Add mandatory arbitration

Design Partner Agreement version: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

Replace the second sentence of Section 7.3 with: “The parties will arbitrate any dispute about this Agreement in the state or county that encompasses the Chosen Courts, in English, and agree to finally settle all such disputes according to the Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”). To the extent the JAMS streamlined rules are available, they will apply. The arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. To the extent a claim cannot legally be arbitrated (as determined by an arbitrator), the parties will bring the suit, action, or proceeding that cannot be arbitrated in the Chosen Courts and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts.”

What is a Design Partner agreement?

A design partner is an early user or customer who works closely with a vendor to help develop the early versions of the product. They get early access and a discount or free use in exchange for their feedback and tolerance of bugs and missing features.

A Design Partner Agreement is a contract that specifies the relationship between the vendor and the design partner. It covers what each side can expect from the other and the commitments being made.
