You are responsible communicating the proper sales tax amount to LevelUp at the time the order is initiated. The amount of applicable sales tax as calculated by you will be included to the Net Sales Proceeds transferred by LevelUp pursuant to these Terms for you to pay to the appropriate taxing authority.

3. Rewards Campaigns.

The limitations and exclusions of liability in this paragraph shall apply notwithstanding the basis for the liability or damages, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, under statute, or otherwise, and whether or not a party knew the damages may have been incurred. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

6. Termination of Services

Except as may be provided expressly in any agreement between you and LevelUp, LevelUp reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, and at any time, your use of and/or access to the LevelUp Sites and/or Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

You may terminate this agreement by for any reason upon one hundred twenty (120) days advance notice to LevelUp subject to your discontinuing the use of all LevelUp Sites and Services.

7. Additional Terms.

7.1. Complete Agreement. These Terms, and any Agreement into which these Terms are incorporated expressly, represent the entire Agreement of the parties as to its subject matter, and supersedes all prior written and oral representations and discussions between the parties. No waiver by any party of a breach of any provision by any other shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition. These Terms do not create any joint venture or agency. Neither Party has the power or right to bind the other.

7.2. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party to any person or entity without the express written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that the Agreement may be assigned to a majority owned subsidiary or affiliate, or to a successor in connection with a change of ownership or sale of substantially all of a Party’s assets. The Agreement shall survive any such change.

7.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its choice of law rules and without regard to conflicts of laws principles except that the Arbitration provision below shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be reformed to be valid and enforceable while reflecting the intent of the Parties to the greatest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that if the court invalidates the prohibition on class, aggregated, mass or consolidated proceedings, then the Arbitration provision shall also be invalid.

7.4. ARBITRATION. All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Agreement, or the LevelUp Sites, Services, or LevelUp Platform, including the validity, applicability, or enforceability of this provision or any provision herein, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect and the further procedures set forth herein. (For information on the AAA and its rules, see https://www.adr.org/). The arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Arbitrator shall determine that that venue is not reasonably convenient to all parties, in which case the Arbitrator shall determine another venue that is. In the event that the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, and the parties are unable to agree to a substitute, a substitute shall be appointed by the court. The Arbitrator shall have authority to issue any and all remedies authorized by law. Notwithstanding any rules of the AAA to the contrary, any claims shall be adjudicated on an individual basis only, and Client WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A PROPOSED CLASS, ON AN AGGREGATED OR MASS BASIS, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR TO CONSOLIDATE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES THERETO. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to these Terms, unless the Arbitrator shall determine otherwise, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may file an individual claim in any small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its subject matter jurisdiction if such court has personal jurisdiction. LevelUp does not hereby waive any defense that such jurisdiction may be lacking in Client’s state. Without derogation of the parties’ obligation to arbitrate as set forth herein, for any claims other than those in small claims court, jurisdiction for any court proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms or the LevelUp platform shall be vested exclusively in, and venue shall be laid in, the state or federal courts sitting in either or Boston, Massachusetts, except that, following confirmation of an arbitration award in a state or federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, a judgment arising therefrom may be executed in any court of competent jurisdiction.
