You agree that we may initiate a charge to your Card on File monthly and as otherwise required for all Fees then owed under these Terms and Conditions. Should you fail to make a payment on a timely basis, or if your Card on File is not in good standing or has insufficient credit remaining, you hereby authorize us to initiate a payment of Fees via ACH from your bank account that you will designate for this purpose upon our request. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notifying us of any changes to such information. We may, but will not be required to, accept payments made by other credit card, debit card, wire transfer or ACH from another bank account, unless otherwise provided in a separate statement of work (“SOW”). We reserve the right to charge a fee for any of the foregoing payment methods, subject to applicable law.

You agree that the Administrator(s) shall immediately update your Expense Management Account for other changes in your contact information, including, but not limited to, current address information.  We may rely on the most current information provided for your Expense Management Account and any instructions purportedly made by the Authorized Person or the Administrator(s) to change the Administrator Email Address(es) or your other contact information without liability.  You also agree that if a third-party vendor (where permitted by law), the U.S. Postal Service or other national postal service, or one of its agents, notifies us of a change in your postal address, we may change your address based on that information.  We will have no liability to you for changing your address based on such information, even if such information is in error.

 

In our discretion and at our option, we may choose to send Communications in paper form from time to time, using U.S. mail.  For example, but without limitation, we may do this if we have a system outage, if we suspect fraud, or if for any reason your Administrator Email Address does not accept emails from us.

 

Regardless of how we choose to send Communications, we may send them to the attention of, or to the address associated with, any Administrator on the Expense Management Account (according to our records), and the Administrator(s) shall be responsible for providing copies of such Communications to any other Users on the Expense Management Account.  Any Communication we send to the attention of or to the address associated with an Administrator on the Expense Management Account will be considered notice to all Users on the Expense Management Account.  You are responsible for reviewing all Communications in a timely manner.  If any Communication is returned to us because of an incorrect, changed or expired email address or an incorrect postal address, in addition to any other consequences set forth in these Terms and Conditions, we may stop delivering Communications until a valid address or email address is provided.  We are not responsible for items lost in, or not delivered by, email or mail.  All Communications sent by us will be deemed received by you no later than twenty-four (24) hours after they are sent or posted, except for notice by postal mail, which shall be deemed received by you no later than three (3) business days after it is mailed.  You agree that the Administrator(s) shall establish Credentials (as defined below) and regularly log into the Software to view and update information about your Expense Management Account.

 

6.3       Cellular Phone Contact; Text Messages. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, including a number that you later convert to a cellular number, you are expressly consenting to receiving Communications, including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system, from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such communications for non-marketing purposes. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. From time to time, we may monitor and/or record telephone calls between you and us to assure the quality of our customer service or as required by applicable law.

You agree that the dollar limitation described in the preceding sentence is reasonable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and shall apply regardless of the number or nature of event(s) giving rise to our liability.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

14.1      Claims. You agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, including any claims under any statute or regulation (“Claims”) will be resolved pursuant to this “Dispute Resolution” provision.  For purposes of this “Dispute Resolution” provision, “you”, “we” and “us” includes any corporate parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related persons or entities.  You may not sell, assign or transfer a Claim.

 

14.2      Sending a Claim Notice. Before beginning a lawsuit, mediation or arbitration, you and we agree to send a written notice (“Claim Notice”) to each party against whom a Claim is asserted in order to provide an opportunity to resolve the Claim informally or through mediation. Go to americanexpress.com/claim for a sample Claim Notice. The Claim Notice must describe the Claim and state the specific relief demanded.  Notice to you may be sent to the address we have on file for you or as otherwise provided by you.  Notice to us must include your name and address and be sent to legalnotices@getcenter.com, with a copy to American Express ADR c/o CT Corporation System, 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005.  If the Claim proceeds to arbitration, the amount of any relief demanded in a Claim Notice will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator rules.

 

14.3      Mediation. In mediation, a neutral mediator helps parties resolve a Claim.  The mediator does not decide the Claim but helps parties reach agreement.  Before beginning mediation, you or we must first send a Claim Notice.  Within thirty (30) days after sending or receiving a Claim Notice, you or we may submit the Claim to JAMS (1-800-352-5267, jamsadr.com) or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (1-800-778-7879, adr.org) for mediation. We will pay the fees of the mediator.  You and we agree to cooperate in selecting a mediator from a panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings.

