Thank you for your interest in using the online services operated by IXL Learning, Inc. (hereafter called "IXL"). These Terms of Service govern your use of the online and/or mobile services, websites, and software provided on or in connection with www.ixl.com (collectively, the "Service"), which are offered through (i) www.ixl.com, (ii) mobile applications associated with www.ixl.com, and (iii) any other IXL website, app or online service which links to these Terms of Service.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

These Terms of Service apply to all visitors, users, and others who access, purchase, or otherwise use the Service ("you" or "Users"). When the Service is used by an educational agency or institution, including but not limited to a school, school district, school official, teacher or other school or district representative or other provider of educational services (collectively referred to as "Schools"), then "you" includes teachers and other School personnel and administrators who access the Services on the School's behalf, students who use the Services under the supervision of that School, and parents and legal guardians of those Students. These Terms of Use and any additional terms which make reference to these Terms of Use and are incorporated herein and any other contractual terms (including without limitation contracts with School) are collectively referred to herein as the "Agreement".

IXL School customers may have access to other IXL services, such as Vocabulary.com, through the School license. If you utilize this feature of the School license, you accept and agree to the Vocabulary.com Terms of Service in addition to this Agreement. IXL shall process Student Data in the same manner as described in this Section 5, School Accounts and Student Data, below.

By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked "I Agree" (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the Agreement, and to the collection, processing and sharing of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. IXL reserves the right to modify this Agreement so long as it provides notice of these changes to you as described below.

A note about Student Data: This Service may be purchased by Schools for educational purposes. When IXL contracts with a School to provide the Service to Students on behalf of the School, we may collect or have access to Student Data (defined below), which may be provided by the School or by the student. We consider Student Data to be strictly confidential and in general do not use such data for any purpose other than improving and providing our Services to the School or on the school's behalf. Our collection, processing and sharing of Student Data is governed by this Agreement and any applicable laws and regulations including, in the U.S., provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and applicable state laws, including without limitation, the Illinois Student Online Personal Protection Act ("SOPPA").

1. THE SERVICE

The Service helps its users to learn and practice various subjects including mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new or improved features to the Service shall be provided subject to this Agreement. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "as-is" and that IXL assumes no responsibility for any mistakes, errors, or omissions, including any unavailability of the Service or deletion or loss of any data relating to the Service, or, when necessary, your lack of authority to provide the requisite consent and authorization for IXL to provide the Service.

IXL grants you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right and license to use the Service. You agree that you will not copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. You agree not to modify the Software in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the Software, including (without limitation) for obtaining unauthorized access to the Service. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by IXL for use in accessing the Service.

To use the Service, you must obtain access to the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content and pay any service fees or other costs associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device.

2. ELIGIBILITY AND AUTHORITY

IXL does not sell the Service to children, but only to adults who can purchase the Service with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent, legal guardian, or at the direction of your School. Your School may impose additional policies regarding the use of the Service, with which you must comply.

If you open an IXL account to provide the Service to students in a School, then (i) "you" includes you and that School, and (ii) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the School with the authority to bind the School to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the School's behalf.

If you open an IXL account to provide the Service to a minor child outside of an educational setting, then: (i) you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of the minor child, or, to the extent permitted by law, you have the appropriate authority to provide consent for the minor child to use the Service, and (ii) you accept this Agreement on behalf of the minor child and that you are responsible for the child's activity on the Service.

If you contact IXL to take any action with respect to an account, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the account-holder (e.g., a School or Parent).

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or IXL has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, IXL has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

4. GENERAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION

IXL sells access to the Service to a subscriber in the form of an account. Each account is provided for a term and price subject to certain renewal, cancellation, and other terms and conditions specific to the account (the "Account Terms"). The Account Terms are identified (in order of precedence) in the then-current quote or sales contract for the account, the selections made and account-specific terms disclosed when signing up for the account (which may be confirmed by e-mail), the description of account terms accessible through the IXL website when signed in to an appropriate user associated with the account and the default Account Terms set forth below. Each account may have Account Terms in addition to or different from those as set forth in this Agreement, but only to the extent set forth in a signed writing by the account subscriber and an officer of IXL.

IXL provides a variety of "account types" which may apply depending on the subscriber and the way an IXL account is created. Each account type has a default set of Account Terms which apply unless superseded as set forth above. IXL reserves the right to provision accounts that do not belong to any of these default account types and/or to provision accounts with different Account Terms regardless of its account type.

