Payment may be required up-front prior to accessing the Services and/or may be in the form of an ongoing subscription payment. You should review the payment terms for each of the Services offered by FemInnovation, which are expressly incorporated into and made a part of these Terms. To the extent these Terms expressly conflict with the payment terms for a particular Service, the payment terms for the specific Service(s) you have enrolled in will take precedence and apply.

Currency and Taxes. All prices for the Services are in U.S. dollars and do not include any applicable taxes.

Payment Terms for Services. The following fees and payment terms currently apply to the Services. These fees and payment terms are subject to change at any time and without notice.

FEMINNOVATION WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS THAT YOU INCUR AS A RESULT OF SOMEONE ELSE USING YOUR PASSWORD, EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. FEMINNOVATION IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY HARM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE THEFT OF YOUR USER CREDENTIALS AND/OR ANY RESULTING ACCESS TO YOUR DATA, YOUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR USER CREDENTIALS, OR THE USE OF YOUR USER CREDENTIALS BY ANOTHER PERSON OR ENTITY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU WERE AWARE OF SUCH USE.

You may be held liable for any losses incurred by FemInnovation and/or its affiliates, officers, directors, and representatives due to someone else’s use of your Account or password, regardless of whether you were aware of such use.

— DISPUTE RESOLUTION —
*PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS*

You agree that any dispute between you and FemInnovation arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the dispute resolution procedure outlined below. FemInnovation wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case, so we have included a tiered dispute resolution process. This Dispute Resolution section may be modified by written agreement between you and FemInnovation.

Informal Dispute Resolution. Before filing a claim against FemInnovation, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting FemInnovation at Info@FemInnovation.com. Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction through email. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after submission, you may bring a formal proceeding, as outlined below.

Arbitration Agreement. In the unlikely event that our team is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), including, but not limited to, any alleged breach of these Terms, you agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration. Arbitration, which is often less expensive, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and may, but do not have to, award legal fees, arbitrator’s fees and costs, and other costs incurred by the party that does not win the dispute. You agree that any dispute will be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Dispute Resolution section. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Dispute Resolution section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and FemInnovation otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the State of Delaware. If, for some reason, the Parties are unable to arbitrate in the State of Delaware, they will arbitrate in the State of North Carolina. If the claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and FemInnovation submit to the arbitrator, unless a party requests a hearing, or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms must be initiated by arbitration within two (2) years from its accrual date. Any claim or dispute initiated two (2) years or longer from its accrual date shall be time-barred and dismissed.

Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the Limitation of Liability section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The arbitrator may decide if attorneys’ fees and other costs should be awarded to either party.

Fees. You and FemInnovation shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all arbitrator costs, expenses, and fees incurred in connection with arbitrating under these Terms.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. FemInnovation may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

NO CLASS ACTION. YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH FEMINNOVATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER THESE TERMS.

Opt Out of Alternative Dispute Resolution Process. Notwithstanding the above, you can decline or “opt out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting us at Info@FemInnovation.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (first and last name) decline this dispute resolution process.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY NOT OPTING OUT OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS DESCRIBED, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO WHICH YOU MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LITIGATION IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS.

If you opt out of the dispute resolution process described in this section, or if any matter is otherwise determined not to be subject to such dispute resolution process, you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by you and FemInnovation. If any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware determines it does not have proper jurisdiction over the case, you alternatively submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of North Carolina. You agree that any and all claims and matters arising out of these Terms, unless subject to the dispute resolution process described above, may be heard and determined in any such court, and you waive any right to object to such filing on grounds of improper venue, forum non-conveniens, or other venue-related grounds, unless such objection asserts that the claim or matter in dispute is subject to determination through the dispute resolution process described above.

— GENERAL CONTRACT TERMS —
Entire Agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any other terms incorporated by reference, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between FemInnovation and you regarding the Services. These Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between FemInnovation and you regarding the Services.

Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its conflict of laws provisions.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without FemInnovation’s prior written consent.

Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Notices. Any notices or other communications permitted or required under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by FemInnovation via email (in each case to the email address that you provide); and/or (ii) by posting to the Website.

You shall give any notice to FemInnovation by email to info@FemInnovation.com. Notice to FemInnovation shall be effective upon receipt of notice by FemInnovation.

No Inadvertent Waiver. The failure of FemInnovation to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of FemInnovation.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms remain in full force, provided that the essential terms and conditions remain valid, binding, and enforceable and the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by these Terms are materially preserved.
