6. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, Term of Use, and our Privacy Policy set forth the entire agreement between You and Beta Bionics with respect to the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communication and proposals, whether oral or written.

7. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

7.1. Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between You and Beta Bionics, You will first contact Beta Bionics and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including any court action.

7.2. Governing Law. These Terms, or any claim, cause of action, or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

7.3. Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Orange County, California before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules or alternative arbitration provider selected by Beta Bionics. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language.

Notwithstanding the above, You agree that Beta Bionics shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

7.3.1.  Waiver of Jury Trial. By agreeing to arbitration, You and Beta Bionics are waiving all rights to a trial by jury.  If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, You and Beta Bionics also each waive any right to a jury trial.

7.3.2.  Opt Out Procedure. You may reject this arbitration agreement by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice“) in accordance with the terms of this Section. The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date You use our App for the first time. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to Beta Bionics’ Attn: Legal Department, at the address at the end of these Terms of Use. The Opt-Out Notice must state that You do not agree to the arbitration agreement and must include Your name, address, phone number, and email address used to log in to Your User Account. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way You can opt out of the arbitration agreement. If You opt out of the arbitration agreement, Beta Bionics will also not be bound by these arbitration provisions. All other terms of these Terms of Use will continue to apply.

7.4.  Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action“). You and Beta Bionics each waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have the authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  If this Class Action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void.

8. Indemnification

8.1.  You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Beta Bionics and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to your use or misuse of the App or your breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to the content you submit or make available through this App.

9.  No Assignment

You may not assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Beta Bionics. Any purported assignment, transfer or delegation by You will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
