Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL K and B Surgical Center OR ITS OFFICERS, PROVIDERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES OR THIRD PARTIES PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE OR VIA OTHER CHANNELS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PHONE AND EMAIL, BE LIABLE TO ANY USER OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWELL, OR LOSS OF DATA) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE OR ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN, INCLUDING WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF K and B Surgical Center HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES.

Legal Dispute
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT AS THE TERMS OF USE OTHERWISE PROVIDE, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY ANY CLAIM IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as access to discovery or appeals, also might be unavailable or limited in arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim or controversy (that is not resolved informally as set forth below) between you and K and B Surgical Center, its officers, agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, ‘K and B Surgical Center‘) arising from or relating in any way to: (1) these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, and the relationships which result from these Terms of Use; (2) your use of any website owned or operated by K and B Surgical Center; or (3) any products or services sold or distributed by K and B Surgical Center or through any website owned or operated by K and B Surgical Center (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. Covered Disputes shall be interpreted broadly.
Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution
K and B Surgical Center values its customers and seeks to resolve disputes informally where possible. Before formally pursuing a Covered Dispute in arbitration, you agree to first send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to K and B Surgical Center by email at info@centerforhyperhidrosis.com. If K and B Surgical Center has a dispute with you, K and B Surgical Centeragrees to first send a detailed Notice to your e-mail address on file with us. Your Notice must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name; (2) your address, telephone number, and email address; (3) information sufficient for K and B Surgical Center to identify any transaction or service at issue; and (4) a detailed description of your dispute, the nature and basis of your claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief you are seeking with a calculation for it. You must personally sign this Notice. K and B Surgical Center’s Notice will likewise set forth (1) information sufficient for you to identify any transaction or service at issue and (2) a detailed description of our dispute, the nature and basis of our claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief we are seeking with a calculation for it. You and K and B Surgical Center agree to negotiate in good faith about the dispute in an effort to swiftly resolve it to your satisfaction without the need for a formal proceeding. Should K and B Surgical Center request a telephone conference with you in an effort to resolve your dispute as part of this informal process, you agree to personally participate (with your counsel if you are represented). This process should result in resolution of the dispute, but if for some reason it is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of a fully completed Notice and the parties have not agreed to extend this time period, you or K and B Surgical Center may initiate an arbitration. Compliance with and completion of this mandatory informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration administrator shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration unless the claimant has certified in writing that they have fully complied with this process. This certification shall be personally signed by you or K and B Surgical Center. A court shall have the authority to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations without first providing a fully completed Notice and participating in good faith in this informal dispute resolution process.
Initiating Arbitration and Arbitration Rules
Any arbitration between you and K and B Surgical Center shall be administered by ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR”) in accordance with ADR’s operative Arbitration Rules (the “ADR Rules”) in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is filed with ADR, as modified by this Legal Disputes Section. For a copy of the ADR Rules, please visit https://www.adrservices.com/services-2/arbitration-rules/. If ADR is unavailable or unwilling to administer the proceeding under the Legal Disputes Section as written, the parties agree that the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, “AAA Rules”) in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is filed with AAA, as modified by this Legal Disputes Section. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to apply this Legal Disputes Section as written, the parties shall mutually agree on an alternative administrator that will administer the proceeding under the Legal Disputes Section as written. If the parties are unable to agree, they will petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration administrator that will do so. Any arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send the demand for arbitration or arbitration notice form made available from the arbitration administrator and supplement that form with a detailed description of your claim, including with the information required for your Notice and the accompanying signed certification of compliance with the informal process referenced above (collectively referred to as “demand for arbitration”), to ADR (or to AAA if it is the administrator as set forth above). You must personally sign your demand for arbitration. You agree to also send K and B Surgical Center a copy of your demand for arbitration at 9033 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 210, Beverly Hills, CA 90211. If K and B Surgical Center initiates arbitration, we will send a copy of our demand for arbitration to your email address on file with us.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, virtually, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another location reasonably convenient for you, or at a mutually agreed-upon location. K and B Surgical Center reserves the right to request an in-person or videoconference hearing at any point within 14 days after its deadline to file any answer. After that time, K and B Surgical Center retains the right to request an in-person or virtual hearing from the arbitrator, which the arbitrator may elect to require along with your participation (with your counsel if you are represented). Should a hearing take place in person, it shall take place consistent with the geographic parameters set forth above.
Arbitration Fees
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the ADR Rules (or the AAA Rules should AAA be the designated administrator as set forth above). Upon a showing of financial hardship, K and B Surgical Center will consider your request to promptly reimburse your portion of the arbitration fees provided for in the ADR (or AAA) Rules.
Arbitration Authority
The arbitrator has the sole authority to and shall address all claims or arguments by both parties concerning the formation, legality, and enforceability of this arbitration clause, the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between us.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator is bound by and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to address the essential findings and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitration award shall be binding only between you and K and B Surgical Center and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding involving a different party, provided that the arbitrator may consider rulings in other arbitrations involving different individuals. The arbitrator may award fees and costs as provided by the ADR Rules (or the AAA Rules if AAA is the designated administrator as set forth above) or to the extent such fees and costs could be awarded in court or if the arbitrator determines that a claim, proceeding, or defense was frivolous or brought for harassment, for an improper purpose, or in bad faith. The arbitrator shall apply the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of the award.
Sole Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration: (1) either you or K and B Surgical Center may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply, provided that it is brought and maintained as an individual claim and is not appealed or removed to any court of general jurisdiction; and (2) you agree that you or K and B Surgical Center may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Special Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration
If 100 or more individuals seek to initiate arbitrations with K and B Surgical Center raising similar claims, and counsel for the individuals bringing the claims are the same or coordinated or the claims are otherwise coordinate, and if no substantive ruling has been made in an arbitration between you and K and B Surgical Center relating to the decision on those facts, then both you and McDonald’s have the unilateral right to opt out of this arbitration provision and have your dispute heard in the federal and state courts of the State of California by sending a written notice to the other party.
Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver
Except as the Terms of Use otherwise provide and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and K and B Surgical Center acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to the litigation of disputes in state or federal courts of general jurisdiction. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action/class arbitration or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You and K and B Surgical Center may not be plaintiffs or class members in any purported class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding, or otherwise make or proceed with any claim on a collective or consolidated basis, and may each bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity. As referenced above, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim. If a court determines that this class action waiver is not enforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted (or the decision is otherwise final), then the parties agree that that particular claim or request for relief shall proceed in court but shall be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims.
Governing Law
You and K and B Surgical Center agree that any claim between us involves commerce under, and is governed exclusively by, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal law, and not by any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration or in any way imposing requirements beyond or inconsistent with those set forth in the FAA. Where otherwise applicable, the laws of the State of California apply. Should any action proceed in court (other than in small claims court), you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of California. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by K and B Surgical Center of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of K and B Surgical Center to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and K and B Surgical Center regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website
Termination
Your ability to access and use the Website remains in effect until terminated in accordance with these Terms of Use. You agree that K and B Surgical Center, in its sole discretion, may terminate any account you possess on the Website and your use of the Website and may remove and delete any content you create if K and B Surgical Center believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with these Terms of Use or for any other reason. K and B Surgical Center also may in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Website, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Website may be effected without prior notice and you acknowledge and agree that K and B Surgical Center may bar any further access to the Website. Further, you agree that K and B Surgical Center will not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of access to the Website.
The provisions of the Intellectual Property Rights, Disclaimer of Warranties, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, Legal Dispute sections, together with and any other rights and obligations which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination, will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.
