We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or continuously available. Translation accuracy may vary and should not be relied upon for critical communications.

14. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

15. BINDING ARBITRATION

🚨 MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Agreement to Arbitrate: You and Translate The Teacher agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.

Arbitration Rules: Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be held in San Francisco, California, or another location we mutually agree upon.

Arbitrator Authority: The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy that would be available in court, including monetary damages and equitable relief. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.

Costs: Each party will bear their own costs and attorney's fees, unless the arbitrator awards such costs to the prevailing party. We will pay AAA filing and arbitrator fees for claims under $10,000.

Exception: Either party may seek relief in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights.

16. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

🚨 CLASS ACTION WAIVER

YOU AND TRANSLATE THE TEACHER AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR GROUP PROCEEDING.

This means:

  • You cannot participate in a class action lawsuit against us
  • You cannot seek to represent other users in any legal proceeding
  • Multiple individual claims cannot be consolidated into a single proceeding
  • Claims cannot be brought on behalf of the general public

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the arbitration clause above will not apply to you, and any claims must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in San Francisco, California.

17. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Translate The Teacher regarding the Service. These Terms supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

19. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
