In no event shall the company’s aggregate liability arising out of or related to this agreement, whether arising out of or related to breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, exceed the total of the amounts paid to the company for the services sold hereunder.

  7. Dispute Resolution:  This agreement and its interpretation, and all controversies arising hereunder, shall be governed by the applicable statutory and common law of the state of Oregon.  The parties hereby agree that any dispute that may arise between the Parties, including a breach of any provision in this contract, shall be settled by confidential binding arbitration in Portland, Oregon by a single attorney. Such arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules (CARs) of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

If Customer is a Covered Entity under The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), Customer waives any Claims it may have against the Company arising out of or in connection with HIPAA requirements and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against any and all Claims that are related to or arise from failure to comply with HIPAA requirements.
