★ GOVERNING LAW
This policy and any disputes related to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal actions or proceedings arising out of or related to this policy shall be brought exclusively in the federal courts in the District of Columbia, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this policy, the services provided by Savvy Biz Coach™, or the relationship between the you and the Company, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiation. If such efforts fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, the parties agree to submit the matter to mediation before a mutually agreed upon neutral mediator located in the District of Columbia with expertise in online coaching and business education.
The mediation shall be conducted in accordance with the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association or another recognized mediation service provider agreed upon by the parties. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses associated with the mediation, but the costs of the mediator shall be shared equally by both parties. The mediation will be conducted in English; each party is responsible for the costs of their own interpretive language services.
If mediation does not result in a resolution of the dispute, either party may pursue further legal remedies as permitted by this policy or by applicable law. Mediation is a condition precedent to the initiation of any legal proceedings, unless seeking injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights or prevent irreparable harm.
Nothing in this clause shall prevent either party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in the District of Columbia as necessary to protect its rights pending the outcome of mediation.
