will invoice Fees directly to your account. Fees are due without demand on or before the date
specified in the University’s invoices. You authorize the University to pay any new charges or past-
due balances by deducting from the positive balance and/or credits on your Account. If there is an
insufficient balance and/or credit on your Account to cover the Fees, you must on or before the due
date either (a.) make a full payment of the entire amount that is due, or (b.) enter into an approved
payment plan with the Bursar.
4.1.2 Right to Rescind. If the actual charges vary by more than five (5%) percent over the estimate, then
you may rescind your housing reservation by delivering written notice to that effect within one (1)
week after the actual charges are posted to your Account.
4.1.3 Financial Liability. You are financially responsible for the entire obligation unless released.

Academic Year in extraordinary circumstances. You will be notified in writing at least thirty (30)
days in advance of a proposed increase.
4.2.1 Objections. You may object to the increase by delivering written notice to the University within
seven (7) days of delivery of the notice, upon which the University must promptly elect to either
(a.) terminate your License and/or meal plan or (b.) continue your License and meal plan without
an increase in room and board fees. If you do not object to the proposed increase, you will be
deemed to have accepted it.
4.3 Unpaid Balances. If any Fees are not timely paid, then unless you have entered into a separate
written payment plan approved by the University, the University may assess a late fee.
4.3.1 Financial Hold. If your Account remains past-due for more than three (3) business days, the
University may place a “hold” on your Account, transcript, and degree; disenroll you from classes;
terminate your License; and commence collections.

to your account until they are actually received by the University (and cleared, in the case of
payments other than cash, cashier’s checks, credit cards, and wire transfers). The University shall
have no liability for payments not received, or not received in a timely manner. The University
reserves the right to assess a three (3%) percent fee for payments submitted by credit card.
4.4.1 Prepayments. The University reserves the right to require a prepayment at the time you apply for
on-campus student housing. Prepayments will be applied against your room fees for the first
semester of occupancy.
4.4.2 Failure to Pay. The University will notify you in writing of any missed payment. You are entitled
to at least seventy-two (72) hours to cure the deficiency. If your missed payment is not rectified, it
shall constitute a material breach of these Terms. The University is not obligated to provide notice
or any opportunity to cure if you fail to perform according to these Terms in any other manner, and
if any such opportunity to cure is extended to you, it is gratuitous and may be withdrawn or
cancelled by the University in its sole and absolute discretion.
4.5 Collections. If you fail to pay on your Account promptly, the University or the Provider may
commence a lawsuit to collect what is owed to it. If either does so, you hereby agree to pay the
past-due amount, plus interest at the statutory rate, plus court costs, litigation expenses, attorney
fees, and collection costs, unless prohibited by law. This section shall not prohibit or prevent the
University or the Provider from pursuing or exercising any and all other legal or equitable rights
available to it under these Terms or applicable law.
5.1 Self-Assessment. Within twenty-four (24) hours after checking-in to your Unit, you must complete
and submit to the University an inventory and damage assessment of your Unit using forms
provided by the University. If you discover any damage or missing furniture or fixtures, you must
notify Housing and Residence Life and annotate the damage on your inventory and damage
assessment form. If you fail to complete and submit the form within the allotted time, the University
may deem that your Unit was in good repair, with all expected furniture and fixtures present and in
good working order, upon your move-in.
5.2 Housing Assignments. Housing assignments are made in the sole and absolute discretion of
Residence Life & Housing. You may notify the University of your preferences, if any, concerning
unit size, style, layout, type, location, occupancy, and roommates (e.g. no roommate, one
roommate, multiple roommates, particular roommates, etc.). The University will attempt to assign
housing that conforms to your preferences, but does not guarantee that your preferences will be
accommodated. It shall not be a breach of the Terms for the University to assign housing that does
not conform to your preferences.
