These Payments Terms of Service (“Payments Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and LLIBRU LLC that govern the Payment Services (defined below) conducted through or in connection with the LLIBRU LLC Platform. When these Payments Terms mention “LLIBRU LLC, LLIBRU LLC Platform,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to LLIBRU LLC.

These payment services may include (if available) the following (collectively, “Payment Services”):

• Effecting payments to Hosts (“Payout”) to a financial instrument associated with their LLIBRU LLC account, such as a PayPal account, bank account, a prepaid card, or a debit card (“Payout Method”);
• Effecting payments to a third-party Payout Method designated by a Host;

BY LISTING ON LLIBRU.COM YOU AGREE THAT LLIBRU LLC WILL CHARGE A 10% FEE ON ALL RESERVATIONS (PAYABLE BY HOST) AND PROCESS PAYMENT OF YOUR PAID LISTING VIA STRIPE, INC.

1. Your use of the Payment Services

1.1 LLIBRU LLC Payment Services. By using the Payments Services, you agree to comply with these Payments Terms. LLIBRU LLC may temporarily limit or suspend your access to or use of the Payment Services, or its features, to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper functioning of the Payment Services. LLIBRU LLC may improve, enhance and modify the Payment Services and introduce new Payment Services from time to time. LLIBRU LLC will provide notice to Members of any changes to the Payment Services, unless such changes do not materially increase the Members’ contractual obligations or decrease the Members’ rights under these Payments Terms.

1.2 Third Party Services. The Payment Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services are subject to different Terms of service and privacy policies, and Members should review them. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible or liable for the use of such Third-Party Services. Links to any Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by LLIBRU LLC of those Third-Party Services.

1.4 Verification. You authorize LLIBRU LLC, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and information you provide. This may include (i) screening you against third-party databases or other sources, (ii) requesting reports from service providers, (iii) asking you to provide a form of government identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport), your date of birth, your address, and other information; or (iv) requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, Payment Method(s) or Payout Method(s). LLIBRU LLC reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or limit access to the Payment Services in the event we are unable to obtain or verify any of this information.

1.5 Additional Terms. Your access to or use of certain Payment Services may be subject to, or require you to accept, additional Terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Payments Terms and Terms and conditions applicable to a specific Payment Service, the latter Terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that Payment Service, unless specified otherwise.

2. Guest Terms

2.1 Adding a Payment Method. When you add a Payment Method to your LLIBRU LLC account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information either to LLIBRU LLC or its third-party payment processor(s). You authorize LLIBRU LLC and its payment service providers to collect and store your Payment Method information.

2.2 Payment Method Verification. When you add or use a new Payment Method, LLIBRU LLC may verify the Payment Method by (i) authorizing your Payment Method for one or two nominal amounts via a payment service provider, and asking you to confirm those amounts, or (ii) requiring you to upload a billing statement. We may, and retain the right to, initiate refunds of these amounts from your Payment Method. When you add a Payment Method during checkout, we will automatically save and add that Payment Method to your LLIBRU LLC account so it can be used for a future transaction. You may not remove the Payment Method associated with a reservation during the period commencing from the date of your booking and ending fourteen (14) days following your check-out date, nor during any additional period of time needed to resolve any outstanding Damage Claim associated with such booking.

2.3 Payment Authorization. You allow LLIBRU LLC to charge your Payment Method (including charging more than one payment method), either directly or indirectly, for all fees due (including any applicable taxes) in connection with your LLIBRU LLC account, including Damage Claim amounts in accordance with the Terms and with Section 6.

2.4 Automatic Update of Payment Method. If your Payment Method’s account information changes (e.g., account number, routing number, expiration date) as a result of re-issuance or otherwise, we may acquire that information from our financial services partners or your bank and automatically update your Payment Method on file.

2.5 Timing of Payment. LLIBRU LLC generally charges the Total Price due after the Host accepts your booking request. However, if you pay with a push Payment Method, LLIBRU LLC will collect the Total Price due at the time of your booking request or after the Host accepts your booking request. LLIBRU LLC may offer alternative options for the timing and manner of payment. Any additional fees for using those alternative payment options will be displayed via the LLIBRU LLC Platform and included in the Total Price, and you agree to pay such fees by selecting the payment option. Additional Terms and conditions may apply for the use of an alternative payment option. If LLIBRU LLC is unable to collect the Total Price due, as scheduled, LLIBRU LLC will collect the Total Price due at a later point in accordance with Section 5.3. Once the payment for your requested booking is successfully completed, you will receive a confirmation email.

2.6 Currency. LLIBRU LLC will process each transaction in the currency you select via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. The currencies available to make payments may be limited for regulatory or operational reasons based on factors such as your selected Payment Method or your country of residence. Any such limitations will be communicated via the LLIBRU LLC Platform, and you will be prompted to select a different currency or Payment Method. Note that if your LLIBRU LLC contracting entity’s location is different than the country of your Payment Method, or your selected currency is different than your Payment Method’s billing currency, your payment may be processed outside of your country of residence. As a result, certain fees may apply and the amount listed on your card statement may be different from the amount shown at checkout. For example, if you make a booking using a U.S. issued card, but select Euro as your currency, your payment may be processed outside the U.S., and banks and credit card companies may impose international transaction fees and foreign exchange fees. In addition, if you select to pay with a currency that is different than your Payment Method’s billing currency, your bank or credit card company may convert the payment amount to your billing currency associated with your Payment Method, based on an exchange rate and fee amount determined solely by your bank. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Please contact your bank or credit card company if you have any questions about these fees or the applicable exchange rate.

