IMPORTANT: PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF SERVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS IF YOU HAVE CREATED OR USED A BENTO ACCOUNT OR HAVE CLICKED AN “I ACCEPT” BUTTON WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF BENTO.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Bento Technologies, Inc. (“Bento,” “we” and “us”). You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Bento Services. Your using the Bento Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Bento Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the https://bentoforbusiness.com/brinks/legal

website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it. If you do not agree with such revised Terms of Service, you must close your Bento Account. These Terms of Service are separate and independent from the terms of the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement, which governs the relationship between you and Issuing Bank.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Bento Services. If you use the Bento Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

You must carefully review these Terms and documents referenced herein when choosing whether to use the Bento Service. Please be advised: These Terms contain provisions that govern how claims we have against each other are resolved, including an agreement to arbitrate, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit claims you have against us to binding and final arbitration. You will be permitted to pursue claims against us only on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you will be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only on an individual basis. The Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement covers all issues relating to access to your Deposit Account, your Brinks Travel + Expense Card, and financial transactions involving your Deposit Account or Brinks Travel + Expense Card, notwithstanding anything in these Terms.

Please note the following risks of using the Bento Service, which are set forth in more detail in the relevant sections of these Terms:

We may close, suspend, or limit your access to your Bento Account and the Bento Service if you violate these Terms, the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement, or any other agreement you enter into with Bento, or as may be otherwise specified in these Terms. We may also use fraud and risk modeling when assessing the risk associated with your Bento Account.

Capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1—Definitions, or the meaning set forth below.

Please review it carefully. It is available online here.

1.3 Your Use of Another User’s Information

You agree to use Information that you receive about another User only as necessary to use the Bento Service. You shall not disclose such Information to a third party, use such Information for your marketing purposes or use it for any other purposes, without Bento’s prior written consent to do so and, where required by law, the consent of the other User.

1.4 Location-Based Data

You may opt-out of providing location data through your mobile device; however, providing such data allows the Bento Service to provide you with more relevant advertising, payment information, or Third Party Offers based on your location. Unless you opt-out of providing location data, you consent to the collection, use, sharing, and onward transfer of location data, as further set forth in the Privacy Policy.

4. YOUR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT

4.1 Deposit Account Service

As stated above, to use the Bento Service, you must create a Deposit Account with Issuing Bank and you hereby authorize us to share any Information you provide to us with Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank will use such Information in accordance with its privacy practices.. If you request a Deposit Account and the request is accepted, then Issuing Bank will receive, hold and transfer funds on your behalf, subject to the terms of the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement  (the “Deposit Account Services”). Once you have created your Deposit Account, you will be eligible to receive Deposit Account Services. Issuing Bank, not Bento, provides the DepositAccount Service to you. Bento does not receive, hold or transfer your funds under the Deposit Account Service. Bento is, however, engaged by Issuing Bank as its limited agent only to help provide the following portions of the Deposit Account Service: administering your enrollment into that service; receiving, approving, and relaying your transfer instructions for execution by Issuing Bank; accounting services and reporting services regarding the funds held or transferred for you by Issuing Bank; and, associated customer support. The Brinks Travel + Expense Card is not a credit card, and Bento and Issuing Bank are not extending credit in connection with your use of the Bento Service.

4.2 Deposit Account — Generally

Your Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account balance does not earn interest. The Deposit Account is not a payroll account and cannot be used to make payroll payments to anyone. Transactions with your Deposit Account may be limited by applicable limits set by Issuing Bank under the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement or Bento as set forth in these Terms.

4.3 Reported Deposit Account Balance

You acknowledge that balances and available funds reported via the Bento Service only approximate real time balances rather than the settled balances in your Deposit Account. A real time balance may not take into account pending debits and credits. Despite that fact, Bento will provide you information about pending debits and credits when it has that information.

4.4 Loading Your Account

The Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement governs any and all loads to your account. To load your account, you must request an electronic transfer from either your Registered Bank Account or a debit or credit card. In such a transaction, you are instructing Bento to instruct Issuing Bank to accept electronic transfers via direct deposit, ACH, or from a credit card, or debit card, in the amount you specify, and to deposit such funds into your Cardholder Account. You give Bento the right to instruct Issuing Bank to resubmit any ACH debit or charge to a debit or credit card you authorized that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds. Loads from debit or credit cards are subject to the fees described in the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement.

