Sarbari offers the Service on a subscription-only basis to buyers of bulk foods and supplies, such as restaurants and grocery stores (“Buyers”) to enable online food order comparison pricing and purchasing. The Service Permits Buyers to obtain pricing quotes from the suppliers and sellers of food (“Suppliers”), and, where an agreement is reached on pricing, for a Buyer to initiate a purchase of food or merchandise from a Supplier. All transactions between Buyers and Supplier stake place directly between a Buyer and a Supplier pursuant to a purchase order (each a “Purchase Order”) entered into between the Buyer and a Supplier. Sarbari is not a party to a Purchase Order and simply provides the Service as a tool through which Buyers and Suppliers may connect with one another.

If you are using or opening an account on the Service on behalf of a company, entity or organization (each a “Subscribing Entity”), then you represent and warrant that you: (i) are an authorized representative of that Subscribing Entity with the authority to bind such entity to these Terms and (ii) agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of such Subscribing Entity. Buyers and Suppliers may be Subscribing Entities. A Subscribing Entity may have multiple account users, for example, a Buyer Chain Supervisor, a Buyer Supervisor, Buyer Order Placer, and a Supplier Representative.

BILLING, SUBSCRIPTIONS AND FEES

​

6.1 Fees. No fees are charged to Suppliers by Sarbari. To access and use the Service as a Buyer, you must pay a subscription fee as set forth in the Fee Schedule [as provided by Sarbari]. If you are a Buyer, then you agree to pay all fees and charges associated with your subscription to the Service. You agree to make payments in accordance with these Terms and the Fee Schedule. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes (e.g., sales, use or value-added tax), unless otherwise stated, and you are solely responsible for the payment of any such taxes that may be imposed on your use of the Service. Sarbari reserves the right to change fees at any time and from time to time, but no increase in fees shall be applicable until the first renewal of your subscription following the date of any increase in fees. We will provide you with e-mail notification for any changes in our fees.

​

6.2 Payment Options. Sarbari offers the Service as a one-year subscription (the “Subscription Period”), which automatically renews for additional one-year periods upon expiration. There is a one-time Setup fee which varies based on subscription package chosen. Buyer will need to pay the non-refundable setup fee in advance. The subscription period officially begins on the date that Buyer receives the logon credentials to the application (The "Go-live" date), which is typically 20-days from the signup date. Buyers will have following payment options: monthly or annual:

(a) Monthly Payments. The first monthly payment shall be due on the "Go-live" date of subscription and each subsequent payment shall be due on the same day (depending on the date of the month that the subscription started) of subsequent months, unless terminated pursuant to the provisions of these Terms. Only credit card or ACH payment methods accepted for this option.

(b) Annual Payments (5% discount off subscription). The first annual payment shall be due on the Go-live Date and each subsequent payment shall be due on the one-year anniversary on the 1st day of the Subscription month.

​

6.3 Payment Method. In order to subscribe to the Service, you will need to provide a credit or debit card or arrange for a recurring Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payment to Sarbari (your “Payment Method”). If you provide a credit or debit card as your Payment Method, you hereby authorize Sarbari to retain your Payment Method indefinitely and charge your Payment Method on a recurring basis in accordance with the then-applicable rates for the Subscription Package you elect. You are responsible for providing Sarbari with a current and valid payment method for the duration of your subscription. If your Payment Method expires or is rejected by the issuer of the Payment Method for any reason, then you will remain responsible for all charges related to your subscription, including any automatic renewal, and you agree to pay Sarbari all charges incurred by you but not collected through your Payment Method. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Sarbari reserves the right to terminate your subscription as of the end of the then-current Subscription Period or any date thereafter if your Payment Method for a renewal period is denied or rejected by your Payment Method provider. Access to the Service will be denied upon the termination of your subscription.

