Terms of Service
Effective date: June 1, 2018
Thank you for your interest in using the online services operated by IXL Learning, Inc.
(hereafter called "IXL"). These Terms of Service govern your use of online and/or mobile
services, websites, and software provided on or in connection with www. ixl.com
(collectively, the "Service"), which are offered through (i) www.ixl.com, (ii) mobile
applications associated with www.ixl.com, and (iii) any other IXL website, app or online
service which links to these Terms of Service.
By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked "I
Agree" (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood and agree to be
bound by these Terms of Service (the "Agreement"), and to the collection and use of your
information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of
our Service. IXL reserves the right to modify this Agreement so long as it provides notice of
these changes to you as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and
others who access or otherwise use the Service ("you" or "Users"). If you open an IXL
account on behalf of a School, company, organization, or other entity, then "you" includes
you and that entity.
A note about Student Data: This Service may be purchased by providers of educational
services, such as schools, school districts, or teachers (collectively referred to as "Schools")
that use our services for educational purposes. When IXL contracts with a School to provide
the Service, we may collect or have access to Student Data (defined below), which may be
provided by the School or by the student. We consider such Student Data to be strictly
confidential and in general do not use such data for any purpose other than improving and
providing our Services to the School or on the school's behalf. Our collection, use and
sharing of Student Data is governed by this Agreement and any applicable laws and
regulations including, in the U.S., provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act ("FERPA"), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and applicable state
laws.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT
REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE
DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
1. THE SERVICE
The Service helps its users to learn and practice various subjects including mathematics,
language arts, science, and social studies. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new or
improved features to the Service shall be provided subject to this Agreement. You
understand and agree that the Service is provided "as-is" and that IXL assumes no
responsibility for any mistakes, errors, or omissions, including any unavailability of the
Service or deletion or loss of any data relating to the Service.
IXL grants you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right and license to use the
Service. You agree that you will not copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse
engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign,
sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. You
agree not to modify the Software in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the
Software, including (without limitation) for obtaining unauthorized access to the Service.
You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is
provided by IXL for use in accessing the Service.
To use the Service, you must obtain access to the Internet, either directly or through
devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees or other costs associated
with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such
connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device.
2. ELIGIBILITY AND AUTHORITY
IXL does not sell the Service to children, but only to adults who can purchase the Service
with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under eighteen (18) years
of age, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent, legal
guardian, or at the direction of your School. Your School may impose additional policies
regarding the use of the Service, with which you must comply.
If you open an IXL account to provide the Service to students in a School, you represent and
warrant that you are an authorized representative of the School with the authority to bind
the School to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the School's behalf.
If you contact IXL to take any action with respect to an account, you represent and warrant
that you have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the
account-holder (e.g., a School or Parent).
The U.S. Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that online service
providers obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from
children under 13. If you are a School providing the Service to children under 13, you
represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide consent on behalf of parents
for IXL to collect information from students under 13 before allowing such students to
access our Service. We recommend that all Schools provide appropriate disclosures to
students and parents regarding their use of service providers such as IXL and that they
provide a copy of our Privacy Policy and the IXL Learning Student Data Privacy Pledge to
parents.
3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current
and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form
(such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the
Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any
information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or IXL has reasonable
grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete,
IXL has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse all current or future use
of the Service (or any portion thereof).
4. GENERAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION
IXL sells access to the Service to a subscriber in the form of an account. Each account is
provided for a term and price subject to certain renewal, cancellation, and other terms and
conditions specific to the account (the "Account Terms"). The Account Terms are identified
(in order of precedence) in the then-current quote or sales contract for the account, the
selections made and account-specific terms disclosed when signing up for the account
(which may be confirmed by e-mail), the description of account terms accessible through
the IXL website when signed in to an appropriate user associated with the account and the
default Account Terms set forth below. Each account may have Account Terms in addition to
or different from those as set forth in this Agreement, but only to the extent set forth ina
signed writing by the account subscriber and an officer of IXL.
