Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

17.1) Export Control and Sanctions Compliance
The receipt and use of our Services may be subject to export control and economic sanctions laws of the United States and other applicable government authorities (“Export Control and Sanctions Laws”). You agree to abide by all Export Control and Sanctions Laws as they relate to your access and use of our Services. You will not, directly or indirectly, access or use our Services if you are located in a jurisdiction where the provision of our Services is prohibited by law (a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”), including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region.

19: Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully, as it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Akhris Academy and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or Akhris Academy seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Akhris Academy seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Akhris Academy waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Cook County, Illinois in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Akhris Academy agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Akhris Academy and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Akhris Academy agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 19 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and Akhris Academy agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee, and Akhris Academy will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Akhris Academy, Akhris Academy will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Akhris Academy agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Illinois and the United States sitting in Cook County, Illinois, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, meaning that you and Akhris Academy will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 19 by emailing us. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 20.
20:Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Illinois or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Illinois and the United States, respectively, sitting in Cook County, Illinois.
21: Changes to these Terms
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the amended Terms to our Services and update the “Last Updated” date above. We may also attempt to notify you by sending an email notification to the address associated with your account or providing notice through our Services. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of our Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services.
22: Termination
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
23: Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
24) Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Akhris Academy relating to your access to and use of our Services. Any additional or different terms proposed by you in any purchase order, request for proposal, or other document are hereby objected to by Akhris Academy and shall be void. The failure of Akhris Academy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by you except with our prior written consent. These Terms may be executed and delivered electronically and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall, when taken together, constitute a single document.
