Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The arbitration requirement establishes a procedural framework where disputes proceed outside the judicial system through an arbitrator's binding decision. This mechanism affects how disagreements between users and Khan Academy are adjudicated and the forums available for dispute resolution.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users agreeing to these terms accept that disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than class actions or court proceedings, except that either party may pursue injunctive relief in court for intellectual property protection. The terms apply as written upon continued use of the service.
