or if we have previously banned you from the Service

05 BOOKING AND TRANSACTING

Generally. You can access features through the Service that allow you to book or transact online with local businesses, such as registering for a collection event, scheduling a pick-up, drop-off, or an appointment. These features may be provided by circular.eco’s third-party partners, including through iframes or similar formats, and their use may be governed by different or additional terms presented to you as part of the booking or transaction process. Please note that such third-party partners and/or the transacting local businesses themselves are responsible for fulfilling the commitments from such bookings and transactions.

Payments and Cancellations. You, as a consumer, may be required to provide your credit card information to confirm a booking, and will be charged any applicable fees, including cancellation or no-show fees in accordance with the transacting local business’s cancellation policy provided at the time of booking. You agree that circular.eco may facilitate any such payments and charges on behalf of the transacting local business.

Subscription Services, you, as a business operator will provide complete and accurate billing information, including a valid payment method. For paid subscriptions, we will automatically charge your payment method on each agreed-upon periodic renewal until you cancel. You’re responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required. If your payment cannot be completed, we may downgrade your account or suspend your access to our Services until payment is received.

Cancellation. You can cancel your paid subscription at any time. Payments are non-refundable, except where required by law. These Terms do not override any mandatory local laws regarding your cancellation rights.

Changes. We may change our prices from time to time. If we increase our subscription prices, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and any price increase will take effect on your next renewal so that you can cancel if you do not agree to the price increase.

Coupons. Any coupons that circular.eco might issue for use in connection with the Service are non-transferable (unless required by law), not redeemable for cash or any other consideration, and automatically expire thirty (30) days after the issue date unless otherwise specified. If your Account is terminated you will not be able to use any unexpired and unused coupons, and any such coupons will automatically terminate and cannot be redeemed unless required by law.

Service Credits. You may need to prepay for Services through the purchase of credits (“Service Credits”) or we may provide you with promotional Service Credits from time-to-time.

These circular.eco Service Credit Terms (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and circular.eco, L.L.C. (or our affiliates) and govern your purchase, receipt, or use of any credit redeemable for our Services (“Service Credit”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms will have the meanings set forth in the agreement between you and circular.eco governing your use of the applicable Services (the “Agreement”).
We may offer the option to prepay for certain Services through the purchase of credits (“Prepaid Service Credits”). Prepaid Service Credits represent the amount you have paid in advance for use of the respective Services. Additional terms may apply to specific Services.
We may also offer Service Credits free of charge as part of a promotional program rather than for purchase (“Promo Service Credits”). Promo Service Credits will not be applied against any sales, use, gross receipts, or similar transaction based taxes that may be applicable to you.
Service Credits are not legal tender or currency; are not redeemable, refundable, or exchangeable for any sum of money or monetary value; have no equivalent value in fiat currency; do not act as a substitute for fiat currency; and do not constitute or confer upon you any personal property right. Service Credits are non-transferable and may be used only in connection with the applicable Service.
All sales of Services, including sales of Prepaid Services, are final. Service Credits are not refundable and expire one year after the date of purchase or issuance if not used, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase.
Your available Service Credit balance may be reviewed in your circular.eco account. You are solely responsible for verifying that the proper amount of Service Credits has been added to or deducted from your balance. Your Service Credit balance is not a bank account, digital wallet, stored value account, or other payment device.
We prohibit and do not recognize any purported transfers, sales, gifts, or trades of Service Credits. Evidence of any attempt to use, sell, or transfer Service Credits in any manner violates these Terms and may result in revocation, termination, or cancellation of the Service Credits and/or your use of the Services without refund and/or immediate suspension or termination of your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Services in accordance with the Agreement, including suspending or terminating your Service Credit balance, in compliance with applicable law.
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on our website or by emailing the email associated with your account. The modified Terms will become effective upon posting or, if we notify you by email, as stated in the email message. By receiving or using any Service Credit after the effective date of any modification to these Terms, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms.

Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes, which we will charge as required by applicable law in connection with the Services. We will use the name and address in your account as the place of supply for tax purposes.

