1. Acceptance of this Agreement
CITRUS provides an online marketplace connection, using web-based technology, that

CITRUS does not itself prepare food, offer delivery services, offer pickup services and has no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of any Merchant or delivery agent. CITRUS is not the retailer of any products and/or services offered by Merchants, nor is it in the delivery business or a common carrier. CITRUS is not a “merchant of record” in any transaction between you and a Merchant, for any purpose. CITRUS provides a technology platform facilitating the delivery of orders by Merchants to Users. CITRUS will not assess or guarantee the suitability, legality or ability of any Merchant. CITRUS is not responsible for the Merchants’ food preparation or the safety of the food, and does not verify Merchants’ compliance with applicable laws or regulations. CITRUS has no responsibility or liability for acts or omissions by any Merchant. Title to the goods and/or services passes from the Merchant to you at the delivery location, and that the Merchant or delivery agent will be directed by your instructions to transport the products and/or services to your designated delivery location. CITRUS does not hold title to or acquires any ownership interest in any goods and/or services that you order through the Services.
6. CITRUS Accounts
You may be required to register for an account to use parts of the Services. CITRUS accounts may include Customer accounts and Merchant accounts. You will provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and at all other times when you use the Services, and to update the information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You shall monitor your account to prevent use by minors, and you will accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of your password or your account. In the case you are a Merchant, you may authorize or associate other accounts with your Merchant account. In the case you are a Merchant, you may assign or transfer your Merchant account to other authorized persons or entities. Should you suspect that any unauthorized party may be using your password or account, you will notify CITRUS immediately. CITRUS will not be liable and you may be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses, and fees incurred by CITRUS or a third party arising from someone else using your account, regardless of whether you have notified us of such unauthorized use. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or CITRUS has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, CITRUS has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof). You will not create an account or use the Services if you have been previously removed by CITRUS, or if you have been previously banned from use of the Services.
7. User Content
(a) User Content. CITRUS may provide you with interactive opportunities through the
Services, including, by way of example, the ability to post User ratings and reviews
(collectively, “User Content”). You represent and warrant that you are the owner of, or
otherwise have the right to provide, all User Content that you submit, post and/or
otherwise transmit through the Services. You hereby grant CITRUS a perpetual,
irrevocable, transferable, fully paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, right and
license to use, copy, display, publish, modify, remove, publicly perform, translate,
create derivative works, distribute and/or otherwise use the User Content, and to
sublicense any of the foregoing rights to others, in connection with CITRUS’s business
and in all forms now known or hereafter invented (“Uses”), without notification to
and/or approval by you. You further grant CITRUS a license to use your username and/or
other User profile information, including without limitation your ratings history, to
attribute User Content to you in connection with such Uses, without notification or
approval by you. This license includes the right for other Users to access and use your
User Content in conjunction with participation in the Services and as permitted through
the functionality of the Services. In the interest of clarity, the license granted to
CITRUS herein shall survive termination of the Services or your account. CITRUS reserves
the right in its sole discretion to remove or disable access to any User Content from
the Services, suspend or terminate your account at any time, or pursue any other remedy
or relief available under equity or law if you post any User Content that violates this
Agreement or we consider to be objectionable for any reason. CITRUS may monitor and/or
delete your User Content (but does not assume the obligation) for any reason in CITRUS’s
sole discretion. CITRUS may also access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as
CITRUS reasonably believes is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation,
legal process, or governmental request, (ii) enforce this Agreement, including
investigation of potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise
address fraud, security, or technical issues, (iv) respond to User support requests, or
(v) protect the rights, property or safety of CITRUS, its users and the public.

obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent and warrant
that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback and you hereby grant to CITRUS
a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, fully paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
worldwide, right and license to use, copy, display, publish, modify, remove, publicly
perform, translate, create derivative works, distribute and/or otherwise use such
Feedback, and to sublicense any of the foregoing rights to others.
(c) Ratings and Reviews. To the extent that you are asked to rate and post reviews of
Merchants or other businesses (“Ratings” and “Reviews”), such Ratings and Reviews are
considered User Content and are governed by this Agreement. Ratings and Reviews are not
endorsed by CITRUS and do not represent the views of CITRUS or its affiliates. CITRUS
shall have no liability for Ratings and Reviews or for any claims for economic loss
resulting from such Ratings and Reviews. Because we strive to maintain a high level of
integrity with respect to Ratings and Reviews posted or otherwise made available through
the Services, you agree that: (i) you will base any Rating or Review on first-hand
experience with the Merchant or business; (ii) you will not provide a Rating or Review
for any Merchant or business for which you have an ownership interest, employment
relationship or other affiliation or for any of that company’s competitors; (iii) you
will not submit a Rating or Review in exchange for payment, free food items, or other
benefits from a Merchant or business; and (iv) your review will comply with the terms of
this Agreement. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that any Rating or Review could
diminish the integrity of the Ratings and Reviews or otherwise violates this Agreement,
we may remove such User Content without notice.

