Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, PixMD or the Site or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate, shall be determined by final and binding arbitration or in small claims court.
If you elect to seek arbitration or file an action in small claims court, you must first send a written Notice of your claim ("Notice") to us at the address below. Your Notice must describe the nature and basis of your claim and set forth the specific relief you are seeking. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or PixMD may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
Any such Notice must be submitted to us within one (1) year after the claim at issue arose; otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the claim is permanently barred.
Small claims actions may be filed in the county in which you live. Arbitration hearings shall be held in St. Johns County, Florida before one arbitrator, but you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or via written submissions. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the arbitration shall take place according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear all of its own costs of arbitration except the fee for the arbitrator shall be equally split between the parties. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify these Terms or award punitive or exemplary damages to either party. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Seeking any such remedies shall not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to compel arbitration.
Only individual claims may be brought. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney general actions, and any other proceedings where parties act in a consolidated or representative capacity are not allowed. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.
You also agree that PixMD may bring suit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the Site, or any infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

14. Jurisdiction
PixMD controls and operates the Site from its offices in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL in the United States and PixMD does not represent that the Site, the Content, the PixMD Content or the Submissions by either health care providers or community members, are appropriate, available or may be downloaded for use outside the United States. If you are located outside the United States and you use the Site and the Service, then you are responsible for complying with all of your local laws if and to the extent your local laws are applicable. These Terms and the Site are governed by United States federal law and the laws of the State of Florida, excluding any conflicts of law provisions. Registering for a Service Account, purchasing a product, accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Site means you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in St. Johns County, Florida and you waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of St. Johns County, Florida.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PixMD and the PixMD Parties from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with: (a) your Submissions or any other Content you post or submit to or through the Site; (b) your use of the Site; (c) your conduct in connection with the Site or with other users of the Site, and; (d) any violation of these Terms, any other PixMD policy or of any law or the rights of any third party.
16. Claim Must Be Filed Within One Year; Arbitration; No Class Actions
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, PixMD or the Site or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate, shall be determined by final and binding arbitration or in small claims court.
If you elect to seek arbitration or file an action in small claims court, you must first send a written Notice of your claim ("Notice") to us at the address below. Your Notice must describe the nature and basis of your claim and set forth the specific relief you are seeking. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or PixMD may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
Any such Notice must be submitted to us within one (1) year after the claim at issue arose; otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the claim is permanently barred.
Small claims actions may be filed in the county in which you live. Arbitration hearings shall be held in St. Johns County, Florida before one arbitrator, but you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or via written submissions. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the arbitration shall take place according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear all of its own costs of arbitration except the fee for the arbitrator shall be equally split between the parties. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify these Terms or award punitive or exemplary damages to either party. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Seeking any such remedies shall not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to compel arbitration.
Only individual claims may be brought. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney general actions, and any other proceedings where parties act in a consolidated or representative capacity are not allowed. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.
You also agree that PixMD may bring suit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the Site, or any infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
