This Platform Agreement is a legal agreement between Company and Brex and governs your use of the Services. In this Platform Agreement, “Company” or “you” means the company that is applying for or has opened a Brex Account to use the Services, and “Brex” or “we” means Brex Inc. and its past, present, or future affiliates, successors and assigns, unless stated otherwise. References to “Platform Agreement” mean this document that you’re reading and any terms, agreements, and policies incorporated by reference, including but not limited to User Terms, Rewards Terms, and any Service-Specific Terms that are applicable to the Services you use.  You may only apply for and maintain a Brex Account and use the Services if you agree to this Platform Agreement, so read it carefully. Definitions for capitalized terms (like “Brex Account” and “Services”) are included below in Section 4.

The terms and conditions of this Platform Agreement are binding as of the date you agree to its terms. In exchange for opening a Brex Account and gaining access to the Services, you are consenting to receive all Notices and communications electronically. This Platform Agreement governs your relationship with Brex and your use of the Services, unless stated otherwise.  Your access to particular Services may also be subject to Service-Specific Terms.

Section 3 of this Platform Agreement includes an agreement to resolve any Disputes through binding arbitration on an individual basis and includes a waiver of any representative, consolidated, or class actions, along with important disclaimers and limitations of liability.

1. Opening a Brex Account

1.1 Eligibility

Only companies organized and registered in the United States (such as C-corps, S-corps, LLCs, or LLPs) may apply for a Brex Account and use the Services. Individual consumers, sole proprietors, unincorporated partnerships, and companies organized and/or registered outside the United States, are not permitted to use or attempt to open or use a Brex Account or the Services. Company must be duly organized and remain in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization at all times.

Company’s Brex Account is commercial in nature, and you acknowledge and understand that certain consumer protection laws (including the Electronic Funds Transfer Act or Regulation E) and consumer-specific rules (including NACHA rules specific to consumers) do not apply to your use of the Services and transactions you may conduct using your Brex Account.

1.2 Requirements

By submitting an application for a Brex Account, the Natural Person Applicant represents and warrants in an individual capacity and as an authorized representative of Company that:

• Company is a business entity that is organized, registered, and located in the United States
• Company has a valid U.S. Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• Company is validly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization
• Company is not engaged in any Prohibited Activities
• The Natural Person Applicant is authorized to provide information about Company, submit the application on behalf of Company, enter into binding agreements on behalf of Company, authorize debits from Linked Accounts, and manage Company’s Brex Account
• The Natural Person Applicant is not and is not affiliated with a Prohibited Person

Required Information

You must provide Company Data to apply for and maintain a Brex Account and to access the Services. Company Data may include registered business name, business address, ownership details, contact information including email and phone number, tax identification number, the nature of the business, financial information, details for your Linked Accounts and External Accounts, and other business or personal information that we may require or request from time to time.

You may also be asked to provide certain Personal Data including the names, contact information, personal addresses, social security numbers, and dates of birth of Administrators, Users, Beneficial Owners, and Control Persons. We may also require that you provide certain documentary information used to verify Company Data and Personal Data such as organizational documents and certificates of registration, proof of address, or personal identification.

You will keep Company Data and each User’s Personal Data current, complete, and accurate in your Brex Account at all times. We may require additional information from you at any time, including Company Data and Personal Data to assess Company’s financial condition and business risks, for verification purposes, or for other legitimate business purposes.

You must connect at least one Linked Account to your Brex Account.  All Linked Accounts must be business accounts rather than consumer accounts.  You authorize us to verify that the account details you provide for your Linked Accounts and External Accounts are correct, the Linked Accounts belong to you, and proper authorization is received for any External Accounts.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. federal law requires that financial institutions obtain, verify, and record Company Data and Personal Data identifying companies and their Beneficial Owners and Control Persons. You agree to provide the required information to open and maintain your Brex Account and agree to keep such information current.  We may share this information with Program Partners and Third-Party Service Providers for these purposes, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

Verification and validation of information

Brex, its Service Partners, and Third-Party Service Providers rely on the accuracy of the information you provide when opening and maintaining your Brex Account. You may be required to verify information previously provided or provide additional information in the course of applying for or receiving certain Services.

You acknowledge that you have obtained or will obtain appropriate consent and authorization of any person whose Personal Data you provide before sharing such data with Brex.