Disputes and Late Payments. To dispute an invoice, you must contact [email protected] within thirty (30) days of issuance. Overdue undisputed amounts may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month, and we may suspend the Services immediately after providing written notice of late payment.

14 ARBITRATION, DISPUTES, AND CHOICE OF LAW

IMPORTANT: BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (TO THE EXTENT THE CLAIM QUALIFIES) AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; YOU AGREE THAT CLASS, CONSOLIDATED (EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED BELOW), OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS AND CIVIL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND ANY RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH ACTIONS ARE WAIVED BY EACH PARTY.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Customer Support. Contact us first if you have an issue with our Services.

You agree that if you have a question or concern about the Services, you will contact us first, prior to initiating any legal proceeding. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.

Arbitration Process. If a dispute can’t be resolved between us, it must be resolved through arbitration.

In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, you and we each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you and us, including any arising under or relating to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your and our relationship, through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. As explained below, the appointed arbitrator will have authority to enter all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. All arbitrations and small claims proceedings will proceed only on an individual basis. In no event may either we or you seek to resolve a dispute with the other as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding, except as provided for in the Section “Similar Claims” below. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator – and not any court – will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section, including any dispute regarding the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms and any other agreement between you and us. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section “arbitration” is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in Section ”location” below.

Applicability. Our agreement to arbitrate applies to almost all claims.

1. This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to:

(i) all claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;

(ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising); and

(iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.

2. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you or we may choose to bring:

A. an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies); or

B. enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court in the U.S. Patent or Trademark Office to protect your or our Intellectual Property Rights. "Intellectual Property Rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights.

3. In addition, the portion of any dispute or complaint relating to our participation in the US-EU or US-Swiss Privacy Shield Frameworks is subject to the Dispute Resolution section of our Privacy Policy before being subject to this Section.

Selection of Arbitrator. How the arbitrator will be selected.

We each agree to use the “rank and strike” process for selecting an arbitrator. In this process, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will propose at least ten candidates to potentially serve as the arbitrator. We will each respond directly to AAA (without copying one another) in a writing that (i) “strikes” up to three of those candidates, that is, removes them from further consideration, and (ii) ranks the remaining candidates in order of preference. AAA will average each of our rankings for each arbitrator and select as the arbitrator the candidate with the highest ranking.

No Class Actions. We both agree to not bring a class action.

YOU AND CIRCULAR.ECO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION “Similar Claims” BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY (IF WARRANTED) ISSUE ALL OF THE SAME RELIEF THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, INCLUDING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, IN FAVOR OF THE PARTY SEEKING SUCH RELIEF, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT AUTHORIZED BY LAW AND WARRANTED BY THE PARTY’S CLAIMS.

You and we each acknowledge that different arbitrations may present overlapping factual or legal issues. As such, to the fullest allowable extent, and subject to Section “Similar Claims” below, you and we each agree that in the event one of you or us initiates an arbitration against the other and we determine, in our sole discretion, that such arbitration presents one or more questions of fact or law that are also at issue in a pending arbitration between us and a third party (a “Similar Arbitration”), the arbitration involving you will, at our request, be assigned to the same arbitrator presiding over the Similar Arbitration and/or be paused until the Similar Arbitration is resolved. Any rulings in any Similar Arbitration will not be binding in the arbitration involving you.

Dispute Notice. Notice must be given when one of us intends to seek arbitration.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice to circular.eco must be addressed to the following address ("Notice Address") and must be sent by certified mail: circular.eco, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, PO BOX 452, Wilson, NY 14172 USA. Dispute Notices to you will be addressed to a mailing, home, or payment address currently on record with circular.eco and must be sent by certified mail. If we have no records of a physical address, our Dispute Notice may be delivered to your circular.eco account email address. The Dispute Notice must (i) reference to support record, describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If circular.eco and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is sent, you or circular.eco may commence an arbitration proceeding.

Arbitration Rules. These are the rules that will govern any arbitration proceedings.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, or, if the actions giving rise to the dispute or claim relate to your personal use of the Services (rather than business use), the Consumer Arbitration Rules (in each case, the "AAA Rules") of the AAA, as modified by this Section “arbitration”, and will be administered by the AAA and settled by a single arbitrator. (The AAA Rules are also available by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) All issues in dispute between the parties are for the arbitrator to decide, including, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section “arbitration”.

