- Governing Law and Forum Choice

- Dispute Resolution
(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Epiphany agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions, and that you and Epiphany are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and Conditions.
(b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 21(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at help@epiphany.care within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms and Conditions.
(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms and Conditions. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
- If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
(a) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(b) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND EPIPHANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
(c) Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 “Changes in Terms and Conditions” above, if Epiphany changes any of the terms of this Section 21 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms and Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms and Conditions), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) to help@epiphany.care within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Epiphany’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Epiphany in accordance with the terms of this Section 21 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms and Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms and Conditions).
(d) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 21(e) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms and Conditions will still apply.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