Account Types:

  • Family Account — A family account is purchased by or for a Parent. Family accounts are generally only available for purchase through the IXL website or a third-party app store using a credit card. A family account typically includes child profiles that can be used by a Parent's child at the Parent's direction. Family account subscriptions are generally for a term of one month or one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. If multiple terms are available, the term can be selected at the time of purchase or later changed by contacting support@ixl.com. Family accounts automatically renew. See Section 6 below for more information about automatic renewal and cancellation of automatically renewing accounts.
  • Independent Learner Account — An independent learner account is purchased by or for an adult learner. Independent learner accounts are generally only available for purchase through the IXL website using a credit card. Independent learner account subscriptions are generally for a term of one month or one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. The term can be selected at the time of purchase or later changed by contacting support@ixl.com. Independent learner accounts automatically renew. See Section 6 below for more information about automatic renewal and cancellation of automatically renewing accounts.
  • Classroom Account — A classroom account is purchased by or on behalf of a school, such as by a teacher. Classroom accounts may generally be purchased either through the IXL website, or by phone or e-mail. A classroom account typically includes a single teacher user and a small number of student users (which may vary depending on the purchase). A classroom account is typically for a term of one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Classroom accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., teacher) to renew and continue using a classroom account past the end of the term. A classroom account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.
  • Site Account — A site account is purchased by or on behalf of a school or school district. Site accounts may be purchased by phone or e-mail. A site account typically includes an unlimited number of teacher users and a set maximum number of student users (which may vary depending on the purchase). A site account may be for a term of one year or longer. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Site accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., school administrator) to renew and continue using a site account past the end of the term. A site account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.

Quotes and Proposals: Any quotes or proposals provided by IXL are valid only for a limited time and are effective only with the agreement of the relevant parties. Quotes and proposals may be withdrawn by IXL at any time in its sole discretion. Quotes and proposals may include information that is proprietary and confidential to IXL and to the maximum extent permitted by law may not be disclosed to anyone other than their intended recipient. By requesting and/or accepting receipt of a quote or proposal from IXL you agree to keep such quotes or proposals confidential, to not disclose such quotes or proposals to any third party, and to immediately return and/or destroy all quote and proposal materials upon receiving a request to do so from IXL. To the extent that public records laws may apply to a quote or proposal provided by IXL, you agree to immediately notify IXL of any public records request that may result in disclosure of an IXL quote or proposal and provide IXL all reasonable opportunities to take steps to prevent such disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by law and will reasonably cooperate with IXL.

Payments: School accounts have the option to make payment by credit card, check, or other methods at IXL's discretion (contact us for details). Payment must be received by IXL no later than 30 days after IXL issues an invoice. If IXL does not receive payment within 30 days, the invoice is past due and IXL reserves the right to suspend access to the affected school account(s) and take collection action. Suspension of an account does not relieve the account-holder of its obligation to pay for the account. IXL reserves the right to charge a late fee in the amount of 1% per month or the maximum permitted by law and its reasonable attorney's fees in securing payment of past due amounts.

Cancellation: Except as set forth below or otherwise agreed by IXL in a signed writing, accounts may not be canceled until the end of the current term of the account. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all cancellations requested before the end of the then-current term will be effective at the end of the current term.

IXL permits early cancellations only in the following circumstances:

  • In the event that the Service is permanently discontinued.
  • IXL otherwise permits early cancellations only to the extent required by applicable law. In the event of such an early cancellation, the parties agree that the account-holder is responsible for all amounts due and payable before the date of early cancellation without pro-ration or to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that IXL's efforts in selling, provisioning and providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, pro-ration of fees in the event of early cancellation is not necessary or appropriate.

End of Subscription: When an account subscription ends (e.g., at the end of the term if the account has not been renewed or has been canceled), the account no longer permits access to the Service. However, IXL may, at its sole discretion, permit continued, limited access for users of the Account for a limited time after the conclusion of the term. The Service includes built-in capabilities to download and export information relating to the account. If an account-holder or any of its users wishes to save or maintain any data or User Content, it is the account-holder and its user's sole obligation to download such data before the conclusion of the term. Once the term of an account ends, IXL may delete data relating to an account in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. It is the account-holder's sole responsibility to request renewal of accounts that do not automatically renew to maintain continued access to the account and its associated data.

