11.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
11.1. Disputes

This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and Conditions.
M3DICINE prefers to resolve disputes amicably and efficiently, and many disputes can be resolved quickly and by emailing customer support at support@m3dicine.com 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 M3DICINE should be sent to Level 1, 88 Brandl Street, Eight Miles Plains, QLD ,4113, Australia. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If M3DICINE and You do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or M3DICINE may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by M3DICINE or You shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or M3DICINE is entitled.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org, or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA, and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
If Your claim is for U.S. $10,000.00, or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000.00, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in QLD, AUSTRALIA before a single arbitrator, unless we both agree to a different location. You and M3DICINE both agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
YOU AND M3DICINE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties' dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
