Instructors and Students are hereinafter referred to as “Users”.

Site Only Provides a Venue

The Site is a communications platform for enabling connections between Users for the fulfillment of Services, but Lark in the Morning is not responsible for the performance of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of any Students, nor of the integrity, responsibility or any other actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users.

Users hereby give consent to Lark in the Morning to conduct background checks as often as required in compliance with federal and state laws and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Each User acknowledges that Lark in the Morning does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control an Instructor’s work or tasks performed in any manner. Lark in the Morning does not set an Instructor's work hours or location of work. Lark in the Morning will not provide any equipment, labor or materials needed for a particular task.

Dispute Resolution

To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage related to the use or provision of the Site and Services, or the Terms of Use (“Dispute”), you and Lark in the Morning agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided Lark in the Morning. Lark in the Morning's address for such notices is Lark in the Morning, 830 Gilman Street, Berkeley, CA 94710.

Any Dispute that cannot be resolved during the informal negotiation period shall be settled by binding arbitration and conducted in accordance with these Terms of Use and the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Arbitration Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, which can be obtained at any AAA office, at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.If there is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision, the terms of the arbitration provision will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent terms would result in a fundamentally unfair arbitration.

This arbitration provision will be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.

Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator chosen by Lark in the Morning and both Lark in the Morning and the User expressly waive entitlement, if any, to have any such controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage heard before a court or a jury. The arbitrator will base the decision on the evidence presented and in accordance with these Terms of Use and governing law, including statutory and judicial authority. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Use and applicable law. The arbitrator will issue a written decision, which will contain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon all parties.

Any such controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage of any other party. However, this representative action waiver may be severed if it would otherwise render the Terms of Use or this arbitration provision unenforceable in any action brought under a private attorneys general law.

The arbitration shall be conducted in California, and judgment of the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Lark in the Morning may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in California necessary to protect its rights pending the completion of arbitration. The User agrees to submit himself, herself, or itself to the personal jurisdiction of the State of California.

Each party will pay the fees of his, her, or its attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. The User will bear only those costs of arbitration that he, she, or it would have borne had the User brought a claim covered by this arbitration provision in court. If you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Lark in the Morning will pay as much of the arbitration fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, disputes may be brought before an administrative agency to the extent applicable law requires access to an agency notwithstanding the existence of this arbitration provision. Nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed to: (i) relieve any party of the duty to exhaust administrative remedies by filing a charge or complaint with an administrative agency and obtaining a right to sue notice, where otherwise required by law, or (ii) prevent either party from cooperating with a federal or state body as required by law. However, you understand that you are not entitled to a double recovery or eligible to receive any monetary benefit from any action brought by an administrative agency except as required by law.