5. SCHOOL ACCOUNTS AND STUDENT DATA

This Section 5 applies to a School's use of the IXL Service. If your School utilizes the services of an IXL affiliate made available through the School customer license (such as Vocabulary.com), this Section 5 applies to the collection of Student Data through the affiliate service as well.

When IXL is used by a School for an educational purpose, IXL may collect or have access to Student Data that is provided by the School or by a student. "Student Data" is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student and, in the U.S., may include "educational records" as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA").

The School or the student, and not IXL, owns and controls the Student Data. You authorize IXL to access, collect, transmit, modify, display and store Student Data to provide the Service and as described in this Agreement and in our Privacy Policy.

The U.S. Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that online service providers obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. When IXL collects and uses children's personal information at the direction of and under the control of a School, we rely on the School to provide the requisite consent and authorization, as permitted by COPPA. If you are a School providing the Service to children under 13, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide consent and authorization for IXL to collect and use information from students under 13 before allowing such students to access our Service. Upon request, we will provide the School the opportunity to review and delete the personal information collected from students. We recommend that all Schools provide appropriate disclosures to students and parents regarding their use of service providers such as IXL and that they provide a copy of our Privacy Policy and the IXL Learning Student Data Privacy Pledge to parents.

Compliance with Laws. In the U.S., IXL may collect and process Student Data as a School Official with a legitimate educational interest pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Individually and collectively, we and our School Users agree to uphold our obligations under FERPA, COPPA, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment ("PPRA"), applicable State laws relating to student data privacy, and with all other laws and regulations governing the protection of Student Data.

Student Data may be considered "sensitive" under certain applicable United States ("U.S.") state privacy laws, or in some cases, Student Data may contain, contain information (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity) that is considered to be "sensitive." To the extent that US state privacy laws apply to Schools' use of IXL for educational purposes, IXL collects, processes and shares Student Data as a processor and the School is the controller of such data. To the extent that consent is required to process sensitive personal data under applicable US state privacy laws, IXL obtains consent in a manner consistent with COPPA and IXL does not sell Student Data, nor use Student Data for targeted advertising.

For School customers outside the U.S., IXL serves as a processor for Student Data. To the extent required for the lawful processing of persona data under applicable data protection laws, it is your sole responsibility to provide appropriate notice and obtain valid consents for IXL's processing purpose before allowing minor students to use the Service.

Use of Student Data. By submitting, providing us access to, or causing us to receive Student Data, you agree that IXL may use the Student Data for the purposes of (i) providing the Service, (ii) improving and developing our Service, (iii) enforcing our rights under these Terms, and (iv) as permitted with the School's or the User's consent.

Use of De-Identified or Anonymized Student Data. You agree that both before and after the term of the Agreement, IXL may collect, analyze, use, and retain data derived from Student Data as well as data about users' access and use of the Service, for the purpose of operating, analyzing, improving or marketing the Service, developing new products or services, conducting research or other purposes, provided that IXL may not share or publicly disclose information that is derived from Student Data unless such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.

Use of Personal Information for Marketing. You agree that IXL may provide customized content, advertising, and commercial messaging to school, teacher or district administrative users and other non-student users from time to time, provided that such advertisements shall not be based on Student Data. For emphasis, and without limitation, IXL shall never use Student Data to engage in targeted advertising.

Disclosure of Student Data and Third-Party Service Providers. You acknowledge and agree that IXL may provide access to Student Data to our employees and service providers which have a legitimate need to access such information to provide their services to us. We and our employees, affiliates, service providers, or agents involved in the handling, transmittal, and processing of Student Data will be required to maintain the confidentiality of such data. IXL shall not share Student Data with third parties other than as described in this Agreement and in the IXL Privacy Policy, or otherwise with the consent, or at the direction, of the School or parent. IXL may share Student Data with third parties through the Service as directed by a School or School administrative user with authority over such Student Data, which includes sharing Student Data with other School users who are authorized to access messages and content sent through the Service.

Student Data Access and Deletion Requests. A School may request that we delete Student Data in our possession at any time by providing such a request in writing, and we shall comply with such request within thirty (30) days. A parent or student over the age of 18 seeking to access, modify, correct, or delete personal information in a student account that is connected to a School account will be instructed to contact the School to discuss data deletion or modification. Please note: We may not be able to immediately or completely delete all data in all instances, such as information retained in technical support records, customer service records, backups and other similar business records. We are not required to delete data that has been de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify a specific individual. We will also not delete any data that has been transferred to a personal family account, or any data we are required or permitted to retain by law.

