PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT TERMS OF
SERVICE.
1. OUR SERVICES CONNECT BUYERS AND SELLERS. Fleek provides a marketplace that allows
users of our Services, including our Website, Platform and Applications (“Users”) that have an
account with Fleek to offer, sell and buy vintage and secondhand fashion items. As a marketplace, we
do not own or sell the items listed on the Services, so the actual contract for sale is directly between
the individual or entity seeking to sell items (“Sellers”) and the individual or entity seeking to buy items
(“Buyers”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service and using the Services, Users represent that all
sales are wholesale. While we may, in our discretion, help facilitate the resolution of disputes through
various programs, Fleek has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or
legality of any items offered on the Services; the truth or accuracy of Users’ content or listings; the
ability of Sellers to sell items; the ability of Buyers to pay for items; or that a Buyer and Seller will
actually complete a transaction or return an item.
2. OUR PLATFORM. You may not use the Services to solicit, advertise for, or contact in any
form, Users for employment or any other purpose not related to the purchase and sale of items
facilitated through the Services. You may not use the Services to collect usernames and/or e-mail
addresses of Users by electronic or other means without the express prior written consent of Fleek.
As a marketplace, we do not personally provide or deliver any of the items listed on the Services, so
the actual contract for the provision of any listed item is directly between the Buyer and the Seller of
that item.
3. FLEEK ONLY PROVIDES A VENUE. While Fleek may provide pricing and guidance on our
Services, such information is solely informational. We are not obligated to take part in the interaction
between Users. We do not have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any
aspect whatsoever of any ratings provided by Users, items sold by Sellers, or of the integrity,
responsibility, or any actions of any Users. Fleek makes no representations about the suitability,
reliability, timeliness or accuracy in public, private or offline interactions. Although Fleek may require
that Users provide certain information as part of the registration and onboarding process, we cannot
confirm that any User is who they claim to be. Fleek does not assume any responsibility for the
accuracy or reliability of this information or any information provided through the Services.
When interacting with other Users you should exercise caution and common sense to protect
your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you
don’t know.
NEITHER FLEEK NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE SERVICES.
4. USE OF THE SERVICES. The Services, including the Platform, Applications, and Website,
are protected by copyright laws throughout the world. Unless otherwise specified by Fleek in a
separate license, your right to use any and all Services is subject to the Agreement.

grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to
download, install and use a copy of any Application on a single mobile device or computer that you
own or control and to run such copy of any Application solely for your own personal or internal
business purposes. Furthermore, with respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded
from the Apple App Store (an App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store
Sourced Application (a) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating
system) and (b) as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
Notwithstanding the first sentence in this section, with respect to any Application accessed through or
downloaded from the Google Play store, you may have additional license rights with respect to use of
any Application on a shared basis within your designated family group.
4.2 Updates. You understand that the Services are evolving. As a result, Fleek
may require you to accept updates to any Application that you have installed on your computer or
mobile device. You acknowledge and agree that Fleek may update the Services with or without
notifying you. You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use the
Services.
4.3 Certain Restrictions. The rights granted to you in the Agreement are subject
to the following restrictions: (a) you shall not license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, reproduce,

Website, Platform or Applications; (b) you shall not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any
trademark, logo, or other Content (including images, text, page layout or form) of Fleek; (c) you shall
not use any metatags or other hidden text using Fleek’s name or trademarks; (d) you shall not
modify, translate, adapt, merge, make derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, reverse compile

expressly prohibited by applicable law; (e) you shall not use any manual or automated software,
devices or other processes (including but not limited to spiders, robots, scrapers, crawlers, avatars,
data mining tools or the like) to scrape or download data from any web pages contained in the
Services (except that we grant the operators of public search engines revocable permission to use
spiders to copy materials from the Website for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary
for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such
materials); (f) except as expressly stated herein, no part of the Services may be copied, reproduced,
distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted or transmitted in any form or by any means;
and (g) you shall not remove or destroy any copyright notices or other proprietary markings contained
on or in the Services. Any future release, update or other addition to the Services shall be subject to
the Agreement. Fleek, its suppliers and service providers reserve all rights not granted in the
Agreement. Any unauthorized use of the Services terminates the licenses granted by Fleek pursuant
to the Agreement.

