  7. Third-Party Fees. To get the most out of the Services, you may be required to pay for one or more of the following Third-Party Products:

    1. Advertising Fees. By purchasing the Services, you acknowledge that you are required to pay a monthly amount (“Ad Budget”) to Facebook/Google to meet the limited refund requirements set out in Section 9. These payments have no affiliation with Provider and Provider does not receive any kick-back or compensation from these payments.

Please see the limited refund requirements in Section 9 to understand the Ad Budget needed to qualify for the limited refund.

You may cancel this charge at any time, but you will lose access to the white label domain.

    3. Calling, Phone Number, and Email Fees. You are responsible for all messaging and phone number-related fees to use the Services.

Usage fees laid out directly at crmvo.com. Please note that you will also be charged in increments of $10 for email, voice, and SMS credits that may be reloaded at any time. You agree to allow Provider to charge the provided payment method for these fees. You may cancel these charges at any time, but you will lose access to messaging, which is necessary to meet the limited refund requirements in Section 9. You acknowledge that Provider will receive a financial benefit if you buy CRM Voice through Provider.

 

  1. Refunds; Chargebacks. You acknowledge that your payment to us is directly for system buildout and must be paid in full whether you use the Services or not.

Accordingly, all sales are final unless the limited refund requirements set out in Section 8 are met. Any refunds for the Services shall not be requested unless the limited refund requirements set out in Section 9 are met in full. If you elect to pay for the Services using an installment payment plan, you must not cancel, back out, or stop the mid-payment plan at any time. You shall not chargeback any amounts charged to your credit/debit card. If you chargeback a credit/debit card charge for a payment initiated by you, Provider may recover the amount of the chargeback in addition to $50 by any means considered necessary, including but not limited to recharging your credit/debit card or having the amount recovered by a collection agency.

  14. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration.

    1. You and Zale Solar, LLC are agreeing to give up any rights to litigate claims in a court or before a jury, or to participate in a class action or representative action with respect to a claim. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also be unavailable or may be limited in arbitration.

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 us arising from or relating in any way to your purchase of products or services through us, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration.

  1. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration according to the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 20.. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

The arbitration will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

​

If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

​

  1. You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention to do so within 60 days of your purchase. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.

  2. You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, neither you nor Zale Solar, LLC will be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other customers in court or in arbitration or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member, or in a private attorney general capacity. The arbitral tribunal must not consolidate more than one person’s claims and must not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver must only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

​

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
