Last Updated: 2021/05/24
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Yuzu Labs Public Benefit Corporation ("Yuzu Labs," "StudyPages," "we," or "us") and our websites at studypages.com and yuzulabs.com, along with our related websites, networks, applications, mobile applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the "Service"). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and StudyPages regarding your use of the Service.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY:
BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT," OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING STUDYPAGES' PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THESE "TERMS"). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND YUZU LABS' PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY YUZU LABS AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 18, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND YUZU LABS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See Section 18.)
StudyPages Service Overview. StudyPages is a Software-as-a-Service, web-based clinical research recruitment and engagement platform that boosts the ability of a clinical study team, health care provider, investigator, or researcher (each, a "Study Team") user of the Service to recruit online and manage patient enrollment in clinical studies. StudyPages' recruitment solutions leverage the StudyPages platform combined with consulting, strategy, advertising campaigns, and custom integration with existing software and applications to recruit and retain patients in trials. StudyPages also offers patient users of the Service the ability to identify clinical studies for which a patient user may be eligible based on a patient user's interests and/or medical and health background.
Not Medical Advice; No Endorsement.
2.1 The Service and all materials and content provided by Yuzu Labs are not medical advice, diagnosis, opinions, or treatment of any medical condition or health problem, or an endorsement, representation, or warranty that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Always consult a physician or other healthcare provider for medical care and advice. Your use of the Service does not create any express or implied medical relationship between you and Yuzu Labs. By using the Service, you expressly release Yuzu Labs from any and all liability arising from any interactions or communications with another user of the Service, including Study Team-patient relationships.
2.2 The inclusion of Study Teams on StudyPages does not imply Yuzu Labs's recommendation or endorsement of such Study Team nor is such information intended as a tool for verifying the credentials, qualifications, or abilities of any Study Team. While Yuzu Labs requires a Study Team to provide certain information to demonstrate the Study Team's qualifications, Yuzu Labs has not independently verified the credentials or qualifications of any Study Team using the StudyPages platform. YUZU LABS SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANYONE FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN BY ANY PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY USER) IN RELIANCE ON INFORMATION ABOUT STUDY TEAMS ON YUZU LABS.
Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (1) you are at least 18 years old; (2) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (3) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms (in which event, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization), unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with Yuzu Labs governing use of the Service, in which event, the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Service.

To access certain features of the Service regarding your potential interest or eligibility to participate in studies and to be notified about future research opportunities, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your name, email address, phone number, personal interests, and certain health or demographic information.

When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, phone number, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Yuzu Labs in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 18.2 and 18.3, you and Yuzu Labs agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND YUZU LABS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 18.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 18 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Yuzu Labs Public Benefit Corporation, Attention: Legal Department -- Arbitration Opt-Out, 2673 Suisun Ave., San Jose, CA 95121 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration ("Opt-Out Notice"). Once Yuzu Labs receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 18 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 20.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Yuzu Labs will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, "AAA Rules") as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Yuzu Labs. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice of Arbitration"). Yuzu Labs' address for Notice is: Yuzu Labs Public Benefit Corporation, 2673 Suisun Ave., San Jose, CA 95121. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Yuzu Labs may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Yuzu Labs must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Yuzu Labs in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Yuzu Labs will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) US$10,000.
Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Yuzu Labs will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, but if the claim is for US$10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Yuzu Labs for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. YOU AND YUZU LABS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Yuzu Labs agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Yuzu Labs makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Yuzu Labs' address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Yuzu Labs' address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with StudyPages will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability. If Section 18.7 or the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, or if Yuzu Labs receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 18 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