method you use to enroll, you agree that your use of the Message Service is governed by these
Terms of Service. We do not charge for the Message Service but you are responsible for all charges
and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message and data rates
may apply. By enrolling in the Message Service, you authorize us to send recurring SMS and MMS
mobile messages to the telephone number you specify and you represent that you are authorized to
receive mobile messages at such number. The messages sent through the Message Service may
include notifications related to Purchases and marketing or advertising messages, and may be
transmitted using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS”) or other automated systems for the
selection or dialing of telephone numbers. Your consent to receive mobile messages via an ATDS or
other automated system is not required (directly or indirectly) as a condition of purchasing any
property, items or services. Message frequency varies. Text the keyword STOP in reply to any
message you receive through the Message Service to unsubscribe at any time. When you opt-out,
you agree we may send you an opt-out confirmation message. For Message Service support or
assistance, text HELP in reply to any message you receive through the Message Service or email us
at contact@joinfleek.com. We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate
the Message Service at any time with notice to you. You acknowledge that any messages, including
any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may
not be received and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages. We
and the wireless carriers supported by the Message Service are not liable for any failed, delayed or
undelivered messages. If you change your mobile phone number, you agree to opt out of the
Message Service first.

connection with the Services or Content, if Fleek becomes aware of any possible violations by you of
any provision of the Agreement, Fleek reserves the right to investigate such violations, and Fleek
may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your license to use the Services, or change, alter or
remove Your Content, in whole or in part, without prior notice to you.
11. INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.
11.1 User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your interactions with
other Registered Users and any other parties with whom you interact; provided, however, that Fleek
reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. You agree that Fleek will not
be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions.
11.2 Content Provided by Other Users. The Services may contain User Content
provided by other Registered Users. Fleek is not responsible for and does not control User Content.
Fleek has no obligation to review or monitor, and does not approve, endorse or make any
representations or warranties with respect to, User Content. You use all User Content and interact
with other Registered Users at your own risk.
11.3 Subverting the Platform. The value of the Services rests in its thriving
marketplace for Buyers and Sellers. It is a material breach of this Agreement to initiate the sale and/or
purchase of items listed on the Services to then subsequently arrange for the sale of those listed
items from, or the payment of fees to, Sellers outside the context of the Services for the purposes of
circumventing the obligation to pay the Fees to Fleek’s.
12. PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTIONS.
12.1 Risks, No Warranty. You assume certain risks in using a marketplace
service such as Fleek. Fleek is not involved with, nor provides a warranty for, any transaction between
Buyer and Seller, nor has title to any items, and is not the Buyer or Seller in any transaction. You as a
Buyer and/or Seller assume, agree and understand you bear all of the risks in selling or purchasing of
items via the Services.
12.2 Prohibited Items. Fleek prohibits the listing or sale of any item that is illegal
to sell under any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation or applicable third-party agreement, or
for which sales cannot be processed by Fleek’s Payment Processor (as defined in Section 13.1 (Third
Party Payment Processors)). Fleek prohibits the listing or sale of counterfeit items.
12.3 Purchases. Sellers may offer to sell items to Users via the Services, and
once an offer has been accepted via the Services by a Buyer, this is considered a Purchase”, and is
a binding contract. Upon Purchasing an item, a Buyer is obligated to remit payment for the item to
Fleek including any shipping or additional fees listed. Fleek is not a Seller, nor is it an auctioneer or
carrier. Although the Services may include pricing, listing, and shipping assistance, Fleek is not a
Buyer or Seller of items. Fleek may delay any Purchase for purposes of fraud detection or to protect
users from other illegal or wrongful activities. If you indicate that you are purchasing any items in your
capacity as a reseller, then you agree to provide us with such proof as we may request to verify that
you are a reseller, including any certificate of exemption or similar documentation for tax purposes.
