assigned as an Administrator. The Administrator will have the capability of providing administrative
privileges identical to that of the Administrator to any User, including the ability to create and maintain
subsequent User Accounts and assigning and revoking access privileges. If these privileges are granted by

control the use of the Services as permitted by the Customer Portal. Customer also agrees that the
Administrator shall have the authority on the Customer’s behalf to electronically accept and approve any
and all agreements and amendments to agreements by and between First Orion and Customer, including

authorized representatives of the Customer, and any decision or action made by any Admin is deemed as
a decision or action of Customer. - Users. Any User creating a User Account in the Customer Portal will establish a User ID and
password (“User Credentials”). Customer is responsible for limiting access to the Customer Portal to its
authorized users and for maintaining the confidentiality of all User Credentials. Customer will require all
Users to keep their password strictly confidential and to not share such information with any unauthorized
person and will notify First Orion immediately of any unauthorized use. First Orion will not be liable for
any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of any User Account. Customer is responsible for the
activities of all of its Users, including Orders they may place and how Users use the Customer Data, even
if those Users are not from Customer’s organization or domain. Further, Customer acknowledges that any
action taken by a User of a Customer Account is deemed an authorized action by Customer. - Communications with Administrators and Users. By creating the Customer Account and each
User Account, each Administrator and User consents to receiving communications via email to their
registered email address, such as (a) notices about Customer’s use of the Services; (b) updates to the
Services and new features or products; (c) administrative messages and other information; and (d)
advertising, marketing, and other materials regarding products and services offered by First Orion. - Single Sign-On. Should Customer utilize Single Sign-On (SSO), Customer must ensure that
User Credentials are protected in accordance with all reasonable security standards and safeguards. First
Orion will take reasonable steps to permit only authorized access to the Customer Portal using the User
Credentials. Should unauthorized access to the Customer Portal occur through the negligent, willful or
otherwise unlawful disclosure or use of the User Credentials, Customer shall indemnify First Orion
against any losses, damage or hacking to First Orion systems caused by such disclosure or use. - Developer Portal. In order to consume some or all of the Services, it may be necessary to
connect your applications, websites, products, services or platforms to the Customer Portal. You may
access First Orion Preview Materials, Credentials or First Orion Developer Tools (as defined in the
Developer Portal Terms of Use located on the Legal Dashboard) to do so. In addition to these Terms,
provisions applicable to your access and use of First Orion Preview Materials, Credentials and
Developers Tools can be found in the Developer Portal Terms of Use.
3. First Orion Responsibilities
- Customer Portal License. Subject to these Terms, First Orion grants Customer a limited,
revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 13(b)), non-sublicensable license, from the
date on which Customer is provided access to the Customer Portal until the earlier of (i) the expiration of
the Order or (ii) the date on which the Customer Account is terminated, for Users to access and use the
First Orion Customer Portal in connection with Customer’s internal business purposes. - Provision of Services. We will (a) make the Services available to you in accordance with
these Terms, our Documentation, and any applicable Order; (b) comply with our Security Overview for
the Services; (c) provide the Services in accordance with laws applicable to our provision of the Services
to our customers generally (i.e. without regard for your particular use of the Services), subject to your use
of the Services in accordance with these Terms, the applicable Documentation, and any applicable
Order(s); (d) process Customer Data in accordance with these Terms and any applicable Service Specific
Terms; and (e) use trained, qualified personnel in connection with the provision of the Services. - Changes. First Orion may, in its sole discretion, make changes to the Customer Portal, any
Services, APIs, application, system or platform that it deems necessary or useful to (i) maintain or
enhance (a) the quality or delivery of the Services; (b) the competitive strength of, or market for, the
Services or APIs; (c) the Customer Portal, an application, a platform or a system’s cost efficiency or
performance, or (ii) to comply with applicable law. We will use reasonable efforts to let you know at least
thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of any material changes to the existing Customer Portal,
Services, APIs, application, system or platform.
4. Customer Responsibilities
- Customer will: (a) be solely responsible for all use of the Services and Documentation under
your account, including the quality and integrity of any Customer Data and other information made
available to us by or for you in order for us to provide the Services under these Terms; (b) use the
Services only in accordance with these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy, and the Pass-Through Terms

regulation; (c) do your best to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services and notify us
promptly of any such unauthorized access or use; (d) provide reasonable cooperation regarding

