XXIV. Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH WINSHAPE AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION XXIV OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.

INDIVIDUALIZED DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION.  YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING TORT AND STATUTORY CLAIMS, IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, OUR PRIVACY POLICY, DATA SECURITY, OR DATA PRIVACY, INCLUDING ANY QUESTIONS OF ARBITRABILITY (REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY AS A “DISPUTE”), SHALL BE SETTLED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) BY A SOLE ARBITRATOR OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.  If you are an individual, then the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for consumer Related Disputes then in effect will apply.  If you are a business or legal entity other than an individual, then the arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Rules then in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any conflict between the AAA’s rules and these Terms and Conditions of Use, the Terms and Conditions of Use will govern.  The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. You and we each also agree that this Arbitration Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, not state law, apply and govern any questions regarding the enforceability of this dispute resolution provision, including all questions of arbitrability (despite the general choice of law provision set forth above). THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).

For any and all Disputes you have, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your Dispute by sending a written description of your Dispute to WinShape Foundation, Inc., ATTN: Risk Department, 221 Legacy Drive, Rome, Georgia, 31065(“Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute must contain enough information for us to attempt to resolve your claim, including (a) your name; (b) your email address and telephone number; (c) a written description of the problem, relevant documents, and supporting information; and (d) a good faith calculation of the damages you claim to have suffered and a statement of the specific relief you are seeking. You may be represented by an attorney or other person in that process. However, if you choose to be represented by an attorney or other person, you must also submit with your Notice of Dispute a signed, written authorization allowing us to discuss your Dispute with your attorney or other representative.

You and we each agree to negotiate any Dispute between us in good faith for a sixty-day period. You and we each further agree that neither of us may commence any arbitration or small claims proceeding unless you and we are unable to resolve the Dispute within 60 days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute and the party who sent the Notice of Dispute has made a good faith effort to resolve the claim during that time.

If we are unable to resolve your claim within 60 days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or we may start arbitration or small claims court proceedings. To begin arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: WinShape Foundation, Inc., ATTN: Risk Department, 221 Legacy Drive, Rome, Georgia 30165 and to the AAA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claims asserted in any request or demand for arbitration could have been brought in small claims court, then either you or we may elect to have the claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, by notifying the other party of that election in writing. Any dispute about whether a claim qualifies for small claims court will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding will remain closed unless and until the small claims court issues a decision that the claim must proceed in arbitration.

The arbitration of all disputes will be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be selected using the following procedure: (a) the AAA will send the parties a list of five candidates; (b) if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator from that list, each party shall return its list to the AAA within 10 days, striking up to two candidates, and ranking the remaining candidates in order of preference; (c) the AAA shall appoint as arbitrator the candidate with the highest aggregate ranking; and (d) if for any reason the appointment cannot be made according to this procedure, the AAA may exercise its discretion in appointing the arbitrator. All arbitrators appointed pursuant to this process are subject to the disclosure and disqualification procedures set forth in the applicable AAA rules and any applicable state laws or rules.

If you are an individual, then the arbitration will be held virtually or in the city/county in which you reside.  If you are a business or legal entity other than an individual, then the arbitration will be held in Atlanta, Georgia.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the applicable AAA rules. If you initiate an arbitration, you are required to pay AAA’s initial filing fee, but we will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeds the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county (or parish) of residence, subject to the restriction set forth in the following paragraph. Any facts, evidence, documents, or testimony introduced or produced in an arbitration proceeding may be used only in that proceeding and may not be disclosed, introduced, or used in another arbitration proceeding even if it involves the same or similar claims. We each also agree that the arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in any prior arbitrations not involving the same parties, even if they involved the same or similar claims.

An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous, or that your claim was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then we will not reimburse your initial filing fee and may seek an award of our legal fees or costs against you and/or your counsel. This Arbitration Agreement authorizes the arbitrator to award fees or other sanctions against your counsel. If you seek injunctive or declaratory relief, you agree that the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief in favor of you alone, and only to the extent necessary to resolve your individual claim.

The arbitrator will have the power to rule on their own jurisdiction, including any issues concerning the existence, validity, or scope of either this Arbitration Agreement, including whether any claim is subject to arbitration, provided that: (1) any dispute about whether a claim qualifies for small claims court will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator; and (2) a court will have the authority to determine whether the parties have complied with the informal dispute resolution procedures set out above and whether any claim you or we have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver included in these Terms and Conditions of Use.

WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”).  YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ON YOUR OWN BEHALF, AND NOT IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY CLASS OR PURPORTED CLASS, AND NO PROCEEDINGS COMMENCED HEREUNDER MAY BE JOINED WITH OR INCLUDE ANY OTHER PARTIES, OR CLAIMS BY OTHER PARTIES (WHETHER REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION). To the extent permitted by law, each party agrees that this limitation includes, but is not limited to, precluding each party from pursuing any claim for public injunctive relief, whether in arbitration or court. If we believe that any claim you have filed is inconsistent with this limitation, then you agree that we may seek an order from a court determining whether your claim is within the scope of this class action waiver.

If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that any part of this Arbitration Agreement cannot be enforced with respect to any claim, remedy, or request for relief, the rest of this Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply; provided, however, that if the Class Action Waiver is declared to be unenforceable or invalid, this entire Arbitration Agreement (other than this sentence) will not apply to that claim, remedy, or request for relief (but will still apply to any and all other claims, remedies, and requests for relief that you or we may assert in that or any other action). In any such case, you and we agree that we will arbitrate all claims, remedies, and requests for relief subject to individual arbitration first, and that any remaining unresolved claims, remedies, or requests for relief may be pursued in court only after the arbitrator’s award has been issued. In any such proceeding, the arbitrator’s factual findings will not be entitled to deference by the court.

XXV. No Agency Relationship

Neither these Terms, nor any Materials, programs, offers, features, or services of the WinShape Services, create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or other agency relationship between WinShape, its Affiliates, and you. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.

XXVI. Violations and Remedies

“Activity”: When we say “Activity,” we mean the program, event, retreat, training, camp or other activity or activities that you attend, participate in, volunteer for or otherwise join that we host, sponsor, plan or provide, whether by yourself or with other participants. You agree that this definition should be interpreted broadly so that this agreement governs any engagement we have with each other. We will refer to the place where the Activity occurs as the “Activity Space.”

“You/Your”: When we say “you” or “your,” we mean you, the participant or volunteer, who signs this Form, and if applicable, the Minor you are signing on behalf of. This agreement is personal to you; you cannot assign it to someone else.

“We/Us/Our”: When we say “we”, “us” or “our”, we mean WinShape Foundation, Inc., WinShape College Program, WinShape Teams, WinShape Marriage, WinShape Retreat, WinShape Camps, WinShape Homes, and to the extent lawful, the campus ministries, partners and churches supporting us in this Activity (if there are any doing so), and each of the foregoing’s affiliates, licensees, subsidiaries, agents and assigns, and their owners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives.

We are happy to have you participate or volunteer in the Activity! Before the fun can begin, you must read and agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement. To confirm your agreement with all three pages, please sign below.

1. You are responsible for following the rules and staying safe. We want this to be a great time together, but you are fully responsible (or in legalese, “solely liable”) for your actions, conduct and safety during the Activity, including following all rules, regulations and instructions. You agree not to use drugs or alcohol while participating or volunteering in the Activity, to wear appropriate clothing for the specific Activity, and not to do anything that you are not completely confident you can do safely.
2. You are aware of the risks and accept them. You are fully aware of the risks associated with volunteering or participating in the Activity and you accept and you assume all risks associated therewith (which can include, among other dangers, risks associated with congregating with groups of other people, risks associated with high ropes courses or other related teambuilding but stressful situations or other harm due to any unpredictable act, event, or other unknown). The foregoing expressly includes assumption of risks arising from our own negligent acts or omissions, negligent acts or omissions of volunteers or participants, and those of our independent contractors, vendors, franchisees, agents and supporters (including Chick-fil-A, Inc.) (together with us, called the “Released Parties”, and each individually, a “Released Party”).
3. You accept each of the Terms & Conditions. You confirm you have read, understand, and agree to the terms & conditions below, which terms & conditions (including the waivers and releases of liability) are an express part of this agreement. You further agree that if for some reason one of the below terms is not enforceable, then that will not keep the others from being enforced between us.Do not sign until you finish reading. By signing below, I acknowledge that I am freely and voluntarily agreeing to the below terms!

