3. Eligibility.

You must be a resident of the United States, at least 18 years and the age of majority in your State of residence, and you must register for an account (your “Account”) to use the Service. The Service will only be available for use in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, you are not permitted to use the Service. Some features, such as the ability to send money to an Entertainer from your Account, may be available only if you provide us with certain information about you and we are able to verify your identity.

4. Your Account

4.1 Account Information.

You represent and warrant that you own the email or mobile phone number you register with and all information entered or collected in the course of creating your Account and any information you subsequently add or update from your settings (“Account Information”) is true and accurate. To register, open, use, or upgrade an Account, CSMP may require that you submit certain Account Information, including but not limited to your name, the last four digits of your social security number, date of birth, bank account, debit card and/or credit card information, and a social media account to CSMP. You represent and warrant that you own or control all the Account Information provided to CSMP.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Account of anyone who provides inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information, or who fails to comply with the account registration requirements.

4.2 Your Account.

When you first open your Account, it will be a “Restricted Account.” A Restricted Account has all the features and functionality described in these Terms of Service except that you cannot make a payment to an Entertainer or receive a payment from the Audience. If you have a Restricted Account and you attempt to make a payment to an Entertainer through the Service, then you will be given the option of upgrading your Account to an Unrestricted Account (as defined below).

4.3 Unrestricted Account.

To upgrade your Account from a Restricted Account to an account that gives you all the features of a Restricted Account and allows you to make a payment to an Entertainer (“Unrestricted Account”) you may either link your account to (a) an external, U.S.-issued bank account (an “Eligible Bank Account”) (subject to these Terms) to make a payment to an Entertainer; (b) a valid debit card issued by a U.S. bank or other financial institution (collectively, the “Networks”) or (c) a valid credit card issued by the Networks. If you decline to provide us with the information that we request or if we cannot verify your identity to our satisfaction (in our sole judgment and discretion) for any reason, then your Account will remain a Restricted Account and you will not be able to use the Services to make payments to Entertainers.

4.3.1 For external bank accounts, STAKS uses Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”) to gather your data from your financial institutions. By using our Service, you authorize STAKS and Plaid the right, power, and authority to act on your behalf and transmit your personal and financial information from your financial institution.

6. Fraudulent Transactions

The Service is a money transmission service. As a result, fraudulent transactions may result in the loss of funds with no recourse. An “Unauthorized Transaction” occurs when money is sent from your Account that you did not authorize and that did not benefit you. For example, if someone steals your password, uses the password to access your Account, and sends a payment from your Account, an Unauthorized Transaction has occurred. Please let us know if you believe there is an Unauthorized Transaction on your Account. You could lose all the money in your Account. We will use commercially reasonable means aimed at protecting you from Unauthorized Transactions in your Account, but we are not liable to you for losses from an Account due to an Unauthorized Transaction unless we were able to confirm to our satisfaction that the transaction was an Unauthorized Transaction, and we are required by applicable law to reimburse such losses. The following are NOT considered Unauthorized Transactions: (a) if you give someone access to your Account (e.g., by giving them your login information) and they use your Account without your knowledge or permission, unless you have notified us that transfers by that person are no longer authorized; or (b) If you, or someone else with whom you are acting in concert, act with fraudulent intent. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that we will not have liability if we do not complete a transaction to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to these Terms if: (i) through no fault of ours, you have insufficient funds in your Account to complete the transaction; (ii) the Service was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction; or (iii) if circumstances beyond our control prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

7. Recovery of Funds

You give us permission to recover amounts you owe by debiting funds available in your Account or any other account you may have with CSMP. This may involve us making attempts to recover less than the full amount you owe to us. We might contact you or take other legal actions to collect amounts due. You authorize CSMP to recover funds from you in accordance with these Terms and any other agreement you have with us, including if you owe amounts to us or for reason of fraud or illegal activity. You authorize CSMP to debit, charge, setoff against and otherwise recover funds from your Account, your Eligible Bank Account, and any payment instrument, linked bank, depository and other account registered in your Account. Your authorization will remain in full force and effect until the later of closure or termination of your Account, or the disbursement of all funds held on your behalf. Further, in the event that any attempt to recover funds from you should fail, your authorizations hereunder include your grant to CSMP of new, original authorizations to recover all or less than all of the amount you owe us or belong to us. You authorize CSMP to take the above steps without prior notice to you and irrespective of (i) whether we have made demand under these Terms or any other agreement you have with us; and (ii) whether the obligation is contingent, matured or unmatured. Your authorization hereunder includes all authorizations to take the above steps in complete compliance with the Network Rules and the NACHA Rules. You agree that your grant of the authorizations hereunder has the same legal effect as if you had signed a paper containing the same terms. If CSMP is unable to recover the funds by these means, CSMP may attempt to contact you or may take other legal actions to collect the amounts due, to the extent allowed by applicable law.

8. Compliance with Governmental Authorities

CSMP may freeze, withhold, or remit funds in your Account in response to a facially valid subpoena, court order, search warrant, or other binding order from a governmental authority, including but not limited to tax levies or wage garnishment orders.

9. Limitations on Use

CSMP may limit the funding sources available for a specific transaction at any time in its sole discretion. You agree that you are independently responsible for complying with all applicable laws in all of your activities related to your use of the Service and for all communications you send through the Service.