 

All mediation-related communications are confidential, inadmissible in court and not subject to discovery.

All applicable statutes of limitation will be tolled from the date you or we sent the Claim Notice until termination of the mediation.  Either you or we may terminate the mediation at any time.  The submission or failure to submit a Claim to mediation will not affect your or our right to elect arbitration.

 

14.4      Arbitration. You or we may elect to resolve any Claim by individual arbitration. Claims are decided by a single neutral arbitrator.

 

IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM.  FURTHER, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE GENERALLY SIMPLER THAN THE RULES THAT APPLY IN COURT, AND DISCOVERY IS MORE LIMITED.  THE ARBITRATOR’S authority is limited to claims between you and us alone.  claims may not be joined or consolidated unless you and we agree in writing. an arbitration award and any judgMent confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award.  the arbitrator’s DECISIONS ARE AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

 

14.5      Initiating Arbitration. Before beginning arbitration, you or we must first send a Claim Notice.  Claims will be referred to either JAMS or AAA, as selected by the party electing arbitration.  Claims will be resolved pursuant to this “Arbitration” provision and the selected organization’s rules in effect when the Claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with these Terms and Conditions.  If we choose the organization, you may select the other within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of our selection.  Contact JAMS or AAA to begin an arbitration or for other information.  Claims also may be referred to another arbitration organization if you and we agree in writing or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “FAA”).  We will not elect arbitration for any Claim you file in small claims court, so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court.  You or we may otherwise elect to arbitrate any Claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered. Either you or we may delay enforcing or not exercise rights under this “Arbitration” provision, including the right to arbitrate a Claim, without waiving the right to exercise or enforce those rights.

 

14.6      Limitations on Arbitration. If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis.  There will be no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other account holders or other persons similarly situated.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions and without waiving the right to appeal such decision, if any portion of this “Limitations on Arbitration” provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire “Arbitration” provision (other than this sentence) will not apply.

 

14.7      Arbitration Procedures. This “Arbitration” provision is governed by the FAA.  The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law, statutes of limitations and privileges. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Subject to the “Limitations on Arbitration” provision, the arbitrator may otherwise award any relief available in court. You and we agree that the arbitration will be confidential. You and we agree that we will not disclose the content of the arbitration proceeding or its outcome to anyone, but you or we may notify any government authority of the Claim as permitted or required by law.

 

If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing.  At any party’s request, the arbitrator will provide a brief written explanation of the award.  The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, subject to each party’s right of appeal as stated in this “Arbitration” provision or to challenge or appeal an arbitration award pursuant to the FAA.  To initiate an appeal, a party must notify the arbitration organization and all parties in writing within thirty-five (35) days after the arbitrator’s award is issued.  The parties will select a three-arbitrator panel administered by the selected arbitration organization to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to.  The appeal will otherwise proceed pursuant to the arbitration organization’s appellate rules.  Judgment upon any award may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration hearing will take place in New York, New York, but you may select to move the arbitration hearing to the federal judicial district of your residence.

 

14.8      Equitable Relief. Either party shall have the right to seek equitable relief (i) in arbitration prior to the arbitration proceedings to enforce the status quo, and (ii) in a court to enforce the confidentiality provisions set forth in these Terms and Conditions.

 

14.9      Arbitration Fees and Costs. You will be responsible for paying your share, if any, of the arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees) provided by the rules of the arbitration organization selected in accordance with this “Arbitration” provision.

 

14.10    Continuation. This “Dispute Resolution” provision will survive termination of your Expense Management Account, any legal proceeding to collect a debt, any bankruptcy and any sale of you or your assets (in the case of a sale, its Terms and Conditions will apply to the buyer). If any portion of this “Dispute Resolution” provision, except as otherwise provided in the “Limitations on Arbitration” provision above, is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this “Dispute Resolution” provision.

