14.          Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents.  If there is a dispute, our user support team is happy to try to resolve the issue.  If that does not work and you live in the United States or Canada, your options are to go to small claims court or bring a claim in binding arbitration; you may not bring that claim in another court or participate in a non-individual class action claim against ProjectMark.  This Dispute Resolution section applies only if you live in the United States or Canada. If you live outside the United States of Canada, Dispute Resolution for non-US and non-Canadian Residents of these Terms shall apply to you. 

a.             Small Claims.  Either of us can bring a claim in small claims court in (a) San Francisco, California,(b) the county where you live, or (c) another place we both agree on, as long as it qualifies to be brought in that court.
 
b.             Arbitration.  If any dispute cannot be resolved amicably and informally and a small claims action is not initiated, ProjectMark and you agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms (or our other legal terms) through final and binding arbitration, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory. If one of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated and the other party refuses to arbitrate it, the other party can ask a court to force us both to go to arbitration (compel arbitration). Either of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing. With respect to any arbitration proceeding the following process shall be followed:                                  

i.                 Any disputes involving a claim or claims of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, in the aggregate must be resolved through binding,non-appearance-based arbitration (i.e., arbitration conducted online, through written filings, and/or via teleconference) (each a “Sub 10K Arbitration”).                                 

ii.                 AnySub 10K Arbitration shall be conducted through the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules,Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes.                                

iii.                 The following rules will apply to any Sub 10K Arbitration: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (b) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise); and (c) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.                                

iv.                 Disputes that involve a claim (or claims) of more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate must be resolved per the AAA’s rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.                                

v.                 Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator in any arbitration proceeding may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding. 

‍c.             No Class Actions.  ProjectMark and you each agree that each of us can only bring claims against the other on an individual basis. This means:(a) neither of us can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator can’t combine multiple people’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact that user, not other users, and can’t be used to decide other users’ disputes. If a court decides that this “No class actions” clause isn’t enforceable or valid, then this entire Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section will be null and void, but the rest of the Terms will still apply and the Dispute Resolution for non-US and non-Canadian Residents of these Terms shall apply instead to you with respect to dispute resolution as if you were not a resident of the United States or Canada. 

d.             Changes to this Section.  Notwithstanding the Right to Modify Terms section of these Terms, if ProjectMark changes this Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section after the date you last indicated acceptance to theseTerms, you may reject any such change by providing ProjectMark written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to: ProjectMark, Inc. Attn: Legal, 235 Westlake Center #397, Daly City, CA 94105, or by email from the email address associated with your Account to: legal@projectmark.com, within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the "last updated on" language above. To be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and ProjectMark in accordance with the provisions of this Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section as of the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms.   

‍15.          Dispute Resolution for non-US and non-Canadian Residents.  If there is a dispute, our user support team is happy to try to resolve the issue.  If that does not work and you live outside of the United States or Canada, you and ProjectMark that the federal and state courts within the County of San Francisco in the State of California shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of these Terms. Each party hereto expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, such courts.  

16.          Right to Modify Terms.
