a.  Website. www.belgianshepherdhealthproject.org  is an interactive platform for which dog sportsmen and women, breeders, dog owners or other persons interested in Belgian Shepherd dogs can learn how to support a healthy future for the Belgian Shepherd.

Our Website provides you with the opportunity to create an account, provide your dog’s reported information, and review and analyze information relating to your dog’s Genetic Information. 

Our website may also provide, in conjunction with other organizations, access to reduced price kits with canine DNA testing services.

We do not endorse, warranty or guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action including considerations for breeding, resources, tests, products, analyses, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on our Website.  Such information is provided for informational purposes only, and for discussion with your veterinarian. You may also be given the opportunity to provide records from your dog’s veterinarian and/or other dog service providers that you use. Providing that information is optional and may or may not be used to enhance your experience, provide you additional services, and/or conduct research.

b.  Research.  We will use your dog’s Genetic Information and/or Reported Information in combination with that from other Belgian Shepherds to conduct aggregated statistical analyses to expand the understanding and practical application of genetic knowledge in Belgian Shepherd veterinary care and dog wellness generally. Any unusual findings may lead to a more targeted research project, which could be based entirely on the analysis of survey data or might result in collaborative research with DNA Testing and/or Research Services to attempt to identify potential genetic causes correlating to any statistical anomalies discovered.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms are governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of such state, and are binding upon the parties hereto in the United States and worldwide. Outside of the United States, terms are governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the country of England. You and the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

YOU AND THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD HEALTH PROJECT™ AND ITS AUTHORS AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD PROJECT AND ITS AUTHORS  WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10 AND THAT YOU AND THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD HEALTH PROJECT™ AND ITS AUTHORS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE ANY COURT OF LAW.

YOU AND THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD HEALTH PROJECT™ AND ITS AUTHORS FURTHER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any dispute between you and the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors and its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this Section 10, “BSHP Parties”) arising from or relating to these Terms and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this agreement to arbitration (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration in the U.S. State of New York administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules in effect on the date thereof.

A. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™. That written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) a written description of Your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief You seek. If Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within forty-five (45) days after receipt of Your written notification, You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

1. Arbitration Procedures. If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution“) either You or the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ may initiate arbitration proceedings. If You reside in North America, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“), http://www.adr.org, will arbitrate all Disputes. If You do not reside in North America, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR“), http://www.icdr.org, will arbitrate all Disputes. The arbitration taking place before the ICDR will be conducted in English before a single arbitrator. In either case, the arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to decide all issues with respect to Section 10, including, but not limited to whether any particular claim asserted by You or Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ falls within the scope of this Section 10 and any alleged ambiguities in this Section 10.
2. In Disputes before the AAA, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, and in either instance the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The ICDR’s rules will apply to Disputes before that entity. AAA and ICDR rules are available at http://www.adr.org and http://www.icdr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules of the AAA or ICDR. Based on the class action waiver set forth in the paragraphs above, under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must be with written explanation and remain confidential.

The Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors and you agree that all Disputes will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors nor you are entitled to arbitrate all Disputes as a class, representative or private-attorney action and the arbitrator will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general basis. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 10 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this Section 10, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

Please Note: By agreeing to these Terms, you explicitly agree that any claims or actions that you may otherwise have against the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States are hereby waived, including without limitation, any claims or actions under the laws of your own country, and that your sole location and applicable law for any dispute is in the United States according to the terms of this Section 20.

LEGAL NOTICE TO NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS: The provisions in this section that (i) limit the period of time within which a claim may be asserted against the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors and (ii) exclude certain damages do not apply to New Jersey residents.

11. Termination

These Terms automatically terminate when you fail to comply with any term or condition of them. The Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ may terminate or modify your access to the Services, including the Website, with or without notice to you, at any time for any reason.

Termination will not limit any of the Belgian Shepherd Health Project™ and its Authors’ other rights or remedies. This Section 11, along with Sections 8, 9, and 10, survive termination of these Terms.
