The Site and Services may not be used, downloaded, exported, re-exported, or provided in violation of such laws. LAIRP may restrict access to Services, purchases, registrations, or funding arrangements where necessary to maintain legal compliance. ​

Arbitration and Class or Collective Action Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site or Services may be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a single arbitrator under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless the parties agree otherwise or applicable law requires a different forum. Unless prohibited by law, arbitration will proceed only on an individual basis, and neither party may participate as a class representative or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. This section should be interpreted consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable law. ​

Force Majeure

LAIRP will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, public health emergencies, war, terrorism, civil unrest, power outages, telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, internet disruptions, legal or regulatory restrictions, labor shortages, or other force majeure events. In such cases, LAIRP will make reasonable efforts to restore Services but is not required to provide refunds, credits, or compensation except as expressly required by law or by a written agreement. ​

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Site and supersede prior oral or written agreements on the same subject matter, except where a separate written contract, school agreement, consulting agreement, purchase order, or registration agreement governs a specific Service. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or construed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. ​
