FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS
If you are a U.S. user whose access to ConnectedPulse Services
is provided by your employer or insurance plan, the terms in this Section VI do
not apply to you because your employer or insurance plan will pay ConnectedPulse
directly.
Subscriptions
You agree to pay the monthly subscription fee(s) at the rates in
effect when the charges are incurred, including any applicable taxes. Any
change in the subscription fee(s) will go into effect for the next billing
period after we provide notice of the change.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING CONNECTEDPULSE WITH VALID
CREDIT CARD OR PAYMENT ACCOUNT DETAILS AND FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. ConnectedPulse’s
third party payment processor will automatically charge the credit card or
payment account associated with your account at the beginning of the billing
period, and billing will recur automatically at monthly intervals until you
change or terminate your account. If you want to designate a different credit
card or payment account, or if there is a change in your credit card or payment
account status, you must change your information in your account; this may
temporarily disrupt your access to your account while ConnectedPulse’s third
party payment processor verifies your new payment information. Any change in
the chosen payment method will go into effect for the next billing period.
ConnectedPulse itself does not collect or store payment card
information. Our payment processor is PCI-compliant.
If ConnectedPulse’s third party payment processor is unable to
successfully charge your credit card or payment account for fees due, we
reserve the right to revoke or restrict access to your account, or terminate
your account. If you terminate your account for any reason or if we terminate
your account due to your breach, such termination will be effective
immediately, and you will not receive a refund for any amounts you already paid
for that billing period. Further, you agree to reimburse us for any collection
costs and interest for any overdue amounts.
We may contact you via email regarding your account, for reasons
including, without limitation, a problem with your credit card or payment
account.
Free Trial Offers
If you receive a free trial offer for a specific time period,
you will not be charged during the period of the free trial, but the
subscription fee will be automatically charged to the credit card associated
with your account for the subsequent period the day after your free trial
period has ended, in advance, in accordance with the “Subscriptions” terms
stated above. Thereafter, you will be charged at monthly intervals until you
decide to cancel. Please make a note of when your free trial will expire as you
may not receive additional notice prior to the automatic charge if you do not
cancel before the free trial period expires. Free trials are limited to one per
person. If you attempt to register for a second free trial offer, ConnectedPulse
will automatically charge your credit card in accordance with the
“Subscriptions” terms stated above. If you do not wish to pay the applicable
fees for a subscription, you should cancel your account before the free trial
period ends and not complete any subsequent registration for a subscription.
No Refunds
Unless we state in writing otherwise, all fees and charges are
nonrefundable.

11. GOVERNING LAW &
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND
WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND CONNECTEDPULSE HAVE
AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
Governing Law
The Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the state of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict of law
principles.
Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
All disputes, claims, controversies and matters arising out of
or relating to or in connection with the Terms or the breach, termination,
enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services,
including any Website or App (collectively, "Disputes") shall be
exclusively settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), and judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas, USA,
before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules
and shall be conducted in the English language. You acknowledge that by
agreeing to arbitration as the exclusive forum for the resolution of all
Disputes, you are waiving their right to a trial by jury.
All arbitrations shall be conducted and resolved on an
individual basis, and not a class-wide, multiple plaintiff or similar basis. No
arbitration shall be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding
involving any other person or entity.
Jurisdiction and Venue
In the event that arbitration is not available, you and ConnectedPulse
agree that any and all Disputes will be brought in the federal or state courts
located in Dallas, Texas, USA, and each agrees that such courts shall have
exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any such actions. Further, ConnectedPulse also
may seek injunctive or other equitable relief for breach of these Terms in any
court of competent jurisdiction wherever located. You consent to the
jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to
inconvenient forum.
Fees and Costs
The prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding,
including any arbitration proceeding, will be entitled to recover its
reasonable legal fees and costs and expenses from the other party.
Future Amendments to this Section
Both of us agree that if we make any amendment to this
"Governing Law & Dispute Resolution" section (other than an
amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future,
that amendment will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding
against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment
will apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this section that have
arisen or may arise between you and ConnectedPulse. We will notify you of
amendments to this section by posting the amended Terms on www.connectedpulse.com. If you do not agree to the amended terms,
you may close your account within 30 days and you will not be bound by the
amended dispute resolution terms. If you do not have an account (or once you
have closed your account, if applicable), you must cease using the Services
immediately. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate
any Dispute between you and ConnectedPulse in accordance with the provisions of
this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted
the Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Terms).
