What it is

The agreement requires any claim arising from use of the services or the terms to be filed within one year of the event giving rise to the claim, which may be shorter than the statutory limitations period applicable under state or federal law.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision contractually shortens the period within which users may assert claims against Walgreens to one year, which is materially shorter than many states' default statutory limitations periods for contract, tort, or consumer protection claims. The document qualifies this with 'to the extent permitted by applicable law,' acknowledging potential enforceability limits by jurisdiction.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of the one-year contractual limitations period varies by jurisdiction; applicable state consumer protection law may supersede this provision in states that prohibit contractual shortening of statutory limitations periods.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, consumers must assert any claim related to Walgreens' services or these terms within one year of the triggering event, regardless of the longer statutory limitations period that might otherwise apply under state or federal law. The one-year period begins on the date of the event giving rise to the claim.