Warranties, and Disclaimer). Unless you are otherwise authorized in writing by First Orion, you may not
allow, and may not allow others to (i) transfer, resell, lease, license, or otherwise make available the
Services to third parties or offer them on a standalone basis; (ii) copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post,
transmit, resell, or distribute in any way, any data, content, or any part of the Services, Documentation, or

technical limitations of the Services or enable functionality that is disabled or prohibited; (iv) decipher,
decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive any code or underlying ideas or
algorithms of any part of the Services; or (v) perform or attempt to perform any actions that would
interfere with the normal operation of the Services or affect use of the Services by our other users. - If an Order provides that Customer may use the Services as a business process outsourcer
acting on behalf of its enterprise customers, then Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained
the right, title, and interest from each enterprise customers to act on its behalf in connection with the
Services and (ii) Customer has a valid and binding written agreement in place with each enterprise
customer that provides such right, title, and interest to Customer and requires that each enterprise
customer comply with all applicable provisions of these Terms. Customer further understands and agrees
that each enterprise customer is subject to any vetting and approval requirements for the provision of the
Services.
5. Ownership and Reservation of Rights
As between the parties, First Orion owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer
Portal, the Services, the Documentation, First Orion’s Confidential Information, any data that is derived
from the use of the Services that does not directly or indirectly identify Customers, and any feedback or
suggestions provided by or on behalf of Customer regarding the Services. As between the parties,
Customer owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to Customer’s Confidential Information,
and the Customer Data, subject to First Orion’s rights to process Customer Data in accordance with these
Terms.
6. Customer Data and Usage Data
- Customer grants to First Orion and its Affiliates the right to process Customer Data in a
manner consistent with these Terms in order to (a) provide the Services; (b) mitigate fraud or other harm
to customers; and (c) analyze, develop, support, monitor, and improve the Services and the Customer
Portal. Customers using Branded Calling Services authorize First Orion to disclose Branded Calling Data
to any applicable Distribution Partner for the purposes of (i) managing call traffic flow, (ii) observing and
managing branding activity, (iii) Customer vetting, (iv) providing third tier support for the Services as
needed, (v) permitting First Orion to perform the Services to the Customer and (vi) confirming
compliance with applicable laws. To the extent that First Orion processes any Personal Data on your
behalf as a data processor when performing its obligations under these Terms, the Data Processing
Addendum (located on the Legal Dashboard) shall apply. - First Orion will have the right to collect and analyze Usage Data and First Orion will be free
(during and after the term of the Order) to use Usage Data in de-identified and aggregated form to
maintain, improve, and enhance First Orion’s products or services. Examples of Usage Data include
technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Data, such as how many
times it is accessed. For clarity, Usage Data excludes Customer Data itself.
7. Use and Suspension.
- We may suspend all or any part of the Services if we, in good faith, determine: (a) that you
are in breach of any provision of these Terms; (b) that our provision of the Services is prohibited by
applicable law or regulation; (c) that there is any use of the Services by you that in our judgment threatens
the security, integrity or availability of the Services; (d) that information in your account is or becomes
untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent; or (e) we reasonably believe that your use of the Services
may cause material harm to First Orion, the Services, or other entities using the Services including
Distribution Partners. - The Services may also be suspended in their entirety, at an enterprise level, on a business
level, or on an individual telephone number basis in connection with any request or directive by a
Distribution Partner. We will notify you immediately in the event suspension is necessary including any
required corrective actions if applicable. - You agree to reasonably cooperate with First Orion in any investigation into any events that
resulted in a suspension. You will remain responsible for the Fees (as defined below) during any period of
suspension. However, in the event of a suspension that causes a change in the Services that materially
effects the fees being charged, Customer and First Orion will meet to discuss any adjustments.
8. Term and Termination
- Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in these Terms, the term applicable to the
Services will be as set forth in the applicable Order. In the event no term is specified, the term shall be
month to month, and either Customer or First Orion may terminate at any time, effective as of the end of a
month. - Termination For Convenience. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Order, either party
may terminate these Terms for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if there is an Order(s) in effect, Customer may not terminate
these Terms until such Order(s) has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. - Termination for Material Breach. First Orion may terminate these Terms (including all
Order(s)) in the event Customer commits any material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such
material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided. For
