Arbitration; Collection; Venue. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms will be settled by arbitration in Hennepin County, Minnesota, at a time and location designated by the arbitrator. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Rules of Commercial Arbitration, and judgment upon the award rendered by a single arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will be selected from a panel of persons having experience with and knowledge of the education industry and technology services. Nothing herein contained will bar either party from seeking equitable remedies or any claims related to intellectual property infringement in a court of appropriate jurisdiction sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota. If we successfully enforce our rights under these Terms in the arbitration or court action we may be awarded our costs and expenses of the arbitration or other action, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder, where such failure results from any act of God or other cause beyond such party’s reasonable control, excluding labor disputes, provided such party immediately notifies the other party.
No Waiver; Severability. Any failure on the part of a party to these Terms to insist upon strict enforcement of any provision(s) of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Should any provision of these Terms be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not invalidate the whole of these Terms, but rather that invalid provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
