Disputes and Legal Information

Disputes: Any cause of action, claim, controversy, disagreement, or complaint (collectively “Dispute(s)”) between you and HCN, will be handled according to HCN’s Dispute Resolution Policy.

Dispute Resolution Policy: Mindful of the high costs of litigation, not only in dollars, but also in time and energy, the following out-of-court Dispute Resolution Policy will be followed in the event any Dispute should arise out of, or relating to these Terms, Website, Website Content, or any interactions between you and HCN:

All Disputes will be resolved by alternative dispute resolution procedures, including but not limited to, good faith negotiation, good faith mediation, and binding arbitration rather than seeking resolution through the applicable court system.

Use of arbitration (alternative dispute resolution) is used to resolve disputes without a jury trial and limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. You understand that by using the Website and Website Content, you are waiving certain legal rights and you voluntarily agree to waive those rights.

You and HCN shall make good faith attempts to resolve any Dispute(s) that arises under or relating to these Terms, Website, Website Content, or any interactions between you and HCN.

In the event you and HCN are unable to resolve a Dispute through good faith negotiations, you agree to participate in good faith mediation with a professional mediator who is mutually acceptable by all parties to the Dispute and who is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the parties are unable to agree on a professional mediator, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) shall appoint a mediator. Any mediation shall be conducted on a confidential basis in Marion County, Oregon. Each party shall bear its own individual costs in the mediation, and parties shall share equally the fees and expenses associated with the mediation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the mediator, in her/his sole discretion, may determine that the party against whom the decision is rendered shall pay the prevailing party’s costs and share of the mediator’s fees and expenses. You expressly agree that good faith participation in negotiation and mediation is a precondition to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedies, including arbitration.

In the event you and HCN are not able to resolve a Dispute through good faith negotiations or by participating in good faith mediation, any such Dispute shall be settled by BINDING ARBITRATION which shall be conducted on a confidential basis in Marion County, Oregon. Any arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or another arbitrator who is experienced in contract and business law, or other areas of law relevant to the Dispute, and is mutually agreeable to the parties and who is available at commercially reasonable rates. Arbitration of any Dispute shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and procedures of the AAA.
