IV. Agreed Usage and Limitations Of iQi Services
a. Intended Use of iQi Services.
The Services are intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and control of iQi products. While we aim for the Services to be highly reliable and available, they are not intended to be reliable or available 100% of the time. The Services are subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond iQi’s control, including Wi-Fi intermittency, service provider uptime, mobile notifications and carriers, among others. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that iQi is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Services to reflect current status or notifications.
b. No Life-Safety or Critical Uses of the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that the Products and Services, whether standing alone or when interfaced with third-party products or services are not certified for emergency response. Our products are not medical types of equipment and iQi, Inc is not responsible for any decision you make based on the results. These devices are only to be used as preliminary screening devices to understand potential building health issues. Further evaluation by a concerned professional is highly recommended before any corrective action is taken and before you make any health-related decisions we highly recommend you consult with your Doctor. iQi makes no warranty or representation that use of the Products or Services, including integration with any third-party product or service, will affect or increase any level of safety. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, WHETHER STANDING ALONE OR INTERFACED WITH THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM -- iQi WILL NOT DISPATCH EMERGENCY AUTHORITIES TO YOUR HOME IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. In addition, the iQi customer support contacts cannot be considered a lifesaving solution for people at risk in the home, and they are no substitute for emergency services. All life threatening and emergency events should be directed to the appropriate response services.

1. BLDG.Health Testing Disclaimer:
The results in this analysis pertain only to this job, collected on the stated date, and should not be used in the interpretation of any other job. The findings of this Report are based on the condition of the area within the scope of the sample collected at the specified date and time. 
Customers are solely responsible for the sample collection and information about the building, sampling location, environmental details, and additional details entered by them. iQi, Inc will not be responsible for any sample collection errors made by the customer. Our IEP interpretations are purely based on the lab results and the information shared by the customer about their building and the location and the condition of the sample collected. This report may not be duplicated, except in full, without the written consent of iQi, Inc. 
All information provided to iQi, Inc is confidential information relating to our customers and their clients. We will not disclose, copy, or distribute any information verbally or written, except to those designated by the customer(s). We take confidentiality very seriously. No changes to the distribution list will be made without the express consent of the customer.
iQi, Inc bears no responsibility for sample collection activities, analytical method limitations, or the use of the test results. Interpretation and use of test results are the customer's responsibility. Any reference to health effects or interpretation of mold levels is strictly the opinion of iQi, Inc. In no event shall iQi, Inc or any of its employees be liable for lost profits or any special, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of the use of these test results. iQi, Inc. assumes no liability or warranty on the use of or interpretation of the data provided within this report. The responsibility lies solely with the client for the use and interpretation of the results provided herein. Results of the analysis and comments or written expressions can only be on a limited basis that is solely based on the Sample submitted by the customer. 
As with all similar testing methodologies, this limited sampling is a capture of conditions on the subject property on the date of the sample collected. Accordingly, conditions and results from those conditions may change at any time. Therefore, this report may not accurately reflect environmental conditions on this property at any future date.

Our sensors require a period of adjustment to acclimate to their surrounding environment, and the duration of this initial warm-up phase may vary depending on specific environmental conditions. We advise users to allow sufficient time for this adjustment period before relying on sensor readings for reports. Please note that the values provided by our sensors serve as indicative measurements and should not be construed as precise or absolute. The accuracy of these sensors is influenced by the environment in which they are deployed, and the stated error rates and accuracy levels are intended to offer a general expectation of performance under typical conditions. Users should consider these factors when interpreting sensor data.

   2. Health Effects:
The information contained in our report is for informational and educational purposes only. While it is based on professional advice, published experience, and expert opinion, it does not represent a health diagnosis, therapeutic recommendation, or prescription for treatment. We urge you to consult and obtain medical advice from a licensed, trained, and competent medical provider for concerns with health issues. A second opinion of test sample lab results should be obtained if any doubts are present with regard to the information or recommendations contained in this report. In cases where human occupants have been feeling adverse health issues while spending time within their place of work or home, it is extremely important that sampling results and recommendations for cleaning/remediation are reviewed with their medical authority. The attached comments are what we believe to be a general approach for cleaning the built environment and associated contents by remediating contaminants/molds and/or toxins. Based on the client’s health position and/or sensitivity to various environments, there is no guarantee that an environment remediated and cleaned to a normal fungal ecology will be acceptable to the client. Furthermore, in some cases where we have provided recommendations that involve the cleaning of the ambient areas that were conditioned through the HVAC filter system as the laboratory results and the history of events at the property as told to us by our client. These recommendations are to serve as a foundation for cleaning and in some cases, more cleaning may be necessary per the advice and consultation of the client’s medical authority. With regards to furniture and contents, some porous items (i.e., textiles, clothing, couches, mattresses, pillows, etc.) are extremely difficult to clean properly; any items that cannot be cleaned successfully and want to be kept should be discussed with the client’s medical authority. Inhalation of fungal spores, fragments (parts), or metabolites (e.g: Mycotoxins and volatile organic compounds) from a wide variety of fungi may lead to or exacerbate immunologic (allergic) reactions, cause toxic effects, or cause infections. Illnesses can result from both high levels with short-term exposure and low levels, with long-term exposures. The most common symptoms reported from exposures in indoor environments are runny nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, aggravation of asthma, headache, and fatigue. Whether symptoms develop in people exposed to fungi depends on the nature of the fungal material (e.g., allergenic, toxic, or infectious), the amount of exposure, and the susceptibility of exposed persons. Susceptibility varies with the genetic predisposition (e.g., allergic reactions do not always occur in all individuals), age, state of health, and concurrent exposures. 
For these reasons and because measurements of exposure are not standardized and biological markers of exposure to fungi are largely unknown, it is not possible to determine “safe” or “unsafe” levels of exposure for the general population. As a result, it is highly recommended that exposure levels be discussed with your doctor. In cases where clients have been feeling adverse health issues while spending time within the home, it is extremely important that sampling results and recommendations for cleaning/remediation are reviewed with their medical authority. The attached recommendations are what we believe to be a very comprehensive approach for cleaning the built environment and associated contents by remediating molds and toxins. In some cases, we have provided recommendations that involve the cleaning of belongings and sentimental items because of the laboratory results and the history of events at the property as told to us by our client. These recommendations are ultimately to serve as a basis of a foundation for cleaning and in some cases, more cleaning may be necessary per the advice and consultation of the client’s medical authority. 

