8. CHOICE OF LAW, ARBITRATION, NO CLASS ACTIONS, ATTORNEYS' FEES:
A. Governing Law. This Agreement is a contract for services, not for the sale of goods. The Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act ("UCITA"), or any similar legislation, shall not apply to this Agreement. Users from outside the United States agree that the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not govern this Agreement or the rights or obligations of the Parties hereto.
B. Arbitration. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to Company's website, its products or services, privacy policy or these Terms (collectively, a "Dispute"), you agree to first contact Company at Support@EmotionalABCs.com or by calling toll-free (877) 399-8763 to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If we are not successful in resolving your Dispute within 60 days, you agree to submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with California law and the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single neutral arbitrator who is a retired judge or a lawyer, who will administer the proceedings in accordance with the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms, and any Additional Terms, will determine any Dispute according to the applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for arbitration and the AAA is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within sixty (60) days of the filing of a "demand for arbitration," then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. ("JAMS") and determined by a single neutral arbitrator who is a lawyer or a retired judge, using JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service to which you and we consent. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows:
AAA: 800.778.7879
http://www.adr.org
JAMS: 949.224.1810
http://www.jamsadr.com
(i) Nature, Limitations, and Location of Alternative Dispute Resolution. In arbitration, as with a court, the arbitrator will resolve the submitted Dispute and can issue an award consistent with this Section. However, WITH ARBITRATION THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED. All parties to the arbitration will have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, you agree it will be conducted in Los Angeles, California. Visitor and Company will share 50%-50%, any administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. Discovery will be permitted pursuant to the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator’s decision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim of the Dispute and must provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and any award (if any) is based. Judgment on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered into any court that has jurisdiction over the parties. You expressly agree and consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in Los Angeles, California for this purpose. (ii) Small Claims Matters Are Excluded. Either of us may bring a qualifying claim of Disputes in small claims court.
C. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this section will not apply to any legal action taken by us to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Site, any Content, and/or our intellectual property rights (including any we may claim that may be in dispute), operations, and/or products or services.
D. No Class Actions. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party.
E. Attorney's Fees. The prevailing party in any Dispute shall be entitled to recover its attorney's fees and costs, including costs of collection of any judgment or settlement and costs on appeal, in addition to any other relief or recovery obtained.
F. Time Limitations on Claims. Except for actions by Company for nonpayment or infringement of Company's intellectual property, no action regardless of form may be brought by either Party more than one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrued.
9. SEVERABILITY; INTERPRETATION:
If any provision of these Terms, Company's Privacy Policy, or any Additional Terms, is for any reason deemed unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you agree that every attempt will be made to give effect to the Parties’ intentions as reflected in that provision, and the remaining provisions contained in these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. Visitor agrees that these Terms, and Additional Terms will not be construed against Company because Company drafted them.

This Payment Policy is incorporated into the Emotional ABCs® Terms of Service, and applies to users who have purchased an Emotional ABCs® subscription or purchase plan to access Emotional ABCs® online, and to individuals whose payment details have been used to purchase the Emotional ABCs® services.
A. Subscription Plans and Payments
We offer many different types of individual plans, family, complimentary, teacher, class, and group plans. The pricing applicable to your account may vary depending on promotions, the type of subscription and the term you select at the time of purchase (e.g., individual, family, class, group plan, teacher, etc.). All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes due and payable. We may revise the pricing for the Emotional ABCs® or any item associated therewith at any time. Your subscription price applies for the full subscription term and is not subject to later price fluctuations, discounts or special offers. We do not provide price protection or refunds for existing subscribers in the event of a price drop or promotional offering for new subscribers. Some subscription plans renew automatically, as described below. Refer to your Account page if you have questions.
Our subscription plans are billed in one payment for the entire license term. If you purchase a monthly plan, you will be charged a nonrefundable fee for the full month’s payment each month at the originally contracted price; if you purchase a yearly plan, you will be charged a nonrefundable fee for the entire year at one time, etc.
We may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement our fees and fee-billing methods, and such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting in this Agreement or on the Emotional ABCs® website. If there is a dispute regarding payment of subscription or other fees, your Account may be terminated or suspended indefinitely without warning or notice in our sole discretion.
B. No Refunds
Emotional ABCs® does not offer any full or partial refunds even if your Account is cancelled, suspended or terminated for any reason. ANY SUBSCRIPTION OR OTHER FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE AND ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
C. Automatic Renewals
All Emotional ABCs® subscriptions made online at Emotional ABCs®, except Complimentary, Free Teacher, or Purchase Order subscriptions, renew automatically using the payment details on file for your account. If you purchase a subscription with automatic renewal, you acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to use the payment information on file for the renewal fees.
By activating a subscription account, you agree that we may renew your subscription automatically for the same subscription term on the day after your previous subscription ends. For example: If you subscribe to a monthly plan on February 1st, your subscription will automatically renew on March 1st, April 1st, and so on. However, when a date does not occur in a month, your account will renew and be billed on the last day of that month. For example, if you activated a family account on January 31st, your next renewal and billing date will be on February 28th (or 29th in a leap year).
