CHOICE OF LAW, MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND VENUE
1. Governing Law / Jurisdiction
  1. The Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.
  2. Further, you and Sherloq agree to the jurisdiction of the Western Division of the District of Massachusetts if there is Federal jurisdiction or the Trial Court of Massachusetts in and for Hampden County, Massachusetts if there is no Federal jurisdiction, to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with the Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims relating to or arising in connection with them) and is not subject to mandatory arbitration.
2. Arbitration Agreement
  This Arbitration Agreement applies only to users in the United States.
  1. You and Sherloq agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Sherloq arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Sherloq as a user of the Sherloq Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and Sherloq further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreements.
  2. Exceptions - Notwithstanding the clause above, you and Sherloq both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, or at any time bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator.
  3. No Class Or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver - YOU AND SHERLOQ AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Sherloq agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
  4. Arbitration rules
    1. Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and Sherloq will take place under the Expedited Case Provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in force (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement with all matters conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or, upon agreement of both of us, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing. You and Sherloq agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). Any arbitration hearings otherwise agreed to or ordered will take place in Springfield, Massachusetts.
    2. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
  5. Notice; Process - A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail or text message ("Notice"). Sherloq's address for Notice is: Sherloq, Inc, 3 Ferry Street, Studio 3W, Easthampton, MA 01027. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Sherloq may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Sherloq shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator's decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.
  6. Enforceability - If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, we both agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described above shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to the Agreements.
