19. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

19.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you agree to first contact us at scrivvyai@fastmail.fm and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may proceed as set forth below.

19.2 Binding Arbitration

ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies.

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Unless the arbitrator determines otherwise, each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs. We will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for claims of $10,000 or less, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

19.3 Class Action Waiver

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS SECTION MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

19.4 Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND SCRIVVY LLC HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this section, except as specified above.

19.5 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to scrivvyai@fastmail.fm within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, neither party is prevented from participating in a class action.

19.6 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights. Additionally, disputes that qualify for small claims court may be brought in small claims court.

19.7 Filing Deadline

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the event giving rise to the claim. Otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

20. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, property, or privacy right; (e) your use of Generated Content; (f) any claim that your User Content caused damage to a third party. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on this page with a revised "Last updated" date and, where feasible, by email.

24. Electronic Communications

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Waiver: No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by us. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
