Use of the Service
Service Description: We are a technology company that makes available to individuals who register as users of the Platform (“Users”) a comprehensive, personalized, and human approach to healthcare by collecting and aggregating your information across health information exchanges, providers, laboratories, and devices to offer you personalized recommendations, treatment and care by third-party medical providers. Our Service provides you with a means of connecting to one or more medical groups who provide healthcare services through the Platform (the “Medical Groups”). These Medical Groups employ or contract with physicians and allied health professionals who offer certain healthcare services through the Platform (“Providers”). By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that any services you receive from the Medical Groups or Providers through the Platform are also subject to these Terms of Service, and that the Medical Groups and Providers are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Service.
With respect to the Medical Groups and the Providers, we act solely as a technology platform to connect you with the services offered by the Medical Groups and Providers through the Service. We do not control or influence the practice of medicine by the Medical Groups or any Providers, each of whom is solely responsible for the medical care and treatment he or she provides to you or any decisions that you do not qualify for such treatment or any of our products or services. SONATA makes no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the medical care and treatment provided by the Medical Groups or any Providers. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that SONATA is not a healthcare provider and that by using the Service, you are not entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with SONATA.
By accepting these Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Medical Group and/or Providers may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Service regarding your diagnosis and/or treatment. You further understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor and respond to these messages, reports, and emails and that neither SONATA nor the Medical Group nor any Provider will be responsible in any way, and you will not hold SONATA, Medical Group, or any Provider liable for any loss, injury, or claims of any kind resulting from your failure to read or respond to these messages or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations or instructions from the Medical Group or your Provider(s).
While you are not establishing a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with SONATA, by using the Service, you are establishing a direct customer relationship with SONATA to use the Platform. In connection with such a relationship, you may provide to us, or cause to be provided to us on your behalf, personal information, including health information, that is subject to use by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy (app.sonata.health/legal/privacy-policy), which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Protected Information
When you set up an account with SONATA, you are creating a direct customer relationship with SONATA that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to SONATA, including but not limited to your name, email and physical address and phone number, that we may collect, use and disclose in accordance with our Privacy Policy (app.sonata.health/legal/privacy-policy).
In using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. SONATA is a “business associate” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). One or more of the Medical Groups is a “covered entity” under HIPAA.
As a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, SONATA, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA (“PHI”), that you provide to the Medical Group. In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Privacy Policy (app.sonata.health/legal/privacy-policy). Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA.
By using the Service, you are agreeing that any information that you submit to SONATA that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy (app.sonata.health/legal/privacy-policy), and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. The processing, use and disclosure of PHI by SONATA will be governed by SONATA’s applicable Business Associate Agreement(s) with the Medical Groups. To learn more about how the Medical Groups process, use, or disclose PHI, please review their Notice of Privacy Practices (app.sonata.health/legal/npp).
Fees and Payment
Fees: To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you may be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to SONATA that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with SONATA or the Payment Processor (as defined below), as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay SONATA the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service. If your payment plan includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you hereby authorize SONATA (through the Payment Processor) to bill your payment instrument in advance on such periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must let SONATA know within sixty (60) days after the date that SONATA charges you, or within such longer period of time as may be required under applicable Law. We reserve the right to change SONATA’s prices. If SONATA does change prices, SONATA will provide notice of the change through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at SONATA’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on SONATA’s net income.
Payment Processing: Notwithstanding any amounts owed to SONATA hereunder, SONATA DOES NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY SERVICES. To facilitate payment for the Service via bank account, credit card, or debit card, we use Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”), a third-party payment processor (collectively, “Payment Processors”). These payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe terms and conditions and other policies available at https://stripe.com/legal and Stripe’s Global Privacy Policy available at: https://stripe.com/privacy (collectively, the “Stripe Agreements”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service, users that use the payment functions of the Service also agree to be bound by the Stripe Agreements, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. You hereby authorize Stripe to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Service. Please contact Stripe for more information. SONATA assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Service.
Refunds and Cancellations: Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by SONATA. You may cancel your subscription online by emailing us at: concierge@sonata.health using the form cancellation email available at app.sonata.health.
Notice Regarding Your Financial Responsibility for Services: SONATA and the Medical Groups are not enrolled with, and are not participating providers with any federal state healthcare program (e.g., Medicare or Medicaid) or commercial health plans for the provision of any health care services or supplies. You are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you through the Service. You are free to submit a claim with your health plan for reimbursement for out-of-network services, and SONATA may assist you with obtaining any prior authorizations that may be required by your health plan for such reimbursement.

