Welcome to Ask Mia! We partner with health plans (our “Partners”) to help their members (“Members”) understand their benefits (“Benefits”). When your health plan directs you to our application, your use of our application is subject to our terms of service, described below. If you are a Member, (A) our data use is subject to your health plan’s (our Partner’s) privacy policies, so please consult their privacy notices for more information and contact them if you have any questions and (B) the terms below apply only to your use of our services, and do not replace any terms you may separately have with the Partner, nor do they govern any Benefits you receive from the Partner. If you are an employee or other authorized user of a Partner, our data use is governed by our direct agreement with the Partner.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) set forth the legal contract between Askmia LLC (“Ask Mia,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you as an end user of Ask Mia services (“You,” “Your,” or “Customer”) and govern our operation and offering of, and Your access to and use of our downloadable mobile application, together with all associated products, services, data, information, content, and materials thereon (collectively, the “Services”).

XIV. ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS


A. Arbitration Notice

You and we agree that if there is any dispute or claim arising from or related to the Services and/or these Terms, it will be resolved by confidential binding arbitration, rather than in court, after first giving Notice of the Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party and the opportunity to discuss resolution within thirty (30) days of such Notice. The Notice should be sent to: 8 The Green #16109; Dover, DE 19901. This Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting, and the relief sought.

If You and we are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within thirty (30) days after the Notice is sent, You or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. 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) and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.


The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply, and the American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.


The arbitration shall be held in San Diego, California or at another mutually agreed location. If the arbitration involves a consumer, the arbitration will be held at a location convenient to the consumer. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, You or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on You and us, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by You and us unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.


The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by applicable law. The arbitrator will also decide any questions relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration clause, except where a party files a claim in court because it is an Exempt Claim (as defined below). If either party files an Exempt Claim, the court presiding over that claim will determine if the claim is an Exempt Claim under this Arbitration Clause. The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.


Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, You and we agree that if we make any change to this Section (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this Section, any such termination shall not be effective until thirty (30) days after the version of these Terms containing this Section is posted to the websites and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a proceeding against us prior to the effective date of termination.


CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION WAIVER: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.


EXEMPT CLAIMS: You and the Company agree that the following two (2) types of claims are not required to be submitted to an arbitration subject to the following conditions:

(1) You or we are not required to arbitrate a claim brought on an individual basis in small-claims court. However, if (a) there is an appeal from small-claims court, or (b) a change in the claim that renders the small-claims court unable to resolve the claim, then the claim must be resolved in an arbitration under the terms of this Arbitration Provision.

(2) You or we are not required to arbitrate a claim brought on an individual basis to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Such a claim may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and We agree that the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights could cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy. The prevailing party in an action to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights is entitled to recover costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in pursuing that remedy.


OPT OUT: You may opt-out of this mandatory arbitration provision by writing us within sixty (60) calendar days of Your agreement to this Arbitration Provision by mail to 8 The Green #16109; Dover, DE 19901. Include Your name, address, and date in the correspondence. This is the only way You can opt-out.


CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US.


If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.


B. Claims and Disputes Must be Filed Within One (1) Year

To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the effect of any disclaimer contained herein, any cause of action or claim You may have with respect to Your use of the Services, including, without limitation, any website or mobile Application or other Services-related product, services, or other content must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. This section applies to You and Your successors and assigns.


XV. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the California, without reference to its conflict of laws principles.


XVI. CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

The Services are intended only for users over the age of sixteen (16). If we become aware that a user is under sixteen (16) (or a higher age threshold where applicable) and has provided us with Information, we will take steps to comply with any applicable legal requirement to remove such Information. Contact us if You believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected Information from a child under the age of sixteen (16).


XVII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between You and us and govern Your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of these Terms).

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms.

If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provisions in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision of these Terms. No waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms is a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor does any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