You further agree that in connection with your use of the Service, or in the course of your interactions with CSMP, a user or a third party, you will not (a) use your Account or the Service in a manner that CSMP, or the Networks reasonably believe to be an abuse of the payment card system or a violation of Network Rules, or (b) use the Service to make transactions for the sole purpose of earning rewards, perks, miles, points, etc. with your Account.

We reserve the right to block, refuse, or reverse any transaction, in our sole discretion. We will notify the affected parties promptly if we decide to do so, but notification is not required if the transaction is prohibited by these Terms or Applicable law. Neither we nor third parties to whom we assign or delegate rights or responsibilities will be liable for any claims or damages resulting from prohibited transactions. All costs for research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or misdirected prohibited transactions will be your sole responsibility and not ours.

10. Limitations on Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

We will not be liable, for failure to complete transactions in the following circumstances: (a) Through no fault of ours, there are insufficient funds in your Account to complete the transaction; (b) The information supplied by you is incorrect, incomplete, ambiguous or untimely; (c) There is a hold or your funds are subject to legal or administrative process or other encumbrance restricting their use; (d) We have reason to believe the requested transaction is an Unauthorized Transaction; (e) Circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, power failure, strike, labor dispute, critical service provider failure, computer breakdown, telephone line disruption, government or regulatory action, or a natural disaster) prevent or delay the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or (f) Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.

CSMP respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects that you do the same. It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of subscribers who infringe the copyrights of others. You may not upload, download, post, publish, transmit, reproduce, or distribute in any way, files, material, information, software or other material obtained through the Service that is protected by copyright or other proprietary right or derivative works with respect thereto, without obtaining permission of the copyright owner or other right holder. CSMP has the right, but not the obligation, to remove from the Service any files, material, information, software or other material CSMP believes is or may be, in its sole discretion, infringing or otherwise in violation of the rights of others.

15. Security

We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.

27. Third Party Services

The Service may contain features designed to interoperate with products, applications, or services not provided by us including, without limitation, the products, applications and services provider by an authorized user (collectively, each a “Third Party Service”). To use such features, you may be required to obtain access to such Third Party Service from its provider, and may be required to grant us access to your account(s) on such Third Party Service. You shall provide, and shall cause the provider of the Third Party Service to provide, us with any reasonably requested information and materials needed to integrate the Third Party Service with the Service.

If you choose to use a Third Party Service with the Service, you grant us permission to allow the Third Party Service and its provider to access any data provided to us in connection with the Service as required for the interoperation of that Third Party Service with the Service. We are not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of such data resulting from access by any Third Party Service or its provider. Any acquisition by you of a Third Party Service, and any exchange of data between you and any Third Party Service or its provider, is solely between you and the applicable third-party provider. We do not warrant or support Third Party Service or other third-party products or services. Further, we cannot guarantee the continued availability of any Service features that interoperate with Third Party Service, and may cease providing them without being in breach of these Terms or entitling you to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Third Party Service ceases to make the Third Party Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to us.

28. Disputes

“Disputes” are defined as any claim, controversy, or dispute between you and CSMP, its processors, suppliers or licensors (or their respective affiliates, agents, directors or employees), including any claims relating in any way to these Terms or the Service, or any other aspect of our relationship.

29. Binding Individual Arbitration

29.1 Mandatory Arbitration; Exceptions and Opt-Out.

You agree that any Disputes will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). You will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide us with written notice to opt out of arbitration (“Arbitration Opt-out Notice”) by email at legal@stakspay.com or by regular mail to Cyber Secure Mobile Payments, Inc., 818 18th Ave S, Suite 1000, Nashville, TN 37203 within thirty (30) days following the date you first accept these Terms, or if you have not registered for an account, then within thirty (30) days following the date you first use our Service. If you don’t provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the Davidson County, Tennessee and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.

29.2 No Class Actions.

Further, unless we otherwise agree in a writing signed by an authorized representative, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any limitations set forth in this agreement to arbitrate on the right to arbitrate claims on a class or representative basis, or as part of a consolidated proceeding, as to a given claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee. All other claims will be arbitrated.

29.3 Rules.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Arbitration Agreement” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

29.4 Arbitration Process.

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. AAA provides a general form for a Demand for Arbitration and may provide a separate form for Demand for Arbitration for residents of a particular state, such as California. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law with at least 15 years of experience and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will Appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

29.5 Arbitration Location and Procedure.

Unless you agree with us otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that are submitted to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing, or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

29.6 Arbitrator’s Decision.

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. We will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration.

29.7 Fees.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, we will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

29.8 Changes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, if we change this “Arbitration Agreement” section after the date you accepted these Terms or access our Service, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to Cyber Secure Mobile Payments, 818 18th Ave S, Suite 1000, Nashville TN 37203 within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” listed at the beginning of these Terms or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and us in accordance with the provisions of this “Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you accepted these Terms or accessed our Service.

The Service may contain links to third party websites. The inclusion of any website link does not imply an approval, endorsement, or recommendation by CSMP. Such third party websites are not governed by these Terms. You access any such website at your own risk. We expressly disclaim any liability for these websites. When you use a link to go from the Service to a third party website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.
