Customer is responsible for any liability arising from inaccurate or incomplete Order information.

In the event Customer makes the Nash Platform available to Merchants with which Nash does not have a direct contractual relationship regarding the use of the Nash Platform, Customer shall enter into an agreement with such Merchants regarding Merchant’s use of the Nash Platform that include terms at least as protective of Nash as the terms contained in these Terms (each, a “Merchant Agreement”) before making the Nash Platform available to such Merchants, and such agreement shall contain terms.

F. Non-Solicitation. During Customer’s use of the Nash Platform and for 1 year thereafter, Customer shall not initiate, accept or provide any services that are similar to the Nash Platform to or from any Merchant that has used the Nash Platform in connection with these Terms or any Delivery Provider that has provided delivery services.

Customer represents and warrants that executing this Agreement with Nash shall not cause Customer to be in breach of any other agreement with a third party (“Conflicting Agreements”), including but not limited to agreements with third party delivery providers containing exclusivity or right-of-first-refusal provisions, and that Customer shall not enter into any such Conflicting Agreements during the Term of this Agreement.

4) Delivery Terms

Orders may be subject to the terms and conditions imposed on such Order by the applicable Delivery Provider, such as the Delivery Provider’s cancellation and refund policies, as well as terms of carriage (“Delivery Provider Terms”) and that the fulfillment of the applicable Order by such Delivery Provider may be contingent upon Customer’s acceptance of such terms. Customer agrees that it is solely responsible for its compliance with Delivery Provider Terms, and that in the event of any issue related to the fulfillment of any Order, Customer will follow any support, refund, cancellation and other relevant terms, conditions and policies set forth in the applicable Delivery Provider Terms.

5) Payment

Customer acknowledges and agrees to the Nash Payment Terms, covering ACH and credit card use authorization. In addition to fees that will be due to the Delivery Provider, Customer shall also pay any and all other fees presented conspicuously to Customer by Nash, including but not limited to platform fees, service fees, catering and other task specific fees, and Nash delivery orchestration fees. Customer agrees to pay all non-disputed fees contained in any invoice sent to Customer by Nash. Any dispute or question regarding invoices, fees, payments must be made to Nash on a timely basis by writing accounting@usenash.com. Whether  Customer is paying via credit card, debit card, or ACH (“Payment Method”), Customer shall provide accurate and complete payment information as necessary to enable Nash to charge Customer’s card for amounts due hereunder. Payments will be charged to Customer’s Payment Method on the schedule presented to Customer by Nash within the Nash account creation process or within the account, or as otherwise agreed between the Parties. By providing the Payment Method to Nash, Customer thereby authorizes Nash and our payment processor to collect, store, transfer, and charge the Payment Method, at a schedule determined by Nash, for an amount equivalent to the total Nash Delivery Fees that are owed to Nash as well as any additional fees, taxes, or surcharges that may apply. If Customer’s primary Payment Method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged, Customer agrees that we may use a secondary Payment Method in Customer’s account, if available. We reserve the right to revoke access to any feature, product, or component of the Nash Platform in the event that we are unable to charge the Payment Method for amounts that are due. Charges paid by Customer are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Nash. Nash may use a third-party payment processor to bill Customer through the Payment Method linked to Customer’s account. Notwithstanding any amounts owed to Nash hereunder, Nash does not process payments for any services. To facilitate payment for use of the Nash Platform, we use Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”), a third-party payment processor. These payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe terms and conditions and other policies available at https://stripe.com/legal and Stripe’s Global Privacy Policy available at: https://stripe.com/privacy (collectively, the "Stripe Agreements"). By agreeing to these Terms, Customer also agrees to be bound by the Stripe Agreements, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. Customer hereby authorizes Stripe to store and continue billing Customer’s specified Payment Method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for Customer’s use of the Nash Platform. Please contact Stripe for more information. Nash assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments Customer makes for use of the Nash Platform. Customer must provide and maintain a current, complete and accurate Payment Method. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has the legal right to use any such Payment Method. Nash reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If Nash, through the Payment Processor, does not receive payment from Customer, Customer agrees to pay all amounts due on the account upon demand. Customer authorizes Nash to attempt repeat charges on the Payment Method if an initial attempt to charge fails.

6) Term and termination

A. Term and Termination.  Customer is free to cease using the Nash Platform at any time, with no prior notice to Nash, or to terminate this Agreement at anytime via written notice to Nash. Customer agrees that Nash may also terminate this Agreement at any time, or may suspend Customer’s use of the Nash Platform and remove and discard any content within the Nash Platform, for any reason, including for lack of use or if Nash believes that Customer has violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of Customer’s use of the Nash Platform, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Nash may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Nash Platform, or any part thereof, with or without notice. Customer agrees that any termination of access to the Nash Platform under any provision of these Terms may be effected without prior notice and acknowledges and agrees that Nash may immediately deactivate or delete Customer’s account and all related information and files in Customer’s account.

12) Relationship of the parties

A. Platform Only. The Nash Platform is a web-based technology that connects Customer, Merchants and Delivery Providers as described in these Terms.  Nash is not a Broker, Freight Forwarder, Motor Carrier or Shipper as such terms may be defined in rules or regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or in any other similar rules or regulations or by any other governmental body.

14) Dispute resolution

A. Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Nash, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Nash are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

B. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND NASH AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND NASH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

C. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Nash is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@usenash.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Nash should be sent to Nash Technologies, Inc., 2261 Market Street #4286, San Francisco CA 94114 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Nash and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Nash may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Nash or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Nash is entitled.

D. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Nash and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place 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, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Nash agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $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.

E. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Nash will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Nash will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Nash will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

F. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

G. Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

H. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Nash agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending Nash written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

15) General

Customer may not assign these Terms in whole or in part without Nash’s prior written consent and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. These Terms are binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the permitted successors and assigns of each Party, but shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any third party. Nash makes no representation that the Nash Platform is appropriate or available for use in Customer’s jurisdiction.

18) Governing Law and Venue

Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, Customer hereby agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the Northern District of California.

19) Waiver of Rights

Nash’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Nash. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either Party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
