IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT USE – AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE – ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE.
KRUNCH may offer several subscription packages. These terms and conditions will apply regardless of the subscription selected.

KRUNCH 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 Vendors of food and supplies (“Vendors”), and, where an agreement is reached on pricing, for a Buyer to initiate a purchase of food or merchandise from a Vendor. All transactions between Buyers and Vendors take place directly between a Buyer and a Vendor pursuant to a purchase order (each a “Purchase Order”) entered between the Buyer and a Vendor. KRUNCH is not a party to a Purchase Order and simply provides the Service as a tool through which Buyers and Vendors 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 Vendors may be Subscribing Entities. A Subscribing Entity may have multiple account users, for example, a Buyer Owner, a Buyer Supervisor, Buyer Order Placer, etc.

GENERAL

Changes to these Terms. The Website and portions of the Service are owned and operated by KRUNCH. KRUNCH reserves the right to revise these Terms in its sole discretion at any time and without prior notice to you other than by posting the revised Terms on the Website. However, in the event KRUNCH elects to provide you with notice of any changes to these Terms, you hereby
authorize KRUNCH to provide you with such notice by e-mail. Any revisions to the Terms are effective upon posting. The Terms will be identified as of the most recent date of revision. It is incumbent upon you to visit this page periodically to ensure your continued acceptance of these Terms. Your continued use of the Service after a revised version of these Terms has been posted by KRUNCH to the Website constitutes your binding acceptance of such revision and the revised Terms. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences of this Section 1.1, no revisions to these Terms will apply to any dispute between you and KRUNCH that arose prior to the date of such revision.

1.2 Evolving Nature of Service. The Service may be modified, changed and/or improved at any time. If you disagree with the Terms or are in any way dissatisfied with the Service, we hope you will let us know by sending an e-mail to services@ikrunch.com, but your sole remedy is to discontinue your use of the Service.

The Service may require that you agree to additional terms and conditions, including those of websites operated by third parties (“Third-Party Sites”). Any terms and conditions required by KRUNCH for use of any portion of the Service offered by KRUNCH (but not those of any Third-Party Site) will, unless otherwise expressly stated in such terms, supersede these Terms in the event of a conflict only as to the services with respect to which those terms relate. Such additional terms and conditions, if any (but not those of any Third-Party Site), are hereby incorporated into and made a part of these Terms by reference. You may also be subject to the terms of use of any Third-Party Sites, and you are solely responsible for your acceptance of and compliance with such terms.

not seek through the Service to gather personal information from or about children under the age of 13.

SERVICE SECURITY

You are prohibited from violating, or attempting to violate, the security of the Service. Any such violations may result in criminal and/or civil penalties against you, as well as the termination of your privilege to use the Service, at KRUNCH’s sole discretion. KRUNCH reserves the right to investigate any alleged or suspected violations and, if a criminal violation is suspected, refer such suspected violation to the appropriate law enforcement agencies and cooperate fully with such investigations, including, but not limited to, the disclosure of any or all your activities on or related to the Service.

The Service permits multiple users to have access to the same account profile on the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials to use the Service and are fully responsible for all activities that occur using your credentials. You agree to notify KRUNCH immediately of any unauthorized use of your credentials or any other breach of security with respect to your account. KRUNCH will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your credentials prior to you notifying KRUNCH of such unauthorized use or loss of your credentials.

You also agree to update the information about yourself (or the Subscribing Entity on whose behalf you are acting) and all other authorized users promptly, and as necessary, to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If messages sent to an email address provided by you are returned as undeliverable, KRUNCH reserves the right to terminate your account immediately with or without notice to you and without any liability to you or any third party.

SUBSCRIPTIONS AND BILLING

6.1 Fees. 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 KRUNCH]. As a Buyer, 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. KRUNCH 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. KRUNCH offers the Service as a one-year subscription (the “Subscription Period”), which automatically renews for additional one-year periods upon expiration. The subscription period officially begins on the date that Buyer receives the logon credentials to the application.

6.3 Payment Method. To subscribe to the Service, you will need to provide a credit or debit card to KRUNCH (your “Payment Method”). You hereby authorize KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH all charges incurred by you but not collected through your Payment Method. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, KRUNCH 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 subscription charges shall be charged immediately to your Payment Method upon registration to use the Service as described in Section 6.2. KRUNCH 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 may 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.

6.5 Termination or Suspension of Subscriptions. All subscriptions are automatically renewed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4. Written notice is required 60 days prior to the next billing cycle if you wish to terminate or 30 days prior to the next billing cycle 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 via electronic mail. Email notification should be sent to services@ikrunch.com. If timing of the notice falls in the middle of a billing cycle date on which such automatic renewal is charged, you will be charged the applicable fee for such automatic renewal (for pausing) as well as that of the next period (for Terminations) and the cancellation will take effect at the end of said period accordingly, subject to the refund provisions set forth in the Section 20.1. You may receive a partial refund depending on the payment method selected in accordance with the refund provisions set forth in Section 20.1.

