Except that either party may seek an injunction or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, all disputes between the parties arising out of or in relation to or in connection with the Terms of Use will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") then in force, by one neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the rules with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes.

ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE WILL TAKE PLACE ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND ENDOQUEST ARE WAIVING ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor EndoQuest is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth below.
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: EndoQuest Robotics, Inc., Attn: Info, 9310 Kirby Drive, Suite 100, Houston, TX 77054, postmarked within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms' arbitration agreement.
If you send the opt-out notice, and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or EndoQuest to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and EndoQuest agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Houston, Texas.
If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with EndoQuest.
Use of the Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Terms of Use, including without limitation, this section.
EndoQuest makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and accessing the Service is prohibited from territories where doing so would be illegal.

If you have reason to believe that accessing the Service is prohibited in your territory, please do not use the Service.
If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. EndoQuest may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without EndoQuest's prior written consent.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms of Use, and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
