Opening a Keys® Account

To receive access to or use the Services, you first need to submit an application for a Keys Account. As part of such application, you must provide all information we request, which may include Company Data and Personal Data, and connect at least one Linked Account. At all times, you must maintain at least one Linked Account. You may also need to provide documentary information used to verify Company Data and Personal Data (such as corporate registration certificate, proof of address, tax id, or personal identification). Use of certain Services or features may also require that you permit Keys to access Company Data and Personal Data through Third-Party Services. At any time, including if you request access to additional features or Services, we may require additional information and documentation that we or our Financial Institution Partners deem necessary for compliance and underwriting. We provide Company Data and Personal Data to Financial Institution Partners and Third-Party Service Providers to determine your eligibility for Services and Cards. We may also request information from credit reporting agencies using Company Data and Personal Data, and may report the performance of your account to one or more credit reporting agencies. We, Financial Institution Partners and Third-Party Service Providers may approve or deny your application(s) or grant you provisional access to the Services, Third-Party Services or your Keys Account while your application is pending additional review. We may deny applications, interrupt provision of the Services to you, or suspend or close your Keys Account where Company Data or Personal Data is incomplete, inaccurate or out of date. If a deficiency results in suspension or closure of your Keys Account, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with Notice. If your business was referred to Keys, you acknowledge and agree that Keys may provide the status of your application and limited Company Data about you to the Keys customer or partner that referred you, which may include
(a) notice that you successfully opened a Keys Account and/or met other criteria required by the referral link or other referral method, such as completing a minimum required payment; or aggregate spend data or total spend volumes as required to determine partner incentives.

Important Information About Procedures For Opening A New Account

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 person (individual or business) who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open a Keys Account or request access to certain Services, we will ask for the name, address, date of birth, and other information to identify you and the owners and control persons for your business. We may also ask to see a driver's license or other identifying documents. We may share this Company Data and Personal Data with Financial Institution Partners and Third-Party Service Providers for these purposes..

Fees

Some Services may have associated transaction fees which Keys will disclose in advance of charging. Disclosure may be provided in the Agreement (including any applicable Keys Terms or an order document), by Notice or prior to affirmative agreement through the Services.

Managing your Keys Account

You must specify at least one Administrator to manage your Keys Account when submitting your Application. Administrators can add, remove, or manage additional Administrators and Users; request and manage Cards; set or change per-User spending limits; view transactions; run reports and download statements; provide, view or update Company Data and Personal Data; connect Linked Accounts, Third-Party Services, and other accounts to your Keys Account; provide authorization to debit Linked Accounts; consent to new or updated terms and conditions and Supplemental Terms; and perform other tasks on your behalf. You are responsible for
(a) any actions or failure to act on the part of Administrators, Users, and those using credentials issued to Administrators or Users to access Company's Keys Account; and compliance with the terms and conditions for any Third-Party Services enabled, accessed or used through your Keys Account. All potential Users will be required to accept and comply with User Terms to become Users, and all Users that are authorized to use Cards or other payment tools may also be required to accept and comply with terms presented or required by Financial Institution Partners, Keys or Third-Party Service Providers.

Security and Monitoring your Keys Account

You will keep your Keys Account secure and only provide access to individuals that you have authorized and meet all applicable requirements under the Agreement. You will immediately disable User access to the Services if you know or believe a User’s or Administrator’s access credentials or your Keys Account has or may have been compromised or has been or may be misused; and you will promptly notify us (via the Services or by contacting our support team) of any known or reasonably suspected unauthorized access or use.

Authorized Users

Your authorization of a User will allow them to use the Services and access certain functionality of your Keys Account. You are responsible for (a) ensuring that Users are aware of our rights and comply with your obligations under the Agreement, including Section 1.7 (Requirements and Prohibited Activities) below; (b) notifying Users of and administering your corporate expense and spend management policies; (c) ensuring the payment information for all payees is complete and correct; and (d) resolving any disputes relating to your maintenance or administration of your expense and spend management policies, including when you elect to use the Services to request or receive reimbursements from User accounts.