5.2.1 Non-Discrimination. Neither the University nor the Provider discriminates on the basis of any
legally-protected attribute in the assignment of on-campus student housing. Requests for housing
assignments on the basis of legally-protected attributes will not be honored.
5.2.2 Voluntary Reassignment. You may request voluntary reassignment to a different unit with or
without cause, and the University may approve or disapprove of such requests in its sole and
absolute discretion. You agree to comply with any processes and protocols the University may from
time to time adopt regarding requests for voluntary reassignments.
5.2.3 Involuntary Reassignment. The University will not reassign students arbitrarily or unreasonably
after move-in. However, the University reserves the right to make reassignments in its sole and
absolute discretion and with or without cause, including (without limitation) for operational
requirements and/or occupant compatibility. The University will provide reasonable advance notice
of reassignment. Forty-eight (48) hours shall be deemed “reasonable advance notice” absent
extraordinary circumstances. You agree to promptly cooperate with reassignment instructions. If
you are involuntarily assigned to a new unit that is more expensive than the unit to which you were
initially assigned, your room charges will not increase.
5.2.4 Expanded Occupancy. In case of exceptionally high demand for on-campus student housing, or as
operational needs dictate, the University reserves the right to assign you to short-term alternative
housing, which may include (by way of example and not by way of limitation): common areas
repurposed to residential areas, increasing unit maximum occupancy, and/or placement in third-
party / commercial housing (e.g. apartments, hotels).
5.2.5 Dependents. Dependents/families may cohabitate with you in select units only. If you are in an
eligible unit and wish to cohabitate with dependents or family members, you acknowledge that
each such individual must execute a rider accepting these Terms prior to cohabitation. You agree
to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the University from and against all claims of
dependents/family members who fail to execute the appropriate rider.
College Park and University Park: A standard quad apartment is 4 same-sex adults except in the
designated Gender Inclusive Housing locations. A double occupancy quad apartment is 6 same-sex
adults except in the designated Gender Inclusive Housing locations.
The Village: Efficiency and Deluxe Efficiency units may have no more than 1 adult and 1 infant.
One Bedroom units may have no more than 2 adults and 1 infant. Two Bedroom units may have
no more than 4 adults and 1 infant. An infant is defined as any child under the age of 2 years old.
5.3 Housing Policies. Residence Life and Housing has adopted housing policies (the “Rules”) to
supplement these Terms. The Rules are located at https://www.wright.edu/residence-life-and-
housing/policies. You acknowledge and represent to the University that you have read the Rules,
that you understand them, and that you will comply with them. The University retains the right to
amend the Rules at any time in its discretion, and you agree to comply with the amended Rules as
long as they do not conflict with these Terms and you receive notice of the change.
5.3.1 Right of Entry. You authorize the University (or its designee) to enter your Unit to (a.) perform
examinations or inspections of the Unit, its contents, or components of the building; (b.) to perform
maintenance, repairs, and improvements; and (c.) to check on the health, safety, or welfare of any
occupant. The University will give you reasonable advance notice prior to entry (unless an occupant
is present and gives consent at the time of entry). For the purposes of this Section, twenty-four (24)
hours’ notice, either posted on or under the door to the unit, or delivered electronically to any
occupant via any means, shall be deemed “reasonable.” Less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice is
reasonable if the University determines that expedited entry is likely to (i.) prevent or mitigate
damage to property; (ii.) prevent or mitigate a danger to health, safety, or welfare; or (iii.) check on
or care for an occupant the University believe to be dangerous, in danger, or seriously ill/injured.
In the foregoing circumstances, the University may give notice it deems reasonable under the
circumstances. Any occupant’s request for maintenance shall constitute consent for the entry to the
Unit at the earliest convenience of the University or its designee, and without further notice to any
other occupants.
5.4 Personal Property. The University and its student housing operator do not carry liability insurance
with respect to your personal property (or the personal property of your guests in on-campus student
housing), and to the greatest extent permitted by law, each disclaims all liability for theft, loss,
damage, or destruction of such property. You are encouraged to consider purchasing renter’s
insurance.
