2. MyGallons Services.
2.1 Subscribing and Creating a Personal Account. In order to access all of the MyGallons Services, you will need to purchase an annual Subscription and create a Personal Account. A description of the available Subscription options, MyGallons Services packages and pricing, as such packages and pricing may exist and change from time to time, is set forth in the MyGallons Network (the “Product Descriptions”). When you purchase the Subscription you agree to pay an annual membership fee and other applicable fees as described in this Agreement and in the Terms of Use. In order to create a Personal Account and access the MyGallons Services you may be required to provide certain information, including, without limitation, credit card and/or checking account information on the MyGallons Network. You also agree to provide a current and working E-mail address and physical mailing address. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to keep current such E-mail address and physical mailing address on your Personal Account page in order to receive any notices or new information regarding the MyGallons Services. You may need to comply with certain technical requirements and provide personal and confidential information. These requirements, if any, will be set forth in the Product Descriptions. You acknowledge that, in connection with your use of the MyGallons Services, you shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. You will be able to monitor, maintain and update your Personal Account, view your fuel pre-purchases and redemptions, and track your MyGallons Fuel Card usage (if applicable), and remaining balance via the MyGallons Network.
2.2 Accessing the MyGallons Services. Once you have purchased a Subscription (including payment of your first annual membership fee), and activated your Personal Account, MyGallons will provide the MyGallons Services subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Terms of Use and as otherwise stated on the MyGallons Network. There are two ways to access the MyGallons Services. You can use the MyGallons Services through the MyGallons Network only, or you can choose to participate in the MyGallons Fuel Card program, in which case you may be able to use certain portions of the MyGallons Services by paying for fuel at participating filling stations with your MyGallons Fuel Card. If you choose to participate in the MyGallons Fuel Card program, you may receive a MyGallons Fuel Card from MyGallons.
2.2.1. Pre-Purchasing Fuel. If your annual membership is paid and in good standing, you may pre-purchase fuel at your then current MyGallons Price (plus any applicable fees) on the MyGallons Network using a credit card or by transferring funds to MyGallons from the checking account registered to your Personal Account via ACH or remote check printing.If your annual membership is not paid and in good standing and you place a pre-purchase order, you are authorizing MyGallons to deduct an amount of gallons with a value equal to the cost of your annual membership. MyGallons in its sole discretion reserves the right to limit the amount of fuel you pre-purchase at any one time or which may be held at any time in your Personal Account. MyGallons in it sole discretion may limit your maximum fuel pre-purchased per day and/or per month. YOU ARE NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PERMITTED TO USE THE MYGALLONS SERVICES FOR INVESTMENT OR SPECULATIVE PURPOSES.
2.2.2. Redeeming Fuel. If you do not participate in the MyGallons Fuel Card program and your annual membership is paid and in good standing, you can redeem your pre-purchased fuel at your then current MyGallons Price on the MyGallons Network by utilizing the “cash in” process on the MyGallons Network. If you navigate to the “cash in” page and follow the directions to submit the cash in form, MyGallons will process your request and transfer funds via ACH directly into the checking account registered to your Personal Account within 10 days of your request or as soon as the funds used to pre-purchase the redeemed fuel have been received and confirmed by MyGallons. The amount of cash transferred will equal the number of gallons cashed in multiplied by your then current MyGallons Price on the MyGallons Network (less any applicable fees). NOTE THAT EACH TIME YOU SUBMIT A FORM TO CASH IN FUEL, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT THAT (I) YOU ARE NOT USING THE MYGALLONS SERVICES FOR ANY INVESTMENT OR SPECULATIVE PURPOSES; AND (II) SINCE THE DATE OF YOUR LAST CASH IN, YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PURCHASED AT LEAST AS MANY GALLONS AT THE PUMP AS YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO CASH IN AT THE TIME. MYGALLONS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT, AND YOU HEREBY AGREE TO SUBMIT TO MYGALLONS UPON REQUEST, RECEIPTS OF FUEL PURCHASES, CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS, OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION AS EVIDENCE OF YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PROVISION. YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CASH IN MORE THAN 150 GALLONS PER VEHICLE IN ANY 30-DAY PERIOD, AND THE NUMBER OF GALLONS YOU CASH IN AT ANY TIME MAY NOT EXCEED THE NUMBER OF GALLONS YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PURCHASED AT THE PUMP DURING THE 30-DAY PERIOD PRIOR TO THE CASH IN DATE. If you choose to participate in the MyGallons Fuel Card program and your annual membership is paid and in good standing, each time you order a MyGallons Fuel Card via the cash-in process you will receive a pre-paid debit card loaded with the proceeds from the transaction for use at participating stations. The proceeds loaded on the card are equal to the number of gallons cashed-in multiplied by the then current MyGallons price for your state minus applicable fees. Even if you choose to participate in the MyGallons Fuel Card program, there may be situations in which you decide to use the MyGallons Services at non-participating fuel stations. In these situations, you will be unable to use the MyGallons Fuel Card, and you will initially pay the non-participating fuel station for the fuel out of pocket. After you have paid for your fuel at the pump, you can follow the procedures described above for redeeming pre-purchased fuel without a MyGallons Fuel Card.