 

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

 

15.1      Right of Setoff. To the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under applicable law, we may, at any time without any prior notice or demand for payment, set off, recoup or apply any funds or property (wherever located and whether general or special, matured or unmatured) maintained or controlled by you or your current or former subsidiaries or Affiliates with us or our Affiliates, or any other indebtedness or claims of every nature and description of us or our Affiliates to you or your current or former subsidiaries or Affiliates (whether contracted by you alone or jointly or severally with another or others, absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, matured or unmatured), in each case, against any amounts due and unpaid to us or our Affiliates under these Terms and Conditions or any Other Agreement.  We shall also be entitled to retain and not repay any amount which may then be due by us to you or your current or former subsidiaries or Affiliates unless and until any such amount then outstanding has been repaid or discharged in full when due. “Other Agreement” means any agreement, other than these Terms and Conditions, between (i) you or any of your subsidiaries or Affiliates and (ii) us or any of our parent, subsidiaries or Affiliates.

 

15.2    Feedback. You may be asked to submit an evaluation of the Site, App, Software or Service (“Feedback”) to your Center representative from time to time.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

13.1      Claims. You agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, including any claims under any statute or regulation (“Claims”) will be resolved pursuant to this “Dispute Resolution” provision.  For purposes of this “Dispute Resolution” provision, “you”, “we” and “us” includes any corporate parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related persons or entities.  You may not sell, assign or transfer a Claim.

13.2      Sending a Claim Notice. Before beginning a lawsuit, mediation or arbitration, you and we agree to send a written notice (“Claim Notice”) to each party against whom a Claim is asserted in order to provide an opportunity to resolve the Claim informally or through mediation. Go to americanexpress.com/claim for a sample Claim Notice. The Claim Notice must describe the Claim and state the specific relief demanded.  Notice to you may be sent to the address we have on file for you or as otherwise provided by you.  Notice to us must include your name and address and be sent to American Express ADR c/o CT Corporation System, 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005.  If the Claim proceeds to arbitration, the amount of any relief demanded in a Claim Notice will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator rules.

13.3      Mediation. In mediation, a neutral mediator helps parties resolve a Claim.  The mediator does not decide the Claim but helps parties reach agreement.  Before beginning mediation, you or we must first send a Claim Notice.  Within thirty (30) days after sending or receiving a Claim Notice, you or we may submit the Claim to JAMS (1-800-352-5267, jamsadr.com) or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (1-800-778-7879, adr.org) for mediation. We will pay the fees of the mediator.  You and we agree to cooperate in selecting a mediator from a panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. All mediation-related communications are confidential, inadmissible in court and not subject to discovery. 

All applicable statutes of limitation will be tolled from the date you or we sent the Claim Notice until termination of the mediation.  Either you or we may terminate the mediation at any time.  The submission or failure to submit a Claim to mediation will not affect your or our right to elect arbitration.

13.4      Arbitration. You or we may elect to resolve any Claim by individual arbitration. Claims are decided by a single neutral arbitrator.

IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM.  FURTHER, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE GENERALLY SIMPLER THAN THE RULES THAT APPLY IN COURT, AND DISCOVERY IS MORE LIMITED.  THE ARBITRATOR’S authority is limited to claims between you and us alone.  claims may not be joined or consolidated unless you and we agree in writing. an arbitration award and any judgMent confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award.  the arbitrator’s DECISIONS ARE AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

13.5      Initiating Arbitration. Before beginning arbitration, you or we must first send a Claim Notice.  Claims will be referred to either JAMS or AAA, as selected by the party electing arbitration.  Claims will be resolved pursuant to this “Arbitration” provision and the selected organization’s rules in effect when the Claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with these Terms and Conditions.  If we choose the organization, you may select the other within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of our selection.  Contact JAMS or AAA to begin an arbitration or for other information.  Claims also may be referred to another arbitration organization if you and we agree in writing or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “FAA”).  We will not elect arbitration for any Claim you file in small claims court, so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court.  You or we may otherwise elect to arbitrate any Claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered. Either you or we may delay enforcing or not exercise rights under this “Arbitration” provision, including the right to arbitrate a Claim, without waiving the right to exercise or enforce those rights.

13.6      Limitations on Arbitration. If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis.  There will be no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other account holders or other persons similarly situated. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions and without waiving the right to appeal such decision, if any portion of this “Limitations on Arbitration” provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire “Arbitration” provision (other than this sentence) will not apply.

