Term, Termination, and Survivability

The Terms will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or the Company; however, you acknowledge and agree that the perpetual license granted by you in relation to User Content, including Feedback, is irrevocable and will therefore continue after expiration or termination of any of the Agreement for any reason.

Entire Agreement

Other than as stated in this section, or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and the Company, the Agreement constitutes all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and the Company and supersedes any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.

Certain aspects of your use of the Service Offerings may be governed by additional agreements. When you are presented with an offer for such aspects of your use, you will be presented with any related additional agreement, and you may have an opportunity to agree to additional terms. To the extent that there is any irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and these Terms, the additional terms shall prevail.

 

Severability, Waiver, and Interpretation
Unless, as otherwise stated in the Agreement, should any provision of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

Any failure of the Company or any third-party beneficiary to enforce the Agreement, or any provision thereof, shall not waive the Company’s, nor the third party beneficiary’s, right to do so.

As used in these Terms, the words “include” and “including,” and any variations thereof, will be determined to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

Assignment

The Company may assign the Agreement, and any of its rights under the Agreement, in whole or in part, and the Company may delegate any of its obligations under the Agreement.

You may not assign the Agreement, in whole or in part, nor transfer or sub-license your rights under the Agreement, to any third party.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind, including reasonable attorney fees and costs, arising out of or related to (1) your breach of the Agreement or any part therein; (2) any User Content you submit or otherwise contribute; (3) any activity in which you engage on or through the Service Offerings; and (4) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

 

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Agreement, and any non-contractual disputes and/or claims arising out of or in connection with them, are subject to the laws of the state of Georgia, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles. Further, you and the Company agree to the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with the Agreement and any non-contractual disputes and/or claims relating to, or arising in connection with, them, and is not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 18.2.

 

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and the Company arising in connection with, or relating in any way to, this Agreement or to your relationship with the Company as a user of the Service Offerings, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreement, will be determined by mandatory binding individual arbitration. You and the Company further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including attorney fees, except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreement.

18.2.2 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the clause directly above, you and the Company both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring individual action in am United States small claims court; or, (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary, individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement does not stop you or the Company from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf, or you on Our behalf.

 

Arbitration Rules

Either you or the Company may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and the Company will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) then in force (the “AAA Rules“), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and the Company agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, despite the choice of law provision above.

If you choose to file an arbitration proceeding, and you are required to pay a filing fee, the Company will reimburse you for that filing fee, unless your claim is greater than US $5,000, in which case you will be responsible for the filing fee. Each party will be responsible for any other arbitration fees, unless otherwise required by AAA Rules or court order. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

 

Notice and Process

Any party who intends to seek arbitration must first send written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail with signature required, or in the event that We do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (the “Notice“). The Company’s address for notice is:

Attn: Massiah Law & Associates
National Democratic Training Committee
1050 17th Street NW Suite 590
Atlanta, GA 30328

The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand“). Both parties agree to use good faith efforts directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or the Company shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of the Company’s last written settlement offer, then the Company will instead pay you either the amount of the award or $1,000, whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

 

Enforceability

If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in this Agreement shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to the Agreement.

 

No Class or Representative Proceedings

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and the Company agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award 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. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim, and only that claim, must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
