17.2 Limitation of Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL EDUONGO’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’, CONTRACTORS’, EMPLOYEES’, AGENTS’, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS’ OR SUPPLIERS’ LIABILITY TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF EDUONGO SERVICES OR YOUR INTERACTION WITH OTHER USERS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF EDUONGO SERVICES OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR FIFTY DOLLARS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Notice will be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, EDUonGo may give you legal notice by mail to the postal mailing address provided during the registration process, if any, or if no such mailing address was provided during the registration process, by posting on the Website. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing or posting, as applicable. You agree that all notices and other communications that EDUonGo provides to you electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such notice or communication be in writing.

19. Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms will in no manner affect such party's right at a later time to enforce the same. A waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of these Terms.

20. Digital Millennium Copyright Act Compliance. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any content hosted on EDUonGo Services infringes your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing EDUonGo’s Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C § 512(c)(3) for further detail):

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on EDUonGo Services are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at EDUonGo Services;

(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit EDUonGo to locate the material;

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit EDUonGo to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;

(v) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

EDUonGo's Designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement can be reached as follows:

Copyright Agent
EduonGo, Inc.
14205 SE 36th Street
Suite 100
Bellevue, WA 98006

or by email at info@eduongo.com

You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid.

21. Dispute Resolution

21.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving any disputes that arise between you and EDUonGo in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and EDUonGo agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with the Terms or your use of EDUonGo Services or any part thereof shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the Terms or EDUonGo Services, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of your account for EDUonGo Services. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU AND EDUONGO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

21.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the contents of Section 21.1 above, you and EDUonGo agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party’s right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims. 

21.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and EDUonGo will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting EDUonGo.

Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that EDUonGo do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). EDUonGo's address for Notice is:

EduonGo, Inc.
14205 SE 36th Street
Suite 100
Bellevue, WA 98006

21.4 The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). You and EDUonGo agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if no such resolution is reached within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or EDUonGo may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or EDUonGo shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, EDUonGo shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by EDUonGo in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award.

21.5 Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, EDUonGo will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in King County, Washington, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse EDUonGo for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. 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 preceding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

21.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND EDUONGO 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, unless both you and EDUonGo 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.    

21.7 Modifications. In the event that EDUonGo makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the EDUonGo's address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to EDUonGo's address for Notice, in which case your account with EDUonGo shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, shall survive.

21.8 Enforceability.  If either Section 21.6 or the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22.1 below, shall govern any action arising out of or related to the Terms or your use of the Website and/or EDUonGo Services or any part thereof.

22. Miscellaneous.

22.1 Choice of Law; Forum. These Terms shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Except as specified in Section 21, any action arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be heard in the federal, state, or local courts in King County, Washington, and you and YWCA SKS hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts.

22.2 Severability. If any provision of the Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from the Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

22.3 Assignment. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by EDUonGo without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms will be void.
