(b) Authorization: By acknowledging and agreeing to the Agreement, you voluntarily, knowingly, and unconditionally authorize SeamlessChex to: electronically debit your account at your designated financial institution (your “Bank Account”) via ACH for each Transaction and direct your financial institution to respond to inquiries regarding your Bank Account. In addition to your account information, we may request additional information from you and/or your financial institution to process your Transaction, including, but not limited to, information about your Bank Account, information about your address, and/or other information necessary to initiate and/or complete the Transaction. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method(s) represented by any such Transaction Information.

A declined payment may be the result of insufficient funds in your Bank Account, a closed Bank Account, inability to locate your Bank Account, a dispute, or a reversal or denial for any reason by your financial institution. If your payment is declined for any reason, you will be notified via email, text message, and/or phone call; and, provided SeamlessChex has not identified that you have engaged in prohibited conduct, SeamlessChex will (i) disable your account and (ii) attempt to process the Transaction again (a “Retry”) using any and all payment options that have been connected to your SeamlessChex account. A successful Retry will resolve the declined payment. An unsuccessful Retry will result in your account to remain disabled until the payment is resolved.

The verification process may include sending you texts, voice calls, and/or security questions to answer.

You agree that as part of the verification process we may: (i) verify Bank Account information by crediting amounts between $0.01 and $1.00 to your Bank Account and then debiting equal amounts and requesting you to verify the amounts credited; and/or (ii) verify your Bank Account information by using your login credentials to your financial institution. We use these verification processes, for among other potential purposes, to validate your account and to screen for fraud. Outside of subsection (e)(i) above, we will not debit your Bank Account, except for to the extent such debit is related to a Transaction. You hereby grant us a limited power of attorney to initiate the actions in this section as part of the bank verification process and you agree that standard data and/or messaging rates (and any increases thereto) will apply when you use the Services on your cellular device, or otherwise.

That amount is also due immediately. You are responsible and liable for any fees, including attorney and collection fees, that SeamlessChex may incur in its efforts to collect any remaining balances from you. You also agree that you will be billed for and will pay any outstanding balances if you cancel any Service.

Article 17 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Arbitration
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflict of law provisions. Any action, proceeding, arbitration or mediation relating to or arising from this Agreement must be brought, held, or otherwise occur in the federal judicial district that includes New York. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES THAT ANY DISPUTE MAY BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. Any claim, dispute or controversy ("Claim") by either you or us against the other, or against the employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, beneficiaries, agents or assigns of the other, arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement or to our relationship, including Claims regarding the applicability of this arbitration clause or the validity of the entire Agreement, shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the Claim is filed, except as otherwise provided below. All Claims are subject to arbitration, no matter what theory they are based on or what remedy they seek. This includes Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or our negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other sources of law. Claims and remedies sought as part of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis, and the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator and will be limited solely to the Claim between you and us. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis. If either party prevails in the arbitration of any Claim against the other, the non-prevailing party will reimburse the prevailing party for any fees it paid to the American Arbitration Association in connection with the arbitration, as well as for any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such arbitration. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. Any arbitration hearing at which you appear will take place at a location within the federal judicial district that includes New York. This arbitration agreement applies to all Claims now in existence or that may arise in the future. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent any party's use of (or advancement of any Claims, defenses or offsets in) bankruptcy or repossession, replevin, judicial foreclosure or any other prejudgment or provisional remedy relating to any collateral, security or other property interests for contractual debts now or hereafter owed by either party to the other. IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND SEAMLESSCHEX MAY OTHERWISE HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN LITIGATION FILED IN COURT BY OTHERS (INCLUDING CLASS ACTIONS), BUT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE, THOSE RIGHTS, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, ARE WAIVED AND ALL CLAIMS MUST NOW BE RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOU AND SEAMLESSCHEX AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Article 18: Force Majeure
Any delay or failure of either party to perform its obligations will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused solely and directly by an event beyond such party’s control, without such party’s fault or negligence and that by its nature could not have been foreseen by such party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (which events may include natural disasters, embargoes, explosions, riots, wars, or acts of terrorism) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). However, your financial inability to perform; changes in cost or availability of materials, components or services; change in market conditions; or labor disputes or other contract disputes involving or affecting you will not excuse performance by you under this section, and will not constitute a Force Majeure Event. A party shall give the other party prompt written notice of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in a Force Majeure Event, and the anticipated duration of such Force Majeure Event. A party shall use all diligent efforts to end the Force Majeure Event, ensure that the effects of the Force Majeure Event are minimized, and resume full performance under the Agreement as soon as commercially reasonable. We are permitted (but not required) to procure substitute goods or services for any goods or services that are delayed or unavailable as a result of a Force Majeure Event.
