This Customer Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between Prodoscore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Prodoscore.com”) and you or the company or other entity you represent acknowledging this Agreement (“Customer”).
- Services

- Fees
- If you are using the paid subscription service (as opposed to the free trial version), you will be billed in advance on an annual recurring basis.
- All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.
- The paid version of the Service will also automatically include a basic level of technical support.
- Limitations on Use of Service and Service Software.
- As used herein, “Software” refers to any software incorporated into the Service.

Customer will back-up all data it adds to the Beta Features and will not rely upon the functionality of the Beta Features for any purpose whatsoever. Except as specifically provided in this Section 3(c), the Beta Features will be considered part of the Service and all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Service will apply to the Beta Features.

- Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.”
(a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement; Rules and Forum. Any legal controversy or legal claim arising out of or relating to the TOS or the Service, excluding legal action taken by Prodoscore to collect fees or recover damages for, or obtain an injunction relating to, Prodoscore’s intellectual property or the Service, will be settled by binding and final arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any controversy or claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis, and will not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by AAA’s rules. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay AAA’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from AAA, we will pay them for you. In addition, we will reimburse all such AAA’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims with an amount in controversy totaling less than $10,000. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction. Either you or Prodoscore may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California necessary to protect the rights or property of you or Prodoscore pending the completion of arbitration.
(b) Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Prodoscore. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and Prodoscore.
(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND PRODOSCORE WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and Prodoscore are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in subsection (a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
(d) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. YOU AND PRODOSCORE AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor Prodoscore is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14.
(e) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with us.
(f) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to us.

This Agreement may not be amended, altered, or changed except by a written agreement signed by the duly authorized representatives of both parties. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision will be construed as nearly as possible to reflect it original intent and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Customer’s rights in this Agreement are personal and are not assignable. Prodoscore may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to third parties.