Data Security and Breach Notification. We have implemented administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to secure the personal information in IXL's possession and control from unauthorized access, disclosure and use. If an unauthorized party gains access to or has been disclosed Student Data (a "Security Event"), that we have collected or received through the Service under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the School. If, due to a Security Event which is caused by the acts or omissions of IXL or its agents, a notification to an individual, organization or government agency is required under applicable privacy laws, the School shall be responsible for the timing, content, and method of any such legally-required notice and compliance with such laws and IXL shall indemnify the School for reasonable costs related to legally-required notifications. With respect to any Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of IXL or its agents, IXL shall reasonably cooperate with School's investigation of the Security Event, as School requests, at School's reasonable expense, but IXL shall not indemnify a School for costs associated with the Security Event. IXL shall be responsible for the timing, content, cost and method of notice and compliance with such laws as they relate to users that are not associated with a School account.

State Specific Terms. The following additional terms may apply depending on the state a School is located:

IXL will, however, comply with requests for deletion of student information, student, records, or student-generated content that is restored from such disaster recovery storage systems.
  3. IXL will not use student information, student records and student-generated content for any purposes other than those authorized pursuant to this Agreement.
  4.

This restriction shall not apply to the extent that a student, parent or legal guardian of a student independently establishes or maintains an electronic account with IXL for the purpose of storing their student-generated content.
  8. IXL and the local or regional board of education shall ensure compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 USC 1232g, as amended from time to time.
  9. The laws of the state of Connecticut shall govern the rights and duties of IXL and the local or regional board of education.

Please note that prices and charges are subject to change with notice. As used in this Agreement, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method.

You acknowledge that the amount billed each billing period may vary for reasons that include differing amounts due to changes in your membership plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in Payment Method, such as your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information from your Subscription details page. To access your Subscription details page, sign in to your IXL account, click on the account menu in the upper-right corner, and select Subscription details. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

You must cancel your membership before it renews each billing period to avoid billing of the next membership fee to your Payment Method. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month or year thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. Sign in to your IXL account, click on the account menu in the upper-right corner, and select Subscription details to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month or year on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership charges are fully earned upon payment.

Note: In the event your monthly membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you became a paying member on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28.

Cancellation of Automatic Renewals. You may cancel your IXL membership at any time, and cancellation will be effective immediately. You will continue to have access to the program until the current billing period ends. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partially used membership periods. To cancel your membership, sign in to your IXL account and click the words "Cancel membership" on your Subscription details page. Follow the instructions for cancellation under the heading "Cancel Membership."

30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not satisfied, a full refund of the purchase price can be requested within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Date. The thirty-day money back guarantee is limited to purchases made directly through IXL.com and does not apply to purchases made through any third-party vendor including Apple or Google.

Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust the pricing for our Service, including but not limited to membership subscription plans, in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any price changes will take effect following posting or other notice to you (e.g., e-mail).

Purchases through Third-Party Stores. If you purchased your IXL membership through a third-party store, such as through your Apple iTunes or Google Play account, portions of this Section may not apply to you. Because such a purchase is between you and the third-party store, and not IXL, you acknowledge and agree that IXL is not responsible for billing for your membership and is not responsible or liable for any claims relating to the billing of your purchase. If you have questions about membership or billing, you should contact the Apple iTunes store directly.

The formation, performance, construction, validity and enforceability of these Terms of Service shall be governed by federal law and the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles, except that the Arbitration Agreement set forth in Paragraph 22 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. For avoidance of doubt, the State Specific provisions of Paragraph 5, above, shall also govern where applicable. This Agreement is a contract for the provision of services and not a contract for the sale of goods. The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA), or any substantially similar legislation as may be enacted, shall not apply to this Agreement. If you are located outside of the territory of the United States, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not govern this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Mateo County, California, USA, for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm.

22. ARBITRATION

READ THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM IXL.

