Your use of Next Chat is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand our practices regarding the collection and use of your information.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including violation of these Terms. You may also delete your account at any time through the Settings page.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership provisions, disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from the use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (or $0 if you have not paid anything).
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last updated" date when changes are made. Your continued use of Next Chat after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Service.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through good faith negotiation, and if unsuccessful, through binding arbitration or the courts of the applicable jurisdiction.
