When you open a check, you may be required to provide payment information prior to completing your Purchase. By providing your payment information for pre-authorization, you agree to pay the total amount shown when you submit the final portion of your order. If you fail to complete payment for your Purchase, the Merchant may be able to charge your payment method after a certain amount of time has passed.
1.4.2 QWIZEENQWIZEEN Now App.
The QWIZEEN Now App is a mobile application that enables you to make Purchases from participating Merchants for pickup and/or delivery. If your workplace offers a QWIZEEN Drop location, you can make Purchases for delivery to your available Drop location via the QWIZEEN app. You can manage your QWIZEEN account by logging in, and can review your Purchase history within the app.

QWIZEEN provides technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty and/or rewards programs to Guests. By enrolling in any loyalty program offered by QWIZEEN or by a Merchant using QWIZEEN’s technology services, you expressly agree to these program terms.
You may enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program by signing up at the Merchant or while placing an order, subject to the Merchant’s terms and conditions related to its loyalty program. Once you have enrolled, you may earn points when you make Purchases from Merchants, which can later be redeemed for discounts or other benefits. If you initiate a return, chargeback, or refund, points associated with the Purchase may be revoked. You may check your current rewards balance by clicking the link you receive when you sign up for a Merchant’s loyalty program.
If you choose to enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program, you agree that the Merchant may contact you using the contact method(s) you provide with program information, offers, and other marketing and transactional communications. Any information shared by QWIZEEN with Merchants is subject to our Privacy Statement. Once a Merchant has received information you provide from QWIZEEN, the use and governance of that information will be managed by the Merchant, which may have separate privacy practices and policies. QWIZEEN does not authorize Merchants to send marketing messages to your mobile number. Merchants may not send marketing messages to your mobile number unless you expressly authorize the Merchant to send you such messages.
Each Merchant is solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of its own loyalty program, including establishing the number of points that you may earn when you make Purchases, setting redemption thresholds, and determining how and when points may be redeemed for rewards. Merchants have the ability to modify their loyalty programs and/or to modify the points balance held by any individual Guest. QWIZEEN is not responsible for notifying you in the event that the Merchant changes any element of its loyalty program or ceases to offer a loyalty program. The Merchant is solely responsible for communicating program or points balance changes to you.
Points earned through any loyalty program offered by QWIZEEN or a Merchant using QWIZEEN have no cash value and cannot be transferred, redeemed, or sold for cash. Subject to notice requirements under Applicable Law and Rules, QWIZEEN reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to modify, suspend, terminate, revalue or cancel its own loyalty program and/or the technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty programs through QWIZEEN. In the event QWIZEEN terminates any loyalty program offered by QWIZEEN or by a Merchant, QWIZEEN will, in accordance with the Applicable Law and Rules, maintain records of Guest’s loyalty points for one year following termination of the loyalty program in the event the loyalty program is reinstated within one year of termination. QWIZEEN reserves the right to adjudicate any discrepancies or disputes regarding rewards allocations or these program terms in its sole discretion and you agree to abide by any such adjudication.

Certain Merchants may hold alcoholic beverage licenses and sell alcoholic beverage products. The Merchant holding the alcoholic beverage license must approve your Purchase before the Purchase will be finalized, and only upon acceptance of the order by the Merchant will your Payment Method be charged.

