The User understands and acknowledges that Offers made on the Socios Marketplace are legally binding and cannot be withdrawn by the User. Socios shall have the right to accept or decline Offers at its sole and absolute discretion. If Socios does not accept an Offer within one hour (“Offer Period”), the Offer shall be deemed declined by Socios. All Offers that are submitted by the User will be displayed on the transaction history page.

8.9.3.   If the Offer submitted by the User is for the purchase of Fan Tokens, Socios charges an additional trading margin to cover any short-term price movements (“Trading Margin”). The Trading Margin is disclosed separately and refunded to the User if unused.

8.9.4.   Once the User has submitted an Offer, the Purchase Price including the Trading Margin (Fan Token purchase) or the Fan Token that are offered by the User (Fan Token sale) will be temporarily locked until the Offer is either accepted or declined. The User will therefore not be able to transfer Fan Tokens that are tied up in an Offer.

8.9.5.   The User further understands and acknowledges that there is no guarantee that the Offer will be fulfilled and that such Offer may remain pending in certain instances, including but not limited to, in the event of a price fluctuation of the Fan Token which is the subject of such Offer. In such instances, the User may check the status of the Offer which will be displayed on the transaction history page, following which the User may proceed to cancel the Offer and resubmit the same.

8.10. USE OF FAN TOKENS

8.10.1. Fan Tokens grant holders voting rights to participate in the decision-making processes and feedback Polls with regards to the Partners as well as multiple interactive features on the US Socios Platform, such as the Predictor, and any other rights to the holders thereof as may be determined by the Parties from time to time.

8.10.2. Fan Tokens will allow the holders to cast votes in the relevant Partner Polls. When a User holds multiple Fan Tokens, such User’s vote will have a greater weighting but the precise weighing of the voting rights is subject to the Partner and the specific poll’s instructions. In order to prevent the manipulation and control of Polls by a single User, multiple Fan Tokens held by a single User may not correspond to an exact equivalent in voting rights.

8.10.3. In the case that a Poll is capped at a maximum number of permissible votes per User, then such User shall be informed before exercising his or her vote. The holder of a Fan Token will always be entitled to a minimum of one (1) vote.

8.10.4. Fan Tokens are not extinguished after use and a holder of a Fan Token may continue to participate in the relevant Partner’s Polls for as long as the Fan Token is held and the Partner remains part of the US Socios Platform unless the happening of any other event will extinguish the utility of the Fan Token.

8.10.5. Polls may be of a binding or non-binding nature. In case of binding Polls, the Partner is obliged to carry out the result of the final Poll except in cases of force majeure. It is specified that “force majeure” means any circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the Partner, rendering impossible the performance by the Partner the obligations applicable hereunder. The frequency of the Polls varies from one Partner to the other, however the Socios App will display upcoming Polls.

8.10.6. Polls are subject to time limits after which no more voting on that particular poll will be allowed.

8.10.7. Binding Polls may be subject to a quorum threshold whereby a minimum number of votes, to be determined by the Partner, are required for the validity and excitability of the Poll. In case that the predetermined quorum of votes is not reached, the Partner and Socios may decide at their sole discretion, to suspend the Poll and the outcome thereof, invalidate the outcome of the Poll and/or launch an alternative Poll.

8.10.8. Following participation in a Partner’s Poll the User’s Fan Tokens for that Partner will be temporarily locked and unavailable for trading on the marketplace until the voting period of the Poll has lapsed.

