Terms
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Whop Inc. (“Whop,” “we,” or “us”) and our website at
www.whop.com, along with our related websites, hosted applications, mobile or other downloadable
applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service are a
legally binding contract between you and Whop regarding your use of the Service.
ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 17, you agree that
disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING
THESE TERMS, YOU AND WHOP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE
IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
1. Whop Service Overview. Whop operates the Service as a marketplace for digital goods and
services (the “Products”) where certain users (“Buyers”) can purchase the Products sold by
other users (“Sellers” or “Renters”). All Products are provided solely by the applicable Seller or
Renter and Whop is not responsible for the Products sold through the Service.
2. Eligibility. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you
represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 13 years old; (b) you have not previously
been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the
Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity,
organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and
warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by
these Terms.
3. Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the Service, you must register for an
account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some
information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information, or
to link certain outside accounts, such as a Google Drive account or a digital wallet (“Linked
Accounts”). You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not
misleading, and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. You further agree that
all Linked Accounts are your own and you have all necessary rights to link them to the Service.
When you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for
1
all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure,
then you should immediately notify us at [email protected].
4. General Payment Terms. Certain features of the Service, including the purchase or sale of
certain Products, may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an
opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are denominated in
the stated currency or other means of payment and are non-refundable unless otherwise
specifically provided for in these Terms.
4.1 Price. Whop reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service and any fees it may charge
on transactions conducted on the Service. Whop will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing
information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our pricing page
periodically for current pricing information. Whop may change the fees for any feature of the
Service, including additional fees or charges, if Whop gives you advance notice of changes
before they apply. Whop, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different
features and different pricing to any of Whop’s customers. These promotional offers, unless
made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
4.2 Authorization. You authorize Whop to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any
level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Whop, including all
applicable taxes, to the payment method specified by you. If you pay any fees with a credit card,
then Whop may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to
verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your
purchase.
(a) Sales, Use and Similar Taxes. In some instances Whop may have an obligation to add sales or
use tax to the purchase price of Products listed on the Whop marketplace. In such cases, Whop
will list the appropriate taxes, charge and collect them as part of the marketplace transaction
and either remit the taxes to the applicable taxing authority or transmit the collected taxes to
Sellers for Seller remittance and reporting to tax authorities.
(b) Withholding Taxes. In some instances Whop may be the Merchant of Record (MoR). As the
MoR, Whop may be obligated to withhold tax amounts from payments to Sellers or Renters.
Whop may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement to Sellers or Renters such
federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation. In instances where Whop is not the Merchant of Record, Whop
does not bear any legal obligation or responsibility to collect, report, and remit any such taxes
on behalf of a Seller or Renter under any circumstances.
4.4 Product Price. If you are a Seller or Renter, you may set or change the price for your Products at
your sole discretion. You agree to keep all pricing information for your Products up to date and
to abide by any of your listed prices for sold Products.
4.5 Amount Paid to Sellers. When one of your Products is sold, you will receive the net purchase
price in the form of your base currency, minus (i) any applicable payment processing fees and (ii)
a service and platform fee in the amount set forth on the pricing page, which is retained by
Whop.
2
4.6 Amount Paid to Renters. When one of your Products is rented, you will receive the net
purchase price in the form of Whop Credits (as described below), minus (i) any applicable taxes,
(ii) payment processor fees, (iii) bona fide refunds to Buyers, and (iv) a service and platform fee
in the amount set forth on the pricing page, which is retained by Whop.
4.7 Whop Credits. If you are a Renter, you will receive all amounts owed to you in the form of
“Whop Credits”. Whop Credits may be used to purchase Products, and other than with respect
to Dropped Whop Credits may be converted to the equivalent amount of U.S. Dollars and
withdrawn. At any time at our discretion, we may cash out your Whop Credits (other than
Dropped Whop Credits). Whop Credits are not transferrable. Whop may also from time to time
provide you with Whop Credits unrelated to the sale of a Product (“Dropped Whop Credits”).
Dropped Whop Credits have no cash redemption value and expire when your access to the
Service is terminated or earlier upon our notice to you. In addition to any other rights under
these Terms, Whop shall have the right to offset any amounts owed to Whop by you against the
Whop Credits in your account that are not Dropped Whop Credits.
4.8 Subscription Service. The Service may include certain subscription-based Products, or certain
aspects of the Service itself may result in automatically recurring payments for periodic charges
(“Subscription Products” and such charges, the “Subscription Fee”). The “Subscription Billing
Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Subscription Product. Your
access to the Subscription Product will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for
the subscription period specified when you make your purchase (such period, the “Initial
Subscription Period”). Some subscriptions may automatically renew for additional periods if
specified in the Subscription Product description (the Initial Subscription Period and each such
renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Product or the
Seller or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Product, then you authorize Whop or its
third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until
cancellation of the Subscription Product, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date.
Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on
the renewal date of your Subscription Product for all applicable fees and taxes for the next
Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription Product before it renews unless
otherwise specified in the Subscription Product’s description in order to avoid billing of the next
periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Whop or its third-party payment processor will bill
the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you
otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Product by following the cancellation
steps described in the product description or by contacting us at [email protected]. YOUR
CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE
FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
4.9 Delinquent Accounts. Whop may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee
based portions of the Service, or any Product, for any account for which any amount is due but
unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with
fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any the unpaid amount,
including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal
Subscription Fee is due, then Whop reserves the right to delete your account and any
information or User Content (defined below) associated with your account without any liability
to you.

