1. IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT ARBITRATION
PLEASE NOTE THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER BELOW, WHICH, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS. IT ALSO MEANS YOU MAY NOT PROCEED WITH YOUR CLAIMS IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
2. SITES DO NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL OR HEALTH CARE SERVICES
(a) General Educational & Informational Purposes of the Sites. The content provided through the Sites may include text, audio, videos, photographs, illustrations, graphics, electronic communications, and other media depicting or relating to movement- and exercise-based therapy. We provide this content for general educational and informational purposes only. The Sites do not, and are not intended to, provide services constituting the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, correction, rehabilitation, or treatment of, or any prescription for, any ailment, blemish, deformity, disease, disfigurement, disorder, injury, or other physical or mental condition that you or any other person may have.
(b) Consulting with a Health Care Provider. While the Sites may contain perspectives and opinions on matters relating to movement- and exercise-based therapy and related issues, such content does not take into account your or any other person’s specific circumstances. Before using the Sites and undertaking any exercise or stretching routine, you should consider consulting with your physician, physical therapist, or other health care provider on the appropriateness of such exercise or stretching routine for you. If you have any health problems or health care-related questions while using the Sites, you should promptly call or visit your provider. If you have an emergency medical condition, call 911. The Sites are not intended as a substitute for professional advice from a qualified health care provider that is tailored to your individual circumstances. Your use of the Sites, including any communications you send to or receive from us or any Affiliated Parties, will not make you a patient of Smart PT or any Affiliated Parties, or require Smart PT or any Affiliated Parties to provide any health care service to you or any other person. For purposes of these Terms, “Affiliated Parties” include Smart PT, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective owners, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, contractors, advertisers, and representatives.
(c) ASSUMPTION OF RISKS. You acknowledge your awareness of, and KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY assume responsibility for, all risks, including, without limitation, the risks of injury, associated with your use of the Sites, the performance of any exercise or stretching routine, and your reliance on any content or information accessible through the Sites. Smart PT AND THE AFFILIATED PARTIES are in no way responsible for these risks or any damages you or any other person may suffer in connection with your use of the Sites.
3. NO USERS UNDER AGE 18
The Sites are not intended for users under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any information to or through the Sites. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under age 18. If you are under age 18, do not use our Sites or provide any information on our Sites. If we learn that we have collected or received information from a user under age 18, we will delete that information and terminate any associated account.
4. ACCOUNT CREATION & PASSWORDS
(a) Account Creation. To access certain portions of the Sites, you must create an account. You agree to provide truthful and accurate information during the account creation process. You also agree to maintain the accuracy of any submitted data. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we may terminate your account and suspend your use of any and all Sites.
(b) Passwords. You are solely responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your account password and will notify us of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your account. You agree that you are responsible for all acts and omissions that occur on your account while your password is being used.
5. SUBSCRIPTIONS & PAYMENT
(a) Paid Subscriptions. Some aspects of the Sites and the services offered on the Sites, including content available through our Total Programs and Training Library, require payment before they can be accessed or used (“Paid Subscriptions”). While Paid Subscription options may vary from time to time, they will require you to pay a recurring fee on a monthly, bi-annual, or annual basis, or at some other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to purchase (the “Subscription Period”).
(b) Additional Terms. Your Paid Subscription will typically be subject to Additional Terms presented to you prior to purchase. Please carefully review the terms of the applicable offer before registering for a Paid Subscription. We may change the price of Paid Subscriptions from time to time, but we will communicate any price changes to you as required by applicable law (if any) and, if applicable, we will tell you how to accept those changes. Price changes for Paid Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next Subscription Period.
(c) Charges to Credit Cards & Other Accounts. By registering for a Paid Subscription, you agree to supply and, as applicable, promptly update certain information relevant to your payment for a Paid Subscription, including, without limitation, information about your method of payment (such as your payment card number and expiration date) and your billing address. You also authorize us (or the app store that you use to download our App) to charge your credit card or other account that you have designated, on a recurring basis, for the applicable subscription fee at the then current rate plus applicable tax, if any. All fees are charged in United States dollars (USD). YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING A PAID SUBSCRIPTION.
(d) Auto-Renewal & Cancellation. The subscription fee for a Paid Subscription will be billed at the beginning of your Subscription Period or expiration of your free trial period, if any. Paid Subscriptions automatically renew until they are cancelled as described below. This means that, after your initial Subscription Period, and again after any subsequent Subscription Periods, you will automatically be billed for an additional period of the same length. For example, if you select a monthly subscription, you will be billed for an additional month at the beginning of the next month, and then for each month after that, until you cancel your subscription.
