Acceptance of the Terms of Service

These Terms of Service are entered into between you (a guest user or registered user of www.halo.science) (“you”) and Halo Cures, Inc. (“Halo,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms of Service”), govern your access to and use of www.halo.science, the mobile and touch versions, and any other sites that reference these Terms of Service (collectively, the “Website”), and any information, content, functionality, and services offered on or through the Website (collectively, the “Services”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read these Terms carefully. They include an arbitration agreement and class action waiver in the "Arbitration" section, which affects how disputes with Halo are resolved.

Please read the Terms of Service carefully before you start to use the Website or Services. By using the Website or any Services or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Service when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, found at http://www.halo.science/privacy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website or Services. 

This Website and the Services are offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. Users who access this Website or Services from outside the United States and its territories and possession do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with the laws, regulations, directives, codes, and rules of their own jurisdictions.

By using this Website or the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Halo and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. You further represent that you are in compliance with all laws administered by the United States Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or any other United States government entity imposing economic sanctions and trade embargoes (“Economic Sanctions Laws”) against designated countries (“Embargoed Countries”), entities, and persons (collectively, “Embargoed Targets”), and you are not an Embargoed Target or otherwise subject to any Economic Sanctions Law. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Website or Services.

Changes to the Terms of Service

We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website and Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in the “Arbitration” section of these Terms of Service will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Website.

Your continued use of the Website or Services following the posting of revised Terms of Service means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

All matters relating to the Website, the Services, and these Terms of Service, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

Subject to the provisions of the “Arbitration” section below, if for any reason a dispute proceeds in court, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Service, the Website, and the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware, in each case located in the City of Wilmington and County of New Castle, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Service in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts, and to venue in such courts.

Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You agree to submit any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms of Service or use of the Website or Services, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules, applying Delaware law, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, or where a party’s conduct may cause the other irreparable injury. The provisions of this section constitute the parties’ written agreement to arbitrate disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The arbitration shall take place before a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA rules. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions, unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. If the arbitrator grants the request or determines that an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will proceed in New Castle County, Delaware, unless the arbitrator determines, or Halo agrees, that the matter should proceed in the county where you reside.

The arbitrator will issue a reasoned award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Disclaimer of Warranties” and “Limitation on Liability” sections above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. You and Halo also agree that the arbitrator may not award multiple or punitive damages. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim.

EACH PARTY AGREES THAT IT SHALL BRING ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. IN ADDITION, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE PROVISIONS.

Limitation on Time to File Claims

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE WEBSITE, OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by Halo of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Halo to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

Assignment

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time to any third party without notice. You may not assign these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent.

Relationship of the Parties

The parties to these Terms shall at all times be independent contractors with respect to each other. Neither party is or will be considered the agent, employee, legal representative, partner, or joint venturer of the other for any purpose.

Force Majeure

Except for a party’s payment obligations hereunder, neither party will be responsible for delays or failures in performance arising from events beyond the reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to acts of God, decisions or actions of any governmental or regulatory authorities (including changes to applicable law), riots, strikes, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics, pandemics, fire, flood, power or communication line failures, Internet failures, earthquakes or other disasters, or other similar causes; provided, however, that the non-performing party will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and will continue performance hereunder with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge and agree that any breach of these Terms of Service by you or any person or entity acting under your account or on your behalf would cause immediate and irreparable injury to Halo that cannot be adequately compensated for in damages. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach and in addition to monetary damages and all other remedies available at law or in equity, we shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, without posting of bond or other security.

Entire Agreement

The Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and any separate order form and/or customer agreement that you may enter into with Halo collectively constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Halo regarding the Website and Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website or Services.

In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

  • Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Website or Services, a representative list of such works.

  • Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.

  • Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).

  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.

  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website or Services is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Counter Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the Website or Services was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter notification with us (a “Counter Notice”) by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated above. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter Notice must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

  • An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.

  • Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).

  • A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

  • A statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter Notice.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website or Services was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
