This Agreement describes the terms governing Your use of the Capitalize online services provided to You on our website, including the Content (defined below), updates and new releases, and service provided to You in our mobile application (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are licensed, not sold, to You for use only under the terms of this license, unless accompanied by a separate license agreement expressly superseding this Agreement in which case the terms of that separate license agreement will govern. Capitalize reserves all rights not expressly granted to You. This Agreement is not intended to limit any privacy policy or other terms and conditions that You agree to with Capitalize, or, where applicable, those from third parties whose branding appears on the website and services You may solicit (collectively, “Third Party Providers”), including where you have created an account with such Third Party Providers, and applications that post a link to this Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and any applicable Third Party Providers terms, the applicable Third Party Provider terms shall apply.

(“FCRA”), and that the Services do not constitute “consumer reports” as defined in the FCRA. You understand that any information you provide to Capitalize in order to use the Services has not been collected by Capitalize for credit purposes and is not intended to be indicative of any consumer’s credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, or other characteristics listed in Section 603(d) of the FCRA.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW THE SERVICES, CONTENT, AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND CAPITALIZE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, CONTENT, AND MATERIALS, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY OF, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, DATA LOSS, NON-INTERFERENCE WITH OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

CAPITALIZE, ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL SATISFY OR ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LEGAL OBLIGATIONS OR LAWS OR REGULATIONS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
r. Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CAPITALIZE, ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OR THEFT OF DATA, FAILURES OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, THE INTERNET, ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, CORRUPTION, SECURITY, VIRUSES, SPYWARE, LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUE, PROFITS OR INVESTMENTS, USE OF SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE THAT DOES NOT MEET CAPITALIZE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE MATERIALS, SERVICES, OR CONTENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF CAPITALIZE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

s. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Capitalize and its affiliates and suppliers harmless from any and all claims, liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of Your use of the Services, Content, and Materials or breach of this Agreement (collectively referred to as “Claims”). Capitalize reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims. You agree to reasonably cooperate as requested by Capitalize in the defense of any Claims.
t. Arbitration. Other than claims and controversies involving any (i) violation of any of the proprietary rights of Capitalize or Third Party Providers, including claims in equity or law to protect the intellectually property rights of Capitalize, Third Party Providers, or any of our service providers, (ii) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for injunctive relief, any controversy, claim or counterclaim, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (each, a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between You and Capitalize in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND CAPITALIZE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA 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 Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. Each Party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless such costs are determined to by the arbitrator to be excessive and in that case, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses (but not Your attorneys’ fees).The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either party.
The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in New York County, New York.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than 2 years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of You and Capitalize. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Consumer Rules, and the Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon You and Capitalize.
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) 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. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.
If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
u. Export Restrictions. You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the Services except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Services were obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals; or (c) the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List.
