HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact Christian Family Care’s (CFC) Vice President (VP) of Community and Human Flourishing at (602) 234-1935.

WHO WILL FOLLOW THIS NOTICE

This notice describes our agency’s practices and that of:

  • All departments and units of the agency.
  • All employees, staff, and other agency personnel.

OUR PLEDGE REGARDING PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION (PHI)

We understand that protected health information (“PHI”) about you and your health is personal. We are committed to protecting PHI. We create a record of the care and services you receive at the agency. We need this record to provide you with quality care and to comply with certain legal requirements. We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI and to provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your PHI. We are also required by law to notify you in the event of a breach of your unsecured PHI. This Notice applies to all the records of your care generated by the agency, whether made by agency personnel or your personal therapist/case worker.

This Notice will tell you about how we may use and disclose PHI about you. We also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of PHI. We are required to abide by the terms of this Notice currently in effect.

HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION (PHI) ABOUT YOU WITHOUT YOUR WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION

For Treatment We may use PHI about you to provide you with health care services. We may disclose PHI about you to doctors, interns, and other health professionals who are involved in taking care of you at the agency. We may also disclose information about you to other health care providers outside the agency so they can provide health care to you.

For Payment We may use and disclose information about you so that the treatment and services you receive may be billed to a third-party payer and so that payment may be collected on your behalf. For example, we may need to give your health plan information about services received at the agency so that your health plan will pay us or reimburse you for the services rendered. We may also tell your health plan about services you are going to receive to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the services.

For Health Care Operations We may use and disclose PHI about you for agency operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the agency and to ensure that all our clients receive quality care. For example, we may: use PHI to review our treatment and services and to evaluate the performance of our staff in caring for you;  combine PHI about many clients to decide what additional services the agency should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new services are effective; disclose information to other staff and interns for review and learning purposes; combine the PHI we have with PHI from other agencies to compare how we are doing and see where we can make improvements in the care and services we offer; or remove information that identifies you and disclose such “de-identified” information so that others may use it to study health care and health care delivery without identifying specific clients.

Appointment Reminders We may use and disclose PHI to contact you as a reminder that you have an appointment for services at the agency.

OTHER USES AND DISCLOSURES WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION

Treatment Alternatives We may use and disclose PHI to tell you about or recommend treatment options or alternatives that may be of interest to you.

Health-Related Benefits and Services We may use and disclose PHI to tell you about health-related benefits or services that may be of interest to you.

Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care We may release PHI about you to a friend or family member who is involved in your care. We may also give information to someone who helps pay for your care. We may disclose the relevant PHI to these persons if you do not object or we can reasonably infer from the circumstances that you do not object to the disclosure; however, when you are not present or are incapacitated, we can make the disclosure if, in the exercise of professional judgment, we believe the disclosure is in your best interest.

Research Under certain circumstances, we may disclose PHI about you for research purposes, provided certain measures have been taken to protect your privacy.

As Required by Law We will disclose PHI about you when required to do so by federal, state, or local law. The use and disclosure will be made in compliance with the law and will be limited to the relevant requirements of the law.

To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety We may use and disclose PHI about you, when necessary, to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of the public or another person. Any disclosure, however, would only be to someone reasonably likely to be able to help prevent the threat.

Military and Veterans If you are a member of the armed forces, we may release PHI about you as required by military command authorities. We may also release PHI about foreign military personnel to the appropriate foreign military authority.

Public Health Risks We may disclose PHI about you for public health activities. These activities generally include the following:

  • To prevent or control disease, injury, or disability;
  • To report births and deaths;
  • To notify a person who may have been exposed to a disease or may be at risk for contracting or spreading a disease or condition;
  • To notify the appropriate government authority if we believe an individual has been the victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. We will only make this disclosure if you agree or when required or authorized by law.

Health Oversight Activities We may disclose PHI to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law. These oversight activities include, for example, audits, investigations, inspections, and licensure. These activities are necessary for the government to monitor the health care system, government programs, and compliance with civil rights laws.

Lawsuits and Disputes We may disclose PHI about you in response to a court or administrative order. We may also disclose PHI about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process without a court or administrative order, but only if efforts have been made to tell you about the request (which may include written notice to you) or to obtain an order protecting the information requested.

