By using our services
and/or our Web sites, you’re bound by its conditions. It covers
important topics such as how long it lasts, fees for early
termination and late payments, our rights to change its conditions
and your service, limitations of liability, privacy, and settlement
of disputes by mediation and arbitration instead of in court. This
agreement will apply to your service from us, including all your
existing plans.
Your Plans of
Service. YOUR SERVICE PLANS BECOME PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. The
prices you pay may depend in part of how long – the minimum term –
you’re agreeing in advance to do business with us. Service plans
describe these prices and your minimum term. To the extent any
condition in your service plan expressly conflicts with this
agreement, the condition in your service plan will govern. If at any
time you change your service (by accepting a promotion, for example),
you’ll be subject to any requirements, such as a new minimum term,
we set for that change.
Your Rights to Refuse This Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT STARTS WHEN YOU ACCEPT. Paragraphs marked “∞” continue after it ends. You accept when you do any of the following things after an opportunity to review this agreement;
-
Give us written or electronic signature;
-
Tell us orally or electronically that you accept;
-
Logging onto the SETI Add or Your Health Your Choice Web site (or any of its affiliate organizations’ websites).
-
Open a package that says you are accepting by opening it; or
-
Use our service after making any change or addition when we’ve told you that the change or addition requires acceptance.
IF YOU DON’T WANT
TO ACCEPT, DON’T DO ANY OF THESE THINGS.
Your Rights to Change or End Your Service; Termination Fees. ∞Except as explicitly permitted by this agreement, your agreeing to maintain service with us for a minimum term. (Periods of suspension of service count towards your minimum term unless we authorize the suspension.) After that, you’ll become a month-to-month customer under this agreement. YOU MUST PAY UP TO $175 PER ACCOUNT AS AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE IF YOU CHOOSE TO END YOUR SERVICE BEFORE BECOMING A MONTH-TO-MONTH CUSTOMER, OR IF WE TERMINATE IT EARLY FOR GOOD CAUSE. (This fee applies only to the extent permitted by law). If you terminate your service as of the end of your minimum term, you won’t be responsible for any remaining part of your monthly billing cycle. Otherwise, all terminations by you during a monthly billing cycle become effective on the last day of that billing cycle. You’ll remain responsible for all fees and charges incurred until then and won’t be entitled to any partial month credits or refunds. If you decide to restart service after termination you will be charged a reactivation fee of $250.
Our Rights to Make
Changes. Your service is subject to our policies, practices and
procedures, which we can change without notice. UNLESS OTHERWISE
PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN ALSO CHANGE PRICES AND ANY OTHER CONDITIONS
IN THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME BY SENDING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE PRIOR TO
THE BILLING PERIOD IN WHICH THE CHANGES WOULD GO INTO EFFECT. IF YOU
CHOOSE TO USE OUR SERVICE AFTER THAT POINT, YOU’RE ACCEPTING THE
CHANGES. IF THE CHANGES HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOU,
HOWEVER, YOU CAN END THE AFFECTED SERVICE, WITHOUT ANY TERMINATION
FEE, JUST BY CALLING US WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER WE SEND NOTICE OF THE
CHANGE. Your statement or bill is our notice to you of your fees,
charges and other important information. You should read everything
in your statement. We may charge a fee for statement reprints.
Payments, Deposits,
Credit Cards, and Checks. ∞ Payment is due in full as stated on
your statement. IF WE DON’T RECEIVE PAYMENT IN FULL WHEN DUE, WE
MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF THE BILLING
ADDRESS WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU AT THE TIME, CHARGE YOU A LATE FEE OF
UP TO 1.5 PERCENT A MONTH (18 PERCENT ANNUALLY), OR A FLAT $5 A
MONTH, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, ON UNPAID BALANCES. WE MAY ALSO CHARGE
FOR ANY COLLECTION AGENCY FEES BILLED TO US FOR TRYING TO COLLECT
FROM YOU. We may require an advance deposit (or an increased
deposit) from you. We’ll pay simple interest on any deposit at the
rate the law requires. Please retain your evidence of deposit. You
agree that we can apply deposits, payments, or prepayments in any
order to any amounts you owe us on any account. You can’t use a
deposit to pay any bill unless we agree. We can refund final credit
balances of less than $1 only upon request. We won’t honor
limiting notations you make on or with your checks. We may charge
you up to $25 for any returned check, depending on applicable law.
Our Rights to Limit
or End Service or this Agreement. You agree not to resell or
assign our service to someone else without our prior written
permission. You also agree the products or services we provide won’t
be used by any person not enrolled in a sound and/or nutritional
program with Your Health Your Choice (or any of its affiliate
organizations) or used for any other purpose that isn’t intended or
allowed by this agreement or that’s illegal. WE CAN, WITHOUT
NOTICE, LIMIT, SUSPEND, OR END YOUR SERVICE OR ANY AGREEMENT
WITH YOU FOR THIS OR ANY OTHER GOOD CAUSE, including, but not limited
to: (a) paying late more than once in any 12 months; (b) incurring
charges larger than a required deposit or billing limit (even if we
haven’t yet billed the charges); (c) harassing our employees or
agents; (d) lying to us; (e) interfering with our operations; (f)
becoming insolvent or going bankrupt; (g) breaching this agreement;
(h) “spamming,” or other abusive messaging or calling; (i)
modifying the sound technology, nutritional/homeopathic products
and/or accompanying programs from their intended purposes and/or
specifications; (j) providing credit information we can’t verify;
(k) using your service in a way that adversely affects our network or
other clients; or (l) allowing anyone to tamper with the sound
technology. We can also temporarily limit your service for any
operational or governmental reason.