8.10.9. WARNING: PRICES OF FAN TOKENS ARE VOLATILE AND MAY FLUCTUATE QUICKLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS FACTORS, INCLUDING THE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE IN PLACE WITH EACH TEAM/PARTNER THAT MAY AT SOME TIME BE SUBJECT TO A TERMINATION OR NON-RENEWAL DUE TO VARIOUS FACTORS. BEWARE THAT EACH FAN TOKEN MAY LOSE ITS VOTING RIGHT (AND OTHER FEATURES) DUE TO VARIOUS FACTORS, INCLUDING TERMINATION OR NON-RENEWAL OF THE APPLICABLE TEAM CONTRACT, AND THEREFORE THE USE OF THE PARTICULAR FAN TOKEN WILL BECOME LIMITED AND MAY ALSO LOSE VALUE UPON THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE TEAM/PARTNER’S AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER CASE WHERE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH SUCH PARTNER, OR OTHER UNDERLYING TEAM CONTRACT, IS TERMINATED FOR WHATEVER REASON. UNLESS COMMUNICATED OTHERWISE BY US, THE RELEVANT FAN TOKEN MAY STILL BE KEPT IN THE USER’S SOCIOS WALLET OR TRADED ON THE US SOCIOS PLATFORM AS THE FAN TOKEN HOLDER WISHES. IN NO CASE SHALL WE OR THE RELEVANT PARTNERS BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES, EXPENSES, PRICE DECLINE, LOSS OF VOTING RIGHTS OR OTHER FEATURES OR VALUES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE USER AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OR OTHER TYPE OF TEAM CONTRACT, AS APPLICABLE.

9. ACCEPTED CURRENCIES, PURCHASE CONSIDERATION, AND TRANSFER PROCEDURE

9.1. PURCHASES ON THE US SOCIOS PLATFORM THROUGH THE SOCIOS WALLET

You may purchase Tokens during the Token Offering Period(s) of the relevant Token

Offering Period or thereafter on the US Socios Platform.

You agree that any fees and/or commissions due as a result of Your trading on the US Socios Platform shall be automatically deducted from Your Socios Wallet balance.

Your transaction is subject to the terms and conditions of the third-party payment service provider You have chosen from the payment options made available by Us. When choosing a payment method, You agree to the terms of that payment method and agree to any charges or service fees that apply on the transactions You make through such payment methods. You further agree that the payment method is valid and that the payment card belongs to You and You have the right to use such a payment method.

A buy order for Fan Tokens may also be made, if so authorized by Us, prior to the launch of the Token Offering Period or in replacement of a Token Offering Period limitedly in the following circumstance:

(i) “Pre-Order” stage – this is a function which enables You to place a pre-order for Fan Tokens whose Token Offering Period has not yet commenced. The pre-order shall be made for a determined USD price that shall be deducted from Your Socios Wallet, whereas the corresponding amount of Fan Tokens and any unspent USD shall be transferred to Your Socios Wallet at a later stage once they become available to own.

(ii) “Locker” stage – this is a function made available by Our Affiliated entity Entertainment Trading Technologies Limited, which enables You to express interest in a potential but as yet unsigned Partner of Socios. The User will be allowed to transfer USD (as applicable) into the Locker and in case the potential Partner is signed up by Socios and onboarded to the US Socios Platform, then, such USD shall be converted into Fan Tokens of the relevant Partner. Prospective Fan Tokens to be created via this method are pegged directly to a pre-stated USD price only. If the potential Partner is not signed within a predetermined time frame duly communicated by Us, such Users who have put USD into the Locker will be fully refunded and the USD returned to their Socios Wallet. Once a User transfers USD into any given locker, this USD will remain locked within it, and be unable to be withdrawn by the User until the end of the Locker’s lifecycle. Lockers do not represent an investment vehicle for either the User or Socios.com as USD held in the Locker will not accrue any interest over time. In the event that a Locker converts into a new team signing, the User will receive their input USD value back in the form of the new partner’s Fan Tokens together with a pre- set and publicly defined early adopter’s bonus which will be calculated as a publicly defined percentage of their total USD input into the Locker. The User is eligible for this bonus only if the Locker containing their USD input converts into a new partner signing. In order to transfer USD into a Locker, the User must do so in packs (pre-set quantities) of USD, with each pack representing the USD cost of one prospective partner’s Fan Token. The minimum entry into any Locker requires the user to transfer in one (1) pack of USD, with the maximum transfer limit for every Locker being publicly stated as a set multiple of these one (1) prospective Fan Token value equivalent USD packs.