Law Enforcement We may release PHI if asked to do so by a law enforcement official:

  • In response to a court order, subpoena, warrant, summons or similar process;
  • To identify or locate a suspect, fugitive, material witness, or missing person;
  • About the victim of a crime if, under certain limited circumstances, we are unable to obtain the person’s agreement;
  • About a death we believe may be the result of criminal conduct;
  • About criminal conduct at the agency; and
  • In emergency circumstances to report a crime; the location of the crime or victims; or the identity, description or location of the person who committed the crime.

National Security and Intelligence Activities We may release PHI about you to authorized federal officials for intelligence, counterintelligence, and other national security activities authorized by law.

Inmates If you are an inmate of a correctional institution or under the custody of a law enforcement official, we may release PHI about you to the correctional institution or law enforcement official. This release would be necessary (1) for the institution to provide you with services; (2) to protect your health and safety or the health and safety of others; or (3) for the safety and security of the correctional institution.

Coroners, Funeral Directors, and Organ Donation CFC may disclose health information to a coroner or medical examiner for identification purposes, determining cause of death or for the coroner or medical examiner to perform other duties authorized by law. We may also disclose health information to a funeral director, as authorized by law, in order to permit the funeral director to carry out his or her duties. We may disclose such information in reasonable anticipation of death. Health information may be used and disclosed for cadaveric organ, eye, or tissue donation purposes.

Workers’ Compensation Your health information may be disclosed by CFC as authorized by and to the extent necessary to comply with workers’ compensation laws and other similar legally-established programs.

Other Required Uses and Disclosure Under the law, CFC must make disclosures to you, and when required by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to investigate or determine our compliance with the law.

Other Required Uses and Disclosure Under the law, CFC must make disclosures to you, and when required by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to investigate or determine our compliance with the law.

FUNDRAISING

We may use PHI about you to contact you to raise money for the agency, or an agency-related foundation, and its operations. If you wish to have your name removed from the list to receive fundraising requests supporting CFC or a CFC-related foundation, please call (602) 234-1935 or send an email to info@cfcare.org.

Uses and DISCLOSURES Requiring Your Written Authorization

Use or Disclosure with Your Authorization We must obtain your written authorization for most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes, uses and disclosures of PHI for marketing purposes (with limited exceptions), and disclosures that constitute the sale of PHI. Other uses and disclosures of PHI not covered by this notice or the laws that apply to us will be made only with your written permission. For instance, you will need to complete and sign an authorization form before we can send your PHI to your life insurance company. If you provide us with permission to use or disclose PHI about you, you may revoke that permission, in writing, at any time. If you revoke your permission, we will no longer use or disclose PHI about you for the reasons covered by your written authorization. We cannot take back any disclosures we have made with your permission, and we must retain our records of the services we provided you in accordance with AZ Revised Statute §12-2297 “Retention of Records” and CFC Administrative Guideline (AG) 29 – Case Record Maintenance, Closing and Destruction.

Uses and Disclosures of Your Highly Confidential Information Federal and state law sometimes require special privacy protections for certain highly confidential information about you (“Highly Confidential Information”). This Highly Confidential Information may include the subset of your PHI that:  (1) is maintained in counseling notes; (2) is about mental health and developmental disabilities services; (3) is about alcohol and drug abuse prevention, treatment and referral; (4) is about HIV/AIDS testing, diagnosis or treatment; (5) is about sexually-transmitted disease(s); (6) is about genetic testing; (7) is about child abuse and neglect; (7) is about domestic abuse of an adult with a disability; or (8) is about sexual assault. For us to disclose your Highly Confidential Information for a purpose other than those permitted or required by law, we will generally seek your written permission.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION (PHI) ABOUT YOU

You have the following rights regarding PHI we maintain about you:

Confidentiality You have the right to request that CFC use only confidential means of communicating with you about health information. This means you may request to have information delivered to you at a certain time or place. CFC asks that such requests be made in writing, on a form provided by CFC that must be submitted to the VP of Community and Human Flourishing. CFC will accommodate all reasonable requests.

Right to Inspect and Copy You have the right to inspect and/or request a copy of PHI that may be used to make decisions about your care. Usually, this includes behavioral health and billing records. You may also request that we provide copies of this PHI in a format other than photocopies, such as providing them to you electronically, if the PHI is readily producible in such form and format.

