  1. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights

a. Applicability.

You and Sketchcop Solutions, Inc. agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services, these Terms or your receipt of any communications from Sketchcop Solutions, Inc. will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, remain in such court and advance solely on an individual basis. “Disputes” or “claims” under this provision shall include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: the Terms, and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the Services, any other goods or services made available through the Services, your relationship with Sketchcop Solutions, Inc., the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your account with Sketchcop Solutions, Inc., payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Sketchcop Solutions, Inc., any communications you receive from Sketchcop Solutions, Inc., any claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws, claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act, and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you are an employee of Sketchcop Solutions, Inc., this Arbitration Agreement will not apply to any claims or disputes arising out of your employment relationship with Sketchcop Solutions, Inc. and any such claims and disputes may be governed by separate agreements.

b. Arbitration Rules and Forum.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by you must be delivered to, Sketchcop Solutions, Inc. 1941 California Avenue, Unit 77458, Corona, CA 92877. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider, and conducted under AAA’s most current version of the Commercial Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/CommercialRules_Web_FINAL_1.pdf. AAA’s rules are also available by calling AAA at 800-778-7879. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.

c. Authority of Arbitrator.

The arbitrator — not a court — shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of these Terms (including this Arbitration Agreement), (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms (including this Arbitration Agreement), including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, and (iii) resolve any disputes or controversies regarding or arising out of the applicability of these Terms and/or any other concurrent agreement, to any particular claim or dispute, consistent with the AAA Commercial Rules. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Sketchcop Solutions, Inc.. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Sketchcop Solutions, Inc.

d. Waiver of Jury Trial.

YOU AND SKETCHCOP SOLUTIONS, INC. HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

e. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE BASIS; ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PARTY CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PARTY. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the federal or state court located in Riverside County, California for adjudication before a judge, not a jury. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

f. Survival of Arbitration Agreement.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with SketchCop® Solutions, Inc.