IXL provides a variety of "account types" which may apply depending on the subscriber and
the way an IXL account is created. Each account type has a default set of Account Terms
which apply unless superseded as set forth above. IXL reserves the right to provision
accounts that do not belong to any of these default account types and/or to provision
accounts with different Account Terms regardless of its account type.
Account Types:
Family Account — A family account is purchased by or for a Parent. Family accounts are
generally only available for purchase through the IXL website or a third-party app store
using a credit card. A family account typically includes child profiles that can be used by a
Parent's child at the Parent's direction. Family account subscriptions are generally for a term
of one month, six months, or one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. If
muitiple terms are available, the term can be selected at the time of purchase or later
changed by contacting help@ixl.com. Family accounts automatically renew. See Section 6
below for more information about automatic renewal and cancellation of automatically
renewing accounts.
Classroom Account — A classroom account is purchased by or on behalf of a school, such as
by a teacher. Classroom accounts may generally be purchased either through the IXL
website, or by phone or e-mail. A classroom account typically includes a single teacher user
and a small number of student users (which may vary depending on the purchase). A
classroom account is typically for a term of one year. The term is disclosed at the time of
purchase. Classroom accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the
school or its authorized representative (e.g., teacher) to renew and continue using a
classroom account past the end of the term. A classroom account is a type of school
account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.
Site Account — A site account is purchased by or on behalf of a school or school district.
Site accounts may be purchased by phone or e-mail. A site account typically includes an
unlimited number of teacher users and a set maximum number of student users (which may
vary depending on the purchase). A site account may be for a term of one year or longer.
The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Site accounts do not automatically renew.
Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., school
administrator) to renew and continue using a site account past the end of the term. A site
account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be
found in Section 5 below.
Quotes and Proposals: Any quotes or proposals provided by IXL are valid only for a
limited time and are effective only with the agreement of the relevant parties. Quotes and
proposals may be withdrawn by IXL at any time in its sole discretion. Quotes and proposals
may include information that is proprietary and confidential to IXL and to the maximum
extent permitted by law may not be disclosed to anyone other than their intended recipient.
By requesting and/or accepting receipt of a quote or proposal from IXL you agree to keep
such quotes or proposals confidential, to not disclose such quotes or proposals to any third
party, and to immediately return and/or destroy all quote and proposal materials upon
receiving a request to do so from IXL. To the extent that public records laws may apply to a
quote or proposal provided by IXL, you agree to immediately notify IXL of any public
records request that may result in disclosure of an IXL quote or proposal and provide IXL all
reasonable opportunities to take steps to prevent such disclosure to the maximum extent
permitted by law and will reasonably cooperate with IXL.
Payments: School accounts have the option to make payment by credit card, check, or
other methods at IXL's discretion (contact us for details). Payment must be received by IXL
no later than 30 days after IXL issues an invoice. If IXL does not receive payment within 30
days, the invoice is past due and IXL reserves the right to suspend access to the affected
school account(s) and take collection action. Suspension of an account does not relieve the
account-holder of its obligation to pay for the account. IXL reserves the right to charge a
late fee in the amount of 1% per month or the maximum permitted by law and its
reasonable attorney's fees in securing payment of past due amounts.
Cancellation: Except as set forth below or otherwise agreed by IXL in a signed writing,
accounts may not be canceled until the end of the current term of the account. Unless
otherwise provided for herein, all cancellations requested before the end of the then-current
term will be effective at the end of the current term.
IXL permits early cancellations only in the following circumstances:
In the event that the Service is permanently discontinued.
IXL otherwise permits early cancellations only to the extent required by applicable law. In
the event of such an early cancellation, the parties agree that the account-holder is
responsible for all amounts due and payable before the date of early cancellation without
pro-ration or to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that IXL's efforts in
selling, provisioning and providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, pro-
ration of fees in the event of early cancellation is not necessary or appropriate.
