PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND WAYWARD LEADERS TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH INDIVIDUAL, BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

14.1 Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us in writing at carl@waywardleaders.com with a detailed description of the dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information, and to engage in good-faith discussions for at least sixty (60) days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

14.2 Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and Wayward Leaders agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, any Course, any Digital Product, or any transaction with Wayward Leaders, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, in the English language, and seated in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, or such other location as the parties may agree.

14.3 Federal Arbitration Act. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce.

14.4 Class Action Waiver. You and Wayward Leaders agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 14 (other than this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to the affected claim, which shall instead proceed in court under Section 16.

14.5 Exceptions. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from: (a) bringing an individual action in small claims court for claims within that court’s jurisdiction; (b) seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or to enforce confidentiality obligations; or (c) filing an enforcement action with a government agency where such right cannot be waived under applicable law.

14.6 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to carl@waywardleaders.com within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms, stating clearly that you wish to opt out and including your name, address, and the email address associated with your Account. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

14.7 Survival. This Section survives any termination of these Terms or of your relationship with Wayward Leaders.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WAYWARD LEADERS, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, DOWNTIME, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE OR ECONOMIC LOSS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, ANY COURSE, ANY DIGITAL PRODUCT, OR ANY CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WAYWARD LEADERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAYWARD LEADERS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, ANY COURSE, ANY DIGITAL PRODUCT, OR ANY CONTENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO WAYWARD LEADERS FOR THE SPECIFIC COURSE OR DIGITAL PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. The exclusions and limitations in this Section apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they are an essential element of the bargain between you and Wayward Leaders.

16.1 Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Dakota, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16.2 Venue for Court Actions. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 14, you and Wayward Leaders consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Minnehaha County, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for any judicial proceeding permitted under these Terms, and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum or lack of personal jurisdiction.

16.3 International Users. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws. Nothing in these Terms affects any non-waivable rights you may have under the mandatory law of your country of residence.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Wayward Leaders LLC, Wayward Leaders Academy, Wayward Leaders Press, Dr. Carl Lee Tolbert, and each of their respective members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and suppliers (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your User-Generated Content; (c) your application of any Content to any real-world equipment, system, or environment, including any resulting personal injury, death, or property damage; (d) your violation of these Terms; (e) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (f) your violation of any right of any third party, including any intellectual property or privacy right.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such matter.
