PBC shall promptly notify You in writing of any such claim, action, or proceeding that falls under this indemnification obligation upon becoming aware of it, provided that failure to provide such notice shall relieve You of Your indemnification obligations to the extent You are prejudiced by such failure.

Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means, except where such waiver is prohibited by law.

We may, but are not obligated to, investigate any reported violation of these Terms and We may take any action that We deem appropriate to cure such violation. Such action may include, without limitation, issuing warnings, removing posted content and/or reporting any activity that We suspect violates any law or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties.

Applicable Law

By visiting Our Website, purchasing an item from PBC, or consigning an item with PBC, You agree that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between You and Us or any of Our affiliates, provided that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information. Subject to applicable law, You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Bucks County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for any action, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, any purchases made from PBC, any items sold to PBC, any item You consign with PBC, or Your use of Our Website, and You waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any objection to venue based on inconvenient forum or any other ground. We recognize that You may obtain access to this Website from any jurisdiction in the world, but We have no practical ability to prevent such access. This Website has been designed to comply with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United States. If any material on Our Website, or Your use of Our Website, is contrary to the laws of the jurisdiction where You are located when You access Our Website, Our Website is not intended for You, and We ask that You do not use Our Website. We reserve the right to limit the availability of Our Website or any portion thereof to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction at any time. You represent and warrant that You will use Our Website in compliance with all applicable laws in Your jurisdiction.

Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action Proceedings

Both We and You agree that, in the event of any dispute, the party seeking to address the dispute must contact the other party in writing (including by email or by certified mail, return receipt requested) and advise the other party of the dispute in reasonable detail, including a description of the facts giving rise to the dispute, all relevant supporting documentation, the legal basis for the claim, and the specific remedy being sought with a calculation of damages, if applicable. We will send notices to the email or mailing address You provide. Send all notices to Us at admin@pediatricbehavioral.com with “Dispute Notice” in the subject line. The parties must try in good faith to resolve the dispute for thirty (30) days after receiving the dispute notice before starting formal resolution. During this period, the parties must have at least one substantive discussion (by phone, video, or in person) to try to resolve the dispute. The party initiating the dispute may not proceed to arbitration until the expiration of this thirty (30) day period and compliance with all requirements of this informal dispute resolution process, and any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled during this period. If the dispute is not resolved through this procedure, the party raising the dispute may proceed to mandatory arbitration as set forth below.

ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND PBC WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, EXCEPT FOR: (1) MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT BY EITHER PARTY, (2) CLAIMS FOR INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF REGARDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY, AND (3) DISPUTES THAT CANNOT BE ARBITRATED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY to assert Your rights under these Terms. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, NOT a judge or jury, and arbitration procedures are generally more limited than rules applicable in court. You agree that any dispute related to these Terms, including disputes about: (1) the interpretation of these Terms or other agreements between You and PBC; (2) the performance or obligations of either party; or (3) the validity, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration agreement (except disputes about the Class Action Waiver, which a court will decide), will be resolved by mandatory binding arbitration through JAMS under its applicable rules (based on the claim amount and subject matter) at the request of either party, subject to the following conditions. If JAMS cannot or will not serve as the arbitration administrator, the parties will agree on a substitute administrator. If they cannot agree, a court will appoint one.

Unless You elect to conduct the arbitration by telephone or by video, an in-person arbitration hearing will be conducted at a JAMS facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or if no JAMS facility is available in Philadelphia, at another mutually convenient location in Pennsylvania or via alternative means as agreed by the parties. The selection of the arbitrator shall be made pursuant to JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures or JAMS’s Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, depending on the amount of the claim as specified herein.

For claims of $5,000.00 or less, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator under JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. For claims exceeding $5,000.00, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator under JAMS’s Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Subject to the applicable JAMS procedures, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery in the forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the purpose of arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any provision of this section or these Terms, except as necessary to comply with JAMS’s Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously. If more than one (1) day is necessary, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

The arbitrator shall, after reaching a judgment and award, prepare and distribute to the parties written findings of fact and conclusions of law relevant to such judgment and containing an opinion setting forth the reasons for the granting or the denial of any award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each party will be responsible for its own filing fees, as set by JAMS, to initiate arbitration; provided, however, that if You are a consumer and applicable law or JAMS rules require PBC to pay or advance certain fees, PBC will comply with such requirements. To the extent permitted by JAMS procedures and applicable law, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and an equal share of the arbitrator’s and administrative fees of arbitration, and other expenses and fees required under JAMS procedures.

Notwithstanding the arbitration clause set forth herein, either party may bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or to seek other equitable relief for which arbitration is not an adequate remedy.

BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Any arbitration, claim, or other proceedings by or between You and PBC shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in any class action, mass action, or on a consolidated or representative basis. You further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate similar claims or unrelated transactions. You acknowledge and agree that this agreement specifically prohibits You from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. 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.

Corrections

Information on Our Website may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including, but not limited to, descriptions, pricing, availability, and other information. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change, update, or remove any information on Our Website at any time without liability. 

Entire Agreement and Admissibility

These Terms and any policies, statements, notices, or operating rules (individually and collectively, together with the Terms, the “Entire Agreement”) posted on Our Website or otherwise made available to You constitute the entire agreement and understanding between You and PBC with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, agreements, and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. A printed version of the Entire Agreement shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to use of Our Website to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate authority to be invalid, illegal, unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms, and the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect or impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue to be fully valid, binding, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Privacy Practices

You must review and comply with Our Privacy Policy (available at https://www.pediatricbehavioral.com/notice-of-privacy-practices) which governs Your access to and use of Our Website, and which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into and made an integral part of these Terms. By using Our Website, You expressly consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and processing of Your information as set forth in Our Privacy Policy.

Updates to Terms and Conditions

We may make changes to these Terms periodically, and it is Your responsibility to review them frequently to stay informed of any changes. The most current version of Our Terms will always be posted on Our Website. Each new version of these Terms becomes effective from the moment it is posted and will regulate Your use of Our Website and any services purchased from PBC.