12.4 Shipping. Generally, unless a longer fulfillment period is indicated in the
listing and has been pre-approved by Fleek, Sellers must ship item(s) within seven (7) business days
after a Buyer makes a Purchase via the Services. If a Seller is not using a prepaid shipping label
provided by Fleek, then the Seller must also provide tracking information to Fleek within such period.
If Seller does not ship the item or provide any required proof of shipment as described above, we will
notify Seller and Buyer and the order may be cancelled. Prepaid shipping labels provided by Fleek
may only be used to ship the applicable item for which the label was provided, and Seller is fully
responsible for contents of parcel, and must comply with all terms and conditions of the shipping
carrier. Title transfers to Buyer upon shipment.
12.5 Returns and Refunds. If an item is lost, damaged, late, or arrives not as
expected to Buyer, Buyer must report issue to Fleek within three (3) days of delivery or of the date the
shipping carrier indicates that the item was delivered by emailing contact@joinfleek.com. All
Purchases are final, with no returns, refunds, cancellations, or retractions allowed, except where the
Purchase is cancelled where explicitly permitted by Fleek or where applicable, a Seller. As between
Fleek and Seller, Seller, not Fleek, is solely responsible if any items are not delivered or if the items
are delivered in a condition that do not match the description on the Services. Fleek has no obligation
to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in extenuating circumstances. If the item you receive
is not as described on the Services, then you should notify us within three (3) days of delivery (as
determined by the tracking information on the shipping label of the item) by emailing
contact@joinfleek.com. If a Buyer reports a problem with an item, Fleek may forward the query,
complaint or request to the relevant Seller and in such case, the Buyer and Seller agree to allow Fleek
to remain involved in their communications with respect to such item. If the Buyer and Seller cannot
mutually agree on a resolution, then Fleek will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to issue a full
or partial refund, credit or return for any such item.
13. FEES AND PAYMENTS SERVICES.
13.1 Fee Policy. Unless we have otherwise agreed with Seller in writing to a
different fee arrangement, Fleek will charge the Seller a fee of 15% of the list price for any items sold
by the Seller through the Services (“Fee(s)”). We may change our Fees from time to time in
accordance with Section Our right to make changes to these Terms of Service at the beginning
of these Terms of Service. To the extent applicable, any Fees charged to Seller by Fleek may offset
from funds due to Seller in accordance with these Terms.
13.2 Buyer Payments. Buyers contract directly with Sellers for the purchase of
items on the Services. Fleek is not a party to any such sales. Fleek facilitates these sales through
hosting the Services and byproviding a method to facilitate payment for the purchase of items as
described below. All payments must be made through the Services. Fleek, or its Payment Processor
(defined below), will charge the authorized payment method Buyer specifies at the time of purchase or
as otherwise specified by Buyer. Buyers may make payment for a purchase through the Platform via
payment methods made available by Fleek through the Services from time to time, such as ACH,
debit card, credit card, PayPal, or other payments services providers. Type and availability of payment
methods is subject to change from time to time in Fleek’s and Payment Processor’s sole
discretion.You understand and agree that Fleek itself does not process the transmission of funds and
thus it is not a separate and discrete service that Fleek provides in addition to the Services. Users
agrees to provide accurate and complete information in order for Fleek or Payment Processor to
receive, process, and disburse payments made through the Services.
13.3 Payment Processing Services. Payments for purchase made by Buyer are
processed by Fleek and its third party payment service providers (each, a Payment Processor”) on
behalf of Seller to facilitate the settlement of proceeds to the Seller, less any amounts owed to Fleek
as set forth herein. Fleek In order to make or receive payments through the Services (whether as a
Buyer or a Seller), you must provide accurate and complete information, and you authorize us to
share this information with the Payment Processor. Payment information is provided directly to and
stored (as applicable) by the Payment Processor. Fleek does not store your payment information on
its systems and shall not have any responsibility for the safety or security of that information. Your use
of the Payment Processor’s payment processing is conditioned upon your compliance with all of such
Payment Processors applicable terms and conditions, and if your agreement with the Payment
Processor is terminated by the Payment Processor for any reason, you may not be able to use the
Services, or you may have your Account suspended or terminated. We may change any of our
Payment Processors or add other payment processing services at any time upon notice to you, which
may be subject to additional terms or conditions. All payments made through the Services will be held
for a period of three (3) days after delivery (as determined by the tracking information on the shipping
label of the item)., refunds or credits granted in accordance with Section 12.5.
