  1. SERVICES CONNECT RETAILERS AND BRANDS. Company provides a marketplace that allows Users to offer, sell, resell and buy items (“Products”). As a marketplace, we do not own or sell the items listed on the Website (“Products”), so the actual contract for sale is directly between the individuals seeking to sell items (“Brands”) and individuals seeking to buy and resell items (“Retailers”) to its customers (“Customers”). While we may, in our discretion, help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, Company has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items offered on the Platform; the truth or accuracy of Users’ content or listings; the ability of Brands to sell Products; the ability of Retailers to pay for Products; or that a Retailer and Brand will actually complete a transaction or return a Product.


  2. THE PLATFORM CONNECTS RETAILERS AND BRANDS. The Platform provides a marketplace that allows Brands to offer to sell and sell, and Retailers to purchase, Products. You may not use the Platform to solicit, advertise for, or contact in any form, Users for employment or any other purpose not related to the Platform facilitated through the Website. You may not use the Platform to collect usernames and/or e-mail addresses of Users by electronic or other means without the express prior written consent of the

    Company. As a marketplace, we do not personally provide or deliver any of the Products, so the actual contract for the provision of any Product is directly between the Retailer and the Brand listing such Product.


  3. COMPANY ONLY PROVIDES A VENUE. While Company may provide pricing and guidance on our Platform, such information is solely informational. We do not take part in the interaction between Users. We do not have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any aspect whatsoever of any ratings provided by Users, items sold by Brands, or of the integrity, responsibility, or any actions of any Users. Company makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness or accuracy in public, private or offline interactions. Company cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Company does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of this information or any information provided through the Platform.


    When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don't know. NEITHER COMPANY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE SERVICES. COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE COMPANY PROPERTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW).

Company, its suppliers and service providers reserve all rights not granted in the Agreement. Any unauthorized use of any Company Property terminates the licenses/rights granted by Company pursuant to the Agreement.

      PLATFORM. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the following terms and conditions, Retailers may return Products within seven (7) days of receipt in the event such Products are received by Customer damaged, incorrect, or missing and Brands must accept such returns and issue refunds for the affected items. In order to initiate the returns process, Retailers must use the returns form located in your Account orders page and provide and submit the required information. If Company determines that the items qualify for a return, Brands will provide Retailer with a return shipping label, unless the Company or Buyer decides such item(s) do not need to be physically returned to qualify for a refund or the item(s) are missing (“Return Exception”). Other than in connection with a Return Exception, all items must be returned using the return shipping label to the location identified therein in order to be eligible for a refund. Items must be returned in their original condition and packaging, with any labels, tags or marketing materials of the Brand. If Company determines that a refund is appropriate (e.g. the items from an initial purchase are in their original condition or the items were received damaged upon receipt or were missing or incorrect), Company will issue Retailer a refund for the purchase price of the Product (including shipping and taxes paid). The applicable Brand will be responsible for promptly paying any refunded amounts, either to Company or Retailer directly. Company shall have the right to off-set any refunded amounts from future payments by Company to Brand.


  9. Terms Specific to Brands (Sellers). The following terms apply to Brands:


    1. When listing an item, you agree to comply with our rules for listing and that:

      1. You are responsible for the content of the Product Listing and agree to provide complete and accurate data and information about Products (such as listing description, price, and other characteristics) to be listed on the Platform and Retailer’s websites in accordance with this Agreement. You are responsible for keeping all Product Listings up-to-date, accurate and complete at all times and ensure proper inventory is available to fulfill orders and timely deliver all Products (no shipment of Products should exceed your stated lead time).


      2. You are solely responsible for the fulfillment and shipping of any Product sold via the Platform to the contact and address provided by a Retailer; provided the address is within the United States.


      3. If Products are missing, incorrect or damaged in your shipment, the Retailer or Company will notify you and you will not receive payment for missing or damaged items, or if you have already received payment, you must immediately refund Company or Retailer (as instructed) any amount paid for such item, including shipping and taxes. Damaged items may be returned to Brand upon request. Company reserves the right to process a chargeback and/or request a refund from Brand if: (i) Brand cancels a Product order; (ii) Brand fails to ship a Product within its stated lead time; or (iii) Brand ships the wrong Product to a Retailer or Customer.


      4. You shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the offer to sell, sale, and shipping of Products. No shipments of Products by Brands may contain hazardous materials.


      5. Company reserves the right to remove any Product Listing and Product (in whole or part) from the Platform for any reason. Company has the right, but not the obligation, to include Products and Product Listing on the Platform and to list, market or promote Products through the Services.


      6. You shall make available and sell Products to Retailers at the prices found in the Product Listing and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. Such price shall include all fees, other than applicable sales tax and delivery fees, which shall be separately communicated by you to Retailers.


