16. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE
The Website, Services, and this Agreement, including without limitation this Agreement’s interpretation, shall be treated as though this Agreement were executed and performed in the State of Nevada and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to its conflict of law principles. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE INSTITUTED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER WAIVED AND BARRED. ALL ACTIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN ABOVE. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.
(a) BINDING ARBITRATION
If You and AHM cannot resolve a Claim through negotiations, either party may elect to have the Claim finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration in Clark County, Nevada, or such other venue as agreed by the parties. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT WITH A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced by the service of an arbitration demand by the claimant upon the other party to this agreement and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), available at the AAA website www.adr.org. After the arbitration demand is served, the parties shall mutually select an arbitrator, who is a licensed attorney whose practice is primarily located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the event the parties are unable to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the initiation of the arbitration, AHM shall have the right to select an arbitrator. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through document submission, through telephone, or online. The costs of the arbitration will be borne by both parties equally until the conclusion of the arbitration, at which time the arbitrator may grant a cost award in favor of the prevailing party. The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing but need only provide a statement of reasons if requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. AHM may litigate to compel arbitration in court, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. Should any party not timely pay their share of the arbitration fees after a 5-day notice of failure to pay and opportunity to cure, the non-paying party consents to the entry of an award and subsequent judgment in favor of party who has timely paid their share of the arbitration fees.
(b) RESTRICTIONS AGAINST JOINDER OF CLAIMS
You and AHM agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually. To the full extent under the law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration; (2) there is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures; and (3) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.
(c) REMEDIES IN AID OF ARBITRATION; EQUITABLE RELIEF
This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or AHM from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or AHM from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. As used herein, “Court of Competent Jurisdiction” means any federal or state court: (1) that has jurisdiction over the subject matter; and (2) that is located in the State of Nevada.
(d) LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
This Agreement, including without limitation this Agreement’s interpretation, shall be treated as though this Agreement were executed and performed in the State of Nevada and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to its conflict of law principles. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. THE PROPER VENUE FOR ANY JUDICIAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN OR NEAREST TO THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE TO, AND AGREE TO WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO, THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS, AND FURTHER EXPRESSLY SUBMIT TO, THE EXTRATERRITORIAL SERVICE OF PROCESS.
17. TERMINATION

19. GENERAL
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between AHM and You concerning Your use of the Website and Services. Duly executed agreements between AHM and You, including without limitation agreements pertaining to Patient releases and authorizations (collectively, “Additional Agreements”) are hereby incorporated and binding upon the parties to this Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is determined by an arbitrator retained pursuant to this Agreement, an arbitration panel, or a Court of law to conflict with any provision of an Additional Agreement, the Additional Agreement shall govern. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of AHM or by the unilateral amendment of this Agreement by AHM and by the posting by AHM of such amended version. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. This Agreement and all of Your rights and obligations hereunder will not be assignable or transferable by You without the prior written consent of AHM. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns. You and AHM are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Except for the AHM Parties and the Indemnified Parties as and to the extent set forth in Sections 9, 10, 14 and 16(e) and AHM’s licensors and suppliers and to the extent expressly set forth in Section 12, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third-party rights by You would cause irreparable injury to AHM and AHM’s licensors and suppliers and would therefore entitle AHM or AHM’s licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief. The headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not limit, enlarge, or affect any of the covenants, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement.
