Limitation of Liability
Limited Liability Policy
Our Service is not a language Interpreting Service, rather, a means to make a language Interpreting Service more accessible to You. You understand, any Interpreting Service listed on Our Website is an independent contractor representing themself before you. It is Your duty and obligation to perform proper due diligence before engaging in any relationship with an Interpreting Service Provider or Third-Party Communication Service Provider pursuant an Interpreting Service. We make no representations or warranties as to any Interpreting Services, and any provider thereof or therefor, with respect to their accuracy, timeliness, reliability, completeness, security, privacy, or otherwise.
Although We screen Interpreting Service Provider before he/she is listed on Our Website, to verify they are certified or qualified Interpreters, You understand and agree that the certification and qualification of various Interpreting Service Providers is a complicated and industry wide challenging task, and by using Our Service, You acknowledge and consent to this risk, and thereby release the Company, its agent, an assignees from any and all liabilities, errors, and/or omissions that result from verifying the Interpreting Service Providers eligibility to perform through Our Service.
While We endeavor to maintain an accurate rating system to improve the quality of Your Interpreting Service experience, You understand the ratings are based on user participation and input, which may or may not be an accurate reflection of Your Interpreting Service experience. Although the Company may use these reviews to suspend or terminate the poorly rated Interpreting Service Provider from Our Service, We withhold this right, in our sole discretion, and are not bound by duty or obligation to take any action based on user reviews or rating. Understanding this, You waive any and all claims in equity or in law, of, or relating to, any symbolically expressed or implied representations by Us or other users on our rating system.
Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of the Company and any of its Affiliates under any provision of these Terms and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount actually paid by You to Us and for Us through the Service, or 100 USD if You haven't purchased anything through the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its Affiliates be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Service, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Service, or otherwise in connection with any provision of this Terms), even if the Company or any Affiliate has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these states, each party's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
"AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" Disclaimer
The Service is provided to You "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and relevant service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Service, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice.

Disputes Resolution
This section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and we agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act
We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms, if You have any dispute or disagreement with Us regarding (i) Your use of or interaction with Our Services, (ii) any subscriptions or other purchases, transactions or relationships related to Your use of Our Services, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to us or that we may gather in connection with such use, interaction, subscriptions, purchases, transactions or relationships (collectively, “Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with Our Services, or engaging in any other Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.
We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that You may have with Us. If those efforts fail, by using Our Services, You agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against us, and any claim that We may have against You, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms or any Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final, confidential and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect that would be applicable to the matter in dispute, we agree to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to You to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies (that is, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that:
a. Single Arbitrator Presumed
The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and us (the “Arbitrator”). However, at the request of either party, a panel of three arbitrators will conduct the arbitration, with one arbitrator chosen by each of the parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators.
b. Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement
The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.
c. Location of Arbitration
The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location within the State of Arizona, determined pursuant to the Applicable Rules; or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by You and Us; or (iii) at Your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone, virtually, or by written submission.
d. Governing Law.
The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of Arizona consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Delaware or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief.
e. No Class Relief.
The Arbitration can resolve only Your and/or Our individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW OR DEEMED BY A COURT OF LAW TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY. To the extent either party is permitted by law or court of law to proceed with a class or representative action against the other, the parties agree that: (i) the prevailing party shall not be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees or costs associated with pursuing the class or representative action (notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement); and (ii) the party who initiates or participates as a member of the class will not submit a claim or otherwise participate in any recovery secured through the class or representative action.
f. Written Award
The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
g. Arbitration Costs.
In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
If the arbitrator determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
h. Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause
With the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitrate any dispute between us and you, and must instead bring any claims subject to subsection (k) below.
i. Modification of Arbitration Clause With Notice
We may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after we have given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from Transactions or Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification. If any modification pursuant to this subpart (j) is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the arbitration provisions effective at the time of your agreement to these Terms shall govern any dispute or disagreement between You and Us regarding Transactions or Relationships.
j. Small Claims Matters are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims
Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, and subject to this Section, at Your option, You may bring any claim for damages you have against Us in your local small claims court within the U.S., if Your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.
k. Confidentiality of Arbitration
You and We agree to maintain the confidential nature of the Arbitration and shall not disclose the fact of the Arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any mediation, proceedings of the Arbitration, the Arbitrator’s decision and the existence or amount of any Award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the Arbitration (in which case anyone becoming privy to such confidential information must undertake to preserve its confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a provisional remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by applicable law or court order.

Waiver
