16. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction
a. Choice of Law. Any Claim arising out of or relating to Function, our Affiliates, our Services, our Products, a transaction in connection with one or more Products and/or Services, one or more of third-party Offerings arising out of and/or relating to our Services and/or Products, and/or the Terms will be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except to the extent that Texas law is preempted by or inconsistent with federal law.
b. Venue and Jurisdiction. Except to the extent that a dispute is arbitrated or brought in small claims court pursuant to Section 17 below, the parties agree that all disputes must be litigated in the state or federal courts the State of Texas. You and Function each waive any defense or claim of lack of personal jurisdiction, the inappropriateness of venue, or forum non conveniens.
c. U.S. Jurisdiction; Foreign Access. Function and its properties are located in and operated from the United States. Our Services are intended only for use by persons located in the United States. Function does not intend to be subject to any non-U.S. law or jurisdiction, under any circumstances, and you agree that you shall not pursue any claims, disputes, or controversies against Function insofar as they are subject Function to non-U.S. law or jurisdiction. Moreover, you acknowledge and agree that Function makes no representation or warranty that our Services -- including without limitation our website, the FH Content and any Lab Results relating to our Services -- are accessible, legally permitted, and/or appropriate for consumption in any countries or jurisdictions outside of the United States. It may not be legal for your and/or other persons to access this site based on the country or jurisdiction in which you and/or such persons are located; you accordingly assume all risk, liability, and responsibility in connection with accessing this site outside of the United States and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, or guidelines applicable thereto. Furthermore, insofar as you are resident of a country other than the United States and/or located in such a country when accessing our Services (e.g., in a country belonging to the European Union), you acknowledge that you are engaging in the transfer of data and information to the United States, which may have less protective data laws, privacy regulations, and disclosure regulations than your country of residency and/or location.
17. Binding Arbitration of Disputes on an Individual Basis.
a. Claims subject to arbitration. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Function agree to arbitrate all Claims arising out of or relating to Function, our Affiliates, these Terms, our Services, our Products, a transaction in connection with one or more Products and/or Services, Personal Information, one or more of third-party products and/or services arising out of and/or relating to our Services and/or Products. This arbitration provision is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
- Claims relating to our facilitation of third-party laboratory services, your Sample, an analysis of your Sample, your Lab Results, any documents, communications, data, or information relating to your Lab Results, and/or any actions and/or omissions in connection therewith and/or resulting therefrom;
- Claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and Function, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, trespass, or any other statutory or common-law legal theory;
- Claims relating to your interactions with or any actions taken by Function, our Affiliates, and/or any of our third-party affiliates and/or providers;
- Claims relating to the FH Content, your receipt and/or review thereof, your distribution thereof, and/or any actions and/or omissions in connection therewith and/or resulting therefrom;
- Claims relating to Function's use, protection, or disclosure of information about you, including your Personal Information;
- Claims concerning Function's marketing and/or advertising of third-party products and services to you;
- Claims that arose before your acceptance of the Terms or any current or prior agreement between you and Function, such as Claims related to advertising or disclosures;
- Claims that arise after the termination of this or any other agreement between you and Function; and
- Except as specified in Section 17.b below, any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, scope, waiver, or enforceability of this arbitration provision, such as a dispute over whether a Claim can or must be brought in arbitration.
In this Section 17 only, references in this to "Function," "we," "our," and "us" include our respective predecessors in interest, as well as our respective past, present, and future subsidiaries, Affiliates, related entities, and all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of our Services or any Products purchased from Function. You agree that, by agreeing to the Terms, you and Function are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision, as set forth by the terms of this Section 17, shall survive termination of your use of our Services.
b. Claims not subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you or Function may bring an action in your local small claims court seeking only individualized relief, so long as the action remains in that court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. If your jurisdiction permits small claims court judgments to be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction for a trial de novo, that appeal shall be resolved in arbitration in accordance with this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision does not preclude you or Function from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies or law enforcement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any dispute over the applicability and/or enforceability of any of the terms and/or conditions in this Section 17(b), shall be determined in a court of competent jurisdiction unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, either Party may bring a claim arising out of and/or relating to intellectual property rights, or seek temporary or preliminary relief and/or specific performance, in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the posting of bond or other security.
