These Terms are a binding agreement.

In some cases, a Student User’s school program will pay the Exxat Plans fees. You are responsible for communicating with your school about the Exxat Plans.
2. If a school program, on behalf of a Student User, or Student User purchases an APPROVE Plan, the purchaser will be charged the subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes and other charges (“Subscription Fee”) at the beginning of the APPROVE Plan and annually thereafter. All amounts are quoted in and must be paid in U.S. Dollars.

You may also be required to enter into one or more agreements with the Payment Providers. Exxat is not a party to any Payment Provider agreement and will not be liable or responsible for the payment services provided by the Payment Provider.

At any time, and for any reason, we will provide a refund, discount, or other considerations to some or all of our users. The amount and form of such refunds, discounts, or other considerations, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole discretion.

19. Governing Law

1. These Terms and any matter arising out of or relating to these Terms, and any claim, cause of action, controversy, or matter in dispute between you and us, whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, regulation, or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California in the United States, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to any choice or conflict of laws principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction). You and Exxat agree that, except as otherwise provided below, the state and federal courts located in the County and City of ​​Los Angeles, California will have exclusive jurisdiction of all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Service and agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exxat shall be allowed to apply for equitable remedies (including injunctions) in any jurisdiction.

20. Dispute Resolution

1. Concerns. Most user concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us at the contact details in Section 23 (Contact Information).
2. Arbitration Procedures. In the event your concern cannot be resolved informally, you and Exxat agree that, except as provided in Section 20(e) below, all Disputes, (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in Section 20 (Dispute Resolution) and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section will control and prevail.
   
   Except as otherwise set forth in Section 20(e) below, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state, or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Exxat will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given, and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, (i) you and Exxat may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.
   
   IN THE CASE OF ARBITRATION AND WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
3. Location. The arbitration will take place in the County and City of Los Angeles, California unless the parties agree to video, phone, or internet connection appearances.
4. Limitations. You and Exxat agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between Exxat and you individually. YOU AND EXXAT AGREE THAT (i) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (ii) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (iii) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
5. Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Exxat agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (i) any Excluded Dispute; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
6. Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we initiate arbitration for a Claim, we will pay the costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.
7. Severability. You and Exxat agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 20(e)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 20(e) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Exxat will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 20(e) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County and City of Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and you and Exxat agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

21. Other Important Terms

1. Assignment. The rights granted to you under these Terms may not be assigned without Exxat’s prior written consent, and any attempted unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.
2. Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 20(g), if any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of the Terms shall be given full force and effect.
3. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation or arbitration is brought by either party in connection with these Terms, except as otherwise provided in Section 20(f), the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in any legal action relating to these Terms.
4. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect our right to enforce the same provision at a later time. An express waiver by Exxat of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms shall not be understood as a waiver of your obligation to comply with the same provision, condition, or requirement at a later time.
5. Equitable Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that Exxat would be irreparably damaged if the terms of these Terms were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to any breach of these Terms, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
6. Entire Agreement. These Terms, including the documents referenced in these Terms, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Exxat with respect to the Service and supersedes any and all prior agreements between you and Exxat relating to the Service.
7. Transfer. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organization, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