(iii) The availability and conditions of the above “Pre-Order” and “Locker” functions shall be at Our sole discretion and made available by Socios or any Affiliate as may be deemed appropriate.

9.2. PURCHASE CONSIDERATION

The consideration for the purchase of a Fan Token (“Purchase Consideration”) shall be denominated in USD currency and will vary depending on the relevant Token Offering. The Purchase Consideration for each Fan Token available for sale shall be announced by Us in advance of the relevant Token Offering.

When the purchase is part of a “Pre-Order”, any fractional number of Fan Tokens which You are entitled to receive for a confirmed purchase of Fan Tokens (to the extent not rejected by Socios in accordance with these Terms of Sale), determined based on the amount of USD currency for such confirmed purchase at the Purchase Consideration as transferred from the Socios Wallet shall be rounded up downwards to the nearest whole number of Fan Tokens, with any difference in USD shall be sent back to Your Socios Wallet.

9.3. ATTEMPTS TO PURCHASE IN VIOLATION OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS

In the event that Socios discovers, at any time after Your acceptance of these Terms of Use and Terms of Sale, that Your purchase of Fan Tokens is determined to be in violation of these Terms, any applicable laws and regulations, You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of whether such transfer of USD as purchase consideration are reflected as successfully made or received, that the attempted purchase of Fan Tokens will be regarded as invalid and/or void ab initio and:

(a) Socios shall not be obliged to deliver any Fan Tokens, USD to You and shall have no obligation in any form or manner whatsoever to You in respect of such attempted purchase; and

You hereby waive all rights, claims and/or causes of action (present or future) under any law (including any tortious claims) or contract against Socios or its Affiliates and/or the Indemnified Persons in connection with or arising from such attempted purchase, and shall further hold harmless, Socios and the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all losses, damages, taxes, liabilities and expenses that may be incurred by You in connection with or arising from such attempted purchase. This paragraph shall apply to the fullest extent permitted under the laws and regulations that are applicable to You.

IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR ATTEMPTED PURCHASE AND/OR TRANSFER OF USD AS PURCHASE CONSIDERATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF FAN TOKENS IS NOT IN VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS, ANY APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS OR RULES.

9.4. WITHDRAWALS, CANCELLATIONS, REJECTIONS OF PURCHASES AND TERMINATION OF TOKEN SALE

9.4.1.   The Token Vendor reserves the right to reject any purchases of Tokens, or terminate the Token Sale at any time after Your acceptance of these Terms and prior to the delivery of Tokens in accordance with these Terms should you not comply with the eligibility requirements set forth herein. The Token Vendor further reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to treat any purchase of Tokens throughout the Token Offering Period as being invalid, notwithstanding any delivery of Tokens which may have been affected in accordance with these Terms, in the case where there is any change in any applicable law, regulation or rule after such delivery which prohibits, restricts, curtails, hinders, impairs or otherwise adversely affects the Token Sale to any extent.

9.4.2.   The Token Vendor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject any purchases of Tokens by any Participant at any time after Your acceptance of these Terms and prior to the delivery of Tokens in accordance with these Terms in the event that You are not successfully Whitelisted to the Token Vendor’s sole and absolute satisfaction.

9.4.3. In the event of any such rejection of Your purchase of Tokens, termination of the Token Sale or the completed Token Sale being treated as invalid, where You have made any transfer of USD as purchase consideration for such rejected purchase of Tokens or such purchase of Tokens which is the subject of the terminated Token Sale or the completed Token Sale being treated as invalid, You agree that:

9.4.3.1. Provided that Your transfer of Tokens to the Designated Account as payment for such intended purchase of Tokens is successfully received and notwithstanding any provision in these Terms, the Token Vendor may elect to provide a refund of such purchase consideration in full or in part without interest and net of all administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction and service fees (if any) that may be incurred in connection with such refund, in which case such administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction and service fees incurred in connection with such refund shall be borne by You;

9.4.3.2. Save for any refund that the Token Vendor may elect to provide under these terms, the Token Vendor shall have no obligations in any form or manner whatsoever to You in respect of such intended purchase;

Save for Your right to any such refund under these Terms, You hereby waive all rights, claims and/or courses of action under law or contract against the Token Vendor and/or indemnified persons in connection with or arising from such intended purchase, and shall further hold harmless, the Token Vendor and the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all losses, damages, taxes, liabilities and expenses that may be incurred by You in connection with or arising from such intended purchase.

9.4.3.3. The Token Vendor reserves the right to apply restrictions including monetary thresholds as it may deem necessary in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever or as may be required or permitted by applicable law with respect to the transfer out of Fan Tokens from the User’s Socios wallet.

9.4.4. In the event that You transfer out Tokens from your Socios.com wallet it is Your sole responsibility to ensure that the send out wallet address is accurately provided. Tokens sent to an incorrect address are not recoverable and shall be lost. Socios shall not be responsible for incorrectly provided send out addresses and any damages or losses sustained by You as a consequence thereof. Moreover, Fan Tokens can only be transferred out to a Socios wallet address, and You shall be solely responsible to provide the correct Socios wallet address as may be applicable.

10. SSU TOKENS

10.1. HOW CAN SSU TOKENS BE OBTAINED?

SSU Tokens may not be purchased like any other Fan Tokens. Each User has an equal chance to collect SSU tokens while performing a specific interaction on the Socios Platforms. Such interactions may be changed from time to time and may include, for instance: logging into the Socios App, quizzes, polls and other in-app Services and Features. SSU Tokens are aimed at rewarding those fans that are loyal and most engaging with the Partners. The features associated and linked to the SSU Tokens are provided by Socios Services US Inc.

10.2. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SSU TOKENS?

Ownership of SSUs enables Users to vote on polls within the Socios United partner page on the Socios App as a ‘platform-wide’ influence and engagement mechanism. On a technical level, SSUs are identical to the Platform partner’s Fan Tokens, but they differ greatly when it comes to the redemption mechanisms used to award them to Users. SSU Tokens are directly linked to loyalty reward mechanisms available on the Socios App. Users are not able to sell their SSU Tokens against USD, and SSU Tokens are not listed on the Socios App marketplace.

11. COMPETITION FAN TOKENS

11.1. WHAT ARE COMPETITION FAN TOKENS?

Competition Fan Tokens are a type of virtual token that may be issued by Socios, at Socios’ sole discretion. Competition Fan Tokens (“Competition Fan Tokens”) shall collectively refer to branded Fan Tokens related to the following Union of European Football Association (“UEFA”) competitions (each a “Competition” and jointly the “Competitions”):

a) The Champions League;

b) The Europa League; and

c) The Conference League.

There is no financial value directly attached to the Competition Fan Tokens. The Competition Fan Tokens are non-tradeable and cannot be bought, sold, transferred or disposed of in any manner whatsoever. Competition Fan Tokens enhance the engagement on the Socios.com Platform of Users who hold a Fan Token of clubs which are, within the respective football season then in force, participating in the Competitions, and subject to the terms set out herein. Any and all terms related to the Competition Fan Tokens may be amended at any time. 

11.2. HOW CAN COMPETITION FAN TOKENS BE OBTAINED AND USED?

a) The Competition Fan Tokens will be issued on a football-season basis and may be redeemed and remain valid for a period as determined by Socios (the “Validity Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, all Competition Fan Tokens will be retrieved from the Socios Wallet upon the expiration of the Validity Period.

b) Users holding Fan Tokens of Partners participating in any of the Competitions shall be eligible to receive Competition Fan Tokens, subject to further terms as determined herein.

c) Irrespective of the number of different Partner-branded Fan Tokens participating in the Competitions that a User holds, each User shall at all times only be entitled to redeem and/or hold one (1) Competition Fan Token relating to the respective Competition in question. By way of example and for the sake of clarity, in the event that a User holds: (i) two (2) or more Fan Tokens of a variety of Partners which are all participating in the Champions League, such User shall only be eligible to one (1) Champions League Competition Fan Token; or (ii) five (5) Fan Tokens of a variety of Partners which are all participating in the Europa League, such User shall only be eligible to one (1) Europa League Competition Fan Token. 

d) Following redemption of their Competition Fan Token, Users may sell their Partner-branded Fan Tokens and still be entitled to retain the Competition Fan Token previously redeemed until the expiry of the Validity Period. 

e) For Users to be able to redeem a Competition Fan Token, Users must provide their consent for their details (full name, email address and country) to be shared with UEFA, following which UEFA may exploit such personal data for its own independent marketing purposes. It is hereby being understood and acknowledged that the consent as mentioned in the foregoing shall only be provided by the User on a voluntary basis and such User may opt not to provide such consent. 

f) The Competition Fan Tokens will provide Users holding the same with access to exclusive UEFA rewards, benefits and rights as decided at Socios’ sole discretion from time to time.

11.3. SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS OF FAN TOKENS

SOCIOS MARKETPLACE

11.3.1 Overview

Once the Fan Token Offering ends, the Provider will at its sole discretion list the respective Fan Token on the Platform for Users to be able to buy and sell the Fan Token directly on the Platform (“Socios Marketplace”). All transactions on the Socios Marketplace are executed between the User and the Provider. The Socios Marketplace does not enable Users to trade Fan Tokens on a peer-to-peer basis with other users.

35. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider and evaluate each of the following risk factors and all other information contained in the Terms before deciding to participate in any activity on the Platform and/or Features. To the best of the Socios’ knowledge and belief, all risk factors which are material to You in making an informed judgment to participate in the Token Sale and engage in the Features and Services have been set out below. If any of the following considerations, uncertainties or material risks develop into actual events, the business, financial position and results of operations of the Socios could be materially affected. In such cases, the trading price of Fan Tokens could decline due to any of these considerations, uncertainties or material risks, and You may lose all or part of Your Fan Tokens. By proceeding to create an Account and using the Platform You are acknowledging these risks.

35.1. RISKS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN SALE

35.1.1. Financial and operating risks confronting innovators are significant and Socios is not immune to these. Innovators often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financial and general management, amongst others, which frequently cannot be solved.

35.1.2. It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of cryptographic and fiat currencies, the inability of the Token Vendor to establish the Token’s utility, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, it may not be viable for the Fan Token to continue its operations and may dissolve or take actions that result in discontinuance of the Platform and Services/Features thereon.

35.1.3. The tax treatment of the Tokens, the purchase rights contained herein, and the Token Sale is uncertain and there may be adverse tax consequences for You upon certain future events and depending on the jurisdiction in which you are domicile or resident.

35.1.4. You must seek Your own tax advice in connection with purchasing or trading of Tokens. Purchase or trading of Tokens pursuant to these Terms may result in adverse tax consequences to You, including withholding taxes, income taxes, and tax reporting requirements. You should consult with and must rely upon the advice of Your own professional tax advisors with respect to tax treatment of a purchase and/or trading of Tokens pursuant to these Terms.

35.1.5. There is no prior market for the Fan Tokens and the Token Sale may not result in an active or liquid market for the Tokens.

35.1.6. A Token is not a currency issued by any central bank or national organization, nor is it backed by any hard assets or other credit. Trading of Tokens merely depends on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants, and no one is obliged to purchase any Token from any holder of the Token, including the purchasers, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of the Tokens to any extent at any time.

Accordingly, Socios cannot assure that there will be any demand or market for Tokens.

