reflect changing technologies, tastes, behaviors and the way people use the Internet and our

- In order to do this, we may need to update, reset, stop offering and/or supporting a
particular part of the Service, or feature relating to the Service ("Changes to the Service").
These Changes to the Service may affect your past activities on the Service and features that
you use ("Service Elements"). Any changes to the Service could involve your Service Elements

apply to all such Changes to the Service.

- CHANGES TO THE DOCUMENTS
- We may, in our sole discretion, modify, update, or revise these Terms of Service from time
to time but the most current version will always be available on the then-current app for the

modified’ date at the bottom of this page and notify you that material changes have been made
to these Terms of Service . Your continued use of the Service after any such change
constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service . If you do not agree to any of these
terms or any future Terms of Service, do not use or access (or continue to access) the
Service.
- Changes will usually occur because of new features being added to the Service, changes in
the law or where we need to clarify our position on something.
- Normally, we will try to give you some warning before the new terms become effective.
However, sometimes changes will need to be made immediately and if this happens we will not
give you any notice. We may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by
law or are for marketing or other business-related purposes, to you via email notice, written
or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our app, as determined by us in our
sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing
notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as
described in these Terms of Service. We are not responsible for any automatic filtering you or
your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you
provide us.
- DOCUMENTS THAT APPLY TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU
- The current version of the Terms of Service contains the only terms and conditions that
apply to our relationship with you.
- We intend to rely on these Terms of Service as setting out the written terms of our
agreement with you for the provision of the Service. If part of the Terms of Service cannot be
enforced then the remainder of the Terms of Service will still apply to our relationship.
- If you do not comply with these Terms of Service and we do not take action immediately, this
does not mean we have given up any right we have and we may still take action in the future.
- LAW
The Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of California without regard to conflict of laws
principles. Any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Terms of Service shall be
submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of California in the first instance. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the
terms of these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). You agree
that Santa Clara County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or
for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be
unenforceable.
READ THIS SECTION W CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND
LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. For any dispute with us, you agree to first
contact us at creativeaichat@gmail.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us
informally. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you
after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any
claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection
with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”),
by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect
for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will
be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise. If you are using
the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing,
administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the
arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for
expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes:
(i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and
successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include
your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and
other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without
first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the
informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section W shall be deemed as
preventing us from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to
prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security,
intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES,REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE
SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION,COLLECTIVE
ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO
CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE
PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
- ENTIRE AGREEMENT/SEVERABILITY/Waiver
These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with us
in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and us concerning
the Service. If any provision of these Terms of Service is deemed invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of these Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect.
- ASSIGNMENT
These Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or
assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment
in violation hereof shall be null and void.
- NO WAIVER
No waiver of any term of these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of
such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms
shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
- Consent to electronic communications; contact
- By using the Service, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us. You
agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you
electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those
communications be in writing. Please contact us at creativeaichat@gmail.com with any
