Terms of Use

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY; THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT.

Welcome to the Exxat website (the “Site”). Your access and use of the Site and of features, products and services provided by Exxat, Inc. (“Exxat,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) through the Site available at exxat.com, apps.exxat.com, and support.exxat.com (individually and collectively, the “Service”), but excluding any software, products or services provided by Exxat under a separate written agreement, is subject to the terms and conditions in this Terms of Use (this “ToU”). By accessing, browsing, submitting information to and/or using the Site or Services, you agree and acknowledge on your own behalf (referred to throughout the ToU as “you”) that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these ToU and to comply with all applicable laws including, without limitation, all federal, state, and local tax and tariff laws, regulations, and/or directives. If you do not agree to the ToU, please do not use the Site or Services.

You must agree to this ToU in order to use the Site and/or the Service. You will be asked to accept the ToU when you create your Exxat account. By accepting this ToU or using the Site and/or the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter a contract in the jurisdiction where you reside. If you do not accept this ToU, then you may not use the Site or the Service. If you are using the Site or the Service on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such other entity to this ToU. If you do not have such authority, then you may not use the Site or the Service on behalf of your employer or such other entity and you must discontinue all use of the Site and the Service immediately.

The Site and Services are provided solely for informational purposes and the purposes of enabling communications between you and Exxat. The information provided is intended to be general in nature, and does not necessarily address all the terms, exclusions, and conditions applicable to our Services.

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information at any particular time. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. Exxat disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such content by you or any other user of the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. Any information you provide or that is collected by Exxat through the Services shall be handled in accordance with the Service’s Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Important Notice About Your Health Information. You should also understand that much of the Personal Information (as defined in the Service’s Privacy Policy) you provide may be related to your health, diagnoses, vaccination status, health insurance card, and physical examination results. Exxat is not a health provider. Exxat is a platform that enables health professional schools to manage internships for its students at clinical sites. Unless otherwise established in an agreement between Exxat and a Covered Entity (i.e., a doctor, pharmacy, or insurer) as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), Exxat does not collect “Protected Health Information” as defined under HIPAA. Therefore, your Personal Information is not entitled to the same protections as regulated data under HIPAA.

Please also note that any Personal Information relating to your health, diagnosis, vaccination status, health insurance card, or physical examination results may be shared with third parties - with your explicit permission. When such Personal Information is shared with third parties, the entirety of that Personal Information, including all health documents provided to Exxat, may be shared with the applicable third party. Indeed, in order for Exxat to provide its Services, it may be necessary that Personal Information be shared collectively, as opposed to having selected data elements of Personal Information shared at the exclusion of others. In other words, when your Personal Information is shared, all data elements you have provided to Exxat, and fields from your profile and associated documents, may be shared.

1. ToU Updates. Exxat may update this ToU at any time, and Exxat will post the updated version of this ToU on the Site. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated ToU if you use the Site or the Service after the updated ToU is posted on the Site. If at any point you do not agree to any portion of this ToU then in effect, you must immediately stop using the Site and the Service.

4. Accounts and Security. Exxat is a platform that enables health professional schools (each, a “School”) to manage internships for its students (each, a “Student”) at clinical sites (each, a “Clinic”, and each individual who is Student, a representative of a School or a representative of a Clinic is referred to as a “User” and, collectively, as “Users”). Users may have accounts and access the system to facilitate placement of Students in internships with Clinics.

4.1Account. To access the Service, a User must have an account. You can create an account by completing the registration process. You may be required to provide information about yourself or, if applicable, your employer or organization as part of the registration process or your continued use of the Service. You agree that any registration information that you submit to Exxat will be correct, accurate and up to date.

4.2. Fees. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using your account. Unless otherwise noted, all currency references are in U.S. dollars. All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes payable. Exxat may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement its pricing and billing procedures, and such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting an update of this ToU or posting such changes elsewhere on the Site. If there is a dispute regarding your payment of fees, or the Service, Exxat shall have the right to terminate your account without prior notice.

4.4. Account Sharing or Transfers. Accounts are registered to you personally and may not be sold or otherwise transferred at any time under any circumstances.

4.5. Cancellation by You. If you are a Student, you have the right to cancel your account at any time by making a request to your School. Exxat will cancel your account promptly following receipt of your cancellation request from your School.

However, content previously shared with Schools and/or Clinics may remain viewable by those Users until they delete such content.

4.7. Effect of Account Termination or Cancellation. If you voluntarily terminate your account or allow your account to lapse, you will be able to reactivate that account at any time by contacting Exxat, or, if you are a Student, by making a request to your School to reactivate your account and Exxat will reactivate your account promptly following receipt of your reactivation request from your School. Accounts terminated by Exxat for any type of abuse including, without limitation, a violation of this ToU, may not be reactivated for any reason.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exxat shall be allowed to apply for equitable remedies (including injunctions) in any jurisdiction.

17. Binding Arbitration.

17.1. Arbitration Procedures. You and Exxat agree that, except as provided in Section 17.4 below, all disputes, controversies and claims related to this ToU (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in this ToU. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 17 and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section 17 will control and prevail.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 17.4, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Exxat will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator.

Except as otherwise provided in this ToU, (a) you and Exxat may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (b) the arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.

BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND EXXAT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

17.2. Location. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances.

17.3. Limitations. You and Exxat agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between Exxat and you individually. YOU AND EXXAT AGREE THAT (a) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (b) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (c) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.

17.4. Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Exxat agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Exxat’s intellectual property rights; (b) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

17.5. Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.

17.6. Severability. You and Exxat agree that if any portion this Section 17 is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 17.4), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 17.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Exxat will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 17.4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and you and Exxat agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

18. General.

18.1. ToU Revisions. This ToU may only be revised in a writing signed by Exxat, or published by Exxat on the Site.

18.4. Severability. If any part of this ToU is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of the ToU shall be given full force and effect.

18.5. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation or arbitration is brought by either party in connection with this ToU, except as otherwise provided in Section 17.5, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.

18.6. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this ToU shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect our right to enforce the same provision at a later time. An express waiver by Exxat of any provision, condition or requirement of this ToU shall not be understood as a waiver of your obligation to comply with the same provision, condition or requirement at a later time.

18.7. Notices. All notices given by you or required under this ToU shall be in writing and sent to support@exxat.com.