You acknowledge and agree that we may use and provide Company Data and Personal Data to Program Partners and Third-Party Service Providers to validate the information you have provided and determine your eligibility for the Services, as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may approve or deny your application for a Brex Account or a particular Service or grant you or anyone seeking to access your account with your authorization provisional, limited access while your application is pending additional review. We may deny your application, interrupt provision of the Services or access to you, any Entity or any User, or suspend or close your Brex Account where, in our sole determination, the information you provided is incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date.

Consent to Electronic Signature and Communications

You agree that submitting your application for a Brex Account and indicating your agreement to the terms of this Platform Agreement electronically during the application process constitutes your electronic signature to this Platform Agreement. You also agree that your electronic consent has and will have the same legal effect as a physical signature.

Brex may limit Company’s or other authorized parties’ use of or access to certain Services or require that you provide additional information to open or maintain your Brex Account where Company or an Entity is engaged in Restricted Activities, as determined in Brex’s sole discretion.

We may update the lists of Prohibited Activities or Restricted Activities at any time. You agree to review these lists regularly and contact us with any questions you have about how these lists may apply to Company's or an Entity’s business.

2.1 Authorized Users

Administrators

You must specify at least one Administrator to manage your Brex Account when submitting your application.  If you do not specify an Administrator, you agree that the Natural Person Applicant will be the Administrator for your Brex Account. Administrators must have, and Company represents that any individual designated as an Administrator has, the requisite power and authority to conduct business and manage Company’s Brex Account, including by authorizing debits from Linked Accounts. In the event that an individual designated as an Administrator no longer has such requisite power and authority, Company must notify us promptly and designate another Administrator for the Brex Account.

Administrators may take a variety of actions, including: adding, removing, or managing additional Administrators and Users; applying for and accessing or removing Services or Third-Party Services, connecting and authorizing debits from current and new Linked Accounts and External Accounts; consenting to any new or updated terms or conditions contained in this Platform Agreement or other agreements, terms, or policies incorporated in this Platform Agreement; consenting to Service-Specific Terms or supplemental agreements; adding or removing additional Services to Company's account; and taking actions specified in any Service-Specific Terms and performing other tasks on Company’s and/or its authorized corporate affiliates’ behalf. Administrators must not authorize the use of Company’s Brex Account or the Services by any Prohibited Person.  More details about Administrator permissions are available on our website, and we may change these permissions from time to time by updating our website or otherwise providing you Notice.

Administrators must monitor Company’s Brex Account activity and statements as required by applicable Service-Specific Terms. Certain Services include additional permission levels and authorizations. If you use these Services, Administrators on your Brex Account will be able to authorize and assign Users these permission levels and authorizations.

In the event of a dispute regarding who is authorized to act on behalf of the Company or any Entity in connection with Company’s Brex Account, you agree that Brex is not obligated to adjudicate any such dispute and may continue to honor instructions from any designated Administrator or User, or suspend Company’s Brex Account or limit use of the Services unless and until the dispute is resolved, in Brex’s sole discretion.

Other Users

Users other than Administrators may perform a variety of more limited activities on the Brex Account, depending on the role assigned to each User.  Information about the types of User roles is available on our website. We may limit the number of Users you can create, and we may change the names, number, and permissions of roles from time to time by updating our website or otherwise providing you Notice.

All Users, including Administrators, may use Company’s Brex Account, transact, and use the Services only for valid, lawful, bona fide business purposes on Company’s behalf. Users may not use the Services for personal, family, or household purposes. Users must accept and comply with the User Terms.

2.2 Responsibility for Use

Company is responsible and liable for any actions or failure to act on the part of Administrators and Users whether in their original capacity as an Administrator or User or as Delegator or Co-Pilot, and those using Credentials issued to Users to access Company’s Brex Account.  Details on liability for Charges, Fees, or Fines incurred through a specific Service can be found in the applicable Service-Specific Terms.

