5. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER
State is a provider of online and mobile breathing exercise content. We are not a health care or medical device provider, nor should our Products be considered medical advice or a substitute thereof. All content found on State Products or website, including, but not limited to: text, images, audio, or other formats were created for informational purposes only. Product content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Only your physician(s) or other health care provider can provide medical advice. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on State Products or website. If you think you may have a medical emergency call 911 immediately. As with any type of exercise, if at any point during the exercises you feel faint, dizzy or have discomfort, you should stop immediately. Never look at your phone, use the App or perform these exercises while driving, operating machinery or equipment or while in water of any kind.
Any advice or other materials in the Products are intended for general information purposes only. They are not intended to be relied upon and are not a substitute for professional medical advice based on your individual condition and circumstances. The advice and other materials we make available are intended to support the relationship between you and your healthcare providers and will not replace it. State is not liable or responsible for any consequences resulting from you having read or been told about such advice or other materials and you understand and acknowledge that you will assume full responsibility for your decisions and actions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability for any purpose of the advice, other materials and information published as part of the Products. Any health information and links on State Products, whether provided by State or by contract from third party providers, is provided simply for your convenience.

By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that you are voluntarily choosing to perform the exercises in the App and expressly agree to accept and assume all risk of loss, injury, death or damages that may occur as a result of performing the exercises used in the App.
6. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against State on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”). This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against State, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against State by someone else.
6.1 AGREEMENT TO BINDING ARBITRATION BETWEEN YOU AND STATE
You and State agree that any dispute, claim or controversy between You and State (each a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) shall be settled or resolved by binding arbitration solely between you and State, and not in a court of law. Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Products at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where you allege claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring in connection with your use of the Products, you may elect to bring those claims in a court of competent jurisdiction instead of arbitration. State does not waive the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement as to any other provision, controversy, claim or dispute.
You acknowledge and agree that you and State are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and State otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and State each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
6.2 RULES AND GOVERNING LAW
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org 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 arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA"), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of California.
6.3 LOCATION
Unless you and State agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between the State and you will take place in New York County, New York.
6.4 ARBITRATOR’S DECISION
The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. 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. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. State will not seek, and hereby waives all rights State may have under applicable law to recover attorneys' fees and expenses if State prevails in arbitration.
6.5 FEES
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
6.6 SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) 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 (3) 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.

You agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law.
