To help you understand the Vendor Terms of Service, we’ve prepared a bullet-point list that summarizes some of the main ideas (yes, including rights, obligations, liabilities, and all that legalese!) covered in there.

IMPORTANT: The following bullet-point list is for convenience purposes only, in order to help you navigate (and hopefully, better understand) the Vendor Terms of Service. This bullet-point list is not a substitute for, or even a part of, the Vendor Terms of Service, whose terms and conditions constitute a legally binding contract. It is your responsibility to fully read those terms and conditions.

General

The agreement is published at https://freemius.com/terms/vendor/
You (the “Vendor”) must be of a legal age in your jurisdiction to form a binding contract, but in any event at least thirteen (13) years old to access or use the Freemius service.
You must be the legal owner and posses all rights necessary for each of the products you register to Freemius. If you’re trying to open an account on behalf of another individual, please invite them to register to be the account owner.
Your products and content must not contain viruses, malware, spyware or similar malicious items. Nor can they be offensive, harassing, deceptive or abusive, or promote or contain violence or other illegal activities or content (like illegal drugs, pornography, impersonation of others, breaches of national security, etc.). And just as important, they must not infringe or violate any third party rights (including intellectual property rights). Bottom line: you are responsible for your products and content, not Freemius.
The agreement is between you and Freemius, Inc. You may not assign or transfer it without Freemius’ express prior written consent.
To better protect personal data, we are providing this Data Processing Addendum (DPA) to govern Freemius’ and your handling of personal data.
The agreement contains various clauses to limit and exclude Freemius’ liability, and it also contains indemnity protection for Freemius.
Please also check out Section 18 (Dispute Resolution), as it contains important rights, obligations, and limitations as to how you and Freemius are to handle any disputes between us.

Selling with Freemius

As a reseller, similar to Walmart®, we buy software licenses from you in a wholesale gradual discounted prices (check Exhibit A of the agreement), and sell them to customers based on the full-price (MSRP) you configure in the Freemius Dashboard. The more sales of your product(s) we generate the lower the discounted price can go (and grow your sales margin accordingly). After selling licenses at the worth of $5,000 the discounted price will be 7% (our margin).
You are not allowed to upload products which you do not own.
You grant Freemius a license to commercialize your product(s) (including re-selling those licenses) to customers. You also grant us other licenses – for example, to use and process your content.
You will receive your earnings once a month (around the 10th calendar day) for your total sales and renewals made up to the last calendar day of the month prior to the previous month.
The minimum payout amount is USD $100. If your earnings do not meet the minimum threshold, the earnings will be withheld and roll over and be payable in a subsequent payment cycle when the threshold (USD $100) will have been met.
We can send you the earnings via PayPal, Payoneer, or bank wires (SWIFT/IBAN). Each payout method incurs different fees (check Exhibit A).
As a reseller, Freemius handles consumer sales-related taxes (like VAT) for you. However, it’s your responsibility to pay any taxes or similar governmental charges on earnings paid to you by Freemius.
You are responsible for managing and handling customer refunds.
You are responsible for supporting your customers, not Freemius. If there are any issues relating to any of the Freemius mechanisms, you should contact us via [email protected] and we’ll help out, if the issue is indeed related to any of our services.
Check out Exhibit A to get a complete overview of the Gateway Fees, Payout Fees, Refund Fees, and Chargeback Fees.

To the extent Vendor has entered into an Order Form for the Service Subscription, and such Order Form specifies any quantity, location, Feature, duration or other limitations or conditions on the scope of the Service Subscription (such as limitations on the number of Authorized Users, if applicable), the Service Subscription shall be subject to such limitations and conditions. Each Order Form is hereby incorporated into, and made a part of, this Agreement by reference.

