    2.1. Billing Cycle. The membership fee for the Art Medicine service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your Payment Method each cycle on the same billing date as your initial signup for purchase of the service. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register.

    2.2. Payment Methods. To use the Art Medicine service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

  6. Arbitration Agreement

    6.1. If you are a Art Medicine member in the United States (including its possessions and territories), you and Art Medicine agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Art Medicine service, these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Art Medicine are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Art Medicine membership.

    6.2. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Art Medicine by email a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Art Medicine must be addressed to: info@alexiscohen.org ("Notice Address"). If Art Medicine initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Art Medicine, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Art Medicine and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Art Medicine may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.

    6.3. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, you will be responsible for filing fees.

    6.4. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Art Medicine and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.

    6.5. YOU AND ART MEDICINE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Art Medicine agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

  7. Termination. Art Medicine is committed to providing all Participants a positive Service experience. By purchasing this Service, you agree that Art Medicine may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement, and limit, suspend, or terminate your participation in the Service without refund or forgiveness of monthly payments if you become disruptive to Art Medicine or Participants, fail to follow the Service guidelines, are difficult to work with, impair the participation of the other Participants in the Service or upon violation of the terms as determined by Art Medicine. You will still be liable to pay the total contract amount.

  8. Miscellaneous

    8.1. Governing Law. These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, U.S.A. without regard to conflict of laws provisions. These terms will not limit any consumer protection rights that you may be entitled to under the mandatory laws of your state of residence.

    8.2. Unsolicited Materials. Art Medicine does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas for Art Medicine content, and is not responsible for the similarity of any of its content or programming in any media to materials or ideas transmitted to Art Medicine. Should you send any unsolicited materials or ideas, you do so with the understanding that no additional consideration of any sort will be provided to you, and you are waiving any claim against Art Medicine and its affiliates regarding the use of such materials and ideas, even if material or an idea is used that is substantially similar to the material or idea you sent.

    8.3. Feedback. Art Medicine is free to use any comments, information, ideas, concepts, reviews, or techniques or any other material contained in any communication you may send to us ("Feedback"), including responses to questionnaires or through postings to the Art Medicine service, including the Art Medicine website and user interfaces, worldwide and in perpetuity without further compensation, acknowledgement or payment to you for any purpose whatsoever including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products and creating, modifying or improving the Art Medicine service. In addition, you agree not to enforce any "moral rights" in and to the Feedback, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

    8.4. Survival. If any provision or provisions of these Terms of Use shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

    8.5. Changes to Terms of Use and Assignment. Art Medicine may, from time to time, change these Terms of Use. Such revisions shall be effective immediately; provided however, for existing members, such revisions shall, unless otherwise stated, be effective 30 days after posting. We may assign our agreement with you to any affiliated company or to any entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of our business or assets related to the applicable Art Medicine service.

    8.6. Communication Preferences. We will send you information relating to your account (e.g. payment authorizations, invoices, changes in password or Payment Method, confirmation messages, notices) in electronic form only, for example via emails to your email address provided during registration. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
