These Terms and Conditions, its subject matter and Talking Yak’s and your respective rights under these Terms and Conditions, as well as any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Delaware, United States of America, excluding the conflict of law provisions of that or any other jurisdiction, regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Service. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SERVICE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except for Talking Yak’s right to seek injunctive relief as set forth below. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Talking Yak and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@Talking Yak.com within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Service.

If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send written notice to Talking Yak’s Administration Office of your intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Talking Yak should be sent by any of the following means: (i) electronic mail to legal@Talking Yak.com; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified mail to:

Talking Yak English Learning Pvt Ltd
WeWork Prestige Central,
36 Infantry Rd, Tasker Town,
Bangalore, Karnataka 560001

The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought; and (z) set forth your name, address and contact information. If we intend to seek arbitration against you, we will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.

The arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator in the Commonwealth of Delaware, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by these Terms and Conditions. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms and Conditions. If you initiate arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. We will reimburse all other AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees paid by you, unless the arbitrator determines that the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all such fees shall be governed by the AAA rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any claim where the potential award is reasonably likely to be $10,000 or less, either you or Talking Yak may elect to have the dispute resolved through non-appearance-based arbitration.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND TALKING YAK EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND TALKING YAK EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and Talking Yak agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the Commonwealth of Delaware, and you and Talking Yak each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. Notwithstanding the above, you agree that Talking Yak shall still be allowed to apply for and obtain injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
