I’ve never been screwed over. I have used the correct documents and I follow every rule. I don’t let users break rules I demand they get removed from the site and I copy screen shot and report every jackass that begs for incest and race play and other disgusting shit . CB is Magnificent.
You know, given what is stated in the agreement, you can be blocked even if there is no reason for it.
N Nobody knows when and how this might happen.
The question is why this clause was made (usually such a clause is indicated to avoid claims while your situation is being checked). But Chaturbate decided to interpret it in its own way, since the form of writing does not specify the specifics. They do this because most users don't know how to read contracts.
At the beginning of the agreement there is a clause about the minimum rules of the site, but this information is not true. Since the rules are written clearly on the one hand (mostly what is illegal), but Chaturbate interprets it in its own way (as it benefits them)...
Someone on this forum wrote that "if they blocked you, you can't do anything".(this is not the exact phrase, but the meaning is the same), I partially agree with this
Indeed, the terms are written in such a way that most users will not be able to protect their rights if they want to open a dispute.
Registration of a claim in arbitration is usually paid and can reach more than 300-400 dollars (depending on many factors). Even if you were right and win the dispute, chaturbate dines to compensate claims up to $1,000, but tell me the actual number of people who are able to pay this fee before they get a refund? In addition, you need to get legal advice and correctly draft the claim (this is relatively difficult), so you will need to pay a lawyer for this. (This will not be refunded.)
Next, if you want to file a class action lawsuit to split the costs, you won't be allowed to do so! As stated in the agreement, "consent of ALL parties" is required, this means that Chaturbate must give consent to this!
What are the chances that you will get any response from them at all, let alone consent? Given the tendency to ignore?
Also, after reporting a block, did anyone receive a letter saying "if you don't agree with our decision, you can resolve this through arbitration"? I didn't receive it! In addition, public documents are closed to you (user agreement), and you cannot even get this information yourself! Also, any access to possible evidence is also closed. (What can justify you) Chat correspondence, your documents, etc.
That is, all the conditions have been created to limit your right to justice.
I will answer the possible question right away.
Can you file lawsuits in California or use regulatory filings (it's free in most cases) if you're not a US resident? Yes, you can! In addition, this is specified in the contract in the clause on the choice of law! But to understand this meaning, you need to consult a lawyer.
Simply put, it says that our company is located in California and we operate under the laws of this state. What this means for you is that if you have a problem with this company, at the time of its resolution you are using the rights and laws of California (not your country)!
Since there may be some terminology used here, I must warn you that I am using an automatic translator for this text. So if native speakers notice any discrepancies between my thoughts and the words used, please point them out.
