PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING THE MAROO PLATFORM OR USING THE MAROO SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE (1) MAROO TERMS OF SERVICE, (2) MAROO E-SIGN CONSENT AGREEMENT, AND (3) MAROO PRIVACY POLICY.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE MAROO PLATFORM OR USE THE MAROO SERVICE. THE HEADINGS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY. YOU SHOULD PRINT A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS.

If you do not understand any of the terms of this Agreement, please contact us at [email protected] before using the Maroo Platform or Maroo Services.

For certain products and services, we may partner with banks or other Third Parties (each, a "Bank Partner", “Third Party”). If you are approved for a product or service offered through Maroo by one of these partnerships, or through other partnerships with Bank Partners or Third Parties, you will enter into an agreement with the Bank Partner or Third Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any agreement you enter into with a Bank Partner or Third Party (and not this Agreement) will control with respect to the associated Bank Partner or Third Party product or service.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT

By accessing the Services, you agree to, and are bound by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not use the Services. You represent that you have authority to enter into this Agreement on your own behalf and on behalf of any person or organization for which you act.

2. AMENDMENTS

Maroo may modify the provisions of this Agreement from time to time, provided, however, that such changes will not impose additional obligations on you with respect to actions you took before the change became effective, unless you specifically agree to such changes (for example, by confirming a installment payment schedule).

If Maroo makes any changes to this Agreement that it deems to be material, we will make a reasonable effort to inform you of such changes. Your continued use of the Services after a modification signifies your agreement to the modification.

3. OVERVIEW OF MAROO SERVICES

Maroo enables wedding and events related businesses to seamlessly manage projects and relationships by providing booking, invoicing, and financial tools designed to fortify their businesses. Furthermore, Maroo enables couples and hosts to pay for their events or weddings in a simple and fair manner.

You may register on the Maroo Platform as either a wedding or event related business (“Vendors”) or a couple, host, or related party (“Clients”).

Depending on the designation of your account, different Services may be available to you. Certain Services may also only be available subject to the payment of such fees detailed on the Platform.

Maroo Payments

Maroo provides Services, which generally enable Vendors to collect and receive payments for products and services provided to both individual consumers and businesses. A Vendor uses the Maroo Platform to create and send an invoice to a Client or to another Vendor in order to request a payment. Vendors may also request payment from consumers or businesses that have not registered for Maroo’s Services (collectively, “Users”). For access to and use of the Services, Maroo may charge Users a fee (the “Fee”) at the time of payment submission.

Maroo Book Now Pay Later

Maroo offers a Service to Clients, which enables them to pay over time. When a Client pays with Maroo Book Now Pay Later (BNPL), you may be offered a closed-end installment payment product with terms expressed in your Payment Agreement. These may be offered by a Bank Partner or Third Party. Payment options may vary based on invoice price, Vendor, and may not be available in all states. If you choose to use Maroo BNPL, either Maroo, the Bank Partner or Third Party, depending on the product, will pay the Vendor on your behalf in exchange for your promise to repay the same amount plus a finance charge, where applicable.

4. ELIGIBILITY

Maroo makes the Platform and the Services available to Vendors, Clients, and Users that are at least 18 years of age or older (19 years of age in Alabama or if you are a ward of the state in Nebraska). Residents of certain states may not be eligible for installment payments products offered by a Bank Partner or Third Party. If you are not 18 years old, you may not use the Maroo Services.

You must be a human to open an Account. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.

6. MAROO PAYMENTS

Appointment of Maroo as a Payment Agent

As a Vendor and in connection with enabling you to receive payments from your Clients through Maroo Payments, you hereby appoint Maroo as your limited authorized payment collection agent (“Payment Agent”) for the purpose of receiving, holding, and settling payments to you pursuant to this Agreement. Vendors agree that payment received from Clients by Maroo will be considered the same as payment made directly to Vendors, regardless of whether Maroo remits or fails to remit the payment to Vendors. Vendors also authorize Maroo in its role as Payment Agent to:

  • Hold, disburse and retain payments on behalf of Contractors pursuant to these Terms of Service, or otherwise instruct Maroo’s Partner Banks or Third Parties to do so;
  • Issue refunds to Clients at the request of Vendors; and
  • Manage Client credit and debit card chargebacks on behalf of Vendors.

