Thanks for clarifying everything theymos. As I don't want to do anything with my BCC at all, good to know that I can claim it whenever I wanted.
So in-case their replay protection doesn't work.
We should just send all our BTC to ourselves? So send entire balance from the same BTC address to the same BTC address? Does the Bitcoin network allow that?
If you are using electrum just send it to another wallet where you have new private keys. And use the old wallet where you've got those bitcoins for claiming BCC just for protection.
If you want to send BCH then we need an entire new wallet?
Exactly.
About Electrum Cash
-------------------
The name "Electrum" has been visible on bitcoincash.org and
electrumcash.org, with a modified version of our logo. The use of our
name and logo constitutes a trademark infringement.
We have never enforced our trademark against altcoin versions of
Electrum (such as Litecoin, etc), because we consider that users of
these altcoins are well aware of the distinction between Bitcoin and
their coin, and that they cannot be harmed by that confusion. However,
we do not agree with the use of the Electrum name in the context of a
Bitcoin fork, because it suggests that we endorse that fork, and that
we also endorse that wallet.
We reserve ourselves the right to use the name Electrum for a Bitcoin
Cash wallet, should we decide to publish one in the future.

But if you look at their twitter they are saying it is not just that easy.
Just look at some tweets there:

Do not use Electrum and "Electron Cash" on the same machine. Empty your BTC wallet before you enter your seed/privkey in "Electrum Cash"
