You and sQuidd.io agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Site or Applications (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

Further, unless both you and sQuidd.io otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.

If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and sQuidd.io submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