nonsublicensable, revocable license to: (a) install and use one object code copy of any mobile or
other downloadable application associated with the Service (whether installed by you or
preinstalled on your mobile device by the device manufacturer or a wireless telephone provider)
on a mobile device that you own or control; and (b) access and use the Service. The foregoing

applicable law, you may not: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
create derivative works of the Service; (b) make modifications to the Service; or (c) interfere
with or circumvent any feature of the Service, including any security or access control
mechanism. If you are prohibited under applicable law from using the Service, then you may not
use it.
5.3 Feedback. We respect and appreciate the thoughts and comments from our users. If you choose
to provide input and suggestions regarding existing functionalities, problems with or proposed
modifications or improvements to the Service (“Feedback”), then you hereby grant Whop an
unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free right and license to
exploit the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, including to improve the Service and
create other products and services. We will have no obligation to provide you with attribution
for any Feedback you provide to us.
6. Ownership; Proprietary Rights. The Service is owned and operated by Whop. The visual
interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source
code or object code), software, services, and all other elements of the Service, but excluding any
Products, provided by Whop (“Materials”) are protected by intellectual property and other laws.
All Materials included in the Service are the property of Whop or its third-party licensors. Except
as expressly authorized by Whop, you may not make use of the Materials. There are no implied
licenses in these Terms and Whop reserves all rights to the Materials not granted expressly in
these Terms.
7. Third-Party Terms
7.1 Third-Party Services and Linked Websites. Whop may provide tools through the Service that
enable you to export information, including User Content, to third-party services, including
through features that allow you to link your account on the Service with an account on the third-
party service, such as Twitter or Facebook, or through our implementation of third-party
buttons (such as “like” or “share” buttons). By using one of these tools, you hereby authorize
that Whop to transfer that information to the applicable third-party service. Third-party services
are not under Whop’s control, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Whop is not
responsible for any third-party service’s use of your exported information. The Service may also
contain links to third-party websites. Linked websites are not under Whop’s control, and Whop
is not responsible for their content. Further, Whop will not provide exports of third-party data
(i.e. Stripe Express accounts) because the option to link to owned data that is readily accessible
4
is already available. Please be sure to review the terms of use and privacy policy of any third-
party services before you share any User Content or information with such thirdparty services.
Once sharing occurs, Whop will have no control over the information that has been shared.
7.2 Third-Party Software. The Service may include or incorporate third-party software components
that are generally available free of charge under licenses granting recipients broad rights to
copy, modify, and distribute those components (“Third-Party Components”). Although the
Service is provided to you subject to these Terms, nothing in these Terms prevents, restricts, or
is intended to prevent or restrict you from obtaining Third-Party Components under the
applicable third-party licenses or to limit your use of Third-Party Components under those
thirdparty licenses.
8. User Content
8.1 User Content Generally. Certain features of the Service may permit users to submit, upload,
publish, broadcast, or otherwise transmit (“Post”) content to the Service, including Product
images, descriptions, and any other works of authorship or other works (“User Content”). You
retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you
Post to the Service, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.
8.2 Limited License Grant to Whop. By Posting User Content to or via the Service, you grant Whop a
worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense
through multiple tiers) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by
means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the
purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works as authorized in these Terms, and
distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media
channels, in each instance whether now known or hereafter developed. You agree to pay all
monies owing to any person or entity resulting from Posting your User Content and from
Whop’s exercise of the license set forth in this Section.
8.3 You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post; User Content Representations and Warranties.
You must not Post User Content if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant
rights in all of the elements of that User Content. Whop disclaims any and all liability in
connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the
consequences of providing User Content via the Service. By providing User Content via the
Service, you affirm, represent, and warrant to us that:
(a) you are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses,
rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Whop and users of the Service to use and
distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this
Section, in the manner contemplated by Whop, the Service, and these Terms;
(b) your User Content, and the Posting or other use of your User Content as contemplated
by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, misappropriate, or otherwise
breach any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret,
moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property, contract,
or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or
other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Whop to violate any law or
5
regulation or require us to obtain any further licenses from or pay any royalties, fees,
compensation or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; and
(c) your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable,
profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or
otherwise inappropriate.
8.4 User Content Disclaimer. We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content
that you or other users Post and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User
Content. Whop may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove,
edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms, is alleged
to violate the rights of third parties, or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that,
when using the Service, you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources
and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or
objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy
you have or may have against Whop with respect to User Content. If notified by a user
or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may
investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the
User Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For
clarity, Whop does not permit infringing activities on the Service.
8.5 Monitoring Content. Whop does not control and does not have any obligation to
monitor: (a) User Content; (b) any content made available by third parties; or (c) the use
of the Service by its users. You acknowledge and agree that Whop reserves the right to,

any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of content. During monitoring,
information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with our
Privacy Policy (defined below). Whop may block, filter, mute, remove or disable access
to any User Content uploaded to or transmitted through the Service without any liability
to the user who Posted such User Content to the Service or to any other users of the
Service.