2.7 Booking Request Status. If a requested booking is declined because it is not accepted by the Host, you cancel the booking request before it is accepted by the Host, or LLIBRU LLC cancels the booking, any amounts collected by LLIBRU LLC and due to you pursuant to the policies described in Section 5.5, will be refunded to you, and any pre-authorization of your Payment Method will be released (if applicable) in accordance with Section 5.5.2

2.8 Payment Restrictions. LLIBRU LLC reserves the right to decline or limit payments that we believe (i) may violate LLIBRU LLC’ risk management policies or procedures, (ii) may violate these Payments Terms or the Terms, (iii) are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or (iv) expose you, LLIBRU LLC or others to risks unacceptable to LLIBRU LLC.

2.9 Payment Service Providers. Payment Methods may involve the use of third-party payment service providers. These payment service providers may charge you additional fees when processing payments in connection with the Payment Services, and LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Your Payment Method may also be subject to additional Terms of use. Please review them before using your Payment Method.

2.10 Your Payment Method, Your Responsibility. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payment Method information provided by you.

2.11 Different Ways to Pay

2.11.1 Payment Plan

2.11.1.1 LLIBRU LLC may make available to Guests the option to pay a portion of the booking’s Total Price at the time of booking and pay the remainder of the Total Price at a later time prior to check-in (“Payment Plan”). Availability of this option may depend on the Listing and/or Payment Method.

2.11.1.2 If you choose a Payment Plan, the LLIBRU LLC Platform will notify you during check out of the amount, currency and schedule of each payment due. On the following payments due date, LLIBRU LLC will automatically charge the original Payment Method you used to make the booking.

2.11.1.3 If you make a modification to a booking made with a Payment Plan, LLIBRU LLC will notify you of the revised payment schedule, as applicable. If the modification increases your Total Price, you may be required to make an additional partial payment of the new Total Price at the time of the modification.

2.11.1.4 You agree that by selecting a Payment Plan, you may not be able to pay for the booking with a different Payment Method or pursuant to a different payment schedule.

2.11.1.5 If LLIBRU LLC is unable to collect your payment, LLIBRU LLC will notify you of such declined payment, and require you to complete the payment using an alternative Payment Method within 72 hours of the notice. If you fail to complete the payment, you authorize LLIBRU LLC to cancel the booking on your behalf. If the booking is canceled, you will be refunded based on the Host’s cancellation policy. You acknowledge that you may incur fees for cancellations pursuant to the Host’s cancellation policy.

2.11.2 Recurring Payments

2.11.2.1 For certain bookings LLIBRU LLC may require a Guest to make recurring, incremental payments toward the Total Price owed (“Recurring Payments”). More information on Recurring Payments (including the amount and the frequency of payments) will be made available via the LLIBRU LLC Platform if applicable to a booking.

2.11.2.3 Guests may stop a Recurring Payment by notifying LLIBRU LLC in writing at least five (5) business days before the scheduled date of the payment. If you fail to provide written confirmation, LLIBRU LLC is not obligated to honor your request to stop any future Recurring Payments.

When you add a Payout Method to your LLIBRU LLC account, you may be asked to provide information such as name, government identification, tax ID, billing address, and financial instrument information either to LLIBRU LLC or its third-party payment processor(s). Depending on the Payout Method selected additional information may be required, such as: residential address, name on the account, account type, routing number, account number, email address, payout currency, identification number and account information associated with a particular payment processor. Providing requested information is required for a Payout Method to be valid. The information LLIBRU LLC requires for a valid Payout Method may change, and LLIBRU LLC may request additional information at any time; failing to provide requested information may result in LLIBRU LLC temporarily placing a hold, suspending, or canceling any Payout until the information is provided and, if necessary, validated. You authorize LLIBRU LLC to collect and store your Payout Method information. LLIBRU LLC may also share your information with governmental authorities as required by applicable law.

For Accommodation bookings of twenty-eight (28) nights or more, LLIBRU LLC will generally initiate the first payout 24 hours after the Guest’s scheduled check-in time, and will initiate future payouts every 30 days after the initial payout, for the duration of the reservation.

3.3.2 LLIBRU LLC may offer you a different Payout time or trigger for payment, which may be subject to additional Terms and conditions. The time it takes to receive Payouts once released by LLIBRU LLC may depend upon the Payout Method you select.

In the event of cancellation of a confirmed booking, LLIBRU LLC will remit the amount you are due (if any) as provided in the Terms and applicable cancellation policy.

3.5 Payout Restrictions. LLIBRU LLC may temporarily place a hold, suspend, or cancel any Payout for purposes of preventing unlawful activity or fraud, risk assessment, security, or completing an investigation; or if we are unable to verify your identity, or to obtain or verify requested information. Furthermore, LLIBRU LLC may temporarily place a hold on, suspend, or delay initiating or processing any Payout due to you under the Terms as a result of high volume Booking cancellations or modifications arising from a Force Majeure Event (as defined below).

3.6 Currency Conversion. LLIBRU LLC will remit your Payouts in the currency you select via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. The currencies available may be limited for regulatory or operational reasons based on factors such as your selected Payout Method, your country of residence, and/or your LLIBRU LLC contracting entity(ies). Any such limitations will be communicated via the LLIBRU LLC Platform, and you will be prompted to select a different currency or Payout Method.

