Accuracy and Limitations
Artificial intelligence are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial.

You must evaluate content for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case before sharing or relying on content from the Services.
Our Services may generate content that does not represent Odyssey's views. If content references any third party products or services, it doesn't mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with Odyssey.

Our aggregate liability under these terms will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). The limitations in this section apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Dispute Resolution
You and Odyssey agree to the following mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions:
Mandatory Arbitration
You and Odyssey agree to resolve any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of when the claim arose, even if it was before these Terms existed (a "Dispute"), through final and binding arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first using our Services by contacting hello@odyssey.systems.
Informal Dispute Resolution
We would like to understand and try to address your concerns prior to formal legal action. Before either of us files a claim against the other, we both agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting hello@odyssey.systems. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 60 days, either of us has the right to initiate arbitration. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during this informal resolution process.
Arbitration Forum
If we are unable to resolve the Dispute, either of us may commence arbitration with National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM") under its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted by video conference if possible, but if the arbitrator determines a hearing should be conducted in person, the location will be in Santa Clara County, California, or as determined by the arbitrator.
Exceptions
This section does not require informal dispute resolution or arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement.
Class and Jury Trial Waivers
You and Odyssey agree that Disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, and representative actions are prohibited. You and Odyssey knowingly and irrevocably waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim.