3. Purchases
QWIZEEN makes available the Services and, either directly or through a third party service provider, processes Payment Transactions for Purchases on behalf of Merchants as the agent of the Merchants through the payment networks. When you make a Purchase, you authorize QWIZEEN, as agent for the Merchant, to submit the charge in the amount of the Purchase (including any gratuities, fees and taxes) to your Payment Method as well as any credits in connection with chargebacks, reversals, refunds or adjustments. QWIZEEN, as the agent of the Merchant, will assist the Merchant in submitting the Payment Transaction to the payment network and processing the Payment Transaction. Upon QWIZEEN receiving the proceeds of the transaction, your payment obligation to the Merchant will be deemed completed (except in the case of a later chargeback or reversal).
You must provide a valid Payment Method to pay for your Purchases made through any of the Services. You authorize QWIZEEN to confirm your Payment Method is in good standing with the issuing financial institution. In order to do so, QWIZEEN may obtain an authorization to charge your Payment Method for a Payment Transaction. This authorization may reduce your available funds balance by the authorization amount until the Payment Transaction is actually charged to your Payment Method and the proceeds are processed and settled. Please contact your Payment Method issuer if you have questions regarding the status of an authorization or of a charge to your Payment Method. You agree that QWIZEEN, on behalf of the Merchant, may resubmit a Payment Transaction for processing to a payment network in the event a prior Payment Transaction was declined or returned.
If you choose to store Payment Method information with QWIZEEN via any of the Services for your convenience and use in future transactions, you agree that QWIZEEN may receive up-to-date information on your Payment Method information (such as card number or expiration date) through services available from the card networks and may update your Payment Method credentials stored with QWIZEEN (if you choose to store your Payment Method credentials) from time to time.
We may establish limitations concerning use of the Services, including without limitation individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of Payment Transactions you may make within certain time periods. We may decline to process any Payment Transaction without any notice to you. We may delay processing of or hold or cancel processing of any Payment Transaction upon the direction of the Merchant or if we believe, in our sole discretion, that the transaction is invalid, suspicious, involves misconduct or fraud, or otherwise violates Applicable Law and Rules, these Terms of Service, or any other policies.
Payments made through the Services are also subject to the terms of your agreement with your Payment Method issuer. You are solely responsible for any charges or fees that may be imposed by your Payment Method issuer as a result of using the Services.

14. Arbitration
14.1. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Section 14 is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” Except where prohibited by Applicable Law and Rules, You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between You and QWIZEEN, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement or in connection with Your use of the Services or our websites, shall be resolved exclusively through confidential, 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. You agree that, by agreeing to this Agreement, You and QWIZEEN 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. In any event, any action or proceeding by You against QWIZEEN relating to any dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.14.2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
You and QWIZEEN agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and QWIZEEN 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).
14.3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to all parties’ satisfaction by emailing QWIZEEN’s Customer Care team at SUPPORT@QWIZEEN.IO. 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”). The Notice to QWIZEEN should be sent to QWIZEEN by e-mail at DISPUTES@QWIZEEN.IO , by mail to QWIZEEN LLC 30 N Gould Street, STE R, Sheridan, WY, 82801, Attn: General Counsel. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and QWIZEEN do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or QWIZEEN may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by QWIZEEN or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or QWIZEEN is entitled.
14.4. 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 Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. 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. 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. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and Applicable Law and Rules. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless you and QWIZEEN 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 the AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, QWIZEEN 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.
14.5. Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
14.6. 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.
14.7. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Sub-Section 14.1 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 Sub-Section 14.1 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
15. Survival
Upon termination of your use of the Service or these Terms for any reason, in addition to this section, the following sections shall survive termination: Section 1.5 (Merchant Responsibilities), 5 (Fees), 8 (Disclaimer of Warranties, Waiver and Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Ownership of Content, Use of Trademarks), 12 (Termination), 14 (Arbitration), 17 (Governing Law), and 18 (Miscellaneous).
16. Assignment
You may not assign these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent and any attempted assignment may be void. We reserve the right to freely assign these Terms and the rights and obligations hereunder, to any third party without notice and consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns.
17. Governing Law
Any action, claim, or dispute related to these Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflicts of law provisions, and controlling U.S. federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply to these Terms of Service.
18. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which will remain in full force and effect. Failure of QWIZEEN to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision herein. No waiver will be effective against QWIZEEN unless made in writing, and no such waiver will be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by QWIZEEN and you, these Terms, including any QWIZEEN policies governing the Services referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and QWIZEEN with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between you and QWIZEEN with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and will not be given any legal import.
