The Service integrates with third-party calendar providers to read events and create blocking entries according to your configured preferences.

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, you agree to first contact us at support@busyblock.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most disputes can be resolved through this informal process.

11.2 Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.

The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.