4. DATA AND PRIVACY

4.1.
General. Vendor Content received during the Account registration process will be processed by Freemius in accordance with the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated into, and made a part of, this Agreement by reference. Furthermore, Freemius reserves the right to automatically download Vendor Content to Freemius’ cloud-based database(s) for the purposes of backup and otherwise providing Vendor with the Service.
4.2.
Location Data. Certain Features may be dependent on data related to Vendor’s geographic location (“Location Data”), and using such Features constitutes Vendor’s consent to provide or to make its Location Data accessible to us. To the extent that we do collect Location Data, we shall use it in accordance with the Privacy Policy. If Vendor does not provide or make such Location Data accessible, then the Features may be limited or not operate.
4.3.
Data Processing Addendum. To the extent that Freemius, as part of processing Vendor Content in connection with the Service or performance under this Agreement, processes any Personal Data that is subject to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), the provisions of the Data Processing Addendum shall apply. The Data Processing Addendum is hereby incorporated into, and made a part of, this Agreement by reference. For Vendor’s located in the European Union or the European Economic Area, the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission also apply to such processing. Vendor acknowledges, in all cases and under all data protection and data privacy Laws of the EU and EEA, that Freemius acts as the ‘data processor’ (or Processor, as defined in the Data Processing Addendum), and Vendor is the ‘data controller’ (or Controller, as defined in the Data Processing Addendum) of Vendor Content and any Personal Data therein.

6. THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND SOURCES

The Service may present, or otherwise allow Vendor to view, access, link to, and/or interact with, Content from third parties and other sources that are not owned or controlled by Freemius (such Content, “Third Party Content”). The Service may also enable Vendor to communicate with the related third parties. The display or communication to Vendor of such Third Party Content does not (and shall not be construed to) in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by Freemius of such Third Party Content or third party, nor any affiliation between Freemius and such third party. Freemius does not assume any responsibility or liability for Third Party Content, or any third party’s terms of use, privacy policies, actions, omissions, or practices. Vendor should read the terms of use and privacy policy of any third party that Vendor interacts with before it engage in any such activity.

Authentication with Third Party Integrations (aka OAuth)

If you choose to sign-up/in by connecting through third-party integrations (e.g., Google Connect, GitHub Connect), such third parties allow us to have access to and store your email, name, profile picture, and additional meta data required for authentication. By enabling these connections, you authorize us to connect and access the information provided through these connections, and you understand that the privacy policies of these third parties govern such connections.

7. VENDOR CONTENT AND PRODUCTS

7.1.
Responsibility. As between Vendor and Freemius, Vendor is solely responsible and liable for (and agrees to hold harmless and release Freemius and all Freemius Affiliates from) all Vendor Content and Products, and for Freemius’ use of the foregoing, as well as for the consequences of inputting, uploading, or transmitting Vendor Content (including without limitation, for obtaining any licenses, permissions, consents, approvals, and authorizations from individuals appearing or disclosed therein) and Products, and for the way in which any Vendor Content and Products are used by others (including, without limitation, by Customer).

Similarly, Freemius does not assume and shall not have any responsibility or liability for any Customers or Digital Properties, including without limitation any of their respective terms of use/service, privacy policies, actions, omissions, or practices. Further, Vendor agrees to be solely responsible and liable for the performance of any Vendor obligations, and the exercise of any Vendor rights, that Vendor may have in respect of Customers and Digital Properties and the exercise of any rights under any contract it may have with a Customer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as between Vendor and Freemius, Vendor is solely responsible and liable for providing Customers with any warranty, maintenance, support (or similar) services for any Products.

7.2.
Vendor Representations and Warranties. Vendor hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it owns and possesses all the rights necessary to make, have made, copy, modify, license, sell, offer to sell, market, export, import and distribute each of the Products on a worldwide basis, as well as to grant the Vendor Content License and the Reseller License (each as defined below); (b) neither the Products nor any Vendor Content infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, or any Law; (c) its Vendor Content wholly accurate and is not, and will not be, disparaging, libelous, threatening, offensive, harassing, omit any information, deceptive, abusive, promoting of violence, illegal drugs, illegal arms trafficking, or illegal gambling, and does not, and will not, contain obscenity or pornography, create any risk to a person’s safety or health, impersonate another person, compromise national security, or interfere with an investigation by law enforcement; (d) neither the Products nor any of its Vendor Content will contain any robot, virus, malware, Trojan horse, spyware, or similar malicious item intended (or that has the potential) to damage or disrupt the Service or any Digital Property; and (e) it has obtained, and will maintain during and after any termination of this Agreement, any and all licenses, permissions, consents, approvals, and authorizations required for performing under this Agreement and for granting Freemius the rights and licenses (such as the Reseller License) granted under this Agreement.
7.3.
No Obligation by Freemius. Freemius has no obligation to accept, display, review or maintain any Products or Vendor Content. Freemius may, without notice, remove, suspend, disable, block and/or delete Vendor Content and Products in our sole discretion, including, without limitation, if we: (a) suspect or determine that Vendor is in breach of any provision of this Agreement, or has violated any Law; and/or (b) deem it helpful or reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable Law, legal process, or governmental request, to enforce the Agreement (including investigations of potential violations thereof), to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security issues, and/or to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Freemius, our users, Vendor, or the public.

