IMPORTANT NOTICES AND DISCLAIMERS

Not a Healthcare Provider. Hero Journey Club is an informational resource to help people understand themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. Hero Journey Club is not a healthcare provider, does not provide medical advice or claim to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or illness, and is not a substitute for licensed, personalized medical care or clinical mental health support. Under no circumstances will any of your interactions with any Journey Guide (“Journey Guide”) or anyone else who uses the Services be deemed or construed to create a physician-patient, therapist-patient, or similar relationship or a fiduciary duty of any kind whatsoever. If you believe that you might benefit from personalized medical care related to the issues discussed through Hero Journey Club, Hero Journey Club highly recommends that you seek outside, professional mental health care.

Mandatory Arbitration. The terms require you and us to resolve any disputes through arbitration on an individual basis. You agree that all disputes arising from, related to, or connected with your use of the services and access to the content will be resolved in accordance with the governing law and arbitration provisions set forth in Sections 15 and 16 below. You understand and agree that by entering into these terms, you waive the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action as set forth under Section 17 below.

Warranty disclaimers and limitation of liability. While there are important terms throughout the Terms, please note that the warranty disclaimers and limitations on our liability are explained in Sections 10 and 11.

17. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.

Please read the following Section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Hero Journey Club and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

We will try work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with Services if you bring that issue to our attention by contacting us at support@herojourney.club. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to your satisfaction.

You and Hero Journey Club agree that any and all controversies, claims and disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services or any information provided through the Services, including Content, whether based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, or any other legal or equitable basis, including without limitation, any dispute or claim relating to the formation, interpretation or enforceability of any part of these Terms (including the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement) and any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable (collectively, “Claims” and individually, a “Claim”), shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court; except that you and we each retain the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court (if the Claim in question qualifies for small claims court); and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court against actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of intellectual property rights. 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.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this 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 Section. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

You and Hero Journey Club agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR HERO JOURNEY CLUB WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this Section 17 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

18. Jury trial waiver, class action waiver: IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS IN ANY WAY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS AN ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDING, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Any adjudication under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

19. 20. Limitation On Time to File Claims. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM ACCRUES, OR BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

20. Injunctive Relief. You hereby acknowledge that your breach of these Terms may result in immediate and irreparable harm to Hero Journey Club. Accordingly, you hereby agree that, in the event of such a breach by you, Hero Journey Club shall be entitled to equitable relief to compel you to cease and desist all unauthorized use, evaluation and/or disclosure of the Services, or Content or other information obtained through the of the Services, as well as any and all other remedies available at law or in equity.

21. Changes to the Services; Termination. Hero Journey Club may change the Services and the Content at any time in its sole discretion. Hero Journey Club may also immediately and without notice terminate the Terms and disable your access to the Services at its sole discretion, including if Hero Journey Club determines that: (a) you have materially breached the Terms; (b) you have violated applicable laws, regulations or third-party rights; or (c) such action is needed to protect the safety or property of Hero Journey Club, other users, or third parties. Hero Journey Club has the exclusive right to control the use of the Services, including but not limited to blocking, deleting, delaying, or filtering any content.

All licenses and other rights granted to you by the Terms will immediately terminate upon termination of your right to use our Services or our termination of the Services. Provisions that, by their nature, survive termination of the Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

22. Severability. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.

23. Headings: Headings are for convenience only, and do not limit or construe the sections.

24. Entire Agreement. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Hero Journey Club regarding your use of the Services or access to the Content and supersede all prior written or oral agreements.

25. Reservation of Rights. We reserve all rights not explicitly granted to you in the Terms.
