β
β
4.1 Wanderlust Membership Services Offer. Holders of the Ontop Card will be able to subscribe to the Wanderlust Membership Subscription Package above, but subscription to Wanderlust Membership Services is not required in order to have access to or use the Ontop Card.

β
4.1.1 Yearly Payment of Subscription Fee. Subscribers may choose to make advance payment of the Subscription Fee once a year at a discounted rate, rather than being charged for the Fees on a monthly basis. In such cases, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of our refund policy, as per Section 4.8 below.
β
4.2 Credit to Ontop Card. Cashback Benefits are calculated once the monthly Ontop Card spending summary has been issued at the end of each calendar month. All benefits and bonuses listed below will be credited to the Subscriberβs Ontop Card balance in the first fifteen (15) calendar days of the month subsequent to the previous calendar month. We may credit benefits and bonuses on a more frequent basis, at our sole discretion, but we make no guarantees or assurances in this regard.
β
4.3 Personal Money Managers. βMoney Managersβ are our customer service representatives who will deliver premium experience, support and care service to our Subscribers when subscribed to this benefit.

In those cases where Subscribers are entitled to a higher percentage of Cashback due to specific purchases promoted by the Subscription Package (e.g. coworking, ride and food/delivery app, streaming service or travel/accommodation purchases, among others), only the special Cashback rate will apply. For the avoidance of doubt, Cashback Benefits cannot be combined and/or used in conjunction with each other.
β
4.4.3 Cashback Benefit Taxation. Cashback Benefits are usually seen as non-taxable because of their nature as a rebate. However, please consult with your tax advisor or accountant about the benefits received and if these are considered income in your jurisdiction and subject to reporting.
β
4.5 Physical Ontop Card. Subscribers will be entitled to receive a physical version of the Ontop Card, either in plastic or metal, according to availability (βPhysical Ontop Cardβ). Delivery times may vary depending on your location, but we will make all efforts to deliver the Physical Ontop Card in the shortest time period possible. We make no guarantees with respect to the type of Physical Ontop Card that you will receive.
β
4.6 Charging for Subscription Fees. Once subscribed to Wanderlust Membership Services, Users will be automatically charged the Fees for the respective Subscription Package on a monthly basis, which will be deducted from their Ontop Wallet balance. The Subscription Fee will be charged on the last business day of the month; if the first charge is unsuccessful, Ontop will attempt to charge the Subscription Fee on the fifth day of the subsequent month.Β
β
4.6.1 Automatic Cancellation for Lack of Funds. If the payment of the Subscription Fee is unsuccessful after the two attempts to charge the Subscription Fee as per Section 4.6 above, Ontop will automatically cancel the Wanderlust Membership Services. Automatic cancellation for lack of funds in the Subscriberβs Ontop Wallet balance will result in ineligibility to receive benefits, bonuses and/or special services for the month(s) where the Subscription Fee to Wanderlust Membership Services has not been paid.

In order to unsubscribe or change any Subscription Packages, Subscribers may click on the "Unsubscribe" button on the first communication sent by Ontop or write to cx@getontop.com at least five (5) calendar days before the date in which the Subscription Fee is charged every month, in order to ensure cancellation of Wanderlust Membership Services at the end of that month or the application of the conditions of a new Subscription Package on the following month. Subscribers can also unsubscribe from Wanderlust Membership Services from within the Ontop Platform, by reaching out to live chat with customer service.
β
4.8 Refund Policy. Subscribers will be entitled to a full refund within the first five (5) calendar days after the first charge of the Subscription Fee following signup for the Subscription Plan. In the event that you have made payment of the Subscription Fees on aΒ yearly basis and wish to unsubscribe from your Wanderlust Membership Subscription Package before the end of the year, you will not be eligible for a refund. We do not provide cash refunds, and we reserve the right to provide credit for future Subscription Packages or the acquisition of other services provided by Ontop, at our sole discretion. We make no guarantees or assurances with respect to refunds, and any requests for refunds that you make will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
β
4.9 No Multiple Subscriptions. Subscribers cannot be subscribed to more than one Subscription Plan at a time. Therefore, benefits cannot be combined and/or used in conjunction with one another.
4.10 Taxation of Benefits. Please consult with your tax advisor or accountant for the taxation of the benefits received and/or discounts provided through Wanderlust Membership Services.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution βοΈ
9.1 Governing Law. These Terms of Service will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not govern these Terms or the rights or obligations of the Parties under these Terms.
β
9.2 Arbitration Agreement. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Ontop and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
β
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Ontop that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Ontop, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
β
(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (βNoticeβ) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Ontop should be sent to: 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, New Castle County,Β Delaware, 19808. After the Notice is received, you and Ontop may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Ontop do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
β
(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (βAAAβ), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (βADR Providerβ) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (βArbitration Rulesβ) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Ontop made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Ontop will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorneyβs fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
β
(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
β
(e) Time Limits. If you or Ontop pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
β
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Ontop, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. 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 arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Ontop.
β
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Ontop in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SUCH CONTROVERSIES.
β
(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE SUBSCRIBER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER SUBSCRIBER.
β
(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
β
(j) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
β
(k) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
β
(l) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Ontop.
β
(m) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Ontop may bring an individual action in small claims court.
β
(n) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
β
(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other partyβs patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
β
(p) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court and/or if the dispute is deemed as non-arbitrable by the arbitrator(s) or a court of law, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the Southern District of Miami-Dade County, Florida, for such purpose.
