PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL DOCUMENT
CAREFULLY.  TreVita, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“TreVita”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides medical
tourism facilitation for persons seeking bariatric procedures in Latin America,
related non-medical health and wellness services, and bariatric supplements
through the TreVita website (www.trevita.com)
and other affiliated sites (collectively, the “TreVita Sites”), through mobile,
desktop, or device applications (including iOS and Android applications (the “App”
or “TreVita App”)) and through TreVita-controlled social media pages (including
on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter).
To make these Terms of Service (“Terms”) easier to read, the TreVita
Sites, Apps, TreVita-controlled social media pages, and supplements are
collectively called the “TreVita Service” or “the Services”. By registering for
one of TreVita’s services or by visiting, browsing, or using the Trevita
Service in any way, you (as a “user”) accept and agree to be bound by these
Terms, which forms a binding agreement between you and TreVita.

 

PLEASE READ: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A
BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION
20
). READ CAREFULLY, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT, IF APPLICABLE, TO OPT OUT OF
ARBITRATION. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 20
BELOW, OR WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS YOU EXPRESSLY
AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND TREVITA WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING,
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-
WIDE
ARBITRATION.

 

If
you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, you may not access or use the TreVita
Service. Certain elements of the TreVita Service may be subject to additional
terms and conditions specified from time to time; your use of those elements of
the TreVita Service is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which
are incorporated into these Terms by this reference.

Termination. TreVita may, in TreVita’s sole
discretion, suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) or

Subscription or it is terminated for any reason, you will lose access to all
Content or features provided through the TreVita Service. TreVita, in its sole

governed by these Terms.

software, audio, video, works of authorship of any kind, and information or
other materials that are posted, generated, provided or otherwise made

Service. Content includes, without limitation, User Content.

b.
Any User Content, whether publicly posted or
privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated
such User Content. You represent that all User Content submitted by or on

to you or any other party resulting therefrom. To the full extent permitted by
law, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to any
Content that you access on or through the TreVita Service.

c.
As between you and TreVita, you represent that
you own (or have all rights necessary to grant TreVita the rights below to) all
User Content that you submit to the TreVita Service, and that TreVita will not
need to obtain licenses from any third party or pay royalties to any third
party in order to use such User Content. You grant TreVita a worldwide,
perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers),
transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, transmit, distribute,
publicly perform and display (through all media now known or later created),
edit, modify, and make derivative works from your User Content (including,
without limitation, translations) for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or
otherwise, without compensation to you. In addition, you waive any so-called
“moral rights” or rights of privacy or publicity in your User Content. You
further grant all users of the TreVita Service permission to view your User
Content for their personal, non-commercial purposes. If you make suggestions to
TreVita or through the TreVita Service about improving or adding new features
or products to the TreVita Service or you otherwise provide feedback, product
or service reviews or testimonials, you hereby grant to TreVita a worldwide,
perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers),
transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, modify, create
derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit your suggestions, feedback,
reviews and testimonials for any purpose (including for marketing), without any
notice, compensation or other obligation to you.

d.
You can remove your User Content by
specifically deleting it. However, in certain instances, some of your User
Content (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed and
copies of your User Content may continue to exist on the TreVita Service. We
are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to
remove or delete) any of your User Content.

control and to run such copy of the App solely for your own personal
non-commercial purposes. You may not copy the App, except for making a

investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual
property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.


vi.
The App Provider and its affiliates are
third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license to the App,
and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, the App Provider will have the

related to your license of the App against you as a third-party beneficiary
thereof.

18.
Not Healthcare Advice

a.
TreVita Service is not intended to provide medical
advice, diagnosis or treatment. The products, information, services and other
content provided on and through the Services, including information that may be
provided on the Services directly or via linking to third-party sites by a
healthcare or nutrition professional, are provided for informational and
entertainment purposes only. Please consult with your physician or other
healthcare professional (collectively, “Healthcare Professional”)
regarding any medical or health-related diagnosis or treatment options. You
should not rely on the TreVita Service as a substitute for, nor does it
replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Do not
disregard, avoid or delay obtaining medical or health related advice from your
Healthcare Professional because of something you may have read on the TreVita
Site or heard on or in connection with the TreVita Service.

b.
Nothing
stated or posted on the TreVita Site or available through any TreVita Service
is intended to be, and must not be taken to be, the practice of medicine or
counseling care. For purposes of these Terms, the practice of medicine and
counseling includes, without limitation, psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy,
or providing health care treatment, instructions, diagnosis, prognosis or
advice. The TreVita Service is continually under development and, to the full
extent permitted by law, TreVita makes no warranty of any kind, implied or
express, as to its accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness for any purpose.
In that regard, developments in medical research may impact the health, fitness
and nutritional advice that appears here. No assurance can be given that the
advice contained in the TreVita Service will always include the most recent
findings or developments with respect to the particular material.

