If any Force Majeure Event prevents the Merchant from carrying out its obligations hereunder for a continuous period of more than fourteen (14) days, Floom may terminate these Terms immediately by providing written notice to the Merchant.
32. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
32.1 Generally. Except for the right of either party to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, any dispute, controversy or claim arising in any way out of or in connection with these Terms, including the existence, validity,
interpretation, performance, breach or termination of the Terms, or any dispute regarding pre contractual or non-contractual rights or obligations arising out of or relating to it (“Dispute”) will be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. MERCHANT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, MERCHANT AND FLOOM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
32.2 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between the parties will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its [Commercial Arbitration Rules] (collectively, the “Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800- 778-7879, or by contacting Floom. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
32.3 Process. Floom will reimburse Merchant for its payment of the filing fee, unless Merchant’s claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York City, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, Merchant may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the Rules in the county (or parish) of the address provided to Floom for notice. The arbitration tribunal will consist of three arbitrators to be appointed in accordance with the Rules. Arbitration will be conducted in English. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
32.4 No Class Actions. MERCHANT AND FLOOM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both Merchant and Floom agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one individual’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
32.5 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Floom makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Floom’s address for notice, Merchant may reject the change by providing Floom with written notice within 30 days of the change, in which case Merchant’s Account will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes that Merchant rejected will survive.
32.6 Enforceability. If Section 32.4 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 32 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 32 will be null and
void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 33.8 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
33. General
33.1 Assignment and subcontracting
(a) The Merchant may not assign or transfer these Terms or its rights under these Terms, or subcontract its obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Floom’s prior written consent.

33.4 Severance
(a) If any term or other provision of these Terms is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, such term or provision will be modified by such court to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant term or provision will be severed and the remaining terms of these Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision of these Terms would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.
33.5 Waiver
A waiver of any right or remedy under the Agreement is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. Failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
33.6 Third party rights
These Terms not intended to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party.
33.7 Variation
Except as expressly provided in these Terms, these Terms may not be modified except by a writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties.
33.8 Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of [New York], and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [New York].
