Participating in a Class or Teaching a Class

The following apply when participating in a class or when you are an instructor for a class on Site:

The TOS are in addition to any agreements, releases or other documents (the “Class Agreement”) that a teacher and student may enter into in connection with a class. This includes any Class Agreement entered into through the Site or Service.
Both students and teachers are responsible to the other for complying with the terms of the Class Agreement. However, Site has no control over either party’s compliance of Class Agreement. Among other things, Site cannot control (a) the provisions, accuracy or legality of the Class Agreement, (b) any party’s performance of its obligations under the Class Agreement.
Hence, Site shall not be held responsible for any liability arising out of the Class Agreement or any actions that you may take in reliance thereon. Site is not a party to any transaction between you and any other user. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE SITE AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, CALLED AS THE “SITE PARTIES”) FROM ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE OR KIND, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, UNSUSPECTED OR SUSPECTED, UNDISCLOSED OR DISCLOSED, RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE CLASS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION OR ATTEMPTED TRANSACTION WITH ANOTHER USER OF THE SERVICE (WHETHER A STUDENT OR TEACHER). YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.
Participation in a class is at your sole risk. Teaching a class is at your sole risk. Site does not supervise classes and is not involved in any way with the actions of any individuals at any class. As a result, we have no control over the identity or actions of the individuals who are present at these classes. We request that you exercise good judgment and caution when participating in Classes.
You acknowledge and agree that by participating as a student or instructor in any class you may be exposed to a variety of risks and hazards. These may or may not be foreseen. These may include (without limitation) property damage, personal injury, and death.

YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.
You waive California Civil Code Section 1542 (If applicable), which states, in relevant part: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

You and Site irrevocably agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the county of Alameda, in the State of California, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

Waiver and Severability

The failure of Site to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Successors and Assigns

We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under this TOS through one or more of our corporate affiliates (including any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator.
These TOS, together with the Privacy Policy and the other Governing Documents, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Site concerning the Service and the services provided by Site. If any provision of any such document is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions thereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Most communication between Site and you will be sent and received electronically. You agree that all electronic communication between Site and you shall satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
