Referral Fees will be paid approximately 30-45 days following the completion of each applicable Valid Transaction. Referral Fees are limited to one (1) per Valid Transaction, to be paid to the Participant who first submits a completed lead submission for the applicable Buyer.

Your participation shall at all times be exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit. United Access does not, and will not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your promotion of its products.
6. Term; Termination.
The Term will continue until the United Access Referral Program is terminated by United Access, or until either party provides notice to the other of its intent to withdraw or terminate Participant from the program. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately with or without cause upon written notice to the other party (email notice permitted). Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, all incentives will likewise terminate. In the event of a termination, Participant will only receive Referral Fees that were earned in full for a Valid Transaction that occurred prior to the effective termination date.

If you choose to participate in the United Access Referral or use United Access’ websites, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The United Access Referral Program, related websites and any digital or printed collateral are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, United Access makes no warranty or guarantee that the United Access Referral program, or any website, will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. In no event will United Access’ aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of or inability to use the United Access Referral Program exceed the sum of one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between United Access and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OR RELATING TO THE UNITED ACCESS REFERRAL PROGRAM OR THESE TERMS (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE INTERPRETATION OR PERFORMANCE UNDER THESE TERMS) ("Dispute") WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, EXCLUDING THAT STATE’S CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES.
13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and United Access each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact United Access’ customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate, one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and United Access mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, or participation in the United Access Referral Program (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and United Access agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and United Access each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778–7879.
Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient for you, United Access agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in St. Louis County; (c) in any other location to which you and United Access both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
Jury Trial Waiver. You and United Access acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and United Access acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and United Access both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and United Access agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
Severability. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
Changes. If United Access changes this Section (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of United Access’ email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and United Access (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and United Access.
Survival. This Section 12 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop participating in the United Access Referral Program or terminate your relationship with United Access.
14. Miscellaneous.
All notices, unless otherwise stated herein, must be in writing and addressed to the attention of the other party. Notice will be deemed given when delivered (a) when verified by written receipt if sent by personal courier, overnight courier or mail or (b) when verified by automated receipt of electronic logs if sent by facsimile or email. Participant will not assign or otherwise transfer his/her rights or delegate his/her obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, and any attempt to do so will be null and void. These Terms are not intended to benefit, nor shall they be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. The parties are independent contractors and the Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or joint venture. No party is liable for inadequate performance to the extent caused by a condition that was beyond its reasonable control. Failure to enforce any provision will not constitute a waiver. If any provision is found unenforceable, the balance of the provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms represent the parties’ entire agreement relating to this subject matter and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. Any amendments must be in writing and executed by both parties (electronic form acceptable).
15. Notices.
All notices directed to United Access shall be provided in email, and sent to legal@braunability.com. United Access may provide any formal notices to Participant at the email address provided at the time Participant registers for the program.