The Detailed Legal Stuff
(What our lawyers call, “terms and conditions.”)

1. You release us and waive your rights to sue/file claims. You fully understand and forever waive your rights to sue or file any claims against the Released Parties for any and all injuries, damages, actions, liabilities, demands of every kind and nature whatsoever, based on negligence or otherwise of the Released Parties or other persons participating in the Activity, to the extent allowed by law, whether for personal injuries, property damage, illness, death (including, among other illnesses, any disease, sickness, COVID-19 infection, or other health or chronic complications resulting from or related to COVID-19) or any other loss, by or on behalf of yourself (and/or that you as the Parent/Guardian have or may have on behalf of the Minor), related to your volunteering and/or participation in the Activity or your contribution to, and our use of, the Works (as defined below). This is a full waiver of your significant right to seek legal action against us for any claim related to the Activity. Do not sign above if you do not agree.
2. You will indemnify us in certain circumstances. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each of the Released Parties from and against any and all claims (including third party claims) for injuries, damages, actions, rights, and other liabilities (including reasonable attorney fees), whether for personal injuries, property damage (including damages to the Activity Space, whether or not we own it or simply rented or arranged it), illness, death (including, among other illnesses, any disease, sickness, COVID-19 infection, or other health or chronic complications resulting from or related to COVID-19) or any other loss, damage or expenses, related to or arising from (a) your participation or volunteering in the Activity, (b) use of your Works (as defined below), (c) your breach of or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. In other words, if we incur damages that arise from or relate to your participation in the Activities, you agree to, at a minimum, make us whole. And, if someone else incurs costs, damages or expenses that arise from or relate to your participation in the Activity, and that someone else requires that we pay them any amount or make them whole, you will then make us whole for the liabilities/losses we incur as a result of us making such party whole/making
   payments to them.
3. You can be a part of our marketing. Unless you expressly and clearly opt(ed)-out of this during your onboarding/registering with us through our internal system, you give the Released Parties the full rights, without charge, to use your name, picture, voice, image, and personal story partially or in full, in any media (collectively, the “Works”) for marketing, advertising and other lawful purposes worldwide now and in the future. We consider the recordings and media that we create and develop to be our “Works” and, therefore, we are the exclusive owner of all rights, including copyrights and other intellectual property rights, in the Works. We are excited to possibly use the recordings, materials and Works as opportunities arise now and in the future, and you agree that we do not have to notify you each time we wish to do so, nor do we have to get your review or approval each time and you waive any moral rights that may exist. We hope the recordings, materials, and Works will be great, but we also have the right not to use them. You agree that we do not have any payment, other compensation, or acknowledgement obligations to you. You also hereby represent to us that by using the recordings and materials, we are not violating the rights of a third party (e.g., a talent agency or your friend who is a photographer) who would have a claim to owning any rights to or in the recordings or materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to WinShape Marriage Intensives.
4. Your participation is voluntary and you are choosing to participate. You confirm that you have no medical conditions or physical limits which will impact your ability to participate in the Activity, and that your participation in the Activity is entirely voluntary. In other words, every action you take in the Activity is one that you alone choose to take. We are not forcing or coercing you in any way to take any action whatsoever as part of the Activity. Volunteers acknowledge they are not employees of us, will not be paid for their participation, and are not covered by or eligible for insurance, workers’ compensation, or other benefits.
5. Use of activity space and materials. You agree to treat the Activity Space with respect and due care, and you represent to us that you will not inflict any damage to any portion thereof, other than reasonable wear and tear resulting from responsible use. You agree not to endanger or injure any other participant. You also agree that we or our assigns own all of the program materials that we provide to you, and you agree to not violate any of our intellectual property rights therein by reproducing such materials or by otherwise taking any action that would suggest your ownership of them.
