You and HapGen Education agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and HapGen Education, and not in a court of law.
You acknowledge and agree that you and HapGen Education are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and HapGen Education otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and HapGen Education each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
2.2 Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 rules are available at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_and_Conciliation_Act_1996.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
2.3 Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 Rules. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the country of India.
2.4 Location and Procedure. Unless you and HapGen Education otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed ₹ 10,000,00 then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and HapGen Education submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds ₹ 10,000,00 your right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act Rules. Subject to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
2.5 Arbitrator's Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. HapGen Education will not seek, and hereby waives all rights HapGen Education may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if HapGen Education prevails in arbitration.

2.8 Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