c. Class Action Waiver. The arbitrator may award relief (including, but not limited to, damages, restitution, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual Claim. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND FUNCTION EACH AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LE LAW, YOU AND FUNCTION EACH AGREE NOT TO PURSUE OR RECOVER ANY DAMAGES OR OTHER RELIEF IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, MASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING, OR OTHER AGGREGATED PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Function agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's Claims. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the arbitrator may not preside over any form of a collective action, class action, mass action, private attorney general action, or other aggregated proceeding. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of the aforementioned prohibitions on non-individualized relief is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular Claim then the parties agree that such a Claim or request for relief shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction after all other claims and requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
d. Arbitration procedures. A Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute. A Notice of Dispute to Function should be addressed to Function Health, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 600 Congress Ave Fl 14 Austin TX 78701. A Notice of Dispute to you will be sent to the last address you provided to Function. A Notice of Dispute must (i) provide your name, address, phone number, and the email address we have on file for you; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. The Parties agree to negotiate regarding any claim or dispute subject to a Notice of Dispute for a period of not less than sixty (60) days from receipt of said Notice-- and if the Parties do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or Function may commence arbitration with JAMS, which shall administer the arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time ("JAMS Rules"), no later than the latest date permitted by the statute of limitations that would have applied to said a dispute if it had proceeded in a court of competent jurisdiction instead of in arbitration. You may obtain a copy of the JAMS Rules by visiting the JAMS website at jams.org. If the JAMS is unavailable to administer an arbitration, another provider will be selected by agreement of the parties or by the court pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5. Except as specified in this Agreement (e.g., limitations and exclusions around Claims and Losses), the arbitrator can award the same remedies available under applicable law that a court can award. The arbitrator may consider rulings in other arbitrations involving different customers, but an arbitrator's ruling will not be binding in proceedings involving different customers. Unless you and Function agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by videoconference or by telephone or resolve claims or defenses on the basis of papers submitted by the parties, or to the extent not permitted, at the JAMS location nearest your billing address. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, a single arbitrator will conduct the arbitration -- as agreed-upon by the Parties within ten (10) business days following the commencement of Arbitration, or as alternatively determined pursuant to the JAMS rules -- and said arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision. The award shall be final and binding on the parties; judgment may be entered on the award by any court with jurisdiction and by any state or federal court in Houston, Texas, the jurisdiction and venue of which you and Function both agree, and such a judgment shall not be subject to modification, appeal, or vacation except as allowed by Sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act, which the Parties hereby agree apply to these Terms. Except as otherwise explicitly stated in this Agreement, the arbitrator shall have the sole and final authority to decide on the validity, applicability, and scope of the arbitration provisions of this agreement, as well as the arbitrability of a Party's claim(s).
e. Arbitration fees. If Function initiates arbitration or you initiate arbitration of claims valued at $25,000 or less, Function will pay all JAMS filing, administration, case management, hearing, and arbitrator fees ("JAMS Fees"), so long as you have fully complied with the Notice of Dispute requirements in Section 17.d. If you seek relief valued at greater than $25,000, the payment of JAMS Fees shall be governed by the JAMS Rules. Nothing in this Section 17.e prevents the arbitrator from reallocating the JAMS Fees in accordance with the JAMS Rules in the event that the arbitrator finds that a claim violates the standards set in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11.
f. 30-Day period to reject arbitration. You may opt out of this Section 17 of the Terms within thirty (30) days of execution by providing written notice to Function Health, Inc., Attention: Legal Dept., 600 Congress Ave Fl 14 Austin TX 78701. To be valid, an opt-out notice must (i) include your name, the email address we have on file for you, and a statement that you are rejecting the arbitration provision in the Terms; and (ii) be received by Function within 30 days after your initial acceptance of the Terms. If you elect to opt-out under this paragraph, you agree that all other terms and conditions herein stated and stated in other agreements between you and shall remain in full force and effect; that includes, without limitation any other arbitration agreements between you and Function.
