DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT

AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU AND THE

COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL OR TO

PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND THE COMPANY 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,

REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE

PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE

NOT PERMITTED.

Except as required by applicable law, you and the Company agree that any and all claims and disputes arising from or relating in any way to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, your use of the Website, or your and the Company’s dealings with one another shall be finally settled and resolved through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this section. The arbitration will be conducted by Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. (“JAG”) using one arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAG arbitrators in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAG. If JAG is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator that you and the Company both agree upon in writing or that is appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, the arbitrator, you, and the Company must abide by the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on telephone or online appearances and/or written submissions; and (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules, and the hearing (if any) must take place in New York, NY. The arbitrator’s ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are

simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court and review by a

court is limited. Neither you nor the Company will be able to have a

court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class

arbitration. You and the Company each understand and agree that by

agreeing to resolve any dispute through individual arbitration, YOU AND

THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ANY

DISPUTE SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS

ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR

PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of multiple

parties.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE, your use of the Website, or your and

the Company’s dealings with one another MUST BE COMMENCED IN ARBITRATION

WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. AFTER THAT ONE

(1)-YEAR PERIOD, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

You and we agree that all challenges to the validity and applicability of the arbitration provision—i.e. whether a particular claim or dispute is subject to arbitration—shall be determined by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding any provision in these terms to the contrary, if the class-action waiver above is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration. If the arbitration provision in this section is found unenforceable or to not apply for a given dispute, then the proceeding must be brought exclusively in the state courts of competent jurisdiction located in New York County, New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in New York, New York, as appropriate, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of each of these courts for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes, and you still waive your right to a jury trial, waive your right to initiate or proceed in a class or collective action, and remain bound by any and all limitations on liability and damages included in these Terms of Use. This arbitration agreement will survive termination of your use of this Website and your relationship with the Company. This arbitration agreement involves interstate commerce and, therefore, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law. Information on AAA and how to start arbitration can be found at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. If you wish to opt-out of the agreement to arbitrate, within 45 days of when you first use the Website or submit through the Website a request for information, you must send the Company a letter stating “Request to Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate” at the following address: Legal Department. Next Level Coder, LLC 271 W 47th St #30H, New York, NY 10036. In the event you opt out of the arbitration provision, you agree to litigate exclusively in the state courts of competent jurisdiction located in New York County, New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in New York, New York, as appropriate, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of each of these courts for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes, and you still waive your right to a jury trial, waive your right to initiate or proceed in a class or collective action, and remain bound by any and all limitations on liability and damages included in these Terms of Use.

limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or

degradation (including “line-noise” interference). If any provision of

effect and enforceable.
