We reserve the right to decline to purchase any Future Receivables (defined in Section 2.2) you offer to sell us or to revoke our acceptance of any such offer. Should the Advance be adjusted to any amount other than zero (0), we will endeavor to give you notice of the adjustment and the opportunity to accept or reject it. If you receive an adjusted Advance before you accept or reject it and you use some of it or do not return it to us within three (3) business days, you will be deemed to have accepted the adjusted Advance. If you return the adjusted Advance within three (3) business days, this Agreement is terminated, except for the provisions that survive termination as provided in Section 9.6.

 

1.3 Information and Materials Necessary for Review

 

During the review described in Section 1.1, we may request that you provide us with copies of, or access to, additional documents, materials and information to confirm the information you initially provided. If you are not willing to provide the requested information, or if the information is in our view insufficient or unsatisfactory, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement (except for the provisions that survive termination as provided in Section 9.6).

 

2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF FUTURE RECEIVABLES

 

2.1.Purchase and Sale Transaction

 

You agree to sell to us, and we agree to purchase from you, all of your right, title, and interest in and to Future Receivables as provided in this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS IS A PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTION, NOT A LOAN.

 

2.2. Definition of Future Receivables

 

“Future Receivables” include all future payments made by cash, check, ACH, direct or pre-authorized debit, wire transfer, credit card, debit card, charge card or other form of payment related to your business, including for goods, services or facilities provided by you.

 

2.3. Purchase Price; Advance; and Specified Amount

 

We will pay you the Purchase Price minus Future Receivables that we purchased from you under the Existing Terminating Revenue Share Agreement and that remain undelivered as of the Effective Date in the amount of $445304.43 (“Outstanding Amount”) for all of your right, title and interest in or to the Specified Amount of Future Receivables. The amount we pay you is referred to as the “Advance” (the Advance equals the Purchase Price minus the Outstanding Amount). If, after the Effective Date but before we fund the Advance under this Agreement, you make payments on Future Receivables that we purchased from you under the Existing Terminating Revenue Share Agreement and that remained undelivered as of the Effective Date, those payments will be deemed a partial payment of the Specified Amount under this Agreement.

 

 

2.4. Delivery of Receivables

 

Upon our payment of the Advance or otherwise upon our initially making the amount of the Advance available for your use with an Approved Card (as defined below) and/or Invoice Payment Dashboard (defined below), (a) you sell, assign, and transfer to us, and we purchase from you, all of your right, title, and interest in or to the Specified Amount of Future Receivables, and you will deliver each business day to us the Specified Percentage of Future Receivables until we have received the Specified Amount and any other amounts owed to us in accordance with this Agreement and (b) you acknowledge that good, sufficient and valuable consideration has been received.

 

You agree that all Future Receivables generated by your business will be deposited in the bank account we have on file (“Bank Account”) to which the irrevocable ACH authorization agreement or direct or pre-authorized debit agreement, as applicable (any such agreement, the “Authorization Agreement”), relates. You agree to instruct your payment processor to deposit all payments it processes for you into the Bank Account. You agree not to change your Bank Account or payment processor without our advance written consent. You will provide us with read-only access codes to your Bank Account (including via Plaid or similar services) and agree not to change them without our advance written consent. We may access your Bank Account, including to assess the amount of Future Receivables you have generated and to debit your Bank Account. You will provide us any information we request to conduct this assessment. You agree to provide us with an irrevocable Authorization Agreement. You understand that we would not make the Advance without you providing the irrevocable Authorization Agreement.

 

You agree to deliver the Specified Amount (a) if available, by having it delivered to us directly and (b) by authorizing us to debit the Specified Percentage of Future Receivables and any other amounts you owe us each business day from your Bank Account by ACH, direct or pre-authorized debit, electronic check or other method until the full Specified Amount has been delivered. You understand that it is your responsibility to ensure that the Specified Percentage of Future Receivables and any other amounts you owe us are always available in your Bank Account. You are solely responsible for any fees or charges incurred from overdrafts or rejected transactions. If a transaction is rejected we may debit the Bank Account again until the transaction is completed.

 

If your generation of Future Receivables changes or is expected to change significantly, you may request a change in the Specified Percentage of Future Receivables on a go-forward basis. You will provide us any information and documentation we ask for to support your request, including your bank statements. We may approve or deny your request in our sole discretion. We will notify you if changes will be made, and any changes will be deemed the new Specified Percentage of Future Receivables until a subsequent change by us.

 

You agree to diligently engage in continuous activity that generates Future Receivables to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.4, starting no later than five (5) business days from the date that you receive the Advance. If you generate less Future Receivables than we anticipated or projected because your business has slowed down, or if the full Specified Amount is not delivered because your business ceases operations in the ordinary course of business, and if you have not in any way otherwise breached this Agreement, you will deliver less than the Specified Amount and not be in breach of this Agreement.

