22. Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and ComForCare pertaining to the subject matter hereof. They supersede all other agreements, communications, or representations, oral or written, between us, past or present.

23. Dispute Resolution. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF CERTAIN DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMIT THE PROCEDURES BY WHICH YOU AND COMFORCARE CAN SEEK RELIEF. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND US WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

A. Agreement to Arbitrate and Jury Waiver. You and Best Life Brande mutually agree to resolve Disputes (as defined below) with ComForCare in arbitration, as set forth in more detail below. Both you and ComForCare waive the right to a jury trial on any Disputes, to the fullest extent of the law. The word “Disputes” means any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, liabilities, and/or demands in any way relating to, in connection with, or arising out of the Website, use of any cookies, pixels, web beacons, or similar technologies, data or information privacy, sharing, or security concerns, incidents, or breaches, or these Terms of Use, including any past, currently pending, existing, or future Disputes of any kind. “Disputes” do not include, and this arbitration and class waiver provision does not apply to, claims by or against ComForCare employees related to the terms or conditions of their employment, individual actions brought in small claims court for disputes fully within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction, or claims in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

B. Class Action Waiver. To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, you and ComForCare agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, on an individual basis, and that you and ComForCare each waive any right to pursue claims on a class, collective, non-individual, mass, or consolidated basis or in a representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, non-individual, mass, or class proceeding. Nothing in these terms should be read to allow class arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. All other disputes with respect to whether this Dispute Resolution provision and its terms are unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court.

C. Pre-Arbitration Notice and Good Faith Negotiations. You and ComForCare also agree that each party will notify the other in writing of any Dispute before initiating arbitration, so that we can try to resolve the Dispute informally and individually. Notice by ComForCare will be sent to you at your last known street and email addresses on file and notice by you to ComForCare will be sent by mail to ComForCare Legal Department, 900 Wilshire Dr. Suite 102, Troy, MI 48084, Attn: Chief Legal Officer. The notice of Dispute must be specific and individual to you and include your name, street address, telephone number, and email address used for access to the Website, as well as a brief description of the Dispute, the amount of money (if any) at issue, and the specific relief sought. The notice must be signed and include your handwritten signature or the handwritten signature of a ComForCare employee, as applicable, depending on which party is initiating the Dispute. You and ComForCare then agree to negotiate personally, individually, and in good faith to try to resolve the Dispute. If and only if we cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the notice is received, then either party may commence an arbitration proceeding with a written demand for arbitration. Any limitations period will be tolled from the date the Dispute is noticed to the other side until the expiration of this thirty (30)-day period. Compliance with this Pre-Arbitration Notice provision is a condition precedent and requirement for initiating any arbitration proceedings.

D. Arbitration Procedures. To make arbitration as cost-efficient for the parties as possible, the parties agree to initiate any arbitration without using an arbitration service ComForCare or administrator and to instead serve directly on the other party a written arbitration demand setting forth the relevant facts and claims. The demand will be specific and individual to you and include the information and signature set out in the Pre-Arbitration Notice provision above. The delivery addresses for service of the written arbitration demand are the same as set out in the notice paragraph above. The arbitrator will be selected through mutual agreement of the parties, and the arbitrator will be a licensed attorney or a retired judge. The parties may use an arbitrator from the lists of court-approved neutrals listed on the Website for the U.S. District Court for the state of Michigan, https://www.courts.michigan.gov/ or another mutually agreed-upon arbitrator, and the court will appoint an arbitrator under 9 U.S.C. § 5, if the parties cannot agree. The arbitration will be conducted in Oakland County; your county of residence; or another mutually agreed location, and the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. Any documents exchanged will not be used or shared outside of the arbitration process without the prior written consent of the parties or as required by law. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, all arbitration proceedings will be confidential to ComForCare and you and closed to the public and anyone not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and other remedies on an individual basis only to the extent available under applicable law and consistent with and subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms of Use. Also, to the fullest extent allowed by law, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of you or ComForCare and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by your or ComForCare’ individual claim. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as modified by these terms, the parties agree to conduct their arbitration pursuant to the JAMS General Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available here.

E. Arbitration Fees. The party initiating the arbitration will pay any filing, case initiation, or arbitrator fees, up to the amount that would be required to pursue the same claim in the U.S. District Court for Michigan. For individual damages claims with less than $25,000 at issue, ComForCare will pay the additional, reasonable fees and costs of arbitration. For claims with more than $25,000 at issue, or where a party seeks injunctive or declaratory relief, the parties will share the fees and costs of arbitration equally. The parties’ good faith negotiation of reasonable fees with the arbitration ComForCare is authorized as needed. If the arbitrator determines that your or our claim(s) are frivolous, the party bringing the frivolous claim(s) will reimburse ComForCare the other party for any amounts that the other party paid for the arbitration.

F. Federal Arbitration Act. These Terms of Use affect interstate commerce, and the interpretation and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution provision will be substantively, procedurally, and exclusively governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, except as modified by these Terms of Use.

G. Forum Selection. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and ComForCare agree to proceed in state and federal courts covering Michigan, and you agree to be subject to personal jurisdiction there, waiving any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum defenses or objections to those courts. If ComForCare does not enforce any rights under these Terms of Use at any point, it will not be deemed a waiver of any provision or right under these Terms of Use.

24. Limitation of Time to File Claims. Any action, claim or dispute you have against us must be filed within one (1) year, unless prohibited by applicable law. The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.

25. Contact Information. For all questions about these Terms of Use, please contact us at info@Comforcare.com.