Communications Features and Services
Chatbot and AI Technology: The Services contain or integrate with advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems and similar technology and features (collectively, “AI Technology”), which may be proprietary to SONATA or to our third party service providers, including the option to query and receive responses from (to “chat” with) a computer program to assist in providing personalized feedback on health data questions and educational information, that simulates and processes written human conversation within the Platform, (the “Chatbot”). The AI Technology (including the Chatbot) may allow you to submit queries and other prompts, in response to which the AI Technology may generate and return text, images, video or other content. We refer to the text you input, and any other images, video or other content you include as part of your queries or other prompts into the Chatbot or other AI Technologies as your “Inputs.” We refer to the results returned by the Chatbot or other AI Technologies in response to your Inputs as “Outputs.”
You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the other limitations and restrictions set forth in these Terms of Service:
- AI Technology are based on predefined rules and algorithms that lack the ability to think creatively and come up with new ideas and can result in repetitive or formulaic content.
- AI Technology can struggle with understanding the nuances of language, including slang, idioms, and cultural references, which can result in Outputs that are out of context or do not make sense. AI Technology do not have emotions and cannot understand or convey emotions in the way humans can, which can result in Outputs that lack the empathy and emotion that humans are able to convey.
- AI Technology can perpetuate biases that are present in the data used to train them, which can result in Outputs that are discriminatory or offensive.
- AI Technology can struggle with complex tasks that require reasoning, judgment and decision-making. AI Technology require large amounts of data to train and generate content, and the data used to train AI Technology may be of poor quality or biased, which will negatively impact the accuracy and quality of the generated Outputs.
- Outputs can lack the personal touch that comes with content created by humans, which can make them seem cold and impersonal.
- AI Technology may make errors or provide Outputs that are outdated, incomplete, inaccurate, or contain misleading information. We are not responsible for such errors or outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate Outputs, and we bear no liability to you or anyone else arising from or relating to your use of the AI Technology and/or the Outputs.
- The Chatbot may say something which is factually erroneous, or offensive, for which we apologize in advance (and which do NOT represent our views) but for which you agree SONATA is not responsible. You understand and agree that Outputs are not created by any employee of SONATA, do not reflect the views of SONATA, and are generated without direct human review or oversight.
Your Responsibility: You will use discretion and independent judgment before relying on, sharing or otherwise using the Outputs. You agree that you are responsible for evaluating, and bearing all risks associated with, the use of any Outputs, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any such Outputs. You acknowledge and agree that you will not rely entirely on Outputs produced by the Chatbot or AI Technology for making automated decisions without human review. You understand and agree that SONATA is not responsible for the recommendations made by the Chatbot and you further agree that you are solely responsible for verifying the relevance and accuracy of any advice or suggestions provided by the Chatbot or any other part of the Service before relying on them.
Rights to Input and Output: As between you and SONATA, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership in the Inputs and (b) own the Outputs. You acknowledge and agree that, due to the nature of the Chatbot and the AI Technology generally, the Outputs generated for you by the Chatbot may not necessarily be unique from outputs generated for other users of the Chatbot. You do not gain any rights whatsoever in the Chatbot. All rights in it belong either to us or to those entities from whom we have licensed the technology. We can cease providing the Chatbot at any time without notice.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE CHATBOT IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, IS DEEMED PART OF THE SERVICE AND, IN ADDITION, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE THAT ANY USE OF OUTPUTS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE OUTPUTS AS A SOLE AUTHORITATIVE OR VALID SOURCE OF FACTUAL INFORMATION, AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR OWN RESEARCH OR INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT, OR AS MEDICAL ADVICE.
Telehealth Services Consent and Open Payments Notice: Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. While the provision of health care services using telehealth may offer certain potential benefits, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. The telehealth services are not a substitute for in-person health care in all cases. In order to use the telehealth services included in the Service, you will be required to review and agree to an informed consent regarding the use of telehealth (the “Telehealth Consent”) that will be provided to you by the Medical Groups and Providers through the Platform. You agree that SONATA is a third-party beneficiary of the Telehealth Consent and has the right to enforce it against you, and you acknowledge and consent that telehealth calls may be recorded and transcribed, and that such transcriptions will be retained as part of your health record in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.
In some cases, the Service may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with or seek medical care and treatment from a healthcare provider. For example, certain medical conditions may require an in-person procedure or a healthcare provider other than your Provider, or your Provider may determine that your diagnosis and/or treatment requires an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of the Service. In such a case, you may receive notification stating that you will be unable to use the Service for the particular issue you submitted and providing additional information regarding next steps.
ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER BEFORE DECIDING TO START, ALTER, OR DISCONTINUE ANY COURSE OF CLINICAL TREATMENT OR THERAPY, OR FOR ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR MEDICAL CONDITION, YOUR DIET, OR THE USE (OR FREQUENCY) OF ANY MEDICATION OR MEDICAL DEVICE. DO NOT USE THE SERVICE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSULTING WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, AND DO NOT DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF ANY INFORMATION RECEIVED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SERVICE.