Requirements and Prohibited Activities

Only United States Entities may apply for a Keys Financial Account. Companies registered outside the United States, as well as consumers, sole proprietors and unincorporated partnerships, are not permitted to use, or attempt to open or use, a Keys Financial Account. Foreign offices or Company Affiliates of United States Entities may only use the Services and be issued Cards subject to any requirements imposed by Keys and each applicable Financial Institution Partner. You are and will remain fully responsible for all use of the Services and compliance with the Agreement, including acts or omissions of a Company Affiliate or any User or other person associated with Company or a Company Affiliate. Company shall not, and shall not permit any other entity or person to: (a) use the Keys Account, Cards, or Services for (i) any expenses other than Company's or a Company Affiliates’ bona fide business expenses, (ii) any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by the Agreement, the Card Terms or any Payment Network rules, (iii) any personal, family, or household use, or (iv) any activities not for the benefit of the Company or a Company Affiliate; (b) provide, provide access to, or use for the benefit of an individual, organization, or country that is blocked or sanctioned by the United States -- including those identified by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) -- the Keys Account, Cards or Services; (c) permit use of the Keys Account, Cards, or Services by unaffiliated third parties; (d) modify, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, copy or disassemble Keys Property; (e) register, attempt to register, or claim ownership in Keys Property or portions of Keys Property; or (f) use the Keys Account in connection with any prohibited activities identified in the Prohibited Activities List, or any other restricted category or business activity as determined by Keys or any Financial Institution Partner in their sole discretion ((a) through (f), collectively, “Restrictions”). Keys and our Financial Institution Partners may be subject to regulation and acceptable use and risk management policies that require us to strictly enforce the Restrictions and prevent any activities that violate or could potentially violate the Agreement. We may therefore limit, suspend or terminate your Keys Account, access to the Services or Cards if we believe in our reasonable discretion that the Agreement may be or was violated, if required by a Financial Institution Partner or government authority, if we suspect you are engaged in fraudulent or illicit activities, if we believe you are creating an undue risk to us or others, or to comply with applicable laws or regulations. Without limiting any of your indemnification or other obligations to us, you agree to pay all Fines imposed on Keys or any affiliate, officer, employee, agent or representative thereof by Financial Institution Partners, regulators, or government agencies for your violation of this Section.

Identification as Customer

We may publicly reference you as a Keys customer on our website or in communications during the term of the Agreement. We will not express any false endorsement or partnerships. You grant Keys a limited license to use Company trademarks or service marks for this purpose. Please notify us if you prefer that we not identify you as a Keys customer and we will use best efforts to remove references to you on our website or in communications.

Ownership and License

s between you and Keys, Keys and licensors own all Keys Property, including all modifications, improvements, enhancements, derivative works, models or features. You, Administrators, and Users may use Keys Property only as and for the purposes provided in the Agreement. Keys grants you a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use Keys Property as permitted by the Agreement to the extent that Keys provides it to you via the Services. This license terminates upon termination of the Agreement unless terminated earlier by us in accordance with the Agreement.

Data and Privacy

You acknowledge, understand and agree that Keys, Financial Institution Partners and Payment Networks collect, process and share Company Data and Personal Data through your use of Cards, the Services, and Third-Party Services. We may use and disclose Company Data and Personal Data (a) for identity verification and underwriting, establishment and adjustment of spend limits, spend and transaction analysis, fraud and loss prevention, and reporting; (b) to provide, maintain and improve the Services; (c) as required by law, Financial Institution Partners or Payment Network rules; (d) to report Company performance to credit reporting agencies and credit rating agencies, where appropriate; and (e) to enforce and protect our rights, including as needed in dispute resolution. To the extent applicable, Personal Data will be processed in accordance with and subject to the Data Processing Addendum ↗ and the parties will comply with the terms therein. Keys may also process Personal Data in accordance with the Privacy Policy ↗. Where Company Data or Personal Data is shared by us with our subcontractors, Keys will implement controls to reduce the risk of loss or accidental disclosure. Keys may generate, use and disclose De-Identified Data for Keys's own business purposes, including to develop and improve Keys products, services, and marketing efforts (such as developing data products and providing aggregate insights to other customers). Keys may also include De-Identified Data in both public and private reports.

Beta Services

Keys may make Beta Services available to you, which may be subject to additional terms and conditions. You acknowledge that Beta Services may be unstable and subject to frequent, substantial interruptions and to erroneous output and operation. You agree not to use any Beta Services for any mission critical or other important functions without taking appropriate precautions to prevent loss or damage resulting from such use.

