Our Service processes these scans to create a digital version and a corresponding audiobook, which can then be played back for the child within the application.

In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you for all claims related to the Service exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or the total amount you paid to us, if any, in the 12 months preceding the claim.
8. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
Arbitration Procedures: The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. To make the process convenient, any required arbitration hearing may be conducted via telephone, or video conference, or held in Santa Clara County, California.
Class Action Waiver: You and the Company agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.

You agree not to settle any such matter without our prior written consent. Your indemnification obligations under this section will survive any termination of your account or of the Service.