To inspect PHI that may be used to make decisions about you, you must submit your request in writing to the VP of Community and Human Flourishing. If you request a copy of the information, we may charge a fee for the costs of copying, mailing or other supplies associated with your request.

We may deny your request to inspect or receive a copy in certain limited circumstances. If you are denied access to PHI, you may request that the denial be reviewed. Another licensed health care professional chosen by the agency will review your request and the denial. The person conducting the review will not be the person who denied your request. We will comply with the outcome of the review.

Right to Amend If you feel that PHI we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend the information. You have the right to request an amendment for as long as the information is kept by or for the agency.

To request an amendment, your request must be made in writing and submitted to the VP of Community and Human Flourishing. In addition, you must provide a reason that supports your request.

We may deny your request for an amendment if it is not in writing or does not include a reason to support the request. In addition, we may deny your request if you ask us to amend information that:

  • Was not created by us, unless the person or entity that created the information is no longer available to make the amendment;
  • Is not part of the PHI kept by or for the agency;
  • Is not part of the information which you would be permitted to inspect and copy; or
  • Is not accurate and complete.

If we deny your request to amend, we will notify you in writing. You then have the right to submit to us a written statement of disagreement with our decision, and we have the right to rebut that statement.   

Right to an Accounting of Disclosures You have the right to request an “accounting of disclosures.”  This is a list of the disclosures we have made of information about you other than disclosures related to treatment, payment, health care operations, with your authorization, or certain other types of disclosures.

To request this list of accounting of disclosures, you must submit your request in writing to the VP of Community and Human Flourishing. Your request must state a time period which may not be longer than six years prior to the date of your request. Your request should indicate in what form you want the list (for example, on paper, electronically, etc.). The first list you request within a 12-month period will be free. For additional lists, we may charge you for the costs of providing the list. We will notify you of the cost involved and you may choose to withdraw or modify your request at that time before any costs are incurred.  

Right to Request Restrictions You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the PHI we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment, or health care operations. You also have the right to request a limit on the information we disclose about you to someone who is involved in your care or the payment for your care, like a family member or friend. For example, you could ask that we not use or disclose information about a certain service you have received.

We are not required to agree to your request, except requests to restrict disclosures to a health plan where (a) the disclosure relates to Payment or Health Care Operations disclosures and is not required by law, and (b) the PHI pertains solely to a health care item or service for which you (or another person) have paid in full. If we do agree, we will comply with your request.

To request restrictions, you must make your request in writing to the VP of Community and Human Flourishing. In your request, you must tell us (1) what information you want to limit; (2) whether you want to limit our use, disclosure, or both; and (3) to whom you want the limits to apply, for example, disclosures to your spouse.

Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice You have the right to a paper copy of this notice. You may ask us to give you a copy of this notice at any time. Even if you have agreed to receive this notice electronically, you are still entitled to a paper copy of this notice.

You may obtain a copy of this notice at our website, www.cfcare.org.

To obtain a paper copy of this notice, submit your request to the VP of Community and Human Flourishing via U.S. mail, fax, e-mail, or phone call.

CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE

We reserve the right to change this notice. We reserve the right to make the revised or changed notice effective for information we already have about you and any information we receive in the future. We will post a copy of the current notice in the agency. The notice will contain on the first page, in the lower left-hand corner, the effective date. In addition, each time you begin services at the agency, we will offer you a copy of the current notice in effect.

COMPLAINTS

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the agency, Arizona Department of Child Safety, or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To file a complaint with the agency, contact CFC’s VP of Community and Human Flourishing, 2346 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004 (602) 234-1935. All complaints must be submitted in writing.

If you choose to submit UGC to any public area of the Service, your UGC will be considered “public” and will be accessible by anyone, including Christian Family Care. Notwithstanding anything to contrary, unless otherwise explicitly agreed by us, the personal information included in UGC is not subject to our usage or sharing limitations, or other obligations under this Privacy Policy or otherwise, and may be used and shared by us and third parties to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law. We encourage you to exercise caution when making decisions about what you disclose in such public areas.

The Service may include or link to third-party websites, apps, locations, platforms, code (e.g., plug-ins, application programming interfaces (“API”), and software development kits (“SDKs”) or other services (“Third-Party Service(s)”).

