Last updated August 24th, 2024

The following Terms of Use (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern your access to and use of the Advanced Practice Nursing Specialists, LLC (APNS) website to access professional medical services provided by Another Way Holdings, LLC and its affiliated subsidiaries, (“Provider(s)” and together, “APNS”) and all other services (hereinafter the “Services”).

The Site facilitates communication between patients and Providers.

10. Disputes

If a dispute of any kind arises, we want to understand and address your concerns quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact info@advancedpracticenursingspecialists.com with any dispute. If we cannot resolve your concerns, we agree to an informal and inexpensive dispute resolution process requiring individual arbitration. “Disputes” between you and APNS, including its processors, suppliers or licensors or their respective affiliates, agents, directors, or employees, are defined for the purposes of these Terms to include any claim, controversy, or dispute (whether involving contract, tort, equitable, statutory, or any other legal theory) between you and APNS including, but not limited to, any claims relating in any way to these Terms (including its breach, termination, or interpretation), any other aspect of our relationship, APNS advertising, and any use of APNS services.

11. Binding Individual Arbitration

You and APNS agree to arbitrate all Disputes. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST APNS. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All Disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by JAMS, according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in Las Vegas, Nevada, or another mutually agreeable location, or a location ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, APNS will not seek to have you pay its attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and APNS also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, and assigns. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in Nevada.

12. Requests for Information

If you contact APNS and request information about our programs or services, we will use your email or postal address to provide the information you requested. You agree that we may use and share information you provide us as described in our Privacy Policy (available at www.advancedpracticenursingspecialists.com).

13. Limitation on Time to Initiate a Dispute

Unless otherwise required by law, an action or proceeding by you relating to any Dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.

14. Assignment, Survival, Waiver, and Severability

You may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without APNS’s prior written consent. APNS may assign all or part of this Agreement. All sections of this Agreement which, by their nature, are designed to survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to the recitals, notices, and limitation of liability clauses, shall survive. No waiver of any of these terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

15. Entire Agreement; Amendment

Except as expressly provided in these Terms, these terms are a complete statement of the agreement between you and APNS, and they describe the entire liability of APNS and its vendors and suppliers and your exclusive remedy with respect to your access and use of this Site. It may not be modified except as described elsewhere in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any other APNS agreement or policy, these Terms shall prevail on the subject matter of these Terms. If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
