4. AI Risk Warranty Policies
If you purchase AI risk warranty through Oak Cover, your warranty protection is governed by the terms and conditions of your warranty policy, which will be provided to you upon policy issuance. Oak Cover acts as a warranty technology platform and works with warranty providers to provide protection.
Important points regarding warranty policies:
- Your rights and obligations are defined in your warranty policy documents
- Protection terms, limits, deductibles, and exclusions are specified in your policy
- You must provide accurate and complete information during the application process
- Misrepresentation or failure to disclose material information may result in policy cancellation or claim denial
- Warranty fee payments are required as specified in your policy
- Claims must be reported promptly and in accordance with your policy terms
Oak Cover facilitates the connection between you and our partner warranty providers. We are not a warranty provider ourselves, and the warranty provider is ultimately responsible for policy issuance, claims handling, and coverage decisions.
5. Risk Management Platform and Demo Services
Our risk management platform and demo tools are provided for informational and risk assessment purposes. By using these services, you acknowledge that:
- Risk scores, recommendations, and analytics are estimates based on the information you provide

- You should review all policy terms carefully before purchasing warranty protection
- Our models and methodologies may be updated over time
- Demo data and mock scenarios are for illustrative purposes only

12. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
YOU AND OAK COVER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND OAK COVER AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, which can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our website prior to the effective date of the changes.
