Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A.

Arbitration Agreement

You and SK TOOLS USA, LLC agree that any dispute or claim relating to your use of this Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and (ii) SK TOOLS USA, LLC may bring actions in court to enforce intellectual property rights. The United States Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim, to:

SK Tools USA, LLC
2323 REACH ROAD.
WILLIAMSPORT, PA 17701 USA
Attn: General Counsel / Arbitration Notice

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. SK TOOLS USA, LLC will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. SK TOOLS USA, LLC will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

YOU AND SK TOOLS USA, LLC EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND SK EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
