TERMS OF USE

1.1 Application of Terms. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access or use, of the websites (the “Websites” as defined in Section 3 below), applications, content, products, and services, (the “Services,” as defined below in Section 3) by Masterclasses in Dermatology, LLC  and its parents, subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “MCD”). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY FORM A CONTRACTUAL AND LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND MCD. In these Terms, the words “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited to.”

1.2 Acceptance of Terms. By accessing or using the Services, you confirm your agreement to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. These Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you governing your use of the Services. MCD may immediately terminate these Terms or any Services with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Services or any portion thereof, at any time if you violate any of these Terms.

1.3 IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH MCD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

1.4 Amendment of Terms. MCD may amend the Terms from time to time by providing notice to you so long as you have registered for an account and have given us a valid email address. Alternatively, we will post a prominent notice on our web site. After notice has been provided to you, amendments will be effective upon the posting of such updated Terms in this form, on MCD’s Websites, or in the amended policies or supplemental terms on the applicable Service(s) platform (“Effective Date”). If you do not agree to be bound by any modification, then you must discontinue use of the Services. Your continued access or use of the Services after such posting confirms your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended. If MCD changes these Terms after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by providing MCD written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail or hand delivery to our registered agent for service of process, c/o Masterclasses in Dermatology, LLC, 58 Waverley Avenue, Newton, Massachusetts 02458, or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to: termsofuse@masterclassesindermatology.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to these Terms. By rejecting changes, you shall discontinue your use of the Services and access to the Websites, and your license and subscription to the Services shall automatically thereupon terminate.

1.5 Privacy Policy. MCD’s collection and use of personal information in connection with the Services is described in MCD’s Privacy Policy Notice located at here.

2. Arbitration Agreement

2.1 Notice of Arbitration Provision. By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against MCD on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against MCD, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against MCD by someone else.

2.2 Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and MCD. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this agreement or the breach thereof, the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute, claim, question, or disagreement. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. If they do not reach such solution within a period of 60 days, then, upon notice by either party to the other, all disputes, claims, questions, or differences shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules; provided however, that no arbitration shall resolve any disputes relating to issues of scope, infringement, validity and/or enforceability of any intellectual property rights.

Any dispute or claim arising from or relating in any way to these Terms, and your use of the Services and Websites, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award, on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must interpret and apply the terms of these Terms just as a court would. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to seek injunctive relief for infringement or other threatened or actual violation of intellectual property rights.

2.3 Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules if you are a consumer end user and with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules if you are a commercial user, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“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. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. These Terms shall be governed by, performed within, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding its choice of law provisions.

2.4 Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer (or commercial as the case may be)  dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

 2.5 Location and Procedure.  You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in Boston, Massachusetts, or at another mutually agreed location. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

2.6 Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. The prevailing party in arbitration may be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

2.7 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions in Sections 1.4 above, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if MCD changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change to this Arbitration Agreement by providing MCD written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail or hand delivery to, Masterclasses in Dermatology, LLC,  ATTN: LEGAL, 58 Waverley Avenue, Newton, Massachusetts 02458 or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to: termsofuse@masterclassesindermatology.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and MCD in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the later of either (i) the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms) or (ii) the date you agreed to any amendment to the Arbitration Agreement. Your failure to provide such effective notice of rejection within the 30-day period shall be deemed to be an acceptance by you of the change to the Arbitration Agreement.

2.8 Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.