4.5 Automatic Reloads

If you turn on the automatic reloads feature in the transfer of a predetermined sum to be initiated to your Deposit Account from either your Registered Bank Account, credit card, or debit card, the load will be initiated on the day of the week or day of the month of the selected date. If the selected day is a non-business day or a federal holiday, the load will be initiated the following business day. The Deposit Account Agreement governs this preauthorized load activity, including any fees you might be subject to. By turning on this feature, you certify that you have written approval from or a written agreement with the issuer of your Registered Bank Account, credit card, or debit card to have reoccurring preauthorized transfers between your Registered Bank Account, credit card, or debit card and your Deposit Account.

a. Cash Transaction

b. Bento Card

By sending money via one such Payment Method, you authorize and instruct Bento to instruct Issuing Bank and any other applicable service providers to debit your particular Payment Instrument for the applicable amount. Once you have provided your authorization for the Transaction, you will not be able to cancel it, except as described in the Cardholder Account Agreement, or as provided for by applicable law. You are solely responsible for confirming the accuracy of any Transactions made by you or through any requests for payment, e.g. bills or invoices, received and accepted by you.

5.2 Bento Card

5.3 Fraud Detection

Bento may delay, in its sole discretion, sending instructions on your behalf if we have reason to believe that your instructions may involve fraud or misconduct, or violate applicable law, these Terms, or applicable Bento policies, as determined in Bento’s sole and absolute discretion.

5.4 Taxes

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Bento is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any Transaction. You hereby agree to comply with any and all applicable tax laws in connection with your use of the Bento Service, including without limitation, the reporting and payment of any taxes arising in connection with Transactions made through the Bento Service.

5.5 Deposit Account Agreement

Nothing in this Section 5 will be considered to supersede the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement between you and Issuing Bank. In the event of a conflict in terms between the two, the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement will supersede these Terms.

6.1 How You May Close Your Bento Account and Deposit Account

If you wish to close your Bento Account you must contact us by email at support@brinkstravelapp.com. Your Bento Account can be closed only by you and only by contacting Bento via email. If you contact us with such a request, we will take certain steps to verify your identity and you agree to cooperate in such verification.

When your Bento Account is closed, we will cancel any pending instructions you have given us.

If you have signed up for Brinks Travel + Expense free trial period, services are provided ‘as-is’ without any warranty during this trial period.  After the free trial period ends, you must purchase a subscription before continuing to use the service.  If you do not purchase a subscription, your service will remain in suspended state until you either purchase a subscription or affirmatively terminate your account, or Bento chooses to terminate your account for non-use.  In the event of an account termination (by you or by Bento), any stored funds will be refunded to your external bank account or to you via check or money order in a timely fashion.

8.2 Subscription Terms

Bento may offer both monthly and annual subscriptions.  For information regarding Bento’s current fees and subscription plans, please visit Brinks Travel + Expense Pricing.

You are solely responsible for the proper cancellation of your account. You may cancel your account at any time by emailing support@brinkstravelapp.com or calling (844) 753-7586.

Yearly subscription pricing requires a one-year minimum commitment. If you cancel your subscription, or your subscription is suspended for nonpayment, before the end of the one-year commitment period, you will no longer qualify for yearly subscription pricing and you will be charged the difference between the monthly and yearly commitment pricing for the number of months your subscription was active.

Bento may at any time, upon notice of at least 30 days or a longer period if required by applicable law, change the price of your subscription or any part thereof, or institute new charges (including one-time charges). Bento may also, at any time, introduce new or changed products, services, or features.  Price changes and institution of new charges implemented during a monthly subscription will come into effect in the subsequent month.  One-year subscription price changes will come into effect for any subsequent one-year subscription periods.  After the effective date of the change, any new subscribers will be presented with the latest pricing. If you do not agree to any such price changes, then you must cancel your subscription and stop using the Service prior to the commencement of the renewal subscription period for which the price change applies.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes or duties imposed by governing authorities. You alone are responsible for payment of all such taxes or duties.

8.3 Paying for your Bento Subscription

Bento may offer various methods for paying for your Brinks Travel + Expense account, including but not limited to, credit card or debiting your Deposit Account. You will have the ability to select from the available payment methods when setting up your Bento Account. If you choose to pay for the Services via your Bento for Business account, Bento will charge for service by debiting billing amounts from the cash balance that you maintain with Bento.  If your Bento account cannot be debited (due to low or zero balance), your access to service may be downgraded, suspended, and/or terminated.  You will need to increase your Bento cash balance in a timely fashion in order to resume use.  It is recommended to maintain a minimum balance above your subscription price in order to prevent interruptions in service.  A terminated account may not be reactivated. Bento reserves the rights to change the approved payment methods at any time.

