If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except as provided below) subject to these Terms as set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Site or information we supply shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

10.7.4. Arbitrator’s Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

10.7.5. Filing a Demand. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) Write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at: [email protected].

10.7.6. Fees & Costs. If your claim(s) total is less than US $5,000.00, then: (a) you may choose whether your participation in the arbitration will be conducted on the basis of documents provided to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing; (b) ConsentLayer will reimburse your filing fees up to a maximum of US $1,500.00 unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous; and (c) ConsentLayer will not seek attorney’s fees and costs, unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

10.7.7. No Jury Trial. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration section, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

10.7.8. Venue. Arbitration shall be initiated and take place in West Palm Beach, Florida, United States, and you and ConsentLayer agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in West Palm Beach, Florida in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

10.7.9. Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND ConsentLayer AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

10.7.10. Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in any state, or federal court or other governing body or authority with lawful jurisdiction for such disputes, or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).

10.7.11. Survival. This Mandatory Arbitration, Waiver of Class Actions section shall survive any termination of your use of the Site or information we supply.

10.8. Entire Terms. These Terms, which include the language and paragraphs preceding Section 1, are the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between you and ConsentLayer regarding the ConsentLayer Services provided under these Terms. These Terms supersede and the parties disclaim any reliance on previous oral and written communications (including any confidentiality agreements pertaining to the Site (including the ConsentLayer Services) under these Terms) with respect to the subject matter hereof and apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. ConsentLayer hereby rejects any additional or conflicting terms appearing in a purchase order or any other ordering materials submitted by you and conditions assent solely based on these Terms and conditions of these Terms as offered by ConsentLayer.

10.9. Governing Law & Venue. These Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A, without reference to its choice of law rules to the contrary. For purposes of determining the governing law, you and ConsentLayer agree that ConsentLayer is the proponent of these Terms. Notwithstanding your and ConsentLayer’s agreement to mandatory arbitration, either party may seek any interim or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in West Palm Beach, Florida, as necessary to protect the party’s rights or property pending the completion of arbitration. You and ConsentLayer submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S.A.

10.10. Language and Translations. ConsentLayer may provide translations of these Terms or other terms or policies. Translations are provided for informational purposes and if there is an inconsistency or conflict between a translation and the English version, the English version will control.

10.11. Waiver. The waiver by either you or ConsentLayer of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to these Terms to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.

10.12. Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the grant of any license to you under these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the license will immediately terminate.

10.13. How to Contact Us. If you have any questions about the Site or Terms, pricing, complaints, or other inquiries, please contact ConsentLayer at [email protected] or by mail at 400 Executive Center Drive, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, US-400 Executive Center Drive, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, US-400 Executive Center Drive, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, US.

11.1. California. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” This release includes the criminal acts of others.

11.2. New Jersey. If you are a New Jersey resident, the limitations in Section 9 specifically do apply to you.

11.3. Austria. If you are domiciled in Austria, ConsentLayer shall be fully liable for intentional and gross negligence, as well as for any damages arising from injury to life, body or health caused by ConsentLayer. In the case of liability for slight negligence, ConsentLayer shall be liable only for breach of a material obligation (“Cardinal Duty”) and any such liability shall be limited to typical, foreseeable damages and shall not include liability for lack of economic results, loss of profit, or indirect damages. A Cardinal Duty in the meaning of this Section 11.3 is an obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential to the performance of these Terms and on the fulfillment of which the contracting party may therefore rely. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your rights under mandatory Austrian law and these Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in compliance with mandatory consumer protection laws of Austria. Notwithstanding Section 10.7 and Section 10.9 above, if you are a consumer, you may submit a claim to enforce your rights under these Terms to the competent courts in Austria. The offering of ConsentLayer Services is limited to businesses only. If you are a consumer in the sense of the Consumer Protection Act (“KSchG”), you must not enter an agreement with ConsentLayer for the ConsentLayer Services.

11.4. Belgium. If you are domiciled in Belgium, except in cases of intentional or gross negligence (including by its employees or agents), or of breach of essential obligations under the contract in the absence of force majeure, ConsentLayer shall not be liable to you for any damages arising out of or related to any transactions or uses of the Services contemplated under these Terms. Notwithstanding Section 10.4, you will have the right to assign your rights or obligations under these Terms subject to you providing 30-day prior written notice to ConsentLayer.

