Technical Support Services

- By Agency. Agency will provide technical support for Agency’s Services only. In the event the Customer requests further technical support from Agency in order to troubleshoot issues related to a third-party program, application, software, or device, Agency may, in its sole discretion, elect to troubleshoot with the Customer the issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agency is under no obligation to troubleshoot or support Customer on third-party programs, applications, software, or devices and therefore neither Agency, its employees, third-party partners nor related entities may be responsible for any issues, problems, or damages that may arise from Agency’s technical support of third-party program, application, software, or device(s).
- Customer Data Shared in Communications. Customer understands and accepts that any correspondence, whether written or verbal, is not protected or encrypted and under no circumstances shall Agency be responsible for any information included in correspondences to Agency that Customer elects to include personal, sensitive, or protected data.
- Uptime. Agency shall give reasonable efforts to keep Services operational however, certain technical difficulties, maintenance or test, result in interruptions outside of Agency’s control may result in a suspension or diminishment of Services. Customer understands and accepts such possible downtimes may happen and shall hold Agency harmless from any damages, whether direct or indirect of any type.
-
Deprecation of Services. Agency may discontinue any Services or any portion or feature for any reason at any time without liability to Customer. Agency will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate certain Services without these changes for at least three months after that announcement, unless (as Agency determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):
- required by law or third-party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or
- doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden.
-
Security and Fraud Controls.
- Agency’s Security. Agency is responsible for protecting the security of certain Customer Data provided by you that is in our possession. We will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect User Data and Personal Data stored in our servers from unauthorized access, accidental loss, modification, or breach, and we will comply with applicable Laws when we handle User and Personal Data. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or misuse any Customer Data in our possession. You provide Customer Data, which may include user data and customer data, to Agency with the understanding that any security measures we provide may not be appropriate or adequate for your business, and you agree to implement Security Controls (as defined below) and any additional controls that meet your specific requirements. In our sole discretion, we may take any action, including suspension of account and Services, to maintain the integrity and security of the Services or Data, or to prevent harm to you, us, Customers, or others. You waive any right to make a claim against us for losses you incur that may result from such actions.
- Customer Security. Customer is solely responsible for the security of any Customer Data on Customer’s Device(s) in Customer’s possession, or that Customer is otherwise authorized to access or handle. Customer will comply with applicable Laws when handling or maintaining user data and personal data and will provide evidence of Customer compliance to Agency upon request. If Customer does not provide evidence of such compliance to Agency’s satisfaction, Agency may suspend your Agency account, Services, or terminate this Agreement.
- Security Controls. Customer is responsible for assessing any and all security requirements of Customer or anyone using the Services and selecting and implementing security procedures and controls ("Security Controls") appropriate to mitigate Customer exposure to security incidents. Agency may provide Security Controls as part of the Services or suggest that Customer implement specific Security Controls. However, Customer’s responsibility for securing Customer devices is not diminished by any Security Controls that Agency provide or suggest, and if Customer believes that the Security Controls Agency provide are insufficient, then Customer must separately implement additional controls that meet Customer’s requirements. No security solution is foolproof and therefore AGENCY DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT USE OF SERVICE WILL FIND, LOCATE, OR DISCOVER ALL SYSTEM THREATS, VULNERABILITIES, MALWARE, MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, ETC. AND THEREFORE, AGENCY WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH FAILURE IN NOTIFICATION OR PROTECTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE AGENCY SERVICES ARE NOT FAULT TOLERANT OR DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE USINED IN ANY ENVIRONMENT REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION. DO NOT USE OUR SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH ANYTHING THAT WOULD REQUIRE CONTINUIOUS CONNECTION OR USE. Nothing in our informational materials or advertising should be construed in a way or read by the Customer that we provide the foregoing.
- Risk. While Agency may provide or suggest Security Controls, Agency cannot guarantee that Customers will never become victims of fraud or cyber-attack. Any Security Controls Agency provide or suggest may include processes or applications developed by Agency, its affiliates, or other companies. Customer agrees to review all the Security Controls Agency suggest and choose those that are appropriate for Customer’s device(s) to protect against unauthorized access and, if appropriate for Customer device(s), independently implement other security procedures and controls not provided by Agency. If Customer disable or fail to properly use Security Controls, Customer will increase the likelihood of unauthorized access and other similar occurrences. Keep in mind that Customer are solely responsible for losses Customer incur from the use of lost or stolen credentials, Customer Data, or accounts by fraudsters or cyber attackers who engage in nefarious or fraudulent actions with Customer, and Customer’s failure to implement Security Controls will only increase the risk of fraud or cyber-attack. Agency may assist Customer with recovery, but Customer are solely responsible for losses due to lost or stolen credentials or accounts, compromise of Customer’s username or password, changes Account, and any other unauthorized use or modification of Customer’s Agency Account. Agency is not liable or responsible to Customer and Customer waives any right to bring a claim against Agency for any losses that result from the use of lost or stolen credentials or unauthorized use or modification of Customer’s Agency Account.

The Minimum Standards are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/.
- You and the Agency must abide by these rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action and the arbitrator shall not award class-wide relief; (b) the Agency will pay its arbitration costs as required by JAMS rules, and in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, the Agency will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (c) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (d) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation costs, and in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
- With the exception of subpart (a) in the paragraph above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, subpart (a) in the paragraph above is found invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or U.S. federal court in California.
- Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Agency each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first.
