10. DISPUTES
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND IMPACTS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND CREATIVEDROP, INC. MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE DETERMINED.

10.1     Arbitration
You and Creativedrop, Inc. agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to this or previous versions of these General Terms and Conditions, your use of the Website, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Us or through the Website will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and the case proceeds as an individual (non-class, non-representative) case.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Creativedrop, Inc.., Attn: Nadim Yahchouchi, 19621 Babington St., Canyon Country, CA 91351. 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

The arbitration hearing will be held in the Los Angeles County, California, United States. You or Creativedrop, Inc. may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Creativedrop, Inc. subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing.

The arbitrator will decide all claims in accordance with applicable law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving other Creativedrop, Inc. customers but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Creativedrop, Inc. customer to the extent required by applicable law. 

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

The seat of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California. The applicable law in such arbitration shall be that of California.

The language of the arbitration shall be English.

10.2     Prohibition of Class, Representative, or Consolidated Actions
You and Creativedrop, Inc. agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action.  

Unless both you and Creativedrop, Inc. agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join more than one party’s claims and may not adjudicate or determine any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party bringing the claim, if such relief is warranted by the facts and law.  Any relief awarded by the arbitrator will not affect other Creativedrop, Inc. customers.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration both you and CreativeDrop, Inc. each waive any right to a jury trial. You and Creativedrop, Inc. also both agree that you or Creativedrop, Inc. may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

10.3     Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Creativedrop, Inc., its officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Website or Products; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; (iv) any claim that any of your Content or Submissions caused damage to a third party; or (v) any conduct, activity or action that is unlawful or illegal under any state, federal or common law, or is violative of the rights of any individual or entity, engaged in, caused by, or facilitated in any way through the use of the Website or Services.