      7. You shall properly label, pack, mark, and otherwise prepare the Products for shipment in a manner acceptable to carriers and in accordance with good commercial practice and all regulations to ensure the safe arrival of Products to Retailers/Customers.

    2. License to Your Marks. During the Term, you grant to a non-exclusive, nontransferable license to use and display the name, logo and other identifiers of your company and/or Products (“Brand Marks”) (a) to Company, solely for the purposes of performance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the promotion of such Products and the Services and (b) to Retailers to use in connection with Retailer’s resale of Products on its websites. Company agrees that your Brand Marks and the goodwill associated with them are and will remain your sole property.


  10. Terms Specific to Retailers (Buyers). The following terms apply to Retailers:


    1. When buying an item on the Platform, you agree:

      1. You are responsible for reading the full Product Listing before making a commitment to buy.


      2. DESCRIPTIONS, IMAGES, REFERENCES, FEATURES, CONTENT, SPECIFICATIONS, PRODUCTS, PRICES, AND AVAILABILITY OF ANY PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. THE INCLUSION OF ANY PRODUCTS ON THE SERVICES AT A PARTICULAR TIME DOES NOT IMPLY OR WARRANT THAT THESE PRODUCTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME.


      3. You enter into a legally binding contract with the Brand to purchase a Product when you commit to buy a Product. You must pay Brand the price found on the Product Listing, plus applicable tax and delivery charges, regardless of the price you may charge a Customer and whether or not such Customer has remitted payment to you. You are solely responsible for collecting all payments for Products from Customers.


      4. You must have a valid reseller ID and associate certificate if you conduct business in a state that collects sales tax. You agree to provide such information to Company and the Brand upon request for tax compliance purposes. Your resale of any Products shall comply in all respects to applicable law, rules and regulations.


      5. All items you purchase via the Platform may only be resold to end customers and consumers of the items, and not for further resale and distribution or for personal use by you. You will not sell any Products under a private label and all Product listings you provide must be consistent with the Product Listing on the Platform and identify the Brand as the source, unless agreed otherwise by the Brand.


      6. Company or Brands may refuse to (i) allow you to make any Product available to your Customers and/or use the Product Listing; and (ii) sell you any Product for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, Company and Brands reserve the right to deny any order for any reason, including if: (i) an error in pricing and/or other information about the Product is discovered or Brand receives insufficient or erroneous billing, payment, and/or shipping information, (ii) a party suspects an order has been placed using stolen payment card information or otherwise appears to be connected to fraud, or (iii) the ordered Product is unavailable due to discontinuance or otherwise. Company and/or Brand may also refuse any order that is connected with a previous payment dispute. Each part of any order that you submit to Brands via the Platform constitutes an offer to purchase. If you do not receive a message from the Brand or Company confirming receipt of your order, please contact our Customer Service department at before re-entering your order. Company or Brands confirmation of receipt of your order does not constitute Brand’s acceptance of your order. Brand is only deemed to have accepted your order once the Product(s) you ordered have been shipped.


      7. Brands shall be responsible for arranging shipping and delivery of ordered Products to the Customer and address you provide via the Platform; provided such address is within the United States and you pay for all applicable shipping charges.


      8. The listed price of Products you may purchase does not include any taxes or delivery charges. Taxes and delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.


    2. License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company grants Retailers a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to

      use certain Brands’ Product Listings and Brand Marks (as approved by Company and/or Brands on an individual basis) solely on its website(s) in connection with the resale of such Products to its Customers located within the United States. You agree that the Brand Marks and the goodwill associated with them are and will remain the Brands’ sole property.


  11. NO SOLICITATION. The Platform may not be used to solicit for any other business, website or services. You may not solicit, advertise for, or contact in any form Users for employment, contracting, or any other purpose not related to the Services facilitated through the Company Properties. You may not use the Platform to collect usernames and/or email addresses of Users by electronic or other means without the express prior written consent of Company.


  12. INVESTIGATIONS. Company may, but is not obligated to, monitor or review Company Properties and Content at any time. Without limiting the foregoing, Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any of Your Content for any reason (or no reason), including if such Content violates the Agreement or any applicable law. Although Company does not generally monitor user activity occurring in connection with Company Properties or Content, if Company becomes aware of any possible violations by you of any provision of the Agreement, Company reserves the right to investigate such violations, and Company may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your license to use Company Properties, or change, alter or remove Your Content, in whole or in part, without prior notice to you.


  13. INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.


    1. User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Registered Users and any other parties with whom you interact; provided, however, that Company reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. You agree that Company will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions.


    2. Content Provided by Other Users. Company Properties may contain User Content provided by other Registered Users. Company is not responsible for and does not control User Content (including without limitation the Product Listings). Company has no obligation to review or monitor, and does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to, User Content, including without limitation any Products or Brands. You use all User Content and interact with other Registered Users at your own risk.


