To the maximum extent permitted by law, Asobo Education’s total liability for any claims arising from your use of the Service is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Asobo Education, Inc., its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (c) any content or data you submit to the Service that infringes the rights of a third party. This section does not apply to schools or districts to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. For schools and districts located in New York, the rights and duties of the parties shall also be governed by New York Education Law Section 2-d and its implementing regulations, to the extent applicable.

13. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days, either party may pursue binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

• Each party shall bear its own costs; arbitration fees shall be shared equally.

Exception for schools and districts: If you are a school, district, or government entity that cannot legally agree to arbitration or class action waivers, this section shall not apply to you. Disputes will instead be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.
