We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of our Service or the responses provided by our AI agent. We strive to comply with consumer protection laws across North America, including the Federal Trade Commission Act in the U.S. and the Competition Bureau's regulations in Canada.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Firespawn Studios operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. We encourage you to first contact our customer service team for assistance if you experience any issues with our Service(s). Our customer service aims to swiftly resolve any concerns directly with our users and prevent the need for further legal disputes.

If the issue cannot be resolved through our customer service team, the next step is to seek resolution through mediation. All disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms that proceed beyond customer service interaction shall initially be attempted to be resolved through mediation. This mediation will be conducted by a neutral mediator agreed upon by both parties, or, if no agreement can be reached, then a mediator will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Each party will bear their own costs in mediation and will share equally the fees of the mediator unless otherwise agreed.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, it shall then be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in the jurisdiction where Firespawn Studios is located, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. For international users, arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, and any logistical details, including but not limited to the location and specific procedures, will be provided to you at the time of the dispute to ensure clear understanding and preparedness for all involved parties.

Arbitration shall only occur after a failed attempt at mediation. The user of the Service(s) understands that a good faith attempt at mediating all grievances and/or issues must be presented to Firespawn Studios first, in order to proceed with arbitration in the event the parties fail to agree to a satisfactory outcome through mediation.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Firespawn Studios, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of or related to your use of our Service or violation of these Terms. This indemnification is subject to the limitations of liability. You agree to notify us immediately of any such claims, suits, or proceedings.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our Service at any time, for any reason, without prior notice, in compliance with the laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease, and Firespawn Studios may delete all associated data, except as required by law or our data retention policies.

Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally to reflect changes in laws and regulations or significant changes to our Service offerings. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and/or within the app. Your continued use of our Service(s) after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service(s) and may request the termination of your account.

Subscriptions

Taxes will be collected as applicable according to your location. If the automatic payment method is insufficient on the renewal date, your subscription will be suspended until remedied. You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel your subscription, you will not receive a refund for any fees already paid. Your subscription will continue until the end of the current billing period. In case of any disputes regarding subscriptions, please contact our support team for resolution.
