13. AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS BY REQUIRING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW) AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. ARBITRATION PROVIDES A QUICK AND COST EFFECTIVE MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES, BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT ALSO LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL.
a. Binding Arbitration. Any Claim (as defined below) raised by either you or Paymints.io against the other shall be subject to mandatory, binding arbitration. As used in this arbitration provision, the term “Claim” or “Claims”; means any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us relating in any way to your relationship with paymints.io, including but not limited to any Claim arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Services or this Website, or any information you receive from us, whether based on contract, statute, common law, regulation, ordinance, tort, or any other legal or equitable theory, regardless of what remedy is sought. This arbitration obligation extends to claims you may assert against paymints.io or its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, and agents. The term “Claim”; shall have the broadest possible construction.
b. No Class or Representative Arbitrations. The arbitration will be conducted as an individual arbitration. Neither you nor we consent or agree to any arbitration on a class or representative basis, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to proceed with arbitration on a class or representative basis. No arbitration will be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding without the consent of all parties. This arbitration provision applies to and includes any Claims made and remedies sought as part of any class action, private attorney general action, or other representative action. By consenting to submit your Claims to arbitration, you will be forfeiting your right to bring or participate in any class action (whether as a named plaintiff or a class member) or to share in any class action awards, including class claims where a class has not yet been certified, even if the facts and circumstances upon which the Claims are based already occurred or existed.
c. Right to Opt-Out of this Arbitration Provision. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXCLUDE YOURSELF. Opting out of the arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with paymints.io or the delivery of Services to you. In order to exclude yourself from the arbitration provision, you must notify paymints.io in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept this Agreement on the Website. To be effective, timely written notice of opt out must be delivered to 8000 Corporate Center Drive, Ste 204, Charlotte, NC 28226 and must include your name and address, as well as a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with paymints.io through arbitration. If you have previously notified paymints.io that you wish to opt-out of arbitration, you are not required to do so again. Any opt-out request postmarked after the opt-out deadline or that fails to satisfy the other requirements above will not be valid, and you must pursue your Claim in arbitration or small claims court.
d. Initiation of Arbitration. Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is filed unless any portion of those rules is inconsistent with any specific terms of this arbitration provision or this Agreement, in which case the terms of this arbitration provision and this Agreement will govern. The AAA’s rules may be obtained at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1 888 778 7879. To commence an arbitration, you must file a copy of your written arbitration demand with the AAA (either online at www.adr.org or by mail addressed to AAA, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043). The arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will have the power to award a party any relief or remedy that the party could have received in court in accordance with the law or laws that apply to the dispute, subject to any limitations of liability or damages that exist under this Agreement. This agreement to arbitrate involves interstate commerce and is made pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-16 (the “FAA”). Any claim or dispute as to the enforceability of this arbitration provision’s restrictions on your right to participate in or pursue a class action or class wide arbitration shall be decided by a court and not an arbitrator.
e. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. In the event you file a Claim in arbitration in accordance with these provisions, we will advance all arbitration filing fees if you ask that we do so, in writing, prior to the commencement of the arbitration. The payment of any such fees will be made directly by us to the AAA. Such requests should be mailed to 8000 Corporate Center Drive, Ste 204, Charlotte, NC 28226. We will also pay all arbitrator fees. If paymints.io prevails in the arbitration, then the arbitrator shall have the authority to require that you reimburse paymints.io for the filing fees advanced, but only to the extent such fees would be recoverable by us in a judicial action. You are responsible for all other fees and costs you incur in the arbitration, including attorney’s fees and expert witness fees, except that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party; (i) based on applicable law; (ii) under the rules of the arbitration administrator; or (iii) if the arbitrator rules in your favor and the arbitrator expressly determines that there is a good reason for requiring us to pay those fees and costs.
f. Continuation. This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) termination or changes in this Agreement or the relationship between you and us; and (ii) termination or changes in our providing any Services to you.
g. Small claims court. Notwithstanding anything in this section, either you or Paymints.io may bring an individual action in small claims court as long as (i) the claim is not aggregated with the claim of any other person, and (ii) the small claims court is located in the same county and state as your address that you most recently provided to Paymints.io according to Paymints.io’s records in connection with this Agreement.
14. Other Legal Terms
a. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision.
b. Notices. You may contact us here info@paymints.io or 1 888 921 1090, or via mail or courier at:
8000 Corporate Center Drive, Suite 204, Charlotte, NC 28226

You agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire, complete and exclusive agreement between you and paymints.io regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
d. No Waiver. Our failure to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent similar or other breaches.
e. Amendments to This Agreement. We reserve the right to modify, supplement, or replace all or any portion of the terms of this Agreement at any time by posting it on the Website.
f. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. The courts of Delaware, or the federal court of the United States situated therein, as applicable, shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any action, claim, demand, proceeding or lawsuit whatsoever arising under or in relation to this Agreement or its subject matter. The parties irrevocably agree, consent and submit themselves to the subject matter and personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purposes.