13.7      Arbitration Procedures. This “Arbitration” provision is governed by the FAA.  The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law, statutes of limitations and privileges. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Subject to the “Limitations on Arbitration” provision, the arbitrator may otherwise award any relief available in court. You and we agree that the arbitration will be confidential. You and we agree that we will not disclose the content of the arbitration proceeding or its outcome to anyone, but you or we may notify any government authority of the Claim as permitted or required by law.

If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing.  At any party’s request, the arbitrator will provide a brief written explanation of the award.  The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, subject to each party’s right of appeal as stated in this “Arbitration” provision or to challenge or appeal an arbitration award pursuant to the FAA.  To initiate an appeal, a party must notify the arbitration organization and all parties in writing within thirty-five (35) days after the arbitrator’s award is issued.  The parties will select a three-arbitrator panel administered by the selected arbitration organization to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to.  The appeal will otherwise proceed pursuant to the arbitration organization’s appellate rules.  Judgment upon any award may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration hearing will take place in New York, New York, but you may select to move the arbitration hearing to the federal judicial district of your residence.

13.8      Equitable Relief. Either party shall have the right to seek equitable relief (i) in arbitration prior to the arbitration proceedings to enforce the status quo, and (ii) in a court to enforce the confidentiality provisions set forth in these Terms and Conditions. 

 

13.9      Arbitration Fees and Costs. You will be responsible for paying your share, if any, of the arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees) provided by the rules of the arbitration organization selected in accordance with this “Arbitration” provision.

13.10    Continuation. This “Dispute Resolution” provision will survive termination of your Expense Management Account, any legal proceeding to collect a debt, any bankruptcy and any sale of you or your assets (in the case of a sale, its Terms and Conditions will apply to the buyer). If any portion of this “Dispute Resolution” provision, except as otherwise provided in the “Limitations on Arbitration” provision above, is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this “Dispute Resolution” provision.

    • the Account and Cards will not be used in any way that would cause Comdata or Issuing Bank to violate applicable Law.

3. Integration Partner; Authorization.  Customer has entered into a separate agreement with Center ID Corp. (“Integration Partner”) pursuant to which Integration Partner provides Account management services to Customer.  In connection with such agreement with Integration Partner and this Agreement, Customer authorizes Comdata to provide Integration Partner with (i) access to Customer’s Account, including certain administrative functions, and (ii) Customer’s transaction data.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that Comdata shall have no liability for any actions of Integration Partner with respect to the Account(s) and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Comdata from any damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising out of or in connection with any action by Integration Partner with respect to the Account(s).

4. Credit Limit; Credit Information.  If applicable, Comdata will establish a credit limit for the Account.  The credit limit is subject to periodic review and adjustment by Comdata in its sole discretion.  Customer shall provide Comdata with such financial information as Comdata may reasonably require, including, without limitation, annual financial statements within a reasonable time after Customer’s fiscal year-end and interim financial statements as requested by Comdata.  Customer authorizes Comdata to make any credit investigation Comdata deems necessary and appropriate and to request reports from credit bureaus in connection with this Agreement or any update, renewal or extension of credit. 

Comdata may furnish information with respect to Customer’s Account to credit bureaus or others who may properly receive such information.  Customer shall repay Comdata for all credit extended by Comdata and shall not allow its unpaid balance, including unbilled transactions, fees and other charges on the Account, to exceed its credit limit at any time.  If Customer exceeds its credit limit, then Comdata may require immediate payment, suspend further Service, and assess additional fees.

5. Security.  From time to time Comdata may request Customer to provide security for the performance when due of Customer’s obligations hereunder.  Customer understands and agrees that it is under no obligation to provide Comdata with such security, but the refusal to provide security when requested may result in adverse credit determinations by Comdata. Any security provided shall be in the amount and form as required by Comdata in its reasonable discretion.  The Account will not be available to Customer until such security is accepted by Comdata in its sole discretion.   

6. Payment Terms.  (a)  Non-Revolving.  Customer shall be responsible for credit extended on the Account.  This is not a revolving credit account and the total amount shown on each Account statement (the “Total Amount Due”) is due and payable by the date shown on the Account statement.  This amount includes transactions posted since the last statement date, applicable account and service fees, amounts past due, late payment charges, charges for returned checks and other applicable charges.  For international transactions, the transaction amount includes a MasterCard cross-border fee (currently 90 basis points) and a MasterCard currency conversion assessment fee (currently 20 basis points), which are subject to change in MasterCard’s sole discretion.

