19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to a jury trial and right to participate in class actions.

This Section governs any dispute, claim, or controversy ("Dispute") between You and Us arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, the Services, or the relationship between You and Us. By accepting these Terms, You and We agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration except as provided below. This means You and We waive the right to a trial by judge or jury and to participate in a class action or representative proceeding.

19.2 Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

Before initiating arbitration or filing a lawsuit, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute informally. Send Us a notice by email to accounts@avaza.co that includes Your name, address, a written description of Your claim, and the specific relief You are seeking. If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving your notice, You may proceed with arbitration.

19.3 Exclusions and Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, either You or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court rather than arbitration if the Dispute qualifies for small claims jurisdiction. You may opt out of arbitration by sending Us written notice within 30 days from the date You first accepted these Terms to accounts@avaza.co.

19.4 Arbitration Procedures

If arbitration applies, either You or We may initiate arbitration with either the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, or JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures. There will be one neutral arbitrator, and the arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs the interpretation, enforcement, and scope of this arbitration agreement.

19.6 Class Action Waiver

All disputes must be resolved on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not preside over any class, consolidated, or representative actions, unless both You and We specifically agree in writing after a Dispute arises.

19.7 Jury and Court Trial Waiver

You and We each waive any right to a jury trial, bench trial, or trial before any court on any Dispute covered by this Section.

19.8 Severability

If any portion of this arbitration provision (other than the Class Action Waiver) is found to be unenforceable, that portion may be severed. If the Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided in court.

19.9 Survival

This Section shall survive the termination of Your account or Your cessation of use of the Platform.

AVAZA LSC is not responsible for interruptions in service or reduced service quality caused by the Customer's network, equipment, or facilities.

5. Reservations and Cancellations

5.1 Interpreter Scheduling

Customers may request interpreters 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for both Pre-Scheduled Calls and On-Demand Calls.

5.2 Pre-Scheduled Calls

Customers may reserve an interpreter for a specified future date and time ("Pre-Scheduled Call") through the Platform. AVAZA LSC will use best efforts to provide an interpreter at the requested time and date; however, for reservations made within 24 hours of the requested start time (or within three business days for ASL), AVAZA LSC cannot guarantee interpreter availability.

5.3 Charges and Usage Fees

  • Customers will be charged a per-minute usage fee for Pre-Scheduled Calls, with a minimum charge equal to the reserved time
  • If a Pre-Scheduled Call is reserved for 60 minutes but only lasts 15 minutes, the Customer will be charged for 60 minutes
  • If a Pre-Scheduled Call lasts 75 minutes, the Customer will be charged for 75 minutes; time beyond the reserved duration is considered Overage Time

5.4 Overage Time Note

If a session enters Overage Time, AVAZA LSC does not guarantee the original interpreter will continue on the call. Customers should reserve sufficient time based on anticipated usage.

5.5 No-Shows and Cancellation Charges

  • If a Pre-Scheduled Call is canceled or modified outside the applicable cancellation or modification window (24 hours prior for all languages except ASL; three business days for ASL), the Customer will be charged the full reserved time as a Cancellation Fee
  • Interpreters will wait 15 minutes after the scheduled start time; if the Customer has not joined the call within that period, the call will be canceled and the Customer charged a Cancellation Fee

5.6 Contact Information for Calls

For all Pre-Scheduled Calls, Customers must provide a direct telephone number and email address of the individual receiving the interpreting services. Failure to provide accurate contact information may result in service failure and applicable fees.

5.7 Third-Party Platforms

For Pre-Scheduled Calls held outside of the AVAZA LSC Platform (e.g., Doxy, Google Meet), Customers must provide the call link at the time of booking. If no link is provided in advance, the request will be canceled and require rescheduling.

6. Other Services

Document translation and transcription services may be provided on a project basis as described in an Order Form, SOW, or as otherwise agreed in writing. For certain services, AVAZA LSC may engage third-party providers.
