      In most cases, You may challenge Transaction Cancellation orders initiated by a Customer (including chargebacks) (“Dispute”) through Sync Payments, by providing information and documentation according to the relevant Operating Regulations. You acknowledge and agree that Brunswick will not have any liability with respect to the provision of such services. You further agree that the information and documentation provided will be shared with Your Customer, its payment providers and other relevant financial institutes. Failure to provide such information and documentation in a timely manner may not allow You to dispute the canceled transaction. Payment Networks or other payment method providers may either accept or deny Your challenge. Brunswick and the Processor will deduct the Dispute amount from Your User Payment Account upon a Dispute, including in accordance with its rights under Section 8.2, and will credit Your account if Your challenge is accepted by applicable issuing and acquiring banks. You acknowledge and agree that Brunswick is not a party to the Dispute challenging process.

      7-3. REFUNDS

      The User shall bear all costs and expenses associated with or resulting from any Refund (including any Service Fees incurred due to the original Transaction, which shall not be refunded). For the purpose hereof, “Refund” means a Transaction Cancellation, which is initiated by the User and results in the reimbursement of the Customer for all or some of the amounts paid in such Transaction. A Refund of a Transaction shall be subject to the existence of sufficient balance in the User Payment Account, such that it is possible to offset the refunded amount from the Settlement Amounts. Brunswick and the Processor shall have the right to withhold funds in the User Payment Account and/or deduct the associated Refund amount from the User Settlement Amounts, as required to process and pay Refunds. Brunswick may further decline any Refund when Brunswick believes that such an order increases the risk of a negative balance, or will otherwise risk Your ability to meet Your liabilities under these Service Terms.

      8. RESERVE; COLLECTION OF DEBT; SET-OFF

      8-1. RESERVE AMOUNT

      You authorize Brunswick to instruct the Processor to establish and maintain (by itself or by financial institution partner(s)) a reserve amount to cover any amount that may become due from You to Brunswick or the Processor, including any expenses or losses, which may result from existing or expected Transaction Cancellations, Customer complaints, the nature of Your business, and Your activity through Sync Payments (“Reserve”). The reserve shall be funded by debiting Your User Payment Account or any bank account associated with Your Sync Payments account. Upon termination, full processing of open transactions, and disposal of hardware, the reserve will be released to You.

      8-2. COLLECTION OF DEBT; SET-OFF

      You agree to pay all amounts due or owed to Brunswick, in relation with any of Your accounts with Brunswick on demand. Your failure to pay amounts owed to Brunswick under these Service Terms, the Brunswick Terms, Processor Terms, Operating Regulations and/or any applicable law, is a breach, and You will be liable for any costs we incur during collection in addition to the amount You owe. Brunswick (by itself or by instructing the Processor) may collect and/or set-off any amount due to Brunswick from You, including any cost, expense or fee (including attorney and collection agency fees) associated with such collection, by: (a) instructing the Processor to deduct such amounts from Your User Payment Account balance, from other User Payment Accounts held under Your name or from the Reserve, and remit such deducted amounts to Brunswick; (b) debiting the bank account, credit card or any other payment method held by Brunswick, whether provided for registering to Sync Payments or otherwise (including any such payment methods associated with any other Brunswick account or Sync Payments account held under Your name); or (c) debiting any payment method connected to the website associated with Your Sync Payments account or connected with Your subscription to any other Brunswick Services.

      12-2. MANDATORY ARBRITRATION PROVISIONS

      YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:

      (i) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Brunswick agree to resolve any claims relating to these Service Terms or Sync Payments through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section, including its enforceability, revocability or validity.

      (ii) Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by sending an email to payments@brunswickbowling.com within 30 days of being verified for a Sync Payments account and using “OPT OUT” in the Subject.

      (iii) Arbitration Procedures. We both agree that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in Muskegon, Michigan (to the extent that You are a U.S. resident) or any other location we mutually agree on.

      (iv) Arbitration Fees & Incentives. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Brunswick will pay all arbitration fees for individual arbitration for claims less than US$25,000. If You receive an arbitration award that is more favorable than any offer we make to resolve the claim, we will pay You US$1,000 in addition to the award. Brunswick will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that Your claim is frivolous.

      (v) Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Either You or Brunswick may assert claims, if they qualify, in a small-claims court in Muskegon, MI (to the extent that You are a U.S. resident). Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of Sync Payments, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to You or Your claim, You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Muskegon, Michigan to resolve Your claim.

      12-3. NO CLASS ACTIONS

      You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are expressly not allowed.
