Disputes: 

You and we agree that any cause of action, legal claim, or dispute between you and us arising out of or related to these Terms or RoofersCoffeeShop ("claim(s)") must be resolved by arbitration on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; you and we may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other RoofersCoffeeShop users. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision's limitations, then only that claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for relief) remain subject to this provision. 

Instead of using arbitration, you or we can bring claims in your local "small claims" court, if the rules of that court will allow it. If you don't bring your claims in small claims court (or if you or we appeal a small claims court judgment to a court of general jurisdiction), then the claims must be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. The American Arbitration Association will administer all arbitrations under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You and we expressly waive a trial by jury. 

The following claims don't have to be arbitrated and may be brought in court: disputes related to intellectual property (like copyrights and trademarks), violations of our Platform Policy, or efforts to interfere with the Service or engage with the Service in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways). In addition, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. 

This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act:

You can opt out of this provision within 30 days of the date that you agreed to these Terms. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your RoofersCoffeeShop account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement, and you must send and received by RoofersCoffeeShop. 

Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your RoofersCoffeeShop account, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek.  

For any claim that is not arbitrated or resolved in small claims court, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the WHERE or a state court located in WHERE. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim. 

The laws of the State of WHERE, to the extent not preempted by or inconsistent with federal law, will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Responsible AI Usage

Last updated June 1, 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an important tool in marketing and content development. It must be used transparently and ethically, and this guide ensures that The Coffee Shops crew members use of AI aligns with our values and our customers’ goals and rights.   

Guidelines for responsible AI usage   

Transparency - It's crucial that we remain transparent about our use of AI. This includes acknowledging when AI has been used to create or modify content. This can be through a blanket statement on our website or integrated into contracts with clients.   

At The Coffee Shops, AI is used to assist in the development of some content, but it is never used to fully automate the creation of content. It is used to help generate ideas and in cases provide summaries of other content to assist in article writing. We ensure that every piece of content we develop is shaped and reviewed by people who have an understanding of the audience and AI’s limitations.   

Accountability - Responsibility cannot be outsourced to a machine. Always remember that humans are ultimately accountable for the actions of the AI. AI is an assistant, not a replacement for good judgment. Our company policy is that we should NEVER publish or send something that has been written entirely by AI without human development or review for quality and accuracy. Additionally, in case of any negative outcomes from AI-assisted content, we must take responsibility and remediate as necessary.   

Privacy - We must protect the privacy of our customers. We will not submit confidential or unpublished information from our customers.  

Ethical considerations - AI should not be used to mislead or manipulate customers. All content created using AI should be ethical and in line with our corporate values. AI content should go through a review process to check for bias, inaccuracies and other risks.   

Training employees on AI usage - All employees involved in creating content with AI will receive appropriate training. This should cover both the technical aspects of using AI, and the ethical considerations outlined in this policy.