8.4 Subscription Fees Nonrefundable

Service is billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis and is non-refundable. Bento will email you a statement after your account has been successfully debited.  You will also receive a notice if Bento could not debit your account due to low or zero balance. You must notify Bento in writing within seven days after receiving your billing statement if you dispute any charges on that statement or you will be deemed to have waived any right to contest such charges. All notices of disputed charges should be sent to: by emailing support@brinkstravelapp.com or calling (844) 753-7586.

8.5 Subscription Upgrades and Downgrades

You may upgrade or downgrade plan levels within billing cycles.  For any upgrade in plan level, your account will be charged a pro-rated amount in the next billing period.  While you have the ability to upgrade and downgrade your account, downgrading your service may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your Account as of the moment you downgrade your account. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, downgrade refunds, or refunds for months/years unused with an open account. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.

Bento may downgrade, suspend, or terminate your access to the Service without prior notice and without liability if such action is based on (a) Bento’s belief that you have violated any provision of these Terms (including a failure to make any payment when due), or (b) you do not log in to or otherwise use the Service for a period of 30 days.  In the event of account termination, any stored funds (less any unpaid billing charges) will be refunded to your external bank account in a timely fashion.

8.6 Subscription Price Change Notifications

Bento may at any time, upon notice of at least 30 days or a longer period if required by applicable law, change the price of your subscription or any part thereof, or institute new charges (including one-time charges). Bento may also, at any time, introduce new or changed products, services, or features.  Price changes and institution of new charges implemented during a monthly subscription will come into effect in the subsequent month.  One-year subscription price changes will come into effect for any subsequent one-year subscription periods.  After the effective date of the change, any new subscribers will be presented with the latest pricing. If you do not agree to any such price changes, then you must cancel your subscription and stop using the Service prior to the commencement of the renewal subscription period for which the price change applies.

9.1 Electronic Delivery of Communications

You agree and consent to electronic receipt of all Communications that we provide in connection with your Bento Account and the Bento Service. Since Bento is an electronic service, you agree that Bento has no obligation to send, and you have no right to receive, communications in paper form. We will provide Communications to you by making them available through the Bento Service or by emailing them to you at the primary email address listed in your Bento Account profile.

9.2 Checking for Communications and Updates

It is your responsibility to log on to your Bento Account and the Bento Service to open and review Communications that we deliver to you through those means. We may, but are not obligated under these Terms to provide you with notice of the posting of a Communication to your Bento Account or the Bento Service. You are obligated to review your notices and Transaction history, and to promptly report any questions, apparent errors, or unauthorized Transactions. Failure to timely contact Bento may result in loss of funds or important rights. You agree that we will not provide you with a separate periodic statement for your use of the Bento Service unless you specifically request one, in which case you will be charged a fee as described in the Deposit Account Agreement. You are responsible for reviewing the Transactions reflected in your Transaction history, as made available in the Mobile App and online at brinkstravelapp.com. Your rights and responsibilities under the Cardholder Account Agreement supersede and when the two overlap or are in conflict.

9.3 Calls to You; Mobile Telephone Numbers

If a telephone number provided to us is a mobile telephone number, you consent to receive SMS or text messages at that number, for service-related matters. We will not share your phone number with non-affiliated third parties for their purposes without your consent and we will never market, advertise, or solicit you using autodialing or prerecorded messages, but we may share your phone numbers with our affiliates or with our service providers, such as billing or collections companies, who may contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls or text messages. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply if we contact you.

9.4 Recording Calls

You understand and agree that Bento may, without further notice or warning and in our discretion, monitor or record the telephone conversations you or anyone acting on your behalf has with Bento or its agents for quality control and training purposes or for its own protection. You acknowledge and understand that, while your communications with Bento may be overheard, monitored, or recorded without further notice or warning, not all telephone lines or calls may be recorded by Bento, and Bento does not guarantee that recordings of any particular telephone calls will be retained or retrievable.

9.5 Updating Your Contact Information

It is your responsibility to keep your primary email address up to date so that Bento can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if Bento sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, Bento will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you. You can update your primary email address at any time by logging into the Bento Service or by calling (844) 753-7586. If your email address becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by Bento are returned, Bento may deem your Bento Account to be inactive, and you will not be able to use your Bento Account until we receive a valid, working primary email address from you. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add Bento to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you.