3.7 Limits on Payouts. For compliance or operational reasons, LLIBRU LLC may limit the amount of a Payout. If you are due an amount above that limit, LLIBRU LLC may make a series of Payouts (potentially over multiple days) in order to provide your full Payout amount.

These payment service providers may charge you additional fees when processing Payouts in connection with the Payment Services (including deducting charges from the Payout amount), and LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Your Payout Method may also be subject to additional Terms of use. Please review them before using your Payout Method.

Specifically, you authorize LLIBRU LLC to collect from you:

• Any amount due to LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC (e.g., as a result of your bookings, Booking Modifications, cancellations, or other actions as a Guest, Host or user of the LLIBRU LLC Platform), including reimbursement for costs prepaid by LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC on your behalf.

The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between LLIBRU LLC and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. If you reside outside of the U.S., this does not affect LLIBRU LLC’ liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at LLIBRU LLC’ option), indemnify, and hold LLIBRU LLC and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Payments Terms; (ii) your improper use of the Payment Services; (iii) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit taxes; or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations, or third-party rights.

13. Modification, Term, Termination, and other Measures

13.1 Modification. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, LLIBRU LLC may modify these Payments Terms at any time. If we make material changes to these Payment Terms, we will post the revised Payment Terms on the LLIBRU LLC Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Payment Terms. If you are affected by the modification, we will also provide you with notice of the modifications at least thirty (30) days before the date they become effective. If you are contracting with LLIBRU LLC UK, or LLIBRU LLC Australia, you will receive at least two (2) months advance notice. If you do not terminate your agreement before the date the revised Payment Terms become effective, your continued use of the Payment Services will constitute acceptance of any changes to the revised Payments Terms.

13.2 Term. This agreement between you and LLIBRU LLC reflected by these Payment Terms is effective when you create an LLIBRU LLC account or use the Payment Services and remains in effect until either you or we terminate this agreement in accordance with Section 13.3.

13.3 Termination. You may terminate this agreement at any time by sending us an email or by deleting your LLIBRU LLC account. Terminating this agreement will also serve as notice to cancel your LLIBRU LLC account pursuant to the Terms. Without limiting our rights specified below, LLIBRU LLC may terminate this agreement for convenience at any time by giving you thirty (30) days’ notice via email to your registered email address (or two (2) months’ prior notice for Members contracting with LLIBRU LLC). LLIBRU LLC may also terminate this agreement immediately without notice if (i) you have materially breached your obligations under this agreement; (ii) you have provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated, or incomplete information; (iii) you have violated applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights; or (iv) LLIBRU LLC believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect other Members, LLIBRU LLC, LLIBRU LLC, or third parties.

13.4 Suspension and Other Measures. LLIBRU LLC may limit or temporarily or permanently suspend your use of or access to the Payment Services (i) to comply with applicable law, or the order or request of a court, law enforcement, or other administrative agency or governmental body, (ii) if you have breached these Payments Terms, the Terms, applicable laws, regulations or third-party rights, (iii) if you have provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated, or incomplete information regarding a Payment Method or Payout Method, (iv) for any amounts you owe under these Payments Term that are overdue or in default, or (v) if LLIBRU LLC believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety or property of LLIBRU LLC, its Members, LLIBRU LLC, or third parties, or to prevent fraud or other illegal activity. Further, for unsuccessful payment due to card expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, we may temporarily suspend your access to the Payment Services until we can charge a valid Payment Method

13.5 Appeal. If LLIBRU LLC takes any of the measures described in Section 13.3 and 13.4 you may appeal such a decision by contacting llibru@llibru.com

13.6 Effect of Termination. If you cancel your LLIBRU LLC account as a Host or LLIBRU LLC takes any of the measures described above, LLIBRU LLC may provide a full refund to any Guests with confirmed booking(s), and you will not be entitled to any compensation for pending or confirmed bookings that were cancelled. If you cancel your LLIBRU LLC account as a Guest, LLIBRU LLC will initiate a refund for any confirmed booking(s) based on the Listing’s cancellation policy. If your access to or use of the Payment Services has been suspended or limited or this agreement has been terminated by us, you may not register a new LLIBRU LLC account or attempt to access and use the Payment Services through an LLIBRU LLC account of another Member.

13.7 Survival. Sections 5 through 20 of these Payments Terms shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

14.1 These Payments Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Legal proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 15 must be brought in state or federal court in Maricopa County, Arizona, unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Maricopa County, Arizona.

15. United States Arbitration Agreement

15.1 Application. This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if you are contracting with LLIBRU LLC. If you are not contracting with LLIBRU LLC, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against LLIBRU LLC in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 15 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.

15.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. LLIBRU LLC is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Payment Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 15 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with LLIBRU LLC’s customer service team (described in Section 15.3), and if necessary (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and LLIBRU LLC each retain the right to seek resolution of the dispute in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.

15.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and LLIBRU LLC each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send your notice of dispute to LLIBRU LLC. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).

15.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and LLIBRU LLC mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Payments Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the Payment Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and LLIBRU LLC agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

15.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and LLIBRU LLC each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 15): (i) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); (ii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iii) any individual claim of sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from your use of the LLIBRU LLC Platform or Host Services. You and LLIBRU LLC agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

15.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the arbitrator (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.

