Limitation of Liability and Remedies
ACELLUS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES

SPECIAL DAMAGES) ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE COURSE(S) OR
SOFTWARE, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR UNDER ANY
WARRANTY, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ACELLUS HAS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE, INFRINGEMENT OF
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, AND LOSS OF PROFITS. ACELLUS
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR COURSE(S) OR SOFTWARE NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE OR
FOR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ACELLUS' TOTAL
LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID
FOR THE COURSE(S). THESE LIMITATIONS ON POTENTIAL LIABILITIES WERE AN ESSENTIAL
ELEMENT IN SETTING THE PRICE. ACELLUS NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANYONE TO
ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITIES.
In states where the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages is not allowed, the limitations or exclusions will apply to the greatest
extent permitted by law.
Waiver
The failure to enforce any provision of these Terms and Conditions of Enrollment
shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provisions nor prevent Acellus
thereafter from enforcing the provision or any other provisions of these Terms
and Conditions of Enrollment.
Severability
If any term, condition or provision in these Terms and Conditions of Enrollment
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful or
unenforceable to any extent, then it is the intent of the parties that such
court apply a rule of reasonableness and modify the term, condition or provision
in question so it will remain in effect to the greatest extent permitted by law.
In the event a court finds such procedure to be inappropriate, then such invalid
term, condition or provision will be severed from the remaining terms,
conditions and provisions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law. Headings in this document are for reference
purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or
extent of such section.
Time Limitation for Bringing Claims
YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE COURSE(S), OR ANY PART THEREOF,
OR THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ENROLLMENT MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR
AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.
Governing Law
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ENROLLMENT AND ANY SALE HEREUNDER WILL BE GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES.

TO ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
Arbitration
Any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise,
whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory, common law,
intentional tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to the course(s)
sold pursuant to these terms and conditions of enrollment, the interpretation or
application of these terms and conditions or the breach, termination or validity
thereof, the relationships which result from these terms and conditions
(including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with
third parties who are not signatories hereto), or Acellus' advertising and
marketing (collectively, a "Claim") arising hereunder that cannot be settled
amicably by the parties shall be settled by arbitration (the "Arbitration") in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, then in
force. The Arbitration shall be governed by the following rules: a) The
Arbitration hearings shall be held in Kansas City, Missouri; b) The dispute
shall be heard and determined by a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") who
shall be selected by agreement of both parties hereto; c) Each party will bear
its own cost of any legal representation, discovery or research required to
complete arbitration; d) The Arbitrator shall make his or her award in writing
within two (2) months of the start of the Arbitration - or within such
time-period as agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; e) The Arbitrator
shall have the authority to award costs to whichever party he or she deems
appropriate; and f) The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive,
and binding upon the parties hereto.
Once arbitration has been chosen by any party with respect to a Claim, neither
Acellus nor Parent will have the right to litigate that Claim in court or to
have a jury trial on that Claim or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery,
except as provided for in the applicable arbitration rules or by agreement of
the parties. Further, Parent will not have the right to participate as a
representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Claim.
Notwithstanding any choice of law provision included in these terms and
conditions of enrollment, this arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal
Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). Any court having jurisdiction may
enter judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator. The existence or results
of any arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, all matters pertaining to the collection of
amounts due to Acellus arising out of sales hereunder may be litigated in court
rather than through arbitration.