the avoidance of doubt, any breach of our Acceptable Use Policy will be considered a material breach of
these Terms. Customer may also terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event First Orion
commits a material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days
of the date written notice of such material breach is provided. - Additional Termination Right. We may terminate all or a portion of the Services provided
under an Order to the extent a Distribution Partner precludes or materially modifies our ability to provide
such Services. We will provide notice of a termination under this section promptly upon becoming aware
of the circumstances giving rise to the termination right.
9. Fees and Payments
- Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Customer shall pay the Fees as set
forth in each Order between Customer and First Orion. Unless indicated otherwise, Fees are (i) stated in
US dollars and (ii) non-cancelable and non-refundable. Except as set forth in an Order, First Orion
reserves the right to adjust the Fees by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior
to the end of the then-current term (and such adjusted Fees will take effect upon the applicable renewal). - Taxes. Customer will be responsible for, and agrees to pay, all sales, use, excise, and valueadded taxes, or taxes of a similar nature (excluding personal property taxes and taxes based on First
Orion’s income which shall be borne by First Orion) imposed by the United States, any state or local
government or other taxing authority, on the use of the Services or Fees paid by Customer under the
Order (“Taxes”). Customers exempt from paying certain Taxes must provide necessary exemption
information or a valid exemption certificate issued by the appropriate authority via e-mail to
accounting@firstorion.com. Once the exemption request is approved, Customer will be exempt on a
going-forward basis. If the appropriate authority determines, at any time, that Customer is not exempt
from paying any Taxes, Customer will promptly pay such Taxes to First Orion, plus any applicable
interest or penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, First Orion may specify Fees for Services which are
all inclusive of Taxes and in such event the invoice provided to the Customer will state that the invoiced
Fees are all inclusive of Taxes. If the Customer is not subject to, or exempt from, all or any portion of the
Taxes, for those Fees which are all inclusive of Taxes, there will be no adjustment to the Fees. - Billing. As part of creating a Customer Account or submitting information in connection with
the use of Services, Customer agrees to provide First Orion with updated, accurate and complete billing
information, and Customer authorizes First Orion (either directly or through our Affiliates or other third
parties) to charge, request, and collect payment (or otherwise refund or take any other billing actions)
from Customer’s payment method or designated banking account and to make any inquiries that First
Orion (or its Affiliates and/or third-parties acting on its behalf) may consider necessary to validate
Customer’s designated payment account or financial information to ensure prompt payment, including for
the purpose of receiving updated payment details from Customer’s credit card company or banking
account (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by Customer’s credit card
company). - Payment.
- First Orion may specify instances in which the Customer must prepay the Fees for the Services. In addition to being able to pay for such Services by ACH, First Orion also provides for payment through a third-party payment processor to process and collect payments for Services. Customer agrees to provide all information required by the payment processor to facilitate payment and authorizes First Orion, either directly or through the payment provider, to charge Customer for the Fees when due during the term applicable to the Services.
- First Orion may also specify instances in which Fees for Services will be billed in arrears, including those based on usage or consumption criteria (e.g., per treated call). In these instances, invoices will be sent on or about the first of each calendar month. Fees for the first and last month may be prorated based on the Effective Date. Pro-rated fees for the first month may be included on the invoice for the following calendar month. All payments are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (the “Due Date”). In the event an invoice is not paid by its Due Date, such invoice shall bear simple interest at the lower of the highest rate allowable by applicable law or 1.5% per month. Payments shall be made by check, Automated Clearing House (ACH), or other electronic means reasonably required by First Orion. Client may request that First Orion participate in an alternative payment or invoicing method; however, the Due Date will not be suspended during any time period during which the alternative method is being implemented. In the event Customer fails to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms (or an applicable Order), First Orion reserves the right to try to collect payment at a later time and/or suspend or cancel the Services, without notice.
- Payment through Partner. If Customer purchased a Service through a Partner, then to the
extent there is any conflict between these Terms and the agreement entered between Customer and the
respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Agreement”), then, as between Customer and
First Orion, these Terms shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer and/or any of its Users in such
Partner Agreement which are not contained in these Terms apply only in connection with the Partner. In
that case, Customer must seek redress or enforcement of such rights solely with the Partner and not First
Orion. For clarity, Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services is subject to the receipt from Partner
