16. Legal Disputes. In the event a dispute arises between you and Getaltmed, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Getaltmed agree that any controversy or claim at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or Getaltmed's services ("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. Before resorting to these alternatives, Getaltmed strongly encourages users first to contact Getaltmed directly to seek a resolution. Getaltmed will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation.
16.1 Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, you or Getaltmed may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, on-line, and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. In such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS, in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
16.2 Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Olympia, Washington or where the defendant is located (in Getaltmeds' case, Olympia, Washington, and in your case, your home address or principal place of business). You and Getaltmed agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Thurston, Washington.
16.3 Alternative Dispute Resolution. Getaltmed will consider use of other alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as binding arbitration to be held in Thurston County, Washington or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties.
16.4 Violations of Section 16. All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the party first to assert a Claim, either through a court filing or commencement of arbitration. Should either party file an action contrary to this Section 16, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1000.00, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.
17. General. This Agreement is governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state of Washington, U.S. as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Washington by Washington residents. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and all of its rules and procedures, shall govern Section 16 hereof, to the extent that the FAA is inconsistent with Washington law. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our service, and operation of our site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control.