6. Confidentiality. You agree to keep our and your fellow volunteers’/participants’ confidential information just that, confidential, and you will not share it with anyone without our written permission. When we say “confidential information,” we mean any information that we tell you is confidential or that a reasonable person would consider confidential. Examples include sensitive personal stories, sensitive marriage issues and financial information. Take care of our and their confidential information just like you would your own. Don’t share it with anyone, including over social media, text, email or otherwise. Of course, you are free to use information generally available to the public (unless, of course, you caused our confidential information to be publicly available) or that you had or independently created without our confidential information (but be prepared to prove it). These confidentiality obligations continue past the date of the event you are volunteering for or participating in.
7. Cancellation of the activity. If you are joining us through a separate group (e.g., your church, school or employer has engaged us), then our agreement with such group will govern our cancellation policies. If you are joining us as an individual, or if our agreement with your group doesn’t discuss cancellation, then the following shall apply: (a) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing signed by both you and us, in the event you cancel your participation in the Activity at least thirty days prior to the start date of the Activity, you must pay us fifty percent (50%) of the Price/Fee. (b) No refund of any fee paid in advance will be issued if you cancel the Activity within thirty days of the start date of the Activity. (c) We reserve the right to cancel the Activity at any time without any obligation to provide a refund to you. (d) We will refund your Price/Fee if, during the 14 day period before the Activity, you either test positive for COVID-19 or are ill with COVID-19. We reserve the right to ask for supporting documentation before issuing this refund. This Section does not apply to volunteers.
8. Limitation on liability. Except to the extent caused by our gross negligence, we are not liable to you under this agreement for (I) indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental losses or damages, including lost profits, regardless of whether any such losses or damages are characterized as arising from breach of contract or otherwise, even if we are advised of the possibility of such losses or damages or (II) any damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses in any way arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement for any amounts in excess of the fees paid by you for the services provided in the activity or in the event of volunteers, five hundred dollars ($500).
9. You are an adult with capacity to sign. You represent that you are an adult (at least 18 or the age of majority in your state or country of residence with legal capacity to sign). You have read and understand this agreement, and it does not conflict with any other commitments you have made. You understand the agreement includes a waiver and release of claims against us. If signing (or if applicable, clicking the box and entering your name) this consent agreement on behalf of your minor child or ward, you represent that you have full legal capacity to execute this agreement on behalf of such minor child or ward and will not seek to disaffirm this agreement.
10. Miscellaneous. You agree that We can share Your personal information as appropriate with the staff, agents, employees, volunteers for purposes of facilitating Your registration and participation in a WinShape Activity with or by Us. Georgia law governs this Agreement (regardless of anything that could apply to change that). If we have a dispute related to this Agreement, you agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, USA. You agree that a breach of any of these terms and conditions, including confidentiality obligations, would cause us irreparable harm and that we will be entitled to seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief to enforce our rights. If a part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, then that part will be enforced as much as possible or removed, and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other parts. This Agreement can be changed only in writing signed by both of us. This Agreement reflects our complete understanding regarding the Activity and your participation or volunteering.You acknowledge that if you are a resident of California, you have been advised or had the opportunity to be advised by legal counsel, and understand your waiver includes the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 (“Section 1542”), which provides as follows:A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, being aware of Section 1542, you hereby expressly and voluntarily waive any rights you, your personal representatives, executors, heirs, next of kin and any other on your behalf, may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.Any translation of this Agreement is prepared for convenience of the parties and in the event of a dispute between the English version and any non-English versions, the English version of this Agreement shall govern.

