+5. **Third-Party Services & Other Users**
+    1. **Third-Party Services.** The Site may include links to or integrations with third-party websites or services, or may display third-party advertisements (collectively, "**Third-Party Services**").

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
+6. **Disclaimers**. THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT INCREASE THIS CAP.
+8. **Term and Termination**. These Terms remain in effect while you use the Site. We may suspend or terminate your access (including suspending access to or deleting your account) at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.

+    1. **Changes to Terms.** We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you by email (at the address on file) or by a prominent notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after notice of changes means you accept the updated Terms.
+    2. **Governing Law.** These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of <mark>[California]</mark>, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. For any claim or dispute not subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 11, you and Company irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in <mark>[County]</mark>, <mark>[California]</mark>. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights (including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets); and (b) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for claims within that court's jurisdictional limits.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be valid, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. The word "including" means "including without limitation." You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely. These Terms bind any permitted assignees.
+    7. **Copyright/Trademark.** Copyright © 202<mark>[_][Company]</mark>. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site are owned by Company or third parties. You may not use any of them without prior written consent from the owner.

+11. **Dispute Resolution. [<mark>Two alternative arbitration clauses are provided below. Select one and delete the other before publishing.]</mark> <mark>[OPTION A -- JAMS Arbitration]</mark> Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and your right to a jury trial.**
+    1. **Applicability.** Except as described below, you and Company agree to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the Site, its services, or these Terms through binding individual arbitration -- not in court. Exceptions include: (i) claims that qualify for small claims court, brought on an individual basis; and (ii) requests for equitable relief related to intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade secrets, or copyrights). This arbitration agreement applies to all claims, including those that arose before you agreed to these Terms.
+    2. **Try to Resolve First.** Before starting arbitration, the parties agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send written notice (an "Informal Notice") to the other party. Within 45 days of receiving that Informal Notice, the parties will meet by phone or video in good faith to try to work things out. Company's notice address: <mark>disputes@company.com</mark> or <mark>[address]</mark>, California <mark>[ZIP]</mark>. If the informal dispute resolution process doesn't resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may start arbitration.
+    3. **Arbitration Rules.** Arbitrations will be administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). Claims under $250,000 (excluding fees and interest) will use JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules; larger claims will use JAMS' Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be conducted in the county where you live. All arbitration materials and documents are confidential.
+    4. The arbitration request must include: (i) your contact information and account username (if applicable); (ii) a description of the claims and supporting facts; (iii) the relief you're seeking and a good-faith damages estimate; (iv) confirmation that you completed the informal resolution process; and (v) proof of any required filing fee payment.
+    5. **Authority of Arbitrator.** The arbitrator has authority to resolve all arbitrable disputes, including questions about the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement -- except that courts (not arbitrators) will decide: (i) challenges to the class action waiver below; (ii) disputes about arbitration fees; (iii) whether a condition precedent to arbitration has been satisfied; and (iv) which version of this agreement applies. The arbitrator may award the same relief as a court, but on an individual basis only. The arbitrator's award is final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
+    6. **Waiver of Jury Trial.** BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL COVERED CLAIMS.
+    7. **Waiver of Class Actions.** ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR COMPANY MAY BRING CLAIMS AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may only award relief on an individual basis. If a court finds this class action waiver unenforceable as to a specific claim, that claim may be litigated in state or federal court in <mark>[California]</mark>; all other claims remain subject to arbitration.
+    8. **Attorneys' Fees.** Each party bears its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
+    9. **Batch Arbitration.** If 100 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against Company within a 30-day period by the same law firm or coordinated group, JAMS will batch them into groups of 100 and appoint one arbitrator per batch, with one set of fees per batch.
+    10. **Opt-Out.** You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to: <mark>[Address]</mark>, California <mark>[ZIP]</mark> or <mark>email@email.com</mark>. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
+    11. **Severability.** If any part of this arbitration agreement is found invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable; the rest of the agreement remains in effect.
+11. **<mark>[OPTION B -- DecisionLayer Arbitration. Note: The following uses the standard DecisionLayer arbitration clause, which provides for arbitration that may be administered by AI under human supervision. For more information, see https://decisionlayer.ai</mark>*.*<mark> ]</mark>** This agreement requires you to arbitrate any disputes arising out of or relating to the agreement in an individual arbitration and not a class arbitration. You acknowledge that by accepting these Terms, you waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class action or class proceeding.
+    1. **Arbitration of Disputes.** Any dispute arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms -- including questions of interpretation, formation, breach, termination, validity, enforceability, or arbitrability -- will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by Decision Science Research Corporation ("**DecisionLayer**") under its rules, available at https://www.decisionlayer.ai/rules (the "**Rules**"). The arbitrator has authority to determine all threshold questions of arbitrability. Judgment on any award may be entered in any State or Federal court in New York County, New York, or any other court of competent jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by the Rules, the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the internal laws of the State of New York (without reference to conflict-of-law rules). By agreeing to arbitration under this clause, you acknowledge that DecisionLayer may resolve disputes using an artificial intelligence or large language model ("**AI**") acting under human supervision, a human arbitrator, or a combination of both, as selected by the parties under the Rules. All information reviewed by any AI during arbitration is also reviewed by a human case manager, and any award is likewise reviewed by a human case manager before issuance. Every award will be accompanied by a written opinion explaining the reasoning, including findings of fact and conclusions of law. Your relationship with DecisionLayer is governed by the DecisionLayer Terms of Service at https://www.decisionlayer.ai/terms.
+    2. **Consent and Waiver.** YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, AGREE, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO: (A) AI ARBITRATION; (B) DECISIONLAYER'S ARBITRATION AUTHORITY; (C) THE RULES; AND (D) THE DECISIONLAYER TERMS OF SERVICE.
+    3. **Waiver of Choice of Law/Forum Objections.** YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL OBJECTIONS TO THE CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING FORUM NON CONVENIENS OBJECTIONS, AND CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE NEW YORK COURTS FOR PURPOSES OF ENTERING OR REVIEWING ARBITRATION AWARDS.
+    4. **Jury Trial Waiver.** BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
+    5. **Class Action Waiver.** ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW. YOU WAIVE YOUR ABILITY TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY.
+    6. **Binding Arbitration and Limited Appeal.** DECISIONLAYER ARBITRATION IS BINDING. GROUNDS FOR OVERTURNING OR APPEALING AN AWARD ARE LIMITED. ANY MOTION TO CONFIRM, VACATE, OR MODIFY AN AWARD SHALL BE BROUGHT UNDER THE FAA AND/OR NEW YORK LAW (NY CPLR ARTICLE 75), WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT-OF-LAW RULES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO APPEAL EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED UNDER THE FAA.
+    7. **Costs and Fees.** Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and arbitration costs unless otherwise provided by law, the Rules, or an arbitration award.
+    8. **Service of Process.** You consent to receive notice of arbitration proceedings by any of the following: through DecisionLayer's website (if you have an account); by email to any address you have provided to Company; via other contact information you have provided to Company; or as permitted by applicable law. Service by any one of these means is effective. You waive all objections to service of process in any of these manners.
+    9. **Opt-Out.** You may opt out of this arbitration clause and the class action waiver by sending written notice to <mark>[Insert Email or Address]</mark> within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms (or being notified of a material change to this clause). Your notice must include your full legal name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out.
+    10. **Severability.** If any provision of this arbitration clause is invalid or unenforceable, it will be automatically modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable; all other provisions remain in full force and effect.
+    11. **Material Inducement.** YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE BEFORE DECISIONLAYER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR COMPANY TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS WITH YOU.
