To acquire an Account for the Service, you must provide AblePay with an electronic mail address and other information (“Registration Data”). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the access data for your Account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to: (i) immediately notify AblePay of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security; and (ii) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session.

Completion of any payment via the Service is contingent on both authorization by the card company or the paying bank and acceptance by AblePay.

ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND the ablepay parties arising from or relating in any way to your use of the Service, these Terms of Service, its interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships that result from these Terms of Service (including relationships with third parties who are not signatories to these Terms of Service), AblePay’s advertising or any related purchase, if any, SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or these Terms of Service is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS (or a substitute forum if both are unavailable). Arbitration proceedings shall be governed by this provision and the applicable procedures of the selected arbitration administrator, including any applicable procedures for consumer-related disputes, in effect at the time the claim is filed. The arbitration will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy. You agree to arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR AblePay SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE, OR ARBITRATE OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be class arbitration). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator, provided, that AblePay will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party statutory attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law. Information on AAA or JAMS and their applicable rules are available at the following numbers and URLs: (i) American Arbitration Association: (800) 778-7879, www.adr.org; and (ii) JAMS: (800) 352-5267, www.jamsadr.com. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration each of you and AblePay waive any right to a jury trial. Moreover, each of you and AblePay both agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor AblePay can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify AblePay in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your AblePay account username and the email address you used to set up your AblePay account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.