Feedback

Company hereby grants Keys a royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide, assignable and otherwise transferable license, with the unrestricted and unlimited right to grant sublicenses, (a) to create derivative works based upon any Feedback; and (b) to use, copy, display, publish, distribute or otherwise commercialize or exploit in any manner any Feedback or derivative works based thereon. You acknowledge and agree that any Feedback you submit is not Confidential Information. Keys has no obligation to compensate or credit you for Feedback you provide, regardless of whether or how we may use or otherwise commercialize or exploit it

International Payments

Keys may engage Financial Institution Partners (each, an “International Payments Partner”) to support international payments submitted through the Payment Services ("International Payments"). International Payments Partners that may provide you or your Company Affiliates with International Payment services are set forth in the International Payments Partner Schedule ↗ (as updated from time-to-time). We may provide our International Payments Partners with Company Data and Personal Data to enable the International Payments Partners to satisfy their security and customer due diligence requirements and deliver payments. While an International Payments Partner(s) may be your service provider for International Payments, you may contact Keys for support through our standard support channels. We may engage in collection efforts to recover, and you agree to pay us, any amounts owed in connection with an International Payment. In connection with an International Payment, you may have the ability to convert from one currency into another currency at a specified exchange rate. Exchange rates fluctuate so when you submit an International Payment request, you may only receive an initial estimate or range. We and our International Payments Partners may include a margin on foreign exchange, which is a platform cost paid by you. A margin is the difference between a wholesale or mid-market exchange rate and the actual exchange rate used to convert the payment.

Payments to Keys

Amounts Owed to Keys

You are responsible for payment in full of all Charges, Fees, Fines and other amounts (e.g., for bill payments or other amounts owed for use of Payment Services) owed by you to Keys. You may connect and change Linked Accounts through your Keys Account. All monetary amounts owed under the Agreement are stated in US Dollars (USD), unless otherwise specified by Keys through the Services or in applicable Keys Terms.

Set Off and Collections

Amounts owed under the Agreement may be collected from any Linked Account that is currently linked; or set off, debited, or collected from amounts in a Keys Account that you hold jointly with a third party or open in the future even if your original Keys Account has been closed. This right may be exercised against Company, its Company Affiliates, and any assignees for the benefit of your creditors or receivers. This right will exist even if we do not exercise it prior to the making, filing, or issuance of an arbitration demand, court order, or other action. Any failure to pay the full amount owed to Keys when required is a breach of the Agreement, pursuant to which Keys may declare the entire balance due immediately, regardless of the current billing cycle. You are responsible for all costs or expenses that we or Issuers incur collecting amounts owed but not timely paid, including legal or collections fees and any interest at the maximum rate permitted under law.

Authorization to Debit Linked Accounts

THIS SECTION PROVIDES AUTHORIZATION TO AUTOMATICALLY DEBIT YOUR LINKED ACCOUNTS FOR ALL AMOUNTS YOU OWE UNDER THE AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ IT THOROUGHLY. Authorization You authorize Keys, Financial Institution Partners, and their assigns to collect amounts owed under the Agreement by debiting funds from the Linked Accounts. If we use the Automated Clearinghouse ("ACH") network, debits will be governed by the rules established by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association ("NACHA") for business-related ACH debits. You also authorize us to debit your Linked Accounts for verification purposes (through microdeposits or similar means). Timing Your Linked Accounts may be debited for all payments and other amounts owed in connection with the Services or under the Agreement when due. For Cards, we will provide you Periodic Statements identifying Charges, Fees, Fines, or other amounts charged to your Keys Account, as well as any payments, refunds, Chargebacks granted or other credits to that account. Your Linked Account will be automatically debited for the full amount owed as identified in the Periodic Statement at the end of each billing cycle. Unless otherwise specified in any Keys Terms or a Notice provided by Keys, Periodic Statements will be issued monthly on the day specified in the Services. Your Keys Account will be debited on the next day that is not a weekend or bank holiday (“Business Day”) and show the credit on the next Business Day after payment is received. If we, the applicable Financial Institution Partner or an assign cannot or do not collect all amounts via debit, you agree to immediately pay all amounts owed as directed. You also authorize Keys, Financial Institution Partners, or their assigns to debit Linked Accounts immediately, on any date, where (a) the total aggregate balance of Linked Accounts is less than any balance minimums that we have communicated to you via the Services; or (b) we determine that Company poses or may pose an unacceptable risk to Keys, Financial Institution Partners, or third parties or no longer satisfies the underwriting criteria used to establish the spending limit for Company; however, Keys will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior Notice to Company. Withdrawing Authorization To cancel the debit authorization from a Linked Account, you must provide us (30) days advanced written notice and pay all amounts owed under your Keys Account immediately, including Charges and other amounts that may be included in future Periodic Statements. Such withdrawal of a debit authorization does not terminate the Agreement or your obligation to pay all amounts owed under the Agreement or the Card Terms. Company will be responsible for all costs of collections and damages under the Agreement if amounts owed are not paid by Company as described in the Agreement. Spending limits may be reduced (including to zero), and your Keys Account may be terminated or otherwise limited, if you withdraw debit authorization.

