Nothing on this Service is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

  • Notice of Dispute. In the event of a Dispute, you or the Company must give the other a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and a proposed solution (a “Notice of Dispute“). You must send any Notice of Dispute by first class mail to Milford Stevenson, d/b/a byMilford.com, 845 Texas Ave, Ste 200, Houston, TX 77002 and also via e-mail to milford@byMilford.com. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you by first class mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address. You and the Company will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, you or the Company may commence arbitration.
  • Binding Arbitration. Any Dispute which has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein within sixty (60) days or such time period as you and the Company may otherwise agree, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all Disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final. The place of arbitration will be Harris County, Texas. The arbitrator’s decision will be written and binding on the parties and any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.
  • Arbitration Procedure. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time such arbitration is initiated. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. To the extent the forum provided by AAA is unavailable, the Company and you agree to select a mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution service and that such alternative dispute resolution service will apply the AAA Rules. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief to you only individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. The arbitrator has the power to award attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party, which will be part of the arbitration award. The arbitrator’s decision will be written and binding on the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Class Action Waiver. The parties agree that (i) no arbitration proceeding hereunder, whether a consumer dispute or a business dispute, may be certified as a class action or proceed as a class action, or on a basis involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other purchasers, or potential purchasers or persons similarly situated, and (ii) no arbitration proceeding hereunder may be consolidated with, or joined in any way with, any other proceeding. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or any document incorporating these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby.
  • Venue.