​

6.4 Timing of Payment. Initial setup fee charges shall be charged immediately to your Payment Method upon registration to use the Service as described in Section 6.2. If you use a credit card for your Payment Method, then Sarbari may seek pre-authorization of your credit card prior to acceptance of your subscription to verify the credit card is valid and/or has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your subscription. Any such pre-authorization will reduce your available balance by the authorization amount until it is released or reconciled with the actual charge. Charges for a renewal of a Subscription Period shall be made to your Payment Method on the first day of the renewal Subscription Period for yearly payments and on the same calendar day of the month for monthly payments.

​

6.5 Termination or Suspension of Subscriptions. All subscriptions are for a period of 12 months and are automatically renewed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4. Written notice is required at least 60 days prior to the end of the subscription period if you wish to terminate your subscription or at least 30 days prior to the end of the subscription period if you wish to pause your account. Termination/Pause requests by telephone, facsimile, or other means of communication cannot, and will not, be accepted, honored, or effective. You will need to notify us in writing using one of the following methods: via our online portal at https://form.jotform.com/sarbaritech/subscription-adjustment-request or via electronic mail. Email notification should be sent to billing@sarbari.com. If the notice is given after the 60-day window, you will be required to pay additional month's fee after the end of the term to accommodate the 60-day notice requirement. Similarly, if you elect to terminate or suspend your subscription prior to the end of any minimum commitment period, you will be responsible for the remainder of payments due within the current minimum commitment period and any fees due along with all other monies which may be owed at the time of notice become due and payable immediately, and you authorize Sarbari to charge your payment method on file accordingly.​

LIMITATIONS; BASIS OF THE BARGAIN

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

YOU AND SARBARI AND EACH OF OUR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS, AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.

(a) Commencing Arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by you to Sarbari, to you via any other method available to Sarbari, including via e-mail. The Notice to Sarbari should be emailed to legal@sarbari.com with the subject line Arbitration Notice. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). If you and Sarbari do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Sarbari may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (the “Rules”),AS MODIFIED BY THIS AGREEMENT. The Rules and AAA forms are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. If you are required to pay a filing fee to commence an arbitration against Sarbari, then Sarbari will promptly reimburse you for your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon Sarbari’s receipt of Notice at the Arbitration Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration along with a receipt evidencing payment of the filing fee, unless your Demand is equal to or greater than $1,000, in which case you are solely responsible for the payment of the filing fee.

(b) Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. A single independent and impartial arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Rules, as modified herein.You and Sarbari agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens on the parties: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing
by the parties; and (iii) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) No Class Actions. YOU AND SARBARI AGREE THAT YOU AND SARBARI 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. FURTHER, YOU AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND THAT IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISO IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

(d) Decision of the Arbitrator. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator shall issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Delaware in conducting the arbitration. You acknowledge that these terms and your use of the Service evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the Mandatory Arbitration clause in these Terms.

18.2 These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its choice or conflicts of law principles. Only if the Mandatory Arbitration clause is deemed to be null and void, then all disputes arising between you and Sarbari under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the commonwealth and federal courts located in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, and you and Sarbari hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.

18.3 Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution section do not apply to any claim in which Sarbari seeks equitable relief of any kind. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms by Sarbari or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Sarbari, and your only remedy shall be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms.

18.4 Claims. You and Sarbari agree that, notwithstanding any other rights the party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

18.5 Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against Sarbari must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Dispute Resolution section, Sarbari may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000, provided that Sarbari has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

18.6 Disputes Between Buyers and Sellers. Any disputes arising between a Buyer and a Seller following the parties’ use of the Service, such as for breach of a Purchase Order, shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of any Purchase Order entered into between the Buyer and Seller, if any, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. To the maximum extent permissible under law, you hereby agree not to join Sarbari to any litigation between you and any other party to a Purchase Order or to seek discovery or other participation from Sarbari related to such litigation. If you join or involve Sarbari in any litigation between you and such other party to a Purchase Order (e.g., through discovery), then you hereby agree to reimburse Sarbari for all costs incurred by Sarbari in participating in or responding to such litigation, including outside attorneys’ fees.