Additional Terms

Term and Termination

The Agreement is effective when you submit an application for a Keys Account or otherwise agree to the Platform Agreement and continues until terminated by either you or us, or in accordance with the Card Terms or as otherwise set forth in the Agreement. You may terminate the Agreement by paying all amounts owed and providing notice to us but remain responsible for all Charges, Fees, Fines, and other amounts owed. Your payment and Keys's acceptance of any amounts does not extinguish or waive any of Keys's rights hereunder. In addition to the termination rights provided elsewhere in the Agreement, Keys may terminate the Agreement without cause at any time by providing you thirty (30) days Notice. Upon termination, any related Cards will immediately expire. Sections 1.5 (Security and Monitoring your Keys Account), 1.10 (Data and Privacy), 1.12 (Beta Services), 1.13 (Feedback), 2.2 (Set Off and Collections), 2.3 (Authorization to Debit Linked Accounts), 3.1 (Term and Termination), 3.2 (Notice and User Notifications), 3.3 (Limitation of Liability), 3.5 (Disclaimer of Warranties by Keys), 3.6 (Indemnification), 3.7 (Governing Law), 3.8 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), 3.9 (Legal Process), 3.10 (Assignment), and 3.14 (Confidential Information) of the Platform Agreement; the provisions of the Card Terms that identify continuing obligations; and any other provisions of the Agreement giving rise to continued obligations of the parties will survive termination of the Agreement.

Notice and User Notifications

You consent to us providing Notices to you and User Notifications to Users electronically, including in each case those required by law, and your Users must consent to receiving User Notifications electronically. Such electronic Notices and User Notifications shall have the same effect as if provided in writing. Our Notices to you will be effective if provided to an Administrator, and User Notifications will be effective if provided to the applicable User, in each case electronically through the Services, via email, or (except as provided below) via SMS to the contact information provided to us by the Administrators or the User, as applicable; provided that any required Notice of any material change to or amendment of the Agreement under Section 3.12 (Changes to the Agreement) below will be provided to an Administrator. Company is responsible for coordination of all communication with Keys and represents and warrants it is entitled to make and receive any communication or Notice on each Company Affiliate’s behalf. Notices and User Notifications may include alerts about Services, Cards, Charges or other kinds of transactions and may provide Administrators and Users the ability to respond with information about your Keys Account. Administrators and Users may elect to not receive certain Notices or User Notifications through your Keys Account, but this will limit the use of certain Services and may increase the financial risks to Company. Administrators and Users are responsible for all costs imposed by Internet or mobile service providers for sending or receiving Notices electronically. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for ensuring that no Notices are blocked or delayed by any spam filter or otherwise. It is your responsibility to ensure that the contact information, including any email addresses, associated with your Keys Account remain current. Notify us immediately if you are or believe you are having problems receiving Notices. Except as may be otherwise specified in the Agreement, notices from you to Keys will be provided via the Services by contacting Keys through the Services, with a copy sent concurrently by email to support@KeysApp.com. Each notice will be deemed to be effective on the first Business Day following the day that you provide such notice as provided in this Section.

