Dispute Resolution: At our or your election, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to the Terms and Conditions or the Site that are not resolved by mutual agreement may be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS, or its successor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by JAMS unless specifically modified in the Terms and Conditions. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator's decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in the Terms and Conditions and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under the Terms and Conditions, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any claim relating to the materials provided on this Site will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and the Copyright Owners agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The failure of the Copyright Owners to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, Transition Curriculum or these Terms and Conditions must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms and Conditions and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Terms and Conditions without the prior written consent of the Copyright Owners, but the Copyright Owners may assign or transfer this Terms and Conditions, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail.
