Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Openbucks Corp. (“Openbucks”, “we”, or “us”). We are pleased to offer you, the user (“you”), access to the Openbucks service as described in Section I below (collectively, the “Openbucks Service”) on the following terms. Please read this agreement carefully, as it constitutes a binding legal agreement between you and Openbucks. By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Openbucks Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms in, and linked to, these terms of use and any future modifications (collectively, the “Terms of Use”). Your right to access and use the Openbucks Service is conditioned on your compliance with these Terms of Use.

We strongly recommend that, as you read these Terms of Use, you also access and read the linked information. By accepting these Terms of Use, you accept that these Terms of Use will apply whenever you use the Openbucks Service.

I. Description of Openbucks Service

The Openbucks Service is comprised of the Retailer Gift Card redemption service described in more detail below:

The Retailer Gift Card redemption service enables you to use retail plastic gift cards (each, a “Retailer Gift Card”) that you purchased from participating gift card issuing retailers (“Retailers”) to purchase prepaid access to goods and services from certain online merchants in the Openbucks network (“Openbucks Merchants”), and to redeem this prepaid access for goods and services sold by the corresponding Openbucks Merchant.
Only the following Retailer Gift Cards are accepted on the Openbucks Service:
- (i) Plastic CVS Pharmacy gift cards purchased at a physical CVS Pharmacy location;
- (ii) Plastic Dollar General gift cards purchased at a physical Dollar General location; and
- (iii) Plastic Circle K gift cards purchased at a physical Circle K location in the United States.
By entering your Retailer Gift Card information and clicking “Pay” within the Retailer mini-digital store powered by the Openbucks Service, you will be able to redeem your Retailer Gift Card at the issuing Retailer to purchase a prepaid access product that is redeemable at the Openbucks Merchant you have selected.
You authorize the issuing Retailer to redeem your Retailer Gift Card and debit the amount of your redemption from the balance of your Retailer Gift Card. You also authorize the Openbucks Merchant to process your redemption of the prepaid access product you purchased using your Retailer Gift Card to pay for the goods and services you have selected from the Openbucks Merchant.

Please note: The Openbucks Service does not accept all prepaid cards. Here are a few examples of prepaid cards that are NOT accepted by the Openbucks Service:

Any form of digital prepaid cards (a.k.a. e-gift cards) (including CVS, Dollar General and Circle K gift cards purchased online).
Prepaid cards purchased online, even from an authorized distributor.
Prepaid cards purchased from a secondary marketplace.
Prepaid cards purchased or traded on a peer-to-peer platform.

XIX. Governing Law, Arbitration of Disputes and Waiver of Class Claims

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION XIX (THE “ARBITRATION PROVISION”) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND US (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED BELOW) TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH EACH PARTY CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.

Definitions. As used in this Arbitration Provision, the terms “we,” or “us” shall for all purposes include us, our parents, wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns and all of their respective agents, employees, directors, and representatives. In addition, “we,” and “us” shall also encompass any third party using or providing any product, service, or benefit in connection with any Retailer Gift Card, in each case, in connection with a Claim (as defined below) asserted by you, if, and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with Openbucks or files a Claim with or against Openbucks. As solely used in this Arbitration Provision, the terms “you” or “yours” shall mean all persons or entities who have or use a Retailer Gift Card, including but not limited to all persons or entities contractually obligated under any of these Terms of Use.
Claims Shall Be Settled by Arbitration. These Terms of Use and any past, present and future claim or controversy arising out of or relating thereto, including any claim against us in connection with or relating to use of the Openbucks Services (each, a “Claim”), are governed by this Arbitration Provision.
Any Claim, including questions involving the scope, interpretation, or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) (available at www.adr.org/Rules), and will be arbitrated in Miami-Dade County, Florida, unless you elect to conduct proceedings telephonically or via other remote electronic means, or unless otherwise required under applicable AAA Rules. Each party will bear its own attorneys’, experts’ and witness fees. The AAA Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.
Collective Arbitration. Arbitration proceedings may not be consolidated with those of other Retailer Gift Card holders.Neither you nor we will have the right to participate as a member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Claim and each party expressly waives its right to assert or to participate as a part of any group, class, collective, mass, representative, or consolidated claim (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Third parties’ claims will not be joined in any arbitration between you and us.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Claim 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.
Federal Arbitration Act. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1-16 (“FAA”), notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms of Use. Except to the extent needed to enforce this Arbitration Provision or any arbitral award issued hereunder, the parties waive all rights to a court or jury trial to resolve any Claims.
OPT-OUT OF AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting legal.departmentNA@paysafe.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Use. You must indicate in the email heads: OPT OUT-OPENBUCKS SERVICE and must state that you (include your first and last name) decline this Arbitration Provision. By opting out of the agreement to arbitrate, you will not be precluded from using the Openbucks Services but neither you nor we will be permitted to invoke the mutual agreement to arbitrate to resolve Claims under the terms otherwise provided herein.
Survival. This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your use of the Openbucks Services as well as voluntary payment of any debt in full by you, any legal proceeding by us to collect a debt owed by you, and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any principle or provision of law or equity, consistent with the FAA, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision, these Terms of Use or any prior agreements you have had with us, each of which shall be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.
Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION (AS DEFINED ABOVE) OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE 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 CLAIM, ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION 7 ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION MAY BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT UPON EITHER PARTY’S ELECTION.

XXI. Survival

Sections X, XI and XIV-XX will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms of Use.
