Dispute Resolutions and Arbitration
ā€‹These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in Maricopa County, Arizona before a single arbitrator, selected jointly, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules. Any judgment on an arbitrator’s award, if made, is binding and may be entered into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction. Prior to seeking arbitration, you must contact Dr. Saru Bala, LLC via e-mail in attempt to resolve the situation prior to resorting to arbitration. By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, you are agreeing to a modification of the statute of limitations such that any arbitration must be commenced within one year of the date of the act, omission, or other conduct complained of as submitted by you in e-mail or shall otherwise be forfeited forever.
You agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in Maricopa County, Arizona and you agree to and do hereby waive any right to class arbitration and agree, instead, to conduct an arbitration related solely to any individual claims you and/or any entity related to you asserts against Dr. Saru Bala, LLC. You further agree that to the fullest extent permissible by law, you shall be responsible for all costs associated with initiating the arbitration and for the administration of the arbitration and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs necessary to enforce the agreement.
