Dispute Resolution
We encourage resolving disputes through direct communication. If you have a concern, please contact us at hello@groupecard.com. For legal disputes that cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, except for small claims court matters.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll post the updated Terms on this page and update the "last updated" date. If changes are significant, we'll notify users via email (if you have an account) or through the Service. Your continued use after changes become effective means you accept the new Terms.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
