If changes to the Terms occur, we will notify you by posting the updated terms on  the Site, or by email  to  the email affiliated with your account.

3. Graphite Squad Account Creation, Use, and Conduct  

Graphite Squad Account Creation 

In order to use certain aspects of the Services, both Educators and Students are required to have a  Graphite  Squad  account  (“Account,”  as  further  defined  below)  and  provide  certain  information  about such Account holder as prompted by the account registration form.   

Educators:  To  register  an  Account  as  an  Administrative  User,  you  must  be  a  school  district,  an  accredited or state-approved school (whether public, private, or quasi-public), a certified teacher in  good standing with a recognized jurisdiction, or a homeschooling educator in order to subscribe to  our Services.   

Students: An Administrative User will provide the information for Student Accounts. Administrative  Users  represent  and  warrant  that:  (a)  all  required  registration information  submitted is  truthful,  accurate,  current  and  complete  and  (b)  the  Administrative  User  will  maintain  the  accuracy  and  completeness of such information.

Payment   

Creating an Account is free for Student Users.

To pay for such services, you must provide us with the information necessary to process such order  including,  but  not  limited  to,  your  billing  address  and  payment  method.  You  agree  to  pay  us  the  charges  incurred  in  accordance  with  these  Terms.    Graphite  Squad  reserves  the  right  to  restrict  access  to  your  Account  or  terminate  your  agreement  for  nonpayment  if  such  nonpayment  is  not  corrected within seven (7) days.  If you dispute any charges, you must inform us in writing within  seven (7) days of being billed by us. If our fees ever change, the changes to fees are effective after we  provide you with notice by posting the changes on the Services or by email.   

Third-Party Payment Processor 

We  use  third-party  electronic  payment  processors  ("Payment  Processors")  to  process  payments  for  services  or  products.  The  information  that  we  provide  to  and  receive  from  these  Payment  Processors and the manner in which such information is used and disclosed is described in further  detail in  the Graphite Squad Privacy Policy.

You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of each applicable Payment Processor, and in the  event  of a  conflict  between  these Terms and  the  Payment  Processors'  terms and  conditions,  then  these  Terms  shall  prevail.  You  further  agree  that  we  are  not  liable  for  any  loss  caused  by  any  unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment by a third party, except as a result  of our gross negligence.  

7. Term and Termination of Usage  

Term

Binding Arbitration  

If  the  parties  do  not  reach  an  agreed  upon  solution  within  a  period  of  30  days  from  the  time  informal  dispute  resolution  under  the  Initial Dispute Resolution  provision,  then  either  party may  initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below.  Specifically,  all  claims  arising  out  of  or  relating  to  these  Terms  (including  their  formation,  performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service  shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  its  Commercial  Arbitration  Rules  and  the  supplementary  procedures  for  consumer  related  disputes  of  the  American  Arbitration  Association  (the  “AAA”),  excluding  any  rules  or  procedures  governing  or  permitting  class  actions.  The  Commercial  Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at  +1.800.778.7879.  

The arbitrator, and not any  federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to  resolve  all  disputes  arising  out  of  or  relating  to  the interpretation,  applicability,  enforceability  or  formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms  are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration.

also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The arbitrator’s award shall be written,  and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.   

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in  court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration  could exceed  the  costs  of litigation and  the  right  to  discovery may  be more limited in arbitration  than in court.
