Subscriptions and One-time Purchases
1.1. If you enter into a Leadhawk subscription, your subscription will continue and automatically renew until terminated. To subscribe to or make a one-time purchase on the Leadhawk service you must have Internet access and provide us with one or more Payment Methods. "Payment Method" means a current, valid, accepted method of payment, as may be updated from time to time and which may include payment through your account with a third party. Each one-time purchase you make will charge your Payment Method for that purchase. You must cancel any subscription you have before it renews in order to avoid billing of the subscription fees for the next billing cycle to your Payment Method (see "Cancellation" below).
1.2. We may offer a number of subscription plans, including subscriptions offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. Some subscription plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your Leadhawk subscription and purchase history by visiting the leadhawk.ai website, logging in, and clicking on the "Manage billing" button available at the top of the page.
-
Promotional Offers. We may from time to time offer special promotional offers, plans or subscriptions (“Offers”). Offer eligibility is determined by Leadhawk at its sole discretion and we reserve the right to revoke an Offer and put your account on hold in the event that we determine you are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent Leadhawk subscription or purchase to determine Offer eligibility. The eligibility requirements and other limitations and conditions will be disclosed when you sign-up for the Offer or in other communications made available to you.

Billing and Cancellation
3.1. Billing Cycle. The subscription fee for the Leadhawk service and any other purchases and charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to the Payment Method you add during checkout with our payment provider, Stripe, Inc. The billing cycle for your subscription will be on a monthly basis, unless otherwise chosen by you when subscribing or otherwise noted. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, when you change your subscription plan or if your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month. Visit the leadhawk.ai website, log in, and click on the "Manage billing" button to see your next payment date.
3.2. Payment Methods. To subscribe to or make a purchase for the Leadhawk service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee or any purchases. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
3.3 Updating your Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods through the Stripe billing portal by clicking the "Manage billing" button. We may also update your Payment Methods using information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s).
3.4. Cancellation. You can cancel your Leadhawk subscription at any time. To cancel, go to the billing portal through the "Manage billing" button on our leadhawk.ai website and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you signed up for Leadhawk using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your Leadhawk subscription, you may need to do so through that third party, for example by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the Leadhawk service through that third party.
3.5. Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. We may change our subscription plans and the price of our service from time to time; however, any price changes or changes to your subscription plans will apply no earlier than 30 days following notice to you. If you do not wish to accept the price change or change to your subscription plan, you can cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
3.6. No Refunds. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used subscription periods or purchases. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our users ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
3.7. Responsibility for Purchases. All charges and purchases made through the Leadhawk service are the responsibility of the account holder whose Payment Method is used. By providing a Payment Method, you confirm that you are authorized to use that Payment Method and that you authorize us to charge that Payment Method for any purchases, subscriptions, or fees incurred in relation to your use of the Leadhawk service.
3.8. Unauthorized Use by Minors. Leadhawk strictly requires users to be at least 18 years of age, or under the supervision and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, to use our services. Parents or legal guardians are responsible for the activity of their children on the Leadhawk platform. Unauthorized use of a Payment Method by children or any other individual does not exempt the account holder from liability for any charges incurred. We recommend keeping Payment Method details secure and monitoring account activity to prevent unauthorized transactions.
3.9. Liability for Unverified Transactions. In the event that a Payment Method is used for unverified or unauthorized transactions on the Leadhawk service, the account holder shall be held liable for any resulting charges. It is the account holder's responsibility to ensure the security and confidentiality of their account information and Payment Method details to avoid unauthorized access and use. If unauthorized use is suspected, please contact our Customer Support immediately at .

Arbitration Agreement
13.1. You and Leadhawk agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Leadhawk service, these Terms of Service and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. 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 and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Leadhawk are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Leadhawk subscription, purchases, and/or account.
13.2. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Leadhawk, by e-mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Leadhawk must be sent to the e-mail address: ("Notice Address"). If Leadhawk initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Leadhawk, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Leadhawk and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Leadhawk may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
13.3. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. Either party may initiate arbitration by providing written demand for arbitration (with a copy to the other party), a copy of this Agreement and the administrative fee required by the AAA Rules to the AAA. The remaining cost of the arbitration, including arbitrator’s fees, shall be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration award provides otherwise. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its case. The parties agree to undertake all reasonable steps to expedite the arbitration process.
13.4. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Leadhawk and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county of Palm Beach, Florida. The arbitrator shall not be able to award, nor shall any party be entitled to receive punitive, incidental, consequential, exemplary, reliance or special damages, including damages for lost profits. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.
13.5. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree 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 US$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 explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
13.6. YOU AND LEADHAWK 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. Further, unless both you and Leadhawk agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
- Miscellaneous
14.1. Governing Law. These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida, U.S.A. without regard to conflict of laws provisions.
