The agreement requires users and Ro to resolve disputes through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, with limited exceptions for intellectual property injunctive relief.

This provision requires all disputes arising from platform use or the terms themselves to proceed through individual AAA arbitration, establishing the procedural framework for how any claim against Ro must be pursued.
Interpretive note: Enforceability may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in states with healthcare-specific arbitration limitations or strong consumer protection statutes.
Under this clause, users who do not opt out within 30 days must resolve disputes with Ro through individual arbitration rather than court, and the agreement states that arbitration proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis.

"You and Ro agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, 'Disputes') will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.— Excerpt from Ro's Ro Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The Federal Arbitration Act governs the enforceability of this clause at the federal level. State consumer protection statutes in California, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions have in some contexts limited mandatory arbitration in healthcare or consumer contexts; applicable law may constrain enforcement depending on the nature of the underlying claim. The FTC has expressed regulatory interest in the use of mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer contracts. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The clause channels all consumer disputes into individual arbitration, which affects the platform's exposure to aggregate or class-based liability. The carve-out for IP injunctive relief is standard. The 30-day opt-out window is time-limited and requires written notice, which may not be prominently disclosed at the point of enrollment. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents and users in states with healthcare-specific arbitration limitations may face heightened exposure depending on whether courts in those jurisdictions enforce arbitration clauses in telehealth contexts. EU and UK users, if any, would interact with consumer protection frameworks that generally do not recognize mandatory pre-dispute arbitration waivers. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B procurement teams evaluating Ro as a healthcare vendor should note that this clause governs user-facing terms; separate vendor agreements may apply different dispute resolution mechanisms. The indemnification clause in the same document may interact with this arbitration provision in complex ways if third-party claims arise. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the opt-out mechanism and 30-day notice requirement are communicated clearly at the point of account creation or terms acceptance, and should assess whether the arbitration clause meets state disclosure requirements applicable to healthcare service providers.
