- Mandatory Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial
a. Any claim, dispute, or controversy arising from or relating to the Site or these Terms (or any prior agreement between you and us with respect to the Site), or the relationships which result from these Terms (whether a tort or statutory claim, or a claim seeking monetary, equitable, or other relief) (“Claim(s)”), will be resolved by neutral binding arbitration administered by the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”), under the Code of Procedure (“Code”) of the NAF in effect at the time the Claim is filed. Claims include past, present, and future Claims. Any such arbitration will take place at a location within the United States federal judicial district in which you reside and will apply the substantive law set forth below. Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class action. The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, and to participate in a class action or other proceeding involving multiple claimants, but they choose to have any disputes decided through individual arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creative World Schools may seek injunctive or equitable relief through a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any misuse of its intellectual property or any misuse of its Site or systems, without the posting of a bond, proof of damages, or other similar requirement.
b. The decision of the arbitrator will be a final and binding resolution of the Claim. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1–16. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
- Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the state of Florida, without regards for its conflict of law principles. Except for any arbitration expressly set forth above, venue is exclusively in the state or federal courts, as applicable, with jurisdiction over Lee County, Florida, with respect to any dispute arising under these Terms unless otherwise determined by Creative World School in its sole discretion and the parties expressly agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Any cause of action or other claim with respect to the Site must be commenced within one year after the cause of action or claim arises.
- Assignment. We may assign our rights and delegate our duties under these Terms at any time to any party without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
- Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms do not confer any rights, remedies, or benefits upon any person other than you, except that our affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.
- Interpretation. These Terms, including our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Creative World School with respect to your access to and use of the Site. Creative World School’s failure to enforce any provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Creative World School. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be considered severable from the remaining provisions and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms. These Terms will inure to the benefit of Creative World School’s successors and assigns.
- Survival. Any provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive termination (including any provisions regarding indemnification or limitation of our liability) will continue in effect beyond any termination of these Terms or of your access to the Site.
- Electronic Communications. These Terms and any other documentation, agreements, notices, or communications between you and Creative World School may be provided to you electronically to the extent permissible by law.