(e) No Refunds; Cancellation. The subscription fee for a Paid Subscription is not refundable. You may cancel your subscription at any time, without fee or penalty, by doing one of the following: (i) emailing info@smartpt123.com and requesting cancellation of your subscription; (ii) if you purchased your Paid Subscription through an Apple ID account, following the instructions available at the following link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039; or (iii) if you purchased your Paid Subscription with a Google Play account, following the instructions available at the following link: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7018481?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid. If you cancel your subscription, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current Subscription Period. After cancellation, you will have continued access to the applicable content and/or services for the remainder of the current Subscription Period, but you will not receive any refund, unless specifically agreed to by Smart PT in writing.
(f) Free Trials. On certain occasions, Smart PT may offer free trials of its paid services. If we offer you a free trial, the specific terms of the free trial will be stated on the relevant portion of the Sites or the marketing material describing the free trial. If you do not cancel your free trial within the trial period set out in the terms of the free trial, it will automatically convert to a Paid Subscription. This means that we (or the app store that you use to download our App) will charge your payment card for the applicable subscription fee once your free trial period ends and we (or the app store that you use to download our App) will continue charging you for each recurring Subscription Period until you cancel the subscription. You may cancel your subscription at any time by following the process described above. The free trial offer terms will present the details of the free trial and the Paid Subscription that will result if you do not cancel.
(g) Accuracy of Pricing & Other Site Information. Smart PT strives to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on the Sites. However, there may be information on the Sites that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to pricing, promotions, offers, and/or trials. We reserve the right to correct any such errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information on the Sites at any time and without prior notice (including after you have purchased a Paid Subscription), at our sole discretion. In the event any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions affect a Paid Subscription you have already purchased, your sole remedy is to cancel your Paid Subscription following the process described above.

In any case, you agree never to settle any matter for which your indemnification is required without our prior written consent.
14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
(a) Dispute Resolution Procedure. By using the Sites, you and Smart PT agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or relating to your use of the Sites or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of them (each, a “Dispute”), both parties will first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and giving the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:
· Notice to Smart PT: You must send notice (1) by email to info@smartpt123.com and (2) by first-class or certified mail to: 8790 19th Street, #224, Alta Loma, CA 91701
· Notice to You: We will send notice by (1) first class or certified mail to the physical address we have on file for you (if any) and (2) by electronic mail to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have a physical or email address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by such means as we deem reasonable.
(b) Dispute Resolution Procedure Condition Precedent to Legal Action. Both you and Smart PT agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party.
(c) Arbitration. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights.
(d) Arbitration by JAMS. All Disputes will be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect (as modified by this agreement to arbitrate), before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/) if it is determined by JAMS or the arbitrator that these standards are applicable to the Dispute. The location of any hearings will be determined by the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted: (i) solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (ii) through a hearing in which you may appear by teleconference or videoconference.
(e) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and Smart PT agree that the arbitrator has the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections as to the existence, scope, or validity of this agreement to arbitrate or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The arbitrator may award (on an individual basis) any relief that would be available in a court. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
(f) Claims Not Subject to Mandatory Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration, either you or Smart PT may: (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court in the United States consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply and (ii) file an individual claim in a court having jurisdiction to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights, provided that any such claim is brought and maintained on an individual basis.
15. CHOICE OF LAW & CHOICE OF FORUM
These Terms have been made in and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the state of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. Except for disputes or claims properly lodged in a small claims court in the United States, any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above will be resolved by a court located in San Bernardino County, California, and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action. You further agree that any such claims will be brought and maintained solely on an individual basis and not as part of any class, consolidated, collective, or representative capacity, and that you waive your right to a jury trial with respect to any such action. You and Smart PT acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms will governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
16. MODIFICATION & TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS & THE SITES
(a) Modification of Terms. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do so, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. In our sole discretion, we may also provide notice of updates to these Terms by other means that we deem reasonable. Regardless of any other notice provided to you (or the lack thereof), by continuing to use the Sites (or any portion thereof) after we post any revisions to these Terms and update the “Effective Date,” you accept these Terms, as modified.
(b) Termination of Terms. We have the right to immediately terminate these Terms with respect to any user which we, in our sole discretion, consider to be using the Sites in an unacceptable manner, which includes any breach by you of these Terms. The following provisions will survive the termination of these Terms: This section and Sections 2(c) (Assumption of Risks), 8 (USER CONTENT & GRANT OF LICENSE TO SMART PT), 10 (COPYRIGHT & TRADEMARK OWNERSHIP) (excluding the license granted to you), 11 (DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES), 12 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY), 13 (INDEMNIFICATION), 14 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION & AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE), 15 (CHOICE OF LAW & FORUM), and 17 (MISCELLANEOUS); and any other provisions of these Terms that, either explicitly or by their nature, must remain in effect even after termination of these Terms.
(c) Changes to the Sites. We also may change, restrict access to, suspend, or discontinue the Sites, or any portion of the Sites, at any time and at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
