Terms of Use, you may do so by (a) notifying Bite at any time, and (b) closing your Account for all Services that

ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OR ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PROPERTIES OR PRODUCTS,
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE

limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent that we may not, as a matter of applicable law,

our liability shall be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.

and/or its
affiliates, licensors (including BYU) and/or licensees. You are not authorized to use any such Marks.
- Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trail by Jury
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Bite and affects your
rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- 9.1 Application of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or
other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms of Use or the use of any product or
service provided by Bite that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by
binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration
Agreement applies to you and Bite, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in
interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of
services or goods provided under the Terms of Use.
- 9.2 Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration,
the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and
basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Bite should be sent to: 1460 Broadway,
8th Floor, New York, NY 10036. After the Notice is received, you and Bite may attempt to resolve the claim or
dispute informally. If you and Bite do not resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days after the Notice is
received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any
party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the
award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
- 9.3 Arbitration Rules. Any Disputes arising out of or relating to this user agreement or the breach
hereof shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The costs of any such arbitration proceedings shall
be borne equally by Bite and you; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the right to award to
either party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs expended in the course of such arbitration or enforcement of
the award rendered thereunder. The location for the arbitration shall be in New York, New York. Any award made
by such arbitrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties for all purposes.
- 9.4 Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected,
the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the
specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any
personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.
- 9.5 Time Limits. If you or Bite pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or
demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any
deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
- 9.6 Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and
liabilities, if any, of you and Bite, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or
joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive
of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant
any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the
Terms of Use. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential
findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The
arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would
have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Bite.
- 9.7 Waiver of Jury Trail. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO
COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be
resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited,
more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a
court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Bite in any state or federal court in a suit
to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND BITE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead
electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- 9.8 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND
CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE
OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
- 9.9 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the
award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to
maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This Paragraph shall not prevent a party from
submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration
award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
- 9.10 Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no
force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect.
- 9.11 Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Agreement may be
waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or effect any other
portion of this Agreement.
- 9.12 Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your
relationship with Bite.
- 9.13 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Bite may bring an individual
action in small claims court.
- 9.14 Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency
equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A
request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this
Arbitration Agreement.
- 9.15 Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation,
violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s
patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement.
- 9.16 Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Agreement permits the parties to litigate in
court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York
County, New York, for such purpose.
- Choice of Law
These Terms of Use are governed by U.S. federal law and/or laws of the state of New York, consistent with the
Federal Arbitration Act, without resort to conflict of law provisions.
- Notice. Where Bite requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing Bite
with your most current email address. In the event that the last email address you provided to Bite is not
valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by the Terms of Use,
Bite dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give
notice to Bite only at the following address: Bite, Inc., 1460 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10036. Such
notice shall be deemed given when received by Bite by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight
delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
- Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms of Use on one occasion will not be
deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
- Severability. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms of Use on one occasion will
not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
- Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Properties except as authorized by
U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Properties, and any other applicable laws. In
particular, but without limitation, Bite Properties may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United
States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated
Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using the Properties, you
represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or
that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country and (ii) you are not listed
on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Bite Properties for
any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles,
nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology
provided by Bite are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You shall comply
with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export,
or transfer Bite products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of
such laws and regulations.
- Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Bite use electronic means, whether you
visit the Properties or send Bite e-mails, or whether Bite posts notices on the Bite Properties or communicates
with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from Bite in an
electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other
communications that Bite provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications
would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
- Release. You hereby release Bite, its affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees, and
agents and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind,
including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or
arises from your use of the Properties, including but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other
Users or third-party websites of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms of Use or your
use of the Properties. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542,
which states, "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.
- Assignment. The Terms of Use, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned,
subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Bite’s prior written consent, and any attempted
assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
- Force Majeure. Bite shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes
outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos,
acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation
facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

Properties, please contact us at: Bite, Inc., 1460 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10036. We will do our
best to address your concerns. If you feel that your concerns have been addressed incompletely, we invite you to
let us know for further investigation.

by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