8. FEATURES

8.1.
General. All references herein to the “Service” shall include its Features as well. Freemius reserves the right to remove, modify, and/or add Features at any time, without any notice or obligation to Vendor, and for any reason whatsoever. Some Features may in any event be limited, suspended or restricted by geography, volume, duration or any other criteria decided by Freemius in its sole discretion. Moreover, if Freemius determines that Vendor is in breach of any provision of this Agreement, we reserve the right to block or suspend Vendor from certain Features. We make Features available because we believe it enhances the user experience of the Service; but Vendor acknowledges and agrees that just because we make a Feature available, it does not mean we endorse, or can otherwise control, every manner in which such Feature is used. A new or modified Feature may be accompanied by separate or additional terms and conditions, in which case such terms will either (as determined in such terms and conditions) apply instead of, or in addition to, this Agreement. Freemius may in its sole discretion charge for new and modified Features and/or require additional Personal Data, provided however that: (a) in the case of a new Feature, it will be optional; and (b) in the case of a modified Feature, we will give Vendor sixty (60) days’ prior notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Vendor acknowledges that whereas Features may currently make the Service compatible for use with Vendor’s device or operating system, these Features may be removed or modified in the future.
8.2.
Beta Products. Freemius may from time to time make available, in “beta”, “pre-release” (or similar designation) mode, new versions of the Service, and/or new Features, that are still undergoing internal development and testing (each, a “Beta Product”). Beta Products may be time-limited, feature-limited, and/or functionality-limited. Freemius may also decide to only make a Beta Product available to closed list of users. If Freemius makes a Beta Product available to Vendor, Vendor may use it on the following conditions: (i) only for evaluation purposes; (ii) Vendor must comply with any specific guidelines issued by Freemius in respect of the Beta Product, which may include a requirement to provide Feedback (as defined below) and participate in surveys about the Beta Product; and (iii) Vendor must not publicize the fact that there is a Beta Product, nor show, display, or otherwise make available the Beta Product to any other person (which includes, without limitation, making such disclosures to traditional or social media). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the Service (such as the Usage Restrictions in Section ‎‎5, and the Disclaimers in Section ‎11) shall also apply to Beta Products.

9. UPDATES AND SUPPORT

9.1.
Updates. All references herein to the “Service” shall include the Updates we provide as well. Freemius may from time to time provide Updates, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. Such Updates will be supplied according to whatever then-current internal policies we may have in place, and some Updates may in any event be limited, suspended or restricted by geography, volume, duration or any other criteria decided by Freemius in its sole discretion. Some Updates may include automatic updating or upgrading without any notice or obligation to Vendor, and Vendor consents to any such automatic updating or upgrading of the Service. In some cases, Vendor may be required to install the Update manually. An Update may be accompanied by separate or additional terms and conditions, in which case such terms will either (as determined in such terms and conditions) apply instead of, or in addition to, this Agreement. Freemius may in its sole discretion charge for Updates and/or require additional Personal Data, provided however that we will give Vendor sixty (60) days’ prior notice.
9.2.
Support. Freemius’ technical support for the Service is limited to whatever support is offered via the Service functionality, such as email support via [email protected] (“Freemius Support”). Other than the Freemius Support, Freemius is under no obligation to provide any technical support for the Service.

10. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSES

10.1.
Service and Freemius Content. Vendor acknowledges that the Service is or may be protected by Intellectual Property (and similar) Laws, treaties, and conventions. Any rights not expressly granted herein are hereby reserved by Freemius and its licensors. As between Vendor and Freemius (and except for the Service Subscription), Freemius is the sole and exclusive owner of all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Service and all Freemius Content, as well as any Enhancements (defined below) to or of the foregoing (regardless of authorship or inventorship). “Enhancement” means an improvement, customization, derivative work, adaptation, modification, or similar change.

10.2.
Vendor Content Ownership and Licenses. As between Vendor and Freemius, Vendor is the sole and exclusive owner of Vendor Content. Notwithstanding such ownership, Vendor hereby grants to each of Freemius and all Freemius Affiliates a worldwide, assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees), irrevocable and perpetual license, in any media format and through any media channels (now known or hereafter developed): (a) to process Vendor’s Vendor Content to perform under this Agreement, including without limitation to provide Vendor with the functionality of the Service and any technical support; and (b) to process Vendor’s Vendor Content (including, for clarity, Personal Data) and Vendor’s usage of the Service on an aggregated or otherwise anonymous basis, for the purposes of improving the Service, analytics, and/or generally for research and development ((a) and (b) collectively, the “Vendor Content License”). Vendor hereby represents and warrants that: it has obtained, and will maintain during and after any termination of this Agreement, all licenses, permissions, consents, approvals, and authorizations required to grant the Vendor Content License. The Vendor Content License shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
10.3.
Vendor Product Ownership and Licenses. As between Vendor and Freemius, Vendor is the sole and exclusive owner of its Products. Notwithstanding such ownership, Vendor hereby grants to each of Freemius and all Freemius Affiliates a worldwide, assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees, including through affiliate programs related to the Service), irrevocable license, during the Term, to copy, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, import, and otherwise commercialize the Products and Product Licenses to Customers via the Service (the “Reseller License“). For distributed (i.e., non-SaaS) Products, Freemius will only provide the Customer with a download link and license keys once payment of the Transaction Amount has been approved by the Payment Gateway. In connection with each Customer Transaction, Freemius may, in addition to any contract that Vendor enters into with the Customer (such as a EULA), impose its own terms and conditions on the Customer.
10.4.
Feedback. If Vendor provides Freemius with any ideas, suggestions, or similar feedback about performance of the Service or for improving the Service (“Feedback”), Vendor hereby grants to each of Freemius and all Freemius Affiliates a worldwide, assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees), irrevocable, and perpetual license, to access, use, reproduce, distribute, publish, broadcast, make available to the public, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, publicly display, publically perform, and otherwise commercially exploit such Feedback, in any media format and through any media channels (now known or hereafter developed) (“Feedback License”). Vendor hereby represents and warrants that: (A) its Feedback does not, and will not, infringe, misappropriate or violate any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, or any Law; and (B) it has obtained, and will maintain during and after any termination of this Agreement, all licenses, permissions, consents, approvals, and authorizations required to grant the Feedback License. The Feedback License shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

