Dispute Resolution by Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. Except where prohibited by law, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Apprentice Now, whether related to this Site, your use of the Site, or otherwise, including disputes related to or arising from the interpretation or application of this arbitration clause, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding confidential arbitration.
You are waiving the right to a trial by jury for any claim or dispute. The rights you would have if you went to court, such as discovery or the right to appeal, may be more limited or may not exist. You may only bring claims against Apprentice Now in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Additionally, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Service as a court would.
By agreeing to these Terms, you are agreeing that all disputes will be arbitrated on an individual basis and that you are waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or any other representative proceeding.
Enforcing Security
You may not use the Site or any of Apprentice Now’s data, systems, network, or services to engage in, foster, or promote illegal, abusive, or irresponsible behavior. In maintaining security, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy while using the Site, as we reserve the right to view, monitor, and/or record activity on the Site without notice. Such recorded activity may be subject to review by law enforcement organizations in compliance with applicable law. We will also comply with all court orders or subpoenas involving requests for information.
Injunctive Relief
You agree that Apprentice Now shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies available at law or in equity, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of your obligations under any provision of these Terms of Service. Accordingly, you waive any requirement that we post any bond or other security if Apprentice Now seeks any injunctive or equitable relief to enforce these Terms of Service.
Termination
These Terms of Service take effect immediately upon your registration, response to a request for information, or your first use of the Site, whichever occurs first. Apprentice Now may terminate your right to use the Site or any part of it at any time without notice. Upon termination, you are no longer authorized to access the part of the Site affected by such termination. You may also terminate these Terms of Service at any time by ceasing all use of the Site; however, all applicable provisions of these Terms of Service, which by their nature should survive termination, will continue in effect after termination. This includes, but is not limited to, provisions related to ownership of proprietary rights, indemnity obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and this termination clause.
Waiver & Severability
Failure to insist on strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by Apprentice Now of any right under these Terms of Service will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. If any part of these Terms of Service is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision. The remainder of these Terms of Service shall continue in effect.
Entire Agreement
No joint venture, partnership, employment, affiliate, or agency relationship exists between you and Apprentice Now as a result of these Terms of Service or your use of the Site. These Terms of Service represent the entire agreement between you and Apprentice Now with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and Apprentice Now regarding the Site. You may not assign or transfer any rights under these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Apprentice Now.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Compliance
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Apprentice Now infringe your copyright, you or your agent may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Notifications must comply with the statutory requirements of the DMCA. Any notification that fails to comply with these requirements will not be considered sufficient notice and will not confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe that a copyright infringement notice has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA allows you to send a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Apprentice Now’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement can be reached at: [email protected].
Assignment and Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall bind and benefit Apprentice Now and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives. These Terms of Service and any rights hereunder may not be assigned without our prior written consent. However, we may freely assign all rights and obligations under these Terms of Service to any affiliated entity or any of our wholly owned subsidiaries. These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Texas and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in Austin, Texas.