Company is responsible for:

• Ensuring that Users are aware of and agree to abide by the terms of this Platform Agreement, the applicable Service-Specific Terms and all applicable law in connection with their use of the Services
• Obtaining appropriate consent and authorization to provide Users’ personal information, and ensuring that Users are aware of and have reviewed the Privacy Policy and understand how we process their personal information
• Ensuring that Users are aware of, accept, and comply with the User Terms
• Ensuring that Users use the Services only for valid, lawful business purposes and not for any personal, family, or household use

Company is responsible for ensuring that Administrators, Users, and any other persons affiliated with Company communicate respectfully and will refrain from using any form of disrespectful, harassing, abusive, or hateful speech with Brex team members or Third-Party Service Providers. If Brex receives reports of any such behavior by representatives of your Company, we may contact your Administrator, suspend or limit access to Company’s Brex Account or the Services, or close your Brex Account, in Brex’s sole discretion.

2.3 Access

Safeguards and Credentials

You will keep your Brex Account secure and only provide access to individuals that you have authorized to use the Services on your behalf. You will take all reasonable steps to safeguard the privacy, confidentiality, and security of User Credentials. You will closely and regularly monitor the activities of Users who access the Services, and you will use all reasonable means to protect Cards, checks, mobile devices, web browsers, and anything else used to access or utilize the Services.

You will ensure that each User has their own unique set of Credentials, keeps those Credentials secure, does not share those Credentials with any other person or third party, and does not reuse Credentials for other services.

You will not allow any unauthorized person to use the Services. You will immediately disable User access to the Services or limit permissions where you know or suspect your Brex Account has been compromised or may be misused or where you know or believe a User’s Credentials are compromised or lost; and you will promptly notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your Brex Account or the Services.

2.4 Fees and Disclosures

Fees

We may assess Fees for some Services, including periodic fees, usage fees, late or failed payment fees, service fees, fees for misuse of your Brex Account or Services, fees applicable to certain transactions, or other fees we disclose to you. We will disclose Fees to you when opening your Brex Account, when you start using a new Service, or through our website. We may add or change Fees upon 30 days' Notice to you (though we may not provide prior Notice when we reduce any Fee), or earlier as provided by applicable Service-Specific Terms.  We may also charge a new or changed Fee when you affirmatively agree to such Fee on the date of your agreement, even if that is earlier than 30 days after receiving Notice.

Any accrued or incurred Fees will be included in the amounts you owe Brex.

Credit Reporting

We may report Company payment history and performance to one or more credit reporting agencies.

2.5 Rewards

Brex may determine when, how, and under what conditions you may qualify for, accrue, redeem and retain rewards, and Brex may modify these conditions with or without Notice to you. Certain Services may not be eligible for rewards. Rewards may be subject to caps, revocation, or forfeiture as set forth in the Rewards Terms. All rewards offered are subject to the Rewards Terms and Service-Specific Terms, as applicable.

2.6 Changes to the Services and Service-Specific terms

We may add Services or modify existing Services at any time. Unless expressly stated otherwise in an applicable order form and/or any Service-Specific Terms, any new or modified Services will be subject to this Platform Agreement.

Some services, such as payment-related services, may be provided only by specific Brex entities such as Brex Payments LLC. We do not guarantee that each of the Services will always be offered or available to you. Services will change from time to time, and certain Services may be discontinued. In the event Brex discontinues or modifies a certain Service you are using in a way that materially reduces the features or functionality of the Service, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days advance Notice to you before the Service is discontinued or materially modified.

You acknowledge and understand that in order to use certain Services, you and/or parties affiliated with Company (including affiliates, Control Persons, employees, contractors, or agents authorized to use the Services on the Company’s behalf) must agree to Service-Specific Terms governing access to and use of such Services. We may eliminate, amend, or add to Service-Specific Terms at any time subject to any provisions governing termination or amendments. In the event of a conflict between this Platform Agreement and any Service-Specific Terms, the Service-Specific Terms will govern.  Service-Specific Terms will be provided separately from this Platform Agreement.

2.7 Notices, Monitoring, and Communication

You agree that we and any agents acting on our behalf may send Notices to, receive communications from, or otherwise contact, including via text, SMS, WhatsApp or other communication channels, the Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, or Users relating to an application submitted on behalf of Company, your Brex Account, or any activity in connection with your Brex Account in accordance with the terms outlined in this section. We and our agents may send Notices or otherwise communicate with you using the contact information provided to us or our agents by the Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, or Users, including phone numbers associated with mobile phones or devices, and may use autodialing or automated voice messaging technology. We and our agents are not responsible or liable for any charges or costs incurred by you, the Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, or Users in connection with such communications.