2.3 Modification or Cancellation of MyGallons Services. MyGallons reserves the right to limit, modify or discontinue the MyGallons Services at any time. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT MYGALLONS MAY CHANGE, AMEND AND RESCIND THE FEATURES, PRICING AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION, THE MYGALLONS SERVICES OR ANY MYGALLONS SERVICES PACKAGE AT ANY TIME BY POSTING NOTICE ON THE MYGALLONS NETWORK. If you are dissatisfied with any modification to the MyGallons Services, your sole remedy will be to terminate the MyGallons Services in the manner described in this Agreement.
2.4 Special Terms Relating to MyGallons Services-General.
2.4.1 Additional Benefits Provided by MyGallons. In connection with the MyGallons Services, MyGallons will: (a) assist you in the registration and renewal of the Subscription; (b) assist you in the purchase of the MyGallons Services; (c) provide answers to commonly asked questions you might have regarding the MyGallons Services and provide answers to questions submitted to MyGallons via the MyGallons Network; (d) provide information by sending E-mail to the E-mail address that you registered and have kept current with MyGallons; and (d) provide information regarding the MyGallons Services and your Personal Account (including, without limitation, price adjustments) on your Personal Account page on the MyGallons Network.

If you choose a person other than yourself as a contact for the MyGallons Services, (i) that person will be bound by the Terms Of Use (as later defined) and Privacy Statement in addition to yourself, (ii) that person will be bound by this Agreement in addition to yourself, and (iii) you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that person to this Agreement, Privacy Statement and the Terms of Use.
2.5 Other Terms Relating to MyGallons Services.
2.5.1 MyGallons Fuel Card. If you choose to participate in an available MyGallons Fuel Card program, a MyGallons Fuel Card will be sent to the mailing address you provide in your Personal Account. It may take up to 10 business days for you to receive the MyGallons Fuel Card. Upon receipt, you may be required to activate the MyGallons Fuel Card before you are able to use it. You agree that MyGallons reserves the right to charge you a fee to replace any MyGallons Fuel Card that has been lost or destroyed, or if you require additional MyGallons Fuel Cards. If you choose to participate in a MyGallons Fuel Card program but do not receive a MyGallons Fuel Card within 10 business days, contact MyGallons via the MyGallons Network. The MyGallons Fuel Card shall be used for the purchase of fuel at participating filling stations only. If you use the MyGallons Fuel Card for any other purchase (non-fuel), (i) your Personal Account may be terminated, and (ii) MyGallons may charge you a fee that will be either deducted from your Personal Account in gallons or charged directly to the credit card or checking account registered to your Personal Account.
2.5.2 Timing of Pre-purchases and Redemptions. When you pre-purchase any of the MyGallons Services there may be up to a 10 day delay for your funds to clear and become available for redemption, depending on your payment method. You acknowledge and agree that any attempted redemptions during the delay period after you have made a pre-purchase of the MyGallons Services may be rejected by MyGallons or create an overdraft on your account for which you will be charged an overdraft fee in accordance with this Agreement. When you redeem any of the MyGallons Services via the MyGallons Network, there may be up to a 10 day delay for your funds to clear and become available in your checking account.
2.5.3 Calculation of Redeemed Gallons. When you redeem gallons through a MyGallons Fuel Card transaction, MyGallons calculates the number of gallons to be deducted from your Personal Account by subtracting the gallons requested for the cash-in from your Personal Account balance. Fees are deducted from the cash-in request and the balance is loaded on the MyGallons Fuel Card.
2.5.4 Price Adjustments for Taxes. MyGallons may make price adjustments to your Personal Account to the extent there is any change in applicable federal, state, local, or other taxes in your home area. Price adjustments made by MyGallons pursuant to this Section or to Section 14 will generally be effected by increasing or decreasing, as applicable, the remaining balance, in gallons of fuel, in your Personal Account. However, MyGallons reserves the right to make such adjustment by charging your credit card or checking account for the value of the adjustment in dollars. All such price adjustments will be reflected on your Personal Account page on the MyGallons Network. You have up to, but no more than, 90 days from the date of any adjustment made by MyGallons to your Personal Account to dispute such adjustment via the MyGallons Network, time being strictly of the essence.
2.5.5 MyGallons Fuel Card Participating Stations. MyGallons Fuel Cards may only work at participating service fuel stations accepting the payment network displayed on the card such as VISA, MasterCard, Discover, etc. You may be required to present the card to the attendant at participating stations and may not be able to “swipe” your card at the pump due to restrictions imposed by the payment network.
2.5.6 Your Subscription for the MyGallons Services may be used only by you and members of your household who are registered users and agree to the Terms of Use, Privacy Statement and to the terms and conditions this Agreement. Use of the MyGallons Services by any other person(s) or misuse of the MyGallons Services may result in immediate termination of this Agreement by MyGallons and forfeiture of any balance remaining in your Personal Account in the sole discretion of MyGallons.
2.5.7. Changing your address. Since the price of fuel varies by state (primarily due to taxes), if you change the state of your home address registered to your Personal Account, MyGallons will automatically adjust the gallon balance in your Personal Account to reflect the difference in MyGallons Price between the state you are changing from and the state you are changing to. This adjustment may result in an increase or a decrease in the gallon balance in your Personal Account, and will be accomplished by multiplying your gallon balance by the MyGallons Price in the state you are changing from, then dividing the total by the MyGallons Price in the state you are changing to, with both of those MyGallons prices as they are in effect at the time of the address change. You will not be charged any fee for this adjustment, but the adjustment may take up to 5 business days to be effected, so you will need to monitor your balance closely during that period to avoid potential overdrafts.
3.1 You agree to pay for the MyGallons Services on time and in full.
3.2 You agree that the credit card information or checking account information you provide is valid, unexpired and corresponds to an account that you are authorized to use. You authorize MyGallons to charge the credit card and/or checking account registered to your Personal Account in order to collect payment for the Subscription and MyGallons Services and for any fees as described herein or on the MyGallons Network, including, without limitation, annual membership fees, fuel pre-purchase amounts, price adjustments, overdraft fees, processing fees, transaction fees, MyGallons Fuel Card replacement fees, credit card being cancelled, over the limit or dishonored fees and shipping and handling fees. Alternatively, MyGallons may collect payment for any of the foregoing by debiting a number of gallons from your Personal Account equal to the dollar value of the amount owed, with gallons valued at the MyGallons Price at the time of such debit. Foreign credit cards are not accepted. MyGallons reserves the right to charge you a convenience fee for the use of your credit card when purchasing the MyGallons Services. You agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for any and all charges and fees from your cell phone provider(s) for the use by you of any text messaging services which may become available and that you so elect to utilize in connection with the MyGallons Services.
3.3 You are responsible for payment of all taxes and duties relating to the MyGallons Services you have purchased, including, without limitation, all sales, use, transfer, privilege, and excise taxes and duties, whether national, international, state, or local, however designated. If you buy or sell or subscribe to any products or services through the MyGallons Network or in connection with the MyGallons Services, you shall be responsible for all taxes and duties associated with the purchase or sale of, or subscription to, such products or services, whether such taxes or duties be national, international, state, or local, however designated and you shall be subject to and responsible to pay any increases to taxes.
3.4 If any payment is overdue or unaccepted for insufficient funds, you will cease to have the privileges reserved for paying users of the MyGallons Services for which you have registered and subscribed (although you will continue to be bound by your obligations under this Agreement), including, without limitation, the right to use the MyGallons Services for further redemptions. If you participate in the MyGallons Fuel Card program, you agree that your MyGallons Fuel Card will not function for future fuel redemptions until you have replenished and paid for the MyGallons Services. In this case, MyGallons reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and charge you fees as described herein or on the MyGallons Network.

13. Governing Law and Forum for Disputes.
All legal issues arising from or related to the use or misuse of the MyGallons Services shall be construed in accordance with, and all questions with respect thereto shall be determined by, the laws of the State of Florida applicable to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within said state and you hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in any state or federal court in Florida in connection with any controversy or claim arising or relating to this Agreement or your use or misuse of the MyGallons Services. Any dispute by you with respect to the MyGallons Services as provided by MyGallons by shall be submitted to binding arbitration. The same shall be settled by arbitration in the State of Florida, before three disinterested arbitrators in accordance with the procedural rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitrators shall be appointed as follows: The party desiring arbitration shall appoint an arbitrator by written notice to the second party. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the second party of such notice, the second party shall appoint an arbitrator by written notice to the first party. Should the second party not appoint an arbitrator, the matter shall be arbitrated by the arbitrator appointed by the first party, and the cost of such arbitrator shall be shared equally by you and MyGallons. Should the second party appoint an arbitrator, the two (2) appointed arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the two (2) arbitrators cannot agree upon a third arbitrator within said time, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the presiding judge of the highest level state trial court located in the State of Florida. The three (3) arbitrators so appointed shall forthwith proceed to arbitrate the dispute. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, but the powers of the arbitrators are hereby expressly limited to the determination of factual issues, and the arbitrators shall have no power to reform, supplement or modify this Agreement. The arbitrators shall make only required findings of fact incident to an arbitrable dispute, which findings shall be set forth in reasonable detail in a written decision by the arbitrators. You and MyGallons shall each bear the cost of the arbitrator appointed by it, and share equally in the cost the third arbitrator and of any other costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each shall separately pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MYGALLONS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using MyGallons Services you consent to these restrictions.
Should a dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and MyGallons, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Miami Dade County, Florida.
