Dispute Resolution

Section 17

*PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS*

Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting our support team here. In the unlikely event that our support 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 and EBM Data Tools agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration in the before a single arbitrator, in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association and the laws of Missouri without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. 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.

Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Any arbitration will be strictly confidential and neither party will disclose to any person (other than necessary to carry out the arbitration) the existence of the dispute or any aspect of the dispute.

This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or EBM Data Tools from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or EBM Data Tools from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. THE PROPER VENUE FOR ANY ACTION PERMITTED UNDER THIS SUBSECTION REGARDING “EQUITABLE RELIEF” WILL BE THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI; THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE VENUE AND PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.

Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms must be initiated for mediation and/or 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.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: EBM Data Tools may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the platform 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.

YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH EBM DATA TOOLS 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 OF USE.

Notwithstanding the above, You can decline or “opt out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting us using this form within 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 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 OF USE.

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 hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Cape Girardeau County, Missouri (in the case of a state court action) or the Southeastern Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (in the case of a federal court action) in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms. 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 hereby 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.

Text Message Reminders

Section 19

EBM Data Tools, LLC offers an optional text message “reminder” system that You and your Healthcare Provider may use. If your Healthcare Provider uses EBM’s text message system, then You may opt out by following the instructions when prompted by a text message from the EBM system. If you do not opt out of the EBM Text Message reminder service, then You are responsible for the security and possession of your phone or other mobile device.  EBM Data Tools, LLC is not responsible for the security or possession of your mobile device in the event that someone other than You has possession of the mobile device when reminder text alerts are sent. By not opting out of the text message system, You consent to receiving text messages at the phone number you provided, and you understand that some messages may contain health or personal information. You agree that you are responsible for maintaining possession and control of your phone or device so that others may not view health or personal information without your knowledge or consent. 

Residents of California

Section 20

The following applies to residents of California and supplements the information elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. It describes how we collect, use, sell, share, and retain personal information of California residents, and their rights with respect to that personal information. For purposes of this section, “personal information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

Personal Information Collected and Purposes of Collection and Use. We collect, or have collected in the preceding 12 months, the categories of personal information described in the section titled, “Collection of Personal Information.”  Within that same section, we describe the sources from which we may collect those categories of personal information.  We collect and use the personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in the “Use of Personal Information” section above.  

To the extent we collect sensitive personal information (as defined under the CCPA), we only use or disclose it for purposes permitted under the CCPA (e.g., to perform the Services, detect security incidences and prevent fraud, and to verify and maintain the quality of the Services). We do not collect or use sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about California residents.

Personal Information Disclosed for a Business Purpose, “Sold,” or “Shared.” Each of the categories of personal information listed in this Privacy Policy may have been disclosed for business purposes in the preceding 12 months to any of the third parties set forth in the section titled, “Sharing of Personal Information.”  

The CCPA defines a “sale” as disclosing a California resident’s personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. Where such disclosure is for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, it qualifies as “sharing” under California privacy laws.

In the preceding 12 months, we have “sold” or “shared” no data with third party companies. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of California residents under 16 years of age.

Retention of Personal Information. We will retain each of the categories of personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose of collection, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish and defend legal claims, for fraud prevention purposes, or as long as required to meet our legal obligations. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Your California Privacy Rights. As a California resident, in addition to the rights described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, you have the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may not be able to respond to your request, such as when a legal exemption applies or if we are not able to verify your identity.

  • Know/Access. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your personal information:
      • The categories of personal information that we have collected.
      • The categories of sources from which we collected personal information.
      • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information.
      • The categories of third parties with whom we disclose personal information.
      • A copy of the personal information that we have collected about you.
  • Delete. You can ask us to delete the personal information that we have collected from you.
  • Correct. You can ask us to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
  • Opt-out of sales/sharing. If we “sell” or “share” your personal information, you can opt-out.
  • Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above without receiving discriminatory treatment.
 

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights.

  • Right to know/access, delete, or correct your Personal Information. You can request to exercise your access, deletion, or correction rights by:
  • Right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information. You can request to opt-out out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information by clicking the link at the bottom of the Site that states, “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”

If you direct us not to sell/share your Personal Information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

We reserve the right to confirm your California residence to process your requests and will need to confirm your identity to process your requests to exercise your right to know/access, delete, and correct. This is a security measure to, for example, help ensure we do not disclose information to a person who is not entitled to receive it. The identity verification process may vary depending on how you submit your request.

Consistent with California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you do so, we may require proof of your identification, the authorized agent’s proof of identification, and any other information that we may request in order to verify the request, including evidence of valid permission for the authorized agent to act on your behalf. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights).  However, we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to comply with your request if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
