2. PSA AS AN INTERMEDIARY AND YOUR OPTIONS

One of the Services PSA offers is a store through http://www.buypsa.com/ (the “PSA Store”), whereby PSA makes available for purchase certain products (collectively “Partner Products”) offered by PSA’s industry leading product and solution providers (each a, “PSA Partner”). The PSA Partners are responsible for the Partner Products and PSA does not provide any guarantee or warranty with respect to the Partner Products. The PSA Partners’ terms and privacy policies (“Partner Terms”) apply with respect to Partner Products (other than with respect to your use of the PSA Store, which is governed by these Terms and Conditions). To the extent there is a conflict between the Partner Terms and these Terms and Conditions with regard to a Partner Product, the Partner Terms shall control.

PSA Partners submit information regarding availability and prices of the Partner Products to PSA. PSA, to the best of its ability, verifies the information provided by each PSA Partner; however, PSA shall not be liable for any inadvertent errors or omissions with respect to such information.

PSA acts as an intermediary with respect to any purchase of Partner Products through the PSA Store. Unless otherwise clearly stated by PSA to you, PSA shall be your point of contact with regard to purchases of Partner Products from the PSA Store, including payment for the purchase of Partner Products. Should you have any issues with a Partner Product purchased from the PSA Store, please contact PSA immediately, and we will work with the applicable PSA Partner to resolve your issue. We will assist you in processing warranty claims, returns, refunds, or questions you may have regarding Partner Products purchased through the PSA Store.

PSA DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF MATERIAL AND CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE PSA STORE OR OTHERWISE ON THE PSA PLATFORM. WE WILL TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO INVESTIGATE ANY REPORTED INACCURACY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION WE WILL CORRECT ANY INACCURACY THAT WE DETERMINE EXISTS, AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION MAY PROVIDE REFUNDS, IF APPLICABLE.

Should you have any issues with the PSA Store, a PSA Partner or Partner Product, please contact PSA immediately at support@psasecurity.com and PSA will do its best to help resolve your issue.

Your interaction with any PSA Partner accessed outside of the PSA Platform without PSA’s assistance is at your own risk. PSA does not bear any responsibility or liability arising from any interaction with any PSA Partner.

7. FEES AND PAYMENT

As part of our Services, the PSA Platform may facilitate payments made to PSA, or to PSA Partners for Partner Products you purchase (“Fees”). Your Fees are determined by the products or services you choose to purchase, therefore, Fees will vary for each User.

Fees may be collected and distributed through a third-party payment processing service, such as PayPal or Stripe, therefore you may be required to register with a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”). PSA may replace its Payment Processor at its sole discretion without notice to you. Additionally, you may be required to agree to terms of service of the Payment Processor, and go through a vetting process at the request of the Payment Processor to set up your account with the Payment Processor (“Payment Processor Services Agreement”). By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you have reviewed and agreed to the Payment Processor Services Agreement. You also agree that your account with a Payment Processor is accurate, current, and complete.

Please note that we are not a party to the Payment Processor Services Agreement and that you, the Payment Processor and any other parties listed in the Payment Processor Services Agreement are the parties to the Payment Processor Services Agreement and that we have no obligations, responsibility or liability to you or any other party under the Payment Processor Services Agreement. To help prevent fraud and safeguard your information from the risk of unauthorized access, we and/or the Payment Processor may validate an account before activation.

All Fees will be billed to the credit card, or other payment method, with which you provide us through your Account with a Payment Processor (“Payment Method”). You authorize the Payment Method issuer to pay any Fees incurred by you, regardless of whether you incur Fees as a guest through a one-time transaction or under your Account.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate billing and Payment Method information. You agree to promptly update Payment Method numbers, expiration dates and billing address to keep your Account current and accurate. You must update your card in the event it is lost or stolen.

If your Fees are not paid by your Payment Method issuer, you agree to pay all Fees you incur by providing another Payment Method. Should you have difficulty making a payment, please contact us at ap@psasecurity.com for additional payment options, provided, however, that PSA does not guarantee that there is another payment option beyond using a Payment Processor.

You agree to pay all costs of collection efforts reasonable or necessary to collect amounts owed by you to PSA or any PSA Partner, including attorney fees and costs.

Failure to maintain current, complete, and accurate billing and Payment Method information may affect your use and access to the PSA Platform and Services.

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, in our sole discretion, upon request or claim from you, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the PSA Platform or Services, to (1) place on hold any Fees, charges, payment, or (2) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the Payment Processor to do so. Should you have any issue with respect to any payment, please contact us at ap@psasecurity.com.

8. DISCOUNT, COUPONS, OR GIFT CODES

PSA, at its sole discretion, may make available promotions and discounts to any User or prospective User.

From time to time, we may offer incentives to refer your contacts to become new Users of the PSA Platform (the “Referral Program”). These incentives may come in the form of credits, and we may set or change the incentive types, amounts, terms, restrictions, and qualification requirements for any incentives in our sole discretion.

A Payment Method may be required to redeem a discount or coupon code. It is your own responsibility to use a discount, coupon or gift code before it expires, and expired codes cannot be refunded or extended.

Our Designated Agent email is: marketing@psasecurity.com.

If you are a copyright or trademark owner (or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright or trademark owner) and believe that your work’s copyright or trademark has been infringed, please report your notice of infringement to us by providing our Designated Agent with a written notification of claimed infringement that includes substantially the following:

We will investigate notices of copyright and trademark infringement and take appropriate actions under the DMCA. Inquiries that do not follow this procedure may not receive a response.

In furtherance, and not in limitation of these Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to terminate when and as we deem appropriate in our discretion any User who is or is suspected to be a repeat infringer of copyright or other IP rights. In the case of such termination, we will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid in respect of the PSA Platform or Services.

15. ARBITRATION

YOU AND PSA MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH BELOW.

Except where prohibited, by accessing or using the PSA Platform or Services, you agree that any and all questions, controversies, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise in connection with the PSA Platform or Services shall be resolved exclusively by means of arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in Denver, Colorado, and shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action or representative action, and you agree that you shall not seek to aggregate any claims with other individuals. For clarity, you agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the enforceability of these Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms and Conditions are unconscionable, void, or voidable. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Denver, Colorado. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules of the State of Colorado or of any other jurisdiction. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of three per party and shall be held within twenty days of the making of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitrators, and for good cause shown. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of seven hours duration. Time is of the essence for any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions and arbitration hearings shall take place within ninety (90) days of filing and awards rendered within one hundred twenty (120) days. The Arbitrator shall agree to these limits prior to accepting appointment. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages. The prevailing party shall not be entitled to an award of attorney fees. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The parties agree that failure or refusal of a party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that party to present evidence or cross-examine witness. In such event, the other party shall be required to present evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator may require for the making of an award. Such waiver shall not allow for a default judgment against the non-paying party in the absence of evidence presented as provided for above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any claim, action, or dispute relating to the ownership of IP be submitted to arbitration. Those who choose to access the PSA Platform do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws including, but not limited to, any applicable local laws.

16. GENERAL PROVISIONS

The provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms and Conditions, shall so survive such termination.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PSA PLATFORM OR SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES AND MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ARBITRTATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15 ABOVE. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

No waiver by us of any term or condition set out in these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of PSA to assert a right or provision under these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and if such provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable nonetheless, the provision shall be deemed to be severable from the remainder of these Terms and Conditions and shall not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of these Terms and Conditions.

These Terms and Conditions constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and PSA and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the PSA Platform or Services.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms and Conditions, the PSA Platform, or Services, please contact support@psasecurity.com.