   3. Limitations & Exclusions:
All the professional opinions presented in our reports are based solely on the scope of the test results (Lab results or sensor readings as applicable based on the service offered) and sources referred to in our report. The data presented by iQi, Inc. in this report was collected and analyzed using generally accepted industry methods and practices at the time the analysis and lab results were generated. Based on the best available investigative technologies, no amount of assessment can guarantee that the subject environment does not contain indoor biological contaminants in concentrations that can impair human health. Given the limited scope of services for this sampling process, all potential areas of air contaminants, microbial, bacterial, and virus growth may not have been assessed. This report represents the conditions that were observed at the time the test was conducted. The suggestive comments expressed in the sample could be a representation of the conditions which might exist on the property. No inference regarding other conditions, locations, or materials at a later or earlier time may be made based on the contents of the report. No warranty is made. Fungi/mold/pathogens/allergens will grow back if given all the right conditions exist and if not corrected and/or high relative humidity exists and is not controlled. A further assessment is recommended for various organisms within the indoor ambient environment in which the air quality was supplied through the ventilation system. Therefore, it is possible that mold spore growth inside enclosed wall cavities, insulation, attic spaces, or other areas could exist beyond the inquiry of the activities conducted during this site assessment. In addition, environmental changes, either naturally occurring or artificially induced, may cause changes or alterations (which can be significant) to the property as compared to the conditions present at the time that this assessment was conducted. iQi, Inc. and that of its contractors and subcontractors arising from any services rendered hereunder shall not exceed the fee paid by the client to iQi, Inc. This report was prepared for the sole use of our client. The use of this report by anyone other than our client or iQi, Inc., is strictly prohibited without the expressed written consent of iQi, Inc., and portions of this report may not be used independently of the entire report. A second opinion of the site conditions present should be obtained if any doubts are present with regard to the information or recommendations contained in this report. The service contract and the limitations standards specified therein are an integral part of this report. All opinions, conclusions, recommendations, and considerations in this report and verbalized to clients are given within a reasonable degree of professional certainty.

XII. Disputes and Arbitration
‍a. Contact iQi First.
If a dispute arises between you and iQi, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns. You agree that you will notify iQi about any dispute you have with iQi regarding these Terms or our Products or Services by contacting iQi.

b. Equipment, ISP, and Carrier.
You and iQi agree, subject to the Protection of Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights clause of these Terms, to submit any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services to binding arbitration rather than by filing any lawsuit in any forum other than set forth in this section. Further, you agree arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. You also waive your right to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any court or other judicial authority, insofar as such waiver may be validly made. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Subject to the Protection of Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights clause of these Terms, any dispute or claim made by you against us or us against you arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration except that you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Arbitration Procedures:
You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting iQi to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days after presenting the claim or dispute to iQi. iQi may request arbitration against you at any time after it has notified you of a claim or dispute in accordance with the Notifications section of these Terms. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this agreement. The place of any arbitration will be Palo Alto, California, USA, and will be conducted in the English language. Claims will be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, award punitive or consequential damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you, nor iQi nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

d. No Class Actions.
There shall be no right or authority for any claims subject to this arbitration clause to be arbitrated on a class action or consolidated basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public (including, but not limited to, as a private attorney general).Any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH INDIVIDUAL’s CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and iQi agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 

e. Fees and Expenses.
All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and iQi. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration hearing.
YOU MUST CONTACT IQI WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A DISPUTE, OR YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIM BASED UPON SUCH EVENT, FACTS, OR DISPUTE.
