• d. Beta Services.

  We sometimes release products and features that we are still testing and evaluating. Those Services have been marked beta, preview, early access, or evaluation (or with words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as other services. In addition, while we do use AES-256 bit encryption to encrypt user-files, the process of uploading files to GarbleCloud servers could result in files getting corrupted during their storage in the target cloud filestores (Google Drive or Dropbox). This might on very rare occasions, render the encrypted file(s) un-decryptable. Alternately, on rare occasions, the encryption-key might get corrupted or deleted due to unforeseen circumstances rendering the file(s) irretrievable.

  • Authority of Arbitrator

    As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable AAA rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the applicable AAA rules. discovery in the arbitration shall be limited to one set of interrogatories, one set of request for admissions, and one set of request for production of documents.