 

 

It is understood that the Advance will be made available from our designated bank account (“Designated Account”). You may only withdraw the proceeds of the Advance from the Designated Account by (a) using a payment card that we have authorized (the “Approved Card”) and/or (b) using our invoice payment dashboard (such dashboard or any other form of transmittal acceptable to us in our discretion, the “Invoice Payment Dashboard”). Neither the Approved Card nor the use of the Invoice Payment Dashboard may be redeemed in cash, including for ATM cash withdrawals. You agree that the proceeds of the Advance will be used solely for, and the Approved Card and the Invoice Payment Dashboard may only permit spending for, the purposes described in Section 5.7 below. You acknowledge and agree that the Designated Account, the Approved Card and the Invoice Payment Dashboard are subject to rules and restrictions imposed by us, including with respect to withdrawal and spending rights. For your convenience, and without prejudicing any of our rights to receive the Specified Percentage of Future Receivables and the Specified Amount described herein, you may choose not to spend the entire amount of the Advance on a single day.

 

You may from time to time direct us to pay in whole or in part the proceeds of the Advance hereunder to the counterparties (including amount, account numbers etc.) you designate on the Invoice Payment Dashboard (such direction, the “Directed Payment Instruction”). You assume sole responsibility for the Directed Payment Instruction and such instructions may be relied upon by us, whether or not the error could be detected by us. You do not have the right to cancel or amend the Directed Payment Instruction once given to us. We are facilitating the payment as your agent and may, in our sole discretion, reject any Directed Payment Instruction, including those which do not comply with the requirements of this Agreement, internal policies, regulation or law. You are solely responsible for timely payments. You hereby acknowledge that the use of Directed Payment Instructions is also subject to terms set forth in the Invoice Payment Dashboard Services Agreement executed between you and us on the date hereof (the “IPDSA”).

 

Provided that no Event of Default has ever occurred and that you are in compliance with this Agreement, the “Percentage Discount” of the proceeds of the Advance that you have directly spent (provided such amounts are thereafter settled and not refunded) will be credited to the Specified Amount required to be delivered to us (the “Discount Credit”). Such calculation will be determined by us, and such determination will be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Discount Credit that is applied under this Agreement or was applied under any Existing Terminating Revenue Share Agreement with respect to a transaction that did not settle or was otherwise refunded will (without duplication) be deducted from the Discount Credit applied hereunder.

TO THE EXTENT THIS PROVISION ALLOWS EITHER PARTY TO PROCEED WITH A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEY’S FEES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PURSUING THE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT).

 

9.11. Arbitration

 

If either party requests to arbitrate any Claim (defined below) before an answer or dispositive motion is filed in a lawsuit that arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the other party agrees to arbitrate such Claim. The party making the request must commence an arbitration proceeding within thirty (30) days of its request with either the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration proceeding will be governed by the rules and procedures for commercial disputes of the arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred. Streamlined arbitration rules and procedures will be used if available. If for any reason the selected arbitration organization cannot, will not, or ceases to, serve as an arbitration administrator, you or we may substitute the other organization identified in this paragraph or another widely recognized arbitration organization that uses similar rules or procedures and is mutually acceptable to both parties. If both parties cannot agree on an arbitration organization, then either party may ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a qualified arbitration organization.

 

For purposes of this arbitration provision, “Claim” means any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) past, present or future. The term “Claim” is to be given the broadest possible meaning and includes (by way of example and without limitation) any Claim arising from or relating to (a) your offer for sale and our acceptance for purchase of Future Receivables; (b) any transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement; (c) provisions of, or change of, or addition of, provisions to this Agreement; (d) collection of your obligations arising from this Agreement; (e) advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements relating to this Agreement or any transactions between you and us pursuant to this Agreement, including any Claim regarding information obtained by us from, or reported by us to, credit reporting agencies or others; (f) disputes between you and us or our parent companies, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, contractors, employees, officers, directors or representatives arising from any transaction between you and us pursuant to this Agreement; (g) disputes regarding the validity, enforceability or scope of this arbitration provision or this Agreement; or (h) this Agreement.

 

YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE BY SENDING NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT-OUT, ALONG WITH YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL ADDRESS AND MAILING ADDRESS, TO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ OR CLEARBANC ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ #▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇.

 

 

IF ARBITRATION IS COMMENCED, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO (i) HAVE A COURT OR JURY DECIDE THE CLAIM BEING ARBITRATED, (ii) ENGAGE IN PRE-ARBITRATION DISCOVERY (THAT IS, THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM THE OTHER PARTY) TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT YOU OR WE COULD IN COURT, (iii) PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN A CLASS ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, RELATING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION OR (iv) JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OTHER THAN YOUR OWN OR OUR OWN. OTHER RIGHTS AVAILABLE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

 