KRUNCH is not responsible for the availability or content of these Third-Party Sites or for any viruses or other damaging elements encountered in linking to a Third-Party Site, whether KRUNCH is affiliated with the owners of such Third-Party Sites. In addition, the provisioning of these links to Third-Party Sites is not an endorsement or approval by KRUNCH of the organizations sponsoring or operating such Third-Party Sites or their products or services.

You agree not to settle any matter for which you are obligated to indemnify KRUNCH or that requires an admission by or judgment against KRUNCH without the prior written consent of KRUNCH. KRUNCH will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL KRUNCH OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR ACCESS OF OR INABILITY TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE, ANY INFORMATION, FOOD PRODUCT, MERCHANDISE OR SERVICE MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE OR SOUGHT TO BE PURCHASED OR SOLD PURSUANT TO A PURCHASE ORDER ENTERED INTO WITH A BUYER OR VENDOR ON THE SERVICE, OR ANY FOOD PRODUCT, MERCHANDISE OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICE PURSUANT TO A PURCHASE ORDER ENTERED INTO WITH A BUYER OR VENDOR ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER BASED IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF KRUNCH OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS ARE EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

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. IN SUCH CASES, YOU AGREE THAT BECAUSE SUCH WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND KRUNCH AND ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND KRUNCH, KRUNCH’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT KRUNCH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER THE SERVICE TO YOU ON AN ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

NOTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENTS

15.1 KRUNCH respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of copyrights and all other intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our users to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service.

15.2 KRUNCH’s intellectual property policy is to (1) remove material that KRUNCH believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or their agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available through the Service, and (2) remove any content posted to the Service by “repeat infringers.” KRUNCH considers a “repeat infringer” to be any user that has uploaded content to the Service and for whom KRUNCH has received more than two takedown notices compliant with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) with respect to such content. KRUNCH has discretion, however, to terminate the account of any user after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon KRUNCH’s own determination.

15.3 Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement.

(a) If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” containing the following information to the Designated Agent identified below. Your communication must include substantially the following:

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
(ii) Identification of works or materials being infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
(iii) Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit KRUNCH to locate the material;
(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit KRUNCH to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
(v) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. You should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.

15.4 Designated Agent Contact Information. KRUNCH’s Designated Agent for notices of claimed infringement can be contacted via email at services@ikrunch.com

15.5 Counter Notification.

(a) If you receive a notification from KRUNCH that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide KRUNCH with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to KRUNCH’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 15.4, and include substantially the following information:

(i) A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
(ii) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and
the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
(iii) A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
(iv) The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which KRUNCH may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section

15.3 above or an agent of such person. A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.15.6 False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides that:

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [KRUNCH] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

U.S.C. 512(f).

KRUNCH reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a notification of claimed infringement or counter notification in violation of the law.

15.7 For the avoidance of doubt, only notices submitted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the procedures set forth in this Section 17 should be sent to the Designated Agent at services@ikrunch.com. Any other comments, compliments, complaints, or suggestions about KRUNCH, the operation of the Service or any other matter should be sent to support@ikrunch.com.

PRIVACY

Use of the Service is governed by KRUNCH’s Privacy Policy, www.ikrunch.io/pages/privacy-policy, which policy is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference.

JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES

The Site and the Service are controlled and operated by KRUNCH from its offices within the State of Florida. KRUNCH makes no representation that materials on the Site or through the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access or use
the Service from other locations, including from outside the United States of America, do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Access to the Service from jurisdictions where the contents or practices of the Service are illegal, unauthorized, or penalized is strictly prohibited.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.1 Mandatory Arbitration. Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. YOU AND KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH, to you via any other method available to KRUNCH, including via e-mail. The Notice to KRUNCH should be addressed to: KRUNCH, INC. 201 S PALM AVE, UNIT 503 SARASOTA, FL 34236, Attn: Legal (the “Arbitration Notice Address”). 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 KRUNCH do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH, then KRUNCH will promptly reimburse you for your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon KRUNCH’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 KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH AGREE THAT YOU AND KRUNCH 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 evidence 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 KRUNCH under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the commonwealth and federal courts located in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, and you and KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH seeks equitable relief of any kind. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms by KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH, 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 KRUNCH 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 KRUNCH 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, KRUNCH may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000, provided that KRUNCH 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 Vendors. Any disputes arising between a Buyer and a Vendor 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 between the Buyer and Vendor, if any, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. To the maximum extent permissible under law, you hereby agree not to join KRUNCH to any litigation between you and any other party to a Purchase Order or to seek discovery or other participation from KRUNCH related to such litigation. If you join or involve KRUNCH in any litigation between you and such other party to a Purchase Order (e.g., through discovery), then you hereby agree to reimburse KRUNCH for all costs incurred by KRUNCH in participating in or responding to such litigation, including outside attorneys’ fees.
