Warranty Disclaimer

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE AND THE CONTENT SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT, OR THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICE AND ANY CONTENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE CONTENT AND THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR NON-MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, TITLE, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATIONAL CONTENT, OR SYSTEM INTEGRATION OR COMPATIBILITY.

FURTHERMORE, THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE, OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE, OF THE SERVICE OR THE CONTENT IN TERMS OF ITS CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY THE COMPANY OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Release, Assumption of Risk, and Limitation of Liability

You acknowledge and agree to assume all risks associated with your participation, and the participation of any of your students, in any project, experience or activity provided through the Service. You waive, discharge, and release any and all legal and equitable rights you may have to bring legal action against the Company or any of its related subsidiary or affiliated corporations, directors, officers, employees, or agents (each a “Releasee”) that may be available to you or your heirs arising out of or related to any property damage, injury, or other damage resulting from, or related in any way to your use of the Content or the participation of your students in any projects, experiences or activities related to the Content or the Service or any activities incidental thereto, regardless of whether such property damage, injury, or other damage was caused in whole or in part by the negligence, gross negligence or other acts or omissions of any of the Releasees.

You have read, understand, and hereby waive all rights granted pursuant to California Civil Code §1542, which provides that: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE, SHALL THE RELEASEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE (DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE OR THE CONTENT REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS UPON WHICH LIABILITY IS CLAIMED AND EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY OR MAY BE LIMITED.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTIONS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION (RELEASE, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

IF APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES THE COMPANY FROM DISCLAIMING A PARTICULAR KIND OF DAMAGE OR TO CAP THE LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF ACTIONS OR CLAIMS, THEN THE ABOVE PROVISIONS WILL BE DEEMED AMENDED TO CONFORM WITH APPLICABLE LAW, AND THE BALANCE OF THIS SECTION SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. YOU AND THE COMPANY HAVE FULLY CONSIDERED AND FIND REASONABLE THE FOREGOING ALLOCATION OF RISK, AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Indemnification

The company has no obligation to defend, indemnify or hold you harmless under this Agreement. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, liabilities, judgments, and costs (including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses), arising out of or related to your participation, and/or the participation of your students in any project, experience or activity provided through or related to the Service (each a “Claim”). Upon the Company’s request, you agree to defend each Releasee with respect to any Claim.

Choice of Law and Jurisdiction

You and the Company agree that the substantive laws of the United States and the State of California will govern with respect to all matters relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or the use (or inability to use) the Service, and that such laws will apply without regard to principles of conflict of laws. You and the Company agree and hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California, U.S.A. Use of the Service is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all of the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation this paragraph.

Confidentiality

You agree that you will not disclose any details, know-how, trade secrets, or other information of a confidential nature about the Service or the Content (the “Confidential Information”) to any third party. You undertake, warrant, and represent that you will exercise the highest reasonable degree of care to safeguard any Confidential Information.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that your breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult to ascertain or quantify and for which the Company may not have an adequate remedy in money or damages. The Company shall, therefore, be entitled to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief against such breach from any court of competent jurisdiction immediately upon request (without posting bond or providing proof of future damages) and will be entitled to recover from you the costs incurred in seeking such injunctive or other equitable relief. The Company's right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief will not limit its right to seek or obtain further remedies.

Severability

Should any of the terms and conditions herein be held invalid, that invalid provision shall be construed to be consistent with the applicable law, and in a manner so as to remain consistent with the original intent of the Company. Provisions not otherwise held invalid shall remain in force and effect.

Assignment

You may not assign or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the Company's prior written consent. Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation, or other transfer by you without such consent shall be void.

Waiver

No waiver by the Company of any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of, or consent to, any subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement.

Entire Agreement

Except as set forth below with regard to separately negotiated agreements, this Agreement, the Privacy Policy and the TOU are the entire and exclusive agreement between you and the Company with respect to your access to and use of any of the Content available on or through the Service, and this Agreement supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, agreements, or other communications between you and the Company, oral or written, regarding such subject matter. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not impact or limit in any manner the terms of a separately negotiated agreement executed by you and the Company with respect to your access to and use of any of the Content available on or through the Service that by its express terms was intended to supersede all or part of this Agreement.

BY MARKING THE BOX INDICATING THAT YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, YOU REPRESENT, WARRANT AND CERTIFY THAT: YOU ARE AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LEGAL ENTITY YOU REPRESENT; YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTAND IT; YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE LEGAL ENTITY YOU REPRESENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT; AND YOU AGREE ON BEHALF OF THE LEGAL ENTITY YOU REPRESENT TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