5.4.1 Abandonment. Personal property left on or about campus after the License’s termination shall be
deemed abandoned and may be disposed of by the University in its sole and absolute discretion
without liability to you. The University is under no obligation to store such property or to attempt
to return it to you, but if the University elects to do so then you agree to reimburse the University’s
costs, which may include storage and transportation fees, shipping charges, and so forth.
5.4.2 Contraband. While on the University’s campuses, you may not possess property that is prohibited
by applicable laws or regulations, University Policies, or the Rules. If the University discovers or
determines that you are in possession of prohibited property on campus, then the University may
confiscate and dispose of the property without compensation or liability to you. By way of
illustration and not by way of limitation, such property may include weapons, ordnance, explosives,
controlled substances (except as lawfully prescribed), drug paraphernalia, and alcohol (unless you
are at least twenty-one (21) years of age).
5.5 Maintenance. The Provider, personally or through its assigns, shall be responsible for maintaining
the walls, floor, ceilings, roofs, windows, stairways, elevators, corridors, and common areas, and
the permanently installed electrical, plumbing, and HVAC facilities, within the Unit and the
building in which it is located. In addition, the Provider will maintain all fixtures and furniture in
the Unit at the time of occupancy and the building in which it is located, including Common Areas.
The Provider shall endeavor to effectuate necessary repairs with reasonable diligence. To the
greatest extent permitted by law, neither the University nor the Provider shall not be liable for
failure to make repairs if it acts with reasonable diligence. You acknowledge that it may be
unreasonably dangerous for occupants to make or attempt their own repairs, and you agree not to
make or attempt repairs (or engage any other person or entity to do so).
5.5.1 Student Responsibility. You agree to maintain the Unit (including any common living areas within
it) in a clean, sanitary, and hygienic condition at all times. You will remove all garbage and waste
from the Unit promptly, and deposit it in receptacles designated by the Provider. You will clean up
all messes that you or your guests make in Common Areas.
5.6 Alterations. Alterations, improvements, and additions are prohibited unless expressly authorized
in writing by the Director of Residence Life and Housing. Whether or not authorized, such changes
must be removed upon the University’s request at the end of the License Term.
5.7 Vacating Unit. You agree to vacate the Unit within twenty-four (24) hours after the end of your
last scheduled final exam each Semester, unless other arrangements are approved in writing by the
University Upon the end of your License’s Period, the Unit and its contents must be in substantially
the same condition as they were when you moved-in (less reasonable wear and tear) and “broom
clean” with all refuse removed.
5.7.1 Damage to Property. If the University or the Provider determines that your acts and omissions (or
those of your guests) contributed to the loss, damage, or destruction (other than reasonable wear
and tear) (“Loss”) of property owned by the University or the Provider, then you will be responsible
for all reasonable costs of remediation. If either the University or the Provider has a reasonable
basis to believe that certain individuals contributed to the Loss, they may apportion liability in its
discretion according to their fault. If neither the University nor the Provider can determine which
individuals contributed to a Loss that occurs in a Common Area, then occupants of a room, suite,
or apartment will share liability for Losses to the room or suite Common Areas, occupants of a
floor or wing will share liability for Losses to floor or wing Common Areas, and occupants of a
building will share liability for Losses to the building Common Areas.
5.7.2 Holding-Over. If you fail to vacate the Unit at your License’s end, the University may deem your
holding-over a renewal of these Terms for the semester that follows the one in which you were to
have vacated, at the then-current room and board charges plus twenty (20%) percent; or
alternatively, the University may deem your holding-over a material breach of these Terms and
pursue any or all available legal or equitable remedies. In either case, you agree to be responsible
for all consequential losses and damages to the University which result from your holding-over,
whether or not the same are known to you or reasonably foreseeable to you. By way of example
only, and not by way of limitation, those damages may include the costs of operating a building
that otherwise may have been closed, costs of relocating occupants who would otherwise have been
assigned to your Unit, lost revenues, and unless prohibited by law, court costs, litigation costs, and
reasonable attorney fees incurred by the University or the Provider in prosecuting a civil action to
recover possession of the Unit.
