6. Third-party websites and content
This Website may contain links to websites not operated by Solventum. We provide these links for your convenience, but we do not review, control, or monitor the materials on any other websites. These websites may contain information about uses of our products or solutions that we do not control or endorse. We are not responsible for the performance of those websites or for your business dealings with them. Your use of other websites is subject to the terms of use of those websites, including the privacy notices of those websites.
7. Arbitration/Class (Group) waiver
Other than claims relating to trade secrets, patents, copyright, or trademarks, you and Solventum agree to submit all disputes between you relating to your access and use of the Website on an individual basis and through binding arbitration. You may opt-out of this arbitration section by sending an e-mail to WebsiteNotices@solventum.com. This agreement to arbitrate memorialises a transaction in interstate commerce, and the US Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
In the event of a dispute, the claiming part must send the other a notice including a written summary of the dispute. Within 60 calendar days, the parties shall engage in a good faith informal dispute resolution conference. To the extent the parties cannot achieve an informal resolution, either party may proceed to arbitration as described in this section.
The arbitration shall be confidential, closed to the public, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“AAA Commercial Rules”), and other applicable rules, including the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Consumer Rules”). All disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any national, federal, state, provincial, territorial, reginal, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and this section. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Unless otherwise required by law, the arbitration shall take place in Delaware. In all hearings, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information may be allowed during the arbitration pursuant to the AAA Commercial Rules and AAA Consumer Rules.
To the extent you participate in a mass arbitration action (such as claims brought by the same law firm on behalf of multiple individuals), the parties will negotiate and agree upon special arbitration terms, and Solventum reserves the right to withdraw from this arbitration section.
Finally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you may only bring disputes against Solventum in court or arbitration on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class (group) member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
8. Other rules about this website
Other than those disputes governed by Section 7, you agree that the only proper jurisdiction and venue for any dispute with Solventum, or in any way relating to your use of this Website, is in the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware, United States of America. You further agree and consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in these courts in connection with any dispute involving Solventum or its affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, or suppliers.
These terms are governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles, and the federal laws of the United States.