g. Time Limitation on Claims. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Function agree that any claim, dispute, controversy, matter, or cause of action arising out of and/or relating to Function, our Affiliates, these Terms, our Services, our Products, a transaction in connection with one or more Products and/or Services, Personal Information, and/or one or more of third-party products and/or services arising out of and/or relating to our Services and/or Products shall be permanently barred if it is not filed and/or submitted for arbitration within one year of when the alleging party knew or reasonably should have known of the issue or matter giving rise thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply to the filing and/or submission of any counterclaim.
18. Miscellaneous
a. Except as expressly permitted otherwise in writing by Function, you may not assign, delegate, sell, or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 18.a is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms. Notwithstanding anything herein contrary, Function may freely assign, delegate, sell, and/or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms-- and any assets relating to, arising out of, and/or concerning these Terms -- including without limitation circumstances of sale, merger, acquisition, reincorporation, consolidation, reorganization, or other change of control. These Terms will be binding on the Parties' heirs, permitted assigns, administrators, and other legal represents, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and any of its successors and/or assigns.
b. You acknowledge and agree that Function shall not hold any liability or responsibility for any Losses -- or be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms -- for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of these Terms that results from factors beyond the scope of our reasonable control. This includes without limitation, acts of God, weather, the slowdown or shutdown of carriers, transportation, and/or utilities, strikes and protests, border delays, health crises and/or pandemic illnesses, closures and/or lockdowns, acts of warfare and/or terrorism, and actions taken by government agencies.
c. If any of the Terms herein -- or any portion(s) of any terms or conditions -- are held unenforceable, the impact of that unenforceability (i.e. limitation or exclusion of terms) will be construed as narrowly as possible to the extent permitted by applicable law and it does not invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction; moreover, the remainder of these Terms-- and all other portions thereof -- shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the extent legally permissible.
d. Any translation of these Terms, your Lab Results, and/or the FH Content is merely provided as a convenience. Any discrepancy or dispute involving a translated version of these Terms, your Lab Results, and/or the FH Content and the English version thereof shall be resolved in favor of the English version. Our headings and section titles in these Terms are provided strictly for your convenience; they have no binding or representative effect on either Party.
e. No waiver under these Terms is effective unless it is in writing, identified as a waiver to these Terms, and signed by an authorized representative of the Party waiving its right(s). The Parties agree that any failure by either Party to require the other's strict adherence to any term or condition herein shall, in no manner, be construed as a waiver of any right(s) by that Party, nor shall such a failure be construed to remove or dilute the effect of any term, condition, or requirement stated in these Terms. These Terms may not be amended or modified unless specified in writing and bearing the consent of both Parties.
f. Insofar as these Terms include any errors or ambiguities related to spelling, grammar, or syntax -- or any other clear errors or ambiguities -- these errors and ambiguities shall be construed to reflect the intent of the Parties. This includes, without limitation: (a) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word "and" vs. "or" vs. "and/or"; and (b) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word "including" -- which shall mean "including without limitation," rather than as point of exclusion, unless otherwise noted; (c) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word "Service" vs. "Services" vs. "Service(s)" - which shall not render any language inapplicable by virtue of the fact that it does or does not refer to more than one (1) Service. The Parties agree that the Terms shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any of the Parties by virtue of the authorship of any term or condition herein appearing; the language used herein will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Party.
g. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications from you to Function in connection with these Terms (each, a "Notice") shall be in writing and addressed to Function at the address on this website. All Notices shall be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid).
h. These Terms benefit solely the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing in these Terms, express or implied, confers on any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms.
i. These Terms, including without limitation the Privacy Policy, along with any further membership agreement and/or any other consent for Services to which you have consented, collectively, constitute the entire agreement between you and Function with respect to our Services and supersede all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements between you and Function, whether oral or written, arising out of and/or relating to our Services. In the event of any conflict between a term and/or condition between you and Function, on the one hand, and a third-party term and/or condition, on the other hand, Function's term and/or condition shall control.