11.3 Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you believe that any content made available
on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual
property right you own or control, then please promptly send a written “Notification of Claimed
Infringement” to the Designated Agent identified above containing the following information:
(a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the
owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;
(b) a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property right that you claim
has been infringed;
(c) a description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the
Service;
(e) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the
Service of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright or other
intellectual property right owner, its agent, or the law; and
(f) a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that,
under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or other intellectual property right
owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by Whop with the user alleged
to have infringed a right you own or control as well as with the operators of publicly
available databases that track notifications of claimed infringement, and you consent to
Whop making such disclosures. You should consult with your own lawyer or see 17
U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed
infringement.
11.4 Repeat Infringers. Whop’s policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that
Whop believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or
authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being
made available through the Service; and (b) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate
the accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or
egregiously infringes other people’s copyright or other intellectual property rights.
Whop will terminate the accounts of users that are determined by Whop to be repeat
infringers. Whop reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate accounts of users
in our sole discretion.
11.5 Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from Whop that material made
available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of
Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide Whop with what is called
a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing,
8
provided to Whop’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section
11.2, and include substantially the following information:
(b) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been
disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or
access to it was disabled;
(c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material
was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be
removed or disabled; and
(d) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the
jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is
located, or if you are residing outside of the United States, then for any judicial district
in which Whop may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the
person who provided notification under Section 11.2 above or an agent of that person.
A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to
confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.
11.6 Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to
Whop in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then Whop will promptly provide
the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter
Notification and inform that person that Whop will replace the removed User Content or cease
disabling access to it in 10 business days, and Whop will replace the removed User Content and
cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of
the Counter Notification, unless Whop’s Designated Agent receives notice from the party that
submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking
a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on
Whop’s system or network.
11.7 False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act
provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that: “[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under
[Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or
(2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be
liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by
any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is
injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [Whop] relying upon such misrepresentation
in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing
the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.” Whop reserves the right to seek
damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter
Notification in violation of the law.
12. Modification of Terms. We may, from time to time, change these Terms. Please check these
Terms periodically for changes. Revisions will be effective immediately except that, for existing

use the Service. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, then you should remove your User

12, these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized

the Service, including any paid-for functionalities of the Service, or any suspension or

cooperate with our defense of those claims.

16.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE WHOP ENTITIES BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
(INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS)
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS
OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON
11
WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY WHOP ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF DAMAGE.
16.2 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 17.5 AND 17.6 AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE WHOP ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR
OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED
TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO WHOP FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF
THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE
CLAIM AND (B) US$100.
16.3 EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY,
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES
ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE
PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS.
THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
17.1 Generally. Except as described in Section 17.2 and 17.3, you and Whop agree that every dispute
arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved
through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less
formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is
subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims
whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and
regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute
relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration
agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WHOP ARE EACH
WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
17.2 Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these
Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring
an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the
applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a
court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual
property infringement claim.
17.3 Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the
provisions of this Section 17 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by
sending a letter to Whop Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 10 Grand St. –
Ste. 13A, Brooklyn, NY 11249 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated
with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-
12
Out Notice”). Once Whop receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 17 will be void and any
action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 18.2. The remaining
provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
17.4 Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal
Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under
its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA
Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-
7787879, or by contacting Whop.
17.5 Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of
the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required)
or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail
(“Notice of Arbitration”). Whop’s address for Notice is: Whop Inc., 10 Grand St. – Ste. 13A,
Brooklyn, NY 11249. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of
the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set
forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve
the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the
Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Whop may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you
commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Whop will reimburse you for your
payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has
received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will
be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the
relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the
standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be
governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to
AAA.
17.6 Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your
[residence/billing address] unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less
(and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:
(a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or
video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or
parish) of your [residence/billing address]. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement
offer made by you or Whop must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator
makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is
conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the
essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
17.7 Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 17.8, the arbitrator can award any relief that
would be available if the claims had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the
arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by
Whop before an arbitrator was selected, Whop will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount
awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding
on all parties , except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's
award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have
the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that
13
shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
17.8 No Class Actions. YOU AND Whop AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER
ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN
ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Whop
agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may
not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
17.9 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Whop makes any substantive change to this
arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of
the change to Whop’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Whop
will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to
the changes you rejected will survive.
17.10 Enforceability. If Section 17.8 or the entirety of this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable, or if
Whop receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 17 will be null and
void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18.2 will govern
any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
18. Miscellaneous

and effect.