5.8 Conduct. At all times on campus, you agree to conduct yourself, and to require your guests to
conduct themselves, in a manner that does not unreasonably disturb others’ use and enjoyment of
the University’s facilities. You will neither engage in nor permit your guests to engage in any
activities that generate offensive odors or unreasonable noise or vibrations. You will conform and
require your guests to conform at all times to appropriate standards of personal hygiene while on
and about campus.
5.8.1 Reporting. You will notify the University immediately if you discover any condition on campus
which poses a threat to the health, safety, or wellbeing of others. Notification can be made to your
Resident Assistant or Community Director, or by calling WSU Police Dispatch at (937) 775-2111.
You will notify the University promptly if you determine that your Unit or the building requires
maintenance or service. Notification shall be made as directed at
https://www.wright.edu/residence-life-and-housing/maintenance-requests-and-billing.
5.8.2 Unused Space and Property. If your Unit is not at full occupancy, you agree to keep the unassigned
beds, closets, dressers, desks, and other facilities empty, accessible, and ready for occupancy by
another licensee without notice.
6.1 Generally. The University may suspend and/or terminate your License if:
6.2 Notice of Suspension or Termination. Prior to any suspension or termination of your License,
you are entitled to written notice of the grounds for such suspension or proposed termination (the
“Notice”). The Notice shall specify the particular acts or omissions which warrant suspension or
termination, including, but not limited to, the date(s) of each act or omission. You shall be presumed
to have received a copy of the Notice if such a copy is left in your Unit or transmitted mailed to
your student e-mail address at the University.
6.2.1 Suspensions. A suspension of your License is appropriate as a sanction for serious or repeat
breaches of the Terms (and/or applicable laws and regulations, University policies, the Rules, or
the Code of Student Conduct), or as an interim measure while the University completes the notice,
hearing, and appeals process associated with a proposed termination. During a suspension, you may
(but are not required to) remove your belongings from the Unit (accompanied by a University
official, if the University determines their presence appropriate), but otherwise you may not access,
use, or occupy the Unit or any Common Areas. A suspension is effective immediately upon delivery
of the Notice.
6.3 Hearing on Termination. Prior to any termination of your License, you are entitled to a hearing
on the grounds for such termination (the “Hearing”). The Hearing shall be set no earlier than seven
(7) days after the delivery of the Notice. The Hearing shall be held before the Director of Residence
Life and Housing or someone appointed by them (the “Hearing Officer”). At the Hearing, you shall
offer and produce all information and documents you wish to that might refute the grounds for your
License’s termination.
6.4 Decision on Termination. Prior to any termination of your License, a decision shall be published
and furnished to you within seven (7) days of the Hearing. The Decision shall be created by the
Hearing Officer. The Decision shall state whether your License shall be terminated and the reasons
for the same. If the Hearing Officer determines that a termination is not justified, any suspension
shall be considered lifted immediately. If the Hearing Officer determines that a termination is
justified, then your License will be considered terminated for cause.
6.5 Appeals. Appeals must be in writing and received in the office of the Dean of Students within five
(5) days after the University notifies you of the suspension or termination. Untimely appeals may
be summarily denied. If the Dean finds by a preponderance of the evidence that a suspension or
termination of your License is not warranted under the Terms, applicable laws and regulations,
University policies, the Rules, or the Code, or is otherwise unlawful, they may reverse or vacate
the suspension or termination.
6.5.1 Stay Pending Appeal. Your suspension or termination is considered effective and enforceable
pending appeal unless you request otherwise in writing. The Dean may grant a stay of the
suspension or termination if they determine that granting such relief is not likely to result in further
violations or harm the health and safety of other students. You will receive written notice of the
Dean’s decision, which is final and not appealable.
