Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall affect warranties which are incapable of exclusion or restriction under applicable law.

TuitionHero, LLC and its representatives, agents, and any of their respective officers, directors, equity holders, employees, parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliated entities, representatives, agents and licensors (collectively, the “TuitionHero, LLC parties”) will not be liable to you or any Third Party for any special, direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use, loss of data, business interruption, personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of revenue, or other intangible losses) arising out of or relating in any way to our Services or Content whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless TuitionHero, LLC, its affiliates, licensors and service Providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to our Service, including any data or content transmitted or received by you; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement, including without limitation your breach of any of the representations and warranties; (iii) your violation of any Third Party right, including without limitation any right of privacy or intellectual property rights; (iv) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) any other party’s access and use of our Service with your unique username, password or other security code; or (vi) any other relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of our Services or Content other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use.

Any claim relating to TuitionHero, LLC Services shall be governed by the laws of Puerto Rico without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

You and TuitionHero, LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and TuitionHero, LLC arising in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreements or to your relationship with our Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreement) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Puerto Rico. You and TuitionHero, LLC further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreement.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other by certified mail (“Notice”) to the TuitionHero address. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). You and TuitionHero agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if you and TuitionHero do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or us may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or TuitionHero must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of TuitionHero, LLC’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, TuitionHero, LLC will pay you the amount awarded by the arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings, including any exchanged materials, shall be confidential and you and TuitionHero, LLC agree to use reasonable efforts to streamline the proceedings, including discovery, consistent with the objectives of efficient dispute resolution.

You and TuitionHero, LLC agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Also, you and TuitionHero, LLC agree to waive the right to a trial by jury. Further, unless both you and TuitionHero, LLC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

The Agreement is effective until your account, if applicable, is deactivated by either you or TuitionHero, LLC and you discontinue all use of our Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any section of the Agreement that by its nature is intended to survive termination of the Agreement or your use or access to our Services or Content will survive such termination.