You may be required to respond to an initial call or message as instructed to complete your registration and confirm enrollment to receive such calls, texts or other telephonic communications. You do not have to consent to receive calls or text messages from SONATA or SONATA Affiliates or their partners for marketing or solicitation purposes to purchase SONATA’s products or services.

Copyright Complaints: SONATA respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify SONATA of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
SONATA will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property Laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to SONATA’s Copyright Agent at concierge@sonata.health (Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Request”).
To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:
- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest that is allegedly infringed;
- identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works or other intellectual property are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works or other intellectual property;
- identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and where the content that you claim is infringing is located on the Service, with enough detail that we may find it on the Service;
- your address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the Law; and
- a statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of the copyright or intellectual property that is allegedly infringed.
Counter-Notice: If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the Law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content to be removed or disabled; and
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the Southern District of New York and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, SONATA will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing them that SONATA may replace the removed content or cease disabling it within ten (10) business days. Unless the owner of the applicable copyrighted work or other intellectual property files an action seeking a court order against SONATA or the user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable Law, SONATA has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at SONATA’s sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. SONATA may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Individual Arbitration & Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Arbitration Agreement
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You and SONATA agree that, subject to limited exceptions specified in this Arbitration Agreement, any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you, on the one hand, and SONATA, on the other hand, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms of Service), the Service, this Arbitration Agreement, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, whether such disputes or claims arose before, on, or subsequent to you entering these Terms of Service, (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. However, you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Each party also retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. By entering into these Terms of Service, you and SONATA each agree that an arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including relating to whether these Terms of Service are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. The rules and procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SONATA AGREE IN WRITING OR UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND SONATA MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AGGREGATE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION, ARBITRATION, OR PROCEEDING.
YOU AND SONATA AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AGGREGATE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SONATA AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). IF THE FOREGOING PROHIBITION ON CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, NON-INDIVIDUALIZED RELIEF, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID, AND YOU AND SONATA SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO HAVE AGREED TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES.
This Arbitration Agreement shall survive any termination of the Terms of Service.
Opt-Out Procedures
You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending SONATA a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms of Service by email at concierge@sonata.health. If you opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with SONATA.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
SONATA is interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently without the need for a formal legal dispute. In the event of a Dispute and before filing any claim against the other, you and SONATA each agree to send the other party a written notice of Dispute stating (i) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (ii) the specific relief sought; and (iii) the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice (“Notice of Dispute”). You must send any Notice of Dispute by email at concierge@sonata.health. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email address or mailing address we have for you, if any. You and SONATA agree to attempt to resolve any Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Dispute is received. After the end of that sixty (60) day period and not before, you or SONATA may commence a confidential individual arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or SONATA will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or SONATA is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS rules and procedures, including any supplementary rules and fee schedules then in effect (“JAMS Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/ or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267.
A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to JAMS and give notice to the other party as specified in the JAMS Rules. You can contact JAMS for more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. Unless you and SONATA agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties (including by remote or telephonic means) with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by JAMS. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
It is the intent of the parties that the JAMS Rules and the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the JAMS Rules and the FAA are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of New York, without regard to its choice or conflict of law provisions. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the JAMS Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Mass Arbitration
In the event that 20 or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration, the following additional terms in this paragraph shall apply and the parties shall be deemed to have agreed to the application of JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines available at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. JAMS shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in 20 batches, with the discretion to create additional batches if JAMS finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each side as set forth in JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule. You agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this batch approach to facilitate the efficient resolution of claims. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitrations of any kind. SONATA reserves all rights and defenses as to each and any demand and claimant. If any court or arbitrator determines that this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, or that an arbitration can proceed on a mass arbitration basis without the application of this paragraph, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and SONATA shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the JAMS Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid, unenforceable, or void, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, SONATA agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to our notice address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending SONATA written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” above, or by not accessing or using the Services. The written notice must be provided by email at concierge@sonata.health. To be effective, your notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and SONATA in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
Termination
You agree that SONATA, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including for lack of use or if SONATA believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. SONATA may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that SONATA may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that SONATA and SONATA Affiliates will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
User Disputes
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service, and SONATA and SONATA Affiliates will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. SONATA reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
Contractual Limitation on Disputes
Except where otherwise prohibited by law, you and SONATA agree that any Dispute, claim, or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be commenced within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
General
These Terms of Service (together with the terms incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and SONATA governing your access and use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and SONATA with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Third-Party Services, third-party content, or third-party software. The failure of SONATA to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Except as otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement, if any provision of these Terms of Service, or a portion thereof, is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should sever the invalid provision or portion and endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision or portion, and the remainder of these Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect.
A printed version of these Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of SONATA, but SONATA may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction.
The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
SONATA will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond SONATA’s reasonable control.
Governing Law and Venue
These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and SONATA submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Kings County, New York.