15.7 Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, LLIBRU LLC agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the U.S county where you reside; (b) in Maricopa County; or (c) via phone or video conference. If the amount in controversy is $5,000 or less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

15.8 Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.

15.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

15.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and LLIBRU LLC acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

15.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and LLIBRU LLC acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

15.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 15.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect.

15.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If LLIBRU LLC changes this Section 15 after the date you last accepted these Payments Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Payments Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and LLIBRU LLC (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and LLIBRU LLC.

15.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 15.12 and subject to Section 13.7, this Section 15 will survive any termination of these Payments Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Payment Services or terminate your LLIBRU LLC account.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1 Interpreting these Payments Terms. Except as they may be supplemented by additional Terms and conditions, policies, guidelines, or standards, these Payments Terms constitute the entire agreement between LLIBRU LLC and you regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between LLIBRU LLC and you regarding the Payment Services. If any provision of these Payments Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

16.2 No Waiver. LLIBRU LLC’ failure to enforce any right or provision in these Payments Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Payments Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Payments Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Payments Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

16.3 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement or your rights and obligations hereunder without LLIBRU LLC’ prior written consent. LLIBRU LLC may without restriction assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations, at its sole discretion, with thirty (30) days’ prior notice (or two (2) months’ prior notice for Members contracting with LLIBRU LLC UK).

16.4 Notices. Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications permitted or required under this agreement, will be in writing and given by LLIBRU LLC via email or LLIBRU LLC Platform notification, and depending on your notification setting, messaging service (including SMS and WeChat). The date of receipt will be deemed the date on which LLIBRU LLC transmits the notice.

Last Updated: June 18, 2023

These Payments Terms of Service for European Users (“Payments Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and LLIBRU LLC that govern the Payment Services (defined below) conducted through or in connection with the LLIBRU LLC Platform. When these Payments Terms mention “LLIBRU LLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to:

• LLIBRU LLC

• LLIBRU LLC provides payments services to Members publishing, offering and booking Accommodations, Experiences or other Host Services, including current and future services provided via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. These payment services may include (if available) the following (collectively, “Payment Services”):

• Collecting payments from Guests (“Payin”), by charging the payment method associated with their LLIBRU LLC account, such as credit card, debit card, bank account or PayPal account (“Payment Method”);
• Effecting payments to Hosts (“Payout”) to a financial instrument associated with their LLIBRU LLC account, such as a PayPal account, bank account, direct deposit, a prepaid card, or a debit card (“Payout Method”);
• Effecting payments to a third-party Payout Method designated by a Host;
• Collection and payment of charitable donations;
• Payment collection services; and
• Other payment related services in connection with Host Services.

In order to use the Payment Services, you must be at least 18 years old, must have an LLIBRU LLC account in good standing in accordance with the LLIBRU LLC Terms of Service (“Terms”), and must keep your payment and personal information accurate and complete.

If you change your country of residence, the LLIBRU LLC company you contract with and the applicable version of the Payment Terms may be determined by your new country of residence from the date on which your country of residence changes. Please note, however, that the LLIBRU LLC company with whom you contract will stay the same for all bookings made prior to your change of residence.

The Terms separately govern your use of the LLIBRU LLC Platform. If you see an undefined term in these Payment Terms, it has the same definition as in the Terms.

1. Your use of the Payment Services

1.1 LLIBRU LLC Payment Services. By using the Payments Services, you agree to comply with these Payment Terms. LLIBRU LLC may temporarily limit or suspend your access to or use of the Payment Services, or its features, to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper functioning of the Payment Services. LLIBRU LLC may improve, enhance and modify the Payment Services and introduce new Payment Services from time to time. LLIBRU LLC will provide notice to Members of any changes to the Payment Services, unless such changes do not materially increase the Members’ contractual obligations or decrease the Members’ rights under these Payments Terms.

1.2 Third Party Services. The Payment Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services are subject to different Terms of service and privacy policies, and Members should review them. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible or liable for the use of such Third-Party Services. Links to any Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by LLIBRU LLC of those Third-Party Services.

1.3 Your LLIBRU LLC Account. LLIBRU LLC may enable features that allow you to authorize other Members or third parties to take certain actions that affect your LLIBRU LLC account. You may authorize a third party to use your LLIBRU LLC account if the feature is enabled for your LLIBRU LLC account. You acknowledge and agree that anyone you authorize to use your LLIBRU LLC account may use the Payment Services on your behalf and that you will be responsible for any payments made by such person.

1.4 Verification. You authorize LLIBRU LLC, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and information you provide. This may include (i) screening you against third-party databases or other sources, (ii) requesting reports from service providers, (iii) asking you to provide a form of government identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport), your date of birth, your address, and other information; or (iv) requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, Payment Method(s) or Payout Method(s). LLIBRU LLC reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or limit access to the Payment Services in the event we are unable to obtain or verify any of this information.

1.5 Additional Terms. Your access to or use of certain Payment Services may be subject to, or require you to accept, additional Terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Payments Terms and Terms and conditions applicable to a specific Payment Service, the latter Terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that Payment Service, unless specified otherwise.

2. Guest Terms

2.1 Adding a Payment Method. When you add a Payment Method to your LLIBRU LLC account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information either to LLIBRU LLC or its third-party payment processor(s). You authorize LLIBRU LLC and its payment service providers to collect and store your Payment Method information.

