If you have a dispute with one or more users of KidneyLearningHub.org or with any party who provides a website linked to on KidneyLearningHub.org, you release us from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

16. Dispute Resolution

If a dispute occurs between us about any violation of these Terms or use of KidneyLearningHub.org that cannot be solved through informal negotiation, and you wish to file a claim against us, we will first choose mediation. These Terms and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, as an agreement wholly performed in that state regard to any conflict of law rules, as well as applicable federal law of the United States. These Terms are not governed by the United Nations Convention On Contracts For the Sale of Goods, which is expressly rejected.

The period for mediation shall be thirty (30) days, unless the parties mutually agree to an extension. If mediation fails, the parties will arbitrate the dispute according to the applicable rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). Any arbitration shall take place in Florida, before an arbitrator chosen from JAMS. Any award shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties, and a judgment rendered on the claim may be entered in any court having jurisdiction there. The arbitrator may award any form of remedy or relief (including injunctive relief, such as temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions) that would otherwise be available in court. Any award pursuant to said arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator setting forth the reason for the award. To all lawful extent, the arbitrator will have the authority to hear and grant motions and applications, including on an ex parte (that means one party presenting alone before the arbitrator) or expedited basis. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered, and enforcement may be sought in, any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party in any dispute relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover associated costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of KidneyLearningHub.org or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. Any claim by you that may arise in connection with these Terms will be compensable (paid by) by monetary damages and you will not be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief.