Arbitration Location. This is where the arbitration will take place.

If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the county of your residence or by phone, except that (1) if you are a Consumer whose residence is outside of the United States, the hearing will take place either in Buffalo, New York or by phone or videoconference, at your option and as permitted by the AAA Rules; and (2) in the case of Batch arbitration per Section “Similar Claims” below, the hearing will take place either in Buffalo, New York or by phone or videoconference, at the option of AAA. If your use of the Services is or was for commercial use, then unless circular.eco and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the United States in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, or in the case of Batch arbitration per Section “Similar Claims” below AAA will determine the location. If your claim is for ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or through a telephonic hearing. If your claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Similar Claims. Similar claims brought by the same or coordinated counsel will be batched together for efficient resolution.

To ensure efficient resolution, if within a 90-day period, 25 or more claimants submit Dispute Notices or file arbitrations raising similar claims (i.e., with the same or similar facts or events and legal issues) and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the disputes must be arbitrated in batches of up to 50 claimants each (“Batch”). Specifically, upon notice from either side, AAA must group the arbitrations into: (1) a single Batch (if there are 25-50 claimants), or (2) Batches of 50 claimants each, with a smaller, final Batch consisting of any remaining claimants (if there are more than 50 claimants). AAA shall thereafter provide for the resolution of each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with a single arbitrator appointed by AAA, one set of aArbitration fFees, and one hearing (if any) per Batch, to be held in Buffalo, New York, or by phone or videoconference at the option of the arbitrator. We both agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this process and minimize the time and costs of arbitration. Any challenges to administrative determinations by AAA shall be heard by a single process arbitrator. If this Section 9.9 is deemed unenforceable as to a particular claimant or Batch, then it will be severed as to that claimant or Batch, and those parties must arbitrate in individual proceedings.

Arbitration Costs. This is how we decide who’s responsible for the costs of arbitration and legal fees.

Payment of Costs and Expenses. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by AAA will be governed by the AAA Rules, provided that if you are initiating an arbitration against circular.eco and the value of the relief sought is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, then circular.eco will advance all filing, administrative and arbitration costs and expenses imposed by AAA (subject to reimbursement as set forth below). Further, if you are initiating an arbitration against circular.eco and your claim arises from your use of the Services as a Consumer, but the value of relief sought is more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and you demonstrate to the arbitrator that such costs and expenses would be more expensive than a court proceeding, then circular.eco will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses. In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration were frivolous at the time they were filed or that you continued to press those claims even after receiving information demonstrating that such claims were frivolous, you agree to reimburse circular.eco for all of the costs and expenses that circular.eco paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the AAA Rules.

Payment of Legal Fees. To the maximum extent allowed under applicable law, each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of attorneys' fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

Non-Qualifying Disputes. Disputes that can’t be arbitrated in accordance with this Section ”Arbitration” will be governed by Section 21.

In the event that any provisions of this Section 9 are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any claim or issue, then the entirety of this Section 9 will be null and void only with respect to such claim or issue and Section 21 “Applicable Law and Jurisdiction” will apply to such claim or issue in lieu of this Section 9. For the avoidance of doubt, for all claims and/or issues as to which this Section 9 is not found to be invalid or unenforceable: (a) this Section 9 shall apply in full to all such claims and/or issues, and (b) arbitration of all such claims and/or issues shall commence and be completed prior to any litigation on any non-arbitrable claims, including in the event that arbitrable and non-arbitrable claims or issues present overlapping factual and/or legal questions.

Disputes that can’t be resolved under our arbitration agreement will be resolved in the courts of Buffalo under New York law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the United States, you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law.

circular.eco is based in Wilson, New York. Any legal action against us related to our Services and not subject to the arbitration provisions in this Section of these Terms will take place in Buffalo. By agreeing to these Terms, you submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts (as applicable) in Erie County, New York.

Your Right to Opt Out. If you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in time.

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above in this Section by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to [email protected]. Please include the following in the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later); otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these provisions. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, circular.eco also will not be bound by them.
