Contact us first.  Genomic Focus is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user's satisfaction by emailing support at  support@genomicfocus.com

Agreement to Arbitrate.  If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ( Notice ). The Notice to Genomic Focus'should be sent to Genomic Focus LLC, 11209 Grey Oaks Park Ter, Glen Allen, VA 230059 ( Notice Address ). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Genomic Focus and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Genomic Focus may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Genomic Focus or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Genomic Focus is entitled.

You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Genomic Focus, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Genomic Focus are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND GENOMIC FOCUS AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND GENOMIC FOCUS AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON S OR PARTY S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

Arbitration Procedures. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, Claim ) relating in any way to your use of Genomic Focus's services and/or products, including the Service, will be resolved by arbitration. You and the Genomic Focus agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the JAMS Rules ) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under the Terms will take place on an individual basis class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and Genomic Focus are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Genomic Focus will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in small claims court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis. An arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law.

Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $75,000, Genomic Focus will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

Confidentiality & Severability. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@genomicfocus.com or to the U.S. mailing address listed at the bottom of this Agreement. The notice must be sent to Genomic Focus within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Service or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Genomic Focus also will not be bound by them.
