2.3 SUBSCRIPTIONS
(a) Free Trials. You may have access to a free trial period of certain Products (“Free Trial”). You are only allowed one Free Trial regardless of your subscription method. We reserve the right to determine eligibility for Free Trials, which may vary based on factors including the Product or Service you select and whether you have redeemed a Free Trial previously. Free Trials automatically convert to a paid annual or monthly subscription term after a certain period of time. You can disable the automatic conversion by following the cancellation instructions set forth in Section 3 prior to the date of conversion.
(b) Automatically Renewing Subscriptions. Members may access the Products or Services via a subscription fee-based program (“Subscription”). Subscriptions may be available via monthly or annual options (“Subscription Term”).

Subscriptions may be charged separately for Products and Services. If you activate a Subscription, you authorize Mystic Meditations to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis all accrued sums (“Subscription Fee”) on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. Your account will be charged automatically on the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Product or Service (“Subscription Billing Date”) for all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period. The Subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your Subscription or Mystic Meditations terminates your Subscription or your account.
(c) Subscription Cancellation. You may cancel your Subscription at any time, but you must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. See more about cancellation at Section 3.
(d) No Refunds on Subscriptions. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial Subscription Term.

You will only have access to the Products and Services while your Subscription is active and subsisting.
(e) Subscription Methods. You may subscribe via: (i) purchasing a subscription to the Products or Services from the Website, within the Apps, where allowed by the App marketplace partners, (ii) a Benefit Sponsor (as defined in Section 2.5) or (iii) a bundle with one or more of our bundle subscription partners.

(f) Gift Subscriptions. “Gift Subscriptions” are pre-paid memberships to the Products. A person who purchases the gift is the “Giftor.” A person who receives and redeems a Gift Subscription is the “Recipient.” Gift Subscriptions are paid for by a one-time upfront payment. Once bought, the Giftor will receive an Order confirmation and receipt. The Gift Subscription will be sent to the Recipient on the Giftor’s specified date with a gifting code to redeem the Gift Subscription. Gifting codes can only be used once in the country for which they were purchased and cannot be redeemed for cash, resold or combined with any other offers, including free trial unless expressly stated otherwise. Please note that gifting codes cannot be redeemed if the Recipient has already purchased a subscription through the Apple iTunes Store,our iPhone application, the Google Play Store, or our Android application. We will automatically bill the Payment Method that the Giftor provided for any purchased Gift Subscriptions at the time of purchase, not upon delivery to or redemption by Recipient. There are no refunds or other credits for Gift Subscription that are not redeemed.

Mystic Meditations is not responsible if a Gift Subscription is lost, stolen or used without permission.

9.1 Meditation Assumption of Risk
While there is research that meditation can assist in the prevention and recovery process for a wide array of conditions as well as in improving some performance and relationship issues, Mystic Meditations makes no guarantees that the Products and Services provide a physical or therapeutic benefit. There have been rare reports where people with certain psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression have experienced worsening conditions in conjunction with intensive meditation practice. People with existing mental health conditions should speak with their health care providers before starting a meditation practice.
9.2 Coaching Assumption of Risk
If you access and engage with our behavioral health coaching service, you will work with behavioral health coaches who will provide personal support, encouragement and motivation (“Coaches”). The Coaches who provide the behavioral health coaching services do not provide medical advice, professional clinical counseling or other clinical or psychotherapy services. None of the advice provided by the Coaches, the Website or the Products should be considered medical or clinical advice and none of such information is intended as medical or clinical advice. You should always talk to your physician or other other healthcare professionals for diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional advice because of information you have read on our Website, Apps or received through a Coach. Do not stop taking any medications without speaking to your physician or other healthcare professional. The information provided in or through our Website, Apps or the Coaches is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment that can be provided by your doctor or physician, nurse, or any other medical or clinical healthcare professional.

The foregoing indemnification obligation is subject to a Mystic Meditations Entity promptly informing you in writing of any such claim, demand, action, or suit; provided that any failure to so inform you will not prejudice your obligation of indemnity, except to the extent materially prejudiced thereby. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
14.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE Mystic Meditations ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY Mystic Meditations ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE Mystic Meditations ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO Mystic Meditations FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $10,000.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
14.4 NO WAIVER
If we delay exercising or fail to exercise or enforce any right available to us under these Terms, such delay or failure does not constitute a waiver of that right or any other rights under these Terms.
14.5 FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable to you for any lack of performance, or the unavailability or failure, of the Products and Services, or for any failure or delay by us to comply with these Terms, where such lack, unavailability or failure arises from any cause beyond our reasonable control.