35.1.7. External factors could materially and adversely affect the market price of the Tokens.

35.1.8. Any future sale of the Fan Tokens (which were not all available for sale in the Token Sale) would increase the supply of Tokens in the market and this may result in a downward price pressure on the Fan Tokens. The sale or distribution of a significant number of Tokens outside of the Token Sale, or the perception that such further sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the Fan Tokens.

35.1.9. Negative publicity may materially and adversely affect the price of the Tokens and Socios’ business activities. Negative publicity involving the Partners and/or the Socios may materially and adversely affect the market perception or market price of the Fan Tokens, whether or not such negative publicity is justified.

35.1.10. There is no assurance of any success of the US Socios Platform and Token Sales. The value of, and demand for, the Tokens hinges heavily on the performance of the US Socios Platform. Despite the very good early predictions based on sound data, there is no assurance that this will gain traction after its launch and achieve any commercial success. The trading price of the Tokens may fluctuate following the Token Sale.

35.1. 11. The prices of digital assets in general tend to be relatively volatile and can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The demand for, and correspondingly the market price for, the Tokens may fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Token Vendor:

Changes in conditions affecting the blockchain or fintech industry, the general economic conditions or market sentiments, or other events or factors.

35.1.12 Risk of Upgrade to Ethereum 2.0. The User understands and acknowledges that the Ethereum community is currently planning an upgrade of the Ethereum blockchain to Ethereum 2.0 and that as part of this upgrade or any subsequent release, hotfix or upgrade of the Ethereum blockchain, the Chiliz Sidechain may suffer from setbacks which may cause, inter alia, a complete loss of the Fan Token.

35.2. RISKS RELATING TO THE SOCIOS PROJECT

35.2.1. There may be weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs in the protocols, systems and smart contracts in connection with the Token Sale and Socios Services US Inc. (including trading activities).

35.2.2. Socios will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the protocols, systems, and smart contracts in connection with the Token Sales, trading and voting are audited, tested, and proved by technical experts. However, as smart contract technology is still in its early stage of development and its application of experimental nature carries significant operation, technological, financial, regulatory and reputational risks, there are inherent risks that such protocols, systems and smart contracts could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs.

35.2.3. Socios is dependent in part on the location and data center facilities of third parties.

35.2.4. The infrastructure network of the Socios is in part established through servers which they own and house at the location facilities of third parties, and servers that they rent at data center facilities of third parties. If Socios is unable to renew its data facility lease on commercially reasonable terms or at all, the Socios may be required to transfer their Services to a new data center facility and may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with the relocation. These facilities are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, natural disasters, arson, terrorist attacks, power losses and telecommunication failures. Additionally, the third-party providers of such facilities may suffer a breach of security. Any security breaches or damages which occur may impact Socios and the price of the Tokens.

35.2.5. There may be prevention of transaction requests. Socios cannot be held responsible if You are prevented from sending a transaction request, or Your transaction request or email is not received by Us due to hardware, software or Services issues (including, without limitation, internet and other network connectivity issues).

35.2.6. There may be the termination of the business relationship with the Partner which would mean discontinuance of any Feature or Service related to a particular Partner.

36. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

36.1. Users hereby consent and agree to the dispute resolution system stated in this paragraph for resolving any and all disputes arising from or related to these Terms (“US Disputes”). The laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to their conflicts of law provisions, shall govern these Terms, their applicability, their application, their scope, their interpretation, and resolution of any related US Dispute(s).

36.2. All disputes between a US User and Socios will be resolved by private and binding arbitration in the exclusive forum and venue of Clark County, Nevada, USA administered by a single mutually-agreeable JAMS arbitrator in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (see www.jamsadr.com for details) in the English language. All arbitrations pursuant to this paragraph shall be conducted and resolved in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (viewable as of 12/15/2021 at: https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf). The arbitrator selected to resolve any US Dispute may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court.

36.3. ADDITIONALLY, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY,

AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE (OR PUTATIVE CLASS MEMBER OR REPRESENTATIVE) IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (COLLECTIVELY “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SOCIOS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.
