This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your use of the Service. By using the Service or otherwise entering into this Agreement, you are creating a binding contract with us. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the Service.
This Agreement is subject to change. If this Agreement changes, we will let you know by posting the revised Agreement on the Service and/or otherwise making you aware of the changes.

1. Right to Access
As long as you are in compliance with the conditions of this Agreement and all incorporated documents, we hereby grant you a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive right to access, receive, and use the Service. No rights not explicitly listed are granted.

3. Overview
The Service is designed to, among other things, permit attorneys ("Attorneys") to solicit and engage with entities willing to provide litigation funding (each, a "Funder"), and to provide virtual data room (“Data Room”) functionality. In order to access and use certain functionality within the Service, Attorneys and Funders must create an account (an "Account").
From time to time, the Service may originate, arrange, or otherwise facilitate directly or indirectly, a match, connection, or introduction between a Funder and Attorney, through their use of the Service (a “Match”; “Matched” shall have the correlative meaning) for a particular opportunity to fund a litigation claim, dispute, case, or cause of action (each, a "Case"). If that Funder agrees to fund the Matched Case, and the responsible Attorney (that posted the Matched Case) agrees to accept funding from the Funder (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Attorney's client, as applicable) with respect thereto (a "Funding"; the aggregate committed amount of the Funding (regardless of the time or conditions to funding), the "Funding Amount") as a result of the Match, the Funder and Attorney will proceed to enter into a Funding Agreement (as defined below). The Funder and Attorney will each notify LexFund in writing via email ( Payments@LexFund.com) of their entry into an agreement memorializing the Funding ("Funding Agreement") no later than the date such agreement is fully executed. Such notice (the "Transaction Notice"), will contain the date of entry into the Funding Agreement, the Funding Amount, and the method by which the Funding Amount and the Fee (defined below) will be paid. The Attorney and Funder agree to issue a supplemental Transaction Notice if any additional/follow-on Funding Amount are later provided under the same Funding Agreement.
You agree that any such Funding Agreement shall require payment of the 2% Fee (as defined below) of the aggregate Funding Amount to LexFund as requirement of such Funding, such amount to be due payable to LexFund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Funder and Attorney hereby agree that LexFund is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of each term and/or agreement set forth in any Funding Agreement (or other document executed in connection therewith) that provides for, or otherwise pertains to, the payment of the Fee, with full power and authority to enforce the payment of the Fee as if LexFund were named as a party to the Funding Agreement (or any other document executed in connection therewith). As used in this Section 3 and Section 7, "use of the Service" shall mean any use by Funder and Attorney of the data, content, information, tools, functionality, updates, and similar materials to facilitate, whether directly or indirectly, the Match of Funder and Attorney with respect to the funding of the Case, diligence on the Case, and/or the negotiation of a term sheet or definitive terms of such Funding.
As available, the Funder and Attorney may elect to have the Funding Amount paid through the Service. To the extent the Funding Amount will be paid through the Service, the Funder's Account (and to the extent the relevant Attorney will pay one or more Fees, the Attorney's Account) must be paired with one or more payment methods ("Payment Method"), including without limitation a valid bank account. Similarly, prior to receiving the Funding Amount through the Service, Attorneys must also create an Account and link it to a Payment Method in order to receive the funds. All information about Payment Method(s) must be accurate, up to date, and complete before a user may access or use the Service. Verification of information may be required prior to the completion or acknowledgment of setting up any Payment Method. The Service can be used by Attorneys and Funders prior to setting up the Payment Method, but the Payment Method must be set up prior to Funding a Case, or receiving funding, through the Service, as applicable to the party.
For the purposes of this Agreement, if you are an employee, agent, or other representative of a company or an organization, "you", "your", and similar terms shall refer to such an entity and you hereby represent your ability to bind that company legally to the terms of this Agreement.
4. Eligibility
Some parts of the Service may not be available to the general public, and we may impose additional eligibility rules from time to time on those portions of the Service. We reserve the right to amend or eliminate these eligibility requirements at any time.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement, and that you commit to abide by all the terms and conditions herein.
5. Important Notices
While we make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service remains available at all times, we do not represent or warrant that access to the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted, or without defect, and we do not guarantee that you will be able to access or use the Service, or its features, at all times.
THE SERVICE, AND ANY CONTENT (DEFINED BELOW) POSTED THEREIN, ARE FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. NOTHING CONTAINED WITHIN THE SERVICE, OR PRODUCED BY THE SERVICE, CONSTITUTES LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. CONSULT WITH YOUR LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVISORS, AS APPLICABLE, BEFORE RELYING ON, OR TAKING ACTION WITH RESPECT TO, ANY MATERIALS ON, OR PRODUCED BY, THE SERVICE.
LEXFUND IS NOT A LICENSED BROKER, DEALER, OR REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISOR, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE PERSONALIZED INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. ANY INVESTMENT DECISIONS ARE SOLELY THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY AND THE USER SHOULD CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISIONS. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT PROVIDED BY ANY USER OF THE SERVICE.
We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice.
The Service may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies, and may not be complete or current. We reserve the right, but we are not obligated, to correct any such errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.
PRIOR TO ENTERING ANY FUNDING AGREEMENT, THE ATTORNEY AND FUNDER MUST CONDUCT REASONABLE DILIGENCE. LEXFUND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS, LICENSES, STATUS, OR ANY OTHER INDICATION OF EITHER AN ATTORNEY'S OR A FUNDER'S ABILITY TO PERFORM WITH RESPECT TO A GIVEN CASE OR THE FUNDING AMOUNT, OR THEIR ABILITY TO GENERALLY CONDUCT THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESS. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, QUALIFYING AS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR (AS DEFINED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION), IF APPLICABLE.
6. Platform Integrity
You, as a user of the Service, acknowledge and agree that the material value of the Service is derived from its relationships with its Attorneys and Funders. Thus, as additional consideration for your right to use the Service, you agree that for a period starting when you first use the Service through a period of one (1) year after the settlement or final adjudication of the Case that appeared on the Service (the "Period"), you will not, directly or indirectly: (i) as an Attorney, solicit, engage, or accept any solicitation from any Funder with whom you/your Case became Matched on the Service to provide litigation funding for the Case that was registered or otherwise shared with any such Funder; and (ii) as a Funder, approach, solicit, bid, or seek to fund, or accept solicitation or a funding proposal, for the Case with any Attorney, or law firm with whom you became Matched on the Service, as a Funder, other than, in the case of Attorney and Funder, through the Service. You agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if you approach, solicit, bid, or seek to fund, or accept solicitation or a funding proposal with respect to any Case that was Matched through the Service other than through the Service, the Fee shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
7. Payments and Termination
The Funder shall pay, or cause Attorney to pay, to LexFund a servicing fee in the amount equal to 2% of the aggregate committed Funding Amount (calculated without regard to whether all or a portion of such Funding Amount is actually drawn, advanced or otherwise paid on the effective date of such Funding Agreement), and of any additional amount which may be committed or agreed to be advanced by the Funder after the signing of the Funding Agreement in respect of the Case as a result of the Match (all such amounts, the "Fees"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Fees constitute a servicing fee for use of the Service and shall not constitute a broker fee.
The Fees shall be due and payable at the time of execution of a Funding Agreement and shall be made simultaneously with the execution of the Funding Agreement, either through automatic deducted from the initial drawdown amount if Funding occurs through the Service or by ACH or wire transfer of immediately available funds if Funding occurs outside of the Service, as such methods are available. LexFund may, but shall have no obligation to, provide Funder and/or Attorney with an invoice setting for the amount and payment terms for the Fee. Failure of LexFund to provide an invoice shall not relieve Funder or Attorney of the obligation to pay the Fees in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent you fail to pay the Fee when due, a late payment charge on any overdue amounts equal to the lesser of two percent (2%) per month, which fee shall be compounded monthly, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law shall accrue automatically, without need for further action or notice by LexFund, until such payment is made in full. Funder shall be responsible for, and reimburse on demand, all fees, costs and expenses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all legal fees and costs) incurred by LexFund in enforcing the terms of this Section 7.
You agree that once paid, the Fees or any part thereof will not be refundable under any circumstances (including, without limitation, if Attorney does not receive the aggregate Funding Amount or initially sought or contemplated under the Funding Agreement). All Fees will be paid in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds.
For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that the Fees shall be fully earned, due and payable, upon the consummation of any litigation funding arrangement for the Case (or any cause of action or proceeding arising therefrom) that is Matched with a Funder through the use of the Service. Unless expressly modified in writing by LexFund, this Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement as between LexFund, on the one hand, and Funder and Attorney, on the other hand, with respect to the payment of the Fee and no further agreement, instrument or other document shall be required evidencing the obligation of Funder to pay the Fee.
Fees and other charges do not include, and shall not be subject to counterclaim or set-off for, federal, local, foreign, or similar transaction taxes, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto ("Taxes") now or hereafter levied, all of which shall be your responsibility. If we are required to pay Taxes on your behalf, you shall be invoiced for such Taxes and shall reimburse us for such amounts as described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, Taxes shall not include any taxes on LexFund's revenue/income, payroll, or overhead.
YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT, PLEASE LOGIN TO THE SERVICE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN OR EMAIL Accounts@LexFund.com FROM THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT WITH THE SUBJECT "CANCEL MY ACCOUNT."
All Fees are non-refundable, and non-dischargeable, including any charges incurred prior to termination of a Funder's account.
To collect and/or process Fees when the Funding Amount is paid through the Service, we may use a third party, to process payments (the "Payment Processor"). To the extent a Payment Processor is used, the processing of payments may be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERROR BY THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR, ATTORNEYS, OR FUNDERS WITH RESPECT TO ANY PAYMENT REQUESTED, AGREED TO, OR MADE ON, THROUGH, OR IN RELATION TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ERRORS IN ACCOUNT DATA OR AMOUNTS FUNDED. USERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILED TRANSFERS, AND ANY COSTS, EXPENSES, OR PENALTIES INCURRED BY LEXFUND AS A RESULT. You agree to provide us accurate and complete information about you and your chosen Payment Method. You authorize us to share such information as well as transaction information with the Payment Processor. You agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all applicable Fees. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method, and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, which shall charge your Payment Method at the time of (initial) funding. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any Payment Method that you provide and that such Payment Method has sufficient funds to pay the applicable Funding Amount and the Fee.
You may terminate your use of the Service and/or your Account at any time, provided, however, that a Funder's obligation to pay the Fee in accordance with Section 3 and Section 7 of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Arbitration
You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Service will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration between you and LexFund shall have one arbitrator.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must email us at Legal@LexFund.com and send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: LexFund, Inc., 254 Chapman Rd, Ste 208 #15787, Newark, Delaware 19702, USA.
Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect, shall be conducted in English, and shall be located in Wilmington, Delaware. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrators, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
You and LexFund agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and LexFund agree that each have waived any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or to collect unpaid amounts.
To the extent arbitrations does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN DELAWARE.