6.5.2 Alternative Remedies. Appeals that assert other grounds for relief are in the Dean’s sole and
absolute discretion.
6.6 Effect. A suspension or termination of your License pursuant to this Section shall only affect your
right to access, occupy, and use the License. You acknowledge and agree that the University is
under no obligation to offer any refund, credit, proration, or other financial concession if your
License is suspended or terminated for violation of the Terms (and/or applicable laws and
regulations, University policies, the Rules, or the Code of Student Conduct). During the term of a
suspension, or if the University gives notice of a proposed termination, you are ineligible for
cancellation, rescission, and early termination, except as required by law.
6.7 Removal of Property. Upon receipt of a notice of suspension, proposed termination, or termination
of your License, you may contact Residence Life and Housing to coordinate a mutually agreeable
time (during business hours) to collect your belongings from the Unit. Any belongings not removed
from the Unit more than twenty-four (24) hours after a termination becomes final may be deemed
abandoned and may be disposed of in the University’s discretion.
6.8 Termination Without Cause. The University never anticipates terminating a License early
“without cause,” but reserves the right to do so in extraordinary circumstances. The University will
provide no less than thirty (30) days advance written notice of termination “without cause.” Room
and board charges will be prorated through the effective date of termination under this Section.
The University’s decision to terminate without cause is not subject to a hearing or appeal.
6.9 The University’s Failure to Perform. The University’s failure to perform according to these
Terms shall not constitute a breach of these Terms unless you have first notified the University in
writing of any perceived deficiency, and afforded the University a reasonable opportunity to cure
of at least thirty (30) days, absent extraordinary circumstances.
7.2 Risk of Loss. The University works hard to prevent and mitigate theft, criminal activity, and
personal injury on its campuses, but there is a risk of those incidents present on all college and
university campuses. Those risks can be acute in community living environments, such as college
and university housing. By applying for and occupying student housing, you acknowledge that you
have been made aware of those risks, and choose to accept them. You agree to assume responsibility
for your own personal safety and security, and for the safekeeping of your personal belongings.
Additional information about on-campus safety and security risks can be found in the University’s
annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report, available at: https://www.wright.edu/police/crime-
and-fire-data.
7.2.1 Indemnification. To the greatest extent permitted by law, on behalf of yourself and your successors,
assigns, and personal representatives, you hereby undertake to defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties against any claims. The “Indemnified Parties” include: (a) the
State of Ohio; (b) Wright State University; (c) the Operator; and (d) each such entities’ respective
members, trustees, officers and officials, agents, employees, affiliates, insurers, attorneys, and other
representatives. A “Claim” is any liability, claim, cost, expense, amount paid in settlement or
damages, and investigation/defense cost (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and
defense costs) incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties as a result of any lawsuit or other
proceeding in which the Indemnified Party is made a party or threatened to be made a party and
relates in any way to (a.) losses that proximately resulted or may proximately have resulted from
the ordinary negligence of an Indemnified Party, or (b.) any acts or omissions of any third-party.
7.3 Utility Services. The University and/or the Operator shall provide reasonable quantities of
residential utilities, including heat, ventilation, electricity, garbage removal (from in-building or
exterior trash receptacles), air conditioning, water and sanitary sewer service (in-room or corridor
bathrooms, varies by unit type).
7.3.1 Utility Service Disruptions. The University and/or its student housing operator shall have no
liability for service disruptions, provided that if disruptions result from either’s acts or omissions,
it shall exercise reasonable diligence to promptly restore service.
