Governing Law
These Terms of Service will be governed, interpreted, and e

Dispute Resolution
In the event that there is disagreement related to the i
mplementation of the terms of this
Agreement, all parties hereby agree to submit such differences to binding arbitrati
on by a mutually
agreeable arbitrator after seeking mediation. Therefore, they agree that an
y claim or dispute
between them or against the other or any agent of the other relat
ed to or arising out of this
contract, and all disputes about the validity of this arbitration clause, shall be r
esolved first by
seeking a mutually agreeable mediator to help them resolve the dispute, but
if they cannot agree
or mediation fails, then by binding arbitration by a mutually agreeable
arbitrator, but if they
cannot agree on the mutually agreeable arbitrator, then by
a panel of three arbitrators. This panel
will consist of one arbitrator selected by each party, and these two arbitrators will select
a third,
impartial arbitrator. The two arbitrators’ selection of the third ar
bitrator will be final and
conclusive upon the parties. If any party fails to select an arbitrator within thirty (
30) days of notice
from the other of a dispute being submitted to arbitration, then that
arbitrator will be appointed
in accordance with the then current rules of The Institute for Christian Conciliat
ion. It is expected
that the parties shall each select a spiritually mature person as an arbit
rator and conduct the
arbitration under biblical principles and the then-cur
rent rules of The Institute for Christian
Conciliation.
Changes
CCE reserves the right to amend or replace these Terms of Service at any time at its sole discreti
on.
If a modification is significant, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice before any new
terms take effect.
By continuing to access or use the Service after any modifications become effective, you agree to
be bound by the updated terms. If you do not agree to the r
evised terms, in whole or in part,
please discontinue using the website and the Service.
