Amgen reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder. You will cooperate fully as reasonably required in the defense of any such claim. No settlement that affects the rights or obligations of Amgen may be made without Amgen's prior written approval.

Amgen agrees to indemnify you for any direct damages that you suffer arising out of or related to any suit, action of proceeding by a third party to the extent such direct damages arise from a claim that your use of the Services in compliance with these Terms infringes a third party's U.S. patent, copyright or trademark right.

11. THIRD-PARTY SITES & SERVICES

The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social media (collectively, "Linked Services"). Linked Services are not under the control of Amgen and Amgen is not responsible for Linked Services or for any information or materials on or any form of transmission received from any Linked Service.

13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)

The law of the State of Delaware shall govern these Terms, without reference to its choice of law rules. You and Amgen agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER: YOU AND AMGEN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, AGGREGATE, MASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THAT EACH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. If any court or arbitrator determines that this Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and Amgen shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Covered Disputes (as that term is defined below). To the extent any claims are allowed to proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware, and the parties agree that the litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES: YOU AND AMGEN AGREE THAT ALL COVERED DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 13 AND THAT YOU AND AMGEN WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE ANY COURT OF LAW. RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any controversy or claim arising under or related to the Services, related in any way to your relationship with Amgen with respect to the Services, these Terms and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms, including disputes about the formation, breach, termination, interpretation, validity, scope, applicability, or enforceability of the Terms and this Arbitration Agreement and/or questions of the arbitrability of any controversy or claim brought by you or Amgen (collectively, “Covered Disputes”), whether such Covered Disputes arose before, on, or subsequent to you entering these Terms, shall be settled by binding arbitration if not resolved through the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth below. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory, in whole or in part, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Covered Disputes are subject to this Arbitration Agreement whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory. Covered Disputes shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Amgen each may seek to resolve a Covered Dispute in small claims court if and only if it qualifies for resolution in small claims court.

Rules & Governing Law: In the event of a Covered Dispute, you and Amgen each agree to send the other party a written notice of the Covered Dispute stating the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice; the facts giving rise to the Covered Dispute; and the relief requested (“Notice of Dispute”). You must send any Notice of Dispute by mail to One Amgen Center Drive, Attn: Legal Department, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91320-1799. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email address or mailing address we have for you, if any. You and Amgen agree to attempt to resolve in good faith the Covered Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days after the Notice of Dispute is received. After the end of that 30-day period and not before, you or Amgen may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amgen’s and your right to bring an individual action in small claims court shall not require an attempt to first resolve the Covered Dispute through informal negotiation.

If the parties cannot resolve the Covered Dispute informally, you and Amgen each agree that the Covered Dispute shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. All Covered Disputes shall be submitted to ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) for arbitration in the county in which you reside, by remote means, or another mutually agreeable location, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration will be administered by ADR Services in accordance with its rules and procedures, including any supplementary rules and fee schedules then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. ADR Services’ Rules are available at https://www.adrservices.com/services-2/arbitration-rules/. For information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding, you can contact ADR Services at www.adrservices.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Amgen may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware, necessary to protect the intellectual property rights of you or Amgen pending the completion of arbitration.

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that the Terms and this Arbitration Agreement evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and any proceedings under it. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and the Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and the Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of Delaware.

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Rules. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on ADR Services’ website at www.adrservices.com. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by ADR Services’ Rules.

If 20 or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration, ADR Services shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in 20 batches, with the discretion to create additional batches if ADR Services finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each as determined by ADR Services’ applicable fee schedules. You agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this batch approach to facilitate the efficient resolution of claims. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class or mass arbitrations of any kind. Amgen reserves all rights and defenses as to each and any demand and claimant. If any court or arbitrator determines that this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a mass arbitration basis, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and Amgen shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Covered Disputes.

A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with ADR Services’ Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator's decision must be with written explanation sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based, and must remain confidential.

If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 13, or a portion thereof, is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision or portion will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred.

Opt-Out Procedures: You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending Amgen a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) by mail within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms to One Amgen Center Drive, Attn: Legal Department, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91320-1799. The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms. To be effective, the Opt-Out Notice must contain your name, address, and signature. If you opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with Amgen.

If any Covered Dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings concerning such Covered Dispute shall be the federal and state courts of competent jurisdiction in Delaware.

Changes to Arbitration Agreement: Amgen may change this Arbitration Agreement, or the policies referred to herein, at its discretion. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13, if Amgen changes any of the terms of the Arbitration Agreement after the date you first accepted the Arbitration Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Arbitration Agreement), you may reject any such change by sending Amgen a written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the Effective Date above. This written notice must be provided by mail to One Amgen Center Drive, Attn: Legal Department, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91320-1799. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name, address, and signature, and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate Covered Disputes between you and Amgen in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Arbitration Agreement (or to any subsequent changes to the Arbitration Agreement).

14. SECURITIES LAWS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Services website may include statements concerning Amgen's operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance and demand for Amgen's products or services, as well as its intentions, plans and objectives, all of which should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, are inherently uncertain, or are difficult to predict. When used on or in the Services, words like “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “plans,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements designed to fall within securities law safe harbors for forward-looking statements. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecasted by our forward-looking statements. We do not have any intention or obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements included in the Services website. The Services and the information contained herein do not constitute an offer or a solicitation of an offer for sale of any securities. None of the information contained herein is intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be, incorporated into any of Amgen's securities-related filings or documents.

You acknowledge that you may not be able to access or use the Services in other locations and that access thereto or use thereof may not be legal. If you access or use the Services from other locations, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

The Services may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. You shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export or release the Services to, or make the Services accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export or release is prohibited by law, rule or regulation. You shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations and rules and complete all required undertakings, including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval, prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing or otherwise making the Services available outside the United States.

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Please note: By agreeing to these Terms, you explicitly agree that any claims or actions that you may otherwise have against Amgen under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States are hereby waived and that your sole location and applicable law for any dispute is in the United States according to the terms of Section 13.

16. DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION

Please make sure that you carefully read our Privacy Statement, which is incorporated into and made a part of these Terms, to learn about the information that Amgen collects through the Services and how we process it.

17. US GOVERNMENT RIGHTS

Certain parts of the Services are commercial computer software, as such term is defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if you are an agency of the US Government or any contractor thereof, you receive only those rights with respect to the Services as are granted to all other users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.

18. TERMINATION

These Terms automatically terminate when you fail to comply with any term or condition of them. Amgen may terminate or modify your access to the Services, with or without notice to you, at any time for any reason. For example, access to the Services may be denied without notice if Amgen believes that you are a minor.

Termination will not limit any of Amgen's other rights or remedies. Any provision that must survive in order to give proper effect to the intent and purpose of these Terms (including but not limited to Sections 6, 7, 13, 16, 19 and 20) shall survive termination.

19. APPLE DEVICE ADDITIONAL TERMS

If you access an App via a mobile device or tablet branded by Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) and running Apple's iOS (an "Apple Device"), the following terms (“Apple Device Additional Terms”) are hereby made part of these Terms:

  1. Conflicting Terms. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Device Additional Terms, then the Apple Device Additional Terms shall apply with respect to access and use of the Services via an Apple Device.
  2. Agreement with Amgen, Not Apple. You acknowledge that these Terms are an agreement between Amgen and you, and not with Apple. Amgen, not Apple, is solely responsible for any App you access via your Apple Device (“iOS App”) and the content thereof.
