      2. Lowe’s and You each recognize and agree that good faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often result in prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcomes.  Therefore, You and Lowe’s each agree that, before either of us may commence an arbitration or assert a claim in small claims court, You and Lowe’s will engage in the following informal dispute resolution process:  
        1. You must first present any claim or dispute to Lowe’s by contacting the customer care center to allow Lowe’s the opportunity to resolve any dispute.  To initiate informal dispute resolution, You must provide Lowe’s your full name and contact information; a description of your claim; information about the specific purchase, or matter at issue; your counsel’s name and contact information, if applicable; and a description of the relief sought.  
        2. You and Lowe’s will personally meet and confer, via teleconference or videoconference, in a good faith effort to informally resolve any claim covered by this provision.  If either You or Lowe’s is represented by counsel, that counsel may, but is not required to, participate in the informal dispute resolution conference.  
        3. Either party may request arbitration or a proceeding in small claims court, as applicable, if your dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by us.  
        4. Any statute of limitations will be tolled while You and Lowe’s engage in the informal dispute resolution process described in this section.
        5. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIMS FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES AND ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE CLAIMS ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, WHICH RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE SITE AND/OR 3D PRODUCT CATALOG OR THESE LICENSE TERMS. 
        6. LOWE’S AND YOU UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THESE LICENSE TERMS.  IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, LOWE’S AND YOU AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THESE LICENSE TERMS YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AND RESOLVED IN COURT BY A JURY.  YOU AGREE TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIMS FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES AND ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE CLAIMS ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, WHICH RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE SITE AND/OR THE 3D PRODUCT CATALOG OR THESE LICENSE TERMS. 
        7. LOWE’S AND YOU UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THE SITE, THE 3D PRODUCT CATALOG AND/OR THESE LICENSE TERMS.  IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, LOWE’S AND YOU AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THESE LICENSE TERMS YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AND RESOLVED IN COURT BY A JURY.  
      3. Arbitration:  Please read this section carefully because it affects rights that you might otherwise have.  It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court proceedings. 
        1. Arbitration is different than court.  There is no judge or jury, but the arbitrator can award damages.  Arbitration is final, binding and subject to only limited review by a court.  By using the Site and/or 3D Product Catalog, you agree to give up your right to a trial in court except for certain small claims as described below. 
        2. You agree that this arbitration section shall survive termination of these License Terms.  This section shall be broadly interpreted to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Site and/or the 3D Product Catalog.  Any dispute or claim made by you against Lowe’s or against any of Lowe’s subsidiary, parent or affiliated companies arising out of or related to your use of the Site, and/or the 3D Product Catalog whether based on contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either party may elect to have such claims heard in small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such court. 
        3. You must first present any claim or dispute to Lowe’s by contacting the customer care center to allow Lowe’s the opportunity to resolve any dispute, as outlined more fully above.  Either party may request arbitration or a proceeding in small claims court, as applicable, if your dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by us.  The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted with the rules of a Nationwide Arbitration Organization as modified by these License Terms, and there will be NO JURY TRIAL.  Any arbitration demand must be signed by the claimant and must include a description of the claim; information about the specific purchase, transaction or matter at issue; and a description of relief sought.  
        4. You and Lowe’s agree that these License Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the US Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law.  Any such arbitration shall be brought and held in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will be conducted in the English language.  An arbitrator may not (i) award relief in excess of or contrary to what these License Terms provides; (ii) order consolidation or arbitration on a class-wide or representative basis; or (iii) award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that (a) the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute, and (b) in the event the claim brought is frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, or claimant continues to prosecute a claim after the claim becomes frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, claimant will be required to reimburse respondent for its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in the investigation, defense and/or settlement of such claims, and all other amounts allowed by law.  In any arbitration applying those rules applicable to large and/or complex cases, the arbitrators may also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the selected arbitrator’s rules. 
        5. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Lowe’s may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award.  The decisions of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties involved, and any judgment or decision on any arbitration may be entered in, and specifically enforced in, any court having proper jurisdiction. 
        6. If any portion of this section is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect. 
        7. Claimant will be required to pay any applicable filing fees.  All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and Lowe’s.  Unless an applicable statute expressly permits awarding attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing.   However, as noted above, in the event the claim brought is frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, or claimant continues to prosecute a claim after the claim becomes frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, claimant will be required to reimburse respondent for its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in the investigation, defense and/or settlement of such claims, and all other amounts allowed by law.  
    7. Severability.  If any clause within this section (other than the class action waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of this section will be given full force and effect.  If the class action waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the entire section will be unenforceable, and the dispute will be decided by a court and you and we each agree to waive in that instance, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
    8. Continuation.  This section survives any termination of these License Terms or the provision of the Site and/or 3D Product Catalog to you.
    9. General Legal.  These License Terms inure to the benefit of the parties, including any of our successors in interest.  These License Terms constitute the entire License Terms between you and us and supersede any prior License Terms between you and us on the subject matter, except as provided herein.  These License Terms, and any rights or Licenses granted hereunder, may not be assigned or delegated by you.  These License Terms may only be modified in a writing signed by our authorized representative.  Under no circumstances shall we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond our reasonable control.  Should we fail to insist that you perform any obligations under these License Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, it will not mean that we have waived such rights and will not mean that you do not have to comply with your obligations.  If we do waive a failure or breach by you, we will only do so in writing and that will not mean that we automatically waive any future failure of breach by you. You agree that, except as otherwise set forth here, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these License Terms.  No agency, partnership, joint-venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these License Terms.  You agree that these License Terms made by and between you and us in electronic form are as legally binding as if made in physical written form.  The section titles in these License Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.  Any provision of these License Terms that by its nature is reasonably intended to survive beyond termination of these License Terms shall survive.  If any clause within these License Terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of this section will be given full force and effect.

Effective as of: June, 2022
