We reserve the right in our sole discretion to change these Terms of Use from time to time (“Updated Terms of Use”).

Time Limitation.
Any claim or action against us must be brought within twelve (12) months of the cause arising, otherwise such claim or action is permanently barred.

Arbitration.

Other than for the grounds set forth in the section below entitled “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate”:

  • In the event of any dispute, claim, question or disagreement arising from or relating to the Services, these Terms or the breach thereof, the parties hereto shall use reasonable efforts to settle the dispute, claim, question, or disagreement. To this effect, the parties shall consult and reasonably negotiate with each other and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. If the parties do not reach such solution within a period of thirty (30) days, then, upon notice by either party to the other, such dispute, claim, question or disagreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the Vancouver International Arbitration Centre (VanIAC) pursuant to its applicable rules subject to the limitations of this section. The place of arbitration will be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. VanIAC rules are available on its website at https://vaniac.org/ or by calling 604-684-2821. If there is a conflict between VanIAC’s rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to Mathnasium Canada at 1200 Waterfront Centre, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver BC V6C 3L6, Canada. You must also comply with VanIAC’s rules regarding initiation of arbitration.
  • This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. Notice of a demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party hereto and with VanIAC. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, including the time limitation agreed to under these Terms of Use.
  • The parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the parties, but if they do not so agree within twenty (20) days after the date of the notice of a demand for arbitration referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to VanIAC’s rules from the panels of business arbitrators maintained by VanIAC. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing and shall be final. Judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the decision shall not be subject to vacation, modification or appeal, except to the extent permitted by the Arbitration Act (British Columbia). The expenses of arbitration, including and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and VanIAC, shall be shared equally by the parties.
  • The arbitrator will have no authority to award attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, or any other monetary relief not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The award may include equitable relief. The arbitrator will not make any ruling, finding, or award that does not otherwise conform to these Terms. The arbitrator may render a summary disposition relative to all or some of the issues, provided that the responding party has had an adequate opportunity to respond to any such application for such disposition.
  • The parties agree to treat all aspects of the arbitration as confidential, as provided in VanIAC’s rules. Before making any disclosure permitted by VanIAC’s rules, a party shall give written notice to the other party and afford such party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.
The agreement to arbitrate set out above does not apply if and to the extent prohibited by applicable law, including if an applicable law in your jurisdiction of residence gives you the right to resolve your dispute or claim before the courts of that jurisdiction notwithstanding your agreement to resolve disputes by way of arbitration.

In addition, you and we agree that we may go to court to resolve disputes relating to: (i) your or our intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents); or (ii) your violation of section 9 (User Feedback; User Content). If we choose to bring a claim in court, such claim may be brought in the courts of British Columbia located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and you irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on improper venue or inconvenient forum.

Class Action Waiver.
Where allowed by applicable law, any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. You agree that neither you nor we will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity, and each party hereby waives any right to assert consolidated claims with respect to any disputes subject to arbitration under these Terms or any disputes between the parties. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. This paragraph does not apply to residents of the Province of Quebec or to residents of other provinces where this provision is prohibited by law.

Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right the party may have to a trial by jury for any legal action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby. This means that a judge rather than a jury will decide disputes between you and Mathnasium if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced.

19. Changes and Termination
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, Mathnasium in its discretion and for its convenience may change, suspend, or terminate the Services, or limit, suspend, or terminate your permission to access and use the Services, at any time and from time to time effective immediately and without any notice or liability to you or any other person.

These Terms as they apply to you are effective unless and until terminated. You may terminate these Terms by permanently ceasing to use the Services and giving written notice of termination to Mathnasium. Mathnasium may terminate these Terms at any time either by giving a notice of termination to you or by cancelling your permission to access use the Services.

20. Headings.
Headings in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and shall not control, limit, amplify or otherwise modify or affect these Terms of Use or the meaning and construction of these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use are to be interpreted according to their fair meaning, and not strictly in favor of or strictly against either you or us.

21. Assignment.
Mathnasium may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any person at any time without any notice. These Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of Mathnasium.

22. Surviving Obligations/Liabilities and Sections.
The obligations and liabilities you incur prior to termination of these Terms will survive termination of these Terms. In addition, each of sections 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, and 23 of these Terms will survive and continue to apply and be binding on you and Mathnasium (as applicable) after termination of these Terms.

23. Entire Agreement; Severability; No Waiver.
These Terms of Use and any Additional Terms (if applicable) together constitute the entire agreement between you and Mathnasium regarding your use of the Services, and supersede any prior agreements or understandings between you and Mathnasium regarding your use of the Services. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed removed and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. These Terms of Use do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, (i) no failure or delay by Mathnasium in exercising any of the rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by Mathnasium.