End of Subscription: When an account subscription ends (e.g., at the end of the term if
the account has not been renewed or has been canceled), the account no longer permits
access to the Service. However, IXL may, at its sole discretion, permit continued, limited
access for users of the Account for a limited time after the conclusion of the term. The
Service includes built-in capabilities to download and export information relating to the
account. If an account-holder or any of its users wishes to save or maintain any data, it is
the account-holder and its user's sole obligation to download such data before the
conclusion of the term. Once the term of an account ends, IXL may delete data relating to
an account in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. It is the account-
hoider's sole responsibility to request renewal of accounts that do not automatically renew
to maintain continued access to the account and its associated data.
5. SCHOOL ACCOUNTS AND STUDENT DATA
This Section 5 applies to a School's use of the Service.
When IXL is used by a School for an educational purpose, IXL may collect or have access to
Student Data that is provided by the School or by a student. "Student Data" is personal
information that is directly related to an identifiable student and may include "educational
records" as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA").
The School or the student, and not IXL, owns and controls the Student Data. You authorize
IXL to access, collect, transmit, modify, display and store Student Data to provide the
Service and as described in this Agreement and in our Privacy Policy.
Compliance with Laws, In the U.S., IXL may collect and process Student Data as a School
Official with a legitimate educational interest pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act ("FERPA"), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Individually and collectively, we and our School
Users agree to uphold our obligations under FERPA, COPPA, the Protection of Pupil Rights
Amendment ("PPRA"), applicable State laws relating to student data privacy, and with all
other laws and regulations governing the protection of Student Data.
Use of Student Data, By submitting, providing us access to, or causing us to receive
Student Data, you agree that IXL may use the Student Data for the purposes of (i)
providing the Service, (ii) improving and developing our Service, (iii) enforcing our rights
under these Terms, and (iv) as permitted with the School's or the User's consent.
Use of De-Identified or Anonymized Student Data, You agree that both before and
after the term of the Agreement, IXL may collect, analyze, use, and retain data derived
from Student Data as well as data about users’ access and use of the Service, for the
purpose of operating, analyzing, improving or marketing the Service, developing new
products or services, conducting research or other purposes, provided that IXL may not
share or publicly disclose information that is derived from Student Data unless such data is
de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.
Use of Personal Information for Marketing, You agree that IXL may provide customized
content, advertising, and commercial messaging to school, teacher or district administrative
users and other non-student users from time to time, provided that such advertisements
shall not be based on Student Data. For emphasis, and without limitation, IXL shall never
use Student Data to engage in targeted advertising.
Disclosure of Student Data and Third-Party Service Providers, You acknowledge and
agree that IXL may provide access to Student Data to our employees and service providers
which have a legitimate need to access such information to provide their services to us. We
and our employees, affiliates, service providers, or agents involved in the handling,
transmittal, and processing of Student Data will be required to maintain the confidentiality
of such data. IXL shall not share Student Data with third parties other than as described in
this Agreement and in the IXL Privacy Policy, or with consent of the School or parent.
You may request that we delete Student
Data in our possession at any time by providing such a request in writing, and we shall
comply with such request within thirty (30) days, except that IXL shall not be required to
delete Student Data that has been moved to a personal family account on the Service or as
otherwise prohibited by law. A parent or student over the age of 18 seeking to access,
modify, correct, or delete personal information in a student account that is connected to a
School account will be instructed to contact the School to discuss data deletion or
modification. IXL is not required to delete data that has been derived from Student Data if
such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a
specific individual.
Data Security and Breach Notification, We have implemented administrative, physical
and technical safeguards designed to secure the personal information in IXL's possession
and control from unauthorized access, disclosure and use. If an unauthorized party gains
access to or has been disclosed Student Data (a "Security Event"), that we have collected or
received through the Service under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the School. If,
due to a Security Event which is caused by the acts or omissions of IXL or its agents, a
notification to an individual, organization or government agency is required under applicable
privacy laws, the School shail be responsible for the timing, content, and method of any
such legally-required notice and compliance with such laws and IXL shall indemnify the
School for reasonable costs related to legally-required notifications. With respect to any
Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of IXL or its agents, IXL shall
reasonably cooperate with School's investigation of the Security Event, as School requests,
at School's reasonable expense, but IXL shall not indemnify a School for costs associated
with the Security Event. IXL shall be responsible for the timing, content, cost and method of
notice and compliance with such laws as they relate to users that are not associated with a
School account.