Each of us agrees that our only liability in respect of those representations and warranties that are set out in this agreement (whether made innocently or negligently) will be for breach of contract.

14.8 THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
A person who is not party to these Terms will not have any rights under or in connection with these Terms, except as described in Section 11 (DMCA).
14.9 DISPUTE RESOLUTION & BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH Mystic Meditations, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM Mystic Meditations, INCLUDING A LIMITATION ON THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.
(a) Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Mystic Meditations, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us via email to info@mysticmeditation.com or at our mailing address at Mystic Meditations, ATTN: Legal, 906 - 1238 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 6J3, and providing us with your email address. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or Mystic Meditations may bring a formal proceeding.
(b) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Products and Services that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Mystic Meditations are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.
(c) Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.
If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party initiating the arbitration may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. In the case of an in-person hearing, the proceedings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient for both parties with due consideration of the ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by the arbitration institution.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA Rules with the remainder paid by Mystic Meditations. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Mystic Meditations for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
(d) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any unconscionability challenge or other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Mystic Meditations. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award all remedies available under Applicable Law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Mystic Meditations.
(e) Jury Trial Waiver. Except where not permitted by law, you and Mystic Meditations waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Rather, you and Mystic Meditations elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and Mystic Meditations over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and Mystic Meditations waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(f) Class Action Waiver. WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND Mystic Meditations AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Mystic Meditations are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14.10 below.
(g) Opt-out. YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. If you do so, neither you nor Mystic Meditations can force the other to arbitrate. To opt-out, you must notify Mystic Meditations in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, and the email address you used to set up your Mystic Meditations account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to one of the following physical or email addresses: Mystic Meditations, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out 906 - 1238 Seymou Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 6J3 Seymour Street, Van; INFO@MYSTICMEDITATIONS.COM
(h) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Mystic Meditations may bring an individual action in small claims court.
(i) Public Injunction Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may pursue a claim for public injunctive relief either in court or through arbitration.
(j) Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Mystic Meditations.
14.10 EXCLUSIVE VENUE
To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Mystic Meditations agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products and Services will be litigated exclusively in Canada.
14.11 CHOICE OF LAW
The laws of BC, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including tort claims, except to the extent they are preempted by Canadian federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.
14.12 SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Mystic Meditations is located at 1238 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 6J3

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
NO WAIVER
If we delay exercising or fail to exercise or enforce any right available to us under these Terms, such delay or failure does not constitute a waiver of that right or any other rights under these Terms.
FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable to you for any lack of performance, or the unavailability or failure, of the Products and Services, or for any failure or delay by us to comply with these Terms, where such lack, unavailability or failure arises from any cause beyond our reasonable control.

Headspace will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information) (“Payment Method”). You will only have access to the Products and Services while your Subscription is active and subsisting.
(e) Subscription Methods. You may subscribe via: (i) purchasing a subscription to the Products or Services from the Website, within the Apps, where allowed by the App marketplace partners, (ii) a Benefit Sponsor (as defined in Section 2.5) or (iii) a bundle with one or more of our bundle subscription partners.

(f) Gift Subscriptions. “Gift Subscriptions” are pre-paid memberships to the Products.

Once bought, the Giftor will receive an Order confirmation and receipt. The Gift Subscription will be sent to the Recipient on the Giftor’s specified date with a gifting code to redeem the Gift Subscription. Gifting codes can only be used once in the country for which they were purchased and cannot be redeemed for cash, resold or combined with any other offers, including free trial unless expressly stated otherwise. Please note that gifting codes cannot be redeemed if the Recipient has already purchased a subscription through the Apple iTunes Store,our iPhone application, the Google Play Store, or our Android application. We will automatically bill the Payment Method that the Giftor provided for any purchased Gift Subscriptions at the time of purchase, not upon delivery to or redemption by Recipient. There are no refunds or other credits for Gift Subscription that are not redeemed.

You may not access to the Products or Services or any features thereof from countries or territories where such access is illegal, banned or restricted, including in any sanctioned countries or territories.