CITRUS name, CITRUS logo, and the product names associated with the Software and Services are trademarks of CITRUS or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them. You agree that you will not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Software or the Services.
10. Payment Terms
(a) Prices. CITRUS may charge a subscription fee to merchants in exchange for listing
merchants on our Service and providing the Services to merchants. If you are a Merchant,
you understand that CITRUS reserves the right to change such subscription fees at any
time, at its discretion. If you are a Merchant, you understand that you are liable for
all transaction taxes on the Services provided under this Agreement (other than taxes

violation of the applicable promotion terms or this Agreement. CITRUS reserves the right
to modify or cancel an offer at any time.
(d) Fees for Services. CITRUS may change the fees for our Services as we deem necessary
or appropriate for our business, including but not limited to Delivery Fees, Service

11. Dispute Resolution.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES
WITH THE COMPANY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 11
OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
(a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any
way to your access or use of the Services as a consumer of our Services, to any
advertising or marketing communications regarding the Company or the Services, to any
products or services sold or distributed through the Services that you received as a
consumer of our Services, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with
Company as a consumer of our Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather
than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your
claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an
individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or the Company may seek
equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property
rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and
patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that
arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH THE COMPANY, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL
NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS,
COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY
BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF
SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
(b) Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act in all respects. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a
letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, 101
Hudson Street, Unit 3705, Jersey City, NJ 07302. The arbitration will be conducted by
JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Disputes involving
claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest,
shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and
procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other
claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration
Rules and Procedures, available at
http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available
at www.jamsadr.com (under the Rules/Clauses tab) or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by JAMS’s
rules. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing,
administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from JAMS,
the Company will pay them for you. In addition, the Company will reimburse all such
JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims with an amount in
controversy totaling less than $10,000. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the
parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the
arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or
in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
(c) Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or
agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement
including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration
Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities,
if any, of you and the Company. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with
any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will
have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute.
The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any
non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the
arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The
arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings
and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based,
including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the
applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual
basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and
binding on you and the Company.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY
RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and the Company are
instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as
specified in section 12(a) below. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court
review of an arbitration award is limited.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS,
COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS
BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED
JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this
waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect
to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor the Company is entitled to arbitration
of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in
a court as set forth in Section 20.
(f) Opt Out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you
nor the Company can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt
out, you must notify the Company in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming
subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address,
your CITRUS username (if any), the email address you used to set up your CITRUS account
(if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration
Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this
Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no
effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may
enter into in the future with us. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN,
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THE TERMS OF ANY SEPARATE
AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY RELATING TO YOUR WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE OR
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
AGREEMENT GOVERNING YOUR SERVICES AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF
DOUBT, IF YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OPTING-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET
FORTH IN THIS SECTION 12 HAS NO AFFECT ON YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES COVERED
BY YOUR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY.
(g) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your
relationship with the Company.
(h) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we
agree that if the Company makes any future material change to this Arbitration
Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided
notice of to the Company.
12. Third-Party Interactions.
(a) Third-Party Websites, Applications and Advertisements. The Services may contain
links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”) and applications (“Third-Party
Applications”) and advertisements (“Third-Party Advertisements”) (collectively,
“Third-Party Websites & Advertisements”). When you click on a link to a Third-Party
Website, Third-Party Application or Third-Party Advertisement, CITRUS will not warn you
that you have left CITRUS’s Services and will not warn you that you are subject to the
terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination.
Such Third-Party Websites & Advertisements are not under the control of CITRUS. CITRUS
is not responsible for any Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications or any
Third-Party Advertisements. CITRUS does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant,
or make any representations with respect to such Third-Party Websites & Advertisements,
or their products or services. You use all links in Third-Party Websites &
Advertisements at your own risk. You should review applicable terms and policies,
including privacy and data gathering practices of any Third-Party Websites or
Third-Party Applications, and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or
appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
(b) App Stores. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Application is
dependent on the third party from which you received the Application license, e.g., the
Apple iPhone or Android app stores (“App Store”). You acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement is between you and CITRUS and not with the App Store. CITRUS, not the App
Store, is solely responsible for the Software and the Services, including the
Application and the Services, the content thereof, maintenance, support services and
warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability,
legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the
Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees
associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App
Store in connection with the Application or the Services. You agree to comply with, and
your license to use the Application is conditioned upon your compliance with, all
applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g., the App Store’s terms and policies)
when using the Application. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a
country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the
U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and you represent and warrant that
you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You
acknowledge and agree that each App Store (and its affiliates) is an intended
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and has the right to enforce the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
13. Transactions Involving Alcohol
You may have the option to request delivery and/or pickup of alcohol products in some locations and from certain Merchants. If you receive your delivery and/or pickup in the United States, you agree that you will only order alcohol products if you are 21 years of age or older. If you receive your delivery and/or pickup in another country, you agree that you will only order alcohol products if you are of legal age to purchase alcohol products in the relevant jurisdiction. You also agree that, upon delivery and/or pickup of alcohol products, you will provide valid government-issued identification proving your age to the Merchant delivering the alcohol products and that the recipient will not be intoxicated when receiving delivery of such products. The Merchant reserves the right to refuse delivery if you are not 21 years of older, if you cannot provide a valid government issued ID, if the name on your ID does not match the name on your order, or you are visibly intoxicated. CITRUS will not be held liable for any unlawful deliveries and/or pickups of alcohol products.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CITRUS and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any losses, claims, actions, costs, damages, penalties, fines and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, that may be incurred by an Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) your User Content; (b) your misuse of the Software or Services; (c) your breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations through or related to the use of the Software or Services. In the event of any claim, allegation, suit or proceeding alleging any matter potentially covered by the agreements in this section, you agree to pay for the defense of the Indemnified Party, including reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party. CITRUS reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with CITRUS in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party, or for such party’s negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Software or Services. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your account, this Agreement, or your access to the Software and/or Services.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties

REVENUE, USE AND ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE). THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER OF PUNITIVE AND EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES, AND THE ENTIRE DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR
