8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND COSTS

8.1 Governing Law

This Agreement will be governed by and construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts or choice of law principles. Any arbitration or court proceeding will take place in New York City, New York, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or Federal courts in New York City, New York. You irrevocably submit and consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

8.2 Dispute Resolution

You and Kappa Pay agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to your use of or access to our Service or Kappa Pay Materials, this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitration (each, a “Dispute”), except those that are resolved informally or brought in a small claims court, will be arbitrated by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST KAPPA PAY. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class or representative arbitration).

8.3 Informal Resolution

To the extent feasible, the parties desire to resolve any Disputes through discussions and negotiations between each other. The parties agree to attempt to resolve any Disputes by negotiation with the other party (by phone, electronic correspondence, or written correspondence). To provide this opportunity to resolve any Dispute, before commencing any arbitration or suit, each party agrees to send to the other party a written Notice (“Notice”). Any Notice to Kappa Pay should be sent by mail to Kappa Pay Inc., Attn: Arbitration Provision, 75 State Street, Ste 100, MA 02109 USA. Any Notice sent to you will be sent to the address on file for your account. The Notice must: (i) include your name and account number; (ii) provide detailed information sufficient to evaluate the merits of the claiming party’s individualized claim and for the other party to determine if an amicable resolution is possible; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought, including whatever amount of money is demanded and the means by which the demanding party calculated the claimed damages. If we are not able to resolve any Dispute ourselves, you and Kappa Pay agree to resolve such Dispute through confidential binding arbitration as set forth below.

8.4 Binding Arbitration

If you and Kappa Pay are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations or in small claims court (as set forth below), either you or Kappa Pay may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”) both of which are available at the AAA website ( https://adr.org). The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including its procedural provisions, and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as set forth above, the Arbitrator shall be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether this Agreement and/or Additional Terms (or any aspect thereof) are enforceable, unconscionable, or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s claim. The arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement you and Kappa Pay may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

8.5 Confidentiality of Proceedings

Each of the parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration and shall not (without the prior written consent of the other party) disclose to any third party the fact, existence, content, award, or other result of the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enforce, enter, or challenge such award in a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable law.

8.6 Small-Claims Court

Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, either party may elect to pursue a Dispute in a local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as the matter remains in small-claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis. If a party has already submitted an arbitration demand to the AAA, the other party may, in its sole discretion, inform the AAA that it chooses to have the Dispute heard in small-claims court. At that time, the AAA will close the arbitration and the Dispute will be heard in the appropriate small-claims court, with no fees due from the arbitration respondent. ### 8.7 Opt-Out You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 8 by emailing us at legal@kappapay.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing that only a court may be used to resolve any Dispute. Opting out will not affect any other aspect of the Agreement, Additional Terms, or the Services, and will have no effect on any other or future agreements you may reach to arbitrate with us.

8.8 Waiver of Rights

You hereby agree that you understand the consequences of agreeing to binding arbitration under this Section, including giving up any constitutional rights to have the Dispute determined by a court of law or by a jury and any right that you may have under Article 13 of the California State Bar Act to have a trial de novo by a court after nonbinding arbitration of a dispute concerning fees or costs; that discovery of information in arbitration may be limited; and that the arbitration decision will be final and binding, except to the limited extent that judicial review might be available.

9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Term

This Agreement is effective upon your acceptance and will continue in full force until terminated by you or us. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by immediately discontinuing all access to our Service.

We use and rely upon electronic records and electronic signatures for the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other agreements, undertakings, notices, disclosures, or other documents, communications, or information of any type sent or received in accordance with this Agreement and in performing our obligations and exercising our rights under this Agreement.

This Agreement, the Additional Terms (including but not limited to the Partner Terms), and any hyperlinked policies and procedures constitute the entire agreement between you and Kappa Pay with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, both oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. We may revise and update this Agreement from time to time, and will post the updated Agreement to our Service. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE AMENDED VERSION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING. Although we are not obligated to provide you with notice of any changes, any changes to this Agreement will not apply retroactively to events that occurred prior to such changes. Your continued use of our Service will constitute your agreement to any new provisions within the revised Agreement.

9.7 Waiver; Severability

Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of our right to enforce them. If any term or provision of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term or provision will be deemed not to be part of this Agreement.

You may not assign, transfer, or sell (voluntarily or by operation of law) your rights or obligations under this Agreement, nor delegate your duties hereunder to any other person, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without our consent will be void and will constitute a breach of this Agreement. We may assign this Agreement or delegate or subcontract our obligations under this Agreement at any time.
