5.2 Counter-Notification

After receiving a notification of alleged infringement, Eduphoria will remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. At the same time, Eduphoria will provide the provider of affected material with a copy of the notice. The provider of affected material may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Please be advised that you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations pursuant to federal law in the counter notification. When we receive a counter notification, we may reinstate the material in question. To file a counter notification with us, the provider of affected material must provide a written communication (by postal mail, overnight mail, or, when digitally-signed, by email) that sets forth the items specified below. To expedite our ability to process your counter notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):

1. Identify the material that Eduphoria has removed or to which Eduphoria has disabled access and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
2. Provide your name, postal address, telephone number, email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in Collin County, Texas (if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Eduphoria may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the initial notification of infringement or an agent of such person.

4. Sign the paper or affix an electronic or digital signature to the communication in a form reasonably acceptable to Eduphoria.
5. Send written communication to the following address: Eduphoria Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 6800 Weiskopf Avenue, Suite 150 McKinney, Texas, 75070.
6. Send electronically- or digitally-signed communication to support@eduphoria.com. Upon receipt of a counter notification in substantial compliance with the DMCA, Eduphoria will provide the person who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter notification promptly.

5.3 Trademark Disputes

Eduphoria is generally unable to evaluate the merits of trademark disputes because trademark rights may be based on registration or common law use, exist only for certain categories of goods or services and may differ internationally.

12. Arbitration

12.1 Arbitration Agreement

This Section 12 is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Agreement.” The parties that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes between you and Eduphoria arising out of, relating to, or resulting from these Terms and Conditions, shall be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Arbitration Agreement, and not any court action (other than a small claims court action to the extent the claim qualifies). The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

12.2 Class Action Waiver

THIS PARAGRAPH IS REFERRED TO AS THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER.” THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

12.3 Neutral Arbitrator

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms and Conditions as a court would, including without limitation, the limitation of liability provisions above. You may visit http://www.adr.org for information on the AAA and http://www.adr.org/fileacase for information on how to file a claim against Eduphoria.

12.4 Arbitration Location

The arbitration shall be held in Collin County, Texas. If the value of the relief sought is $50,000 or less, you or Eduphoria may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on each party, but subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by either or both parties unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

12.5 Applicable Law and Precedent

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Service users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving you to the extent required by applicable law.

12.6 Payment

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees“) will be governed by the AAA’s Rules. Each party will be responsible for all other fees it incurs in connection with the arbitration, including without limitation, all attorney fees.

12.7 Confidentiality

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

12.8 Enforceability

If a court decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than the Class Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court decides that any of the provisions of the Class Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms and Conditions will continue to apply.