(a) Late Fee and Default Interest.  If Customer does not make full payment of the Total Amount Due on the due date, then Customer shall pay a late payment fee equal to the greater of: (i) $150 or (ii) 9.99% of the past due portion of the Total Amount Due (excluding any previous late fees and any default interest charges).  In no event will such late charge exceed the lesser of $5,000 or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  In addition, in the event the Total Amount Due is not paid by the due date, then Comdata may assess a default interest charge at a rate equal to the weekly average prime loan rate as published by the Federal Reserve plus 4% per annum.  The default interest is assessed on the Total Amount Due (excluding any late fees and any previous default interest charges) for the period of time such amount remains unpaid beyond the due date.  In no event will the default interest rate exceed the greater of 8% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no late fee or default interest charge will be applicable if the unpaid amount on the Account is less than $75.

(c) Returned Payment. Comdata reserves the right to charge a returned payment fee of twenty dollars ($20) or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, whichever is less.   

7. Statements; Reporting.  Billing statements and reports are available on-line.  Customer understands and agrees that Comdata’s ability to provide complete reporting information to Customer (or Integration Partner) is dependent on merchant providing complete purchase detail to Comdata.

8. Term; Termination.  This Agreement is for an initial term of one (1) year, commencing on the date this Agreement is executed by Comdata.  After the initial term, this Agreement shall continue until one party provides the other party with thirty (30) days written notice of termination. 

Comdata may immediately terminate this Agreement and the Account in the event the Network prohibits the Account, the Issuing Bank ceases to be a network member or the Issuing Bank ceases to be the Card issuer, provided that Comdata shall endeavor to provide Customer with advance notice of any such event.  In the event of Customer’s breach or default under the credit limit and payment terms of this Agreement, Comdata shall have the right to immediately suspend the Account until such breach is cured.  In the event such breach or default is not cured within a reasonable period of time, Comdata may thereafter terminate the Agreement.  In the event of any other default under this Agreement by either party, the nondefaulting party shall provide the defaulting party written notice of the nature of the default.  The defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the default notice to cure the default, and if the default is not cured within such time period, then the non-defaulting party may thereafter terminate this Agreement with written notice.  In addition to any other rights of termination, either party may terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice with respect to any individual state or jurisdiction if the terminating party can demonstrate, with documentary support, that changes in applicable laws or regulations or the interpretation thereof will make the performance of such party’s obligations hereunder not commercially feasible. The effective date of termination under the preceding sentence will be ninety (90) days from the date notice is delivered, or upon the effective date of the new law or regulation, whichever occurs sooner.  Customer’s obligation to pay for all outstanding amounts incurred before the effective date of termination shall survive termination.

Regardless of how we choose to send Communications, we may send them to the attention of, or to the address associated with, any Developer (according to our records), and the Developer(s) shall be responsible for providing copies of such Communications to any other Developers.  Any Communication we send to the attention of or to the address associated with a Developer will be considered notice to all Developers.  You are responsible for reviewing all Communications in a timely manner.  If any Communication is returned to us because of an incorrect, changed or expired email address or an incorrect postal address, in addition to any other consequences set forth in these Terms, we may stop delivering Communications until a valid address or email address is provided.  We are not responsible for items lost in, or not delivered by, email or mail.  All Communications sent by us will be deemed received by you no later than twenty-four (24) hours after they are sent or posted, except for notice by postal mail, which shall be deemed received by you no later than three (3) business days after it is mailed.  You agree that the Developer(s) shall establish Login Credentials and regularly log into the Software to view and update information about your Account.

For purposes of this “Dispute Resolution” provision, “you”, “we” and “us” includes any corporate parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related persons or entities.  You may not sell, assign or transfer a Claim.

 

13.2      Sending a Claim Notice. Before beginning a lawsuit, mediation or arbitration, you and we agree to send a written notice (“Claim Notice”) to each party against whom a Claim is asserted in order to provide an opportunity to resolve the Claim informally or through mediation. Go to www.americanexpress.com/claim for a sample Claim Notice. The Claim Notice must describe the Claim and state the specific relief demanded. Notice to you may be sent to the address we have on file for you or as otherwise provided by you. Notice to us must include your name and address and be sent to American Express ADR c/o CT Corporation System, 111 8th Ave., NY, NY 10011. If the Claim proceeds to arbitration, the amount of any relief demanded in a Claim Notice will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator rules.

