These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Journey Within Foundation (“Company,” “we,” or “us“). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms“), govern your use and access to our services, programs, courses, and websites, including www.vanischool.com and all subdomains thereof, and include any content, functionality, and services offered on or through such services, programs, courses, and websites (collectively, the “Service“), whether accessed as a guest or a registered user.
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Service. By using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, found at www.vanischool.com/privacy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Service.

Please note: Section XIV of these Terms contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver that applies to all users. It affects how disputes with the Company are resolved. By accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by this arbitration clause and class action waiver. Please read it carefully.
THIS SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE. We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor are we a medical service provider. Content on the Service, which may include text, graphics, images, or other information produced by us or obtained from third party content providers, and other material contained on the Service, are for informational purposes only. Nothing on this Service is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read, seen, or heard on the Service. If you think you have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. We do not recommend or endorse any specific tests, products, procedures, opinions  or other information or services that may be made available to you through the Service.

All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Service thereafter. Any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Section XIV will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice (or to any claim that was filed) before the date the change is posted. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Service and update the “Last Modified” date at the top of these Terms. We will also endeavor to send a notice to the email address that you provided to us in order to let you know about revisions. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of revised Terms or notification thereof by email means that you accept and agree to the changes.

* Governing Law. All matters relating to the Service and these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, United States, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).

* Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action and Jury Trial.

* Generally. In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, the Company and you agree that any legal or equitable claim, dispute, action, or proceeding arising from or related to your use of the Service or these Terms (“Dispute“) will be resolved as follows to the fullest extent permitted by law.

* Notice of Dispute. In the event of a Dispute, you or the Company must give the other a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and a proposed solution (a “Notice of Dispute“). You must send any Notice of Dispute via e-mail to info@vanischool.com. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you by first class mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address. You and the Company will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, you or the Company may commence arbitration.

* Binding Arbitration. Any Dispute which has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein within sixty (60) days or such time period as you and the Company may otherwise agree, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all Disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final. The place of arbitration will be Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator’s decision will be written and binding on the parties and any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

* Arbitration Procedure. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time such arbitration is initiated. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. To the extent the forum provided by AAA is unavailable, the Company and you agree to select a mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution service and that such alternative dispute resolution service will apply the AAA Rules. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief to you only individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. The arbitrator has the power to award attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party, which will be part of the arbitration award. The arbitrator’s decision will be written and binding on the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

* Class Action Waiver. The parties agree that (i) no arbitration proceeding hereunder, whether a consumer dispute or a business dispute, may be certified as a class action or proceed as a class action, or on a basis involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other purchasers, or potential purchasers or persons similarly situated, and (ii) no arbitration proceeding hereunder may be consolidated with, or joined in any way with, any other proceeding. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or any document incorporating these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby.

* Venue. In the event that any Dispute cannot be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with this Section, you agree that such Dispute will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for Los Angeles County, California, and each of you and the Company hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such action. Notwithstanding this, the Company will still be allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.

* Amendment. Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, the parties agree that if we make any amendment to this arbitration agreement, that amendment will not apply to any claim that was filed prior to the effective date of the amendment or of which the parties had actual notice before the effective date of the amendment. The amendment will apply to all other disputes or claims governed by our arbitration agreement that have arisen or may arise between you and us.
