THE SITE AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." COMPANY AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. IF APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES WARRANTIES, THEY ARE LIMITED TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM FIRST USE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS; THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50). MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. SUPPLIERS HAVE NO LIABILITY ARISING FROM THESE TERMS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS; THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to indemnify Company and its officers, employees, and agents from claims arising from your use of the Site, User Content, or violation of these Terms or law. Company may assume exclusive defense at your expense; you agree to cooperate.
These Terms remain in effect while you use the Site. We may suspend or terminate your access, including your Account, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, access ends and User Content may be deleted from live databases. Company has no liability for termination. Sections on restrictions, User Content, indemnification, disclaimers, limitation of liability, copyright, and dispute resolution survive termination.
Company respects intellectual property rights. If you believe material on the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) to our Copyright Agent with: your signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of infringing material and its location; your contact information; a good-faith statement of unauthorized use; and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act. Misrepresentations may incur liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Designated Copyright Agent contact: legal@newspals.ai.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the Arbitration Agreement. Nothing limits mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence.
These Terms may be revised occasionally. Material changes may be notified by email to your last provided address and/or prominent notice on the Site. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance. You are responsible for keeping your email current.
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It requires binding arbitration with limited exceptions and limits how you seek relief from Company Parties (Company, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives).
Before arbitration or small-claims court, you and Company agree to a good-faith Informal Dispute Resolution Conference within 45 days after written Notice. Send Notice to legal@newspals.ai including your name, phone, mailing address, email associated with your account, counsel contact (if any), and dispute description. The conference is individualized unless parties agree otherwise. Statutes of limitation and filing fees are tolled during this process.
If informal resolution fails within 60 days after Notice, either party may initiate binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitration is administered by JAMS under Streamlined Rules for claims under $250,000 (excluding fees and interest) or Comprehensive Rules otherwise (see jamsadr.com). Unless agreed otherwise or Batch Arbitration applies, arbitration occurs in the county where you reside. Exchange of information is limited per JAMS Rules. Materials exchanged in arbitration are confidential.
The arbitrator has exclusive authority over arbitrable disputes except class-waiver enforceability, fee disputes, condition-precedent disputes, and which Arbitration Agreement version applies — those are for courts. The arbitrator may award relief available to an individual under applicable law and these Terms. Awards are final and binding.
EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS AND IP INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN COURT, YOU AND COMPANY PARTIES WAIVE RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ARBITRATION HAS LIMITED COURT REVIEW.
EXCEPT AS IN BATCH ARBITRATION BELOW, CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS — NOT AS CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTIONS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD DECLARATORY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
Parties bear their own fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim frivolous or improper under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). The party obtaining an order compelling arbitration may recover reasonable costs and fees.
If 100+ similar individual Requests are filed within 30 days, JAMS shall batch them in groups of 100 per batch with one arbitrator and one fee set per side per batch, as described in these Terms. This does not authorize class arbitration except as expressly stated.
You may opt out by written notice within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement to legal@newspals.ai, including your name, address, and clear opt-out statement. Opting out does not affect other Terms.
If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid, the remainder continues. Disputes must be initiated within applicable statutes of limitation.
If Company makes a material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject it within 30 days by writing to legal@newspals.ai. Rejection preserves the prior agreement if you were bound by it and had not opted out.
You agree not to export or reexport U.S. technical data acquired from Company in violation of U.S. export laws.
California residents may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services, California Department of Consumer Affairs, 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or (800) 952-5210.
You consent to receive communications electronically and agree electronic communications satisfy legal writing requirements where permitted.
These Terms are the entire agreement regarding the Site. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Section titles are for convenience. "Including" means including without limitation. Invalid provisions are modified to be enforceable to the maximum extent. You are an independent contractor, not an agent or partner. You may not assign these Terms without consent; Company may assign freely.
Marks displayed on the Site are Company or third-party property. You may not use Marks without prior written consent.