of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by Customer to Partner. Customer hereby acknowledges that at
any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer shall pay us
directly the respective Fees. The amounts paid to First Orion by the Partner for Customer’s use of the
Services will be deemed the amount paid or payable by Customer for purposes of Section 13, Limitation
of Liability.
10. Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. Either party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time
disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the “Recipient”). “Confidential Information” is all
nonpublic information in any form that is disclosed to either party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party
concerning the business, technology, proprietary software, pricing, business plans, forecasts, marketing
information, trade secrets and/or financial performance and strategies of the Disclosing Party which is
conveyed to the Recipient orally or in tangible form and is either marked as “confidential” or which, due
to the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or its nature or sensitivity, should have been understood
by the Recipient as intended to be treated as confidential. - Obligations. Recipient agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence and trust and
will not disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other party working under Recipient’s
direction to disclose or disseminate the existence, source, content or substance of any Confidential
Information to any other party. Recipient shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only
as necessary for the performance of this Agreement. Recipient will employ at least the same methods and
degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the Confidential
Information as Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential trade secrets and proprietary
information. Recipient’s employees, independent contractors, and agents will be given access to the
Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of
the Confidential Information. - Exceptions. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is now generally
known or available or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, becomes
generally known or available; (ii) is rightfully known to Recipient at the time of receiving such
information; (iii) is furnished to Recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure and without a
breach by such third party of any confidentiality undertaking with respect thereto; or (iv) is independently
developed by Recipient without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Recipient
may also disclose Confidential Information if disclosure is required by operation of law or if required by a
court, tribunal or administrative agency; provided that, unless prohibited by law, the Recipient shall give
the Disclosing Party as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances
so as to permit the Disclosing Party to take commercially reasonable actions at its own expense to prevent
disclosure. - Remedies. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy
for unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information and that each party may seek, without
waiving any other rights or remedies, such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a
court of competent jurisdiction. At Disclosing Party’s option, Recipient shall promptly either destroy all
Confidential Information in tangible form in its possession or return all such copies to Disclosing Party,
and in either event provide a written certification confirming the same, promptly upon Disclosing Party’s
written request.
11. Representations, Warranties, and Disclaimers
- Mutual Representations. Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it is validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the place of its establishment or incorporation; and (b) it has full
corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Terms. - Customer Representations. Customer represents and warrants that: (a) Customer is eligible to
Register and use the Services; (b) any information provided to us in connection with the Customer
Account and the Services is accurate and complete; (c) Customer will comply with all laws, rules and
regulations applicable to Customer’s business and its use of the Services (including, without limitation,
all applicable laws, rules and regulations in any way related to calls you are making (e.g., Telephone
Communications Protection Act of 1991, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Do Not Call Registry,
Telemarketing Sales Rule and Truth in CallerID); (d) Customer’s employees, contractors and agents will
at all times act consistently with these Terms; and (e) Customer will not use the Services, directly or
indirectly, for any fraudulent or illegal undertaking, or in any manner that interferes with the normal
operation of the Services. - DISCLAIMER. WITHOUT LIMITING A PARTY’S EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
SECTION 11, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, AND WE
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE
THE INTERNET AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS’ NETWORKS ARE INHERENTLY
INSECURE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CHANGES TO,
INTERCEPTION OF, OR LOSS OF CUSTOMER DATA WHILE IN TRANSIT VIA THE INTERNET
OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER’S NETWORK.
12. Indemnification
- Indemnification by Us
- Scope of Indemnification. We will defend you from and against any claim, demand, suit,
or proceeding made or brought against you by a third party alleging that our provision of the Services
infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (“Infringement Claim”). We
will indemnify you from any damages, fines or penalties imposed by a government or regulatory body,
attorneys’ fees, and costs awarded against you or for settlement amounts approved by us for an

