By using the Service or by clicking accept or agree to these Terms when this option is presented to you, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older and agree to be legally bound by the Terms without limitation or qualification. As described in more detail below, these Terms may be revised and updated by us from time to time without notice to you. Your continued use of the Service is your acceptance of the revised and updated Terms.

If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you should not access or use the Service.

In some instances, both these Terms and separate terms and conditions will apply, including without limitation, terms and conditions for our referral or rewards programs (collectively “Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless they expressly state otherwise.

IN SUCH JURISDICTION, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read the following Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) carefully. It affects your rights.

Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution and replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into these Terms constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).

The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and the Oportun Parties regarding, arising out of or relating to any aspect of your use of this Service or Sites, or any legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products marketed, provided, or billed to you through the Oportun Parties.

YOU AND THE OPORTUN PARTIES EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give the Oportun Parties an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to Oportun Inc., Legal Department, PO Box 4085, Menlo Park, CA 94026. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If the Oportun Parties do not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after receiving your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt-Out

Notwithstanding the above, you or the Oportun Parties may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies for small claims court, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 60 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT OR AGREE TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to Oportun Inc., PO Box 4085, Menlo Park, CA 94026. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Oportun through arbitration. This is the only way you can opt out of this Arbitration Provision. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Oportun. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

You or we are not required to submit claims for public injunctive relief under California or federal statutes that specifically provide for such relief to arbitration under this Provision. Such a claim is referred to in this Provision as a “Public Issue.” In the event that either you or we bring an action against the other that raises a Public Issue, that Public Issue shall be severed from all other issues, including damages or equitable remedies, and the proceedings relating to the Public Issue shall be stayed until the other issues are resolved by arbitration. Then, the proceedings relating to the Public Issue shall be recommenced, and any findings of fact or law decided by the arbitrator(s) shall be considered by the court but shall not be dispositive as to the Public Issue. In the event that either you or we elect to pursue such a claim through court proceedings, all other claims between us shall remain subject this Provision.

Arbitration Procedures

You and the Oportun Parties must agree to the arbitrator. If you and the Oportun Parties cannot agree to an arbitrator, the court will appoint one in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §5. The arbitration hearing may be in person or by teleconference, and it will take place in the United States. If in person, the hearing will take place in the federal district where you reside, at any venue required by law, or at another place that is more convenient to you if we agree.

Because the Sites, the Service and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the FAA governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. The arbitrator will have no authority to grant class action or representative relief or to join or consolidate claims.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, except for the limited right to appeal in the FAA. If the amount of the Dispute exceeds $25,000, any party can, within 14 days after the entry of the award by the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the administrator. The panel shall reconsider anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the “Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs” section below. Any final decision of the appeal panel is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA.

Location of Arbitration. You or the Oportun Parties may initiate arbitration in either San Mateo County, California or the judicial district that includes your billing address. However, if the Oportun Parties initiate the arbitration in San Mateo County, you shall have the right to have the arbitration transferred to the arbitrator office within the judicial district that includes your billing address.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. If you or the Oportun Parties elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with applicable law if contrary to the administrator’s rules. We shall pay the administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that the Oportun Parties pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise provided by applicable law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein. The Oportun Parties will also pay any fees and costs required by law or that are necessary to make this Provision enforceable. If the arbitrator determines that any claim, dispute or defense is frivolous or wrongfully intended to oppress or harass the other party, the arbitrator may award sanctions in the form of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party (including arbitration administration fees, arbitrator’s fees, and attorney, expert and witness fees), to the extent such fees and expenses could be imposed under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Language of Hearing. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English; however, you may have the arbitration hearing translated in Spanish or another language by a translator agreed to by you and Oportun Parties. If you and we cannot agree to a translator, the arbitrator will appoint one.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or disputes and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and the Oportun Parties specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Sites or the Service can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Severability and Continuation

If the court finds that any part of this Provision other than the Class Action Waiver cannot be enforced, the rest of this Provision will be enforced. If the court finds that the Class Action Waiver cannot be enforced, this entire Provision (except for this sentence) will be unenforceable with respect to the class action or representative claims. In no event will a class action or representative claim be arbitrated.

This Provision shall survive the termination of these Terms. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Oportun makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the notice address above), you may reject any such change and require the Oportun Parties to adhere to the present language in this Provision as of the day you entered into these Terms if a dispute between us arises. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 11 and any signed written agreement you have entered into for a loan or other lending or credit product, the terms of your signed written agreement shall control.

12. Failure to exercise rights does not constitute waiver

No failure, omission, or delay on our part in exercising any right under this agreement will preclude any other further exercise of that right or other right under this agreement.

13. Communications with Us
