"Customer" refers to the person who asks a question on the Platform. “Expert” refers to theperson who answers a question on the Platform. Customer and Expert together are “Users". TheseTerms of Service and all rules, policies and disclaimers posted on the Platform or about which youare notified, and, if you are an Expert, the Expert Agreement, (collectively, the “Terms”) governyour use of the Platform.
By using or otherwise accessing the Platform or clicking to accept or agree to these Terms, you (1) accept and agree to these Terms and (2) consent to the collection, use, disclosure and otherhandling of information as described in our Privacy Policies listed in Appendix A, and (3) agree tocomply with all rules, policies, and disclaimers posted on the Platform or about which you arenotified.
Our Platform is an online venue that facilitates Customers and Experts connecting forinformational and educational purposes. JustAnswer itself does not provide any information or education to Customers, and JustAnswer itself does not provide advice or any professionalservice to Customers.
Users of the Platform, not JustAnswer, provide content in Posts. “Posts" are all questions, answers, requests for information, responses, profiles, Expert signatures, qualifications, comments andposts on our Platform, including on the Expert Forum, and other places where Users communicatewith one another.
We do not represent, recommend or endorse Experts. Neither do Experts represent us. Expertsare independent contractors, not employees or agents of JustAnswer. Experts have sole discretionin selecting which Customer questions to answer and Experts are solely responsible for yourCustomer experience in respect of answers that they give or do not give.
We are not an agent for Customers. Our relationship with Customers is limited to our responsibilityto provide our Platform services in accordance with these Terms.
We are not involved in the conversations you may engage in with other Users. JustAnswer is notliable for (a) any acts or omissions by you or other Users, (b) content of Posts, or (c) an Expert'sfailure to complete a transaction.
You understand certain tools, such as chatbots, (“Tools”) may utilize or be powered by ArtificialIntelligence ("Al") language models, and data input into such Tools shall be subject to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other disclosures presented in connection with such Tools.

We use reasonable skill and care in providing our Platform and act with professional diligence. Weare not responsible for editing, modifying, filtering, screening, monitoring, or endorsing Posts andwe cannot guarantee that Posts or other communications between Customers and Experts areaccurate, but we may modify Posts or other communications for privacy purposes and at oureditorial discretion, including for clarity or length. However as soon as we become aware that aPost is unlawful, we will do everything we can to address this (e.g. by removing a Post, denying aUser's further access to the Platform and/or reporting to competent authorities).
EMERGENCY QUESTIONS AND CRISIS SITUATIONS (particularly regarding medical or mental healthissues) should not be directed to the Platform and should instead be directed immediately bytelephone or in-person to qualified professionals (e.g., in the EU, call 112; in the UK, call 999; inJapan, call 119). The Platform is not the appropriate venue to deal with such situations.
JustAnswer contracts with third-party service providers to perform credential verification forExperts before they are admitted to the Platform. The results of the verifications are only asaccurate as the information provided to and by the third-party verification service, as of the timeof the providing of information to and by the third-party verification services.

Noprofessional-client relationships shall be formed on the Platform. For example, Experts in theLegal category are only to provide general information about the law and are not to provide legaladvice nor propose a specific course of action for a Customer.
By answering questions, Experts are obligated not to form, and do not form, attorney-client ordoctor-patient relationships with Users of the Platform. The laws, regulations, other governingauthorities, standards, practices, and procedures that apply to your particular question may differdepending on your location and information typically discovered through in-person evaluations orvisits.

