ARBITRATION PROVISION

Legal Disputes and Arbitration Agreement Please Read This Following Clause Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court

Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at legal@Eduskill.org to address any concerns you may have regarding these Terms or your use of the Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and we agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the Section above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by Singh Dwivedi & Company, Chartered Accountants in India, in accordance with the Indian Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the Singh Dwivedi & Company, Chartered Accountants in India and Indian Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Allahabsd, Uttar Pradesh, India, at your option. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of the Terms of Use shall be subject to the Indian Arbitration Act.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. For all dispute purpose, the place will be High Court, Allahabad, India.

Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and Eduskill each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and Eduskill each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in this Section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception - Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You can opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending a written request to legal@eduskill.org within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Use, or within thirty (30) days of any subsequent modification to the arbitration agreement set forth in this Section. Your request to opt-out of arbitration must include your (i) name, (ii) mailing address, (iii) email address, and (iv) express request to opt-out from the arbitration agreement set forth in this Section. If you opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use shall continue to apply to your use of the Services.

Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section do not apply, or if you have opted out of arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state of Uttar Pradesh Courts located in Allahabad, India. (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India for any litigation other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these Terms, the parties agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
