Posting a Project

Localflux may provide you the opportunity to post your Project on Localflux to showcase and share certain information about the Project and elicit feedback and financial contributions from other Members. Your Project Posting is User Content (as defined below), and is subject to all the terms and conditions relating to User Content in this Agreement. It is a breach of this Agreement to post a false or misleading Project or to post false or misleading information in your Project Profile. Members who post Projects are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as "Content Creators."

Project Fundraising

Upon our review of your submission to post a Project, Localflux may provide you the opportunity to fundraise for your Project by soliciting financial contributions to support the Project from Members ("Contributions"). The rules governing fundraising for your Project (the "Fundraising Rules") are as follows:

1. The first step in launching a fundraising campaign using the Service is to create a project profile page and post a "Funding Request." To post a Funding Request, set your goal for the total Contributions you wish to raise during your current campaign ("Funding Goal") and the date by which you'd like to raise the funds ("Campaign Length") on your Project Profile page. The Funding Deadline can be between 1 and 90 days out. (Note, if you reach your funding goal, you can post a new project to launch a campaign to fund the next phase of your project. The number of projects you can create is unlimited.)

2. The Project creator will be designated the legal entity to which funds will be directed (the "Project Entity"). The Project Entity represents and warrants that they are authorized to bind the Project to the terms of this Agreement, and that they are the legal entity responsible for the Project and accountable for the use of any funds raised for it on Localflux, and that they accept this Agreement.

3. To receive Contributions, the Project Entity must establish an account (a "Funding Account") with the payment processor designated by Localflux at the time you post your Project (the "Processor"). You understand and agree that your Funding Account will be governed by your agreement with the Processor, and that Localflux shall have no liability for your Funding Account or your transactions or interactions with the Processor.

4. All Contributions made to a Project will be directed to the Project Entity's Funding Account, less a 7.5% marketplace processing fee retained by Localflux. All Contributions paid to a Project Entity will constitute "Project Funding," and the Localflux fee and all other Project Funding requirements will apply. Localflux is not responsible for any error or omission in the Funding Account information you provide. Unless automated by the Processor, Project Funding less 3rd party processing fees will be disbursed from the Funding Account to the Project Entity's bank account according to the Project's disbursement details (set in the Funding section of the Project Profile). All necessary fund transfers will be initiated within 5 business days of the campaign end date. It can then take up to 5 business days for the disbursed funds to arrive in your account.

5. When you reach the end of your Campaign Length, your Funding Request will automatically close and no more Contributions will be accepted for your Project. You may make a new Funding Request any time after the end of your last Funding Request closes. If you reach your Funding Goal by the end of your Campaign Length, Localflux will pay you a 3.5% rebate on all funds raised during the campaign. Payments will be included in a funds transfer that will be initiated within 5 business days of the campaign end date. It can then take up to 5 business days for the disbursed funds to arrive in your account.

6. You may offer non-monetary rewards for Contributions ("Rewards"), provided that the offering of such Rewards is lawful under all applicable laws, including without limitation state and federal securities laws, and otherwise complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Any Project Funding payments may be subject to verification of the identity of the Project Entity, the use of funds, and the timeline of the project. The verification procedure may involve an interview and/or document review if deemed necessary and may vary from time to time in our sole discretion. You agree that Project Funding may only be used on behalf of the Project, and that Project Funding will not be used for any other purpose. You agree that if at any time during while a Funding Request is open or within thirty (30) days of the close of a Funding Request, Localflux makes a good faith determination that the identity of you or the Project Entity or the timeline of the Project are not as identified in the Project Posting, or that the Project Funding has not been used solely on behalf of the Project, you will promptly refund the entire amount of Project Funding from such Funding Request to the Contributors. We may change the Fundraising Rules at any time upon notice to you. If you do not accept a change we make to the Fundraising Rules, your sole remedy shall be to terminate your Project Posting.

