Narrative:
While climbing through FL365 to our field altitude of FL400; aircraft began to pitch up un-commanded. The autopilot subsequently disengaged at which time we got a spoiler fault and swps (stall warning and protection system) fault cas message. The captain; PF (pilot flying) took control of the airplane and radios and I as pm (pilot monitoring) consulted the QRH. At this time; we both realized we had yellow X's for our flap and pitch trim indications indicating that we had an fce (flight control electronics) failure. After determining that the aircraft was in a safe condition and some discussion about the type of failure; I consulted maintenance control about our condition; verification of utilizing the proper QRH checklist and our plan to divert to ZZZ due to weather and the availability of a long runway. I then briefed the passengers as to the situation and our intent to divert to ZZZ. We then descended to 10;000 ft and slowed to 160 KIAS and ran the flap fail QRH checklist and discovered that our flaps had failed in the up position. [Landing distance calculations were] completed and speeds were computed for a no flap landing. We elected to [advise ATC] and proceeded to land on runway xx without incident. We were inspected by arff personnel to assure that we had not overheated the brakes. After the all clear from arff personnel; we proceeded to the ramp and deplaned all occupants without further incident.
