Section 18

ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

(a) Arbitration Notice. You and Company agree that if there is any dispute or claim arising from or related to this Agreement it will be resolved by confidential binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, rather than in court, after first giving Notice of the Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party and the opportunity to discuss resolution within thirty (30) days of such Notice.  Notices to Company shall be sent: (i) by personal delivery, by registered or certified mail, or by overnight delivery, to Dataowl LLC c/o Fyllo, 433 W Van Buren St., Suite 200, Chicago, IL 60607, Attn: Senior Vice President – Operations; and (ii) by e-mail to retailsolutions@hellofyllo.com with a copy to legal@hellofyllo.com.  This Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting, and the relief sought.

If you and Company are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within thirty (30) days after the Notice is sent, you or the Company may initiate arbitration proceedings.  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply and the American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes.  Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

The arbitration shall be held in the State of Illinois in the city of Chicago or at another mutually agreed location.  If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Company may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Company subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant.  Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and Company, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by applicable law.  The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Company agree that if Company makes any change to this Section (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a proceeding against Company prior to the effective date of the change.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER:  YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.  If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Company and Client each waive any right to a jury trial.  Company and Client also both agree that you or Company may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

(b) Claims and Disputes Must be Filed Within One Year. To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the effect of any disclaimer contained herein, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to your use of the Services, including, without limitation, any website or mobile application or other Services-related product, service, or other content must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.  This section applies to you and your heirs, successors and assigns.

Schedule D

Messaging Services

These terms apply to your use of any messaging Services.  Company provides a web-based interface as part of the Services that enables Clients to send SMS, MMS and email messages to recipients designated by Client, which includes, but is not limited to, access to incoming telephone number or keywords, Direct Inward Dialing Numbers (DIDs), and related messaging applications.

You are solely responsible for obtaining all consents and honoring all opt-outs as legally required for you to send email and text messages to your Customers via the Services.

Consents

You represent and warrant that the owners of the phone numbers you initiate messages to through the Services have expressly consented, or otherwise expressly opted-in, in writing to the receipt of such messages and broadcasts as required by Applicable Laws and this Agreement (including Company’s Privacy Policy).

Each opt-in confirmation, opt-out confirmation, and “HELP” message response automatically sent to Customers will count as an SMS and be charged to your account.

Revocation of Consents

You agree to maintain a list of Customers that opt out of future messages (the “Account Opt Out List”) and it is your sole responsibility to ensure that messages you initiate through the Services are not sent to Customers who appear on the Account Opt Out List. Company is not responsible for any messages incorrectly sent to a Customer on the Account Opt Out List.

You are the Sender

You agree that you are the “sender” or “maker” of all messages transmitted and/or initiated under your account, that you solely make the decision to send all messages hereunder (including without limitation any messages sent using automated and/or “intelligent” features provided by Company), and that you solely determine the content of such messages (including without limitation the use of any messaging templates). Where required by Applicable Laws, every message you send must clearly identify you as the sender. You shall schedule your messages responsibly and in a manner that is courteous to the recipients pursuant to local, state, national, and international calling time rules and regulations.

You agree to provide legally required contact information in any outbound message when and where required by Applicable Laws. You further agree that Company is, under no circumstances, responsible for the contents and/or accuracy of your messages and Company will only transmit them on a basis of good faith that you use the Services in accordance with this Agreement. You are solely responsible for providing the content of all messages initiated by you through the Services. Company will not be liable for any misuse of the Services by you. Company is not responsible for the views and opinions contained in any of your messages or broadcasts.

Limitations Imposed by Telecommunications and Network Providers

The Services transmit messages initiated by Client or sent to Client by others through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the carrier and route.  The Services transmit SMS and MMS messages via major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus the Company’s influence over the timing of the transmission of Client’s messages is within the technical constraints imposed by those providers.  Transmission is wholly dependent on the carrier, and Company cannot commit to, and does not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time with respect to any messages or other aspects of the Services.  Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transmission of messages across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet.  Communications carriers assign messages with a default lifetime and any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice.  Company is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message or other Service offering to be delivered, and Client acknowledges that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from the Company for any such non-deliveries.

Furthermore, Client agrees that message Content is deemed to have zero value. Client understands and agrees that the Services are only a conduit for the transmission of Client’s Content, and that Company neither initiates the transmission of information, selects the receivers of information, nor selects nor modifies the information contained in the transmission.

Client acknowledges that Client’s messages are transmitted unencrypted and that Client should not expect that its messages will always remain private and secure.

Telecommunications Charges

Client will not purposely route messages to high-cost areas for origination or termination of telecommunications traffic on the Services. Messages may be monitored and reported upon each billing cycle to ensure sound traffic patterns. Excessive routing of calls to high-cost areas will be addressed to Client by Company and fines may be assessed to recover excess charges from Company VoIP termination companies.

Supplemental Payment Terms for Messaging Services

Your payment for the Services, keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees and/or plans (a portion of which also includes software maintenance and upgrades, as well as customer support) shall be deemed completed when Company receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services, keywords, DIDs and/or plans. You are responsible to pay for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As Company is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, the price per credit may require adjustment in order to account for costs that are not within Company’s control. Accordingly, Company may adjust its prices from time to time without prior notice. You are responsible for any and all third-party fees, charges, or similar, including but not limited to payphone, toll-free origination, SMS/MMS carrier, and brand and/or campaign registration fees, as well as other charges and fees should they arise or be billed by any underlying carrier, provider or other third party directly or indirectly involved in the provision of the Services under this Agreement.

Company will charge your indicated method of payment for the Services, keywords, DIDs and/or plans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Order Form. Company will assess an additional charge based on the costs Company incurs for porting each DID number assigned to you that you request to be ported within six months of the original assignment by Company and Company may further restrict the ability to port telephone numbers assigned to you by Company consistent with FCC regulations. Your account will be credited within 24 hours of Company verifying receipt of your payment. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and Company does not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by Company.

As between you and Company, you are responsible for all charges related to purchases made using your account and payment method, whether or not you authorized such purchases. Standard charges apply to any test call or message sent originating from your account or initiated using your API key.

All messages purchased, or pre-purchased, pursuant to any bundle or other pricing plan expire at the end of each thirty (30) day billing period (“Standard Billing Period”) and do not roll over.  If during any Standard Billing Period, you incur incremental charges that are in excess of your monthly plan price (the “Billing Threshold”), Company may automatically charge that amount to your credit card on file.

Suspension Right

Company reserves the right to stop, block, and/or refuse to send any messages that are not in compliance with the Agreement, including this or any other Schedule.
