These Terms constitute a binding contract between you and Graphite  Squad, LLC.

2. Modification to this Agreement.   

We may,  at  our  sole  discretion,  change  these  Terms, including  the  Graphite  Squad  Privacy  Policy,  from time to time. 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. Updated versions of  the Terms will  never  apply  retroactively  and  the  updated  Terms will  give  the  exact  date  they  go into  effect.  It is  your responsibility to check the Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services  following the posting of any changes to the Terms means you accept those new terms.   

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (including, but not limited to,  the  availability  of  any  feature,  database,  or  Content), whether  temporarily  or  permanently  at  any  time for any reason. You agree that Graphite Squad shall not be liable to your or to any third party  for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

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.

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.

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 

The initial term of this Agreement commences as of the moment you create an Account if you are a  Student,  or  the  effective  date  of  any  order  form  or  Licensing  Agreement  and,  unless  terminated  earlier pursuant to any of this Agreement’s express provisions, will continue in effect until the date  set forth in such order form or Licensing Agreement (the “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.

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.

CLAIMS OF  MORE  THAN  ONE  CUSTOMER  OR  USER  CANNOT  BE  ARBITRATED  OR  LITIGATED  JOINTLY  OR  CONSOLIDATED  WITH  THOSE  OF  ANY  OTHER  CUSTOMER  OR  USER.  If  any  court  or  arbitrator  determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any  reason or  that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis,  then  the arbitration provision set  forth  above  shall  be  deemed  null  and  void  in  its  entirety  and  the  parties  shall  be  deemed  to  have  not  agreed to arbitrate disputes.  

Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims  Notwithstanding  the parties' decision  to resolve all disputes  through arbitration, either party may  bring  an  action  in  state  or  federal  court  to  protect  its  intellectual  property  rights  (“intellectual  property  rights” means  patents,  copyrights, moral  rights,  trademarks,  and  trade  secrets,  but  not  privacy or publicity rights).
