However, Thera-LINK makes no guarantees any subsequent version of an application will work on a User’s mobile phone or devices. Thera-LINK is expressly not liable for any loss incurred due to a User’s inability to use Services due to the inability to use an updated version of a mobile application on their specific mobile device.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, and to that extent the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. California residents hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, stating, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine. Thera-LINK, its suppliers, and distributors, shall not be liable for any loss or damage which is not reasonably foreseeable.

Arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims between Users and Company alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, and without waiving either party’s right of appeal, if any portion of this “Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions” provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Provision (other than this sentence) shall sever and continue.
- Users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Thera-LINK and the Company Parties, from and against all: claims; injuries; damages; obligations; losses; lawsuits; attorneys’ fees; legal fees or filing fees from any and all claims or demands made by any party related to Users’ use of Services; violations of these Terms, goods and services purchased; or misuse of User accounts.

- Both parties agree these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement and the mutual understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and these Terms supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of these Terms. Any waivers or amendments shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by an agent of the respective parties authorized to bind the parties.
- Thera-LINK’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any privilege, any power or any rights hereunder will not operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of any other right hereunder. If any provision of these Terms shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
- Termination and Survival. If a User breaches these Terms, or any part of these Terms, in any way, then Company may take action up to, and including, suspending the User’s access to Services or the Website.