Vendors further authorize Maroo to delegate its Payment Agent obligations under these Terms of Service to certain of its affiliated entities (“Affiliates”) both within and outside the United States; provided, that, Maroo will remain liable for discharge of its obligations under these Terms of Service by such Affiliates. Vendors represent and warrant that they have carefully read and understood these Terms of Service and accept them fully. Clients’ payment obligations to Vendors will be satisfied upon receipt of payment by Maroo (or its Partner Bank or Third Party, as applicable), and Maroo (or its Partner Bank or Third Party, as applicable) will be responsible for remitting funds to Vendors in the manner described in these Terms of Service.

In the event that Maroo (or its Partner Bank or Third Party, as applicable) does not remit any such amounts to a Vendor, the Vendor will have recourse for non-payment solely against Maroo, and not Clients.

Vendors agree that Maroo may describe or otherwise reflect the Terms contained herein in any Terms of Service, receipts, disclosures, or notices including, but not limited to, receipts provided to Clients that Maroo may deem necessary or prudent.

Linking and Verifying a Vendor Bank Account for Disbursement

Once you have created an Account, you will need to establish and maintain a debit-enabled account (“Payout Account”) at a U.S. depository financial institution to facilitate payment of fees to Maroo and the transfer of amounts due to you. You irrevocably authorize Maroo and our Partner Banks to immediately debit your Payout Account for any and all fraudulent transactions, for current and past due fees, fines, penalties, or any amounts you owe us. You agree that Maroo shall not incur any liability for any loss, costs, or fees incurred by you that are the result of such debits by us.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your Payout Account information, for example, by requiring you to provide us a canceled check, by debiting and crediting micro-deposits into your Bank Account, including on a recurring basis, or through Plaid Technologies, Inc. (“Plaid). By using the Services, you grant Maroo and Plaid the right, power, and authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the relevant financial institution. You agree to your personal and financial information being transferred, stored, and processed by Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy available at https://plaid.com/legal. Please note that payment methods may be saved to your Account for easy reference and submission.

You agree that you will not change your Payout Account without our prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If you do not obtain such prior consent, Maroo may terminate your Account and Services.

Adding or Linking a Payment Method for Payment Acceptance

When adding or linking a payment method to your Account in order to pay Vendors, you agree to the following:

  • You have the authority to disclose the payment method information and to bind the person or organization for which you act;
  • You authorize the initiation of debit or credit entries, as applicable, to the payment methods in accordance with instructions inputted through the Services, and, if necessary, the initiation of adjustments for any transactions debited or credited in error;
  • You acknowledge that transactions initiated from your payment method must comply with the provisions of U.S. law;
  • Your authorization will remain in effect until not later than thirty (30) days after Maroo receives written notice from you of your desire to cancel;
  • You agree that you have sufficient funds in your linked Account to cover the payment to the Vendor.

Existing Payment Method Terms

To facilitate payments through the Service, Maroo partners with a variety of Payment Service Providers, including payment gateways, money transmitters, wallet providers, credit and debit card payment processors, merchant acquirers, and merchant acquiring banks  (“Payment Service Providers”).

All payment method usage associated with payments submitted via Maroo Services are subject to existing terms for your payment method, including any relevant credit or transactional limits, credit and interest terms, and rewards programs. Where applicable, Maroo (and to the extent applicable, the Partner Banks) retains all rights and authority for the treatment of your payment methods via the Services, which may supersede your payment method program terms.

For example, Maroo may impose a transactional limit on your payment method for payments via the Services, which may be a lower value than the amount allowed by your program. We may, in our sole discretion, impose limits on the size, frequency, and timing of payments sent through the Services, on a per transaction or a cumulative basis, and change those limits at any time.

Payment Submission and Authorization

When you submit a payment through Maroo Services, you authorize Maroo to debit your payment method. You also authorize Maroo to credit your payment method for payments returned to us.

Where you choose to pay via ACH, you authorize Maroo to debit your payment method in increments, as a lump sum, or recurring debit entries to your payment method we have on file. You also give Maroo the right to resubmit any ACH debit that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, or any other reason. You agree that payment transactions will be governed by the rules established by NACHA, the Electronic Payments Association, as in effect from time-to-time, under which you are an "Originator", Maroo is a "Third Party Service Provider," and Partner Banks are the "Originating Depository Financial Institutions." You are responsible for all claims, demands, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) that result directly or indirectly from your failure to perform your obligations under the NACHA rules and you indemnify Maroo and the Partner Banks for the same.

