payments, processing, batching, or the settlement amount. Your failure to notify

Taxes

on an invoice. If any Products or Services, or payments for any Products or
Services, under this Agreement are subject to Tax in any jurisdiction and you
have not remitted the applicable Tax to Lavu, you will be responsible for the
payment of such Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax
authority. You will indemnify Lavu and its affiliates for any liability or expense
Lavu or its affiliates may incur in connection with such Taxes, including penalties
or interest. Upon our request, you will provide Lavu with official receipts issued
by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all
applicable Taxes. For purposes of this section, “Tax” or “Taxes” shall mean any

levies or other amounts. Taxes do not include Lavu’s income taxes in the United

contemplated. Any Taxes imposed on payments of Fees to Lavu will be your
sole responsibility, and you will provide Lavu with official receipts issued by the
appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably
request, to establish that such Taxes have been paid by you.

pay the Financing Partner in accordance with your separate agreement(s) with
the Financing Partner, and the Financing Partner will have to pay us in

Partners are not responsible for Lavu.

provide cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your use of

(each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional

agree that your subscription will be subject to this automatic renewal
feature unless you cancel your subscription at any time prior to the
Renewal Commencement Date by contacting Customer Care at

your then­current subscription term. If you cancel your subscription, you may

subscription will not be renewed after your then­current term expires. However,
you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee
paid for the then­current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize us
(or our third­party payment processor) to immediately charge your payment
method at the beginning of your initial subscription period, and again at the
beginning of any subsequent subscription period.
You acknowledge and agree that Lavu will charge all applicable fees and
charges due to the payment card or other form of non­invoice payment method
that you provided to Lavu upon order placement and prior to shipment of any
Products.

transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services). Where
applicable, you agree to be bound by such third­party payment processors’ terms
and conditions in connection with such services. You hereby consent to provide
and authorize Lavu and any third­party payment processor to share any
information and payment instructions you provide to the extent required to
complete the payment transactions in accordance with this Agreement, including
personal, financial, credit card payment, and transaction information.

or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
Disputes & Arbitration
In the event that a Dispute arises, you agree that you will contact Lavu Support to
give us the opportunity to resolve the Dispute. Either party may request
arbitration if your Dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days after presenting the
Dispute to the other party. All Disputes that cannot be resolved informally
(excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) shall
be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this
Section. This Section applies to you and Lavu, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates,
agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as
all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Products or Services
provided under this Agreement.
The arbitration of any Dispute shall be initiated through the American Arbitration
Association and conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable
rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this Agreement. The
arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or
disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand
U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding
non­appearance­based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For
claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand
U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined
by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of
your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the
parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give
the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearing.
The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this
agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or
representative basis, award punitive or consequential damages or any other
damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or
declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis
damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief
pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. Any judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you, nor Lavu nor
the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration,
except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of
the arbitration award. If any portion of this Section is determined by a court to be
inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements
arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of
the American Arbitration Association.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lavu may seek injunctive or other equitable relief
to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE
CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY
OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY
RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR
A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by
arbitration under this Section. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited,
more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to
very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between
you and Lavu in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an
arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND LAVU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A
JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
In any circumstances where the this Agreement permits the parties to litigate in
court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts
located within Bernalillo County, New Mexico, for such purpose.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New Mexico, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without
regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
Time to Initiate a Dispute
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND
LAVU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR
