The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf, as amended by this Agreement.

The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude You from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against Focused Care for You.
You agree that this Agreement and the relationship between You and Focused Care shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflict of law principles or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