c.
The products and the claims made about
specific products on or through the TreVita Services have not been evaluated by
the United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. The information provided on the
Services is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute
for advice from your physician or other Healthcare Professional or any
information contained on or in any product label or packaging. You should not
use the information on this site for diagnosis or treatment of any health
problem or for prescription of any medication or other treatment. You should
consult with a Healthcare Professional before starting any diet, exercise or
supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you have or
suspect you might have a health problem.

d.
None of the TreVita Services are not intended
to provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The products, information,
services and other content provided on and through any of the Services,
including information that may be provided on any of the Services directly or
via linking to third-party sites by a healthcare or nutrition professional, are
provided for informational purposes only. Please consult with your Healthcare Professional
regarding any medical or health-related diagnosis or treatment options. The
information provided on any of the Services, including information relating to
medical and health conditions, products and treatments, is often provided in
summary or aggregate form. Again, it is not intended as a substitute for advice
from your Healthcare Professional, or any information contained on or in any
product label or packaging.

e.
You should not use the information or services
on any of the TreVita Services for diagnosis or treatment of any health issue
or for prescription of any medication or other treatment. You should always
consult with your Healthcare Professional, and carefully read all information
provided by the manufacturer of a product and on or in any product label or
packaging, before using any medication or nutritional, herbal or homeopathic
product, before starting any diet or exercise program or before adopting any

20.
ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT & CLASS ACTION
WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
APPLICABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

a.
Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each
agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to
these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity
thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will
be resolved solely by binding,
individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated
action or proceeding
. You and TreVita agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration
Act (or equivalent laws in the State of California) governs the interpretation
and enforcement of these Terms and that you and TreVita are each waiving the
right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration
provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

b.
Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions
to Section 21(a) above:


i.
you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small
claims court if it qualifies; and


ii.
we each retain the right to seek injunctive or
other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or
misappropriation of our respective intellectual property rights.

c.
Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification.
You agree that before initiating any Dispute or arbitration proceeding, we will
attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any dispute. To begin this
process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you must send a Notice
of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of TreVita’s Legal
Department at the TreVita address set out in Section
24
below. In the Notice, you must
describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief you are seeking. If
we are unable to resolve the Dispute within 45 days after TreVita’s receipt of
the Notice, then you or TreVita may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out
below.

d.
Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules.
Any arbitration will be conducted by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined
Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect, except as
modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by
calling 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. JAMS provides a form Demand for Arbitration at
www.jamsadr.com. JAMS will appoint an arbitrator that is either


i.
a retired federal or state court judge, or


ii.
an attorney who has been licensed to practice
law in the State of California for at least 10 years. The arbitration will be
conducted by an in-person hearing, unless we both agree otherwise.

e.
If JAMS fails or declines to conduct the
arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration
administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration
administrator.

f.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in San
Diego, California, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties
agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues
relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this
arbitration agreement. During the arbitration, both you and TreVita may take
one deposition of the opposing party, limited to 4 hours. If we cannot agree on
a time and location for a deposition, the arbitrator will resolve any
scheduling disputes.

g.
Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing,
administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.

h.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND TREVITA AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE
OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN
ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING
. Further, if the parties’
dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may
not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside
over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this
specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 20 shall be null and void.

i.
Effect of Changes on Arbitration.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25
“Modification”
, if TreVita changes
any of the terms of this Section 20 after
the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to
these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice
within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the
“Last Updated” date above. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you
will arbitrate any Dispute between you and TreVita in accordance with the terms
of this Section 20 as of the date you
first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

j.
Severability. With the exception of any of the
provisions in Section 20(h) above, if an
arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these
Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still
apply.

party’s reasonable control and not caused by that party’s fault, or negligence,
including, but not limited to, “acts of God”, acts of government, flood, fire,
civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems, computer attacks
or malicious acts, such as attacks on or through the internet, any internet
service provider, telecommunications or hosting facility, but in each case,
only if and to the extent that the non-performing Party is without fault in
causing such failure or delay, and the failure or delay could not have been
prevented by reasonable precautions and measures and cannot reasonably be
circumvented by the non-conforming Party through the use of alternate sources,
workaround plans, disaster recovery, business continuity measures or other
means. Dates by which performance obligations are scheduled to be met will be
extended for a period of time equal to the time lost due to any delay so
caused.
