You may provide CrowdCircle with notices by email to the address indicated in subsection (j) below.

(b) Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between you and CrowdCircle, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and CrowdCircle agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms or our services (a "Claim") in accordance with one of the subsections below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution.

(i) Choice of Law/Forum. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any Claim or dispute you may have against CrowdCircle must be resolved by the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the "Arbitration Option" paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Santa Clara County, California for the purpose of litigating all such Claims or disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CrowdCircle may consider reasonable requests to resolve such disputes through binding arbitration as an alternative to litigation.

(ii) Arbitration Option. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000 and not filed on behalf of a putative class, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration at CrowdCircle’s sole cost and expense. In the event a party elects arbitration, the dispute shall be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), and in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules available online at http://www.adr.org. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AAA and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration;

b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, without breach of this "Arbitration Option" paragraph and without any abridgment of the powers of the arbitrators.

(c) Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of CrowdCircle to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

(d) Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

(e) Assignment. The Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by CrowdCircle without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.

(f) Independent Contractor. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and CrowdCircle as a result of these Terms or use of the HealthCrowd Site. You further acknowledge that by submitting User Content or other Non-CrowdCircle Content, no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied or other relationship is created between you and CrowdCircle other than pursuant to these Terms.