2.2 Payment Method Verification. When you add or use a new Payment Method, LLIBRU LLC may verify the Payment Method by (i) authorizing your Payment Method for one or two nominal amounts via a payment service provider, and asking you to confirm those amounts, or (ii) requiring you to upload a billing statement. We may, and retain the right to, initiate refunds of these amounts from your Payment Method. When you add a Payment Method during checkout, we will automatically save and add that Payment Method to your LLIBRU LLC account so it can be used for a future transaction. You may not remove the Payment Method associated with a reservation, during the period commencing from the date of your booking and ending fourteen (14) days following your check-out date, nor during any additional period of time needed to resolve any outstanding Damage Claim associated with such booking.

2.3 Payment Authorization. You allow LLIBRU LLC to charge your Payment Method (including charging more than one payment method), either directly or indirectly, for all fees due (including any applicable taxes) in connection with your LLIBRU LLC account, including Damage Claim amounts in accordance with the Terms and with Section 6.

2.4 Automatic Update of Payment Method. If your Payment Method’s account information changes (e.g., account number, routing number, expiration date) as a result of re-issuance or otherwise, we may acquire that information from our financial services partners or your bank and automatically update your Payment Method on file.

2.5 Timing of Payment. LLIBRU LLC generally charges the Total Price due after the Host accepts your booking request. However, if you pay with a push Payment Method (such as Sofort), LLIBRU LLC will collect the Total Price due at the time of your booking request or after the Host accepts your booking request. LLIBRU LLC may offer alternative options for the timing and manner of payment. Any additional fees for using those alternative payment options will be displayed via the LLIBRU LLC Platform and included in the Total Price, and you agree to pay such fees by selecting the payment option. Additional Terms and conditions may apply for the use of an alternative payment option. If LLIBRU LLC is unable to collect the Total Price due, as scheduled, LLIBRU LLC will collect the Total Price due at a later point in accordance with Section 5.3. Once the payment for your requested booking is successfully completed, you will receive a confirmation email.

2.6 Currency. LLIBRU LLC will process each transaction in the currency you select via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. The currencies available to make payments may be limited for regulatory or operational reasons based on factors such as your selected Payment Method, your country of residence and/or your LLIBRU LLC contracting entity(ies). Any such limitations will be communicated via the LLIBRU LLC Platform, and you will be prompted to select a different currency or Payment Method. Note that if your LLIBRU LLC contracting entity’s location is different than the country of your Payment Method or your selected currency is different than your Payment Method’s billing currency, your payment may be processed outside of your country of residence. As a result, certain fees may apply and the amount listed on your card statement may be different from the amount shown at checkout. For example, if you make a booking using a U.S. issued card, but select Euro as your currency, your payment may be processed outside the U.S., and banks and credit card companies may impose international transaction fees and foreign exchange fees. In addition, if you select to pay with a currency that is different than your Payment Method’s billing currency, your bank or credit card company may convert the payment amount to your billing currency associated with your Payment Method, based on an exchange rate and fee amount determined solely by your bank. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Please contact your bank or credit card company if you have any questions about these fees or the applicable exchange rate.

2.7 Booking Request Status. If a requested booking is declined because it is not accepted by the Host, you cancel the booking request before it is accepted by the Host, or LLIBRU LLC cancels the booking, any amounts collected by LLIBRU LLC and due to you pursuant to the policies described in Section 5.5,, will be refunded to you, and any pre-authorization of your Payment Method will be released (if applicable) in accordance with Section 5.5.2.

2.8 Payment Restrictions. LLIBRU LLC reserves the right to decline or limit payments that we believe (i) may violate LLIBRU LLC’ risk management policies or procedures, (ii) may violate these Payments Terms or the Terms, (iii) are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or (iv) expose you, LLIBRU LLC, , or others to risks unacceptable to LLIBRU LLC.

2.9 Payment Service Providers. Payment Methods may involve the use of third-party payment service providers. These payment service providers may charge you additional fees when processing payments in connection with the Payment Services, and LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Your Payment Method may also be subject to additional Terms of use. Please review them before using your Payment Method.

2.10 Your Payment Method, Your Responsibility. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payment Method information provided by you.

2.11 Different Ways to Pay

2.11.1 Payment Plan

2.11.1.1 LLIBRU LLC may make available to Guests the option to pay a portion of the booking’s Total Price at the time of booking and pay the remainder of the Total Price at a later time prior to check-in (“Payment Plan”). Availability of this option may depend on the Listing and/or Payment Method.

2.11.1.2 If you choose a Payment Plan, the LLIBRU LLC Platform will notify you during check out of the amount, currency and schedule of each payment due. On the following payments due date, LLIBRU LLC will automatically charge the original Payment Method you used to make the booking.

2.11.1.3 If you make a modification to a booking made with a Payment Plan, LLIBRU LLC will notify you of the revised payment schedule, as applicable. If the modification increases your Total Price, you may be required to make an additional partial payment of the new Total Price at the time of the modification.

2.11.1.4 You agree that by selecting a Payment Plan, you may not be able to pay for the booking with a different Payment Method or pursuant to a different payment schedule.

2.11.1.5 If LLIBRU LLC is unable to collect your payment, LLIBRU LLC will notify you of such declined payment, and require you to complete the payment using an alternative Payment Method within 72 hours of the notice. If you fail to complete the payment, you authorize LLIBRU LLC to cancel the booking on your behalf. If the booking is canceled, you will be refunded based on the Host’s cancellation policy. You acknowledge that you may incur fees for cancellations pursuant to the Host’s cancellation policy.

