Legacy does not represent that it holds any accreditation, approval, or affiliation that has not been granted to it. Current accreditation information is published on the Website.Legacy does not represent that enrollment satisfies any compulsory-education, truancy, or school-attendance requirement in any state, and does not guarantee acceptance of credits, diplomas, or completion by any other institution, athletic association, or employer.

24. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVES JURY TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS.24.1 Governing law and venueThese Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except where a non-waivable law of another state or federal law applies. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida. All proceedings are conducted in English.
24.2 Informal resolution
Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to contact Legacy and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for thirty days after written notice.24.3 Binding arbitration and class action waiverExcept as stated in Section 24.4, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Pinellas County, Florida, with hearings available by videoconference. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. THE PARTIES AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND EACH WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest is arbitrated.24.4 Exceptions and opt-outThis Section does not require arbitration of a small-claims matter brought individually, or a request for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or Website security, or any matter that applicable law prohibits from being arbitrated. To the extent the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act applies, a person alleging a sexual assault or sexual harassment dispute may elect that the arbitration agreement and class action waiver not apply to that dispute. Where a claim of a minor cannot lawfully be compelled to arbitration, that claim is severed and the remainder of this Section continues to apply. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by written notice to the contact in the Contact section within thirty days after first accepting these Terms.24.5 Time to bring a claimTo the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website must be commenced within one year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, except where a non-waivable law provides otherwise.
