Governing Law & Venue

All matters relating to the Site, Company Content, User Content or these Terms including any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any dispute between the parties not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of Los Angeles.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

Most patron concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting our customer service department at info@gamechangersinstitute.com. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

If the parties cannot resolve a dispute arising out of or about these Terms, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association, or a similar arbitration service selected by the parties, in a location mutually agreed upon by the parties. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's award shall be final, the prevailing party may recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms.

Class Action Waiver

Any arbitration under these Terms will take place individually. Class arbitrations and class / representative / collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and Game Changers Institute agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Federal Arbitration Act

You and Game Changers Institute agree these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 18 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Game Changers Institute agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Game Changers Institute shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Game Changers Foundation, Attn: General Counsel, 28241 Crown Valley Pkwy. Suite F202, Laguna Niguel, California 92677. Your notice must include: (i) name, address, telephone number, an email address, (ii) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the dispute, and (iii) the specific relief you are seeking. Our notice will be sent electronically under these Terms and will include: (a) our name, address, telephone number and an email address; (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the dispute; and (c) specific relief you are seeking. If you and Game Changers cannot agree how to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the party, then either you or Game Changers Institute may under this section, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in the relevant section of these Terms, file a claim in court.

Process

Except for disputes arising out of or related to disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Game Changers agree that any dispute must be commenced or filed by you or Game Changers Institute within one (1) year of the date the dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (so you and Game Changers will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the dispute). You and Game Changers Institute agree that (i) any arbitration will occur in the State of California, County of Los Angeles, (ii) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The AAA rules are incorporated by reference, and (iii) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the Los Angeles, California which shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA rules, the arbitrator will have: (i) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a dispute, including the determination of whether a dispute is arbitrable; and (ii) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

Rules of American Arbitration Association

The rules of AAA and additional information about AAA are available on the AAA website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (i) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of AAA, or (ii) waive your opportunity to read the rules of AAA and any claim that the rules of AAA are unfair or should not apply.

Severability

If any term, clause or provision of this section on arbitration is held invalid or unenforceable, then to the minimum extent required by law, all other terms, clauses and provisions will remain valid and enforceable.

Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the relevant sections of these Terms by writing to: Game Changers Foundation, Attn: General Counsel, 28241 Crown Valley Pkwy. Suite F202, Laguna Niguel, California 92677. To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting-out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes under the alternative processes set out in these Terms.

Claim Limitation

Any claim under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, failure to bring a claim or cause of action after one (1) year will bar (prohibit) you from pursuing the claim. No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party may have reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.

No waiver by Company of any term or condition shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent, so the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

Severability and Entire Agreement

Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, if any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. These Terms including the Privacy NOTICEs set forth the entire understanding between you and us and supersede all prior understandings and agreements of the parties.

The following Sections survive any termination of this User Agreement: Fees, Content, Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Release, Indemnity, Legal Disputes, and General.