2.11.2 Recurring Payments

2.11.2.1 For certain bookings (such as for Accommodation bookings of twenty-eight (28) nights or more), LLIBRU LLC may require a Guest to make recurring, incremental payments toward the Total Price owed (“Recurring Payments”). More information on Recurring Payments (including the amount and the frequency of payments) will be made available via the LLIBRU LLC Platform if applicable to a booking.

2.11.2.2 If Recurring Payments apply to a confirmed booking, then the Guest authorizes LLIBRU LLC to collect the Total Price due.

2.11.2.3 Guests may stop a Recurring Payment by notifying LLIBRU LLC orally or in writing at least three (3) business days before the scheduled date of the payment. LLIBRU LLC may require you to give written confirmation of a stop-payment order within fourteen (14) days of an oral notification. If you fail to provide written confirmation within those fourteen (14) days, LLIBRU LLC is not obligated to honor your request to stop any future Recurring Payments. If you have any questions regarding your Recurring Payments, please contact LLIBRU LLC.

3. Host Terms

3.1 Payment Collection. LLIBRU LLC generally collects the Total Price of a booking at the time the Guest’s booking request is accepted by the Host, unless noted otherwise.

3.2 Valid Payout Method. In order to receive a Payout you must have a valid Payout Method linked to your LLIBRU LLC account. When you add a Payout Method to your LLIBRU LLC account, you will be asked to provide information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information either to LLIBRU LLC or its third-party payment processor(s). Depending on the Payout Method selected additional information may be required, such as: residential address, name on the account, account type, routing number, account number, email address, payout currency, identification number and account information associated with a particular payment processor. Providing requested information is required for a Payout Method to be valid. The information LLIBRU LLC requires for a valid Payout Method may change, and LLIBRU LLC may request additional information at any time; failing to provide requested information may result in LLIBRU LLC temporarily placing a hold, suspending, or canceling any Payout until the information is provided and, if necessary, validated. You authorize LLIBRU LLC to collect and store your Payout Method information. LLIBRU LLC may also share your information with governmental authorities as required by applicable law.

3.3 Timing of Payout

3.3.1 Subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the payments from Guest, LLIBRU LLC will generally initiate Payouts to your selected Payout Method: (i) for Accommodations, 24 hours after the Guest’s scheduled check-in time (or 24 hours after 3:00 pm local time – or 3:00 pm UTC if local time is unknown – if the check-in time is flexible or not specified); (ii) for Experiences, 24 hours after the start of the Experience; and (iii) for all other Host Services, at the time specified via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. For Accommodation bookings of twenty-eight (28) nights or more, LLIBRU LLC will generally initiate the first payout 24 hours after the Guest’s scheduled check-in time, and will initiate future payouts every 30 days after the initial payout, for the duration of the reservation.

3.3.2 LLIBRU LLC may offer you a different Payout time or trigger for payment, which may be subject to additional Terms and conditions.The time it takes to receive Payouts once released by LLIBRU LLC may depend upon the Payout Method you select.

3.4 Payout. Your Payout for a booking will be the Total Price less applicable fees like LLIBRU LLC service fees and applicable taxes. In the event of cancellation of a confirmed booking, LLIBRU LLC will remit the amount you are due (if any) as provided in the Terms and applicable cancellation policy.

3.5 Payout Restrictions. LLIBRU LLC may temporarily place a hold, suspend, or cancel any Payout for purposes of preventing unlawful activity or fraud, risk assessment, security, or completing an investigation; or if we are unable to verify your identity, or to obtain or verify requested information. Furthermore, LLIBRU LLC may temporarily place a hold on, suspend, or delay initiating or processing any Payout due to you under the Terms as a result of high volume Booking cancellations or modifications arising from a Force Majeure Event (as defined below).

3.6 Currency Conversion. LLIBRU LLC will remit your Payouts in the currency you select via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. The currencies available may be limited for regulatory or operational reasons based on factors such as your selected Payout Method, your country of residence, and/or your LLIBRU LLC contracting entity(ies). Any such limitations will be communicated via the LLIBRU LLC Platform, and you will be prompted to select a different currency or Payout Method. Note that payment service providers may impose transaction, currency conversion or other fees based on the currency or Payout Method you select, and LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard.

3.7 Limits on Payouts. For compliance or operational reasons, LLIBRU LLC may limit the amount of a Payout. If you are due an amount above that limit, LLIBRU LLC may make a series of Payouts (potentially over multiple days) in order to provide your full Payout amount.

3.8 Payment Service Providers. Payout Methods may involve the use of third-party payment service providers. These service providers may charge you additional fees when processing Payouts in connection with the Payment Services (including deducting charges from the Payout amount), and LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Your Payout Method may also be subject to additional Terms of use. Please review them before using your Payout Method.

3.9 Your Payout Method, Your Responsibility. LLIBRU LLC is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payout Method information provided by you.

3.10 Different ways to get paid

3.10.1 Split Payouts

If you provide Host Services jointly with one or more other Hosts as part of a team, business or other organization (“Host Team”), LLIBRU LLC may make available to such Hosts the option to allocate between the members of the Host Team the total Host Payout for a booking. LLIBRU LLC will execute such payments at the instruction of one or more members of the Host Team and is not responsible for any losses related to errors or omissions made by the Hosts in providing such payment instructions.

