    18. No Employment or Agency Relationship

    No provision of this Agreement, or any part of the relationship between you and Safeguard Equipment, is intended to create nor shall they be deemed or construed to create any relationship between you and Safeguard Equipment other than that of an end user of the Service. 

    19. Governing Law

    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without giving effect to its conflicts of law rules.  Any dispute arising in connection with this agreement or breach thereof shall be resolved in mandatory arbitration as set forth below, located in Spokane County, Washington.  You consent to personal jurisdiction in Washington and waive all defenses to such jurisdiction and venue.

    20. Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, and Arbitration

    General.  This Section applies to each and every Dispute. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under applicable law and shall mean any claim, dispute, action, or other controversy between you and Safeguard Equipment concerning this Agreement, the subject matter of Your agreements with Safeguard Equipment, or any product, service or information Safeguard Equipment makes available to You, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, except for claims, disputes, and controversies relating to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights. In the event of a Dispute, You or Safeguard Equipment must give the other party a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to: Safeguard Equipment, Inc., 4202 W Riverbend Ave, Post Falls, ID 83854. Safeguard Equipment will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address on file with Safeguard equipment. You and Safeguard Equipment will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. Safeguard Equipment may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Notice of Dispute (“Final Settlement Offer”). After sixty (60) days, either you or Safeguard Equipment may commence an arbitration proceeding to resolve the Dispute, as set forth below.  

    Binding Arbitration.  If You and Safeguard Equipment do not resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the Dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S. Code section 1 et seq., and the provisions of this Agreement. The Dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except where appeal is required by applicable law. 

     Class Action Waiver.  To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any proceedings to resolve any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor Safeguard Equipment will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. If this waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then it will not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and will proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. 

     Arbitration Procedure.  Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. An AAA Demand for Arbitration may be found on the AAA website located at: www.adr.org. Any in-person hearing in the arbitration will be held in Spokane County, Washington, USA. Either You or Safeguard Equipment may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. In a Dispute involving Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. You and Safeguard Equipment hereby agree to accord this arbitration agreement the broadest scope permissible under applicable law and that it shall be interpreted in a non-restrictive manner. The arbitrator will determine whether a claim or controversy is a Dispute that is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator may award the same relief to you individually as a court could award. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. The arbitrator may award compensatory damages, but shall NOT be authorized to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress or pain and suffering, punitive damages, or indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator and AAA; provided, however, that the arbitrator may otherwise award you reimbursement of your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including, for example, expert witness fees and travel expenses), and/or the fees and costs of the arbitrator and AAA. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a written award and, if requested by either party, a written statement of decision describing the material factual findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties waive their right to commence any action or judicial proceeding in connection with a Dispute hereunder, except for purposes of: (i) recognition and/or enforcement of the arbitration award or any other decision by the arbitral tribunal; (ii) obliging the other party to participate in the arbitration proceedings; (iii) requesting any type of conservative or interim measure in connection with the Dispute prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal; (iv) requesting the appearance of witnesses and/or experts; and/or (v) requesting that any information and/or documentation discovery be complied with. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, you understand that you are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a Dispute were determined by litigation in court including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this arbitration provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, the right bring a claim as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and the right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence. In the event of any conflict between the applicable arbitration rules and the terms of this arbitration provision, the terms of this arbitration provision will control.  

     Disputes to be Filed Within One Year.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, arbitration of any Dispute must be initiated within one (1) year from the date the cause of action accrued. If a Dispute is not initiated within one (1) year, it will be permanently barred.

    21. Equitable Relief

    You agree that we would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement are not specifically enforced. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy that Safeguard may have at law, and notwithstanding the foregoing agreement to arbitrate Disputes, Safeguard Equipment will be entitled, without bond or other security, or proof of damages, to seek appropriate equitable remedies with respect to Your violation of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    22. Headings

    The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not limit the scope of, or otherwise affect, the interpretation of this Agreement.

    23. Geographic Restrictions

    Safeguard Equipment is based in the United States and the Service is provided for access and use solely by persons located in the United States, and it maintains compliance with United States laws and regulations. If you use the App from outside the United States, you are solely and exclusively responsible for compliance with local laws. 

    24. Entire Agreement

    The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Safeguard Equipment regarding your use of the Service and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written or oral agreements between you and Safeguard Equipment. 

    You may be subject to additional terms and conditions that apply when you use or purchase other Safeguard Equipment’s services, which Safeguard Equipment will provide to you at the time of such use or purchase.
