EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY LAW, AND WITHOUT LIMITATION:
TABOOTA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY USERS OF OUR SITE OR THE USER INFORMATION THEY PROVIDE, INCLUDING INSTRUCTORS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 17 BELOW). TABOOTA, THE INSTRUCTORS, AND ANY OTHER THIRD PARTIES MENTIONED ON THIS SITE ARE NEITHER RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SITE, SITE-RELATED SERVICES, CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SITE, OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE, SITE-RELATED SERVICES, OR LINKED WEBSITES IS TO STOP USING THE SITE OR THOSE SERVICES. TO THE EXTENT ANY ASPECTS OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF TABOOTA TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THIS SITE IS $500 (FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS). YOU HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL LAWS THAT LIMIT THE EFFICACY OF SUCH INDEMNIFICATIONS OR RELEASES.
You hereby release and forever discharge us, our successors and assignees, our affiliates and each of the foregoing’s respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the "Releasees") from and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Site users or third party sites, including any third party site content, and any and all liability, costs, expenses, losses, damages (including damage to property or personal injury or death) and claims, whether known or unknown, which may arise from (i) you conducting, participating in, attending, or authorizing an event created on the Site or (ii) from the acts or omissions of third parties you interact with through the Site (collectively the “Released Claims”).
In furtherance of the foregoing, and only with respect to the Released Claims, you waive your rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 which states: "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."
12. No Third Party Rights
Unless expressly stated in the Terms of Use to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than you, Taboota, and their affiliates. Nothing in the Terms of Use is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to you, Taboota, and its affiliates, nor shall any provision give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over against you, Taboota, and its affiliates.
13. Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate the Terms of Use or any part thereof without Taboota’s prior written consent. Taboota may freely transfer, assign, or delegate all or any part of the Terms of Use, and any rights or duties hereunder or thereunder. The Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and permitted assignees of the parties.
14. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
We will try to work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site, including without limitation, Services obtained through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer's satisfaction.
You and Taboota agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including without limitation, Services obtained through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Taboota are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Taboota.
If you desire to assert a claim against Taboota, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Taboota, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Taboota should be addressed to: ATTN: Legal, 60048 Butler LLC, 1520 Artaius Pkwy #7622, Libertyville, IL 60048 ("Notice Address"). If Taboota desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Taboota, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Taboota and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Taboota may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Taboota or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Taboota receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $1,000.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, this arbitration agreement. Unless Taboota and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Lake County, Illinois. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including, but not limited to, the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Taboota’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Taboota did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Taboota will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
YOU AND TABOOTA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Taboota agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
If the arbitration terms and conditions of this Section 14 are found to be unenforceable, then (i) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for Lake County, Illinois.
15. Force Majeure
We will not be deemed to be in breach of these terms or liable for any breach of these terms or our privacy policy due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire, or other disaster.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Taboota and any affiliates from and against any and all rights, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, actions, and suits (no matter whether at law or equity), fees, costs, and attorney’s fees of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with: (i) your use or misuse of the Site, Services or any information posted on the Site; (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; (iii) the content or subject matter of any information you provide to Taboota or customer service agent; or (iv) any negligent or wrongful act or omission by you in your use or misuse of the Site, Services, or any information on the Site, including without limitation, infringement of third party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or negligent or wrongful conduct.
17. Supplemental Terms Applicable to Instructors

Instructor should seek legal counsel regarding any legal and compliance issues, and should not rely on any materials or content associated with the Services in determining Instructor’s compliance obligations under law.
