Policies

Updated: December 28, 2017

YoungWonks may modify these policies at any time and require parent(s)/guardian(s) to acknowledge and agree to such changes; such changes will be binding on you and your Student(s) on a going forward basis. Continued participation by your Student(s) following notice of changes by YoungWonks shall be deemed acceptance of those changes.

“You” and “your” refers to the parent(s)/guardian(s) who signed the Agreement, “Student(s)” refers to the student or student enrolled by you, and “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to YongWonks, a division of Wonksknow LLC.

These Policies apply whether your Student is participating in online or in person classes, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Name/Likeness Permission. With respect to in person classes, and not online classes, you agree that YoungWonks has the right to record and use your Student(s)’s image or likeness, and voice in but not limited to photographs, videos, press releases, radio spots, websites, brochures or other marketing and promotional media and security audio-video surveillance without financial compensation for an unlimited time. Please contact us if you have questions or would like to revoke your consent for future marketing/promotional uses (e.g., for materials that have no yet been produced). We will only use your Student’s name in marketing/promotional purposes after obtaining additional consent from you.

Trial Classes. You are required to attend any free trial class (whether in person or online) with your Student. We reserve the right to prohibit your Student from participating in any free trial class if you are not present.

Sign-In and Sign-Out. Keep in mind that for in person classes we do not have a receptionist in our office and there is no one to watch your Student(s) in the reception area. Reception area is only for parents/guardians and NOT for Student(s) to wait. Please make sure that you check-in your Student(s) on the kiosk. The kiosk is for parents/guardians to sign. Your Student(s) should be standing next to you when you are signing them in. Please make sure that your Student(s) walk directly into the classroom after they are signed in.

Please make sure that parents/guardians are waiting in the reception for their Student(s) at class dismissal time promptly. Parents/Guardians can also come inside the classroom to pick their Student(s). At the end of a class, YoungWonks’ teachers have to attend to the next class and hence there is no one supervising your Student(s) after class time. When the class is done, please sign-out your Student(s) on the kiosk. Again, parent/guardian must sign out with this Student(s) standing next to him/her. Under no circumstances should a parent/guardian drop Student(s) outside the facility and ask them to go in by themselves, or ask the Student(s) to come out while parent/guardian is still waiting in the car.

You understand that Student(s) must be signed in and out of their classroom each day with complete signature. You understand that you must sign your Student(s) in and out for each class.

You may be charged a penalty of $2 per minute in the event your Student(s) is not signed out within 5 minutes of the scheduled class end time.

Conduct. YoungWonks reserves a right to dismiss any Student(s) for unsatisfactory conduct at our teaching facility or in our online classes. YoungWonks retains the right to terminate enrollment if the Student(s) or you do not comply with policies, rules or regulations of YoungWonks. YoungWonks may also terminate enrollment if Student(s) or you fail to cooperate with instructors and administration.

Assumption of Risk and Indemnification. As further described in the Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree on your and the Student(s) behalf to (i) assume risk and financial responsibility of participation in our services and (ii) indemnify and hold Wonksknow LLC harmless and release Wonksknow LLC from any and all liability for any injury which may be suffered by Student(s) arising out of or in any way connected with participation in our classes and the use of our facilities and equipment.

You further agree that you, and anyone asserting a claim through you, will not be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding against Protected Entities. We and you agree that the arbitrator of any dispute between us may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claim (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action).

Any claim that all or part of the class action waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

California Law and Arbitration Agreement

All parties to these terms and conditions waive their respective rights to a trial by jury. The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof) or the Site shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (www.adr.org). The exceptions to the exclusivity of arbitration are (1) that you have the right to bring an individual claim against Company in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any claim that all or part of the class action waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator, as stated above. The laws of the State of California will govern this Agreement, as well as any claim that might arise between you and us, without regard to any conflict of law provisions.

Regarding claims:

(a) you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and Wonksknow LLC or its affiliates (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. For details on the arbitration process, see our Arbitration Procedures.

(b) Either you or Company may initiate arbitration proceedings. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration. Which particular rules apply in AAA arbitration will depend on how much money is at issue. For less than $75,000, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes/Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

(c) Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Company (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in California. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes. This Agreement, and any dispute between you and Wonksknow LLC, shall be governed by the laws of the state California without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
