YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR SITE AND ANY AFFILIATE WEBSITES FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL MEAN YOU ACCEPT THOSE CHANGES.
This Agreement is not intended to alter the terms or conditions of any agreement you may have with Soccer Stars (including any Enrollment Agreement for Services), and to the extent of any conflict, the terms of your Enrollment Agreement will prevail.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY AS THEY FORM A BINDING AGREEMENT.
WHO WE ARE
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Soccer Stars classes.
Soccer Stars provides (a) physical, in-person programs of classes (e.g., live classes at a Soccer Stars location, partner location or public space) (“In-Person Instruction”) and (b) virtual / digital programs of classes, services and content (“Virtual Instruction”) through: (i) Soccer Stars websites (e.g., Soccer Stars @HOME and Soccer Stars Live Stream) (“Soccer Stars Website(s)”), (ii) mobile, desktop, or device applications (e.g., Soccer Stars Skills + Drills), (iii) video conferencing platforms (e.g., Zoom and Google Meet), and (iv) Soccer Stars-controlled social media accounts (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). The services provided by Soccer Stars (including all Soccer Stars-controlled digital outlets, e.g., the Soccer Stars Websites), whether provided through the In-Person Instruction and/or Virtual Instruction, shall be collectively referred to as the “Soccer Stars Services” or the “Services.”
By purchasing or using the Services, having your child/children (“Your Child(ren)”) attend In-Person Instruction, accessing or using any part of the Virtual Instruction, and/or visiting, browsing, or using the Soccer Stars website, you (also referred herein to as a “user”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, accept and agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), which form a binding agreement between you and us.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SOCCER STARS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: (I) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, (II) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE, AND (III) ANY OTHER WARRANTY THAT MIGHT ARISE UNDER ANY LAW.

SOCCER STARS CONSENT, WAIVER AND RELEASE
AFTER THE OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY INFORM YOURSELF ABOUT SOCCER STARS AND THE SERVICES SOCCER STARS OFFERS, ON BEHALF OF YOU AND YOUR CHILD(REN), YOU KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME AND ACCEPT ALL SUCH RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR ACT OR OMISSIONS OF THE RELEASED PARTIES (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED).
You understand and accept that the practice of soccer, both indoor and outdoor, involves certain risks of serious physical injury, exposure to disease or illness, and/or death. You, individually and on behalf of Your Child(ren), hereby assume full responsibility and all risks for yourself, your Child(ren), and other accompanying individuals in connection with your Child(ren)’s participation in the Services and all other Soccer Stars classes, programs and activities. You, individually and on behalf of your Child(ren), therefore forever waive, release, discharge, covenant not to sue and hold harmless Soccer Stars and each of its respective owners, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, location partners, media partners, associated charities, and sponsors, and each of their respective officers, directors, contractors, agents, representatives, employees, successors, assignees, and licensees (hereinafter, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, those related to injury, disability, death, and/or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Parties or otherwise, in connection with Your Child(ren)’s participation in the Services and all other Soccer Stars classes, programs and activities.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Soccer Stars in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Soccer Stars agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SOCCER STARS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions and Opt-Out. Despite the provisions of the Paragraph above, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. You have the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any disputes between you and Soccer Stars if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Legal at the Soccer Stars address set out in the Notices section below within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
Process. In the event that you and Soccer Stars are unable to resolve a dispute after meeting and attempting in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution, such dispute shall first be mediated by a retired judge or justice of any New York state or federal court. If the parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, either party may apply to the New York office of JAMS/Endispute, or its successor (JAMS) for the appointment of a mediator from a panel of retired judges and justices maintained by that organization.
If the Parties are unable to resolve their dispute by mediation, then either party may initiate arbitration of such dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS/Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedure in effect as of the date hereof, including the Optional Appeal Procedure provided for in such rules (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in New York County, New York before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Any appeal shall be heard and decided by a panel of three neutral arbitrators. The neutral arbitrator and the members of any Appeal Panel shall be retired judges or justices of any New York state or federal court. If either Party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other Party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in New York County.
Any dispute or portion thereof, or any claim for a particular form of relief (not otherwise precluded by any other provision of this Agreement), that may not be arbitrated pursuant to applicable state or federal law may be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County. If a Party believes in good faith that all or part of a dispute, or any claim for relief or remedy sought, is not subject to arbitration under then-prevailing law, then that Party may seek a determination to that effect from an appropriate court. If the court determines that the matter is not arbitrable or that the remedy sought is not available in arbitration, then the specific matter or request for remedy in question may be resolved by the court. All other matters and claims for relief shall be subject to arbitration as set forth above.
No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND SOCCER STARS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Soccer Stars agree otherwise, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may consolidate more than one (1) person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose.
Modifications. If Soccer Stars makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Soccer Stars address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Soccer Stars address for Notice, in which case your account with Soccer Stars will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.
Enforceability. If the No Class Actions subsection above is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described above will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles.

The Uniform Commercial Code, the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act, and the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
NO WAIVER

If we do waive a breach by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later breach by you.
