16. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
16.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Tocayo agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if they qualify.
16.2 Informal Resolution First
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at support@tocayo.ai and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally for at least 30 days. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the initial notice, either party may proceed to arbitration.
16.3 Arbitration Rules and Procedure
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules or, if applicable, its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in Travis County, Texas, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
16.4 Arbitration Fees
If you initiate arbitration, Tocayo will reimburse your filing fees up to $250 for claims under $10,000. For claims above $10,000, filing fees will be allocated in accordance with AAA rules. Each party is responsible for its own attorney's fees unless the arbitrator determines that a party's claim or defense was frivolous, in which case the arbitrator may award reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing party.
16.5 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND TOCAYO 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, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. YOU AND TOCAYO EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.
16.6 Opt-Out Right
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written notice to support@tocayo.ai within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision. If you opt out, any Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
16.7 Exceptions
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms within the app and on tocayo.ai, and by updating the "Effective Date" above. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service and cancel your account.
18. General Provisions
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tocayo regarding the Service.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
