Arbitration of Disputes, Choice of Law, Venue, Class Action Waiver and Limitation of Actions

In the event of any controversy, claim, or dispute between the parties, including but not limited to any disputes arising out of or relating to these Agreements and/or the obligations and services to be performed thereunder, including any claims based on contract, tort or otherwise, you and Education Loan Center agree to resolve any and all issues on an individual basis solely through final and binding confidential Arbitration, conducted before a single arbitrator, governed by the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which may be viewed at www.adr.org or by calling AAA customer service at (800) 778-7879.

You and Education Loan Center Inc., agree to commence any such arbitration proceedings within one year of any claimed breach of contract or the reasonable discovery of the facts related to the dispute, and that any proceeding commenced after one year shall be barred and subject to immediate dismissal by the arbitrator. Any disputes between the Parties regarding the arbitrability of this Agreement, including any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, conscionability or formation of this Agreement and of this arbitration requirement, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and shall be resolved exclusively and solely by the arbitrator. All other issues shall be governed by the laws of the state of North Carolina, notwithstanding any Conflict of Law provisions thereunder. The Arbitration hearing shall take in the county Mecklenburg, North Carolina. The arbitrator shall be neutral, independent, and shall comply with the AAA code of ethics.

Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award made by the Arbitrator may be entered by any competent court with jurisdiction to enforce the award. You and Education Loan Center further agree that either you or Education Loan Center may bring claims against the other only in his, her or its individual capacity and not as a Plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, the parties agree that the Arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

The parties acknowledge that by proceeding in arbitration they are waiving the right to trial by jury, and that other rights that they would have if they went to court, such as discovery or the right to appeal the decision, may be more limited or may not exist. You and Education Loan Center agree to share the costs of the Arbitration equally, but each party shall pay for its own attorney’s fees and its own other costs associated with the arbitration, including any expert witness fees. However, in the event that a party fails to proceed with Arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the Arbitrator’s award, or fails to comply with the Arbitrator’s award, the other party shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, for having to compel Arbitration or defend or enforce the award. This section and the arbitration requirement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Education Loan Center account.
