Through their103Accounts, users can create multiple projects ("<b>Project</b>"),104each of which acts as a virtual computer with a file system with105multiple directories, inside of which a user can create and edit106any number of files of any type (such as Latex documents,107Jupyter notebooks, and many others) as well as write, compile,108and run software code in various programming languages (such109files and code collectively, "<b>Files</b>"). You’ll be able to110share your Files with other users of the Services, as well as111enable them to contribute to and build upon them and share them112as well. When you create Files, you can, if you choose, specify113the terms and conditions that govern other users’ use of your114Files (e.g. a specific software or creative commons license) ("115<b>File License</b>"). Similarly, if you download, access or use116another user’s Files through the Services, you agree that you117will use such Files strictly in accordance with the File License118terms associated with that File (if any), as indicated through119the Services. If you don’t agree with the terms of a File120License, then you may not use the applicable Files.{" "}121</p>122<h2>Collaborators</h2>123<p>124You can elect to share your Files (which comprise User Content125(defined below)) with one or more Account holders of your126choosing (each, a "<b>Collaborator</b>", and collectively, a "127<b>Collaborator Team</b>"). By doing so, you are authorizing128each Account holder member of such Collaborator Team to use such129Files in accordance with the applicable File License you’ve130specified for such Files through the Services. If you haven’t131specified an applicable File License, then you authorize SMI to132grant each Account holder member of such Collaborator Team a133non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, sublicenseable (to134other Collaborators) license to copy, modify, create derivative135works based upon, and publicly display, your Files. Each136Collaborator can make your Files public, by Posting them (as137described below). Additionally, each Collaborator can elect to138share your Files with other Account holders. Such additional139Account holders will become part of the Collaborator Team, and140will have the same rights to access and use your Files as those141granted to Collaborators in this paragraph.{" "}142</p>143<h2>Posting</h2>144<p>145You may also make your Files available to a broader audience by146posting them through our Services (hereinafter, "<b>Posting</b>147") to the general public. Keep in mind that, by Posting such148Files, you are (i) authorizing all Account holders and149non-Account holder users of the Services to access and use such150Files in accordance with the applicable File License you’ve151specified for such Files through the Services, or if no File152License is applicable; (ii) authorizing SMI to grant (a) Account153holders a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable license to154view, copy, and publicly display, your Files; and (b)155non-Account holder users of the Service a non-exclusive,156non-transferable license to view such Files.{" "}157<span className="uppercase">158Once you POST TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, you can LATER un-POST,159but the licenses granted will remain in effect.

The250fees for Pay-As-You-Go Services are subject to change without251any advance notice at any time by posting the changes to the252Site or the Service itself.

The Federal Arbitration632Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this633Section.{" "}634</p>635<h2>Arbitration Process</h2>636<p>637A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the638other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified639in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for640Arbitration at{" "}641<A href="http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820">642{" "}643http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820644</A>{" "}645and a separate form for California residents at{" "}646<A href="http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822">647{" "}648http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822649</A>650) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney651licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties652from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable653to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of654the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the655arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.{" "}656</p>657<h2>Arbitration Location and Procedure</h2>658<p>659Unless you and SMI otherwise agree, the arbitration will be660conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not661exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on662the basis of the documents that you and SMI submit to the663arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator664determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds665$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA666Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the667discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the668parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the669arbitration.{" "}670</p>671<h2>Arbitrator’s Decision</h2>672<p>673The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame674specified in the AAA Rules.

If684you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of685attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under686applicable law. SMI will not seek, and hereby waives all rights687it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and688expenses if it prevails in arbitration.{" "}689</p>690<h2>Fees</h2>691<p>692Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and693arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.694However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, SMI695will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either696the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand697for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper698purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule699of Civil Procedure 11(b)).{" "}700</p>701<h2>Changes</h2>702<p>703Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section704above, if SMI changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after705the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any706subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such707change by sending us written notice (including by email to708www.client.com) within 30 days of the date such change became709effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in710the date of SMI’s email to you notifying you of such change.