Except as set forth below, the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. Only a court may decide the validity of items (iii) and (iv) in the preceding paragraph. If a court finally holds that items (iii) or (iv) are limited, invalid or unenforceable, then this entire arbitration provision will be null and void. You or we can appeal any such holding. If a court holds that any other part of this arbitration provision (other than items (iii) and (iv)) are invalid, then the remaining parts of this arbitration provision will remain in force. An arbitrator will decide all other issues pertaining to arbitrability, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this arbitration provision. The decision of an arbitrator is as enforceable as any court order and may be subject to very limited review by a court. An arbitrator may decide a Claim upon the submission of documents alone. A party may request a telephonic hearing if permitted by applicable rules. The exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Claim between the parties is permitted and encouraged. Either party may submit relevant information, documents or exhibits to the arbitrator for consideration in deciding a Claim. Unless both you and we otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and we each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

 

For a copy of relevant rules and procedure, to file a Claim or for other information about JAMS and AAA, write them, visit their website or call them at: (A) for JAMS, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, or 1-800-352-5267; or (B) for AAA, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇, or

▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.

 

If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing and the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the rules of the selected arbitration organization.

 

 

If either party fails to submit to arbitration following a proper demand to do so, that party will bear the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the party compelling arbitration. Any physical arbitration hearing that you attend will be held in the federal judicial district for the district in which you reside. The party initiating the arbitration will pay the filing fee. You may seek a waiver of the initial filing fee or any other fees incurred in arbitration. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CANNOT PAY OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THE FILING FEE OR OTHER FEES REQUIRED TO INITIATE ARBITRATION, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, WE RECOMMEND YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE.

 

Except in the case of an Event of Default provided for in Section 6 (in which case the terms in Section 7 will apply) or the situation in which either party fails to submit to arbitration following a proper demand to do so, each party will pay for its respective attorney’s, experts’ and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. A party may recover any or all expenses from the other party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines. Allocation of fees and costs relating to appeals in arbitration will be handled in the same manner. For an explanation and schedule of the fees that apply to an arbitration proceeding, please contact the organizations at the addresses above. The appropriate fee schedule in effect from time to time is incorporated by reference into this arbitration provision. The cost of arbitration may be higher or lower than the cost of bringing a Claim in court, depending upon the nature of the Claim and how the arbitration proceeds. Having more than one Claim and holding face-to-face hearings can increase the cost of arbitration. Again, neither you nor we will be permitted to arbitrate claims other than an individual basis. An arbitration proceeding can decide only your or our Claims. You cannot join other parties (or consolidate Claims).

 

This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., as amended, notwithstanding any other governing law provision in this Agreement. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered and enforced, including by garnishment, attachment, foreclosure or other post-judgment remedies, in any court having jurisdiction.

The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, in which case any party can appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the selected arbitration administrator. The panel will reconsider de novo (that is, without deference to the ruling of the original arbitration) any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party.

 

This arbitration provision will continue to govern any Claim that may arise without regard to any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. If any portion of this arbitration provision (other than the provisions prohibiting class-wide arbitration, joinder or consolidation) is deemed invalid or unenforceable under the FAA, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision. If a conflict or inconsistency arises between the rules and procedures of the selected arbitration administrator and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision will control.

 

 

9.12. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; and No Fiduciary Relationship

 

IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, LIQUIDATED, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, TEMPORARY INTERRUPTIONS IN SERVICES (INCLUDING IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE A TRANSACTION), LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION, LATE PENALTIES, LATE PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES, CANCELLATION OF THIRD PARTY CONTRACTS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), OR THE COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED SERVICE WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO $500 (FIVE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF NO FEES HAVE BEEN PAID TO US IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW, AND WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO DAMAGES OF ANY KIND FROM US, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN SUCH STATES LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE APPROVED CARD AND INVOICE PAYMENT DASHBOARD WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ENTIRELY ERROR FREE.

 

You will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless, including our officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates and employees, from and against all claims, actions, damages, obligations, costs, demands and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, in whole or in part arising out of or attributable to any Event of Default by you or your violation of any third party right. We will provide notice to you of any such claim, suit or demand. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of such matter.

 

We do not have any fiduciary or other special relationship to you or any of your stockholders or affiliates. We have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in your favor or any of your stockholders or affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that you have consulted your own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent you deem appropriate and that you are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to this transaction and the process leading thereto. You agree that you will not claim that we have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to you.

 

 

9.13. Electronic Transactions; Consent to Contact by Electronic and Other Means

 

You agree to transact business by electronic means. You agree that we may contact you as provided in this paragraph. We may contact you for any lawful reason, including for the collection of outstanding amounts under this Agreement and for the offering of products or services in compliance with our Privacy Policy in effect from time to time. No such contact will be deemed unsolicited. We may (a) contact you at any address (including electronic mail) or telephone number (including wireless cellular telephone or ported landline telephone number) as you may provide to us from time to time, even if you asked to have your number added to any state or federal do-not-call registry; (b) use any means of communication, including postal mail, electronic mail, telephone, or other technology, to reach you; (c) use automatic dialing and announcing devices which may play recorded messages; and (d) send text messages to your telephone.
