SEPH NESS AND ITS RESPECTIVE OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, VENDORS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS (COLLECTIVELY, “SEPH NESS AND ITS AFFILIATED PARTIES”), EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6. SERVICE USAGE; TERMINATION OF USAGE
You agree to use the Seph Ness Services only for lawful purposes and that you are solely responsible for your use of the Seph Ness Services.
You further agree that you will not access the Seph Ness Services by any means except through the interface provided, or designed, by Seph Ness.
If you provide any information that is false or inaccurate, or Seph Ness has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is false or inaccurate, Seph Ness has the right to prohibit any use of the Seph Ness Services by you.
You agree that you are not accessing the Seph Ness Services from any territory where it is illegal to do so. If you reside outside the United States and use the Seph Ness Services, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all laws.
This Agreement may be terminated by Seph Ness at any time. You also agree that Seph Ness may terminate or suspend your access to the Seph Ness Services, without notice, for any conduct that Seph Ness, in its sole discretion, believes violates this Agreement, violates any law or is harmful to the interests of another user or Seph Ness and its Affiliated Parties. You may terminate this Agreement at any time, provided that you discontinue any further use of the Seph Ness Services and destroy any downloaded materials.
Seph Ness reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Seph Ness Services (or any part thereof), with or without notice. Except as otherwise expressly stated in these terms of service, you agree that Seph Ness and its Affiliated Parties shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Seph Ness Services.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seph Ness and its Affiliated Parties against all liability, causes of action, damages and costs, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your use of the Seph Ness Services, your breach of this Agreement, your infringement or violation of any rights of another, or termination of your access to the Seph Ness Services.
8. APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Oklahoma, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
You agree that any claim or dispute relating to the Seph Ness Services or this Agreement that is not resolved under the arbitration requirements of this Agreement must be resolved exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction, federal or state, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and no other court. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and to accept service of process from them.
If there is an instance when you have a concern that needs special attention, Seph Ness is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. However, we can only do this if we know about it. Therefore, for any concern you may have with the Seph Ness Services, you agree to first send a written description of it to aftereffectsmassagetherapy@gmail.com so we have an opportunity to address it. You agree to work with Seph Ness in good faith to resolve the concern. We believe this should lead to resolution. However, if for some reason the concern is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after we receive your email, and all necessary information, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.
You agree that the sole and exclusive forum for any dispute and claim that cannot be resolved informally will be final and binding arbitration. However, if you have infringed or violated, in any manner, Seph Ness’s intellectual property rights, you acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that we may seek injunctive relief. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under the Agreement.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Seph Ness receives notice that you have commenced arbitration (and you have complied with the dispute resolution requirements in this Agreement), Seph Ness will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Seph Ness and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.
YOU AND SEPH NESS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Seph Ness agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
WE BOTH AGREE THAT, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND SEPH NESS BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.
In no event can any claim or action by you related to the Seph Ness Services be instituted more than one year after the cause of action arose.
9. MOBILE SERVICES
The following applies to users of the Seph Ness mobile application (“the App”). The use of the App requires use of a mobile device and wireless mobile data service, which must be obtained from your wireless carrier, and may require internet access, which must be obtained from your service provider. You are responsible for obtaining and paying for such additional services and obtaining a suitable device, including without limitation all usage charges related thereto. You may be required to send and receive, at your cost, electronic communications related to the App, including without limitation, administrative messages, service announcements, diagnostic data reports, and App updates, from Seph Ness, your mobile carrier or third-party service provider. If you do not have an unlimited wireless mobile data plan, you may incur additional charges from your wireless service provider in connection with your use of the App. You are solely responsible for obtaining any additional subscription or connectivity services or equipment necessary to access the App, including but not limited to payment of all third-party fees associated therewith, including fees for information sent to or through the App.

You may not export any of our mobile applications except in compliance with all applicable laws.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions shall not be affected.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Privacy Policy and any other policies incorporated herein, constitute the entire and only agreement between Waking Up and you. This Agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties and understandings, written or oral, regarding this Agreement or the Seph Ness Services.
No Waiver. The failure of Seph Ness and its Affiliated Parties to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such term and shall not be considered a waiver or limit that party’s right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