Similarly, if you post information on a Third-Party Service that references the Service (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with Christian Family Care, such as in a tweet or status update), your post may be used on or in connection with the Service or otherwise by Christian Family Care. Also, both Christian Family Care and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Service and any Third-Party Service.

Christian Family Care may engage and work with Service Providers and other third parties to serve advertisements on the Service and/or on other online services. Some of these ads may be tailored to your interest based on your browsing of the Service and elsewhere on the Internet, which may include use of precise location and/or Cross-device Data, sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” and “online behavioral advertising” (“Interestbased Advertising”), which may include sending you an ad on another online service after you have left the Service (i.e., “retargeting”).

Choices: Tracking and Communications Options

1. Tracking Technologies generally.

Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with Flash cookies (also known as locally shared objects)1, HTML5 cookies, or other Tracking Technologies. For information on disabling Flash cookies, go to Adobe’s website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable- third-party-local-shared.html. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Service may not work and that when you revisit the Service your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Some App-related Tracking Technologies in connection with non-browser usage (e.g., most functionality of a mobile app) can only be disabled by uninstalling the app. To uninstall an app, follow the instructions from your operating system or handset manufacturer. Apple and Google mobile device settings have settings to limit ad tracking, and other tracking, but these may not be completely effective.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, Christian Family Care currently does not alter its practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com, but Christian Family Care is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this third-party information. Some third parties, however, may offer you choices regarding their Tracking Technologies. One way to potentially identify cookies on our web site is to add the free Ghostery plug-in to your browser (www.ghostery.com), which according to Ghostery will display for you traditional, browser-based cookies associated with the web sites (but not mobile apps) you visit and privacy and opt-out policies and options of the parties operating those cookies.

Christian Family Care is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this tool or third- party choice notices or mechanisms. For specific information on some of the choice options offered by third party analytics and advertising providers, see the next section. We may, from time-to-time, and in certain jurisdictions, offer or point you to tools that allow you to exercise certain preferences regarding cookies and other Tracking Technologies associated with the Services, but such tools rely on third parties and third-party information so we do not guaranty that the tools will provide complete and accurate information or be completely effective. For instance, here is where you can find cookie controls for popular browsers:

We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate. You will need to do this on each browser that you use to access our Services and clearing cookies on your browser(s) may disable your preference settings. Also, our Services may not function properly or as intended if you block all or even certain cookies. Accordingly, you may want to consider the more limited opt-out choices noted in the next section.

2. Analytics and advertising tracking technologies.

You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptoutor downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Adobe Analytics by going to https://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html under the section labeled “Tell our customers not to measure your use of their web sites or tailor their online ads for you.”

You may choose whether to receive some Interest-based Advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and Service Providers that perform advertising-related services for us and third parties may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, including use of Cross-device Data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program specifically for mobile apps (including use of precise location for third party ads). Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Christian Family Care supports the ad industry’s Self-regulatory Principles for Online  Behavioral Advertising and expects that ad networks Christian Family Care directly engages to serve you Interest-based Advertising will do so as well, though Christian Family Care cannot guaranty their compliance. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third party’s opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

We may also use Microsoft Advertising Services and Google Ad Services. To learn more about the data Microsoft collects and how your data is used by it and to opt-out of certain Microsoft browser Interest-based Advertising, please visit here. To learn more about the data Google collects and how your data is used by it and to opt out of certain Google browser Interest-based Advertising, please visit here.

3. Communications.

You can opt out of receiving certain promotional communications (emails or text messaging) from Christian Family Care at any time by (i) for promotional e-mails, following the instructions provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link, or if available by changing your communication preferences by logging onto your account; and (ii) for text messages, following the instructions provided in text messages from Christian Family Care to text the word, “STOP”. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the e-mail address or phone number used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions. If you opt-out of only certain communications, other subscription communications may continue. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional communications, Christian Family Care may, subject to applicable law, continue to send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or Christian Family Care’s ongoing business relations with you.

5.3 Counter-Notification. If access on the Service to a work that you submitted to Christian Family Care is disabled or the work is removed because of a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the email address above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:

  • a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;
  • a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the full URL of the page(s) on the Service from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);

  • your full name, address, telephone number, email address, and the username associated with your account;
  • a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and
  • your electronic or physical signature.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.

