8. Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
At Workshop’ or your election, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to the Terms of Workshop or the Workshop that are not resolved by mutual agreement may be resolved by individual (not group) binding arbitration to be conducted before Richie Walls Entertainment (“RWE”), or its successor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in Nashville, Tennessee before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by RWE, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by RWE unless specifically modified in the Terms of Service. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in the Terms of Workshop and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under the Terms of Service, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the introductory section above, if MasterClass changes this ‘Arbitration’ section after the date you first accepted these Terms of Workshop(or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Date of Last Revision” date above or in the date of MasterClass’ email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Workshop in accordance with the provisions of this section as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Workshop(or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE ABOVE DISPUTE PROCEDURES SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND MASTERCLASS REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF THE Workshop(INCLUDING THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS) AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO LEAD OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS, SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION.
9. Termination
You agree that Workshop, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Workshop and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Workshop believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service.

You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software.
