26. Mediation/Arbitration Provisions

I. Initial Resolution by Remedy/Cure or Mediation of Dispute.

Explain Learning or Authorized User (the "Notice Party"), as the case may be, shall deliver written notice to the other party (the "Receiving Party"), via certified mail, return receipt requested, of the existence of a Dispute (the "Initial Notice"), as follows:

If to Explain Learning LLC:

2619 Vista Manzano Loop NE
Rio Rancho, NM
87144

2619 Vista Manzano Loop NE
Rio Rancho, NM
87144

If to Authorized User:

At the last known address of record.

The Receiving Party has thirty (30) calendar days following the Notice Party's delivery of such notice to provide a prompt and effective remedy/cure.

If the Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) calendar days of the Initial Notice, both the Notice Party and the Receiving Party have two options:

  1. If they agree to mediate, they shall submit the Dispute (the "Mediation Submission") to mediation by an organization or company specializing in providing neutral, third-party mediators. Both the Notice Party and the Receiving Party shall be subject to the following agreed-upon conditions:

    (i) The parties agree to participate in the mediation in good faith;

    (ii) The parties agree to have present at the mediation one or more individuals with decision-making authority regarding the Dispute;

    (iii) Either party may, at its option, be represented by counsel;

    (iv) The mediation shall be conducted in English;

    (v) The mediation shall be held at a mutually agreed upon venue location in or near Albuquerque, NM, within thirty (30) days of the Mediation Submission, unless the parties mutually agree on a later date or an alternate venue location; and

    (vi) The parties shall each bear their own costs and shall each pay one-half of the venue location fee and the mediator's fees and costs, unless the mediator subsequently determines that one party did not participate in the mediation in good faith, in which case that party shall pay all the venue location fee and mediator's fees and costs.

  2. If they do not agree to mediate, or if mediation does not successfully resolve the dispute, the parties shall submit to binding arbitration. Both the Notice Party and the Receiving Party shall work together to select a qualified arbitrator and venue and shall be subject to the following agreed-upon conditions.

II. Binding Arbitration.

Any Dispute or portion thereof that remains unresolved sixty (60) calendar days after a Mediation Submission, either Explain Learning or Authorized User, on Authorized User's own behalf and not as a representative of a purported class, shall submit the Disputes to final and binding arbitration (the "Arbitration Submission") under the commercial rules and regulations of the JAMS/Endispute, subject to the following:

(i) The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected by the parties from a list furnished by the JAMS/Endispute (the "Arbitrator"), provided that in the event of a conflict with the terms of these Mediation/Arbitration Provisions, the terms of these Mediation/Arbitration Provisions shall control. If the parties are unable to agree on such Arbitrator from the list, such Arbitrator shall be appointed by the JAMS/Endispute or in the alternative, each party shall select one arbitrator who, in turn, shall together select the Arbitrator who shall arbitrate the Dispute.

(ii) The Arbitrator shall be required to render a written decision resolving all Disputes with the reasons therefore, and designating one party as the "Prevailing Party" within sixty (60) days from the date of the Arbitration Submission.

(iii) The costs of arbitration, including the venue location fee, Arbitrator's fee and any reporting or other costs, but excluding lawyers', consultants' and witness fees, shall be borne by the non-Prevailing Party unless the Arbitrator subsequently determines as part of his or her award that such allocation is inequitable under the totality of the circumstances.

(iv) The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in English and held at a mutually agreed to venue location in or near Albuquerque, NM, unless Explain Learning and Authorized User mutually agree to an alternate location.

(v) Except with respect to any Dispute or portion thereof involving actual or alleged violation of Explain Learning's or any of Explain Learning's supplier's intellectual property, the Arbitrator shall not have power to award (A) damages inconsistent with the Terms of Use; or (B) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the Prevailing Party's actual damages, and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum.

(vi) Any determination by the Arbitrator with respect to any Dispute shall be final and binding on each party. Judgment upon the award of the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

Authorized User acknowledges that these Mediation/Arbitration Provisions preclude Authorized User from filing an action at law or in equity and from having any Dispute covered by this agreement resolved by a judge or a jury. Authorized User further acknowledges that these Mediation/Arbitration Provisions preclude Authorized User from participating in a class action or class arbitration filed by any other Authorized User or any other plaintiff claiming to represent Authorized User or Authorized User's interest. Authorized User agrees to opt-out of any class action or class arbitration filed against Explain Learning that raises claims covered by these Mediation/Arbitration Provisions, including, but not limited to, class actions or class arbitrations that are currently pending.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto retains the right to seek judicial assistance to obtain interim measures of protection pending arbitration for alleged or imminent breaches of intellectual property rights, confidentiality restrictions or security obligations. In the event that either party seeks judicial assistance to obtain interim relief, or in the event that any dispute arises relating to arbitration, the sole jurisdiction and venue for such actions shall be the U.S. District Court, District of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, or if there is no federal jurisdiction, in the state courts located in New Mexico. Each of the parties to this Terms of Use hereby consents to exclusive personal jurisdiction, service of process and venue in the New Mexico courts for such interim measures of protection and for disputes relating to arbitration.

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms 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.