You shall have full responsibility for applicable taxes for all Project Funding paid to you under this Agreement, and for compliance with all applicable labor and employment requirements with respect to your self-employment, sole proprietorship or other form of business organization, and with respect to your employees and contractors, including state worker's compensation insurance coverage requirements and any U.S. immigration visa requirements. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Localflux harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any claims or penalties with respect to such withholding taxes, labor or employment requirements, including any liability for, or assessment of, withholding taxes imposed on Localflux by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to any Project Funding paid to you.

Localflux makes no guarantee regarding the number or amount of Contributions, or the amount of any Project Funding payment to be made to you or the Project Entity under this Agreement.

Contributing to Projects

Localflux may provide you the opportunity to make Contributions to Project Postings on the Service. You may contribute to any Project with an open Funding Request in any amount you choose. You may contribute to as many Projects as you like.

It is solely your choice to contribute to a Project. You understand that making a Contribution to a Project does not give you any rights in or to that Project, including without limitation any ownership, control, or distribution rights, and that the Project Entity shall be free to solicit other funding for the Project, enter into contracts for the Project, allocate rights in or to the Project, and otherwise direct the Project in its sole discretion. You further understand that nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits Localflux's right to enter into agreements or business relationships relating to Projects. Localflux does not guarantee that any Project's Campaign Goal will be met. Any Perks offered to you are between you and the Project Entity only, and Localflux does not guarantee that Perks will be delivered or satisfactory to you. Localflux does not warrant the use of any Project Funding or the outcome of any Project.

Contributions to Projects are nonrefundable. Under certain circumstances Localflux may, but is under no obligation to, seek the refund of Project Funding if the Project Entity misrepresents the Project or misuses the funds. You acknowledge and agree that all your Contributions are between you, the Project Entity, and the Processor only, and that Localflux is not responsible for Contribution transactions, including without limitation any personal or payment information you provide to the Processor.

Localflux makes no representations regarding the deductibility of any Contribution for tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor for more information.

Dispute Resolution

A. Process. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve through negotiation any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement including the documents it incorporates by reference, your use of our Service, Your Information, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or your participation in Localflux Groups and Localflux Meetings (whether the dispute, claim or controversy is due to or arising out of your transportation to or from, attendance at, or the actions of you or other users at Localflux Meetings). In the event that the dispute, claim or controversy is not resolved by these negotiations, the matter will be submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (a.k.a. "JAMS"), or its successor, for mediation pursuant to Item C below (‘Mediation), and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to Item D below (‘Arbitration’). Nonetheless, legal action taken by Localflux to collect any fees and/or recover damages for, or obtain an injunction relating to, our website operations, intellectual property or our Service, shall not be submitted to mediation or arbitration except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Localflux. In addition, either you or Localflux may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a Court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York necessary to protect the rights or property of you or Localflux pending the completion of arbitration.

B. Negotiation. Either party may initiate negotiations by providing written notice in letterform to the other party, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The recipient of such notice will respond in writing within fifteen (15) business days with a statement of its position on and recommended solution to the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by this exchange of correspondence, then representatives of each party with full settlement authority will meet in person or otherwise at a mutually agreeable time and place within thirty (30) business days of the date of the initial notice in order to exchange relevant information and perspectives, and to attempt to resolve the dispute.

C. Mediation. Either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from JAMS' panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case.

D. Arbitration. The parties agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement that are not resolved by their mutual agreement by negotiation or mediation (as noted above) shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before JAMS, or its successor, pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sec. 1 et seq. Either party may commence the arbitration process called for in this Agreement by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS, with a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting an arbitrator from JAMS' panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs.

E. Enforcement. The Mediation and Arbitration provisions (as noted above) may be enforced by any Court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

F. Notice; Waiver. By agreeing to this Agreement you have, except as otherwise specified in Item A (‘Process) above, all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement decided by negotiation, neutral mediation and/or neutral arbitration as provided in this Dispute Resolution Section, and you are giving up any rights you might possess to have those matters litigated in a court or jury trial. Also, by agreeing to this Agreement you are giving up your judicial rights to discovery and appeal except to the extent that they are specifically provided for under this Agreement. If you refuse to submit to arbitration after agreeing to this provision, you may be compelled to arbitrate under federal or state law. Your agreement to this arbitration provision is voluntary.