A.  Except as set out in sub-paragraph B, below, you and IXL agree to resolve any claim, counter or cross claim, issue, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS. The contact information for JAMS, and a link to the applicable JAMS rules, may be found at www.jamsadr.com. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term Claims includes any Claim arising out of or relating to your use of the Service as defined in the Terms of Services or use of any of the following (i) www.ixl.com, (ii) mobile applications associated with www.ixl.com, and (iii) any other IXL website, app or online service which links to these Terms of Service. The term Claims also includes any Claims arising out of or relating to the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement including Claims of fraud, duress, unconscionability or violation of public policy. All Claims as defined by this paragraph are expressly delegated to the arbitrator and all such Claims are subject to arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you or IXL may file Claims in small claims court, so long as the Claims remain in such court and advance only as to individual (i.e., non-class and/or non-representative) claims for relief. If Claims filed in small claims court advance into a purported class or representative action either party may require the litigation to be stayed for such Claims to be arbitrated on an individual basis.

B.  The following "Excluded Claims" are not covered by or subject to arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement and shall be decided by a court and not the arbitrator: (1) Claims filed by IXL to prevent or enjoin the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights; (2) Claims that you have failed to satisfy the requirement to engage in good faith resolution prior to filing a demand for arbitration (as set out in sub-paragraph C); (3) a request for a public injunctive relief remedy, which shall be determined in court in accordance with sub-paragraph H; (4) any Claim brought as part of a Mass Arbitration, which shall be determined in accordance with sub-paragraph I; (5) Claims for temporary or provisional remedies to preserve the status quo pending the appointment of an arbitrator; (6) disputes regarding the characterization of a Claim as excluded or not under this definition of Excluded Claims.

C.  As part of this Arbitration Agreement, you agree to make a good faith effort to resolve any Claim informally prior to initiating a formal arbitration proceeding (by filing a demand for arbitration). Before filing a demand for arbitration, you must send a notice to the other party that describes the Claim. The notice must include your name and contact information (address, telephone number, and email address) and a detailed description of (1) the nature and basis of the Claim and (2) the nature and basis of the relief sought, with a detailed calculation of the amount of any monetary Claim. Your notice shall be sent by mail to Legal Department, IXL Learning, Inc., 777 Mariners Island Blvd., Suite 600, San Mateo, CA 94404, USA, or by email to: legalnotices@ixl.com. You must personally sign the notice. If requested by IXL, you must personally participate in a telephone settlement conference. If you are represented by counsel, counsel may also participate to discuss the Claim, but the discussion must be conducted solely with respect to your individual Claim. If the Claim is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice (which period can be extended by agreement of you and us), you or IXL may commence an arbitration proceeding under the terms set forth below. Compliance with and completing this informal dispute resolution process on an individualized basis is a condition precedent to filing a demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is at issue, that issue must be decided by a court at either party's election; any arbitration proceeding (including any obligations to pay further fees) shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin or stay the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration or litigation in breach of this Arbitration Agreement.

D.  After completing good faith negotiation in accordance with sub-paragraph C, you or IXL may demand arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the applicable JAMS rules. If there is any reason that an arbitrator cannot be selected or cannot serve, or if JAMS is unavailable or declines to serve as an arbitration administrator under this Arbitration Agreement, you and IXL agree that an arbitration administrator or arbitrator will be selected by agreement of the parties or by a court. If you are a School or are using the Service for commercial purposes, the arbitration will be conducted in San Mateo County, California, USA, unless you and IXL agree otherwise. If you are a parent or student, the arbitration shall, at your request, be conducted in the county of your residence. If you are a School or are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual (including a parent or student) using the Service for non-commercial purposes, IXL will pay fees and costs charged to you by the arbitration administrator and/or the arbitrators if, in a writing signed by you, you allege in good faith to be unable to afford these fees.

E.  The Terms of Service evidence a transaction in interstate commerce. Accordingly, this Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the "FAA"). The arbitrator will decide the Claim or Claims in accordance with applicable substantive law including federal law. Where a dispute as to the applicable substantive law is raised as an issue, the arbitrator shall determine the applicable substantive law notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms of Service.

F.  You and IXL agree that, by agreeing to arbitrate, the parties are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or a trial before a judge in court. You and IXL acknowledge that arbitration will limit your and our legal rights, including the right to participate in a class action, the right to a jury trial, the right to conduct full discovery, and the right to appeal in court.

