7. Arbitration
7.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section 7 is referred to as the Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Toast, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or in connection with your use of the Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, you and Toast are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate, provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
7.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. You and Toast agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Toast agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
7.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Toast is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most participant concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant’s satisfaction by emailing Toast’s Partner team at partners@toasttab.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Toast should be sent to Toast at 401 Park Drive, Suite 801, Boston, MA 02215, Attn: General Counsel. (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Toast do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Toast may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Toast or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Toast is entitled.
7.4 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless you and Toast agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Toast agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
7.5 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
7.6 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
7.7 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Sub-Section 7.2 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Sub-Section 7.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
8. Compliance with Laws
8.1 You agree to comply with all federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations applicable to you and Partner’s business in relation to your use of the Services, including any applicable tax laws and regulations, the then-current version of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards as made available at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org and the by-laws, and any and all other rules, policies and procedures of VISA, MasterCard, Discover and/or other card networks as in effect from time to time.
8.2 The United States controls the export of products and information. You expressly agree to comply with such restrictions and not to export or re-export any part of the Services to countries or persons prohibited under the export control laws. By accessing, using or downloading the Services, you are expressly agreeing that you are not in a country where such export is prohibited or are a person or entity for which such export is prohibited. You are solely responsible for compliance with the laws of your specific jurisdiction regarding the import, export or re-export of the Services.
9. Miscellaneous
Any action, claim, or dispute related to these Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding its conflicts of law provisions, and controlling U.S. federal law. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply to these Terms of Service. If any provision of these Terms of Service Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service, which will remain in full force and effect. Failure of Toast to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms of Service will not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision herein. No waiver will be effective against Toast unless made in writing, and no such waiver will be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by Toast and you, these Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Toast with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Toast with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and will not be given any legal import. These Terms of Service will inure to the benefit of our successors and assigns. You may not assign these Terms of Service without our prior written consent. Any information submitted or provided by you to the Services might be publicly accessible. Important and private information should be protected by you.

10.3 Your license to use Google Software is limited to a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Google Software on a supported Android-based device that you own, or otherwise have rights to use, and that meets the applicable system and compatibility requirements, all as set forth by the usage requirements set forth in the Google Play Terms of Service.
10.4 Google has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to Google Software.
10.5 Google is not responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law.

10.7 In the event of any third party claim that Google Software or the end-user’s possession and use of that Google Software infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Toast and Google, Toast, not Google, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
10.8 You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
10.9 If you have any questions, complaints or claims with respect to Google Software, they should be directed to Toast.

In addition, your use of Google Play is subject to the Google Play Business and Program Policies. The Google Play Market Terms of Service, Google Play Business and Program Policies, and Google Terms of Service will take precedence in that order in the event of a conflict between them, to the extent of such conflict