State Specific Terms, The following additional terms may apply depending on the state a
School is located:
5.1 Connecticut
This Section 5.1 applies to the use of the Service by Schools located in the State of
Connecticut. The purpose of this Section 5.1 is to document compliance with applicable
Connecticut state laws that may apply to the use of the Service by Schools in Connecticut,
such as Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. This Section 5.1 incorporates by reference
the definitions set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa.
If you open an IXL account to provide the Service to students in a School located in
the State of Connecticut, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so on
behalf of the local or regional board of education with authority over the School and that
you are authorized to communicate with IXL on behalf of the focal or regional board of
education.
IXL and you shall comply with all applicable sections of Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-
234aa-dd. The following terms shall apply as required by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234bb.
To the extent that any such required terms conflict with other terms in this Agreement, the
terms of this Section 5.1 shail apply.
a. Student information, student records and student-generated content are not the
property of or under the control of IXL.
. The local or regional board of education may request the deletion of any student
information, student records or student-generated content in the possession of IXL by
sending a request to compliance@ix!.com. As permitted by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-
234bb(2), IXL is not required to delete information prohibited from deletion or required to
be retained under state or federal law or stored as a copy as part of a disaster recovery
storage system and that is (i) inaccessible to the public, and (ii) unable to be used in the
normal course of business by the contractor. IXL will, however, comply with requests for
deletion of student information, student, records, or student-generated content that is
restored from such disaster recovery storage systems.
IXL will not use student information, student records and student-generated content for any
purposes other than those authorized pursuant to this Agreement.
. Astudent, parent or legal guardian of a student may review personally identifiable
information contained in student information, student records or student-generated content
and correct erroneous information, if any, in such student record by contacting their School.
IXL will respond to such requests in accordance with instructions sent by an authorized
School representative to compliance@ixl.com.
IXL will take actions designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of student
information, student records and student-generated content.
IXL will promptly notify the local or regional board of education in accordance with the
provisions of section 10-234dd when there has been an unauthorized release, disclosure or
acquisition of student information, student records or student-generated content.
Student information, student records or student-generated content shall not be retained or
available to the contractor upon expiration of this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply
to the extent that a student, parent or legal guardian of a student independently establishes
or maintains an electronic account with IXL for the purpose of storing their student-
generated content.
IXL and the local or regional board of education shall ensure compliance with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 USC 1232g, as amended from time to time.
The laws of the state of Connecticut shall govern the rights and duties of IXL and the local
or regional board of education.
If any provision of this Section 5.1 is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of the contract which can be given
effect without the invalid provision or application.
6. MEMBERSHIP AND BILLING FOR ACCOUNTS WITH AUTOMATIC RENEWAL
This Section 6 applies to accounts that have been created through the Service using a credit
card and automatically renew.
You can find specific details regarding your membership with IXL at any time. Simply sign in

by contacting us.
Billi 1 Aut tic R I
MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL FEES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR
CARD ON FILE EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (MONTHLY OR YEARLY), UNTIL YOU CANCEL.
By starting your IXL membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to
charge you the membership fee associated with the term of your membership (e.g.,
monthly or yearly) you chose during registration. Thereafter, we will automatically renew
your subscription on each (monthly or yearly) anniversary of your subscription date, and as
authorized by you by checking the box demonstrating your consent for automatic
monthly/yearly renewals of your subscription during the sign-up process, we will charge
your then-current payment method (or to a different payment method if you change your
account information) associated with your account with the applicable then-current fee and
any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed. Please note that prices and charges are
subject to change with notice. As used in this Agreement, “billing" shall indicate either a
charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method.
