·Permanent link: 11.1 Governing Law.
·The Agreement, and any dispute or controversy arising from or related to it, will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law provisions of any jurisdiction, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) below with respect to the Federal Arbitration Act, or, if applicable, the laws identified in the applicable Regional Schedule.
·Permanent link: 11.2 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.
·Ramp wants to address Company's concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing any claim against the other (whether in court or arbitration), Company and Ramp agree to try to first resolve the Dispute informally. To initiate such informal Dispute resolution, the party seeking to have its claim resolved ("Notifying Party") will notify the other party ("Notified Party") of the actual or potential Dispute ("Notice of Dispute"). If Company is the Notifying Party, Company will notify Ramp by email addressed to legal@ramp.com. If Ramp is the Notifying Party, Ramp will provide Notice to Company as set out in the Agreement. The Notifying Party will include in its Notice of Dispute the name of each party, the Notifying Party's contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute, and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the Notified Party to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised. If the Notified Party responds to the Notifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions to informally resolve the Dispute, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith.
·If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party's compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to timely respond as provided above), the Notifying Party may initiate a proceeding with respect to the subject Dispute as described below.
·Subject to the foregoing provisions regarding informal dispute resolution, each party to the Agreement agrees that any past, present, or future Dispute, including those arising under or relating to breach of the Agreement, or any other transaction or matter involving Company and Ramp, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules ("Rules"), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, unless the Dispute is subject to the "Arbitration Exceptions" below.
·If either party brings an action or otherwise commences any proceeding in any court or administrative agency involving, with respect to, or relating to such a Dispute (other than for an Arbitration Exception), such court or agency shall (i) stay such action or proceeding pending arbitration thereof; and (ii) award the party seeking such stay all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding. Further, if either party to the Agreement purports to initiate arbitration with respect to any Dispute without first providing an applicable Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the Agreement relating to the informal resolution of such Dispute, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim(s) that is the subject of such Dispute and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.
·Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator. The single arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit, subject to any effective and enforceable limitations of liability or exclusions of remedies set forth herein. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this paragraph, if a party seeks injunctive relief that would significantly impact other Ramp customers or users as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may -- if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators -- participate in the arbitral panel. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential.
·The arbitration will be held in English in New York County, New York, or, if Company or Ramp so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically, or via other remote electronic means. If the value of the relief sought in arbitration is $100,000 or less, Company or Ramp may elect to have the arbitration based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding, subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing. Any such election by the petitioner must be made in or concurrently with the applicable Demand for Arbitration and any such election by the respondent must be made in or concurrently with the applicable answer.
·Filing costs and administrative fees shall be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules; provided that the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded. All provisions of the Agreement that relate to arbitration shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in the Agreement.
·Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis and not as a class, group, or representative action (collectively, a "Class Action"). Further, neither Company nor Ramp may bring a claim as a part of a collective, coordinated, consolidated, or mass arbitration (each, a "Collective Arbitration"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Ramp will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees, or coordinate across the arbitrations. "Concurrently" for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.
·To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Company nor Ramp shall be entitled to consolidate, join, or coordinate Disputes subject to arbitration hereunder with any disputes or claims by or against other individuals or entities, or to arbitrate any Dispute in a representative capacity, including as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. In connection with any Dispute that is subject to arbitration hereunder, any and all such rights are hereby expressly and unconditionally waived. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator.
·Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company and Ramp each retain the right to bring either (i) an individual action in small claims court; or (ii) an individual debt collection action (the "Arbitration Exceptions"), even if the underlying Dispute is otherwise subject to arbitration hereunder. Either action may be brought in any court having jurisdiction.
·Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in the Agreement, if the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to Company or Company's Dispute, a judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, New York. Both Company and Ramp irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there for any Dispute; provided that either party may bring any action to confirm an arbitral award in any court having jurisdiction.
·The existence of and all information regarding any Dispute that is subject to arbitration hereunder will be held in strict confidence by Company and Ramp and will not be disclosed by either party hereto except as reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct of the arbitration or the confirmation or enforcement of any arbitral award. Any such permitted disclosure will, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, be made subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as the provisions of this paragraph. If any disclosure of information regarding any such Dispute is required under applicable law, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to obtain protective orders or otherwise to preserve the confidentiality of such information.
·Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.2 shall be superseded by the dispute resolution section of an applicable Regional Schedule.
·Permanent link: 11.3 Assignment.
·Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations without Ramp's prior written consent. Ramp may freely assign this Agreement. Any permitted assignee will be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
·Permanent link: 11.4 Notices.
·Notices under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered by email. Notices to Ramp must be sent to legal@ramp.com. Notices to Company will be sent to the email address associated with Company's account. Each notice is effective on the first business day after it is sent.
·Permanent link: 11.5 Amendments.
·Ramp may modify this Agreement, a Product Schedule, or other terms incorporated by reference by posting an amended version. Material changes will be communicated to Company with reasonable advance notice prior to taking effect for Company. If Company does not agree with a modification, Company's sole remedy is to terminate the applicable Service before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Services after a modification takes effect constitutes acceptance, subject to the applicable Regional Schedule and applicable law.
·Permanent link: 11.6 Entire Agreement; Severability.
·This Agreement, together with any Order Forms, Regional Schedules, Product Schedules, DPA, and terms incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations. In the event of a conflict: (a) the DPA controls concerning Ramp's processing of Personal Data on Company's behalf, (b) the applicable Regional Schedule controls concerning the Ramp contracting entity and geography-specific terms, (c) the applicable Product Schedule controls concerning the Service it covers, (d) an Order Form controls only to the extent it expressly conflicts with a provision of this Agreement or Schedule, and (e) this Agreement controls otherwise. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
·Permanent link: 11.7 Waiver.
·No waiver of any provision will be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. A party's failure to enforce any right under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right.
·Permanent link: 11.8 Customer Reference.
·Ramp may publicly identify Company as a Ramp customer and use Company's name and logo for that purpose during the Term. Company may opt out by notifying Ramp, and Ramp will use best efforts to remove such references.
·Permanent link: 11.9 Force Majeure.
·Neither party will be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, terrorism, labor disputes, or government actions.