Your Privacy. ∞ Except as provided in this agreement, we won’t intentionally share personal information about you without your permission. We may use and share information about you: (a) so we can provide products or services; (b) so others can provide goods and services to us, on your behalf; (c) for research and/or educational purposes; (d) to protect ourselves; or (e) as required by law, legal process, or exigent circumstances. In addition, you’ve authorized us to investigate your credit history at any time and share credit information about you with credit reporting agencies. If you ask, we’ll tell you the name and address of any credit agency that gives us a credit report about you. For training or quality assurance, we may also monitor or record our calls or other communications with you.
Disclaimer of
Warranties. ∞ WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS,
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICE OR PRODUCTS. WE CAN’T PROMISE
UNINTERUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE AND DON’T AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO
MAKE ANY WARRANTIES ON OUR BEHALF. THIS DOESN’T DEPRIVE YOU OF ANY
WARRANTY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST ANONE ELSE. You recognize that
it is impossible to maintain flawless security. You are responsible
for protecting your private passwords and files. You are solely
responsible for any damage caused by unauthorized access of your
account. We cannot and do not screen content provided by any
Internet users. We have the right, but not the obligation, to remove
or block access over the Internet to any communications and materials
that we believe violate our policies, or any laws of any jurisdiction
we serve.
Waivers and
Limitations of Liability. ∞ UNLESS THE LAW FORBIDS IT IN ANY
PARTICULAR CASE, WE EACH AGREE TO LIMIT CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES OR OTHER
MONETARY RELIEF AGAINST EACH OTHER TO DIRECT DAMAGES. THIS
LIMITATION AND WAIVER WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF
LIABILITY, WHETHER FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, BREACH OF CONTRACT,
PERSONAL INJURY, PRODUCTS LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. THIS MEANS
THAT NEITHER OF US WILL SEEK ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
TREBLE, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES FROM THE OTHER. You agree we aren’t
liable for problems caused by you or a third party; by crashes and/or
downtime of Internet servers, equipment and telecommunication links.
We cannot warrant that we shall maintain a continuous and
uninterrupted link; by things we don’t control; or by any act of
God.
Confidentiality,
Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition. ∞ You understand that
information shared with you through our Web site on the Internet,
telecommunication or in person, or provided to you through sound
technology, or nutritional/homeopathic protocols necessary for you to
use, sell, or promote our services and/or products and/or programs
constitutes Proprietary Information, whether marked or unmarked as
such. You understand the need for confidentiality and agree to the
following: (a) You shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to
anyone, including family and friends, except those who agree to these
terms as well; (b) You understand that all data, including client
information, collected, submitted, transmitted, submitted, delivered
or stored on any of the servers or storage facilities of Your Health
Your Choice (or any of its affiliate organizations) and in the sound
technology are to be termed as Intellectual Property. You recognize
that you do not acquire Intellectual Property rights under this
agreement and are limited to its use; (c) You shall not copy any
Proprietary Information including Intellectual Property without our
express written consent. You shall not import or export this
Proprietary Information including Intellectual Property, nor do you
claim ownership of any information shared verbally or in written or
structural form; (d) You agree to a non-competitive use of this
Information and Property, directly or through a third party.
Dispute Resolution
through Mediation and Mandatory Arbitration. ∞ WE EACH AGREE TO
SETTLE DISPUTES, FIRST THROUGH MEDIATION, THEN ONLY BY ARBITRATION.
THERE’S NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND REVIEW IS LIMITED, BUT
AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR
THE SAME LIMITATIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS A COURT WOULD. IF AN
APPLICABLE STATUTE PROVIDES FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEY’S FEES, AN
ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THEM, TOO. WE ALSO EACH AGREE, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THAT: THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT
APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT FOR SERVICE OR
ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREMENT OR SUCH A PRIOR AGREEMENT, OR ANY ADVERTISING FOR SUCH
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, WILL BE SETTLED BY ONE OR MORE NEUTRAL
ARBITRATORS BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”).
EACH OF US MAY BE REQUIRED TO EXCHANGE RELEVANT EVIDENCE IN ADVANCE. THIS AGREEMENT DOESN’T PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THOSE
PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. IN AGREEING TO ARBITRATE ON AN
INDIVIDUAL BASIS, YOU ALSO AGREE TO FIRST MEDIATE. MEDIATION IS A
PROCESS FOR MUTUALLY RESOLVING DISPUTES. A MEDIATOR CAN HELP PARTIES
REACH AGREEMENT, BUT DOESN’T DECIDE THEIR ISSUES. THAT PERSON WILL
HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS OF A MEDIATOR. NOTHING SAID IN
THE MEDIATION CAN BE USED IN A LATER ARBITRATION OR LAWSUIT. ANY
ARBITRATION AWARD MADE AFTER COMPLETION OF ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND
BINDING AND MAY BE CONFIRMED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
AN AWARD AND ANY JUDGMENT CONFIRMING IT ONLY APPLIES TO THE
ARBITRATION IN WHICH IT WAS AWARDED AND CAN’T BE USED IN ANY OTHER
CASE EXCEPT TO ENFORCE THE AWARD ITSELF. IF FOR SOME REASON THESE
ARBITRATION REQUIREMENTS DON’T APPLY, OR A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN SMALL
CLAIMS COURT, WE EACH WAIVE ANY TRIAL BY JURY.
About You. ∞ You

capacity to accept this agreement.

You can’t assign this agreement or any of your rights or duties under it. We may assign all or part of this agreement or your debts to us without notice, and you agree to make all subsequent payments as instructed.

If any part of this agreement, including any part of its arbitration provisions, is held invalid, that part may be severed from this agreement.