Payments submitted for immediate processing will require successful payment method authorization at time of submission, while payments marked for future processing will require payment method authorization on the process date indicated for the payment. If a payment method fails to authorize, Maroo will be unable to continue to process your payment, and Maroo will notify you via the Services.

ACH Origination Agreement

The ACH Network allows you to collect funds through debit or credit Transactions from US bank account holders. Terms specifically applicable to initiation of ACH Network Transactions are stated below. As with all Payment Methods, your use of Maroo products that provide access to the ACH Network via submission of ACH Debit and ACH Credit entries, bind you to these ACH Payment Terms (these “Terms”) as part of the Maroo Services Agreement. By using Maroo Services you accept and agree to comply with all of these terms.

Nacha Rules: When submitting Transactions over the ACH Network, you must comply with the Nacha Operating Rules.


ACH Entry Authorizations: When you send or collect funds with ACH credit and debit entries via the Maroo Services, Maroo is operating as a Third Party Sender and you understand and accept your role as the Originator (as defined in the Nacha Operating Rules), including to authorize the banks that Maroo’s ACH Service Provider uses to enable the submission of Transactions over the ACH Network (“ODFI Banks”) on your behalf to and from your Customer’s bank accounts. When you use Maroo to initiate ACH Network Transactions with your Customers, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have all necessary authorizations and approvals from your Customers for Maroo to transmit an ACH Network debit or credit Transaction to the Customer’s bank account and (b) the information you provide Maroo about each ACH Network Transaction is accurate, timely and complete. Maroo is not liable for any return, reversal or other failure (or any related costs) arising from your acts and omissions, including failure to obtain your Customer’s authorization for an ACH Network Transaction.


Timing of Funds, Limits and Charges: Maroo and its ACH Service Provider will make funds available as per settlement timings agreed to in relation to the type of ACH transfer selected. Maroo may require separate or pass through origination limits as set up by the ACH Service Provider. Charges for your origination of ACH, returns and other ACH related services will be billed to you by the Maroo.


Termination and Suspension: Without limiting Maroo’s rights to terminate or suspend your access to the Services under the Maroo Services Agreement, Maroo may also terminate or suspend your access to the ACH Network for your violation of the Nacha Operating Rules, including if an ODFI Bank requires your suspension or termination, or if you exceed acceptable limits on returns.


Requests for Compliance Information: By collecting funds via ACH debit Transactions and as required by the Nacha Operating Rules, you will provide information and documentation requested by Maroo, Maroo’s ACH Service Provider, or ODFI Banks for the purpose of ensuring your compliance with these Terms and the Nacha Operating Rules upon reasonable notice. You agree to cooperate with any request for information necessary to complete ACH risk assessments and audits in a timely manner. Maroo may suspend or terminate your access to the ACH Network immediately if you fail to provide information or documentation requested.


Warranty: You warrant to Maroo, as an Originator of Transactions made under the Nacha Operating Rules, that no Transaction delivered to Maroo, will cause Maroo, its ACH Service Providers, or ODFI Banks to be in violation of any regulation or sanction administered by a Governmental Authority or otherwise cause Maroo, its ACH Service Providers, or ODFI Banks to be in violation of an laws of the United States.


Nested Third Party Senders: You must not submit ACH Network Transactions as a Nested Third Party Sender (as defined in the Nacha Operating Rules) through the Maroo Payments Services.

Scheduled Payments

Payments may be submitted with a process date in the future (“Scheduled Payments”), but must be assigned to a payment method at time of submission which remains valid through the payment process. The details of a Scheduled Payment, including associated Fees, are locked in at time of submission, except where noted otherwise.

Prior to its process date, a Scheduled Payment may be canceled or edited via the Services. Editing a Scheduled Payment is functionally treated as the deletion of the original Scheduled Payment and creation of a new Scheduled Payment, and accordingly may result in alterations not specifically requested including but not limited to recalculation of associated fees and rates (e.g. foreign exchange conversion rates) and reiteration of any applicable payment review processes.

