Terms of Service
Last updated: November 2018 1. Welcome to The RW Exchange (RWX), a website and software system (the “Site”), created and owned by The RW Exchange LLC o/a RWX (“we”, “us”, or “RWX”). Through this Site, we provide services and materials (“Services”) designed to assist: (i) Site visitors including investors (“Site Visitors”); (ii) individuals or entities who have purchased a license to use our services and their authorized users (“Enterprise Users”); and (iii) individuals or entities who are invited to create an account (“Account Users”) and their authorized users and related entities who create a portal to manage and track their communications (“Portal Users”). Site Visitors, Enterprise Users, Account Users and Portal Users are collectively referred to herein as “Users” (or, individually, “you”). All Users’ access and use of the Site, along with any services or materials contained or referenced herein, are governed by and subject to this Terms of Use Agreement (the “Terms”), as well as all applicable laws.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF SERVICE. By logging in and using the Site, you represent that you (1) are over the age of 18, (2) have the right and authority to legally bind yourself or your company, firm and/or employer to these Terms, (3) have not been previously suspended or removed from the Site by RWX, and (4) are not a competitor of RWX or acting on behalf of any such competitor.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS OR CANNOT TRUTHFULLY MAKE SUCH REPRESENTATIONS, SELECT THE “DECLINE” BUTTON AT THE END OF THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR DO NOT USE THE SITE OR SERVICE. By continuing, you agree on your and your company’s, firm’s or employer’s behalf to be legally bound by all these Terms, including any additional guidelines and future modifications hereto.
2. Updates and Communications
2.1 Updates. We may revise these Terms or any additional terms and conditions that are relevant to a particular Service from time to time to reflect changes in the law or to the Services. We will post the revised terms on the Site with a “last updated” date. Those revised terms become part of these Terms. It is your responsibility to review the Site on a regular basis to obtain timely notice of any revisions. If you continue to use the Services after the revisions take effect, you are thereby bound by these Terms as revised. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party by reason of modification of the Terms.
2.2 Communications. You agree to receive electronically all communications, agreements and notices that we provide in connection with the Services (“Communications”), including by e-mail, text, notifications by Messenger Feature, or by posting them on the Site or through any Services. You agree that all Communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that Communications be in writing. You agree to keep your Site account (“Account”) contact information current so that we can send you Communications.
3. Additional Terms for Certain Services.
3.1 Electronic Signature. If you use the electronic signature feature of the Services, you accept the additional terms applicable to the Electronic Signature feature (Schedule A).
3.2 Messenger Feature. If you use the Messenger Feature, you accept the additional terms applicable to the Messenger Feature (Schedule B).
4. Users
4.1 Enterprise Users. If you are an Enterprise User and you are, or your organization is, bound by a separate license agreement with RWX (“Corporate Terms”), then these Terms will apply to use of the Site or any Services only to the extent such use is not already governed by the Corporate Terms. The Corporate Terms include restrictions and requirements that outline the features that an Enterprise User will be able to access. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the “Site” in these Terms also includes the Services. By using the Services as an Enterprise User, you represent that you are a legally qualified professional or are acting on the authority of and under the supervision of a legally qualified professional. If you place any information on the site that is subject to Attorney-Client privilege, you represent that you have the authority to do so and understand the consequences thereof.
4.2 Account Users. To be an Account User, you must be invited to register for an Account on the Site. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account or password. You agree that the information you provide on registration and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete. You also agree that you will keep this information accurate and up-to-date at all times. If you have reason to believe that your Account is no longer secure (e.g., in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your Account identification, password, or any credit, debit or charge card number, if applicable), then you agree to immediately notify us. You may be liable for the losses incurred by us or others due to any unauthorized use of your Account. If you are an Account User, you agree not to impersonate any person or entity, falsely claim an affiliation with any person or entity, or access the Accounts of others without permission, forge another person’s digital signature, misrepresent the source, identity, or content of information transmitted via the Site, or perform any other similar fraudulent activity. You agree that you shall be bound by these terms and the additional terms applicable to Account Users. The additional terms for Account Users form part of these Terms.
4.3 Portal Users. If you have, or your organization has, registered for an Account to use the company services (such as managing stakeholder communications and workflows), you are a “Portal User” and shall be bound by any applicable subscription plan (“Subscription Plan”) that you have, or your organization has, entered into, as well as these Terms and the additional terms applicable to Portal Users. The additional terms for Portal Users form part of these Terms.
4.4 Site Visitors. A Site Visitor is bound by these Terms and can terminate its use of the Site at any time by ceasing further use of the Site. We may terminate your use of the Site and deny you access to the Site in our sole discretion for any reason or no reason, including for violation of these Terms. A Site Visitor may not remove, circumvent, disable, damage or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Site, features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content accessible through the Site, or features that enforce limitations on the use of the Site.
4.5 Reverse Engineering, etc. No User may reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Site or any part thereof, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

For example, if you are an Enterprise User, pricing is based on tiers of use described in the Corporate Terms. Portal Users may purchase optional services on a periodic or per-use basis pursuant to a Subscription Plan. We may change the prices for or alter the features and options without notice, and if you use such features or options after the price revisions take effect, you shall be bound by the revised pricing.

