## Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

### Informal Dispute Resolution

Before filing a claim against us, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [DISPUTE_CONTACT_EMAIL]. We will attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or we may initiate formal proceedings.

### Agreement to Arbitrate

You and we agree to resolve any disputes between us through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to sue in court, have a jury trial, or participate in a class action.

This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and shall survive the termination of these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by [ARBITRATION_PROVIDER] under its then-current rules and procedures, including any supplementary procedures for consumer-related disputes.

### Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to arbitration: (1) small claims court cases that qualify; (2) disputes related to intellectual property (like patents, trademarks, and copyright); (3) disputes related to or arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (4) any claim for injunctive relief.

### Arbitration Procedures

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent: [COMPANY_ADDRESS]. The arbitration will be conducted in [ARBITRATION_LOCATION] unless you and we agree to conduct it elsewhere. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the arbitration rules.

### Arbitration Fees

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the arbitration provider's rules. If the arbitrator finds that your claim is non-frivolous, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, regardless of who initiated the proceeding.

### Class Action Waiver

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

### Opt-Out Procedure

You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of the date you first agreed to these Terms by sending a signed letter stating your decision to [OPT_OUT_ADDRESS]. If you opt out of this arbitration agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you.

### Severability

If any part of this arbitration agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class or representative arbitration, this arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable in its entirety.

### Changes to Arbitration Agreement

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration agreement (except a change to the notice address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change.

## Intellectual Property Rights

### Our Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding Content provided by users), features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of [COMPANY_NAME] and its licensors.

## Bot Commands and Permissions

### Command Usage

Our bot responds to specific commands, which are documented at [COMMAND_DOCUMENTATION_URL]. Commands typically begin with a designated prefix or mention of the bot, followed by the command name and any required parameters. For example: `!command [parameter]` or `@Bot command [parameter]`.

We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove commands at any time. While we strive to maintain backwards compatibility, we cannot guarantee that all commands will function indefinitely as originally designed.

### Permission Requirements

Certain bot commands require specific permissions to function properly. These permissions fall into two categories:

1. **Bot Permissions**: Permissions that must be granted to the bot within the platform (e.g., Discord permissions such as "Send Messages," "Read Message History," "Manage Messages," etc.)

2. **User Permissions**: Permissions that the user invoking the command must have (e.g., server administrator, moderator roles, etc.)

Attempts to use commands without the necessary permissions may result in error messages or command failure. The required permissions for each command are documented in our command reference guide.

### Command Restrictions

Some commands may be restricted based on:

- Subscription tier (free vs. premium)

- Server boost level or member count

- User roles or permissions

- Cooldown periods to prevent abuse

- Server-specific configurations set by administrators

### Custom Commands

Where applicable, our bot may support custom commands created by server administrators. Server administrators are responsible for the content and functioning of custom commands they create. Custom commands must comply with these Terms, the platform's terms of service, and applicable laws. We reserve the right to disable custom commands that violate these requirements.

### Command Outputs and Responses

Command outputs may include text, embeds, images, buttons, or other interactive elements. We do not guarantee the format, appearance, or exact content of command responses, which may change as we update and improve the bot.

### Automated and Scheduled Commands

Where our bot supports automated or scheduled commands (such as recurring announcements or moderation actions), we do not guarantee the exact timing of execution. Scheduled commands may be delayed due to technical limitations, service disruptions, or resource constraints. Server administrators are responsible for configuring automated features appropriately for their communities.
