TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective: 12/1/2016
Welcome to Practice by Numbers, found at www.practicenumbers.com (the “Website”). Please read these terms of service (these “Terms”) carefully as they form a contract between you and Practice By Numbers, Inc., a Washington corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Practice by Numbers,”) that governs your access and use of the websites, services and software provided by Practice by Numbers (collectively, the “Services”). In order to use the Services, you must agree to these Terms.
- YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
These Terms contain the terms and conditions that govern your use of the Services and also describe your rights and responsibilities and what you can expect from your use of the Services. Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance and agreements to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you are prohibited from accessing the Services and must immediately discontinue using the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and representing to us that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Services.
You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and only if you have the power to form a contract with Practice by Numbers and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so.

- DISPUTE RESOLUTION
13.1 Mandatory Arbitration.
Any controversy, claim or dispute of whatever nature arising between the parties arising out of or relating to these Terms, or any agreement in which they are incorporated, or the breach, termination, enforceability, scope, or validity thereof, whether such claim existed prior to or arises on or after the execution date (a “Dispute”), will be resolved by binding arbitration in King County, WA, USA or other location agreed upon by Practice by Numbers. The prevailing party in any such action will be entitled to recover all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, at trial and on any appeal or petition for review, incurred in enforcing the terms of these Terms, or any other agreement including the provisions of these Terms.
13.2 Procedure.
Neither party will commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the provisions set forth below unless that party first gives a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the other party setting forth the nature of the Dispute. The parties must attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute through discussions between the parties’ executive officers.
If the Dispute has not been resolved as provided above, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Dispute Notice, or if a party fails to participate in those discussions, then the Dispute will be determined by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with such rules as may be agreed upon by the parties, or failing agreement within thirty (30) days after arbitration is demanded, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The Dispute will be determined by one arbitrator, except that if the Dispute involves an amount in excess of $1,000,000 (exclusive of interest and costs), three arbitrators will be appointed.
Persons eligible to serve as arbitrators need not be members of the AAA, but they must have professional credentials demonstrating the ability to handle a matter of the scope and complexity of the Dispute. The arbitrator(s) will base the award on the applicable law and judicial precedent that would apply if the Dispute were decided by a United States District Court Judge and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to render an award, which is inconsistent therewith. The award must be in writing and include the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which it is based.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, discovery will be limited to an exchange of directly relevant documents. Depositions will not be taken except as needed in lieu of a live appearance or upon mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitrator(s) will resolve any discovery disputes. The arbitrator(s) and counsel of record will have the power of subpoena process as provided by law. The parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have any Dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge or a jury.
The arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflicts-of-law rules, and the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code). Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the application by either party to a court for an order confirming, modifying or vacating the award, the court will have the power to review whether, as a matter of law based on the findings of fact determined by the arbitrator(s), the award should be confirmed, modified, or vacated in order to correct any errors of law made by the arbitrator(s). In order to effectuate such judicial review limited to issues of law, the parties agree (and will stipulate to the court) that the findings of fact made by the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on the parties and will serve as the facts to be submitted to and relied upon by the court in determining the extent to which the award should be confirmed, modified, or vacated.
Except as otherwise required by law, the parties and the arbitrator(s) agree to keep confidential and not disclose to third parties any information or documents obtained in connection with the arbitration process, including the resolution of the Dispute. If either party fails to proceed with arbitration as provided in these Terms, or unsuccessfully seeks to stay the arbitration, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, or is unsuccessful in vacating or modifying the award pursuant to a petition or application for judicial review, the other party will be entitled to be awarded costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, paid or incurred in successfully compelling such arbitration or defending against the attempt to stay, vacate or modify such arbitration award and/or successfully defending or enforcing the award.
13.3 Damages Waiver.
Each party hereby waives any and all rights it may have to receive exemplary or punitive damages with respect to any claim it may have against the other party, it being agreed that no party will be entitled to receive money damages in excess of its actual compensatory damages, notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in these Terms or otherwise. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Section 12, the parties recognize that certain business relationships could give rise to the need for one or more of the parties to seek emergency, provisional or summary relief to repossess and sell or otherwise dispose of goods, equipment and/or fixtures, to prevent the sale or transfer of goods, equipment and/or fixtures, to protect real or personal property from injury, or to obtain possession of real estate and terminate leasehold interests, and for temporary injunctive relief. Immediately following the issuance of any such relief, the parties agree to the stay of any judicial proceedings pending mediation or arbitration of all underlying claims between the parties.
13.4 Class Action Waiver
Any dispute resolution proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or as a named or unnamed member in a class, consolidated, representative or private attorney general action, unless both you and Practice by Numbers specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of an action. This provision is not applicable to the extent such waiver is prohibited by law.
13.5 Right to Opt Out of Class Action Waiver and Binding Arbitration
If you do not wish to be bound by the class action waiver or individual arbitration provisions in this section, you must notify Practice by Numbers in writing within 30 days of the date that you accept these terms, unless the law requires a longer period.