In the case of liability for slight negligence, ConsentLayer shall be liable only for breach of a material obligation (“Cardinal Duty”) and any such liability shall be limited to typical, foreseeable damages and shall not include liability for lack of economic results, loss of profit, or indirect damages. A Cardinal Duty in the meaning of this Section 11.5 is an obligation, the fulfilment of which is essential to the performance of these Terms and on the fulfilment of which the contracting party may therefore rely. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your rights under mandatory German law and these Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in compliance with mandatory consumer protection laws of Germany. Notwithstanding Section 10.7 and Section 10.9 above, if you are a consumer, you may submit a claim to enforce your rights under these Terms to the competent courts in Germany.

c. Payment Terms.

i. Subscription Plan. The prices, features, and options of the ConsentLayer Services depend on the Subscription Plan selected as well as any changes instigated by Customer. ConsentLayer does not represent or warrant that a particular Subscription Plan will be offered indefinitely and, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, reserves the right to change the prices for or alter the features and options in a particular Subscription Plan without prior notice.

ii. No Refunds. Customer will timely pay ConsentLayer all fees associated with its Subscription Plan, Account, or use of the ConsentLayer Services, including, but without limitation, by Authorized Users. CUSTOMER’S PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OR AS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES. Charges for pre-paid Subscription Plans will be billed to Customer in advance. Charges for per-use purchases and standard Subscription Plan charges will be billed in arrears unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Plan.

iii. Recurring Charges. When you purchase a Subscription Plan, you must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method that you are authorized to use. You will be billed for your Subscription Plan either through the payment method you provide, such as a credit card, or through an intermediary provider (“App Store”). Customer must promptly notify ConsentLayer of any change in its invoicing address and must update its Account with any changes related to its payment method. BY COMPLETING REGISTRATION FOR A SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, CUSTOMER AUTHORIZES ConsentLayer OR ITS AGENT TO CHARGE ITS PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING (E.G. MONTHLY OR YEARLY) BASIS (“AUTHORIZATION”) FOR: (a) THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN CHARGES; (b) ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES; AND (c) ANY OTHER CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE ConsentLayer SERVICES. The Authorization continues through the applicable Subscription Term and any Renewal Term (each as defined in Section 5(d)(i), below) until Customer cancels as set forth in Section 5 of these Terms.

iv. Late Fees & Collection Costs. If ConsentLayer does not receive payment from Customer’s payment method, Customer agrees to pay all amounts due upon demand. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Customer will reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by ConsentLayer to collect any amount that is not paid when due. ConsentLayer may accept payment in any amount without prejudice to ConsentLayer’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to ConsentLayer may not be withheld or offset by Customer for any reason against amounts due or asserted to be due from ConsentLayer.

v. Invoices. ConsentLayer will provide billing and usage information in a format we choose, which may change from time to time. ConsentLayer reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it identifies even if it has already issued an invoice or received payment. Customer agrees to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within thirty (30) days after they first appear on your invoice. If Customer does not bring such problems/discrepancies to our attention within thirty (30) days, it agrees to waive its right to dispute such problems or discrepancies.

vi. Billing Cycles. Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and/or prorations. Customer agrees that we may (at our option) accumulate charges incurred during a billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of a cycle, and that we may delay obtaining authorization or payment from Customer’s payment card issuer or App Store until submission of the accumulated charge(s).

vii. Benefit Programs. You may receive or be eligible for certain pricing structures, discounts, features, promotions, and other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”) through a business or government agreement with us (“Business Terms”). Any and all such Benefits are provided solely as a result of the corresponding Business Terms and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, such Benefits may be modified or terminated without notice. If you use the ConsentLayer Services and a business or government entity pays your charges or is otherwise liable for the charges, you authorize us to share your account information with that entity and/or its authorized agents. If you are enrolled in a Subscription Plan or receive certain Benefits tied to Business Terms with us, but you are liable for your own charges, then you authorize us to share enough account information to verify your continuing eligibility for those Benefits and the Subscription Plan.