    3. Subverting the Platform. The value of the Platform rests in its thriving marketplace for Retailers and Brands. It is a material breach of this Agreement to arrange for the sale of listed items from, or the payment of fees to, Brands outside the context of the Platform for the purposes of circumventing the obligation to pay the Company’s fee for items purchased through the Platform.


  14. FEES AND PAYMENT POLICY.


    1. Company Commission. The commission that the Company charges for using the Platform is listed in our help center at https://helloabound.kustomer.help/ (“Commission”). We may change Commission amounts from time to time by posting the changes in the help center and via email. The new Commissions will apply to purchases on the Platform after the changes are posted to the Platform.


    2. Payment of Fees. Retailers contract directly with Brands for the purchase of items on the Platform. The Company is not a party to any such sales. The Company facilitates these sales through hosting the Platform and by facilitating the exchange of money as described below. You agree to pay

      Company through our payment processor (currently Stripe) and billing agents all charges at the prices then in effect for any purchases in accordance with the applicable payment terms presented to you at the time of purchase. If no such payment terms are presented, all payments will be processed at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our payment processor to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received. All payments must be made through the Platform. The Commissions related to each purchase on the Platform is deducted from the purchase price paid by the Retailer, with the remainder remitted to the Brand. You understand and agree that the Company itself does not process the transmission of funds and thus it is not a separate and discrete service that the Company provides in addition to the Platform.


    3. Third Party Services.


      1. Shopify. The Company uses Shopify to assist in facilitating the sales transactions (e.g., product catalog sharing, product ordering, product delivery, and related services). Your use of the services provided by Shopify is subject to your agreement with Shopify and Shopify’s other policies, including Shopify’s privacy policy, as may be modified by Shopify from time to time (collectively, the “Shopify Agreement”).

You represent and warrant that you have all rights required to, and, if you are a Retailer, you have a privacy policy in place that permits you to, grant the foregoing authorization. If the Shopify Agreement is terminated by Shopify, you may not be able to use the Platform, or you may have your Account suspended or terminated.


      2. Stripe. Company may process payments through its third-party payment processor (currently Stripe). All bank and credit card information is sent directly to and stored with the third-party payment processor using their applicable security protocols.

By making a purchase on the Platform, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/terms) and hereby consent and authorize Company and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.

If any Services, or payments for

      any Services, under the Agreement are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to the Company, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify the Company for any liability or expense the Company may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon the Company’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.


  15. RELEASE. The Company expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between Users of its Platform. The Platform is only a venue for connecting Retailers with Brands. Because the Company is not a party to the actual contracts between Retailers and Brands, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, investors, agents, partners and licensors, but excluding any Users (collectively, the “Company Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.


    If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”


    The foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial practice by a Company Party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Platform provided hereunder.


  16. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify and hold Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “Company Party” and collectively, the “Company Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your Products; (c) your use of, or inability to use, any Company Property; (d) your violation of the Agreement; (e) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Users; or (f) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Company reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Company in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Company Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Website or any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement and/or your access to Company Properties.

  22. PLATFORM IS FOR US-BASED USERS ONLY.

These references do not imply that Company intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. Company Properties are controlled and offered by Company from its facilities in the United States of America. Company makes no representations that Company Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use Company Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.


  23. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.


    1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Company agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Service or this Agreement and prior versions of this Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between you and us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) you and Company may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (ii) you or Company may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of this Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.


    2. Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Company. If that occurs, Company is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable

      resolution. You and Company agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and Company therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.


      The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Company that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to support@helloabound.com or regular mail to our offices located at121 West 36th Street, Suite 410, New York, NY 10018. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your Account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.


      The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.


    3. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and

      Company are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 23.1 (Applicability of Arbitration Agreement). There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.


    4. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 23.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

      Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 23.9 (Batch Arbitration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Company agree that that

      particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This section does not prevent you or Company from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.


    5. Rules and Forum. This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and Company agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.


      A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable Account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.


      If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.


      Unless you and Company otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Section 23.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.


      You and Company agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

    6. Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 23.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.


    7. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to Section 23.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief), including any claim that all or part of Section 23.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief) is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such Section 23.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non- Individualized Relief) has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in Section 23.9 (Batch Arbitration), all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in Section 23.9 (Batch Arbitration). The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.


    8. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Company need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.


    9. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Company agree that in the event that there are one-hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative

      fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).


      All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Company.


      You and Company agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.


      This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.


    10. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: 121 West 36th Street, Suite 410, New York, NY 10018 within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.


    11. Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in Section 23.4 (Waiver of Class or Other Non- Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Company as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred.