likely to become, the subject of any Infringement Claim, we may at our option and expense: (a) procure
the right to continue providing the Services as set forth in these Terms; (b) modify the Services to make
them non-infringing; or (c) if the foregoing options are not reasonably practicable, terminate these Terms,

to any Infringement Claim (a) arising out of your use of the Services in breach of these Terms; (b) arising
out of the combination, operation, or use of the Services with other applications, portions of applications,
products, or services where the Services would not by themselves be infringing; or (c) arising from
Services for which there is no charge.
- Scope of Indemnification. We will defend you from and against any claim, demand, suit,
- Indemnification by You. You will defend us, our officers, directors, employees, and Affiliates

breach of Section 4 (Customer Responsibilities) (“Customer Indemnifiable Claims”). You will indemnify
us from any damages, fines or penalties imposed by a government or regulatory body, attorneys’ fees, and

(a) the indemnified party (“Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify the indemnifying party
(“Indemnifying Party”) of any Infringement Claim or Customer Indemnifiable Claim (individually and

Party was actually prejudiced by such failure; (b) Indemnifying Party will have the sole and exclusive
authority to defend or settle any Claim; and (c) Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate with
Indemnifying Party in connection with Indemnifying Party’s activities under this Section 12 at

the defense of any Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12, Indemnifying Party
will not settle any Claims for which it has an obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 12
admitting liability or fault on behalf of Indemnified Party, nor create any obligation on behalf of
Indemnified Party, without Indemnified Party’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed. - Exclusive Remedy. This Section 12 states Indemnifying Party’s sole liability to, and
Indemnified Party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any third-party claims.