viii. Tax Responsibility. All payments required by these Terms are stated exclusive of all taxes, duties, levies, imposts, fines, or similar governmental assessments, including sales and use taxes, value-added taxes (“VAT”), goods and services taxes (“GST”), excise, business, service, and similar transactional taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer shall be responsible for and bear Taxes associated with its purchase of, payment for, access to or use of the ConsentLayer Services. If ConsentLayer is required to remit Taxes associated with Customer’s purchase of, payment for, access to, or use of the ConsentLayer Services, ConsentLayer will add the amount of those Taxes, itemized where required by law, to the payment due. Taxes may be applied without notice. Taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to ConsentLayer, except as required by law, in which case Customer shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, ConsentLayer receives and retains (free from any Tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Customer hereby confirms that ConsentLayer can rely on the name and address set forth in its registration for a Subscription Plan as being the place of supply for Tax purposes. If applicable, Customer shall provide to ConsentLayer its VAT, GST, or similar tax identification number(s) to avoid application of taxes, as applicable. Customer shall use the ordered ConsentLayer Services for Customer’s business use in the foregoing location(s) in accordance with the provided VAT or GST identification number(s). The parties’ obligations under this Section (Tax Responsibility) shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.

ix. Intermediary Provider Billing. If your Subscription Plan is based on intermediary provider billing, your intermediary provider will automatically charge your App Store account monthly for the cost of the Subscription Plan and any applicable taxes. If you are not current with your Subscription Plan payments, we reserve the right to terminate your account, suspend your access to your Subscription Plan, or convert your Subscription Plan subscription to a non-subscription account. You will be responsible for paying all past due amounts

x. Termination. If these Terms expire or are terminated for any reason Customer will pay to ConsentLayer any amounts that have accrued before, and remain unpaid as of, the date of the termination or expiration, including those for the billing cycle in which termination occurs.

d. You may elect to receive authentication and/or notification by text or ringless voicemail (“SMS Messages”) at the mobile number you provide as part of your use of the ConsentLayer Services. You represent that you are the subscriber of the mobile service at the mobile number provided, or that you are otherwise authorized by the subscriber to receive SMS Messages at such mobile number as part of your use of the ConsentLayer Services. By electing to receive and send SMS Messages, you acknowledge that message and data rates may apply under your agreement with your provider of mobile communication services (“Mobile Service Provider”). You further understand and acknowledge that your Mobile Service Provider’s network services are outside of ConsentLayer’s control and we are not responsible or liable for any issues arising therefrom. ConsentLayer will not be liable for any of the following: a) failure of delivery of any content via SMS Message; b) any delays in transmission of SMS Messages; or c) any service or other changes implemented by your Mobile Service Provider impacting the receipt or sending of SMS Messages as part of your use of the ConsentLayer Services.

iv. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, including without limitation the warranties described in Section 7 of the General Terms (Warranties and Disclaimers) or any service-specific terms and conditions applicable to a particular ConsentLayer Service, including exhibits and attachments accompanying such schedule (“Service Schedule”), during a Free Trial the ConsentLayer Services are provided “AS IS” and “as available” without any warranty that may be set forth in these Terms, and ConsentLayer DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ConsentLayer’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE FREE TRIAL IS $100.

ConsentLayer will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you prior to any such suspension or disablement, unless ConsentLayer reasonably believes that: (a) it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law or under legal process, such as court or government administrative agency processes, orders, mandates, and the like; or (b) it is necessary to delay notice in order to prevent imminent harm to the ConsentLayer Services or a third party. Under circumstances where notice is delayed, ConsentLayer will provide the notice if and when the related restrictions in the previous sentence no longer apply.

b. Term. The period of effectiveness of these Terms, with respect to ConsentLayer Services, begins on the date the Customer accepts these Terms and continues until the Customer’s Subscription Plan expires or its use of the ConsentLayer Services ceases (including as a result of termination in accordance with this Section 6), whichever is later (“Term”).

c. Subscription Term and Automatic Renewals.