G.  You and IXL agree that in arbitration each may bring Claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, attorney general, representative, or via a Mass Arbitration filing as defined below. Further, unless mutually agreed to by you and us, the Claims of two or more persons may not be joined, consolidated, or otherwise brought together in the same arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no authority to conduct any class action, Mass Arbitration, private attorney general or other representative proceeding.

H.  Neither you nor IXL will have the right to seek public injunctive relief in arbitration as a remedy for any Claim against one another (a "Public Injunctive Relief Request"). Accordingly, the arbitrator may not issue injunctive relief beyond that necessary to remedy your own alleged injury or to prevent future injury to you alone. Under no circumstances may an arbitrator award public injunctive relief. Instead, you and IXL agree that a request for a Public Injunctive Relief remedy may be litigated in court, but adjudication of that request (and any opposition to it) in court will be stayed until all arbitrable Claims have been resolved in arbitration. For avoidance of doubt, the validity, enforceability, and effect of this sub-paragraph shall be determined exclusively by a court, and not in arbitration.

I.  Mass Arbitration Waiver. As used in this Mass Arbitration Waiver, "Mass Arbitration(s)" means and refers to when (1) 250 or more demands for arbitration asserting the same or similar Claims as asserted by you are (2) made against us and/or sought to be compelled to arbitration against us during any rolling 180-day period, and (3) representation for the claimants (including you) to such demands for arbitration is consistent or coordinated by one or more affiliated, coordinated or associated lawyers or law firms. It is acknowledged, understood and agreed that under this Arbitration Agreement between you and us, there is not and has never been any intent, agreement or expectation of the parties to allow the prosecution of Mass Arbitrations, which are not permitted. In the event that IXL reasonably believe that there are Mass Arbitrations being asserted, IXL may give written notice of such to you and the arbitrator (if appointed) in each of the arbitrations at issue and, upon giving such notice, IXL shall not have any further obligation to arbitrate those arbitrations, or pay arbitration fees, and they shall be automatically stayed, pending a motion by you or us seeking a determination in a court of competent jurisdiction that your Claims are or are not part of a Mass Arbitration. Should a court of competent jurisdiction hold that your case is not part of a Mass Arbitration, then the stay of arbitration shall be lifted and all fees otherwise due shall be payable. In contrast, if a court determines that the any arbitration demand made or sought to be compelled by you under this Arbitration Agreement is part of a Mass Arbitration, then IXL will not be required to arbitrate the Claims, and you will then be free to bring your Claims in a court.

In the event your arbitration demand is alleged by us to be part of a Mass Arbitration that must be pursued in court, IXL will not assert the statute of limitations or laches or other similar defense to your Claims if (a) a demand for arbitration was timely made by you with respect to the Claim before the expiration of any applicable limitations period and (b) you file your complaint asserting that Claim in court within the longer of the following timeframes: (i) the time remaining on the otherwise applicable limitations period, (ii) six months from the date appearing on our notice alleging that your Claim is part of a Mass Arbitration, or (iii) six months from the date that a court finally determines that your claim is part of a Mass Arbitration.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this sub-paragraph shall preclude JAMS from applying its reduced/graduated fee schedules for mass filings as defined under its Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines.

J.  The arbitrator is authorized to award remedies that would be available on an individual basis if the action were heard in a court. The arbitrator shall have the power to provide provisional remedies or interim measures to protect the effectiveness of the arbitration proceeding pending entry of the final arbitral award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to issues orders, or partial or preliminary awards (including orders ancillary to the conduct of the arbitration such as enforcement of scheduling and discovery orders and sanctioning non-compliance with his or her orders). The arbitrator may give and take such oaths as required by law, which shall be administered by a person authorized by law to give oaths. Either party may request that the arbitrator issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to comply with applicable law and explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and you or IXL may seek to have the award vacated or confirmed and entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

K. Notwithstanding any provision of this Arbitration Agreement, if any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement. However, if a court holds that the class action waiver set forth in sub-paragraph F is unenforceable, or an arbitrator conducts a class action or mass arbitration in arbitration, or enters an injunction that goes beyond providing a remedy for your own individual injury, and such holdings or actions are finally upheld on appeal, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed void and unenforceable with respect to any class action or mass arbitration actually conducted in arbitration and no arbitral award entered purporting to certify a class in arbitration, or awarding relief on a class-wide basis or mass arbitration basis, or providing injunctive relief beyond that necessary to remedy your own individual injury, shall be valid, enforced or confirmed.

23. ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS
