1. Skate N Learn Registration and Account Activation.
The Skate N Learn allows you to create one (1) universal consumer profile that enables you to perform aggregated searches, then schedule and pay for wellness services, including fitness, beauty, integrative health and other services offered by thousands of participating businesses and independent practitioners (“Skate N Learn Subscribers”).
The Skate N Learn Platform also enables you to synchronize any consumer accounts you have previously created with Skate N Learn Subscribers, so that you may view your history of purchases and visits with those providers, use any current series, membership, gift card or account credits you may have with those providers, and to renew or purchase additional services.
The Skate N Learn Platform, subject to these terms and payment of applicable fees, may also provide you with an opportunity to purchase a product which will allow you to view video on demand content and to participate in lives treamed fitness classes (“Zoom”). For the purposes of this Agreement, Zoom shall be considered part of the Skate N Learn Platform and references to the Skate N Learn Platform shall be read as including Zoom when made available via the Skate N Learn Platform.
To make credit or debit card purchases from Skate N Learn or the Skate N Learn Subscribers, you must complete the registration and open an account within the Skate N Learn Platform (“Skate N Learn Platform Account”). You do this by providing your first and last name and email address, completing your email verification, and associating one (1) or more valid credit or debit cards with that Skate N Learn Platform Account. You must provide accurate and up-to-date information. You are solely responsible for managing your Skate N Learn Platform Account. Your Skate N Learn Platform Account is non-transferrable and may not be sold, combined or otherwise shared with any third party. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Skate N Learn Platform Account if you provide inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information or if you attempt to use your Skate N Learn Platform Account to engage in illegal or unethical activities.

27. Arbitration Agreement.
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Skate N Learn and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. If a dispute of any kind arises with a Skate N Learn Subscriber, you agree to resolve that dispute with the applicable Skate N Learn Subscriber. For any dispute that you have with Skate N Learn, we will make every reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements that you have with us. If those efforts fail, by using the Skate N Learn Platform, you agree that ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND SKATE N LEARN, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, THAT ARE NOT RESOLVED PURSUANT TO THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE WILL BE RESOLVED by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you or Skate N Learn may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify; and (ii) you or Skate N Learn may seek relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior to this version of this Agreement.
b. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent CT Corporation System, 818 West Seventh Street, Suite 930, Los Angeles, CA 90017. The CT Corp office in your jurisdiction may be located through the Secretary of State’s website. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Skate N Learn will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Skate N Learn will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of California, United States of America. You and Skate N Learn further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the county of San Luis Obispo, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.c. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Skate N Learn. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
d. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SKATE N LEARN HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Skate N Learn are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 27(a), above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
e. Waiver of Class Actions or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