14. General
- No Waiver and Order of Preference. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any
right or enforcing any provision under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right or any provision.
Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted to be legally
binding. Titles and headings of sections of these Terms are for convenience only and will not affect the
construction of any provision of these Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the
following documents, the order of precedence will be (1) the applicable Order, (2) any applicable Service
Specific Terms, (3) these Terms, (4) our Acceptable Use Policy, (5) any other terms incorporated by
reference herein, and (6) the applicable Documentation. - Assignment. You will not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any
applicable Order(s), in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign,
delegate, or transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s) without our consent will be null and void. We
may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s) in whole or in part,
without your consent. Subject to this Section, these Terms and any applicable Order(s) will be binding on
each party and each party’s successors and assigns. - Relationship. The relationship of the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in
these Terms is intended to create or will be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship or a
partnership, agency, joint venture, or franchise. Each party will be solely responsible for its respective
employees and agents and all related costs and expenses. Each party will also be solely responsible for
any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or defects of any type that may arise on account of each of its
respective activities, or those of its respective employees and agents, in the performance of these Terms.
Neither party has the authority to commit the other party in any way and will not attempt to do so or
imply that it has the right to do so. - Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent
necessary to make it enforceable and, in any event, the rest of these Terms will continue in full force and
effect. - Notices and Consent to Electronic Delivery. Notices to us under these Terms will be provided
via email to legal@firstorion.com. You agree that we can provide Notices regarding the Services to you
through our website, through your Customer Account, or by mailing Notices to the email or physical
addresses identified in your account. Notices may include notifications about your account, changes to the
Services, or other information we are required to provide to you. You also agree that electronic delivery
of a Notice has the same legal effect as if we provided you with a physical copy. We will consider a
Notice to have been received by you within 24 hours of the time a Notice is either posted to the Customer
Portal or our website or emailed to you. - Force Majeure. No failure, delay, or default in performance of any obligation of a party will
constitute an event of default or breach of these Terms to the extent that such failure to perform, delay, or
default arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of such
party, including action or inaction of governmental, civil, or military authority, fire, strike, lockout, or
other labor dispute, flood, terrorist act, war, riot, theft, earthquake or other natural disaster. The party
affected by such cause will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of such cause. - Dispute Resolution. In the event of a disputed claim or controversy arising out of or in
connection with these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof
other than for disputes, claims, or controversies related to the intellectual property of a party (“Dispute”),
each party’s senior representatives will engage in good faith negotiations with the other party’s senior
representatives to amicably resolve a Dispute. If parties are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30)
days after the first request to engage in good faith negotiations or within such other time period as the
parties may agree to in writing, then either party may commence binding arbitration under Section 14(h). - Arbitration
- Binding Arbitration. In the event that there is a dispute, claim or controversy arising out
of or relating to statutory or common law claims, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or
validity of any provision of these Terms, and the determination of the scope or applicability of your
agreement to arbitrate any dispute, claim or controversy originating from these Terms, but specifically
excluding any dispute principally related to either party’s intellectual property (which such dispute will be
resolved in litigation before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas), will be
determined by arbitration in Little Rock, Arkansas before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be
administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The
arbitrator will apply the substantive law of the State of Arkansas, exclusive of its conflict or choice of law
rules. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce.
Notwithstanding the provisions in this paragraph referencing applicable substantive law, the Federal
Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) will govern any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms. Either
party may commence arbitration by providing to the American Arbitration Association and the other party
to the dispute a written demand for arbitration setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief
requested. - Service of Process. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service
of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters, registered address, or primary address
(for individuals or sole proprietors). Nothing in these Terms will affect the right of any party to serve
process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. - Class Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the parties agrees that any
dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be
conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any
reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and
irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or
relating to these Terms or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties. - Provision of an Award. Subject to the limitations of liability identified in Section 13 of
these Terms, the appointed arbitrators may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by
the laws of the State of Arkansas. In making a determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to
modify any term or provision of these Terms. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned written decision with
respect to the dispute (the “Award”) to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the Award.
Any Award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed in or enforced by a state or federal
court located in Little Rock, Arkansas. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the
parties and will not be subject to appeal or review. - Arbitration Fees. Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the
arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the arbitration reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of
the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrator will award
to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in
connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of
costs and legal fees awards will be offset. - Confidentiality. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration
proceeding, the hearing and the Award, except (i) as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the
arbitration hearing on the merits, (ii) in connection with a court application as contemplated above for a
preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an Award or its enforcement, (iii) our disclosure of the Award in
confidential settlement negotiations, or (iv) as otherwise required by applicable laws. The parties,
witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than
witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration hereunder, except as
required by applicable law or except if such evidence was obtained from the public domain or was
otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration. - Conflict of Rules. If any provision of this agreement to arbitrate is held invalid or
unenforceable, it will be held to the minimum extent required by law and all the other provisions will
remain valid and enforceable.
- Binding Arbitration. In the event that there is a dispute, claim or controversy arising out
- Governing Law and Venue. Unless unenforceable under applicable law, these Terms will be
governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws
and principles that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. These Terms will not be
governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any legal
suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services will be instituted in the
courts of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of these courts. - Entire Agreement. Except as provided in these Terms and any exhibits or attachments,
applicable Order(s), or other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms, these Terms supersede all
prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials, presentations, or agreements, oral and
written. No oral or written information or advice given by us, our agents, or our employees will create a
warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties or obligations under these Terms. Any term
or condition stated in your vendor registration form or registration portal or in any purchase order
document or similar document provided by you will be construed solely as evidence of your internal
business processes, and the terms and conditions contained thereon will be null and void and have no
effect with regard to these Terms between the parties and be non-binding against us even if accepted or
signed by us after the date your accept these Terms.