Limitation of Liability

Keys IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, DAMAGE ATTRIBUTABLE TO REPUTATIONAL HARM, PHYSICAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR L OST REVENUE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT OR TO THE SERVICES OR CARDS, INCLUDING YOUR OR A COMPANY AFFILIATE’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SERVICES OR CARDS, WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THE AGREEMENT FOR ALL CLAIMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO Keys IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT THAT IS THE BASIS OF YOUR CLAIM OR $10,000. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH YOUR CLAIM IS BASED.

Disclaimer of Warranties by Keys

THE SERVICES, Keys PROPERTY, AND BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU AS IS AND AS AVAILABLE. NOT ALL SERVICES MAY BE AVAILABLE OR OFFERED TO YOU. Keys DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO Keys PERSONNEL ARE AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE ANY SUCH WARRANTY (EXCEPT IN A WRITTEN DOCUMENT IDENTIFIED AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT AND EXECUTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF Keys AND AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF COMPANY). THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ARE NOT PROVIDED, CONTROLLED, RECOMMENDED OR ENDORSED BY Keys. Keys DOES NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM FAILURES OR LOSSES CAUSED BY OR RELATING TO THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. IF A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE IS CONNECTED TO OR USED WITH YOUR Keys ACCOUNT, COMPANY DATA AND PERSONAL DATA MAY BE ACCESSED AND RECEIVED BY Keys AND SHARED WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER’S USE, DISCLOSURE, MODIFICATION OR DELETION OF COMPANY DATA OR PERSONAL DATA. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, Keys DOES NOT GUARANTEE: (A) SERVICES OR DATA PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT WILL BE ACCURATE AND ERROR-FREE; (B) SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS OR REQUIREMENTS; (C) SERVICES WILL BE USABLE BY COMPANY, COMPANY AFFILIATES, ADMINISTRATORS, OR USERS AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (D) SPECIFIC MERCHANTS HAVE PROVIDED CORRECT PAYMENT INFORMATION OR WILL PERMIT PURCHASES USING CARDS ISSUED BY A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION PARTNER; AND (E) SERVICES WILL BE SECURE OR FREE FROM HACKING, VIRUSES, OR MALICIOUS CODE.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Keys, Financial Institution Partners and Third-Party Service Providers (including each such entity’s affiliates, directors, employees, contractors and agents) from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to third-party claims, proceedings, suits, or actions arising from, related to or involving (i) a Company Affiliate’s, an Administrator’s or a User’s actual or alleged breach of any legal obligation owed to Keys or others, including obligations arising out of the Agreement or the Card Terms; (ii) amounts owed by Company to third parties; (iii) acts or omissions of Administrators, Users, or other Company or Company Affiliate employees or agents in connection with use of the Services, the Cards or any Third-Party Services; and (iv) disputes over Charges or other payments between Company or a Company Affiliate and payees. Keys may defend any claim subject to indemnification hereunder, using counsel of its choice, and you will pay or promptly reimburse Keys for the reasonable fees of such counsel and all related costs and reasonable expenses.

