A. License: HPS grants you a limited license to access and make personal use of the Services to make payments related to goods and services provided at or through your child's school or school district. You may also be able to use the Services to obtain information about the balance of your child's account and to review your child's purchases, including food purchases at the school cafeteria. You acknowledge and agree that HPS is not responsible for the accuracy of this information because the content is provided by the school or third parties' software systems, and the accuracy of the content is outside of HPS' control. HPS shall not be responsible for any loss or damages caused or alleged to have been caused by the use of or reliance on any such content. The Services are intended to be used by adults who can make purchases with a credit card.

Access Credentials: In order to access the Services via the MySchoolBucks website or the MySchoolBucks mobile application, you must establish access credentials (e.g., a user name and password) that will enable you to log into and use the Services ("Access Credentials"). Your Access Credentials will enable HPS to authenticate you as an authorized user of the Services and to provide appropriate authorizations regarding the scope of your use of the Services. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Access Credentials. You may not share your Access Credentials with any third party. You are responsible for any use of or access to the Services and any activities conducted therein via your Access Credentials. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of or compromise of your Access Credentials, you must notify HPS immediately. With respect to the MySchoolBucks mobile application, and from time to time, HPS may make available to you via the applicable app store, updates, bug fixes, upgrades, patches and/or new versions of the Services (collectively, "Updates"). You agree to promptly install such Updates when they become available to you. You understand and agree that Updates may include necessary functionality and/or fixes to protect the security of the Services and that your failure to promptly install such Updates may compromise your ability to use the Services and/or result in the disabling of your Access Credentials.

You may make payments to HPS for deposit in your child's school account in a number of ways, including by using a credit card or electronic check. Your credit card provider may have imposed a maximum amount which can be placed on your credit card. HPS endeavors to process payments promptly so the funds will be available for your child's use. However, we make no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing your payment. A number of factors, such as delays in the banking system, electronic funds transfer systems or school district network, are outside our control and will affect when the funds are received by your child's school. The school's use of payments or prepayments is governed by your agreement or arrangement with the school or school district, and HPS is not responsible for the school's handling of your payments or prepayments after the school receives the funds from the Services, including, but not limited to, any failure by a school or school district to record, apply, or refund a payment made by you via the Services.

You will not try to prevent HPS from debiting your bank account, and acknowledge that any dispute is limited to any errors that HPS made in processing. HPS does not have any responsibility for information that you entered incorrectly.
B. Recurring Payments. If you selected recurring payments, you authorize HPS to debit the bank account or credit card as you indicated on our website for the noted amount on the schedule indicated. You understand that this authorization will remain in effect until the scheduled end date, or until you cancel the payment, whichever comes first.

You understand that because this is an electronic transaction, these funds may be withdrawn from your account each period as soon as the above noted transaction date. You acknowledge that by using an electronic check for this transaction, you must comply with U.S. law. You will not try to prevent HPS from debiting your bank account, and acknowledge that any dispute is limited to any errors that HPS made in processing.

If you or your child are not satisfied with any good or service purchased using the Services, you agree to resolve the issue exclusively with the child's school or school district. You agree that you will not seek and are not entitled to a refund from HPS. If you would like a refund of any kind from your child's school or school district, you must contact your child's school or school district. Refund policies may vary from one school district to another. Program Fees are not refundable, and you agree that you will not seek and are not entitled to refund of any Program Fee.

HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS, LLC, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA, CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:19-CV-00724.

