a) We will not be held liable for any loss of data.

LEGAL DISPUTES
-
- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. You and SecureChat.ai agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, any SecureChat.ai, and/or any aspect of the relationship between us, whether such claims are based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, arose before these Terms or any prior agreement, or arose after the termination of these Terms. The only exceptions to this mandatory arbitration provision are described in the “Exceptions” subsection below. By agreeing to these Terms or using SecureChat.ai, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with us as follows:
Initial Dispute Resolution
-
- Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with SecureChat.ai support department. You can reach our support department at [email protected].
Binding Arbitration
-
- If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve disputes. Specifically, all disputes (including but not limited to any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and/or any aspect of the relationship between us) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms (including the Privacy Policy) including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) Write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco California 94111; and (c) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at 1 2010 Corporate Ridge, Suite 700, McLean, Virginia 22102, U.S.A., The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. ATTN: General Counsel.
Class-Action Waiver
-
- The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND SecureChat.ai AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The parties further agree that the JAMS Rules referenced above shall exclude any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth in this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Costs
-
- To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, SecureChat.ai will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, SecureChat.ai will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including the filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses they invoice. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
Location of Arbitration
-
- If you are a resident of the United States, any arbitration hearings may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing or in another location mutually agreed by the parties.
- For residents outside the United States, any arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Virginia, United States of America, and you and SecureChat.ai agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in McLean County, Virginia in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. If your claim is for $50,000 or less, either party may choose to attend a hearing telephonically, videographically or in person. Hearings may also take place telephonically or videographically as provided for in the applicable JAMS Rules.
Exceptions
● Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section: (a) either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or other claims arising from or relating to the infringement or validity of intellectual property rights (excluding privacy or publicity rights) in any state, federal or international court or administrative agency with jurisdiction over such claims; (b) either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction; and (c) if you are a resident of the European Union and are dissatisfied with the manner in which we have addressed your concerns about our privacy practices, you may address such claims as specified in our Privacy Policy.
30-Day Right to Opt Out

- You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section by sending (from the email address registered to your Account) written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT” and your full legal name. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of SecureChat.ai, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this mandatory arbitration provision. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, SecureChat.ai also will not be bound by them.
Changes to This Section
-
- If you have not opted-out of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section and SecureChat.ai makes any future change to this section (other than a change to our notice address), you may reject any such change within 30 days of the change by sending us written notice (from the email address registered to your Account) to [email protected] with the subject line “OPT OUT OF CHANGES TO ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” and your full legal name. If you opt out of changes to this section, SecureChat.ai also will not be bound by those changes, and the parties agree to arbitrate any dispute in accordance with the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in effect prior to such rejected change. If a court or arbitrator decides that this paragraph is not enforceable or valid, then this paragraph shall be severed from the rest of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using SecureChat.ai
Additional Terms
● The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account, SecureChat.ai or these Terms.