13.4 Appointment of Fleek as Limited Payments Agent. To the extent
applicable, Seller hereby appoints Fleek as its limited payments agent for the sole purpose of
constructively or actually receiving, holding, and settling payments to Seller for purchases made
through the Platform. Fleek, through Payment Processor, will settle payments that are actually or
constructively received by Fleek to Seller, less any amounts owed to Fleek, including fees and other
obligations, as set forth in these Terms. Seller agrees that a payment actually or constructively
received by Fleek or its Payment Processor, on behalf of Seller, satisfies the Buyers obligation to
make payment to Seller for Buyer’s purchase through the Services, regardless of whether Fleek or its
Payment Processor actually settles such payment to Seller. If Fleek does not settle any such
payments as described in these Terms to Seller, Seller will have recourse only against Fleek (or the
Payment Processor, as applicable) and not the Buyer, as payment is deemed made by Buyer to Seller
upon constructive or actual receipt of funds by Fleek and Payment Processor. In accepting this
appointment as the limited payments agent of Seller, as applicable, Seller agrees that Fleek assumes
no liability for any acts or omissions of Seller, and Seller understands that the obligation of Fleek or its
Payment Processor to settle funds to Seller is subject to and conditional upon the Buyers actual
payment and these Terms.
13.5 Disbursement to Seller. Fleek and Payment Processor will timely disburse
funds to Seller after delivery (as determined by the tracking information on the shipping label of the
item) to the account associated with the payout information designated by the Seller. Fleek will offset
its Fee for each Purchase, as well as the cost for any pre-paid shipping labels provided by Fleek and
any other Taxes (as defined in 13.6 (Taxes)) collected by Fleek, from the amount payable to Seller.
Payment amounts settled to Seller in connection with Purchases through the Services are subject to
any returns, refunds or credits granted in accordance with Section 12.5. If payment is made to Seller
in error, or if Seller receives funds that Seller is not otherwise entitled to receive at the time of
disbursement, Fleek and/or its Payment Processor has the right to recoup such amounts from the
Seller, including without limitation by initiating a debit or charge to any account provided by Seller in
connection with the Services. Company may also offset against funds pending settlement to Seller
any other sums due, or reasonably likely to become due, to Company pursuant to these Terms. In
some cases, settlement of the payment processing proceeds could be temporarily delayed by an
issue at Fleek, its Payment Processor, or Buyer’s or Sellers designated financial institution. Fleek is
not obligated to refund any Fees or reimburse any expenses due to delayed settlements. In addition,
Sellers designated financial institution’s settlement and account crediting procedures may at times
cause delays in the crediting of funds to Seller’s linked bank account and Fleek does not have control
over these delays.
13.6 Chargebacks and Holds. In the event that a Buyer submits a chargeback
request to its bank or financial institution in connection with a purchase from Seller, Fleek will inform
Seller of the chargeback request. Seller agrees to provide evidence that the items involved in the
request were shipped and delivered (e.g., tracking information of the shipping carrier), and that such
item(s) were as described in the original listing, as well as any additional information Fleek may
request, within five (5) days of being informed by Fleek of the chargeback. If a chargeback request is
submitted by a Buyer before amounts are settled to Fleek as described in this Section, Seller agrees
that Fleek may hold the settlement until the chargeback dispute is resolved, and if the chargeback
dispute is warranted, Fleek will not settle any such funds for the transaction at issue to the Seller.
Seller also agrees that Fleek and its Payment Processors reserves the right to manage the risks
associated with providing the Services and payment processing for Seller by placing restrictions on
the settlement of funds to Seller when Fleek, or its Payment Processor, deems it is necessary at their
sole discretion, respectively, including as necessary to comply with law or mitigate fraud or abuse of
the Services. For example, a hold may be placed if Fleek has reason to believe there is an increased
risk associated with a certain transaction through the Services, such as if a Buyer files a dispute or
requests a return, or if you are a new Seller or there have been prior complaints or disputes relating to
the Sellers transactions.