4. Appointment of LLIBRU LLC as Limited Payment Collection Agent

4.1 Each Host, including each Host Team member, hereby appoints LLIBRU LLC as the Host’s payment collection agent solely for the limited purpose of accepting and processing funds from Guests purchasing Host Services on the Host’s behalf.

4.2 Each Host, including each Host Team member, agrees that payment made by a Guest through LLIBRU LLC, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Host, and the Host will provide the Host Service booked by the Guest in the agreed-upon manner as if the Host has received the payment directly from the Guest. Each Host agrees that LLIBRU LLC may refund the Guest in accordance with the Terms. Each Host understands that LLIBRU LLC’ obligation to pay the Host is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Guest. LLIBRU LLC guarantees payments to Host(s) only for such amounts that have been successfully received by LLIBRU LLC from Guests in accordance with these Payments Terms. In accepting appointment as the limited payment collection agent of the Host, LLIBRU LLC assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Host.

4.3 Each Guest acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that LLIBRU LLC is not a party to the agreement between you and the Host(s), including each Host Team member, LLIBRU LLC acts as each Host’s payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Host(s). Upon a Guest’s payment of the funds to LLIBRU LLC, the Guest’s payment obligation to the Host(s) for the agreed upon amount is extinguished, and LLIBRU LLC is responsible for remitting the funds successfully received by LLIBRU LLC to the Host(s) in the manner described in these Payments Terms. In the event that LLIBRU LLC does not remit any such amounts, the Host(s) will have recourse only against LLIBRU LLC and not the Guest directly.

5. General Terms

5.1 Fees. LLIBRU LLC may charge fees for use of certain Payment Services and any applicable fees will be disclosed to you in the Terms or via the LLIBRU LLC Platform.

5.2 Payment Authorizations. You authorize LLIBRU LLC to collect from you amounts due pursuant to these Payment Terms and/or the Terms by either (i) charging the Payment Method associated with the relevant booking, or any other Payment Method on file that you authorize in your LLIBRU LLC account (unless you have previously removed the authorization to charge such Payment Method(s)), or (ii) by withholding the amount from your future Payout. Specifically, you authorize LLIBRU LLC to collect from you:

• Any amount due to LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC (e.g., as a result of your bookings, Booking Modifications, cancellations, or other actions as a Guest, Host or user of the LLIBRU LLC Platform), including reimbursement for costs prepaid by LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC on your behalf. Any funds collected by LLIBRU LLC will set off the amount owed by you to LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC and extinguish your obligation to LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC.
• Any amount due to a Host from a Guest which LLIBRU LLC collects as the Host’s payment collection agent as further set out in Section 4 above.
• Taxes, where applicable and as set out in the Terms.
• Any amount you pay through the Resolution Center in connection with your LLIBRU LLC account.
• Any Damage Claim amounts owed to LLIBRU LLC or LLIBRU LLC in accordance with the Terms and Section 6.
• Overstay penalties payable under the Terms, including any cost and expenses incurred in collecting the overstay penalty.
• Any service fees or cancellation fees imposed pursuant to the Terms (e.g., if, as a Host, you cancel a confirmed booking).
• Any amounts already paid to you as a Host despite a Guest cancelling a confirmed booking or LLIBRU LLC deciding that it is necessary to cancel a booking in accordance with the Terms, or other applicable cancellation policy. You agree that in the event you have already been paid, LLIBRU LLC will be entitled to recover the amount of any such guest refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to you.

If you owe an amount at any time after a booking, such as with Payment Plan or Recurring Payment charges, Booking Modifications, resolution center payments or Damage Claims (“Additional Amounts”), you hereby authorize and grant LLIBRU LLC a mandate to collect payments for such Additional Amounts by charging your Payment Method associated with the relevant booking without any further action on your part. LLIBRU LLC will notify you in writing before any Additional Amounts are charged.

If your Payment Method associated with the relevant booking is expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged for any reason (such as insufficient funds), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and LLIBRU LLC may charge the Payment Method related to your booking again or use any other Payment Method on file associated with your LLIBRU LLC account, if available, to collect such Additional Amounts. Any amount not collected for any reason will be subject to any remedies that may be available, including, but not limited to, referral to a collections agency, or pursuit of available causes of action or claims against you.

If LLIBRU LLC has reason to believe that you as a Host participated in fraudulent activity, such as an overpayment scam, booking fraud or other fraud, and LLIBRU LLC released the payout for such stay, LLIBRU LLC may recoup from you such amount by reducing, setting off or debiting the amount from any future Payouts owed to you.

In addition to any amount due as outlined above, if there are amounts which you owe us but are unpaid or chargebacks associated with your Payment Method, you may be charged fees that are incidental to LLIBRU LLC collection of these amounts and chargebacks. Such fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees or other third-party charges.

5.3 Collections

5.3.1 If LLIBRU LLC is unable to collect any amounts you owe under the Terms and these Payments Terms, LLIBRU LLC may engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from you.

5.3.2 LLIBRU LLC will deem any owed amounts overdue when: (a) for authorized charges, one hundred and twenty (120) days have elapsed after LLIBRU LLC first attempts to charge your Payment Method or the associated services have been provided, whichever is later; and (b) for withholdings from a Host’s future Payouts, two hundred and seventy (270) days have elapsed after the adjustment is made to the Host’s LLIBRU LLC account or the associated services have been provided, whichever is later.

