Please carefully review this section as it outlines the process for resolving disputes and claims between you and Online Global Degree Programs. By using our services, you agree to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Online Global Degree Programs, unless you choose to opt out of arbitration by following the instructions provided in Section 6(g) below. Please note that no class or representative actions or arbitrations are permitted under this arbitration provision. Additionally, arbitration prevents you and Online Global Degree Programs from pursuing claims in court or having a jury trial.
(a) No Representative Actions. You and Online Global Degree Programs acknowledge that any dispute or claim between us, including those arising from or related to these Terms or our services, is personal in nature. Therefore, any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "Online Global Degree Programs," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries may include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.
(b) Arbitration of Disputes: While most concerns can be resolved promptly and to the customer's satisfaction by contacting us via email, in the rare event that the Affordable Online Degree Customer Care Center cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), this Section 6 applies. With the exception of (i) individual actions in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or (ii) actions in court seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Online Global Degree Programs agree to waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us (collectively referred to as “Disputes”) resolved in court. Disputes include, but are not limited to, those arising out of or related to these Terms or our services(a) those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, and (b) those related to advertising, privacy, data security, and the use of our website. This Arbitration Agreement applies to all Disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, Disputes arising before you accepted these or any prior Terms, Disputes that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class, and Disputes asserted against Online Global Degree Programs by those you list as authorized contacts on your order.
(c) Arbitration Procedures: For any Dispute that you have against Online Global Degree Programs, or that Online Global Degree Programs has against you, you and Online Global Degree Programs agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally via the following process. If you assert a claim against Online Global Degree Programs, you will first contact Online Global Degree Programs by sending a written notice of your Dispute (“Claimant Notice”) to Online Global Degree Programs via U.S. certified mail addressed to Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, Online Global Degree Programs. A courtesy copy of the Notice should also be sent by email to info@onlineglobaldegreeprograms.com. The Claimant Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. For any Dispute that Online Global Degree Programs may have against you, we will provide you notice (“Online Global Degree Programs Notice”) in a similar form as described above via the mailing address and email address associated with your account. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Online Global Degree Programs first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute resolution process.
If an agreement to resolve the Dispute cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after notice is provided, either party may submit the Dispute to binding confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under specific circumstances outlined herein, to court. All Disputes submitted to AAA will undergo binding arbitration conducted by one arbitrator. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. However, if you are a Consumer, you may opt to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For the purposes of this Section 6, a “Consumer” refers to a person using the Services for personal, family, or household purposes.
If you are a Consumer, you and Online Global Degree Programs agree to abide by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are not a Consumer, you and Online Global Degree Programs agree to adhere to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Expedited Procedures for all Disputes valued at $75,000 or less. The most recent versions of the AAA Consumer and Commercial Arbitration Rules are accessible on the AAA’s website, and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Arbitration Agreement. By acknowledging these rules, you understand and agree to their terms, or you waive your right to review them and any claim that they are unfair or inapplicable for any reason.
Both parties acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 6 is to streamline the dispute resolution process and that Coordinated Filings may hinder this purpose. Therefore, you agree not to assert a demand for arbitration as part of a Coordinated Filing. A “Coordinated Filing” refers to any demand for arbitration involving a claim similar to at least ten (10) or more other pending demands for arbitration and where representation for that demand is consistent or coordinated with such other demands. In the event your demand is part of a Coordinated Filing, Online Global Degree Programs may, at its discretion, decline arbitration and instead litigate the claim in a civil court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of Section 19.
(d) Individualized arbitration proceedings and remedies are agreed upon by both parties. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 6 will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any relief available in court and to make procedural and substantive decisions regarding the Dispute. However, the arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate multiple individual claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding.
(e) Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the arbitration process, allowing for the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. Both parties agree to cooperate in seeking protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information exchanged during the arbitration. Such protection shall be sought before any information, documents, testimony, or materials become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
(f) Payment of Arbitration Fees: The expenses associated with arbitration will adhere to the fee schedules established by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), which can be found at adr.org/Rules. If you are a Consumer initiating arbitration for a Dispute, you are responsible for paying the applicable AAA Consumer Case Filing Fee, while Best Global Degree Online will cover the remaining AAA fees and costs. For non-Consumer disputes valued at less than $75,000, if you initiate arbitration, you agree to contribute $250 towards any arbitration filing fees, with Best Global Degree Online covering the remaining AAA fees and costs. In cases where the arbitration proceeding exceeds $75,000, both parties will equally share the costs and fees of AAA Commercial Arbitration. However, if the arbitrator determines that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then the payment of all AAA fees will be determined according to the applicable AAA Rules.
(g) Opt Out of Arbitration: You have the option to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of accepting the terms of this Section 6 by sending a written Notice of Opt Out to Best Global Degree Online via U.S. certified mail. The Notice of Opt Out must be addressed to: Notice of Opt Out, General Counsel, Best Global Degree Online.com, Inc., 101 North Brand Blvd., 11th Floor, Glendale, CA 91203. Additionally, a courtesy copy of the Notice of Opt Out should be sent by email to info@onlineglobaldegreeprograms.com. To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address, clearly indicating your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you agree to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 19, with the understanding that any such action will be pursued as an individual action and will not involve class arbitration, class actions, or any other representative proceedings.
(h) Additional Terms: If any part of this Section 6 is deemed unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the following actions will be taken: (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms, (b) the severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will not affect the remainder of this Section 6 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 6, and (c) any claims necessitating class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceedings must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction rather than arbitration. The parties agree to stay litigation of those claims pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