If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the email addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service. You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

The parties may engage in the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. Neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only for the enforcement of the arbitrator’s award; provided, however, that prior to the appointment of the arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek pendente lite relief (subject to the provisions of these Terms waiving or limiting that relief) in a court of competent jurisdiction in Maricopa County, Arizona or, if sought by Christian Family Care, such other court that may have jurisdiction over you, without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under this section; provided further, however, that the losing party shall have fifteen (15) business days after the issuance of the arbitrator’s decision to fully comply with such decision, after which the prevailing party may enforce such decision by a petition to the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County or, in the case of you, such other court having jurisdiction over you, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award.

7.4 Limitation on Injunctive Relief. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, SUBMISSIONS, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ANY CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTY (DEFINED BELOW) (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED SUBMISSIONS) OR A LICENSOR OF ANY CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTY.

7.5 Governing Law. These Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, General Disputes and IP Disputes, and any other claim brought by you against Christian Family Care or by Christian Family Care against you pursuant to this section, or otherwise related to the Service, Content, Christian Family Care Licensed Elements, Submissions or other Christian Family Care products or services, will be governed by, construed, and resolved in accordance with, the laws of the State of Arizona, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions that might apply the laws of another jurisdiction. This section shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and Christian Family Care agree that we intend that this Section 7 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 7 can only be amended by mutual agreement. Either party may seek enforcement of this section in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.

7.6 Class Action Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, both you and Christian Family Care waive the right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth above, if the provision regarding waiver of class, collective, representative, and private attorney general claims of this Section is found to be void or otherwise unenforceable, any such class, collective, representative, or private attorney general claims must be heard and determined through an appropriate court proceeding, and not in arbitration.

7.7 Jury Waiver. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.

7.8 Small Claims Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claims of General Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims court, subject to the Class Action Waiver section above.

The provisions of this Section 7. Arbitration and Dispute Terms shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties. This Section shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the Service or these Terms.

8. DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

8.1 AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, Christian Family Care and their direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and each of their respective employees, directors, members, managers, shareholders, agents, vendors, licensors, licensees, contractors, customers, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Christian Family Care Parties”) hereby disclaim and make no representations, warranties, endorsements, or promises, express or implied, in connection with, or otherwise directly or indirectly related to, without limitation, the Service, Content, Christian Family Care Licensed Elements, Submissions or other Christian Family Care products or services, except as set forth below.

8.2 EXCEPT FOR ANY SPECIFIC WARRANTIES PROVIDED HEREIN, OR IN APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS, OR AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES HEREBY FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, TITLE, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS.

8.3 NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION DOES NOT EXPAND OR LIMIT (I) ANY EXPRESS, WRITTEN PRODUCT WARRANTY OR RELATED DISCLAIMERS THAT ARE PROVIDED BY CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES OR THEIR SUPPLIERS WITH REGARD TO A PHYSICAL PRODUCT SOLD BY CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES TO YOU, OR ANY WARRANTY ON A PHYSICAL PRODUCT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW; (II) CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES’ LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY TO YOU CAUSED BY CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES TO THE EXTENT NOT WAIVABLE OR CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW; OR (III) ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES THAT IS NOT WAIVABLE OR CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

9. LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY.

9.1 AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, including personal injury or death or for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential losses or damages of any kind, including without limitation loss of profits, in connection with, or otherwise directly or indirectly related to, without limitation, the Service, Content, Christian Family Care Licensed Elements, Submissions or other Christian Family Care products or services, except to the extent not waivable under applicable law, for direct damages for personal injury caused by a physical product manufactured, sold or provided by Christian Family Care.

The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if Christian Family Care Parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused, in whole or in part, by negligence, acts of God, telecommunications failure, or destruction of the Service).

9.3 AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S).

10. UPDATES TO TERMS.

It is your responsibility to review the posted Terms and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Service (at least prior to each transaction or submission). EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF NEW TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SERVICE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE NEW TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND

TRANSACTIONS. Any new Terms or Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. In the event any notice to you of new, revised, or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You can reject any new, revised or additional terms by discontinuing use of the Service.
