Please do not tell us anything that contains new or original ideas, in respect of which you might want, now or in future, to claim any form of proprietary rights.

Resolving Disputes
These Terms and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event of a dispute, we want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting info@sa-to.local. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 business days of submission, you or Sports Academy may bring a formal proceeding.
In the United States You and Sports Academy agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Los Angeles, California or any other location we agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Sports Academy agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Los Angeles, CA . Both you and Sports Academy consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
