Last updated: July 20, 2023

Welcome to www.informdx.com (the “Website”). These Website Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are between you and Inform Diagnostics, Inc. (“Company” or “we” or “us”) concerning your use of and access to the Company’s Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms, so please read these Terms carefully before using the site. By using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms. The Website is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using the Website, you represent and warrant that you meet the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not accept these Terms of Use, please do not access or view the Website.

Our goal is to make your website experience simple and transparent. Because we offer diverse products and services, different terms may apply. These Terms apply only to your use of the Website. Additional terms and conditions may apply to your relationship with us, such as for example, if you are a user of certain online services that we offer, such as PathConnect and PathFlex. Terms and conditions relating to such online services supplement these Terms of Use. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Use and any online service-specific terms and conditions, the online service-specific terms conditions shall govern with respect to your access to and use of such online services. For additional terms that relate to our products and services, cookies, HIPAA, and privacy, see Additional Policies listed on the Website. For Terms that apply to QuickStart customers, please see https://www.informdx.com/clinician-resources/become-a-client-now/#terms.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL ACCESSING THIS WEBSITE ON BEHALF OF, OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF AN ORGANIZATION WITH WHICH YOU ARE ASSOCIATED, THEN YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND SUCH ORGANIZATION, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ORGANIZATION TO THESE TERMS. BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU ALSO AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

1. Scope of Terms. These terms apply to your use of this Website. We have other websites that may be covered by different terms of use.

2. Right to Make Changes. We may change these Terms from time to time for business reasons by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting revised Terms through the Website. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Terms incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes. Your use of the Website following any changes to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when these Terms were last changed.

3. Governing Law; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY) WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A COURT. YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. UNLESS BOTH SIDES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE IN ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDINGS.

The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, and the substantive laws of Texas govern these Terms—without regard to principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location.

Prior to initiating the arbitration, the initiating party will give written notice to the other party of its claim, and the parties will have 60 days to negotiate and attempt to resolve the dispute, after which time unresolved claims may proceed to arbitration.

The arbitration will be conducted in Dallas, Texas before one arbitrator. The parties will share the costs of arbitration equally with respect to JAMS fees; provided that each party will be solely responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an individual consumer, as defined by JAMS, then you will have the right to an in-person arbitration hearing in your hometown area, and we will be responsible for 100% costs and fees of the arbitration charged by JAMS (but each party will be solely responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs).

The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect. The arbitration shall be subject to streamlined or expedited procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal or state court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms. To the extent that the arbitrator deems reasonable, the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances. Arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English and in a manner that preserves confidentiality. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents and will be final and binding and may be entered thereafter by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not be empowered to award punitive damages to any party.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude us from seeking any injunctive relief or other provisional remedy in U.S. state or federal courts for protection of its intellectual property rights (including the rights of its licensors), and you agree to exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Dallas, Texas for such claims; and you waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