Settlement and Payout

For Vendors, Maroo will, with its Partner Banks, arrange to deposit funds to the bank or other financial institution account that you designated Payout Account. You affirm that you are authorized to initiate settlements to and debits from the Payout Account, and that the Payout Account is owned by you and titled in your legal or trade name.

If you update your Payout Account (including via the Dashboard) then you must ensure that you continue to comply with the requirements of this section. We may require you to provide us with documentary proof demonstrating your compliance with this section, and your failure to provide such proof will constitute a breach of this Agreement.

The term “Payout Schedule” refers to the time it takes for us to deposit funds into your Payout Account. Maroo offers one (1) business day payouts. However, please be aware that a Payment Method Provider, a Payment Method Acquirer, or the financial institution holding your Payout Account, may delay settlement for any reason. We are not responsible for any action taken by the institution holding your Payout Account to not credit the Payout Account or to otherwise not make funds available to you as you expected.

We reserve the right to change the Payout Schedule or to suspend settlement to you. If we exercise our right to withhold a Payout for any reason, we will communicate the general reason for withholding the Payout and give you a timeline for releasing the funds.

Incorrect Payout

The information required for payout will depend on the financial institution holding the Payout Account. As a Vendor, please make sure that any information about the Payout Accounts that you provide to us is accurate and complete. If you provide us with incorrect information (i) you understand that funds may be settled to the wrong account and that we may not be able to recover the funds from such incorrect transactions and (ii) you agree that you are solely responsible for any losses you or third parties incur due to erroneous settlement transactions, you will not make any claims against us related to such erroneous settlement transactions, and you will fully reimburse us for any losses we incur.

Reconciliation; Error Notification

As a Vendor, if you suspect an error in your payment transaction statement or history, you must notify us in writing. You must include in your written request for investigation: (a) your name; (b) business name; (c) Bank Account number; (d) the dollar amount of the asserted error; (e) a description of the asserted error; and (f) an explanation of why you believe an error exists and the cause of it, if known. Maroo must receive your written notice within forty-five (45) days after you received a statement containing the asserted error. If you fail to notify us within forty-five (45) days, you will be deemed to have accepted the fees and charges as set forth in the applicable statement and we will have no obligation to investigate the error or refund any such amounts to you. We will advise you of the results of our investigation if we conduct one, and if we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you an explanation of the determination. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

Chargebacks and ACH Returns

Clients or Vendors may dispute transactions, which may lead to a payment transaction being reversed or returned, otherwise known as a “Chargeback” for credit card payments or “ACH Return” for ACH payments. Maroo does not decide what transactions are charged back, and Maroo does not determine the ultimate resolution of a Chargeback or ACH Return. Your Clients or Vendors may be able to successfully charge back a transaction even though you have provided your goods or services.

As the ultimate payment recipient, you are responsible for all Chargebacks and ACH Returns and will be liable to us for the total amount of any sale for which a customer disputes the validity of the sale, plus up to $25 and any applicable Chargeback or ACH Return fees imposed by us or a third party, including VISA and MasterCard chargeback arbitration fees. You authorize us to offset from incoming transactions and to debit your Payout to recover any Chargebacks or ACH Returns plus any applicable fees imposed by us or a third party, including VISA and MasterCard chargeback arbitration fees. You authorize Maroo to submit documentation and other information to third parties on your behalf in order to dispute the Chargeback or ACH Return. You agree to fully cooperate with us in complying with third party rules regarding Chargebacks or ACH Returns, including any request for documentation. We may suspend Maroo Payments and stop releasing funds until you reimburse us for all unpaid Chargebacks or ACH Returns. You must not re-enter or reprocess any payment transaction that has been charged back or returned.

In case of unsuccessful withdrawal of disputed funds from your account, you agree to refund Maroo within 7 business days from the initial attempt failed.

Excessive Chargebacks and ACH Returns

Excessive Chargebacks and ACH Returns are a breach of this Agreement and cause for immediate termination. “Excessive Chargebacks and ACH Returns” means chargebacks or ACH returns during any monthly period and for any one of your Accounts, including: (a) Chargebacks and/or retrieval requests in excess of 1% of the average monthly dollar amount of transactions; (b) ACH returns in excess of 0.5% or returns in excess of 3% of the average monthly dollar amount of transactions (including, but not limited to non-sufficient fund codes); or (c) processing an average transaction above the processing limits or amount approved by us. You authorize us, upon the occurrence of Excessive Chargebacks, to take additional actions we may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, suspension of Maroo Services.