You acknowledge that the amount billed each billing period may vary for reasons that
include differing amounts due to changes in your membership plan, and you authorize us to
charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. Payments are nonrefundable and
there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. We may change the fees and
charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you
advance notice of these changes. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there
is a change in Payment Method, such as your credit card validity or expiration date, you
may edit your Payment Method information from your Membership details page. To access
your Membership details page, sign in to your IXL account, click on the account menu in the
upper-right corner, and select Membership details. If your Payment Method reaches its
expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your
account (see, "Cancellation" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment
Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
You must cancel your membership before it renews each billing period to avoid billing of the
next membership fee to your Payment Method. The membership fee will be billed at the
beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month or year thereafter
unless and until you cancel your membership. Sign in to your IXL account, click on the
account menu in the upper-right corner, and select Membership details to see the
commencement date for your next renewal period. We automatically bill your Payment
Method each month or year on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of
your paying membership. Membership charges are fully earned upon payment.
Note: In the event your monthly membership began on a day not contained in a given
month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you
became a paying member on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on
February 28.
You may cancel your IXL membership at any time,
and cancellation will be effective immediately. You will continue to have access to the
program until the current billing period ends. We do not provide refunds or credits for any
partially used membership periods. To cancel your membership, sign in to your IXL account
and click the words "Cancel membership" on your Membership details page. Follow the
instructions for cancellation under the heading "Cancel Membership."
Price Changes, We reserve the right to adjust the pricing for our Service, including but not
limited to membership subscription plans, in any manner and at any time as we may
determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in
this Agreement, any price changes will take effect following posting or other notice to you
(e.g., e-mail).
Purchases through Third-Party Stores, If you purchased your IXL membership through
a third-party store, such as through your Apple iTunes or Google Play account, portions of
this Section may not apply to you. Because such a purchase is between you and the third-
party store, and not IXL, you acknowledge and agree that IXL is not responsible for billing
for your membership and is not responsible or liable for any claims relating to the billing of
your purchase. If you have questions about membership or billing, you should contact the
Apple iTunes store directly.
7. ACCOUNT PASSWORD AND SECURITY
You will have a password and account designation upon completing the Service's
registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password
and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or
account. You agree to (a) immediately notify IXL of any unauthorized use of your password
or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account
at the end of each session. IXL cannot and will not be liable for any unauthorized access to
your account or data that arises from your acts or omissions.
IXL accounts may not be shared by more than one person or organization unless express
authorization is given by IXL Learning, Inc.
8. USER CONTENT
You are solely responsible for any content that you create, transmit or display while using
the Service.
The Service or IXL may now or in the future allow Users to submit, post, display, provide, or
otherwise make available content such as text, images, comments, questions, and other

otherwise makes available on the Service is referred to as "User Content").

derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also
hereby grant each User of the Service a non-exclusive license to access your User Content
through the Service, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such User
Content as permitted through the functionality of the Service and under this Agreement.

21. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the
Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over
us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be
governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its
conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a
transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with
respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). This
Agreement is a contract for the provision of services and not a contract for the sale of
goods. The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Uniform Computer
Information Transaction Act (UCITA), or any substantially similar legislation as may be
enacted, shall not apply to this Agreement. If you are located outside of the territory of the
United States, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods shall not govern this Agreement or the rights and obligations of
the parties under this Agreement.
You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in
San Mateo County, California for any actions for which we retain 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 our copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the
Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable
harm. You agree that San Mateo County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of
an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found
to be unenforceable.
22. ARBITRATION
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE
THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM IXL.
For any dispute with IXL, you agree to first contact us at legainotices@ixl.com and attempt
to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that IXL has not been able to
resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim,
dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as
provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this agreement, or the
breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration by JAMS,
under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as
provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be
conducted in San Mateo County, California, unless you and IXL agree otherwise. If you are a
School or are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for
paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules,
and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable
attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual
using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for
the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from
JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your
reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and
(iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in
arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal
dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as
preventing IXL from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary
to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data
security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
23. CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE
OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES,
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION,
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS
WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE
THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND IXL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION,
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY
KIND.