5.3.3 LLIBRU LLC will deem any overdue amounts not collected to be in default when three hundred and sixty five (365) days have elapsed: (a) for authorized charges, after LLIBRU LLC first attempts to charge your Payment Method or the associated services have been provided, whichever is later; and (b) for withholdings from a Host’s future Payouts, after the adjustment is made to the Host’s LLIBRU LLC account or the associated services have been provided, whichever is later.

5.3.4 You hereby explicitly agree that all communications in relation to amounts owed will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to LLIBRU LLC by you. Such communications may be made by LLIBRU LLC, or by anyone on their behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collection agent.

5.4 Payment Processing Errors

5.4.1 LLIBRU LLC will take the necessary steps to rectify any payment processing errors that we become aware of. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the original Payout Method or Payment Method used or selected by you, so that you end up receiving or paying the correct amount. This may be performed by LLIBRU LLC or a third party such as your financial institution. We may also take steps to recover funds sent to you in error (including but not limited to an event of duplicate payments made to you due to a processing error), by reducing, setting off and/or debiting the amount of such funds from any future Payouts owed to you.

5.4.2 To the extent you receive any funds in error, you agree to immediately return such funds to LLIBRU LLC.

5.5 Refunds

5.5.1 Any refunds or credits due to a Member pursuant to the Terms or applicable policies will be initiated and remitted by LLIBRU LLC in accordance with these Payments Terms.

5.5.2 Subject to this Section 5.5.2, LLIBRU LLC will initiate the refund process immediately. In the case of a cancellation by a Host, LLIBRU LLC will hold the funds on behalf of the Host for up to 72 hours until the Guest is either refunded or the funds are used to rebook with another Host. At no point in time is LLIBRU LLC holding the funds on behalf of the Guest or providing the Guest a payment service. In certain instances, the refund process may include the option to receive credit in lieu of a cash refund; if this option is made available to you, the timing of your refund will be communicated via the LLIBRU LLC Platform. However, the time it takes to receive any cash refund or for any pre-authorization of your Payment Method to be released will vary based on the Payment Method and any applicable payment system (e.g., Visa, Mastercard, etc.) rules. In the event of a Force Majeure Event that may affect the processing and settlement of refunds, LLIBRU LLC will initiate and process the refund as soon as is practicable.

6. Damage Claims and Damage Amounts

6.1 If you are responsible for Damage Claim amounts pursuant to Section 15 of the Terms, LLIBRU LLC via LLIBRU LLC may, with your prior authorization, charge the Payment Method used to make the booking or any other payment method on file in your LLIBRU LLC account at the time of the Damage Claim in order to collect the Damage Claim amounts, up to a maximum amount as defined in Section 15 of the Terms. Hosts are responsible for any damage or risk incurred from hosting independent of LLIBRU LLC and relinquishes LLIBRU LLC of any liability. If any Host chooses to pursue damages against a guest, it is independently and on their own accord.

6.2 You agree that LLIBRU LLC may seek to recover from you under any insurance policies you maintain and that LLIBRU LLC may also pursue against you any remedies it may have available, including, but not limited to, referral to a collections agency, or pursuit of causes of action or claims against you, including in relation to any Damage Claim or payment requests made by Hosts.

15. Arbitration Agreement

15.1 Application. This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if you are contracting with LLIBRU LLC. If you are not contracting with LLIBRU LLC, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against LLIBRU LLC in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 15 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.

15.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. LLIBRU LLC is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Payment Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 15 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with LLIBRU LLC’s customer service team (described in Section 15.3), and if necessary (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and LLIBRU LLC each retain the right to seek resolution of the dispute in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.

15.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and LLIBRU LLC each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send your notice of dispute to LLIBRU LLC. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).

15.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and LLIBRU LLC mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Payments Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the Payment Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and LLIBRU LLC agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

15.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and LLIBRU LLC each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 15): (i) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); (ii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iii) any individual claim of sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from your use of the LLIBRU LLC Platform or Host Services. You and LLIBRU LLC agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

15.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the arbitrator (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.

15.7 Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, LLIBRU LLC agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the U.S county where you reside; (b) in Maricopa County; or (c) via phone or video conference. If the amount in controversy is $5,000 or less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

15.8 Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.

15.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

15.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and LLIBRU LLC acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

15.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and LLIBRU LLC acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

15.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 15.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect.

15.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If LLIBRU LLC changes this Section 15 after the date you last accepted these Payments Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Payments Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and LLIBRU LLC (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and LLIBRU LLC.

15.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 15.12 and subject to Section 13.7, this Section 15 will survive any termination of these Payments Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Payment Services or terminate your LLIBRU LLC account.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1 Interpreting these Payments Terms. Except as they may be supplemented by additional Terms and conditions, policies, guidelines, or standards, these Payments Terms constitute the entire agreement between LLIBRU LLC and you regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between LLIBRU LLC and you regarding the Payment Services. If any provision of these Payments Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

16.2 No Waiver. LLIBRU LLC’ failure to enforce any right or provision in these Payments Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Payments Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Payments Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Payments Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

16.3 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement or your rights and obligations hereunder without LLIBRU LLC’ prior written consent. LLIBRU LLC may without restriction assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations, at its sole discretion, with two (2) months’ prior notice.
