WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ANY SUPPORT SERVICES, WILL BE EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE, AND ACCURATE OR MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW AND SAVE FOR THE RIGHTS GRANTED TO CONSUMERS UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, SOMALOGIC WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM PERSONAL INJURY/WRONGFUL DEATH) ARISING WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF SOMALOGIC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO DAMAGES ARISING FROM (i) USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, (ii) COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES, (iii) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS BY THIRD PARTIES, (iv) THIRD-PARTY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE PLATFORM, OR (v) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE PLATFORM.
In addition, when using the Platform, information will be transmitted over a medium which is beyond the control and jurisdiction of SomaLogic or its partners, advertisers, and sponsors or any other third party mentioned on the Platform. Accordingly, SomaLogic assumes no liability for or relating to the delay, failure, interruption, or corruption of any data or other information transmitted in connection with use of the Platform.
11. Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate
Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, by using the Platform, you and SomaLogic agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Platform or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the Receiving Party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:
• Us, at [email protected] or
• You, at any business or email address we have on file for you.
Both you and SomaLogic agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable.
12. Choice of Law and Choice of Forum
These Terms have been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. Any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above shall be resolved by a court located in Denver, Colorado and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.
13. Modification and Termination
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do so, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. You will be notified of any material changes to these Terms via a posting on the Platform and, in some cases, via email at an email address we have on file for you. If you object to any changes, you may close your account or discontinue use of the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these Terms means that you are consenting to the updated Terms.
We shall have the right to immediately terminate these Terms with respect to any user which we, in our sole discretion, consider to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of these Terms.
