ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and SimpleEstimate agree that you will notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to SimpleEstimate shall be sent to: SimpleEstimate, LLC., Attn: Legal, 1985 Stablegate Dr., Canandaigua, NY 14424.