[Further, Fleek may temporarily withhold a portion of funds pending settlement to Seller if Fleek or
its Payment Processor, in their respective sole discretion, determine such action is necessary to secure
payment for, performance of, and/or assurances regarding any liabilities, obligations, or indebtedness
Seller may have incurred with Fleek or its Payment Processor or any Buyer.
13.7 For the avoidance of doubt, neither Fleek nor any of its affiliates:
(a) provide payment escrow or services as a regular occupation or
business activity within the meaning of the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (SI 2017/752) and/or
the revised Payment Services Directive ((EU) 2015/2366); or
(b) allow a payer to transfer funds into an account that it controls or
manages, but this does not constitute settlement of the payers debt to the payee, to subsequently
transfer corresponding amounts to the payee, pursuant to an agreement with the payee.
13.8 Taxes. The amounts paid under this Agreement do not include any Sales
Tax, value-added tax, or any other charges such as duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government
imposed surcharges (collectively, Taxes”) that may be due in connection with any Purchase that is
facilitated via the Services under this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, as
between Fleek and the Seller, the Seller is solely responsible for all Taxes in connection with any
Purchase that is facilitated via the Services. If Fleek determines it has a legal obligation to obtain a
certificate of exemption or similar documentation to proceed with a transaction without collecting
Sales Tax from a User, the User agrees to provide such certificate of exemption or similar
documentation. If Fleek determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from a User in
connection with this Agreement, Fleek shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the amounts required
under this Agreement. If any Purchases, Services, or payments for any Services or Purchases, under
the Agreement are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable
Sales Tax to Fleek, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related
penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Fleek for any liability or
expense Fleek may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Fleek’s request, you will provide
it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence that you have
paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section,”SalesTax shall mean any sales or use tax,any
value added tax (or equivalent tax) and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the
functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose
a sales or use tax.
13.9 Additional Information Regarding Payments Services. As between Fleek
and the Payment Processor, Fleek is solely responsible for (i) the Services and (ii) any liability which
may arise from your access to or use of the Services including: (a) the development, use, marketing
or distribution of or access to the Services, including support of the Services; or (b) Fleek’s access,
use, distribution or storage of your data as described in our Privacy Policy. The Payment Processor is
not liable for any fault in the Services or any harm that may result from its access or use, and except
where expressly stated by the Payment Processor, the Payment Processor cannot provide assistance
with the access or use of the Services.
14. RELEASE. Fleek expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between Users of its
Services. The Services are only a venue for connecting Buyers with Sellers. Because Fleek is not a
party to the actual contracts between Buyers and Sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with
one or more Users, you release Fleek, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees,
investors, agents, partners and licensors, but excluding any Users (each a Fleek Party and
collectively, the Fleek Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or
consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed
and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which
states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know
or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or
her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” The
foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions
of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial
practice by a Fleek Party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or
concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Services provided
hereunder.
15. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to
indemnify and hold the Fleek Parties harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your
Content; (b) your inability to use any Service; (c) your violation of the Agreement; (d) your violation of
any rights of another party, including any Registered Users; or (e) your violation of any applicable
laws, rules or regulations. Fleek reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense
and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully
cooperate with Fleek in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to
indemnify any of the Fleek Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for
such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or
omission of any material fact in connection with the Services. You agree that the provisions in this
section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement and/or your access to the
Services.

Agreement.
20.3 Termination of Services. We may suspend or terminate the Services or your

20.5 No Subsequent Registration. If your registration(s) with, or ability to access,
the Services or any other Fleek community, is discontinued by Fleek due to your violation of any
portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate for the community, then you agree
that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Services or any Fleek community through
use of a different username, business name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be
entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Services to which your access has been
terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Fleek reserves the right,
in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or
warning to you.
21. PLATFORM IS US-BASED. The Services are controlled and offered by Fleek from its
facilities in the United States of America. The Services can be accessed from countries around the
world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country.
These references do not imply that Fleek intends to announce such Services or Content in your
country. Fleek makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other
locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and
are responsible for compliance with local law.
22. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (APPLICABLE TO U.S. USERS ONLY). Please read the following
arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires U.S. Users to
arbitrate disputes with Fleek and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
22.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this
Arbitration Agreement, you and Fleek (including its affiliates) agree that any dispute, claim,
disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services or the
Agreement and prior versions of the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us
before the effective date of this Agreement (each a Dispute”), will be resolved by binding arbitration,
rather than in court, except that (i) you and Fleek may assert claims or seek relief in a small claims
court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (ii) you and Fleek may seek
equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
22.2 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND FLEEK HEREBY WAIVE ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN
FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Fleek are instead electing that all Disputes shall be
resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the paragraph entitled
“Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review
of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. Discovery may be limited in arbitration, and
procedures are more streamlined than in court.
22.3 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND FLEEK AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS
SPECIFIED IN THE PARAGRAPH ENTITLED “BATCH ARBITRATION” BELOW, EACH OF US MAY
BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS,
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS
TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED
ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL
RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT
BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in
favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted
by the party's individual claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement,
if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the
limitations of this subsection, “Class Action Waiver” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular
claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Fleek agree that that
particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be
severed from the arbitration and shall be pursued in accordance with Section 24.5 (Exclusive Venue).
All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not
prevent you or Fleek from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
22.4 Informal Dispute Resolution. You and Fleek agree to try to resolve any
Dispute informally before resorting to arbitration. You and Fleek therefore agree that before either
party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so
elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort
to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute
Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the
conference, but you will also participate in the conference. The party initiating a Dispute must give
notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference
(“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an
extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Fleek that you intend to initiate an Informal
Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to contact@jonfleek.com or regular mail to
our offices located at 2261 Market Street, #4612 San Francisco, California 94114. Notice to you will
be sent to the address or email address associated with your account or to your publicly available
address or email address if you do not have an account with us. The Notice must include: (1) your
name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address associated with your account (if you have
one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e-mail address of your counsel, if any;
and (3) a description of your Dispute. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be
individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute,
even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all
parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute
Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution
Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing
arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties
engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.
22.5 Arbitration Procedures. You and Fleek agree that this Arbitration
Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.,
applies. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily
within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and Fleek agree that either party shall have the
right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA's rules are available on its website at www.adr.org
or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If you are a consumer, the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules then in
effect will apply. If you are using the Services as a business and your claims exceed $75,000, the
Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA's rules
and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall control. A party who wishes to initiate
arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the Request”). The Request
must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address of the party seeking
arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any
applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those
claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in
controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute
Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any
necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. To initiate arbitration, you must send the
Request to contact@joinfleek.com and 2261 Market Street, #4612 San Francisco, California 94114
22.6 . If we initiate arbitration, we will send the Request to the address or email
address associated with your account or to your publicly available address or email address if you do
not have an account with us. Both parties must comply with the AAA's rules regarding initiation of
arbitration. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the
applicable AAA rules. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless
the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was
frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Unless you and Fleek otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration
process discussed below is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.
22.7 Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution
of arbitrations, you and Fleek agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more
individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Fleek by or with the assistance of the
same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as
possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests
per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described
above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch;
and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of
filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in
a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). All parties agree
that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or
factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the
extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party
shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the
applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite
resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative
Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The
Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Fleek. You and Fleek agree to cooperate in good faith
with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and
administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of
arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the
arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the
arbitration proceedings.
22.8 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to
resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation
or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity
of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1)
all Disputes arising out of or relating to the paragraph entitled “Class Action Waiver,” including any
claim that that same paragraph is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that it has been
breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as
expressly contemplated in the paragraph entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment
of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator;
(3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be
decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about
which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent
jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive
of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision
describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the
calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us. If the Dispute
is not covered by any arbitration agreement between you and us, it shall proceed in accordance with
Section 24.5 (Exclusive Venue).

United States, nothing in this Agreement shall deprive you of any mandatory protection you have
under the law of the country where you live or access to the courts in that country.
