This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law. In any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither of Purchaser or Sponsor will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that Purchaser and Sponsor would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Purchaser WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties. Arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the applicable AAA rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated except to the extent modified by these rules.

The arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas. In any claim by Purchaser, the arbitrator shall be authorized to award a monetary amount no greater than the actual amount of the prize to which Purchaser is entitled, if any, pursuant to these rules or applicable law, and no other award. The arbitrator’s authority is limited to Purchaser and Sponsor alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The parties agree that this arbitration provision extends to any other parties involved in any Arbitration Claims, including, but not limited to, the Released Parties. This arbitration provision shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict. Sponsor will be responsible for paying all arbitration fees other than the amount of filing fees Purchaser would have incurred in state or federal court in Texas, whichever is less. Sponsor may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to any particular matter, then this entire arbitration provision shall be void with respect to such matter. If any portion of this arbitration provision other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision. Prior to initiating an arbitration proceeding under this arbitration provision, Purchaser shall give Sponsor written notice of the Arbitration Claim (a “Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than thirty (30) days, to resolve the Arbitration Claim. Any Claim Notice to Sponsor shall be sent by mail to Noggin Educational Foundation, 1106 N. Highway 360, Ste 209, Grand Prairie, TX 75050. Any Claim Notice must (a) identify Purchaser by name, address, email address, and telephone number; (b) explain the nature of the Arbitration Claim and the relief demanded; and (c) be submitted only on behalf of Purchaser, and not on behalf of any other party. Purchaser must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Arbitration Claim that Sponsor reasonably requests and must give Sponsor a reasonable opportunity to respond to the demand for relief. The provisions of this section, MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER shall not apply to cla ims by Sponsor. admin@nogginfoundation.org

Noggin Educational Foundation (NEF) is the non-profit arm of Noggin Educational Coaching. Doneda Bailey serves as Executive Director.  A successful background About Us 2022 Annual Report 2023 Annual Report "When my husband David started teaching 14 years ago he didn’t realize the obstacles he would encounter in the classroom. His first teaching assignment was in a Title I school where he was given one ream of paper to last for the entire semester teaching 125 students. The lack of resources combined with students who were 2-3 grade levels behind left an impression on both of us. His next teaching assignment was in stark contrast. This school was in an affluent area where he had unlimited resources and students excelled. As I heard story after story about his students, a desire to meet the needs of students like the ones he first encountered grew in me. I knew I could and should do something about it." Doneda Bailey, Founder and CEO Doneda Bailey is Founder and CEO of Noggin Educational Foundation. After receiving a BA in Radio-Television from the University of Houston, Doneda began her career in account management at a Dallas marketing agency. She eventually ventured out on her own to develop a commercial video production company. After 12 years in marketing, she co-founded Noggin Educational Coaching with her husband, David Bailey, providing out-of-school educational services to students. Inspired by the great need she saw for students from low-income families to receive similar services, she founded Noggin Educational Foundation. The Baileys and their three children live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Together, they stand on the belief that the effects of poverty can be combatted through educational opportunity.
