7. Services description

7.1 General description
The Services notably enable the User to:
> Publish 3D files on the Website (hereunder: “Files”), in any format accepted by Sketchfab. The list of accepted formats can be found on the Website.
> Publish these Files on third-party websites, via the embedding on these websites of the Viewer made available by Sketchfab (hereunder: “Sketchfab Viewer”)
Sketchfab reserves the right to offer any other service they consider useful, under terms only Sketchfab can decide. Services are offered by Sketchfab in forms and with functionalities and technical means that Sketchfab considers most appropriate for those Services. They are offered in a free version (hereunder: “Free Services”) and in a charged version (hereunder: “Charged Services”) under the terms hereunder described. Free Services should strictly be for a non-professional and non-commercial use only. Any use of the Services for profit or professional ends requires the subscription to Charged Services.

7.2 Description of Free Services
In Free Services, the User can publish an unlimited number of Files for a maximum capacity of 50 Mo per file. The User can amend or suppress a File at any time, through his or her Dashboard. Files published as part as Free Services are visible on the Website public area, and accessible to all Internet users. All Internet users can share these Files and embed the matching Sketchfab Viewer on any third-party Website, which the User explicitly accepts.

7.3 Description of Charged Services
Charged Services notably enable the User, as described on the Website:
> To dispose of a personal standalone interface separated from the main Sketchfab public platform.
> To dispose of a bigger file size capacity than the one offered in Free Services.
> To activate the Privacy feature to Files. Files for which the User activates the Privacy feature are not visible on the public area of the Website and do not appear in search engines.

Services are provided by Sketchfab on an “as is” basis with no express or implicit guarantee of any sort. Sketchfab cannot and does not guarantee, represent or warrant to Users (i) that the Services, which are the subject of regular efforts to improve their performance and progress, will be totally free of errors, defects and faults, (ii) that the Services, being standard and in no way proposed solely to a given User according to his or her own personal constraints, will specifically meet his or her needs and expectations.

The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 2 et seq., and the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflicts of laws. Notwithstanding any rules of the AAA to the contrary, any claims shall be adjudicated on an individual basis only, and ALL USERS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A PROPOSED CLASS, ON AN AGGREGATED OR MASS BASIS, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR TO CONSOLIDATE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES THERETO. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to these terms and conditions, unless the Arbitrator shall determine otherwise, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a User may at his or her option file an individual claim in any small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its subject matter jurisdiction if such court has personal jurisdiction. Sketchfab does not hereby waive any defense that such jurisdiction may be lacking in the User’s jurisdiction. Without derogation of the parties’ obligation to arbitrate as set forth herein, for any claims other than those in small claims court, jurisdiction for any court proceedings arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions, the Website or the Services shall be vested exclusively in, and venue shall be laid in, the state or federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, except that, following confirmation of an arbitration award in a state or federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, a judgment arising therefrom may be executed in any court of competent jurisdiction.