14. GENERAL
14.1 ASSIGNMENT BY US
Mystic Meditations may transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms to any company, firm or person at any time if it does not materially affect your rights under it. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else. These Terms are personal to you and no third party is entitled to benefit under these Terms except as set out here.
14.2 INDEMNITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Products and Services, and you will defend and indemnify Mystic Meditations, your employer, your health plan, or provider (as applicable) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (together, the “Mystic Meditations Entities”) from and against any claim brought by a third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (a) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Products or Services; (b) your violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any Applicable Law; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third party. The foregoing indemnification obligation is subject to a Mystic Meditations Entity promptly informing you in writing of any such claim, demand, action, or suit; provided that any failure to so inform you will not prejudice your obligation of indemnity, except to the extent materially prejudiced thereby. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
14.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE Mystic Meditations ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY HEADSPACE ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE HEADSPACE ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO HEADSPACE FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $10,000.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
14.4 NO WAIVER
If we delay exercising or fail to exercise or enforce any right available to us under these Terms, such delay or failure does not constitute a waiver of that right or any other rights under these Terms.
14.5 FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable to you for any lack of performance, or the unavailability or failure, of the Products and Services, or for any failure or delay by us to comply with these Terms, where such lack, unavailability or failure arises from any cause beyond our reasonable control.
14.6 NOTICES
Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all notices given by you to us must be given to Mystic Meditations at info@mysticmeditations.com. We may give notice to you at the e-mail address you provide to us when you register, or in any of the ways specified in these Terms. Notice will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on the Products or when an e-mail or other electronic communication is sent. In proving the service of any notice via email, it will be sufficient to prove that such email was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.
14.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms and any additional terms or policies expressly referred to in these Terms constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede all previous oral or written discussions, correspondence, negotiations, previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between us relating to the Products and Services. We each acknowledge that neither of us relies on, or will have any remedies in respect of, any representation or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms or the additional terms or policies expressly referred to in these Terms. Each of us agrees that our only liability in respect of those representations and warranties that are set out in this agreement (whether made innocently or negligently) will be for breach of contract. Nothing in this Section limits or excludes any liability for fraud.
14.8 THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
A person who is not party to these Terms will not have any rights under or in connection with these Terms, except as described in Section 11 (DMCA).
14.9 DISPUTE RESOLUTION & BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH HEADSPACE, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM HEADSPACE, INCLUDING A LIMITATION ON THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.
(a) Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Mystic Meditations, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us via email to info@mysticmeditation.com or at our mailing address at Mystic Meditations, ATTN: Legal, 906 - 1238 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 6J3, and providing us with your email address. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or Mystic Meditations may bring a formal proceeding.
(b) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Products and Services that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Headspace are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.
(c) Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.
If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party initiating the arbitration may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. In the case of an in-person hearing, the proceedings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient for both parties with due consideration of the ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by the arbitration institution.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA Rules with the remainder paid by Mystic Meditations. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Headspace for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
(d) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any unconscionability challenge or other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Headspace. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award all remedies available under Applicable Law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Headspace.
(e) Jury Trial Waiver. Except where not permitted by law, you and Mystic Meditations waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Rather, you and Headspace elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and Mystic Meditations over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and Mystic Meditations waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(f) Class Action Waiver. WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND Mystic Meditations AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Mystic Meditations are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14.10 below.
(g) Opt-out. YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. If you do so, neither you nor Headspace can force the other to arbitrate. To opt-out, you must notify Mystic Meditations in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, and the email address you used to set up your Headspace account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to one of the following physical or email addresses: Mystic Meditations, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out 906 - 1238 Seymou Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 6J3 Seymour Street, Van; INFO@MYSTICMEDITATIONS.COM
(h) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Mystic Meditations may bring an individual action in small claims court.
(i) Public Injunction Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may pursue a claim for public injunctive relief either in court or through arbitration.
(j) Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Mystic Meditations.
14.10 EXCLUSIVE VENUE
To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Mystic Meditations agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products and Services will be litigated exclusively in Canada.
14.11 CHOICE OF LAW
The laws of BC, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including tort claims, except to the extent they are preempted by Canadian federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.
14.12 SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Headspace is located at 1238 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 6J3
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE Mystic Meditations ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY HEADSPACE ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE HEADSPACE ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO Mystic Meditations FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $10,000.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
NO WAIVER
If we delay exercising or fail to exercise or enforce any right available to us under these Terms, such delay or failure does not constitute a waiver of that right or any other rights under these Terms.
FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable to you for any lack of performance, or the unavailability or failure, of the Products and Services, or for any failure or delay by us to comply with these Terms, where such lack, unavailability or failure arises from any cause beyond our reasonable control.