11. PAYMENTS

11.1.
Transaction Amount. The MSRP is determined by Vendor, and may be changed by Vendor at any time (via the Dashboard). The Transaction Amount is determined by Freemius. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that Product License renewal prices are determined at the time of the original Customer Transaction (i.e., at Checkout), and such renewal pricing will apply regardless of whether or not the MSRP is changed by Vendor.
11.2.
Transaction Costs. From the Transaction Amount, Freemius will collect and remit: (a) to the proper authorities any required sales tax, value added-tax (VAT), or similar tax or other government fees that are based on Freemius’ sale of Product Licenses (collectively, “Sales Taxes”); and (b) to the applicable third parties (such as Payment Gateways) any other Transaction Costs (such a Gateway Fees). For the avoidance of doubt, Transaction Costs will not be included in the calculation of Vendor’s account balance, and shall not be payable to Vendor.
11.3.
Vendor Earnings. For each Customer Transaction, Freemius shall pay to Vendor an amount equal to (each such amount, the “Vendor Earning“):
[MSRP – MSRP x Discount Percentage – Gateway Fees and other Transactions Costs (excluding Sales Taxes) – Refunds – Chargeback Fees]
11.4.
Vendor Earnings Payout. On the first (1st) day of every calendar month, Freemius will execute a process calculating the total Customer Transactions made up to the last calendar day of the month prior to the previous month just ended, and calculating the aggregate Vendor Earnings payable for such Customer Transactions. Following such calculations, such Vendor Earnings will be distributed to Vendor on or around the tenth (10th) calendar day of the month in which such calculations are made. For the avoidance of doubt, Vendor shall be solely responsible and liable for paying any taxes or similar governmental charges on Vendor Earnings paid to Vendor. If a Customer Transaction’s payment requires currency conversion, Freemius will determine an exchange rate at the time the Vendor Earnings payout is processed. Vendor Earnings will only be distributed to Vendor in a given month, if the amount in question is at least One Hundred US Dollars (US$100); otherwise, the Vendor Earnings shall be withheld and roll over and be payable in a subsequent payment cycle when the aforesaid threshold has been met. Freemius shall, at its sole discretion, be entitled to recover from Vendor, or to set off against future amounts owing by Vendor, payments that are charged back or disputed by the Customer, or payments in case where Freemius believes, according to its sole discretion, that you may not be able to adhere to your obligations to Freemius, your end-users or Third Party Marketers, and Freemius shall not be liable if Customers continue use of the Product.
11.5.
Refunds. Except as permitted otherwise in this Agreement, Vendor shall be solely responsible for determining and administering, via the Dashboard, any Refunds under a Customer Transaction. In the event of a Refund, Freemius will refund the Customer the Transaction Amount, and the Refund amount shall be comprised of the amount Freemius credited to the Vendor for the Customer Transaction, plus Freemius’ Discount Percentage deduction, plus any other funds that, in Freemius’ sole discretion, should be returned to the Customer; provided, however, that if the Refund was executed thirty (30) days or more after the Customer Transaction date, Vendor shall be responsible for the entire Refund amount, and Freemius may deduct (from future payment to Vendor) an amount equal to the Discount Percentage deduction under such Customer Transaction to which the Refund applies.
11.6.
Chargebacks. In the event of a Chargeback: (a) Vendor shall be responsible for the entire Chargeback amount, and Freemius may deduct (from future payment to Vendor) an amount equal to the Discount Percentage deduction under such Customer Transaction to which the Chargeback applies; and (b) Freemius may deduct (from future payment to Vendor) any Gateway Fees charged for such Chargeback. If Freemius determines, in its sole discretion, that Vendor has an excessive Chargeback rate, Freemius reserves the right to temporarily suspend distributing all or a portion of Vendor’s Product(s).
11.7.
Retention of Funds. Freemius may, in its sole discretion, retain some or all of the funds that are in Vendor’s account if Freemius determines they will be necessary to cover future Chargebacks or Refunds, charges against the account, or other liabilities Vendor may owe to Freemius. Freemius may also retain some or all of the funds if Freemius believes that the funds resulted from fraudulent transactions or involve other activities that are otherwise illegal in a jurisdiction in which the Products are offered, or if Freemius believes any of the Products violate any of Vendor’s representations, warranties or covenants hereunder. Freemius will only retain those amounts that it determines to be reasonable under the circumstances. Freemius shall communicate to Vendor the amounts retained and the reason for retention of funds. Freemius will keep any retained amounts only for a reasonable time as determined in Freemius’ sole discretion, and will promptly pay over to Vendor any remaining retained amounts after such reasonable time elapses. Notwithstanding any funds retained by Freemius under such circumstances, Vendor agrees to pay Freemius, upon demand, funds owed to Freemius due to Refunds and Chargebacks.
11.8.
Payment Currency. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all payments between both Parties will be made in US Dollars ($USD), with Vendor responsible for costs of conversion from local currency(ies) into US Dollars ($USD).
11.9.
Invoicing. Freemius is authorized to invoice Customer, collect payment from Customer and, in Freemius’ sole discretion, issue Refunds to a Customer’s purchase and debit the amount against Vendor’s account, in which case Freemius shall have no resulting liability to Vendor if Freemius determines the Customer is credibly threatening a Chargeback or Vendor fails to respond to communications from the Customer after Freemius twice attempts to contact Vendor regarding such Customer Transaction.
11.10.
Subscription Fees. The Service Subscription may be subject to recurring fees (“Subscription Fees“). Unless expressly stated otherwise in an Order Form: (a) all Subscription Fees are stated, and are to be paid, in US Dollars; (b) all Subscription Fees are payable in advance; (c) all Subscription Fees are non-refundable, and are without any right of set-off or cancellation; and (d) any Subscription Fees not paid when due will accrue interest on a daily basis until paid in full, at the lesser of: (a) the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month; and (b) the highest amount permitted by applicable Law.

In the event that Vendor is required by any Law applicable to it to withhold or deduct taxes for any Subscription Fees, then the amounts due to Freemius shall be increased by the amount necessary so that Freemius receives and retains, free from liability for any deduction or withholding, an amount equal to the amount it would have received had Vendor not made any such withholding or deduction.

17. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement (including without limitation its validity and formation) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, USA without regard to any conflicts of laws rules or principles.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.1.
Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration. VENDOR AND FREEMIUS AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “Dispute”) SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in a small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.

  1. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law
  2. Notwithstanding Vendor’s and Freemius’ agreement that New York law governs this Agreement and its validity, interpretation and application, Vendor and Freemius hereby further agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (“FAA”) applies to this agreement to arbitrate, and governs all questions of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration.
    Unless Vendor and Freemius expressly agree otherwise in writing in respect of a Dispute, the arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Streamlined Rules”), as modified by this Agreement (that is, the terms of this Section ‎17 govern if they conflict with any of the JAMS Streamlined Rules), and consistent with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (“JAMS Consumer Fairness Standards”). The arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation all liability exclusions and limitations), and can award damages and relief, including any attorneys’ fees authorized by Law. VENDOR AGREES THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, VENDOR AND FREEMIUS ARE HEREBY EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION (OR OTHER CLASS-WIDE PROCEEDING).
    Notwithstanding JAMS Streamlined Rule 8(b), Vendor and Freemius agree that any dispute as to the arbitrability of a Dispute brought by either Vendor or Freemius shall be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.

  3. No Class Arbitrations
  4. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE JAMS STREAMLINED RULES, (OR OTHER PROCEDURES OR RULES OF JAMS) WOULD. RATHER, VENDOR AND FREEMIUS ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. FURTHER, AND UNLESS VENDOR AND FREEMIUS EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING IN RESPECT OF A DISPUTE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S DISPUTE WITH ANY OTHER PARTY’S DISPUTE(S), AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

  5. The Arbitrator’s Decision
  6. The arbitrator will render an award in accordance with JAMS Streamlined Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event any litigation should arise between Vendor and Freemius in any court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, VENDOR AND FREEMIUS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the proceeding be resolved by a judge. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the plaintiff/claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If Vendor prevails in arbitration Vendor will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable Law. Freemius will not seek, and hereby waives all rights Freemius may have under applicable Law, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if Freemius prevails in arbitration, unless Vendor asserts a frivolous claim.
    The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the FAA.

  7. Location and Fees
  8. Unless Vendor and Freemius expressly agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will take place in-person at the following locations: (a) if Vendor is a resident of a country in North America, Central America or South America, the arbitration will take place in New York City, New York, USA; or (b) if Vendor is a resident of any other country in the world, the arbitration will take place in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. In the event JAMS indicates that it is unable to provide, or arrange for, an arbitrator in Israel, Vendor agrees that the arbitration will be held in New York City, New York, USA.
    If Vendor initiates an arbitration for a Dispute, Vendor will be required to pay $250 of the fee required to initiate the arbitration and Freemius will pay any remaining JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services; Vendor will remain responsible for its respective costs relating to counsel, experts, witnesses, and travel to the arbitration.
    If Freemius initiates an arbitration for a Dispute, Freemius will pay all administrative fees and costs related to the arbitration, including all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services; Vendor will remain responsible for its costs relating to counsel, experts, witnesses, and travel to the arbitration.

  9. Small Claims Court
  10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court for Disputes within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate does not preclude Vendor from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the Law allows, seek relief against Freemius on Vendor’s behalf.

18.2.
Opting Out of this Mandatory Arbitration. Vendor can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and stating that Vendor declines this arbitration agreement. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the provisions regarding modification of the Agreement, if Freemius changes this Dispute Resolution Section after the Effective Date (or the date Vendor accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement), Vendor may reject any such change by providing Freemius written notice of such rejection to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as per the terms of this Agreement. In order to be effective, the notice must include Vendor’s full name and clearly indicate its intent to reject the change(s) to this Dispute Resolution Section. By rejecting such change(s), Vendor is agreeing that it will arbitrate any Dispute between Vendor and Freemius in accordance with the provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section as of the Effective Date (or the date Vendor accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement), unless Vendor declined this arbitration agreement in the manner described above.

18.3.
Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any Law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, or related to, this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else Vendor agrees that such claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

18.4.
Confidentiality of Disputes. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the decision and award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain its confidentiality, unless (and in such cases, only the extent) otherwise required by applicable Law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of competent jurisdiction any information necessary to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek equitable relief.
