10. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. Except as otherwise expressly outlined in Section 2 below (“Informal Dispute Resolution”) and Section 3 (“We Both Agree to Arbitrate”) below, the exclusive jurisdiction for any and all disputes, claims, or controversies 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”) that you and Progeny are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you and Progeny each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

 

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. We want to address your concerns without litigation or other formal proceedings. Before filing a claim against Progeny Virtual Classroom you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting support@progenyvirtualclassroom.com and providing us with reasonably detailed information concerning your issue. We will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Progeny may bring a formal proceeding in accordance with these Terms.

 

WE BOTH AGREE TO ARBITRATE. This Section applies to United States users.

a. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any Disputes will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Progeny Virtual Classroom agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and that you and Progeny are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms. 

b. Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 3(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

c. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement.

d. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

e. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 3(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.

f. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND PROGENY VIRTUAL CLASSROOM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 3 (“We Both Agree to Arbitrate”) shall be null and void.

g. Severability. Except as expressly stated in Section 3(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Section 3 (“We Both Agree to Arbitrate”) is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section 3 will still apply.

12. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Progeny Virtual Classroom from any and all claims, suits, actions, losses, costs, damages, and any other liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of Progeny Virtual Classroom; (b) any violation of the rights of any other person or entity by you, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; or (c) your breach of any part of these Terms. Progeny will attempt to provide you with written notice of any such matter; however, any failure or delay by Progeny to do so does not negate your defense or indemnification obligations or waive Progeny’s rights to seek payment or defense or indemnification from you. Progeny Virtual Classroom reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with Progeny in our defense of these claims. You will not settle any claim that affects Progeny or our affiliates without our prior written approval.

 

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PROGENY VIRTUAL CLASSROOM WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATIONS OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT; (D) ANY INFORMATION POSTED ON THE SERVICES; OR (E) PROGENY’S DECISION TO PUBLISH OR REMOVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES; IN EACH CASE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT PROGENY OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDER HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, IN NO EVENT SHALL PROGENY TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES EXCEED: (1) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO ACCESS THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF YOUR CLAIM, OR (2) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. 

 

The limitations of liability set forth in this Section are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between you and us and will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms, and will apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms (and any other policies we refer to in this document) make up the entire agreement between you and Progeny Virtual Classroom and supersede any prior agreement. If any part of these Terms are found to be unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. If Progeny fails to enforce any part of these Terms, such a failure does not constitute a waiver. Except as expressly stated in Section 3(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Progeny’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Progeny may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