i. ConsentLayer’s Subscription Plans automatically renew unless otherwise noted. If you purchase a Subscription Plan you agree to pay the then-current applicable fee associated with the Subscription Plan and further agree and acknowledge that it will automatically renew, unless, prior to the end of the current period of effectiveness of the Subscription Plan (“Subscription Term”): (a) you terminate your Account; (b) you set your Account not to auto-renew by logging in to ConsentLayer Services (c) ConsentLayer declines to renew your Subscription Plan; or (d) these Terms are otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. The Subscription Plan will automatically renew on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the method you choose (“Renewal Term”).

ii. Promotional codes may only be used for your first Subscription Term. If you purchased your Subscription Plan with a promotional code, each time your Subscription Plan renews you will be charged the full annual billing amount. If your Subscription Plan is ever terminated for any reason, and you purchase another Subscription Plan, you shall not be eligible to use a promotional code.

iii. We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend the fees and features associated with your Subscription Plan to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws. We may also recommend that you purchase a new Subscription Plan that is comparable to your previous Subscription Plan that is ending. Before we change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges, we will give you advance notice of at least thirty (30) days. If we provide you such advance notice, unless prohibited by applicable laws, your continued use of the ConsentLayer Services after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may terminate your Subscription Plan as described in Section 6. If you accept the new Subscription Plan, its terms and conditions with these Terms will apply in the Renewal Term and thereafter.

d. Termination by Customer. You may terminate your Account at any time upon ten (10) days’ advance written notice to ConsentLayer. If you wish to terminate, you must cancel your Account in the dashboard. If you purchased your Subscription Plan through an external service, such as an App Store, you must use the tools made available by those services to manage and/or terminate your Subscription Plan. Section 4(b)(ii) notwithstanding, if a Customer terminates its annual Subscription Plan within the first fourteen (14) days of the initial Subscription Term, it may submit a written request to ConsentLayer for a refund of the fees paid to ConsentLayer for the initial Subscription Term, which ConsentLayer will consider, without obligation, in good faith. ConsentLayer has no obligation to consider refund requests related to a termination of a Subscription Plan if the termination does not occur in the first fourteen (14) days of the initial Subscription Term, or if there has been a violation of other Terms herein, or if records indicate substantial productive use took place during that period.

e. Default; Termination by ConsentLayer. A Customer will be in default of these Terms if: (a) it fails to timely pay any amount owed to us or an Affiliate of ours; (b) it or an Authorized User associated with its Account breaches any provision of these Terms or violates any published policy applicable to the ConsentLayer Services; (c) it is or becomes subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws; or (d) if, in our sole discretion, we believe that continued use of the ConsentLayer Services by the Customer (or its Authorized Users) creates legal risk for ConsentLayer or presents a threat to the security of the ConsentLayer Services or ConsentLayer’s customers. If a Customer is in default, we may, without notice: (i) suspend its Account and use of the ConsentLayer Services; (ii) terminate its Account; (iii) charge reactivation fees in order to reactivate its Account; and (iv) pursue any other remedy available to us. A ConsentLayer “Affiliate” means any legal entity that ConsentLayer, Inc. owns, that owns ConsentLayer, Inc. or that is under common control with ConsentLayer, Inc. A Customer “Affiliate” means any legal entity that Customer owns, that owns Customer or that is under common control with Customer. “Control” and “own” mean possessing greater than 50% interest in an entity or the right to direct the management of the entity.

f. Effect of Termination. If these Terms expire or are terminated for any reason: (a) any and all of your liabilities to us that have accrued before the effective date of the expiration or termination will survive; (b) licenses and use rights granted to you with respect to the Site, including rights to any intellectual property therein or thereto, will immediately terminate in accordance with these Terms; (c) our obligation to provide any further access to the Site to you under these Terms will immediately terminate, except any such rights that are expressly to be provided following expiration or termination of these Terms; and (d) the provisions of Section 4(b)(ii) (No Refunds), Section 4(b)(vii) (Benefit Programs), Section 4(b)(xiii) (Tax Responsibility), and Section 4(d) (Free Trial and Special Offers for ConsentLayer Services) of this Schedule 1 (Additional Terms for ConsentLayer Services), as well as provisions designated to survive under the Terms, any Service Schedules and accompanying attachments and Exhibits to the Terms.
