10.2 General Arbitration Process
Any dispute or claim that may arise between the parties relating in any way
to or arising out of this
agreement, Customer’s use of or access to the Services (Claim), must be
resolved exclusively through
final
and binding arbitration (rather than in court) under the then current

entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration will be held
in Denver County,
Colorado.
10.3 Optional Arbitration for Claims Less than $10,000
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Claim, where the total amount of the
award sought is less than
$10,000, the party requesting relief may choose to resolve the dispute in a
more cost-effective
manner
through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If a party elects
arbitration, they must initiate
such
arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
provider mutually agreed
upon by
the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following
rules: (i) the
arbitration will
be conducted by telephone or online and be solely based on written
submissions, the specific manner
of
which to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the
arbitration will not involve
any personal
appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by
the parties; and (iii)
any
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator is final and may be entered
in any court of
competent
jurisdiction.
10.4 Enforcement
Notwithstanding Sections 10.2 and 10.3, ProveMD may bring an action to
enforce its intellectual
property
or other proprietary rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.
10.5 Equitable Relief
Notwithstanding anything above, ProveMD may seek and obtain injunctive and
equitable relief in any
court of competent jurisdiction without restriction or required process in
this agreement.
10.5 PROHIBITION OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS
EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY
BASIS, AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND
MAY NOT OTHERWISE
PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING. IF THIS CLASS
ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WAIVER PROVISION IS HELD TO BE
UNENFORCEABLE, THEN SECTIONS
10.b AND 10.c SHALL ALSO BE UNENFORCEABLE.
