If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.
To the extent that anything in or associated with the Site is in conflict or inconsistent with these Terms, the Terms shall control.

Except as required by law, all fees are nonrefundable, including, without limitation, in situations where paid posts are removed by We Succeed (or its partners), or by community flagging. Payments and purchases may not be canceled by the user, except as required by law. However, We Succeed (or its partners) reserves the right to refuse or terminate any purchase or attempted purchase at any time in its sole discretion.

14. Copyright Infringement
We Succeed
respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the
same. Thus, in your use of and interactions with We Succeed and the Site, you
may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any Content that is
copyrighted material belonging to others, without obtaining their prior written
consent. We Succeed reserves the right, in its discretion, to remove any
Content if we believe it may infringe the copyright rights of others, and/or to
terminate the accounts of Users who we believe to be infringers.
If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Site in a way
that constitutes copyright infringement, we will respond to notices of alleged
infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the
"DMCA"), a federal law that provides recourse for copyright owners who believe
that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S.
copyright law. If you believe in good faith that content or material hosted on
the Site infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send We Succeed. a
notice requesting that the content or material be removed, or access to it
blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or
electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the
copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted
works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such
works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or
the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to
allow We Succeed to locate the content or material within the Site; (d) the
name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the
complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith
belief that use of the content or material in the manner complained of is not
authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement
that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of
perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner
of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith
that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the
DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must
meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. We Succeed's
agent for notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property
infringement can be reached as follows:
By email: info@wesucceed.org.
We suggest that you consult with a legal advisor before filing a notice under
the DMCA. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the
DMCA.

22. Arbitration
This section explains the process of resolving any disputes between We Suceed and a Tutor; We Succeed and a Student; Tutor and Student; or We Succeed, a Tutor, and a Student. All disputes shall be resolved through arbitration instead of through the courts. Specifically:
Any controversy, claim, suit, dispute, injury
or damage arising from or in any way related to the Site, its use, its User
(e.g. Tutor, Student) conduct, or the Terms shall be settled by binding
arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in effect, which can be obtained at any
AAA office, at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800- 778-7879. If there
is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision, the
terms of the arbitration provision will control unless the arbitrator
determines that the application of the inconsistent terms would result in a
fundamentally unfair arbitration. This arbitration provision will be construed
and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ยง1 et
seq.
We Succeed and you will attempt to agree on a single arbitrator. If agreement
is not possible, each party will select its own arbitrator. Each party's
arbitrator will, in turn, confer and select a single arbitrator. The arbitrator
will base the decision on the evidence presented and in accordance with these
Terms and governing law, including statutory and judicial authority. The
arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a
court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. The
arbitrator will issue a written decision, which will contain the essential
findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator's
decision will be final and binding upon all parties.
YOU AND WE SUCCEED AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS, SUIT, INJURY, HARM,
LOSS OR DAMAGE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE SUCCEED AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY
NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT
OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS
PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY,
INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY
SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED
BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER WE
SUCCEED USERS.
The arbitration shall be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient
to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other
pertinent circumstances; and the judgment of the arbitration award may be
entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Each party will pay its own attorneys' fees, subject to any remedies to which
that party may later be entitled under applicable law. You will bear only those
costs of arbitration that you would have borne had you brought a claim covered
by this arbitration provision in court. If you demonstrate to the arbitrator
that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of
litigation, We Succeed will pay as much of the arbitration fees as the
arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being
cost-prohibitive.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, disputes may be brought before an
administrative agency to the extent applicable law requires access to an agency
notwithstanding the existence of this arbitration provision. Nothing in this
arbitration provision shall be construed to: (i) relieve any party of the duty
to exhaust administrative remedies by filing a charge or complaint with an
administrative agency and obtaining a right to sue notice, where otherwise
required by law; or (ii) prevent either party from cooperating with a federal
or state body as required by law. However, you understand that you are not
entitled to a double recovery or eligible to receive any monetary benefit from
any action brought by an administrative agency except as required by law.
To commence an arbitration against We Succeed, you must complete a short form,
submit it to the AAA, and email a copy to We Succeed, Inc. to info@wesucceed.org.
For more information, see the AAA's claim filing page. You may represent
yourself in the arbitration or be represented by an attorney or another
representative. Once we receive your arbitration claim, we may assert any
counterclaims we may have against you.
In the event that a tribunal or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines
that the arbitration provision is unenforceable, you agree that the exclusive
forum and/or venue for any controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage
arising from or in any way related to the use, inability to use or provision of
these Terms shall be any California State Court or Federal Court sitting in Riverside
County, and you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for
purposes of any such proceeding. You hereby submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of those courts for purposes of any such proceeding and agree not
to seek to transfer the matter to a different court for any reason. You and We
Succeed agree that any dispute is personal to you and We Succeed and that any
such controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage shall be brought on
an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated with any controversy, claim,
suit, injury, harm, loss or damage of any other party. However, this
representative action waiver may be severed if it would otherwise render these
Terms unenforceable.
23. Injunction
You agree that any material breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to We Succeed for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, We Succeed will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if We Succeed seeks such an injunction.
24. Notices; modification and termination of services; amendment of terms
We Succeed may provide notice to Users via email, text message, regular mail, or posting notices or links to notices on the Site. We Succeed reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend or terminate the services (or any part thereof), and/or use of or access to them, with or without notice. We Succeed may also delete, or bar access to or use of, all related information and files. We Succeed will not be liable to Users or any third-party for any modification, suspension, or termination of service, or loss of related information.

We Succeed may amend these Terms at any time in our sole discretion by posting the amended terms on this Site. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. You understand that your continued use of the Site or Services means that you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not accept the Terms of Service in its entirety, you must not access or use the Site or any of our Services.
