If an emergency occurs during an In-person Meeting, neither the Provider nor Fast Talk Labs shall be liable for any damages resulting from any act or omission of the Provider.

A “Member” is any individual who has a Fast Talks Labs account for personal, non-commercial use. A “Membership Holder” is any Member who activates and pays the monthly subscription fees for a Membership.  

Membership provides you with access to specified Fast Talk Labs offerings.  

Any Membership recurs on a monthly basis or annually until it is canceled in accordance with these Membership Terms. Billing occurs at the beginning of the Membership cycle and provides access for one month or year thereafter. By obtaining a Membership, you acknowledge that your Membership has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Membership by you or Fast Talk Labs.  

If you choose a Monthly Membership payment plan during checkout of your first membership activation, you agree to be auto-billed every 30 days via the payment method you used during checkout until you request membership cancellation. 

If you choose an Annual Membership payment plan during checkout of your first membership activation, you agree to be auto-billed every 365 days via the payment method you used during checkout until you request membership cancellation. If you pay for your Membership annually, at your request, we will issue a refund for your annual membership within 30 days of you joining the Fast Talk Labs platform. After 30 days, we will not issue a refund, but we will try to work with you to make our membership program work better for you. Unless we mutually agree on some other resolution, your membership will remain active until the one-year anniversary.

We do not offer pro-rated refunds. 

Fast Talk Labs may offer additional promotions or discounts related to Memberships from time to time. Please read the details of those offers carefully, as any additional terms presented to you during the signup process will form part of these Membership Terms. Unless specified in writing, all discount offers that require a payment are non-refundable. Any free trial or other promotion must be used within the specified time frame of the trial or promotion. You may be required to have a valid payment method on file in order to initiate a free trial; in this case, if you do not cancel before your free trial period ends, your account will be converted to a paid Membership and will be charged in accordance with these Membership Terms.  

All information that you provide during your account registration must be accurate, including your name, address, credit, debit or charge card numbers and expiration dates, and any other payment information.

Fast Talk Labs’ use of your information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSORS IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD.  

If you terminate your Membership, you may use your Membership until the end of the then-current period and your Membership will not be renewed after that period expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Membership fee paid for the then-current Membership period. 

Fast Talk Labs may immediately terminate or suspend your account, and all or a portion of your Membership, without notice if: 

Payment 

Membership Holders agree to pay the monthly fee specified when you purchased your Membership (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). If the amount to be charged varies from the amount you pre-authorized (other than due to the imposition of, or change in, applicable sales tax), you have the right to receive, and we will provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction, unless applicable law requires you to expressly consent to the change in price. Any agreement you have with your payment provider governs your use of your specified payment method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle. Your failure to terminate and/or continued use of your Membership reaffirms that we are authorized to charge you for that Membership. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. 

You may be asked to provide a payment method (such as a credit, charge or debit card number) that we accept in order to activate your Membership, along with other payment information. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) that you provide to us. Your authorizations in this section also apply to our payment processors and any other companies who act as billing agents for us. You hereby authorize us to charge your specified payment method on a monthly basis in line with your Membership cycle, in advance, for your Membership(s) and/or to place a hold on your payment method with respect to any unpaid charges for your Membership(s). You authorize the issuer of your selected payment method to pay any amounts described herein without requiring a signed receipt, and you agree that these Membership Terms shall be accepted as authorization to the issuer of the payment method to pay any amounts described herein, without requiring a signed receipt from you. You authorize us to continue to attempt to charge and/or place holds with respect to all sums described herein, or any portion thereof, to your payment method until such amounts are paid in full. You agree to provide updated payment information upon request and any time the information you previously provided is no longer valid. You acknowledge and agree that neither Fast Talk Labs, nor any Fast Talk Labs agent, will have any liability whatsoever for any insufficient funds or other charges incurred by you as a result of attempts to charge, and/or place holds on, your specified payment method as contemplated by these Membership Terms. If you provide a debit card number instead of a credit card number, you authorize all charges described herein to be applied to such debit card unless and until you provide a credit card number.  

You agree to pay us, through our payment processors or financing partners (as applicable), all charges at the prices then in effect for any purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms presented to you at the time of purchase. You agree to make payment using the payment method you provide when you set up your account. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our payment processors or financing partners to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.  

Under certain circumstances Fast Talk Laboratories may offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. To request a membership cancellation and refund, simply email help@fasttalklabs.com. We must receive your request within 30 days of the start of your membership. 

If you believe you have been billed in error for a Membership, please notify us within 60 days of the billing date by contacting Member Support at (720) 350-4089 or emailing help@fasttalklabs.com. Fast Talk Labs will not issue refunds or credits after the expiration of this 60-day period, except where required by applicable law.  

No refunds or credits will be provided once a Member Holder’s credit card has been charged, except that at our sole discretion, refunds or credits may be granted in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific promotions, or to correct any errors we have made. 

