Dispute Resolution

You agree that any dispute between you and IoM arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the IoM Service, or any other IoM products or services (collectively, ā€œDisputesā€) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Governing Law:Ā The Terms of Service and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Informal Dispute Resolution:Ā We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against IoM, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contactingĀ info@instituteofmotion.comĀ . Weā€™ll try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or IoM may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate:Ā You and IoM agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate:Ā You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contactingĀ info@instituteofmotion.comĀ within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name and email address) decline this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration Procedures:Ā The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States, County of San Diego, state of California.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate:Ā Either you or IoM may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Diego (CA). Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the IoM products or IoM Service, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions:Ā You may only resolve Disputes with IoM on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations arenā€™t allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes:Ā In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and IoM agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Diego County, California. Both you and IoM consent to venue and jurisdiction there.

Limitation on Claims:Ā Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the IoM products or IoM Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

General Terms

Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between IoM and you regarding the IoM Service, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between IoM and you regarding the IoM Service and IoM Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without IoMā€™s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. IoM may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by IoM under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the IoM Service. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt on the message will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

IoMā€™s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of IoM. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

Additional Terms May Apply

Additional terms may apply to certain products or services. In the event that there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms, the additional terms will control.