7.3.2 Non-Utility Services. The University currently provides basic television service and high-speed
data service through its Student Housing Data Network (the “Network”). Your access to and use
of the Network is a benefit and not a right, and contingent upon your acceptance of the University’s
terms of service. If the University has reason to suspect that you are using the Network for illegal
purposes, or in a manner that is inconsistent with any terms of service that the University may from
time to time adopt in its discretion, then the University shall have the right to charge separately for
your Network service, or to limit or terminate your access to the Network, all without prior notice
to you.
7.4 Major Losses. If any casualty renders the Unit and/or a substantial portion of the building in which
it is located unsuitable for occupancy (in the University’s discretion), then the University shall have
the right to elect either: to terminate your License and pro rate your room and board fees through
the effective date of the casualty; or to reassign you to another unit and/or alternative housing.
8.0 HEALTH CONDITIONS.
8.1 Health Insurance. You agree to carry adequate health insurance during the License Term, and to
provide reasonable documentation of current coverage upon the University’s request. Such health
insurance coverage is not provided automatically by the University, but may be elected as part of
course registration.
8.1.1 Vaccinations. The University requires residential students to be inoculated against measles,
poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, rubeola and rubella. You agree to obtain (if you have
not already obtained) all of the required inoculations, and to upload evidence of inoculation that
the University deems sufficient. The University may require international students from countries
with high incidence of tuberculosis to demonstrate that they are not infected before move-in. The
University has contracted with Med+Proctor to verify and store inoculation records electronically.
There is no charge to you for this service. The Med+Proctor portal can be accessed here:
https://secure.medproctor.com/Account/SignIn. You may not move-in until the foregoing steps are
complete. The University may require additional inoculations in the interest of infectious disease
prevention and mitigation.
8.2 Preventive Actions. The University reserves the right to close and/or limit access to, occupancy
in, or use of student housing facilities when it deems those actions reasonably necessary or
advantageous to the prevention or mitigation of COVID-19 or other infectious agents, or when the
same is required or recommended by public health authorities. In such cases, refunds and credits
shall be in the University’s sole and absolute discretion. The University’s policies and procedures
concerning COVID-19 prevention and mitigation are available at https://wright.edu/coronavirus,
and are incorporated into these Terms by reference. The University reserves the right to amend its
COVID-19 prevention and mitigation policies and procedures in its sole and absolute discretion in
order to respond to changing public health or safety conditions. You agree to cooperate promptly
with all such measures.
8.2.1 Highly-Contagious Illnesses. The COVID-19 virus, and many other types of viruses, bacteria, and
infectious agents are present in the environment and potentially on the University’s campuses
notwithstanding efforts to keep those premises clean and sanitary. The University does not
guarantee that its campuses are germ-free. Rather, there is an unavoidable, residual risk of infection
associated with all in-person activities, and you acknowledge that you are knowingly and
voluntarily accepting that risk by choosing to stay in on-campus student housing.
9.1 Compliance. You agree to strictly comply with these Terms. All applicable laws and regulations,
and University policies and procedures (particularly including the University’s Code of Student
Conduct and/or the Rules) are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
9.2 Roommates. The University is required to treat all of its student residents equally, even during
disputes between them. To facilitate the resolution of disagreements you may have with your
roommates or other neighbors on your floor, you agree to participate in good faith in all University
dispute resolution processes in the event of a dispute or disagreement with a roommate or with
another student.
9.3 Restrictions on Use. You may not use the Unit, the building in which the Unit is located, or any
property owned by the University (or its student housing operator) for the purpose of conducting
business or commercial activity.
9.4 Keys. You agree not to duplicate any keys to any on-campus facilities. The University may assess
a charge for replacing lost keys and/or re-keying locks as a result of lost keys. You will notify the
University promptly upon discovery of a lost key.
9.5 Temporary Absence. If you will be absent from the Unit for more than seven (7) days (except for
breaks during which the University is closed), you will notify Residence Life and Housing in
advance if possible, and by the seventh day if others. If you are absent more than seven (7) days
without providing such notification, the University may deem your absence an abandonment of the
Unit.
