14. New York Law Applies
The laws of the State of New York apply to everything relating to MATIXdental’s and MATIXdental’ relationship to you. This means that any and all disputes, claims and controversies arising out of or relating to MATIXdental, including the sale of products, content, services, or technology, on or used through MATIXdental, shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of New York applicable to contracts made, entered into and performed entirely therein, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions (except for Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
15. Disputes/Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. MATIXdental and you agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions in this section 15.
For purposes of this section 15, we will use the capitalized word “Dispute” to mean any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), MATIXdental, your (or anybody else’s) access to and/or use of MATIXdental, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through MATIXdental.
In the event of a Dispute, MATIXdental or you must give the other notice of the Dispute. This notice must include a brief written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, as well as the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to MATIXdental by email to legal@MATIXdental.com and by U.S. Mail to MATIXdental.com, Inc., Legal Notice, to: 700 S Flower Street Suite 2990, Los Angeles, CA 90017. To the extent that MATIXdental has your contact information, it will send any such notice to you by U.S. Mail and your email address.
We will try to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that any notice of Dispute is sent by email and U.S. Mail. MATIXdental and you shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through consultation and good faith negotiations. After 30 days, MATIXdental or you may resort to the other alternatives described in this section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disputes concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of MATIXdental shall not be subject to arbitration, and the notice and 30-day negotiation period required by this paragraph shall not apply to these types of Disputes.
Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any Dispute of any kind, if unresolved through informal discussions within 30 days of the sending of the notice described above, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in the U.S. state in which you reside. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in New York, New York, and MATIXdental and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778-7879.
You are responsible for all costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, filing fees, attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless MATIXdental is specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on MATIXdental and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. MATIXdental and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney’s fees. MATIXdental and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, MATIXdental and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. MATIXdental and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If MATIXdental’s or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.
You or MATIXdental may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over you and MATIXdental otherwise qualifies for such small claims court and where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to still provide MATIXdental 30-day advance notice by email to legal@MATIXdental.com and by U.S. Mail to MATIXdental.com, Inc., Legal Notice, to: 700 S Flower Street Los Angeles Suite 2990, CA 90017.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the provisions requiring arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to MATIXdental by email to legal@MATIXdental.com AND by U.S. Mail to dentomatix.com,LLC 700 S Flower Street Los Angeles Suite 2990, CA 90017. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of MATIXdental. If you do not opt out via this method, you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the provisions requiring arbitration, MATIXdental will not be bound by them either. If any clause within this Disputes/Arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect. In any event, if for any reason a Dispute between MATIXdental and you is before a court (e.g., if the arbitration provisions are found unenforceable or if pursuant to these Terms of Use the matter is not subject to arbitration), MATIXdental and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
This Disputes/Arbitration section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of MATIXdental, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of MATIXdental, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms of Use (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), MATIXdental, any person’s access to and/or use of MATIXdental, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through MATIXdental.
16. Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
For purposes of this section 16, we will also use the capitalized word “Dispute” to mean any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), MATIXdental, your (or anybody else’s) access to and/or use of MATIXdental, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through MATIXdental. MATIXdental and you agree to resolve any Dispute will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. MATIXdental and you further agree to not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any Dispute with a third party.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in New York County, New York.
If any clause within this Class Action Waiver section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.
This Class Action Waiver section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of MATIXdental, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of MATIXdental, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims is a Dispute.

In the event of any failure of the iOS version of the app to conform to any applicable warranty that has not been effectively disclaimed by these Terms of Use, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and, as between Apple and MATIXdental, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty of MATIXdental will be MATIXdental’s responsibility, but only to the extent provided by these Terms of Use. Please read our entire Terms of Use, as other sections of these Terms of Use limit MATIXdental’s liability in this regard.
Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use with respect to your compliance with this section. Upon your acceptance of these Terms of Use, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms of Use against you as a third party beneficiary thereof. There are no other third-party beneficiaries of the Terms.
20. Entire Agreement and Admissibility; Applicability to Sellers
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and MATIXdental with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. A printed version of these Terms of Use shall be admissible in judicial, arbitral, or administrative proceedings to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
If you access or use MATIXdental in your capacity as a registered MATIXdental retail partner (i.e., a seller who has registered with MATIXdental to sell products on MATIXdental, or a vendor whose own site is powered by a MATIXdental e-commerce engine), then the MATIXdental Retail Partner Agreement will apply to you in connection with such access and use, not these Terms of Use. When a MATIXdental retail partner or other MATIXdental supplier accesses or uses MATIXdental in any other capacity (e.g., as a shopper), these Terms of Use apply and not the MATIXdental Retail Partner Agreement.
21. Miscellaneous
You may not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms of Use, by operation of law or otherwise, without MATIXdental’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing restriction, these Terms of Use will be binding on, inure to, and enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. MATIXdental may assign these Terms of Use in its sole discretion by providing you notice of the same. For example, MATIXdental may unconditionally assign or otherwise transfer these Terms of Use to any successor in interest, such as an acquirer of a MATIXdental company (via merger, sale of stock, etc.) or a buyer of substantially all of its assets. Likewise, in the event of a sale or transfer of a user’s business, pertinent information may be transferred about that corporation (locations, inventory, etc.) upon written consent to MATIXdental by email to admin@MATIXdental.com and by U.S. Mail to Dentomatix.com, LLC. to: 700 S Flower Street Suite 2990, Los Angeles, CA 90017.
Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of any section.
MATIXdental’s failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of MATIXdental’s right to enforce such provision or any other provision of these Terms of Use.
If any provision of this agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the agreement will remain in place, except as explained in the second-to-last paragraphs of the “Disputes/Arbitration” and “Class Action Waiver” sections.
