Dispute Resolution
Except with respect to intellectual property rights, including the right of a party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, if a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or its breach, and the parties have not been successful in resolving the dispute through direct negotiation, then (a) the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, (b) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, (c) the location of the arbitration shall be Lexington, Kentucky, and (d) the parties shall have the right to take discovery of the other party by any method allowed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator(s) shall each be a natural person who has never been employed (either as an employee or as an independent consultant) by either of the parties, or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof. The arbitrator(s) may upon request exclude from the arbitration proceeding any evidence not made available to the other party pursuant to a proper discovery request. The arbitrator(s) shall issue a reasoned award. The cost of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties pending the award. Upon the decision of the arbitrator(s), the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The parties, their representatives, other participants, the arbitrator(s) and the administrator(s) of the arbitration shall hold in confidence the existence, content and outcome of the arbitration.
Choice of Law and Forum
The Services are controlled by CHA Health from within the Commonwealth of Kentucky, although they may be accessed throughout the world.

Subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth above, you and CHA Health agree and hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the appropriate State and Federal courts located in Lexington, Kentucky with respect to such matters.
Miscellaneous Terms
Subject to CHA Health's other agreements, rules, and policies for the Services, as they apply to the subject matter they relate to, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and CHA Health with respect to its subject matter, and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and CHA Health relating to such subject matter. Nonetheless, this Agreement may be supplemented by any other agreement you enter into with CHA Health pursuant to a registration to access certain features of the Site. The failure of CHA Health to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found through arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
