By accepting these Terms, you agree to pay all applicable fees due for your access to and any purchases made on or through the Services. Members, who access the Services separate from a DUOS client (health plan, employer, or other entity), will pay the applicable monthly, recurring fee. The Member hereby consents to DUOS charging the payment method on file with DUOS for the monthly recurring fee each month, unless such Member provides DUOS with at least thirty (30) days’ prior, written notice of its intent not to renew the Services. Further, the Member consents to DUOS’ collection of certain third party service fees (including from any Third Party Service (as defined in Section 5) from the Member, where the Member has requested that the Duo and/or DUOS organize certain Third Party Services on the Member’s behalf (e.g., a Duo gets you an Uber or pays for your groceries using Instacart). DUOS will pass through any such Third Party Service fees to the Member, as reflected on the applicable invoice.

Please note that all fees paid for your access to the Services are non-refundable. You acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will you be remitted a refund or otherwise provided any kind of credit or reimbursement of fees. Where the Member accesses the Services pursuant to his/her health plan, the Member should review his or her applicable plan rules and policies regarding payment, deductibles, premiums and what is/is not covered under such plan. DUOS is not responsible for any plan refusal to remit payment for the Services provided and in the event that any health plan fails to pay the applicable fees, the Member shall become responsible for such fees.

‍

The Third Party Platform will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Mobile App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of DUOS. DUOS, not the Third Party Platform, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the Mobile App or your possession and/or use of the Mobile App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Mobile App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; and/or (iv) intellectual property infringement claims.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHILE DUOS WILL UTILIZE ALL REASONABLE EFFORTS DESIGNED TO ENSURE SAFE CONNECTIONS ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES AND TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 AND ANY OTHER ILLNESSES, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE HEALTH OF ANY DUO ASSIGNED TO YOU AND/OR ANY THIRD PARTY WITH WHOM YOU CONNECT THROUGH THE SERVICES, AND AS SUCH, YOUR IN PERSON INTERACTIONS WITH ANY DUO AND/OR THIRD PARTY ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

‍

10. Governing Law, Mandatory Arbitration & Class Action Waiver.

Governing Law. By using the Services, you agree that these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Scope of Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”). You acknowledge and agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services or to any other aspect of your relationship with DUOS will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or DUOS may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement. NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, THERE MAY BE LAWSUITS AGAINST DUOS ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS. SUCH CLAIMS, IF SUCCESSFUL, COULD RESULT IN SOME MONETARY RECOVERY TO YOU. THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUITS DOES NOT MEAN THAT SUCH LAWSUITS WILL ULTIMATELY SUCCEED. BUT IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH DUOS, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVERY MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF UNDER SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUITS. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST DUOS IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.

Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act in all respects. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, Vcorp Services, LLC, 1013 Centre Road, Suite 403-B, Wilmington, DE 19805. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, DUOS will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.

Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and DUOS. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding on you and Duos.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND DUOS EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and DUOS are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. In any litigation between you and DUOS over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and DUOS waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have a judge resolve the dispute.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR MEMBER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR MEMBER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor DUOS is entitled to arbitration. Instead, all claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth this section.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor DUOS can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify DUOS in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your DUOS username (if any), the email address you used to set up your DUOS account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to: support@getduos.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.

Exclusive Venue. To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and DUOS agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, NY within the State of New York.
‍

11. Additional Terms for California Residents

If you are a California resident, you waive to the maximum extent permitted by law California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

In addition, under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite S-202, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 in order to resolve a complaint regarding the service or to receive further information regarding use of the service.

‍

12. Privacy - Telephone Consumer Protection Act

(a) By using the Services, you not only acknowledge your Rights under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but you also Consent to the applicable terms under these Terms, accordingly.

(b) VIII. Privacy — Telephone Consumer Protection Act

(i) The Telephone Consumer ProtectionAct of 1991 (TCPA) amended the Communications Act of 19341 and was enacted to address telephone marketing calls and certain telemarketing practices. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has regulatory authority under the statute. The FCC revised its regulations twice in 2019 to provide a safe harbor from liability for making calls to reassigned telephone numbers and to eliminate the requirement for an opt-out notice on fax advertisements sent with the recipient’s prior express permission or consent. The FCC further revised its regulation in 2021 to implement the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act), in which it codified exemptions for calls to wireless numbers, amended exemptions for artificial or prerecorded voice calls made to residential telephone lines, and included exemptions for calls by financial institutions provided the call is not charged to the called person’s plan limits on minutes or texts. There are new updates to the law signed at the end of 2022, to be effective 6/27/2023 that further refine your rights and3^rd party obligations.