If a telephone number provided to us is a mobile telephone number, you consent to receive SMS or text messages at that number, for service-related matters. We will not share your phone number with non-affiliated third parties for their purposes without your consent and we will never market, advertise, or solicit you using autodialing or prerecorded messages, but we may share your phone numbers with our affiliates or with our service providers, such as billing or collections companies, who may contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls or text messages.

9.5 Updating Your Contact Information

It is your responsibility to keep your primary email address up to date so that Bento can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if Bento sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, Bento will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you. You can update your primary email address at any time by logging into the Bento Service or by calling (844) 753-7586. If your email address becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by Bento are returned, Bento may deem your Bento Account to be inactive, and you will not be able to use your Bento Account until we receive a valid, working primary email address from you. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add Bento to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you.

11.4 Deposit Account Agreement

The Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement between you and Issuing Bank will supersede this section, Section 11, for the purposes of any rights and liabilities related to your Deposit Account.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

You and Bento agree that any claim or Dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between you and Bento will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. Please read this Section carefully. It affects your rights and will impact how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

12.1 Arbitration Generally

If a Dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind arises out of or relates to these Terms, you and we agree to resolve any such Dispute, claim, or controversy exclusively through mandatory binding arbitration. You should review this provision carefully. This arbitration provision limits your and our ability to litigate claims in court, and you and we each agree to waive your and our respective rights to a jury trial. Any arbitration under this provision shall take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You will not have the right to participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or member of any class of claimants for any claim subject to arbitration. A claim by, or on behalf of, other persons will not be considered in, joined with, or consolidated with the arbitration proceedings between you and us. Any Dispute regarding the prohibitions in the prior sentence shall be resolved by the arbitrator in accordance with these Terms.

12.2 Applicable Law

You agree that the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any claim or Dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Bento.

12.3 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Bento each agree that any and all Disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Bento shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.

a.     Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND BENTO AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BENTO AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER BENTO USERS.

b.     Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator also must follow these Terms as a court would. If the Dispute is for $500,000 or less, the case shall be heard by a sole arbitrator. In all other instances, the case shall be heard by three (3) arbitrators.

The arbitration will be conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect.. JAMS’ rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on JAMS’ website.

The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Bento may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Bento subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or Bento, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

c.     Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS’ rules, unless otherwise stated in these Terms. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, Bento will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Bento should be submitted by mail to the JAMS along with your demand for arbitration and Bento will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the JAMS. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Bento will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being so cost-prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse Bento for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Bento on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the JAMS’ rules.

d.     Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in subsection (a) of this Section 12.3 (Agreement to Arbitrate), if a court decides that any part of this Section is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in subsection (a) of this Section is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms will continue to apply.

e.     Future Changes to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any change to this Section (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Bento prior to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate the agreement to arbitrate as included in these Terms, any such termination shall not be effective until 30 days after the version of the Terms not containing the agreement to arbitrate is made available to you in accordance with these Terms, and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Bento prior to the effective date of termination.

12.4 Insolvency Proceedings

If any proceeding by or against you is commenced under any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any other bankruptcy or insolvency law, Bento will be entitled to recover all reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of these Terms.

12.5 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Bento, our parent, affiliates and the officers, directors, agents, joint venturers, employees and suppliers of Bento harmless from any claim or demand (including attorneys’ fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms, your improper use of the Bento Service, and/or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

12.6 Release of Bento

If you have a Dispute with one or more Users, you release Bento (and our parent, our affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, agents, joint ventures, employees and suppliers) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such Disputes. You agree that you will not involve Bento in any litigation or other Dispute arising out of or related to any Transaction, agreement, or arrangement with any User, advertiser or other third party in connection with the Bento Service. If you attempt to do so, (i) you shall pay all costs and attorneys’ fees of Bento and other Bento affiliates and shall provide indemnification as set forth below, and (ii) the jurisdiction for any such litigation or Dispute shall be limited as set forth below. However, nothing in these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any rights, claims or defenses that you may have with respect to a Transaction under the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement, the card association rules or applicable state and federal laws, such as the federal Truth in Lending Act or the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise — e.g., California Civil Code § 1542) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

12.7 Deposit Account Agreement

To the extent that any Dispute is contemplated by or covered by the Brinks Travel + Expense Deposit Account Agreement that agreement will supersede this one for the purposes of this Section 12.

13. GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Limitations of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR PARENT AND AFFILIATES, AND THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS OF BENTO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., (“BENTO ENTITIES”) BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR WEBSITE, THE BENTO SERVICE, THE BENTO APP OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER ARISING. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE LIABILITY OF BENTO-LIMITED ENTITIES TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AND IN THE AGGREGATE IS LIMITED TO $100. IN ADDITION, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW BENTO-LIMITED ENTITIES ARE NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO HOLD THESE PARTIES RESPONSIBLE, FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF MONEY, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION, PROFITS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES OR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES) RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM: (1) YOUR USE OF OR YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE BENTO SERVICE; (2) DELAYS OR DISRUPTIONS IN THE BENTO SERVICE; (3) VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE OBTAINED BY ACCESSING THE BENTO SERVICE OR ANY ASSOCIATED SITE OR SERVICE; (4) GLITCHES, BUGS, ERRORS, OR INACCURACIES OF ANY KIND IN THE BENTO SERVICE; (5) THE CONTENT, ACTIONS, OR INACTIONS OF THIRD PARTIES; (6) A SUSPENSION OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO YOUR BENTO ACCOUNT; (7) YOUR NEED TO MODIFY PRACTICES, CONTENT, OR BEHAVIOR, OR YOUR LOSS OF OR INABILITY TO DO BUSINESS, AS A RESULT OF CHANGES TO THESE TERMS OR BENTO’S POLICIES. BENTO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY ITS POLICIES AND THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OUTLINED HEREIN.

13.2 No Warranty

THE BENTO SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. BENTO, AND THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS OF BENTO, OUR PARENT OR OUR AFFILIATES, (COLLECTIVELY, “BENTO PARTIES”), MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER FOR THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT, MATERIALS, INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS MADE ACCESSIBLE BY THE BENTO SERVICE USED ON OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE BENTO SERVICE, OR FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE BENTO SERVICE. THE BENTO PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE BENTO SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. THE BENTO PARTIES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SYSTEM FAILURES OR OTHER INTERRUPTIONS THAT MAY AFFECT THE RECEIPT, PROCESSING, ACCEPTANCE, COMPLETION OR SETTLEMENT OF PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS OR THE BENTO SERVICE. THE BENTO PARTIES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

BENTO DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT ARE PAID FOR WITH THE BENTO SERVICE. BENTO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL RESULTS OF THE PRODUCTS AND OR SERVICES PURCHASED DURING THE TRANSACTIONS. BENTO CANNOT ENSURE THAT A MERCHANT YOU ARE DEALING WITH WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION OR IS AUTHORIZED TO DO SO. BENTO DOES NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO ANY PART OF THE BENTO SERVICE, AND OPERATION OF THE BENTO SERVICE MAY BE INTERFERED WITH BY NUMEROUS FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. BENTO WILL MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT REQUESTS FOR ELECTRONIC DEBITS AND CREDITS INVOLVING BANK ACCOUNTS AND CREDIT CARDS, ARE PROCESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER BUT BENTO MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE PROCESSING BECAUSE THE BENTO SERVICE IS DEPENDENT UPON MANY FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS DELAYS IN THE BANKING SYSTEM. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS PARAGRAPH GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

13.3 Third Party Agreements

These Terms do not amend or otherwise modify your agreement with the issuer of your Payment Instrument, or Third Party Offer, or any other agreement with a third party, and you are responsible for ensuring your use of the Bento Service complies with such agreements. You also are responsible for all charges and/or debits to your Payment Instrument resulting from purchases, redemptions of Third Party Offers using the Bento Service, in accordance with such agreements. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and your agreement with the issuer of your Payment Instrument or Third Party Offer, or any other agreement with a third party, these Terms govern the relationship between you and Bento solely with respect to the Bento Service, and your agreement with such third party governs the relationship between you and such third party. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the Payment Instrument or Third Party Offer and other information you enter or otherwise store in the Bento Service. Bento is not responsible for the accuracy or availability of any information you enter or otherwise store in the Bento Service, including, without limitation, whether such information is current and up-to-date.

13.4 Complete Agreement

These Terms set forth the entire understanding between you and Bento with respect to the Bento Service. Any other terms which by their nature should survive, will survive the termination of these Terms.

13.8 Termination by Bento