Before filing any claim against the other (whether in court or arbitration), Company and Ramp agree to try to first resolve the dispute informally. To initiate such informal Dispute resolution, the party seeking to have its claim resolved ("Notifying Party") will notify the other party ("Notified Party") of the actual or potential Dispute ("Notice of Dispute"). If Company is the Notifying Party, Company will notify Ramp by email addressed to legal@ramp.com. If Ramp is the Notifying Party, Ramp will provide Notice to Company as set out in the Agreement. The Notifying Party will include in its Notice of Dispute the name of each party, the Notifying Party's contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute, and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the Notified Party to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised. If the Notified Party responds to the Notifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions to informally resolve the Dispute, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith.
·If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party's compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to timely respond as provided above) the Notifying Party may initiate a proceeding with respect to the subject Dispute as described below.

·Further, if either party to the Agreement purports to initiate arbitration with respect to any Dispute without first providing an applicable Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the Agreement relating to the informal resolution of such Dispute, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim(s) that is the subject of such Dispute and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.

·The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies that would be available in an individual lawsuit, subject to any effective and enforceable limitations of liability or exclusions of remedies set forth herein.

Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or a legal practitioner licensed to practice law in an EU jurisdiction relevant to the subject matter of the dispute and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In default of agreement between the two party-selected arbitrators on the identity of the chair, such person shall be appointed in accordance with the Irish Arbitration Rules.
·In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may -- if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators -- participate in the arbitral panel.
·Except as and to the extent otherwise required by law, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential.
·The arbitration will be held in English and the seat of the arbitration shall be in Dublin, Ireland.

·Subject to the foregoing provisions regarding informal dispute resolution, each party to the Agreement agrees that any past, present, or future Dispute, including those arising under or relating to breach of the Agreement, or any other transaction or matter involving Company and Ramp, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the ADR Institute of Canada ("ADRIC") under its Arbitration Rules ("Rules"), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, unless the Dispute is subject to the "Arbitration Exceptions" below.
·If either party brings an action or otherwise commences any proceeding in any court or administrative agency involving, with respect to, or relating to such a Dispute (other than for an Arbitration Exception), such court or agency shall (i) stay such action or proceeding pending arbitration thereof; and (ii) award the party seeking such stay all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding. Further, if either party to the Agreement purports to initiate arbitration with respect to any Dispute without first providing an applicable Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the Agreement relating to the informal resolution of such Dispute, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim(s) that is the subject of such Dispute and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.
·Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the ADRIC will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the ADRIC Rules. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit, subject to any effective and enforceable limitations of liability or exclusions of remedies set forth herein. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this paragraph, if a party seeks injunctive relief that would significantly impact other Ramp customers or users as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may - if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators - participate in the arbitral panel. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential.
·The arbitration will be held in English in the city of Toronto, province of Ontario, or, if Company or Ramp so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically, or via other remote electronic means. If the value of the relief sought in arbitration is CA$100,000 or less, Company or Ramp may elect to have the arbitration based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding, subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing. Any such election by the petitioner must be made in or concurrently with the applicable Demand for Arbitration and any such election by the respondent must be made in or concurrently with the applicable answer.
·Filing costs and administrative fees shall be paid in accordance with the ADRIC Rules; provided that the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded. All provisions of the Agreement that relate to arbitration shall be construed under and be subject to the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991, SO 1991, c 17, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in the Agreement.
·Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis and not as a class, group, or representative action (collectively, a "Class Action"). Further, neither Company nor Ramp may bring a claim as a part of a collective, coordinated, consolidated, or mass arbitration (each, a "Collective Arbitration"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Ramp will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees, or coordinate across the arbitrations. "Concurrently" for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.
·To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Company nor Ramp shall be entitled to consolidate, join, or coordinate Disputes subject to arbitration hereunder with any disputes or claims by or against other individuals or entities, or to arbitrate any Dispute in a representative capacity, including as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. In connection with any Dispute that is subject to arbitration hereunder, any and all such rights are hereby expressly and unconditionally waived. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator.
·Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company and Ramp each retain the right to bring either (i) an individual action in small claims court; or (ii) an individual debt collection action (the "Arbitration Exceptions"), even if the underlying Dispute is otherwise subject to arbitration hereunder. Either action may be brought in any court having jurisdiction.
·Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in the Agreement, if the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to Company or Company's Dispute, a judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the city of Toronto, province of Ontario. Both Company and Ramp irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there for any Dispute; provided that either party may bring any action to confirm an arbitral award in any court having jurisdiction.
·The existence of and all information regarding any Dispute that is subject to arbitration hereunder will be held in strict confidence by Company and Ramp and will not be disclosed by either party hereto except as reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct of the arbitration or the confirmation or enforcement of any arbitral award. Any such permitted disclosure will, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, be made subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as the provisions of this paragraph. If any disclosure of information regarding any such Dispute is required under applicable law, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to obtain protective orders or otherwise to preserve the confidentiality of such information.