14. Duration and Termination of Agreement
Duration. The agreement between you and JustAnswer reflected by these Terms is effective when you access the Platform (for example to create an Account) and remains in effect until either you or JustAnswer terminates the agreement in accordance with these Terms.
Termination by Customers. Customers may terminate your service and account at your sole discretion and at any time by written notice via e-mail to [email protected] for the UK Website, [email protected] for the Japan Website, [email protected] for the Spain Website, or [email protected] for the Germany Website. Absent extenuating circumstances, terminations typically will be effective within seven (7) business days after our receipt of your termination notice, at which time your account will be closed and access to the Platform will be removed. Any fees accrued as of the effective date of termination will be payable according to the Terms. The procedure for Experts to terminate their accounts is set forth in the Expert Agreement.
Termination by JustAnswer . JustAnswer may restrict, suspend, or terminate your Customer account if we reasonably suspect you have breached these Terms or applicable law. We will tell you the reasons for doing so and you can appeal if you disagree with our decision. The procedure for termination by JustAnswer of Experts' accounts is set out in the Expert Agreement.
Survival . Sections 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 18, 20 and 22 of these Terms, and any other provisions that are necessary to effectuate those sections, shall survive termination.
By registering for the Platform, you consent to receive communications from us, which may include calls and text messages to the cellular telephone number you provide to us. For example, we may text you with transactional alerts about your account. You may also sign up to receive marketing or promotional calls and text messages. You may opt-out of receiving certain communications by following the unsubscribe options we provide to you. You acknowledge that opting out of receiving communications may impact your use of the Platform.
To the fullest extent allowed by local law, under no circumstances shall JustAnswer be liable to you or to any other person for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. As required by certain local jurisdictions, nothing in these Terms will limit our liability (i) when we were negligent and this led to death or personal injury; (ii) in case of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) in respect of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iv) if such liability can otherwise not lawfully be limited or excluded.
Our Customer Care Team is available to address any concerns you may have regarding the Platform. Our Customer Care Team can resolve most concerns quickly to our Customers' satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts through this process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations.
These Terms and our services will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the country where you live.
You may bring legal proceedings before the competent court of the country where you live or the competent court where JustAnswer is based, which is San Francisco, California. If we wish to enforce any rights against you, we will do so before the competent court of the country where you live.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, JustAnswer grants you a limited non-exclusive, non- transferable license to download and install a copy of JustAnswer mobile or other app on a device that you exclusively control and to run such copy of the app solely for your own personal use. JustAnswer reserves all rights in and to the app not expressly granted to you under these Terms. You will not run any version of the app on a jailbroken device.
If you have downloaded our app, you agree to promptly download and install any new version that we make available through the iTunes App Store or Google Play store, as applicable. Some new versions may contain updated Terms. Some new versions may contain security fixes and service improvements, whether or not we disclose that they do; accordingly, failure to promptly update your version of the App may in some cases expose you to increased security risks or Platform malfunctions.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and JustAnswer with respect to the Platform and supersede any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and JustAnswer concerning the same subject matter.
Non-Waiver and Severability. JustAnswer's failure to exercise or enforce any of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of JustAnswer's right to exercise or enforce the Terms as to the same or another instance. If any provision(s) of the Terms is held by a court or other competent authority to be unlawful, the rest of these Terms will continue to apply.
No Assignment. The Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferrable or sublicensable by you except with JustAnswer's prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of your rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
Section Titles. The section titles in the Terms are solely used for convenience only and have no legal or contractual significance.
Notice. You must send any notices to us related to your rights and obligations under these Terms, including but not limited to, any breaches (whether material or non-material) and other legal disputes ("Legal Notices”), via email along with sending a copy via (i) certified or registered mail (postage prepaid) or (ii) personal delivery to the following address: JustAnswer LLC, 440 N Barranca Ave #7508, Covina, CA 91723, or [email protected].

If you make use of our app on an Apple device, the following applies.
You acknowledge and agree that (i) these Terms are binding between you and JustAnswer only, and Apple is not a party hereto, and (ii) as between JustAnswer and Apple, it is JustAnswer that is responsible for the app and the content thereof. You must use the iOS app only on an Apple- branded product that runs iOS. Your use of the app must comply with the terms of use applicable to the Apple source from which you obtain it (including the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service). You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to furnish you with any maintenance and support Platform with respect to the app.
You acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of the app, including, but not limited to, (i) product warranty or liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; or (iv) claims that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
In the event of any failure of the iOS version of the app to conform to any applicable warranty that has not been effectively disclaimed by these Terms, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and, as between Apple and JustAnswer, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be JustAnswer's responsibility, but only to the extent provided by these Terms. Please read the entire Terms, as other sections of these Terms limit JustAnswer's liability in this regard.
Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
