Third-Party and Affiliated Sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, or materials that are not owned or controlled by The ClaimBridge.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, The ClaimBridge and/or its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Site and Services, including all content, features, and functionality. All rights are reserved. You may access and use the Site for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms of Use.

Governing Law; Venue

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any action arising out of or relating to the Site or Services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Laredo, Texas, unless otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth in the arbitration provision below.

Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

By using the Site or Services, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or Services will be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by applicable law.

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at replies@theclaimbridge.com. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the informal process begins, either party may commence arbitration by submitting a written demand to the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

Arbitration will be administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as applicable. Unless the parties agree otherwise or applicable law requires a different location, the arbitration will take place in Austin, Texas. Each party will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs, and arbitration fees will be allocated as required by the applicable AAA rules and governing law. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver

Arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person or preside over any class, collective, representative, or private attorney general proceeding.

If the arbitration provision is found unenforceable for any reason, you and The ClaimBridge agree that any proceeding will be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, or representative action. To the extent permitted by law, you and The ClaimBridge also waive the right to a trial by jury.

Severability; Waiver

If any provision of these Terms of Use is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. A waiver of any breach will not constitute a waiver of any other breach or of the same provision on any other occasion.

No License

Nothing on the Site grants you any license or right to use any trademarks, service marks, logos, or other proprietary materials owned by The ClaimBridge or any third party, except as expressly permitted in writing by the applicable owner.

Modifications to Terms; Site Changes

The ClaimBridge may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice: (a) revise these Terms of Use; (b) modify or update the Site or Services; and/or (c) suspend or discontinue the Site or Services at any time. Any updates to these Terms of Use will be posted on the Site and will be effective immediately upon posting.