Refunds

In certain situations, you may allow a refund to your Clients or Vendors by contacting Maroo at [email protected]. The availability of refunds and processes for their execution are dependent on the payment type used by your Client or Vendor. Partial or full refunds are offered for card payments; and full refunds for bank transfers (i.e. ACH payments). As a Vendor, you are responsible for any fees related to the refund (e.g. processing fees for the initial transactions).

Unusual Activity; Holds; Risk Reviews

If we believe there is unusual activity on your Account, we may, in our sole discretion, temporarily suspend your access to Maroo Services, place holds on your payouts that delay or suspend disbursement, and/or terminate your Account. Unusual activity includes, but is not limited to: (a) changes in your average transaction amount or processing pattern; (b) monthly percentage of different transaction types; or (c) Excessive Chargebacks or ACH Returns. We may, in our sole discretion, place holds on your transactions or Merchant Account to otherwise protect against potential risk or fraud. Reasons for holds are proprietary to Maroo and may be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to: (i) no or limited payments processing history with Maroo; (ii) past performance or standing of your Account, including return or dispute rates; or (iii) sales of higher risk goods or services. You understand and agree that our evaluation of risk may result in your ineligibility for certain Services, such as those enabling faster funding than standard deposit timing. We will notify you in the event that you do not qualify for these Services and / or if you later become eligible. Maroo also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to review and either clear or cancel each transaction. If a transaction is cleared after review, we will provide notice to you. Otherwise, we will cancel the transaction and funds may be returned. Maroo will have no liability for any losses, either direct or indirect, which you may attribute to any hold, review, or other delay or suspension of funds disbursement. If we hold or review a transaction, you acknowledge that your Client’s or Vendor’s product or service must be delivered just as if you have been paid. Further, if a transaction is subject to a hold or review, you acknowledge that fees associated with the transaction will be charged.

Your Insolvency; Bankruptcy

As a Client or Vendor, you must immediately notify us of your insolvency or of any bankruptcy, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or similar action or proceeding initiated by or against you, whether or not such action or proceeding is under court supervision. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the commencement of any such of these actions or proceedings, or upon your insolvency. You will include us on the list and matrix of creditors as filed with the Bankruptcy Court or as filed or submitted in any other insolvency-related action or proceeding, whether or not a claim by us may exist at the time of filing or commencement of such proceeding; failure to do so will also be cause for immediate termination of this Agreement or for any other action available to us under this Agreement, under applicable Rules, or under applicable law. You acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes an executory contract to make a loan, or extend other debt financing or financial accommodations to or for the benefit of you, and, as such, cannot be assumed or assigned in the event of your bankruptcy or any other insolvency-related proceeding or otherwise, without our expressed written consent.

Rates range from 0% to 30% fixed Annual Percentage Rate ("APR"), depending on the payment terms you selected while paying with Maroo BNPL (0% APR installment plans are offered as a default option, but in case you need to increase the payment terms, fixed APR will be applied and indicated for your attention. Installments plans are simple interest payment plans, which means that interest, if any, accrues daily on the unpaid principal balance, up to the amount of the finance charge, until you pay the amount in full.

Finance Charge

Installment payment plans may be subject to a finance charge based on the applicable interest rate. Maroo’s Partner Bank or Third Party will always disclose the specific finance charge before you agree to any Installment Payment plan.

Late Payment Fee

Maroo assesses a late payment fee of $25 on all Maroo BNPL installment payments.

Partial Payments

For the certain transactions, you may be required to make an immediate, one-time partial payment of the total price (a "Partial Payment"). If you are required to make a Partial Payment, you acknowledge that, notwithstanding the fact that Maroo is not a party to the initial agreement between you and the Vendor (i.e. your purchase), Maroo acts as the Vendor’s payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting Partial Payments from you on behalf of the Vendor. Upon your payment of a Partial Payment to Maroo, your payment obligation to the Vendor for the Partial Payment is extinguished and Maroo is responsible for remitting the Partial Payment to the Vendor. In the event that Maroo does not remit a Partial Payment to the Vendor, the Vendor will have recourse only against Maroo and not you.

