Terms of Service

October 7, 2024

Welcome to the JAMS website located at www.JAMSADR.com (referred to herein as the “Site”) (JAMS refers to the Site and the services provided through the Site, collectively, as the “Online Services”). These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) set forth an agreement between You and JAMS (“JAMS”) governing Your use of the Online Services. “You,” “Your” or “User” refers to you as an individual who browses the Site or uses the Online Services, and if you are using the Online Services as an employee of or otherwise on behalf of an organization or entity, the terms also refer to and bind your organization or entity.

By using any of the Online Services, creating a User account or submitting information on a case to a JAMS resolution center, you signify your acceptance of these Terms of Service to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may only use the Online Services, open an account and/or submit information about a case to JAMS if you are at least 18 years old. Please do not attempt to use any of the Online Services if you are younger than 18.

JAMS has the right to modify or update these Terms of Service at any time without providing notice. Any additional or different terms in these Terms of Service shall be effective upon being posted on the Site. Your continued use of any of the Online Services following the posting of updated Terms of Service constitutes your acceptance of those additional or different terms.

JAMS reserves the right to add, change, modify, suspend or discontinue all or any of the Online Services, in its sole discretion, at any time. The Online Service most central to use of JAMS for alternative dispute resolution (ADR) case management is JAMS Access, which facilitates case management via online document management and multi-party communication, and is accessed from the Site via the JAMS Access portal, as described below. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable Online Service, the use of any new Online Services, including the availability of new services or products through the Site, shall be subject to these Terms of Service. In addition, JAMS also may impose limits on any of the Online Services or restrict Your access to the Site or portions thereof in its sole discretion without notice or liability. JAMS reserves the right to refuse to provide You with access to any of the Online Services or to refuse to allow You to create a User account for any reason.

JAMS Access

JAMS Access, which you reach via the JAMS Access portal on the Site, is located athttps://access.jamsadr.com and is a state-of-the-art Online Service that facilitates virtually all case management aspects of Your alternative dispute resolution/ADR (e.g., arbitration/mediation) matter. Once You log into the account You have created on the referenced portal, upload and download case documents and materials, and depending on the type of ADR and the nature of Your communication, You can communicate with Your side of the case only, or with the opposing party only or with all parties (including the Neutral) via the online messaging function (the case manager is privy to all communications), view Your account invoices and statements (while Neutrals can input and view their timesheets but not party invoices) and initiate payment (which is actually handled off JAMS’s Site directly with our payment processor for purposes of security and efficiency. Users of JAMS Access begin with an overview home page, giving them navigation options to various JAMS Access channels such as recently viewed cases, messages, uploaded documents related to their case, invoices and account issues, and the case calendar with upcoming dates of which they may need to be aware, which is refreshed every 30 minutes. The User can change his/her password in account settings, indicate how often he/she wants email notifications, and express informational preferences/interests that will tailor what other information JAMS will provide to them about JAMS and areas of interest to the User. JAMS Access has additional Terms to which You are subject when You use it (often as a case participant), and in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms of Service and the JAMS Access Additional Terms of Service, the latter shall prevail with respect to use of JAMS Access.

JAMS AI Chatbot Special Terms

JAMS has begun to make available to Users of the JAMS Website (Site) JAMS’s Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) Chatbot (the “JAMS AI Chatbot” or simply “Chatbot”) specifically so that Users, and JAMS’s clients and prospective clients can search for Neutrals more quickly and efficiently, or search for certain attributes or information about Neutrals.

However, JAMS acknowledges that when You use JAMS Access as a party or representing a party to an ADR case or proceeding, You may believe that You need to make a submission of Case Information that might violate one or more of the restrictions set forth. JAMS recommends that if You find Yourself in such a situation, You discuss Your concern with the Neutral handling Your case prior to making such submission, and follow his or her guidance, primarily to avoid a claim of violation by an adverse party to your case. JAMS would most likely handle any claim by an offended party relating to Your submission of Case Information in the same manner, by bringing it to the attention of the Neutral handling Your case.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that JAMS may access, preserve and disclose account information and/or Registration Information or Case Information that You provide if JAMS is required to do so by law or if it believes in good faith that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (A) comply with legal process, (B) enforce these Terms of Service, (C) respond to claims that any Registration Information or Case Information violates the rights of any third parties, (D) respond to Your requests for customer service, or (E) protect the rights, property or personal safety of JAMS, its employees, partners, agents or members of the public.
