Fees: To the extent a subscription, product or feature on the Service is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument that we may accept (“Payment Instrument”) to our Payment Processor (as defined below). We may require you to use a Payment Instrument that is issued by a U.S. financial institution and to make all payments in U.S. dollars, and we or Payment Processor may change the type of Payment Instruments that we accept for payment from time to time. You represent and warrant that the information you provide about your Payment Instrument is complete and true, and that you are authorized to use the Payment Instrument for each transaction that you request. By providing us or our Payment Processor with your Payment Instrument information, and authorizing a transaction through the Service, you authorize Hyperstellar Inc. or our Payment Processor to charge your Payment Instrument for the full amount of the transaction (including any service fees), and to debit or credit your Payment Instrument as necessary to correct any errors. Should the transaction fail, we may retry the transaction up to two additional times, unless prohibited by applicable law. We reserve the right to reject any transaction or your use of any Payment Instrument for any reason not prohibited by law, and neither we nor Payment Processor will bear any liability for our inability or refusal to process any transaction. If any of the information you provide us or our Payment Processor about your Payment Instrument becomes inaccurate, or your Payment Instrument expires, you will promptly update your account information with any changes to your Payment Instrument information (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay the amount that is specified in the payment plan you select in accordance with the terms of such plan and this Terms of Service.
If your payment plan includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you hereby authorize Hyperstellar Inc. (through Payment Processor) to charge your Payment Instrument in the amount and frequency set forth in the terms of the applicable payment plan, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. You may cancel your subscription and revoke your authorization for such payments by notifying us at info@jointruli.com at least 3 business days prior to the next scheduled payment date. We do not offer any refunds, but if you dispute any charges, you must let Hyperstellar Inc. know within sixty (60) days after the date that Hyperstellar Inc. charges you. We reserve the right to change prices on a subscription, product or feature you obtain or access through the Service. If Hyperstellar Inc. does change prices on a subscription, product or feature, Hyperstellar Inc. will provide notice of the change on the Site or in an email to you, at Hyperstellar Inc.’s option, at least 10 days before the change is to take effect. If you do not agree to such change, you may cancel your authorization by discontinuing your use of the Service prior to the effective date of the change, and notifying us at least 3 business days prior to the next scheduled payment date.

If you seek to charge or receive a fee or payment from another User through the Services, it is your responsibility to obtain that User’s authorization to charge their selected Payment Instrument for each transaction, in compliance with these Terms of Service, the Stripe Agreements, all applicable laws, and the requirements of any payment network that facilitates the transaction. You may not impose any fee or surcharge on any User that makes or requests to make a User Transaction.
Taxes: You have sole and exclusive responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to transactions or the payments you receive in connection with your use of the Services (“Taxes”). It is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct Taxes to the proper tax authority in the applicable jurisdiction. We are not obligated to, nor will we, determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority, arising from any User Transaction. Hyperstellar Inc. retains the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to complete and file tax or related reports with tax authorities regarding transactions in those jurisdictions where Hyperstellar Inc. deems such reporting necessary.

The Stripe Agreements are your agreement with Stripe, and Hyperstellar Inc. is not a party to the Stripe Agreements, nor are we responsible for Stripe’s services or any liability in respect of the Stripe Agreements. You hereby authorize Stripe to store and continue billing any Payment Instrument you provide to us or Stripe through the Services, even after such Payment Instrument has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Service. Please contact Stripe for more information. We reserve the right to replace Stripe with another payment processor at any time without notice or liability to you. If we do, you agree that the payment services you may access through the Service will be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the successor payment processor, which shall be incorporated by reference herein. Hyperstellar Inc. assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Service.

1. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Hyperstellar Inc., whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, 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. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Hyperstellar Inc. 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.
2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND HYPERSTELLAR INC. AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND HYPERSTELLAR INC. 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), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Hyperstellar Inc. is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@jointruli.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”). Please e-mail us at info@jointruli.com and we will promptly provide an address ("Notice Address") to which you can address postal mail. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Hyperstellar Inc. and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Hyperstellar Inc. may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Hyperstellar Inc. or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Hyperstellar Inc. is entitled.
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 Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. 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. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. 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. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the 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 Hyperstellar Inc. and you 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, Hyperstellar Inc. 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.
5. 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.
6. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” 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 subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
8. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, Hyperstellar Inc. agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Hyperstellar Inc. written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
You agree that Hyperstellar Inc., in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Hyperstellar Inc. believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Hyperstellar Inc. may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Hyperstellar Inc. may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Hyperstellar Inc. will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service, including for any fee disputes between you or any other user or for any User Transaction, and Hyperstellar Inc. will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Hyperstellar Inc. reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Hyperstellar Inc. and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Hyperstellar Inc. with respect to the Service.