13.3      Mediation. In mediation, a neutral mediator helps parties resolve a Claim. The mediator does not decide the Claim but helps parties reach agreement. Before beginning mediation, you or we must first send a Claim Notice. Within thirty (30) days after sending or receiving a Claim Notice, you or we may submit the Claim to JAMS (1-800-352-5267, jamsadr.com) or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (1-800-778-7879, adr.org) for mediation. We will pay the fees of the mediator.  You and we agree to cooperate in selecting a mediator from a panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings.

All mediation-related communications are confidential, inadmissible in court and not subject to discovery.

All applicable statutes of limitation will be tolled from the date you or we sent the Claim Notice until termination of the mediation. Either you or we may terminate the mediation at any time. The submission or failure to submit a Claim to mediation will not affect your or our right to elect arbitration.

13.4      Arbitration. You or we may elect to resolve any Claim by individual arbitration. Claims are decided by a neutral arbitrator.

IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM. FURTHER, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE GENERALLY SIMPLER THAN THE RULES THAT APPLY IN COURT, AND DISCOVERY IS MORE LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR’S authority is limited to claims between you and us alone.  claims may not be joined or consolidated unless you and we agree in writing.  an arbitration award and any judgMent confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award.  the arbitrator’s DECISIONS ARE AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

13.5      Initiating Arbitration. Before beginning arbitration, you or we must first send a Claim Notice. Claims will be referred to either JAMS or AAA, as selected by the party electing arbitration. Claims will be resolved pursuant to this “Arbitration” provision and the selected organization’s rules in effect when the Claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with this Agreement. If we choose the organization, you may select the other within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of our selection. Contact JAMS or AAA to begin an arbitration or for other information. Claims also may be referred to another arbitration organization if you and we agree in writing or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “FAA”). We will not elect arbitration for any Claim you file in small claims court, so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court. You or we may otherwise elect to arbitrate any Claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered. Either you or we may delay enforcing or not exercise rights under this “Arbitration” provision, including the right to arbitrate a Claim, without waiving the right to exercise or enforce those rights.

13.6      Limitations on Arbitration. If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis. There will be no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons similarly situated.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement and without waiving the right to appeal such decision, if any portion of this “Limitations on Arbitration” provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire “Arbitration” provision (other than this sentence) will not apply.

13.7      Arbitration Procedures. This “Arbitration” provision is governed by the FAA. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law, statutes of limitations and privileges. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Subject to the “Limitations on Arbitration” provision, the arbitrator may otherwise award any relief available in court. You and we agree that the arbitration will be confidential. You and we agree that we will not disclose the content of the arbitration proceeding or its outcome to anyone, but you or we may notify any government authority of the Claim as permitted or required by law.

If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. At any party’s request, the arbitrator will provide a brief written explanation of the award.  The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, subject to each party’s right of appeal as stated in this “Arbitration” provision and/or to challenge or appeal an arbitration award pursuant to the FAA. To initiate an appeal, a party must notify the arbitration organization and all parties in writing within thirty-five (35) days after the arbitrator’s award is issued. The parties will select a three-arbitrator panel administered by the selected arbitration organization to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to. The appeal will otherwise proceed pursuant to the arbitration organization’s appellate rules. Judgment upon any award may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction.

USA PATRIOT Act

Last updated 8/19/19

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each business who opens an account and the personal information of its owners and/or authorized representatives. In opening a CenterCard account this means that in addition to information about the business entity, we will also ask for identifying information about the business owner and any other individuals associated with the account. Such information will include the name, address, date of birth, social security number, tax status and other information that will allow appropriate identification to be made. We may also ask to see copies of driver’s licenses or other identifying material as part of the verification process.

Employee Cards may only be created for individuals of whom the business entity has validated the identity, using commercially acceptable screening methods such as employment screening and background checks and from whom business entity has acceptable documentation on file for the validation of the employee cardholder’s identity. Center Card reserves the right to request information and/or documentation to validate any employee cardholder’s identity if necessary and to close any employee cardholder’s Card if the cardholder’s identity cannot be validated and/or if issuing a Card to any individual may be a violation of the USA PATRIOT Act or any other applicable law.
