- DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If you have a legal dispute with CHEERYCHATS, the following information outlines how the
dispute will be resolved:
If you are dissatisfied with our Services, please contact CHEERYCHATS Customer Service so
we can work together to address your concerns. If you choose to pursue a claim against
CHEERYCHATS, these terms will apply.
14a. ARBITRATION, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY WAIVER
If you decide to pursue a legal claim against CHEERYCHATS, you agree to resolve the dispute
through arbitration (with limited exceptions).
The exclusive method for resolving any dispute or claim arising from or relating to this
Agreement or our Services (including any alleged breach thereof) shall be BINDING
ARBITRATION. The only exception to arbitration is that either party may bring an individual
claim in small claims court, provided the claim falls within the jurisdiction of that court. If the
responding party requests small claims court resolution before the appointment of an arbitrator,
the arbitration will be administratively closed; if requested after the appointment of an arbitrator,
the arbitrator will decide whether the dispute should proceed in arbitration or small claims court.
Regardless of whether you choose arbitration or small claims court, you may not initiate or
participate in any class action, class arbitration, or other representative proceedings against the
Company.
By engaging with our Services, you agree to this arbitration agreement and waive your right to
go to court to bring or defend any claims (except as noted for small claims court matters). You
also waive your right to participate in class actions or other class proceedings. A neutral
arbitrator will determine your rights, and NOT a judge or jury, and will decide all issues related
to the arbitrability of the dispute.
You are entitled to a fair and impartial hearing before the arbitrator, who has the authority to
grant any relief a court could, but arbitration proceedings are typically faster and more
streamlined than court proceedings. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable in court and may only
be overturned for limited reasons.
Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any to confirm, amend, or vacate
an arbitration award, may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. If this arbitration
agreement is deemed unenforceable for any reason, litigation against the Company (except for
small claims court actions) must be brought only in the federal or state courts located in
Massachusetts. You irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of these courts for such purposes.
14b. GOVERNING LAW
If there is a dispute, Massachusetts and the Federal Arbitration Act will apply (except where
prohibited by law).
Except where prohibited by law, the laws of Massachusetts, U.S.A., will govern any disputes
arising from or relating to this Agreement or our Services.
14c. VENUE
If a claim is not subject to arbitration for any reason, it must be litigated in Massachusetts
(excluding small claims court cases or where prohibited by law).
Except for claims properly brought in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction in your
place of residence or in Massachusetts, all claims arising from or relating to this Agreement or
our Services must be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Massachusetts, U.S.A.
- INDEMNITY BY YOU
If a claim is made against CHEERYCHATS LLC as a result of your actions, you agree to
indemnify CHEERYCHATS LLC.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you explicitly agree to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless CHEERYCHATS LLC, our affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents,
and employees from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and
expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or related to your use of our Services, Your
Content, Your conduct toward other users, or your breach of this Agreement. - ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By using our Services, you agree to be bound by (i) these Terms, which we may modify from
time to time, and (ii) our Privacy Policy.
All pronouns and variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular, or plural,
as appropriate based on the context. The capitalization of a word shall be deemed to have the
same meaning as the uncapitalized version of that word. - ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any Additional Terms
Upon Purchase, constitutes the entire agreement between you and CHEERYCHATS regarding
your use of our Services, superseding any prior agreements or representations. If any provision
of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms shall remain in full force
and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a
waiver of such right or provision. Your account is non-transferable, and all rights to your account
and its content terminate upon your death unless otherwise provided by law. You may not
transfer or assign any rights or licenses granted hereunder, but we may assign these rights at our
discretion. No agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, or other special relationship or
employment is created as a result of these Terms, and you may not make any representations on
behalf of or bind CHEERYCHATS in any capacity.