Governing Law

The Agreement, and any dispute or controversy arising from or related to it, will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law provisions of any jurisdiction, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.8 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) below with respect to the Federal Arbitration Act.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Keys wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing any claim against the other (whether in court or arbitration), Company and Keys agree to try to first resolve the Dispute informally. To initiate such informal Dispute resolution, the party seeking to have its claim resolved (“Notifying Party”) will notify the other party (“Notified Party”) of the actual or potential Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). If Company is the Notifying Party, you will notify Keys by email addressed to support@keysapp.com. If Keys is the Notifying Party, Keys will provide Notice to you as set out in the Agreement. The Notifying Party will include in its Notice of Dispute the name of each party, the Notifying Party's contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute, and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the Notified Party to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised. If the Notified Party responds to the Notifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions to informally resolve the Dispute, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith. If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party's compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to timely respond as provided above), the Notifying Party may initiate a proceeding with respect to the subject Dispute as described below. Subject to the foregoing provisions regarding informal dispute resolution, each party to the Agreement agrees that any past, present or future Dispute, including those arising under or relating to breach of the Agreement, or any other transaction or matter involving you and Keys, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, unless the Dispute is subject to the “Arbitration Exceptions” below. If either party brings an action or otherwise commences any proceeding in any court or administrative agency involving, with respect to, or relating to such a Dispute (other than for an Arbitration Exception), such court or agency shall (i) stay such action or proceeding pending arbitration thereof; and (ii) award the party seeking such stay all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding. Further, if either party to the Agreement purports to initiate arbitration with respect to any Dispute without first providing an applicable Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the Agreement relating to the informal resolution of such Dispute, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim(s) that is the subject of such Dispute and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute. Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator. The single arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law 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 fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit, subject to any effective and enforceable limitations of liability or exclusions of remedies set forth herein. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this paragraph, if a party seeks injunctive relief that would significantly impact other Keys customers or users as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may -- if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators -- participate in the arbitral panel. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential. The arbitration will be held in English in Tucson, AZ, or, if you or Keys so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically or via other remote electronic means. If the value of the relief sought in arbitration is $100,000 or less, you or Keys may elect to have the arbitration based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding, subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing. Any such election by the petitioner must be made in or concurrently with the applicable Demand for Arbitration and any such election by the respondent must be made in or concurrently with the applicable answer. Filing costs and administrative fees shall be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules; provided that the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded. All provisions of the Agreement that relate to arbitration shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis and not as a class, group, or representative action (collectively, a “Class Action”). Further, neither you nor Keys may bring a claim as a part of a collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a "Collective Arbitration"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Keys will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. "Concurrently" for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither you nor Keys shall be entitled to consolidate, join or coordinate Disputes subject to arbitration hereunder with any disputes or claims by or against other individuals or entities, or to arbitrate any Dispute in a representative capacity, including as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. In connection with any Dispute that is subject to arbitration hereunder, any and all such rights are hereby expressly and unconditionally waived. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you and Keys each retain the right to bring either (i) an individual action in small claims court; or (ii) an individual debt collection action (the “Arbitration Exceptions”), even if the underlying Dispute is otherwise subject to arbitration hereunder. Either action may be brought in any court having jurisdiction. Additionally, if you breach any obligation to pay any amount owed to Keys when due, Keys retains the right to set off, collect or debit the amount owed as outlined in Sections 2.2 (Set Off and Collections) and 2.3 (Authorization to Debit Linked Accounts) above. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in the Agreement, if the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your Dispute, a judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, New York. Both you and Keys irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there for any Dispute; provided that either party may bring any action to confirm an arbitral award in any court having jurisdiction. The existence of and all information regarding any Dispute that is subject to arbitration hereunder will be held in strict confidence by you and Keys and will not be disclosed by either party hereto except as reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct of the arbitration or the confirmation or enforcement of any arbitral award. Any such permitted disclosure will, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, be made subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as the provisions of this paragraph. If any disclosure of information regarding any such Dispute is required under applicable law, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to obtain protective orders or otherwise to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

Legal Process

We may respond to and comply with any legal order we receive related to your Keys Account or use of the Services, including subpoenas, warrants, or liens. We are not responsible to you for any losses you incur due to our response to such legal order. We may take any actions we believe are required of us under legal orders including holding funds or providing information as required by the issuer of the legal order. Where permitted, we will provide you reasonable Notice that we have received such an order.

Assignment

Keys may assign, pledge, delegate or otherwise transfer the Agreement or its rights, powers, remedies, obligations, and duties of performance under the Agreement. Any such assignee will have all rights as if originally named in the Agreement instead of Keys. You may not assign the Agreement or any rights hereunder, or delegate any of your obligations or duties of performance, without Keys's express written consent.

Changes to the Agreement

We may modify the Agreement, including by deleting, modifying or adding provisions to the Platform Agreement or the Keys Terms, by posting an amended version. The amended version will be effective at the time we post it, unless otherwise noted. If such modifications constitute a material change to the Agreement, we will provide you with reasonable prior Notice before the modifications become effective as to you; provided, however, the modified Agreement may take effect immediately in exigent circumstances, including where required to comply with applicable law, regulation or Payment Network rules or to avoid or mitigate any material risk, loss or damage. If you do not accept any such modification, you must cancel your Keys Account. If you provide electronic acceptance of the modifications or continue to use the Services or Cards after any modification takes effect, you will be deemed to have consented to the revised Agreement.
