Introduction

Welcome to Switcher Solutions Terms of Service! The first portion of our Terms of Service is an introduction, which is structured like an FAQ and lays out some high-level concepts before diving into other terms.

What documents make up the TOS?

We refer to the Terms of Service as the “TOS”.

Whom does this TOS apply to?

This Terms of Service (TOS) applies to Switcher Solutions W.L.L and includes its parents, affiliates, and subsidiaries. When we use terms like "Switcher," "we," "us," or "our," we are referring to Switcher Solutions W.L.L along with its parent companies, affiliated entities, and subsidiary organizations. This TOS is binding for all these entities collectively.

When we mention the term "User," we're addressing you directly, and we'll also use words like "you" and "your" to refer to you. However, the situation becomes more intricate if you are using our services on behalf of a company, organization, or another entity. In such instances, you are representing to us that you possess the authority to legally commit your company, organization, or entity to this Terms of Service (TOS). Consequently, "User," "you," and "your" will then refer to that specific entity.

This TOS is a binding contract between you and switcher and covers all of the offerings, websites, products, services, features, content, applications and other things we offer to users.

When does this TOS apply to me?

Now that we have some common language, we want to ensure you understand when and how the TOS applies.

First and foremost, you must understand that this is a binding legal contract that is required to use our products and Services. As such, you may only use our products and Services if you agree that you have read, understood, and consented to be bound by this TOS.

If you sign up for Services or create an account through our Websites, this TOS takes effect when you click “I accept” or other functionality indicating your acceptance of its terms. If you purchase Services through a separate written contract, this TOS is incorporated into that contract, whether it is called out or not. Regardless of these other methods, when you access or use our products and Services, this TOS applies and is legally binding on you and to your access and use. These are common examples, and this paragraph does not necessarily include all the other ways you can become bound to this TOS. We want to clarify the distinction between our websites, which we will collectively refer to as the "Websites" (e.g., switcher.app), and all our other offerings, including our cloud infrastructure and various paid services, which we will collectively refer to as the "Services." This differentiation will help you understand when we are specifically talking about our websites and when we are referring to our broader range of services.

What happens with disputes under this TOS?

One requirement of our TOS is that you must agree to resolve disputes arising under this TOS through binding arbitration directly between you and Switcher. In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator or panel of arbitrators will hear the arguments of both sides and decide on disputes in an expedient and cost-effective manner. You will still be able to pursue cases in court when those cases are for small claims, but all other claims will be subject to arbitration.

You should understand that this means neither you nor switcher will have the opportunity to resolve some disputes in court before a judge or jury. You will be unable to pursue claims in a conventional trial and will not be able to participate in a court-based class action or similar proceeding.