This may involve the sharing of your information with law enforcement, government agencies, courts, and/or other organizations.
12. Warranties and Disclaimers
12.1 No Warranties. The Services, Documentation, and Site are provided “as is” and “as available.” Your use of the Services, Documentation, and Site shall be at your sole risk. THE SERVICES, DOCUMENTATION AND THE SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, LEGAL EFFECT, ACCURACY, APPROPRIATENESS, COMPLETENESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. RWX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES, DOCUMENTATION, OR SITE ARE OR WILL BE ERROR-FREE, WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR BE TIMELY OR SECURE. You will be solely responsible for any damage resulting from the use of the Services, Documentation, or Site.
12.2 No Warranties. RWX makes no warranties or representations that Services, Documentation, and Site have been and will be provided with due skill, care and diligence or about the accuracy or completeness of the Services, Documentation, and Site content and assumes no responsibility for any: (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; (ii) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to and use of Services, Documentation, and Site; (iii) any unauthorized access to or use of our servers and/or any and all personal information and/or financial information stored therein; (iv) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Site; (v) any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Site through the actions of any third party; (vi) any loss of your data or content from the Site; and/or (vii) any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Services, Documentation, and Site. You will not have the right to make or pass on any representation or warranty on behalf of RWX to any third party. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, the above limitation may not apply to you. In that event, such warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by, and for the minimum warranty period allowed by the mandatory applicable law.
12.3 No Endorsement. RWX does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through the Site, and RWX will not be a party to or in any way be responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services. You are solely responsible for all of your communications and interactions with other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Site.
12.4 Application of Local Law. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” This release includes the criminal acts of others. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages such as in this Section 11 or below in Section 13. Accordingly, some of these limitations may not apply to you.
13. INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS
13.1 Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify, and hold us, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, suppliers, consultants, and agents harmless from any and all third party claims, liability, damages, and costs (including, but not limited to, legal fees) arising from or related to, as applicable: (a) your access to and use of the Site; (b) violation of these Terms by you as applicable; (c) infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity by you; (d) the nature and content of all User Data uploaded or provided by you; (e) your use of or reliance upon any User Content uploaded by any third party; or (f) any products or services purchased or obtained by you in connection with the Site.
13.2 Rights. RWX retains the exclusive right to settle, compromise and pay, without your prior consent, any and all claims or causes of action which are brought against us. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter in which we are named as a defendant and/or for which you have indemnity obligations without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
14. Limitations of Liability
14.1 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these terms, RWX will not, under any circumstances, be liable to you for any consequential, incidental, special, cover, punitive or exemplary damages arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated under these terms, including, but not limited to, goodwill, work stoppage, lost profits or loss of business, even if apprised of the likelihood of such losses, and whether such claims are made based on contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory.
14.2 Limitations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall RWX be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from any: (a) use of the Site, Documentation, or Services; (b) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; (c) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to and use of the Site, Documentation, or Services; (d) any unauthorized access to or use of our servers and/or any and all personal information and/or financial information stored therein; (e) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from our servers; (f) any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or the like, which may be transmitted to or through the Site, Documentation, or Services by any third party; (g) any loss of your data or content from the Site, Documentation, or Services; (h) any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of any content posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Site, Documentation, or Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and whether or not RWX is advised of the possibility of such damages; and/or (i) the disclosure of information pursuant to these terms or our Privacy Policy.
14.3 Local Law. Some countries and jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of consequential, direct, indirect, or other damages in contracts with consumers and to the extent you are a consumer the limitations or exclusions in this Section 13.1 may not apply to you.
14.4 Cap on Damages. Our total liability to you for any cause of action arising out of or related to these terms or to your use of the Site (including without limitation warranty claims), regardless of the forum and regardless of whether any action or claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, will not exceed the total amount paid by you to RWX for the Service(s) during the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the first event giving rise to liability, or $100, whichever is greater. The existence of more than one claim shall not enlarge this limit.
14.5 Independent Allocations of Risk. Each provision of these Terms that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages represents an agreed allocation of the risks of these Terms between the parties. But for this allocation of risk, RWX would not be willing to provide the Services at the prices for which they are provided. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of these Terms, and each of these provisions will apply even if the warranties in these Terms have failed of their essential purpose.
14.6 Jurisdictional Limitations.
14.6.1 Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability in certain instances, portions of the above limitation may not apply to you. In that event, such exclusions and limitations shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable mandatory law (and our liability shall be limited or excluded as permitted under mandatory applicable law).
15. General
15.1 Third Party Content. We may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other third-party web sites, services, or resources that are beyond our control. We make no representations as to the quality, suitability, functionality, or legality of any third-party content to which links may be provided, and you hereby waive any claim you might have against us with respect to such services. RWX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USER CONTENT OR FOR THE CONTENT ON THE INTERNET OR WEB PAGES THAT ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE SITE OR POSTS OF USER CONTENT. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers or partners found on or through the Site, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser or partner. You agree that we are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers or links to third-party web sites or resources on the Site.
15.2 Relationship. At all times, you and RWX are independent contractors, and are not the agents or representatives of the other. These Terms are not intended to create a joint venture, partnership, or franchise relationship between the parties. Non-parties do not benefit from and cannot enforce these Terms. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. You must not represent to anyone that you are an agent of RWX or is otherwise authorized to bind or commit RWX in any way without RWX’s prior written authorization.
15.3 Assignability. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without RWX’s prior written consent. If consent is given, these Terms will bind your successors and assigns. Any attempt by you to transfer your rights, duties, or obligations under these Terms except as expressly provided in these Terms is void. RWX may freely assign its rights, duties, and obligations under these Terms.
15.4 Notices. Except as otherwise permitted by these Terms, any notice required or permitted to be given in connection with the Services will be effective only if it is in writing and sent using: (a) the Services; (b) by certified or registered mail; or (c) insured courier, to the appropriate party at the address set forth in your registration information or on the Site.
15.5 Force Majeure. Except for any payment obligations, neither you nor RWX will be liable for failure to perform any obligation under these Terms to the extent such failure is caused by a force majeure event (including acts of God, natural disasters, war, civil disturbance, action by governmental entity, strike and other causes beyond the party’s reasonable control). The party affected by the force majeure event will provide notice to the other party within a commercially reasonable time and will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable. Obligations not performed due to a force majeure event will be performed as soon as reasonably possible when the force majeure event concludes.
15.6 Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at info@rw-exchange.com, and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an Account). Except for intellectual property, you and RWX agree to use reasonable efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
15.7 Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision in Section 14.6 above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, (except as provided below) subject to these Terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Services, Documentation or Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.
15.8 Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND RWX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
15.9 Survival. This Mandatory Arbitration, Waiver of Class Actions section shall survive any termination of your use of the Site.
15.10 Entire Terms. These Terms, which include the language and paragraphs preceding Section 1, are the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between you and RWX regarding the Services provided under these Terms. These Terms supersede and the parties disclaim any reliance on previous oral and written communications (including any confidentiality agreements pertaining to the Services under these Terms) with respect to the subject matter hereof and apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. RWX hereby rejects any additional or conflicting terms appearing in a purchase order or any other ordering materials submitted by you and conditions assent solely based on these Terms and conditions of these Terms as offered by RWX.

The failure of any party to these Terms to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a RWX of these Terms.
15.13 Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the grant of any license to you under these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the license will immediately terminate.

19. Payment Terms
19.1 Subscription Plan. The prices, features, and options of the Portal Services depend on the Subscription Plan selected as well as any changes instigated by Portal User. RWX does not represent or warrant that a particular Subscription Plan will be offered indefinitely and reserves the right to change the prices for or alter the features and options in a particular Subscription Plan without prior notice.
19.2 No Refunds. Portal User will timely pay RWX all fees associated with its Subscription Plan, Account or use of the Portal Services, including, but without limitation, by authorized Users. PORTAL USER’S PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS. Charges for pre-paid Subscription Plans will be billed to Portal User in advance. Charges for per-use purchases and standard Subscription Plan charges will be billed in arrears unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Plan.
19.3 Recurring Charges. When a Portal User purchases a Subscription Plan, the Portal User must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method, such as a credit card, that Portal User is authorized to use. Portal User must promptly notify RWX of any change in its invoicing address and must update its Account with any changes related to its payment method.

19.4 Late Fees & Collection Costs. If RWX does not timely receive payment, Portal User shall pay all amounts due upon demand. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month (18% per year) or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Portal User will reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees) incurred by RWX to collect any amount that is not paid when due. RWX may accept payment in any amount without prejudice to RWX’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to RWX may not be withheld or offset by Portal User for any reason against amounts due or asserted to be due from RWX.
19.5 Invoices. RWX will provide billing and usage information in a format we choose, which may change from time to time. RWX reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it identifies even if it has already issued an invoice or received payment in respect of the period invoiced. Portal User agrees to notify RWX about any billing problems or discrepancies within thirty (30) days after they first appear on an invoice.

Taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to RWX, except as required by law, in which case Portal User shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, RWX receives and retains (free from any Tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Portal User hereby confirms that RWX can rely on the name and address set forth in its registration for a Subscription Plan as being the place of supply for sales tax purposes.
