DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

• Small Claims Court and Binding Arbitration. Except for disputes that are resolved in Small Claims Court, the parties agree to fully and finally settle all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or related to this agreement, the online learning platform or the Materials only by binding arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must honor the same limitations in this agreement, as a court would. If an applicable statute provides for an award of attorney's fees, an arbitrator can award them, too, to the extent permitted by law. The parties also agree that, except for disputes that are resolved in small claims court: (1) the Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement and any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, the online learning platform or any Materials and (2) any dispute between the parties will be settled by a neutral arbitrators before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The complaining party can choose either the AAA's supplementary procedures for consumer-related disputes or an individual action in Small Claims Court. The arbitrators must apply the federal rules of evidence and either party may have an award reviewed by a panel of three (3) new arbitrators. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the AAA (www.adr.org).

• No Class Or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver. YOU AND K12 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 ACTION. Unless both you and K12 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.

• Any arbitration award made after completion of arbitration is final and binding and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. An award and any judgment enforcing it only applies to the arbitration proceeding in which it was awarded and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
