Governing Law and Forum

22. The laws of the State of Arkansas will govern the validity, construction, interpretation, and performance of these Terms and Conditions, as well as any claim that might arise between you and CW Prep relating to the Website or CW Prep’s services, without giving effect to conflict-of-law provisions. The parties agree that any principle of construction or rule of law that provides that an agreement shall be construed against the drafter of the agreement in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity in such agreement shall not apply to these Terms and Conditions. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts sitting in Little Rock, Arkansas, and waive any right to assert forum non conveniens. Except as set forth in paragraphs 23, 24, and 25, these courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, the Website, or CW Prep’s services.

Dispute Resolution

23. In the event of any dispute arising under or related to these Terms and Conditions, to a breach thereof, to your use of the Website, or to your use of CW Prep’s services, the complainant must clearly set out in a written notice the nature of the dispute and deliver the notice to the other party. Both parties must make reasonable, good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute informally. If you and CW Prep are unable to resolve the dispute within 45 days of delivery of the written notice through the efforts described above in this paragraph 23, the exclusive means of resolving the dispute shall be arbitration by a single arbitrator from and in Pulaski County, Arkansas, and each party hereby consents to any such disputes being so resolved. A notice of arbitration must be filed within 120 days of the delivery of the written notice described above in this paragraph 23, or otherwise any claim related to the substance of the notice shall be forever barred. You and CW Prep shall select the arbitrator by agreement; provided, however, that if they are unable to agree to the arbitrator within 14 days, then the arbitrator shall be appointed by the Arkansas Academy of Mediators & Arbitrators.

24. The arbitration shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Arkansas without giving effect to conflict-of-law provisions. You and CW Prep agree that the arbitrator shall assume case management initiative and control over the arbitration process in order to complete the arbitration as expeditiously as is reasonably practical for obtaining a just resolution of the dispute.

25. The arbitrator shall not award punitive damages or other damages in excess of compensatory damages, except where required by statute. You and CW Prep waive any right to recover any such damages. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and CW Prep, and each party waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to any form of appeal of, or collateral attack against, such award. Judgment on the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The expenses of arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees, expert witness fees, and attorney’s fees, may be awarded to the prevailing party, in the discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned between the parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until the arbitrator decides that one party is to pay for all (or a share) of such expenses, both parties shall share equally in the payment of the arbitrator’s fees as and when billed by the arbitrator.

No Waiver

26. CW Prep’s failure to insist upon strict performance of any of these Terms and Conditions, or to exercise any right, shall not be deemed to be a waiver. Without prejudice to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, CW Prep’s waiver of any of these Terms and Conditions, or of any right, shall not affect CW Prep’s ability to enforce these Terms and Conditions, or to exercise any right.

Children

27. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, CW Prep does not permit children under 13 years of age to use the Website. You represent that any access or use of the Website will be by an individual who is at least 13 years of age.

Headings

29. Headings are used for convenience and ease of reference and do not affect the scope or intent of these Terms and Conditions.

Severability

30. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as purporting to put into effect any invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable term or condition. If any of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, that will not affect the other Terms and Conditions. Any invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable part of these Terms and Conditions will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal, or otherwise enforceable, and both your rights and obligations and CW Prep’s rights and obligations will be construed accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent of these Terms and Conditions.

Entire Agreement

31. These Terms and Conditions, including CW Prep’s Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and CW Prep with respect to your use of the Website and supersedes and replaces all other prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, statements, negotiations, and undertakings between you and CW Prep related to or arising out of your use of the Website.
