Binding arbitration and class action waiver

1

You and Global Technology Group Limited agree to submit to binding arbitration any and all disputes, claims, or controversies of any kind, whether based on statute, regulation, constitution, common law, equity, or any other legal basis or theory, and whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise out of or relate to our Services, these Terms, and/or any other relationship or dispute between you and us, including without limitation (i) the scope, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms and/or this arbitration provision, and (ii) relationships with third parties who are not parties to these Terms or this arbitration provision to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (each a “ Claim,” and collectively the “ Claims ” ).
2

Any and all Claims shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “ AAA Rules ” ), as amended, in effect at the time arbitration is initiated. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, and are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules, such inconsistency shall be resolved in favour of this provision. If you decide to initiate arbitration, you agree to pay the initiation fee of £200 (or the amount otherwise required by the AAA Rules), and we agree to pay the remaining arbitration initiation fee and any additional deposit required by AAA to initiate your arbitration. We will pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding, including the arbitrator’s fees; however, other fees, such as attorney’s fees and expenses of travel to the arbitration, shall be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules and applicable law. We will pay all costs associated with any arbitration that we commence. A single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules shall decide all Claims.
3

The arbitrator shall be an active member in good standing of the bar for any state in the continental United States and shall be either actively engaged in the practice of law for at least five years or a retired judge. The arbitrator shall honour claims of privilege recognized at law. Unless inconsistent with applicable law, and except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear the expense of its respective attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the federal judicial district of your residence, and you will be given the opportunity to attend the proceeding and be heard. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any country or state that has jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of governmental agencies.
4

Neither you nor Global Technology Group Limited may act as a class representative, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. The Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or Global Technology Group Limited individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. Accordingly, you and we agree that the AAA Supplementary Rules for Class Arbitrations do not apply to our arbitration. This arbitration provision and the procedures applicable to the arbitration contemplated by this provision are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any state law that may be applicable.
5

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or us from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and we also have the right to exercise self-help remedies, such as set-off, or to bring qualifying claims in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. In addition, you and we retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional or ancillary relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary in junctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with any of these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in this provision.
6

A court may sever any portion of this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Section that it finds to be unenforceable, except for the prohibitions on any Claim being handled on a class or representative basis, and the remaining portions of this arbitration provision will remain valid and enforceable. No waiver of any provision of this Section will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms.
7

This binding arbitration and class action waiver section limits certain rights, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, and the right to engage in discovery except as provided in the aaa rules. Other rights that you or Global Technology Group Limited would have in court also may not be available in arbitration.

2.3 Face‑to‑Face & Virtual Training Delivery

Standard Booking Window: To secure preferred training slots, the recommended minimum notice period for scheduling face-to-face or virtual live training is 30 days.
Short‑Notice Bookings: Bookings requested with under 30 days’ notice are classified as short-notice bookings. These requests are subject to a £200 plus VAT short-notice administrative fee. Trainer availability is not guaranteed for short-notice windows; booking confirmation is strictly contingent upon the fee being accepted, an available trainer being formally assigned and a date mutually agreed in writing.
Cancellations:
- By the Client: Cancellations or postponement requests made with 7 or more days' written notice will incur no fee. Cancellations or modifications made with under 7 days' notice will be charged at the full contract rate (100% fee forfeiture).
- By the Provider: In the exceptional event that the Company must cancel a session with under 7 days' notice due to trainer illness or emergency, the session will be rescheduled at the earliest opportunity, and the client will receive a credit reducing the specific session fee by 50%.
Booking Amendments: A administrative fee of £75 plus VAT applies to any client-requested change to dates, times or course types made after a specific trainer has been assigned to the booking.
Additional Learners: Live sessions are capped at the agreed cohort size. Additional learners attending a session will be billed to the client at a rate of £650 plus VAT per additional learner, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Venue Protocols: Clients must not finalise external venue or hotel bookings prior to receiving our formal written trainer assignment confirmation. The Company accepts zero liability for any external venue cancellation fees, catering losses or travel costs arising from premature venue bookings.