Repayment Methods

You may use one of the acceptable methods of payment set forth in your relevant Installment Payment Plan Agreement to make one-time transactions to pay your account as payments become due or you may set up automatic account payments. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement will be construed as applying to the extent inconsistent with the Installment Payment Plan Agreement related to your product or service.

Currently, acceptable methods of payment are:

  • Credit Card - Payments made by credit card will be subject to the terms and conditions established by us and the credit card issuer.
  • Debit Card - Payments made by debit card will be subject to the terms and conditions established by us and the debit card issuer. If charges cannot be processed through your debit card.
  • Bank Transfer - You may pay your account balance by authorizing an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction from your bank account

If charges cannot be processed through your credit card, debit card, or if your bank draft or electronic funds transfer is returned for insufficient funds or charged back, you will be responsible for any fees incurred (including a fee of $25), and Maroo will have no liability with respect thereto.

Collection

You agree to allow Maroo to send you payment reminders from time-to-time. Notwithstanding whether you have consented or withdrawn your consent to the Maroo Electronic Disclosures, you agree that payment reminders may take the form of any available communication. You also agree that if you fail to pay an amount owed to Maroo pursuant to this Agreement, Maroo may engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from you. These collection efforts may involve contacting you directly, submitting your information to a collections agency, or taking legal action. FAILURE TO PAY MAY AFFECT YOUR CREDIT SCORE.

Communication & Notification

You agree that Maroo may provide you communications about your Account and a Maroo Service electronically or through phone calls or in writing. Standard mobile, message, or data rates may apply and you are responsible for any such fees. Maroo reserves the right to close or limit access to your account or a Service and immediately collect all due amounts if you withdraw your consent to receive electronic or other communications or if you revoke access to any third party site on which the Maroo Service relies or if any such service should revoke or cancel your account on that site.

  • Any email address you provide to us or one of our merchants;
  • Automated dialer systems and automatic telephone dialing systems; and
  • Pre-recorded or artificial voice messages and other forms of communications.

You understand and agree that Maroo may monitor or record telephone conversations you or anyone acting on your behalf has with Maroo or its agents for quality control and training purposes or for its own protection. You acknowledge and understand that, while your communications with Maroo may be overheard, monitored, or recorded without further notice or warning, not all telephone lines or calls may be recorded by Maroo, and Maroo does not guarantee that recordings of any particular telephone calls will be retained or retrievable.

15. MANDATORY ARBITRATION

THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE BY USING THE MAROO SERVICE OR THE PLATFORM. Unless you are a covered borrower as defined by the Military Lending Act, 10 U.S.C. § 987, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, except as explicitly provided in this Agreement, any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Platform, your use of the Maroo Services, a product offered or provided by or through the Platform or Service, or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services that cannot be resolved directly between you and Maroo shall be resolved by non-appearance based binding arbitration, rather than in court.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this includes any claims based in contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited, but an arbitrator can award an individual the same damages and relief as a court and must apply and follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Either you or we can initiate arbitration through the alternative dispute resolution provider the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") pursuant to the then-current Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the "Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. 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. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Maroo will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone or electronic means and/or shall be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner of which shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.

The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the arbitrator determines that an in- person hearing is necessary based on the request of one of the parties and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Maroo each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial and agree to proceed only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The parties hereby appoint the arbitrator the exclusive power to rule on any challenges to the requirement for the use of alternative dispute resolution process in these terms.

We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to obtain interim or preliminary injunctive relief necessary to protect the rights or property of you or Maroo and all of its partners, affiliates, shareholders, employees, and agents of any kind (together, our "Affiliates").

Except as explicitly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all claims you bring against Maroo must be resolved in accordance with this Section. Any claim filed or brought contrary to this Section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section, Maroo may recover from your attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,500 per claim, provided that Maroo first has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

16. ARBITRATION RESTRICTIONS

You and Maroo agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between Maroo and you individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

You and Maroo agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Maroo's intellectual property rights; and (2) any claim for injunctive relief.

Except as provided in Section 16 (Mandatory Arbitration) the laws of the State of Delaware govern your access to, and use of, the Services and the terms of this Agreement.
