Mandatory Arbitration: You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of Detask will be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except for small claims matters that qualify for resolution in local courts.

Class Action Waiver: All disputes must be brought on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in class actions, collective actions, or representative claims against Detask. If this waiver is deemed unenforceable, arbitration will not apply, and disputes will proceed in the courts of London, UK.

Arbitration Rules and Process: Arbitration will be administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider (e.g., AAA or equivalent in the UK/EU) in accordance with their consumer arbitration procedures. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any remedies available under law, but only on an individual basis.

Waiver of Jury Trial: By agreeing to arbitration, you and Detask knowingly waive any right to a trial by judge or jury. All arbitration proceedings will be private, and the arbitrator’s ruling will resolve your dispute conclusively.
