You agree to pay all      fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and      billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and      payable.  You must provide Wallet      Guard with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer      accepted by us) (“Payment      Provider”), as a condition to signing up for a premium version of the      Software for which we charge.  Your      Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit      card, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to      determine your rights and liabilities.       By providing Wallet Guard with your credit card number and      associated payment information, you agree that Wallet Guard is authorized      to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and      payable to Wallet Guard hereunder and that no additional notice or      consent is required.

  3. As a      user of the Services, you will be responsible for payment of the      applicable fee for any premium version of the Software (the “Service Subscription Fee”) at      the time you purchase such premium version (each, a “Service Commencement Date”).       Except as set forth in the Agreement, all fees for the Services      are non-refundable.  
  4.  
  5. Your      subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance      with the Agreement.  After your initial subscription period,      and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription      will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such      period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an      additional equivalent period, at Wallet Guard’s then-current price for      such subscription.  You agree that      your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you      cancel your subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal      Commencement Date (or in the event that you receive a notice from Wallet      Guard that your subscription will be automatically renewed, you will have      thirty days from the date of the Wallet Guard notice), by logging into      and going to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page of your “Account      Settings” page.       If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you      want to change or terminate your subscription, please contact Wallet      Guard at team@walletguard.app or log in and go to the “Change/Cancel      Subscription” page on your “Account Settings” page.  If you cancel your subscription, you may      use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription      term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term      expires.  However, you will not be      eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee      paid for the then-current subscription period.  By subscribing, you authorize Wallet      Guard to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of      any subsequent subscription period.       Upon renewal of your subscription, if Wallet Guard does not      receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all      amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Wallet      Guard may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to      attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon      receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of      automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as      of the day payment was received).

  1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this      Arbitration Agreement, you and Wallet Guard agree that any dispute,      claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access      to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products      sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement and prior      versions of the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose      between us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”)      will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except      that: (1) you and Wallet Guard may assert claims or seek relief in small      claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and      (2) you or Wallet Guard 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 the Agreement as well as      claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
  2.  
  3. Informal Dispute Resolution.  There might be      instances when a Dispute arises between you and Wallet Guard. If that      occurs, Wallet Guard is committed to working with you to reach a      reasonable resolution. You and Wallet Guard agree that good faith      informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and      mutually beneficial outcome. You and Wallet Guard 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 Disputemust give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an InformalDispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension ismutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Wallet Guard that you intend toinitiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to team@walletguard.appor regular mail to our offices located at 1209 Orange Street Wilmington, DE19801 US. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailingaddress, email address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) thename, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, ifany; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute ResolutionConference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be heldeach time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or groupof law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all partiesagree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the sameInformal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the timebetween a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute ResolutionConference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the partiesfrom engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’sDispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a conditionprecedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration.The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled whilethe parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference processrequired by this section.

     
  1. Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND WALLET GUARD 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 Wallet Guard are instead electing      that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration      Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability      of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in      arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very      limited review.
  2.  
  3. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND WALLET GUARD AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN the subsection entitled “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 the subsection entitled “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 subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,”      are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for      relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Wallet      Guard 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 Delaware. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or      litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Wallet      Guard from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
  4.  
  5. Rules and      Forum.  The 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 Wallet Guard 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 partywho wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a requestfor arbitration (the “Request”). TheRequest must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mailaddress of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (ifapplicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicableaccount; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factualbases 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 Resolutionprocess as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paidany necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If theparty requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall alsoinclude counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address.Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counselcertifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formedafter an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request isnot being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, causeunnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2)the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing lawor by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existinglaw or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentionshave evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely haveevidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation ordiscovery.  

Unlessyou and Wallet Guard otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration processdiscussed in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the arbitrationwill be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, thearbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information betweenthe parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If theAAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternativearbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will besolely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.  

You and WalletGuard agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitrationproceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyoneexcept the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and thensubject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documentsexchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

     
  1. Arbitrator. The      arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to      practice law in the State of Delaware 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 the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered,      the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
  2.  
  3. 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 the subsection      entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including      any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class      and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or      voidable, or that such subsection entitled “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 the subsection entitled “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 the subsection entitled “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.
  4.  
  5. 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 Wallet      Guard 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.

  7. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of      administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Wallet Guard agree      that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual      Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Wallet Guard 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”).

Allparties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if theyarise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the sameor similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent theparties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, thedisagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a solestanding arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitrationprocess (“AdministrativeArbitrator”). In an effortto expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator,the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such proceduresas are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The AdministrativeArbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Wallet Guard.