Monthly Cancellations: Subscriptions billed on a monthly basis may be cancelled at any time at least one full business day before your renewal date. If you cancel your monthly subscription, you will retain access to your services for the remainder of that month. If you do not cancel your subscription at least one full business day before your renewal date, we will renew your subscription for one more month.
D. Payment Information
By providing payment information to us, you warrant that the payment information is valid and in your name, or in the name of an individual who has authorized you to use their payment information for your subscription purchase.
You agree that you’ll provide accurate and complete payment info to us or the third-party payment provider used by us, and pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an account registered to you.
12. TEACHER ACCOUNTS:
Free Teacher Accounts, if offered, may only be registered by an Adult currently employed (as a Teacher or full time School Counselor) by a school, school district, licensed childcare facility, or other fully licensed elementary educational institution or program in the United States for live in class instruction in a "brick and mortar" school. The Free Teacher Account is not available to "online" or "virtual" educational institutions of any type. To be eligible for a free Teacher Account, the Teacher (or fulltime counselor) must at all times during the subscription period be currently employed by the Educational Institution. The Teacher’s employment status must be independently verifiable, and the Teacher must only use or facilitate the use of the Teacher Account for students at the Educational Institution for which the Teacher has authorization. If a Teacher wants to use the Services for his or her own family, he or she must register for an Individual or Family Account. By registering for a Teacher Account, you represent and warrant that (a) you have permission from your Educational Institution to enter into these Terms on its behalf, and to use the Services as part of learning activities; and (b) your use of the Services and provision of student data through the Services is compliant with any obligations you and your Educational Institution have under applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. If at any point in time you are no longer employed at or no longer have permission to use the Services from your Educational Institution, you agree that you will notify us immediately and cancel your account. Free Teacher Accounts, if offered, are free and are offered in our sole discretion and we reserve the right to decline to issue, cancel, or change the terms and/or conditions of any or all Teacher Accounts at any time for any reason. Free Teacher accounts may be limited to a fixed number of free logins per month.
13. PAID PREMIUM GROUP ACCOUNTS:
Paid Premium Group accounts ("PG accounts") are purchased by schools one classroom, or more, at a time for an entire month or an entire year in advance and, unless paid by Purchase Order, will renew at the end of each term. If Purchase Orders are used, Emotional ABCs will only send sign-ins once payment has been received and processed. PG accounts allow up to 30 student sign-ins per classroom and 2 Instructor accounts. Account Administrators or Instructors will each be given a sign in with their own email and password and the Instructors or the Account Administrator will create a student roster of up to 30 students. Student Usernames (nicknames) are created by Instructors or School Administrators and do not need any student personal identifying information. Teachers will then be able to sign students into their individual accounts or using a QR code or a link. There is no student email address taken or any way for Company to contact Student Users. Instructors or Account Administrators will be able to email parents or adult guardians to allow parents/guardians to sign student Users into their account from home, subject to these Terms and Conditions. No advertisements will be served on the site. Company does not contact Student Users for any reason. Company has no way to contact Student Users as Company has no identifying information other than the user “nickname” and cookie information. PG account holders and Users represent and warrant that they have obtained written permission and consent for all Student Users to use the service from the Student User's parent or legal guardian and agree to defend and hold Company harmless from any breach of this warranty.
14. FREE PARENT PREVIEW:

Only adults who purchase the Service with a credit card or other permitted payment method are permitted to open an account. Student Users or visitors under eighteen (18) years of age, may use our Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent, legal guardian, or at the direction of the Student User's School. Schools may impose additional policies regarding the use of our Service, with which you must comply.
Users that open an account to provide the Service to students in a School, hereby represent and warrant (i) User is an authorized representative of the School with the authority to bind the School to this Agreement, and (ii) User agrees to this Agreement on the School's behalf. Users contacting Company to take any action with respect to an account represent and warrant that they have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the accountholder (e.g., a School or Parent). In addition, Schools warrant and represent that no Personally Identifiable Information of students will be provided to Company and that account nicknames or passwords shall not include (a) any student's name; or (b) The name of any student's parent or other family members; (c) The address of the student or student's family; (d) Other indirect identifiers, such as the student's date of birth, place of birth, and mother's maiden name; (e) Other information that, alone or in combination, is linked or linkable to a specific student that would allow a reasonable person in the school community, who does not have personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the student with reasonable certainty.
The U.S. Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that online service providers obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting Personal Information from children under 13. Any School providing the Service to children under 13, hereby represents and warrants it has the authority to provide consent on behalf of Parents for Company to collect information from Users or Visitors under 13 before allowing such Users to access our Service. Company recommends all Schools provide appropriate disclosures to students and parents regarding use of service providers such as Company and that they provide a copy of Company's Privacy Policy and Company's Student Data Privacy Pledge.
