a. Payments. Customers are obligated to pay in advance for those Professional Services and/or Merchandise they OBTAIN through the Mend It Platform ("Payments"). Prior to the scheduled Professional Service, we will charge the Customer's credit card according to the amount the Customer has agreed to on the Mend It Platform with respect to those Professional Services and/or Merchandise, the Customer has ordered, and for all purchases and payments for reimbursement costs, fees, expenses or applicable taxes associated with a Professional Service as well as the Convenience Fee (as defined in 3(f) below), and the Customer hereby authorizes us to charge the credit card on file in the Customer's Mend It Platform account for such amounts. We will use third party services to process credit card information. By accepting this Agreement, you are giving Mend It (or a third-party payment processor on Mend It's behalf) permission to charge your on-file credit card, debit card, or other approved methods of payment for fees that you owe Mend It. Depending on the transaction you selected or services requested, Mend It may charge you on a one-time or recurring basis. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Professional Services must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with Mend It at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. We retain the right, in our sole discretion, to place a hold on the Customer's credit card for an ordered or completed Professional Service transaction. Seventy-two (72) hours after a Professional Service is completed, if there is no complaint by the Customer, we will mark the Professional Service as closed. Except for Professional Services that are requested through Service Referrals, all Payments by Customers must be made through the Mend It Platform. Professional Services scheduled or obtained outside of the Mend It Platform are not subject to our Mend It Quality Control Policy in Section 3(d). Except for the Mend It Quality Control Policy in Section 3(d), and the Refund Policy in Section 3(e), no refunds or credits will be provided once the Customer's credit card has been charged, except that at our sole discretion, refunds or credits may be granted in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific promotions, or to correct any errors we have made. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all credit card and all other personal information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any damage that may result should any information be released to any third parties, and you agree to hold us harmless for any damages that may result therefrom. Customers will be liable for all transaction taxes on the Professional Service(s) provided (other than taxes based on Mend It's income). If we determine that your actions or performance may result in returns, chargebacks, claims, disputes, violations of our terms or policies, or other risks to Mend It or third parties, then Mend It may withhold any payments to you for as long as we determine any related risks to Mend It or third parties persist. For any amounts that we determine you owe us, we may (i) offset any amounts that are payable by you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise) against any payments we may make to you or amounts we may owe you; (ii) invoice you for amounts due to us, in which case you will pay the invoiced amounts upon receipt; (iii) reverse any credits to your bank account; or (iv) collect payment or reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. If we determine that your account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or to repeatedly violate this Agreement, then we may in our sole discretion permanently withhold any payments to you.
b. Service Rate. The rate for a Professional Service ("Service Rate") as determined by Mend It depends on factors, such as location, and payment terms may increase. Therefore, the same Professional Service may cost more in a different location. However, you will be notified prior to any such payment increase with sufficient notice.
c. Membership and Subscription Options with Automatic Renewal and Recurring Charges.
(i) In the future Mend It may offer Membership and/or Subscription Options. Mend It cannot guarantee that the same Service Provider will be available for each recurring service.

THEREAFTER, CUSTOMER'S AGREEMENT TO PAY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND CUSTOMER'S CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED THE SAME NON-PROMOTIONAL AMOUNT, AS ORIGINALLY DISCLOSED TO CUSTOMER AT THE TIME OF SIGNING UP FOR THE MEMBERSHIP OR SUBSCRIPTION, AND/OR FOR ANY APPLICABLE CANCELLATION FEES AND TAXES.
(iii) CANCELLATION OF AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING MEMBERSHIP OR SUBSCRIPTION: Customers may cancel the automatically renewing Membership and Subscription Options at any time by visiting the Mend It Help Center at www.mendit.app/contact or by mailing a notice of cancellation to Mend It Inc. 5340 Weslayan St. #270272, Houston, TX 77265.

17. Mutual Arbitration Agreement.
a. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim, past, present, or future, between you and Mend It, including without limitation any dispute or claim related to or arising out of this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Mend It may attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally (the "Informal Negotiations") before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such Informal Negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for any notices under this section is your email address and/or physical address that you have provided to Mend It. Mend It's address for such notices is: legal@mendit.app and/or by mail to Mend It Inc., Inc., Attn: Legal, 5340 Weslayan St. #270272, Houston, TX 77265.
b. Arbitration. If a Dispute is not resolved through Informal Negotiations, you and Mend It agree to resolve any and all Disputes (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) through final and binding arbitration ("Arbitration Agreement"). This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and evidences a transaction involving commerce. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website (www.adr.org). Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If you are unable to pay such costs, Mend It may, in its sole discretion, pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Each party will pay the fees for his/her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing. Additionally, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the "Class Action Waiver" described in Section d below.
c. Excluded Disputes. You and Mend It agree that the following Disputes are excluded from this Arbitration Agreement: (1) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or our intellectual property rights; (2) individual claims in small claims court; (3) any claim that an applicable federal statute expressly states cannot be arbitrated; and (4) any claim for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this Arbitration Agreement may be rendered ineffectual.
d. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION.
You and Mend It agree to bring any Dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class or collective action. There will be no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action ("Class Action Waiver"). Regardless of anything else in this Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable AAA Rules or AAA Consumer Rules, the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator.
e. Rules/Standards Governing Arbitration Proceeding. A party who wishes to arbitrate a Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement must initiate an arbitration proceeding no later than the expiration of the statute of limitations that applicable law prescribes for the claim asserted. The arbitrator shall apply the statute of limitations that would have applied if the Dispute had been brought in court. The arbitrator may award any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in their individual capacity, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual under applicable law will be forfeited. The arbitrator is without authority to apply any different substantive law. The parties have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any dispute in this regard shall be decided by the arbitrator. The location of the arbitration proceeding shall take place in Houston, Texas, unless each party agrees otherwise. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the arbitrator's decision/award.
f. Severability. You and Mend It agree that if any portion of this section entitled "Mutual Arbitration Agreement" is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder of this section 17 will be given full force and effect.
18. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
Except for the Arbitration Agreement in Section 17, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and except as may be prohibited by the law of the State in which you primarily reside, this Agreement is governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law. For all Disputes not subject to arbitration, You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located within Harris county, Texas.
