Subscriber additionally represents and warrants that: (a) the individual completing the Agreement has the authority to legally bind Subscriber; (b) neither any Agreement, nor the performance of its obligations hereunder, shall knowingly make Checkout Champ liable to any third-party claim of interference with contract or business expectancies or any related or similar claims.

13. Disputes; Governing Law
13.1 Governing Law The laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will govern all Agreements without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. All Disputes arising out of (or relating to) an Agreement shall be resolved as set forth below.
13.2 Consent to Arbitration. IF EITHER YOU OR CHECKOUT CHAMP WANT TO BRING A CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER UNDER AN AGREEMENT, OR IF ANY DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS A RESULT OF AN AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE OFFERINGS, EACH PARTY AGREES TO USE ARBITRATION AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MEANS TO BRING SUCH A CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION OR TO RESOLVE SUCH A DISPUTE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THE FOREGOING AND THE MORE SPECIFIC ARBITRATION TERMS BELOW, EACH OF YOU AND CHECKOUT CHAMP ARE GIVING UP THEIR RIGHT TO FORM OR BE A PART OF A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. YOU ARE NOT, HOWEVER, WAIVING YOUR ABILITY TO RECOVER DAMAGES. ALTHOUGH ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE DIFFERENT FROM COURT PROCEDURES, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD YOU INDIVIDUALLY THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT, AND JUDGMENT ON THAT AWARD MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
13.3 Arbitration Procedures Except for the right of a party to seek injunctive relief in any U.S. court of competent jurisdiction, all claims, causes of actions and disputes (collectively, “Disputes”) that cannot be resolved by the parties after a good faith effort at negotiation shall be submitted for arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA will apply the Commercial Arbitration Rules (excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions). You can get procedures (including the process for beginning an arbitration), rules, and fee information from the AAA website (www.adr.org). The party seeking to commence arbitration must first notify the other party in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to Checkout Champ should be sent to our mailing address “ATTN: Arbitration Demand.” We will provide notice to your email address(es) and street address(es), if any, associated with the Agreement at the time the notice is sent, if any. The notice must describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. Regardless of such notice, no arbitration may be commenced if barred by the statute of limitations applicable to the Dispute. The arbitrators shall have no power to award punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages or damages in excess of the limitations set forth in Section 10. Even if other portions of these arbitration provisions are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the arbitrators shall not have the power award or impose any remedy that could not be made or imposed by a court sitting in the jurisdiction and venue agreed to by the parties and deciding the matter in accordance with the governing law agreed to by the parties. All aspects of the arbitration including the result shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed unless required by legal, audit, or regulatory requirements. The amount of any settlement offer made by either of us prior to arbitration cannot be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. The arbitration proceedings are subject to the US Federal Arbitration Act and hereby declared to be self-executing, and it shall not be necessary to petition a court to compel arbitration. The award of the arbitrators shall be binding and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Unless you and Checkout Champ agree otherwise, the arbitration will occur in U.S. English and take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Payment of any fees will be decided by the applicable AAA rules.
13.4 Class Action Waiver YOU AND CHECKOUT CHAMP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and Checkout Champ agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If for any reason the class action waiver set forth above cannot be enforced as to some or all of the Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that Dispute or portion thereof. Any Disputes covered by any deemed unenforceable class action waiver provision may only be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate will be binding and enforceable. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties do not agree to class arbitration or to the arbitration of any claims brought on behalf of others. You agree to defend Checkout Champ for any Class Actions that may arise as a result of your activities with your customers or members.
14. Miscellaneous
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service upon 90 days notice provided that such modifications shall apply only to subscriptions entered into thereafter. Headings and captions are used for convenience of reference only. The Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (each of which is an original and all of which will be deemed one and the same instrument). Notices must be sent by certified mail or reputable overnight courier to the address specified for each party and deemed given three business days after sending; provided, that we may rely on the email you provided to us to provide you with all notices required under the Agreement. Failures in performance beyond a party’s reasonable control are excused. Unenforceable provisions will be reformed to permit enforceability with maximum effect to the original intent. Waiver of a breach is not waiver of other or later breaches. Nothing in an Agreement is intended to create an agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise between the parties and neither party has the authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other. In performing its obligations under the Agreement, each party is acting as an independent contractor of the other and is solely responsible for the supervision, daily direction, and control of its own employees and for the payment of their salaries and benefits and related compensation (including employer-source deductions). We may issue a press release or make other public announcements concerning the Agreement. We may use your name and logo externally in a manner consistent with your corporate communications policies (to the extent made available to us) but in all events reasonably. To the extent required by the licensors of Third Party Software and Data we provide, such licensors are the express, intended third party beneficiaries of the Agreement.
15. Entire Agreement and Survival
The Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Offerings and supersede all previous or contemporaneous written and verbal agreements or proposals relating to the same subject matter and cannot be modified except by written agreement referencing the specific provisions modified. Purchase orders or similar documents issued by you or your agents are void and of no effect. If your procurement processes require use of an internal purchase order neither it nor its terms shall supersede, replace, or amend these Terms of Service. Sections 5, 8, 10, 12, 13 and those portions of Sections 6, 7.2, 14 and 15 that by their nature should survive, each shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms of Service.