HPS DENIES THE ALLEGATIONS. IF YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND A CLASS IS CERTIFIED IN THE STORY MATTER, YOU WILL NOT PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STORY CASE AS A CLASS MEMBER.**
IF YOU PROCEED WITH A TRANSACTION THROUGH OR USING MYSCHOOLBUCKS AFTER THESE TOS ARE EFFECTIVE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION AND ARE BOUND BY THEM.
A. Mandatory Arbitration: YOU AND HPS AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (AS DEFINED BELOW) SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT YOU OR HPS MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF THE CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND PROCEEDS ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NOT A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
You and HPS agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and any right to have a Dispute heard in court. Instead, you and HPS agree to have all Disputes resolved in arbitration by a neutral third-party arbitrator. In arbitration, Disputes are resolved by an arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited than in court and the arbitrator's decision is subject to limited review by courts. However, the arbitrator must follow the law and can award the same relief, on an individual basis, as in court, including monetary damages, injunctive relief, declaratory relief and other relief. The arbitrator's award can be confirmed in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator, whose award may not exceed, in form or amount, the relief allowed by the applicable law. The arbitration shall be conducted in the county of your residence or other location if mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). For claims of $25,000 or less, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. For claims over $25,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If either set of rules are not available, the AAA rules applicable to consumer disputes shall apply. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org.
This arbitration provision is entered pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), which shall govern its interpretation and enforcement. To the extent any issues arise as to which the FAA does not apply or govern, this "Dispute Resolution" section and all substantive claims shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The arbitrator shall decide all issues of interpretation, scope, and application of this "Dispute Resolution" section and the arbitration provision, with the exception of deciding whether the Arbitration Class Action Waiver in Section 14(A)(i) is valid or enforceable. Any question regarding the validity or enforceability of Section 14(A)(i) shall be resolved by a state or federal court in Fulton County, Georgia, which You and HPS agree shall be the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for any such question to be resolved (and for which You and HPS consent to the Court's jurisdiction and waive any right to challenge jurisdiction or venue). This Dispute Resolution section shall survive termination of this agreement. The agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.
i. Arbitration Class Action Waiver: You and HPS agree that arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis and that any Dispute shall not be arbitrated as a class action, shall not be consolidated with the claims of any other party, and shall not be arbitrated on a consolidated, representative or private attorney general basis. The award or decision in the arbitration will not have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims involved in any proceeding between HPS and anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. The arbitrator may award monetary, declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. The arbitrator's monetary, declaratory and injunctive award, if any, shall not apply to any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration.
Any questions regarding the enforceability of this Section 14(A)(i) shall be decided by a court and not the arbitrator. If any portion of this Section 14(A)(i) is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire arbitration provision in Section 14 (other than this sentence and Section 14(B)) shall be null and void and not apply. In no case shall an arbitration proceed on a class basis.
ii. Small Claims and Agency Proceedings: Notwithstanding anything else in this "Dispute Resolution" section, you or HPS may bring an individual action in small claims court if it so qualifies and so long as it remains in small claims court on an individual, and not a class or representative, basis. Further, this arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
iii. Fees and Costs: For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees, are $25,000.00 or less ("Small Claim"), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs (separate from Arbitration Costs as defined below) as part of any award, but may not grant HPS its attorney fees, expert witness fees or costs (separate from Arbitration Costs) unless it is determined that the claim was frivolous or brought in bad faith. In a Small Claim case, HPS will pay all filing, administrative and arbitrator costs (together, "Arbitration Costs") associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of Arbitration Costs by HPS shall be submitted to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration; provided, however, that if you want HPS to advance the Arbitration Costs for a Small Claim prior to filing, HPS will do so at your written request which must be sent to Heartland Payment Systems, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 3550 Lenox Rd NE, Suite 3000, Atlanta, GA 30326. In a Small Claim case, you may choose to have the arbitration carried out based only on documents submitted to the arbitrator or by a telephonic hearing, subject to the arbitrator, acting in his or her discretion, deciding to require an in-person hearing.
The party or parties responsible for Arbitration Costs for arbitrations in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees, exceed $25,000.00 ("Large Claim") shall be determined according to AAA rules; provided, however, that if you are able to demonstrate that the Arbitration Costs will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, HPS will pay as much of the Arbitration Costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. In a Large Claim case, the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among the parties, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and costs (separate from Arbitration Costs).
B. Non-Arbitration Class Action and Jury Waiver: If for any reason any Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and HPS each waive any right to a jury trial, and any Dispute that proceeds in court shall proceed solely on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis. In any Dispute that proceeds in court, neither you nor HPS may be a class representative or class member or otherwise participate in any class, consolidated, private attorney general or representative proceeding. If for any reason any Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and HPS also agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for any such action shall be a state or federal court in Fulton County, Georgia (and for which you and HPS consent to the Court's jurisdiction and waive any right to challenge jurisdiction or venue.
C. Severability: If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Dispute Resolution section, other than Section 14(A)(i) is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Dispute Resolution Section shall still apply. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in all cases, Section 14(B) shall remain in effect, valid and enforceable.
D. Definitions: The terms "Dispute" and "Disputes" shall be broadly interpreted to include any claims, disputes, disagreements or controversies that you and HPS had, have or may in the future have against each other, whether based in contract or tort or on a statute or regulation or any other legal theory, including, without limitation, all claims, disputes, disagreements or controversies related in any way to or arising in any way out of (a) your use of the MySchoolBucks' website, mobile application, or platform; (b) your application to, enrollment with, or use of the MySchoolBucks website, mobile application or any software or hardware platform operated by or for MySchoolBucks, (c) any transaction processed with or through HPS; (d) any other HPS product or service made available through MySchoolBucks or the MySchoolBucks website or mobile application; (e) any HPS advertisement, representation or marketing, including, without limitation, any advertisement, representation or marketing on the MySchoolBucks website or mobile application; (f) any contract, warranty, or other agreement you had or have with HPS; (f) any HPS billing or other policy or practice; (g) any action or inaction by any HPS officers, directors, employees, agents, or other representatives relating to any HPS product, marketing, representation or service, including without limitation MySchoolBucks; (h) any claims HPS brings against you; and (i) any aspect of the relationship between you and HPS. "Dispute" and "Disputes" includes claims, disputes, disagreements or controversies that arose at any time, including before this ToS became operative and after these ToS terminated.
WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
