Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Nucliq Biologics agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide Nucliq Biologics with written notice of your desire to do so by email or regular mail at [info@mygutcheck.ca, 100 Signal Hill Rd, 0100 Genesis Suite, St. John’s, NL, A1A 1B3] within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you don’t provide Nucliq Biologics with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide Nucliq Biologics with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the [St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador] and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide Nucliq with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and Nucliq Biologics are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Nucliq Biologics otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”) in accordance with

the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “CAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The CAA Rules are available at https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca/ or by calling the CAA at 1-800-856-5154). The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this 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 CAA Rules. (The CAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration and a separate Demand for Arbitration for Newfoundland residents.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the CAA’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 CAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the CAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Nucliq Biologics otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Nucliq Biologics submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the CAA Rules. Subject to the CAA 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.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the CAA 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 thereof. 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. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Nucliq Biologics will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any CAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the CAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $5,000, Nucliq Biologics will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose.

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Nucliq Biologics changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to [info@mygutcheck.ca]) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Nucliq Biologic’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Nucliq Biologics in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Nucliq Biologics and You regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Nucliq Biologics and You regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the “Arbitration” section above or by court of competent jurisdiction, but only if you timely opt out of arbitration by sending us an Arbitration Opt-out Notice in accordance with the terms set forth above), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Nucliq Biologic’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Nucliq Biologics may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Nucliq Biologics under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Nucliq Biologic’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such 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 Nucliq Biologics. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