There is no limit to the number of Qualifying Referrals or the amount of Referral Fees that you can receive. “Qualifying Referral” is an individual who (i) opens a new Account (i.e., does not have and has not previously had an account for the Services) (“New Account”) with at least a “Basic Membership” using your Code; and (ii) maintains such New Account active for at least sixty (60) days from the effective date of the New Account opening. “Basic Membership” refers to the basic version of a membership Account, which includes access to concierge and technology services, and valuable content (e.g., access to content from Function’s library, webinars with media personality and/or subject matter specialist) and offerings for products and services, but does not include the purchase of any third-party laboratory testing services, medical services, or any other healthcare items or services. For clarity, a New Account will only be subject to a Referral Fee and payable to you if: (a) you have complied with all applicable terms and conditions (e.g. Referral Program Terms, these Terms) in referring the New Account to Function; and (b) the registrant of the New Account is a Qualifying Referral who used your Code at the time of sign-up.
(ii) Tracking Qualifying Referrals. We will provide you with periodic updates via email regarding the number of Qualifying Referrals generated using your Code.
(iii) Remitting Referral Fee. We will pay you, through Impact, the Referral Fees due to you via direct deposit to your designated bank account in accordance with the valid bank account information provided by you to Impact. You will receive payment for referrals within thirty (30) days after the referral qualifies for payment pursuant to criteria identified in Section 4 (i). You must have a valid bank account to receive payment of the Referral Fees and is solely responsible for keeping such bank account information up to date with Impact. All federal, state, and local taxes (including income and withholding taxes) associated with your receipt of the Referral Fees are your sole responsibility, except that Impact may withhold taxes as appropriate in accordance with Impact’s policies.
(iv) Limitations on Referral Fee.
- The Referral Fee is payable on a Qualifying Referral’s first membership payment only, and not on any renewal and/or other purchases of Function’s Services by a Qualifying Referral. Limit one Referral Fee per Qualifying Referral, regardless of the number of Accounts opened or services purchased by such individual.
- You will not be entitled to any Referral Fee that arises out of and/or relates to one or more of the following: (a) a mistake on our part, (b) fraudulent conduct (by you, Qualifying Referral, or otherwise), (c) your acts and/or omissions in breach of the Referral Program Terms or any other provision of these Terms, (d) a technical malfunction, (e) interference with Function’s systems and/or technologies, and/or (f) the acts and/or omissions of any third party (intentional, negligent, or otherwise) that adversely impact the determination of a Qualifying Referral and/or result in the improper qualification of, tabulation of, and/or payment to one or more Qualifying Referrals (collectively, “Extenuating Circumstances”).
- In the event your Account is suspended for any reason, you will not be entitled to any Referral Fees generated during the period of suspension. If your Account is terminated, (a) you will forfeit any unpaid Referral Fees if such termination is for cause, or (b) we will pay you all Referral Fees accrued as of the effective date of termination if the Account is terminated due to expiration of your membership.
- General Conditions.
- Our measurement of Qualifying Referrals will be the sole source of determining whether and to what extent you will receive any Referral Fees. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we retain the sole and final decisional authority regarding (a) whether to issue a Referral Fee to you; and (b) whether a Referral Fee was improperly issued to you.
- You are solely responsible for ensuring that Impact has your current designated bank account information. Neither Function nor Impact is responsible for any returned direct deposits.
- In addition to and without the limitation of all other remedies that may be available to us, and to the fullest extent allowed by law, if we determine, in our sole, final, and reasonable discretion, that any Referral Fees already paid to you should not have been issued due to one or more Extenuating Circumstances, you agree that, in addition to all other remedies available at law, within fourteen (14) days of our written, detailed demand for the return of one or more improperly paid Referral Fees, you will return any and all such Referral Fees to us at the address and/or account information provided by us.