El material legal detallado

1. Usted nos exime y renuncia a sus derechos de demandar/presentar reclamaciones. Usted comprende plenamente y renuncia para siempre a sus derechos de demandar o presentar cualquier reclamación contra las Partes exoneradas por todas y cada una de las lesiones, daños, acciones, responsabilidades, demandas de todo tipo y naturaleza, en función de la negligencia o de otro modo de las Partes exoneradas u otras personas que participan en la Actividad, en la medida permitida por la ley, ya sea por lesiones personales, daños a la propiedad, enfermedad, muerte (incluida, entre otras enfermedades, cualquier enfermedad, afección de salud, infección por COVID-19 u otras complicaciones crónicas o de salud que resulten de la COVID-19 o estén relacionadas con la misma) o cualquier otra pérdida, por parte de usted o en nombre de usted (o que usted, como padre/madre o tutor, tiene o puede tener en nombre del menor), que estén relacionados con su voluntariado o participación en la Actividad o su contribución a, y nuestro uso de, las Obras (según se definen a continuación). Esta es una renuncia total a su derecho significativo de iniciar acciones legales contra nosotros por cualquier reclamación relacionada con la Actividad. No firme arriba si no está de acuerdo.
2. Usted nos indemnizará en ciertas circunstancias. Usted defenderá, indemnizará y eximirá de responsabilidad a cada una de las Partes exoneradas contra todas y cada una de las reclamaciones (incluidas las reclamaciones de terceros) por lesiones, daños, acciones judiciales, derechos y otras responsabilidades (incluidos los honorarios razonables de abogados), ya sea por lesiones personales, daños materiales (incluidos los daños al Espacio de la Actividad, independientemente de que seamos propietarios del mismo o simplemente lo alquilamos u organizamos), enfermedad, muerte (incluida, entre otras enfermedades, cualquier enfermedad, enfermedad, infección por COVID-19, u otras complicaciones crónicas o de salud que resulten o estén relacionadas con la COVID-19) o cualesquier otras pérdidas, daños o gastos, relacionados o que surjan de (a) su participación o voluntariado en la Actividad, (b) el uso de sus Obras (según se definen más adelante), (c) su infracción o incumplimiento de las disposiciones de este Acuerdo o de la ley aplicable. En otras palabras, si sufrimos daños y perjuicios que surjan de su participación en las Actividades o se relacionen con esta, usted acepta, como mínimo, resarcirlos. Y, si otra persona asume o sufre costos, daños o gastos que surgen o se relacionan con su participación en la Actividad, y esa otra persona requiere que le paguemos cualquier monto o le brindemos una compensación, usted nos compensará por las responsabilidades/pérdidas en las que incurramos como resultado de que hayamos hecho pagos/compensado a dicha parte.
3. Usted puede ser parte de nuestro marketing. A menos que usted opte por excluirse (o haya optado por excluirse) de manera expresa y clara de esto durante su incorporación/registro con nosotros a través de nuestro sistema interno, usted otorga a las Partes exoneradas los derechos completos, sin cargo, de usar su nombre, fotografía, voz, imagen e historia personal parcial o totalmente, en cualquier medio (en conjunto, las “Obras”) para fines de marketing, publicidad y otros fines legales en todo el mundo ahora y en el futuro. Consideramos que las grabaciones y los medios que creamos y desarrollamos son nuestras “Obras” y, por lo tanto, somos los propietarios exclusivos de todos los derechos, incluidos los derechos de autor y otros derechos de propiedad intelectual, sobre las Obras. Nos complace tener la posibilidad de usar las grabaciones, los materiales y las Obras a medida que surjan oportunidades ahora y en el futuro. Asimismo, usted acepta que no tenemos que notificarle cada vez que deseemos hacerlo, ni tenemos que obtener su revisión o aprobación cada vez y renuncia a cualquier derecho moral que pueda existir. Esperamos que las grabaciones, los materiales y las Obras sean excelentes, pero también tenemos derecho a no usarlos. Usted acepta que no tenemos ninguna obligación de pago, otra compensación o reconocimiento con usted. Por el presente, usted también nos declara que, al usar las grabaciones y los materiales, no estamos violando los derechos de un tercero (p. ej., una agencia de talentos o su amigo que es fotógrafo) que tendría una reclamación de ser propietario de cualquier derecho sobre las grabaciones o los materiales. Sin perjuicio de lo anterior, esta Sección no se aplicará a las sesiones de terapia de pareja WinShape Marriage Intensives.

Estas obligaciones de confidencialidad continúan después de la fecha del evento para el que se ofrece como voluntario o en el que participa.

8. Limitación de responsabilidad. Excepto en la medida en que sean causados por nuestra negligencia grave, no somos responsables ante usted en virtud de este acuerdo por (I) pérdidas o daños indirectos, emergentes, punitivos o incidentales, incluida la pérdida de ganancias, independientemente de si se considera que dichas pérdidas o daños se derivan de incumplimiento de contrato o de otro motivo, incluso si se nos informa de la posibilidad de tales pérdidas o daños o (II) cualquier daño, reclamación, responsabilidad, costo o gasto que de cualquier manera surja de, en virtud de o en relación con este acuerdo, por cualquier monto que supere los cargos pagados por usted por los servicios prestados en la actividad o en el caso de voluntarios, quinientos dólares ($500).