10.0 MISCELLANEOUS.
10.1 Force Majeure. Except for payment of Fees, neither Party shall be deemed to have defaulted under
these Terms for any failure or delay in performance that proximately results from unforeseeable
events and occurrences that are beyond the Party’s reasonable capacity to control. By way of
example and not by way of limitation, such occurrences may include: acts of God, flood, fire or
explosion, war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes and blockades in effect after the
effective date of this Agreement, national or regional emergency, strikes/labor stoppages and
slowdowns/labor disruptions/industrial disruptions, compliance with any applicable law or
government order, pandemic and other public health emergencies, and other catastrophic events
not reasonably foreseeable at the time these Terms are adopted.
10.1.1 Supply-Chain Issues. If all or a portion of the on-campus student housing (and/or dining service)
system and/or the supply chain of either becomes unavailable or commercially impracticable, on
account of force majeure, the University may in its discretion terminate its agreement without prior
notice, require some or all licensees to vacate on-campus student housing for some or all of the
current contract term, relocate some or all residents to replacement housing, or take other
reasonable actions that the University deems appropriate (including, by way of example and not by
way of limitation, issuing per diem refunds of meal plans and/or student housing room and board
fees).
10.2 Administration. The University may from time to time adopt and implement policies, procedures,
and forms for the efficient administration of its on-campus student housing program. You agree to
familiarize yourself with those measures, and to comply with them in matters pertinent to program
administration. You may obtain information about the appropriate protocols and forms by
contacting Residence Life and Housing staff or accessing the Residence Life & Housing website
at www.wright.edu/housing.
10.3 Amendment. These Terms shall not be modified orally. The University may amend, rescind, or
supplement these Terms by notifying you in writing of the proposed change. You may object to the
amendment by delivering written notice to the University within seven (7) days of delivery of the
notice, upon which the University must promptly elect to either terminate your License pursuant to
Section 6 or continue your License without amending the Terms (as between yourself and the
University). If you do not object to the proposed increase, you will be deemed to have accepted it.
10.4 Non-Assignment. You may not assign all or any part of your rights or responsibilities hereunder
without the express prior written consent of the University, which consent the University may
withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
10.5 Class Recovery. You acknowledge and agree that any claims you have or may have against the
University will be litigated and adjudicated exclusively on an individual basis, and you hereby
irrevocably waive your right to participate in, or have your claims against the University
adjudicated through, any class, collective, or other group action.
10.6 Choice of Law. Any dispute regarding the meaning and application of these Terms shall be
resolved under Ohio law. Any such dispute shall be litigated, if at all, exclusively in a state court
of competent jurisdiction within Ohio. You hereby irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in
the Ohio state courts with geographic jurisdiction that includes Greene County, Ohio, and waive
the affirmative defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, and every other
affirmative defense which would have the effect of divesting the aforementioned courts of
jurisdiction to hear and adjudicate such disputes.
10.7 Minors. A parent or legal guardian must countersign and ratify these Terms on your behalf if you
are under the age of eighteen (18) years. Upon reaching the age of eighteen (18), the University
may require you to ratify these Terms as a condition of continuing your License. This Section shall
not apply if you are a legally emancipated minor, but the University may require you to provide a
copy of a court order to that effect. You acknowledge and agree that the goods and services
furnished to you under these Terms are necessaries.
10.8 Non-Waiver. A Party’s waiver of a breach or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach or provision.
10.9 Severability. Any provision in these Terms which is invalid or unenforceable shall not be given
effect, but the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remaining provisions.
10.10 Electronic Records. Your electronic signature on this record shall carry the same legal weight,
effect, and enforceability as a handwritten signature on a paper record. You expressly consent to
the use of electronic signatures, and to the use of electronic records in lieu of paper records, with
respect to this transaction and all subsequent transactions with the University. This Section shall
neither prohibit the use nor impair the validity of tangible records or original signatures in any prior
or subsequent transaction between yourself and the University.