To cancel your membership and stop being billed, simply log into your account and on the Membership Account page, click cancel. You will not be billed again unless you rejoin our membership program. Your membership will remain active until the next payment due date at which time your membership will cancel. We do not offer pro-rated refunds.

1. Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Fast Talk Labs YOU AND FAST TALK LABS MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives after the Agreement terminates or your relationship with Fast Talk Labs ends. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. 

Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Fast Talk Labs, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders. This Arbitration Agreement also applies to claims between you and Fast Talk Labs’ partners and service providers, including but not limited to payment processors; and such service providers shall be considered intended third party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement. 

Except as expressly provided below, ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND FAST TALK LABS. These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the Fast Talk Labs Platform, the Services, any other goods or services made available through the Fast Talk Labs Platform, your relationship with Fast Talk Labs, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User account or this Agreement, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Fast Talk Labs, any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Fast Talk Labs and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below. 

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND FAST TALK LABS ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate. 

2. Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. 

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND FAST TALK LABS MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND FAST TALK LABS BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUBSECTION (B) SHALL NOT APPLY TO REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST FAST TALK LABS, WHICH ARE ADDRESSED SEPARATELY IN SECTION 18(C). 

The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, then those Claims shall be severed from any remaining claims and may be brought in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible. 

3. Representative PAGA Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Arbitration Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law: you and Fast Talk Labs agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under the California PAGA, both you and Fast Talk Labs agree that any such dispute shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “representative PAGA Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of this representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement; severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the Parties agree that litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration. 

4. Rules Governing the Arbitration. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) (the “AAA Rules”) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. 

As part of the arbitration, both you and Fast Talk Labs will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. 

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Clients or Providers but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Client or Provider to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction. 

5. Arbitration Fees and Awards. The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA Rules subject to the following modifications: 

Fast Talk Labs may request the Arbitrator consider consolidating similarly situated arbitrations. 

With respect to any Claims brought by Fast Talk Labs against a Provider, or for Claims brought by a Provider against Fast Talk Labs that: are based on an alleged employment relationship between Fast Talk Labs and a Provider; arise out of, or relate to, Fast Talk Labs’ actual deactivation of a Provider’s User account or a threat by Fast Talk Labs to deactivate a Provider’s User account; arise out of, or relate to, Fast Talk Labs’ actual termination of a Provider’s Agreement with Fast Talk Labs under the termination provisions of this Agreement, or a threat by Fast Talk Labs to terminate a Provider’s Agreement; or arise out of, or relate to, Fees, Fast Talk Labs shall pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court), including the regular and customary arbitration fees and expenses (to the extent not paid by Fast Talk Labs pursuant to the fee provisions above). However, if you are the party initiating the Provider Claim, you shall be responsible for contributing up to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you provide Services to Clients, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you pursuant to the AAA Rules, applicable law, or as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator. For purposes of this Section 18(e), the term “Provider” shall be deemed to include both Healthcare Providers, Fitness Providers, and applicants to the Fast Talk Labs Platform who have not been approved to provide Services through the Fast Talk Labs Platform. Except as provided in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or any state equivalents, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and pay any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the claim(s) were litigated in a court such as costs to subpoena witnesses and/or documents, take depositions and purchase deposition transcripts, copy documents, etc.). At the end of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to you if you prevail, to the extent authorized by applicable law. Although under some laws Fast Talk Labs may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and non-filing fee expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, Fast Talk Labs agrees that it will not seek such an award. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Fast Talk Labs’ last written settlement offer made after you participated in good faith in the optional Negotiation process described in subsection (i) below, then Fast Talk Labs will pay you the amount of the award or U.S. $1,000, whichever is greater. 

Location and Manner of Arbitration. Unless you and Fast Talk Labs agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Fast Talk Labs and a Client will take place in the city and county of Denver, Colorado, and any arbitration hearings between Fast Talk Labs and a Provider will take place in the city and county of Denver. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, Fast Talk Labs agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as determined by the AAA Rules. If your Claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. 

Exceptions to Arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction; a representative action brought on behalf of others under PAGA or other private attorneys general acts, to the extent the representative PAGA Waiver in Section 18(c) of such action is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law not preempted by the FAA; and claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law not preempted by the FAA. 

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. However, should you bring an administrative claim, you may only seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to this Arbitration Provision, and you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint, except for a complaint issued by the NLRB. Should you participate in an NLRB proceeding, you may only recover money damages if such recovery does not arise from or relate to a claim previously adjudicated under this Arbitration Provision or settled by you. Similarly, you may not recover money damages under this Arbitration Provision if you have already adjudicated such claim with the NLRB. Nothing in this Agreement or Arbitration Agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision. 

Severability. In addition to the severability provisions in subsections (c) above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect. 

Optional Pre-Arbitration Negotiation Process. Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and Fast Talk Labs may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and Fast Talk Labs. A party who intends to seek negotiation under this subsection must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability or for impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation. 

Governing Law
