CIVX CONTRIBUTIONS

Users shall have the option to make a monetary contribution to support (a “Support Contribution”) or oppose (an “Oppose Contribution”) certain Eligible Bills. A “Contribution” means either a Support Contribution or an Oppose Contribution. CivX shall deduct an administration fee equal to 10% of the amount of each Contribution (the “CivX Admin Fee”) and Users shall be charged a fixed processing fee equal to $0.30 per Contribution, which shall be in addition to the Contribution. The CivX Admin Fee shall be deducted at the time a Contribution is made and all Contributions shall be non-refundable.

In connection with each Eligible Bill, all associated Support Contributions shall be pooled together and separately earmarked (the “Support Pool”) and all associated Oppose Contributions shall be pooled together and separately earmarked (the “Oppose Pool”). Upon the occurrence of a Voting Event, the following shall occur: (i) an amount equal to the Support Pool minus corresponding CivX Admin Fee(s) (the “Net Support Funds”), if any, shall be disbursed equally to Running Members that voted “Yea” for the passage of the Eligible Bill and (ii) an amount equal to the Oppose Pool minus corresponding CivX Admin Fee(s) (the “Net Oppose Funds”), if any, shall be disbursed equally to Running Members that voted “Nay” for the passage of the Eligible Bill.

To the extent a Voting Event for an Eligible Bill does not occur by the Voting Deadline, any corresponding Net Support Funds and Net Oppose Funds shall be disbursed to certain default recipients (collectively, the “Default Recipients”) according to the following parameters (the “Default Conditions”): (A) if a Partial Voting Event has occurred, the Net Support Funds, if any, shall be disbursed equally to Running Members from the Originating Congress Chamber that voted “Yea” for the passage of the Eligible Bill and the Net Oppose Funds, if any, shall be disbursed equally to Running Members from the Originating Congress Chamber that voted “Nay” for the passage of the Eligible Bill, or (B) if a Partial Voting Event has not occurred, the Net Support Funds, if any, shall be disbursed equally to (i) the original sponsor(s) and co-sponsor(s) that introduced the Eligible Bill and (ii) any Committee Members involved with any Committee Action in support of the Eligible Bill, and the Net Oppose Funds, if any, shall be disbursed equally to (i) any Committee Members involved with any Committee Action in opposition of the Eligible Bill or, (ii) if there has been no Committee Action, the National Campaign Committees. A “Disbursement” shall mean any disbursement of Net Support Funds or Net Oppose funds to Running Members and/or Default Recipients in connection with a particular Eligible Bill.

Following a Voting Event or the occurrence of the Default Conditions, any applicable Disbursements shall be made to the extent the Per Candidate Disbursement exceeds the Per Candidate Disbursement Threshold. To the extent the Per Candidate Disbursement is less than the Per Candidate Disbursement Threshold, such Per Candidate Disbursement shall be deemed to be pledged towards each corresponding Running Member and/or Default Recipient (“Pledged Candidate Amounts”) and pooled together until such Pledged Candidate Amounts exceed the Per Candidate Disbursement Threshold, at which point such Pledged Candidate Amounts become Disbursements. Any Pledged Candidate Amounts that remain below the Per Candidate Distribution Threshold following the Voting Deadline shall be carried over to the next session of Congress.

All Disbursements are facilitated by National CivX, a nonconnected political action committee associated with CivX. National CivX shall use best efforts to make Disbursements on a quarterly basis, but under no circumstances shall Disbursements be made more than 10 calendar days following the Voting Deadline. During each Active Session of Congress, the aggregate Per Candidate Disbursements corresponding to each Running Member shall not exceed (i) $2,800 through the occurrence of any associated primary election (the “Primary Election Contribution Limit”), (ii) $2,800 between the occurrence of any associated primary election and the general election (the “General Election Contribution Limit”) and (iii) $2,800 between the occurrence of the general election and any associated runoff election (the “Runoff Election Contribution Limit”). In the event the aggregate Per Candidate Disbursements corresponding to any Running Member exceed the sum of the Primary Election Contribution Limit plus the General Election Contribution Limit plus the Runoff Election Contribution Limit (collectively, the “Active Congress Session Limit”), amounts above the Active Congress Session Limit shall be considered to be Pledged Candidate Amounts and carried over to the next session of Congress.

For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, to the extent a User makes a $10.00 Contribution, such User shall be charged $10.30 and then: (i) $1.00 in connection with the CivX Admin Fee shall be payable to CivX, (ii) $0.30 shall be paid to CivX’s third-party payment processor and (iii) $9.00 shall remain in the bank account associated with National CivX. All Disbursements shall me made to the authorized committee associated with each applicable Running Member and/or Default Recipient. Per IRS Section 6113, all contributions made on CivX are not tax deductible.

The “Active Session of Congress” represents the current session of Congress.

“Committee Action” shall be defined as any formal voting activity by Committee Members.

“Committee Members” shall include any Running Members that participate in any committee and/or subcommittee assigned to take action on the Eligible Bill.

The “Congressional Election” represents the general election for members of the House of Representatives (the “House”) and the Senate.

“Elected Seats” represent all 535 elected seats of Congress within the House and the Senate.

“Eligible Bills” shall include any docketed Bills and Joint Resolutions displayed on CivX within the Featured Bills category, selections for which are made at the discretion of CivX. “Bills” include legislation designated by the letters “H.R.” or “S.” in the Congressional docket. “Joint Resolutions” include legislation designated by the letters “H.J.Res.” or “S.J.Res.” in the Congressional docket.

“Incumbent Members” include members of Congress currently holding a Reelection Seat.

The “National Campaign Committees” shall be comprised of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

A “Partial Voting Event” occurs when an Eligible Bill is formally voted upon and passed in either the House or the Senate, but not both (either, the “Originating Congress Chamber”).

The “Per Candidate Disbursement” represents the equal share of any Disbursement for a particular Eligible Bill attributable to (i) each applicable Running Member upon the occurrence of a Voting Event by the Voting Deadline or (ii) each applicable Default Recipient, as the case may be.

The “Per Candidate Disbursement Threshold” is equal to $0.01.

A “Reelection Seat” is an Elected Seat that is up for reelection during the next upcoming Congressional Election.

“Running Members” are defined as Incumbent Members running for reelection during the next upcoming Congressional Election.

The “Voting Deadline” shall be September 30th in the second year of the Active Session of Congress.

A “Voting Event” occurs when an Eligible Bill is (i) voted upon by the full House and passed and (ii) voted upon by the full Senate (the “Senate”) and passed, at which point such Eligible Bill is sent to the President of the United States for consideration.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least three hundred sixty six (366) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAP Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in United States Summit County, Colorado. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Summit County, Colorado, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non convenient with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning Informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