You agree that Brex may monitor or record the interactions or activities of Administrators, Users, or persons given access to the Services or your Brex Account when using any of Brex’s websites or mobile applications or accessing the Services.  We and our agents may also monitor or record any communications for quality assurance or other reasonable business purposes.

Notices regarding payments, legal terms, and any other important Notices related to your Company’s Brex Account will be sent to the Natural Person Applicant and/or Administrators through your Brex Account, email, SMS, WhatsApp, or other communication channels and are considered received 24 hours after they are sent. You understand that you may not use the Services unless you consent to receive Notices electronically. You may only withdraw consent to receive Notices electronically by closing your Brex Account.

We may send text, SMS, or WhatsApp messages to the Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, or Users, including in connection with use of Credentials (such as in the case of multi-factor authentication challenges) to allow us to verify their identity.  The Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, or Users may elect not to receive texts, SMS, or WhatsApp messages, but this will limit the use of certain Services and may increase the financial risks to Company that certain text, SMS, or WhatsApp messages are designed to mitigate, including losses caused by lost or stolen Credentials and/or fraud.  Brex may, but is not required to, provide the opportunity for Company, the Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, or Users to receive notices from or communicate with Brex through other means as well.

The Natural Person Applicant, Administrators, and Users are required to maintain updated web browsers, computers, and mobile device operating systems to receive Notices correctly. Contact us immediately if you are or believe you are having problems receiving Notices.

Unless you're communicating with us about a matter where we've specified another notice address (for example, certain communications specified in the Privacy Policy), you may contact us using the information specified here.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory on which your claim is based, unless prohibited by applicable law or rules.

To the extent applicable law or rules prohibit or restrict any of the limitations of liability set forth in this Platform Agreement, or any portion of them, or a court or arbitrator holds that such limitations, or any portion of them, are unenforceable for any reason, this Platform Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that limits Brex’s liability to the greatest extent possible under applicable laws and rules.

3.5 Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL IMPACT HOW LEGAL CLAIMS YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT AS SET FORTH BELOW.  FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PROVISION ONLY, THE TERMS “WE,” “US,” AND “OUR” INCLUDE BREX INC. AND/OR ITS PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE AFFILIATES EXCEPT BREX TREASURY, LLC, THEIR RELATED PERSONS OR ENTITIES, AND/OR ANY PREDECESSORS OR SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST. LEGAL CLAIMS INVOLVING BREX TREASURY, LLC ARE GOVERNED BY THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS OF THE BREX BUSINESS ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THIS SECTION PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH BELOW, THIS SECTION WILL GOVERN ANY CLAIMS YOU, OR ANY PERSONS OR ENTITIES CLAIMING THROUGH OR CONNECTED WITH YOU (E.G., ANY ENTITY OR PERSON YOU AUTHORIZE TO USE OR ACCESS YOUR BREX ACCOUNT), HAS AGAINST US.

You and We Agree to Arbitrate Disputes Between Us. Either you or we may, at either’s sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of a Dispute be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Binding Arbitration section, unless you opt out as provided below, in which case you and we may resolve the Dispute through litigation in court. Disputes are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract, tort, a constitution, statute, common law, principles of equity, or any other legal theory.  Disputes include matters arising as initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. Nothing in this section affects the right of a party to seek temporary injunctive or declaratory relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction in conjunction with a Dispute that is subject to arbitration in order to prevent imminent and irreparable harm.

The scope of this Binding Arbitration section is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable. You and we agree that this Platform Agreement is entered into pursuant to a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Binding Arbitration section.

Opt Out Procedure. If you want to opt out of this Binding Arbitration section, you may do so by delivering a written opt-out notice to Brex Inc., 50 W. Broadway, Ste 333, #15548, Salt Lake City, UT 84101, Attn: Legal Department. The written opt-out notice must be sent to this address within thirty (30) days of the date you accept this Platform Agreement for the first time and you are responsible for maintaining proof that it was sent within this time period (e.g. copy of postmarked mail containing the opt-out notice, copy of receipt from delivery service showing date the delivery service received the opt-out notice for delivery). The opt-out notice must identify the name of your company, state that you are opting out of the Binding Arbitration section of the Platform Agreement, and include the name and signature of someone authorized by you to opt you out of this section. You may send an opt-out notice by mail, delivery service, or courier, as long as it is sent to the address specified above within the specified time. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Binding Arbitration section. Opting out of this section has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration or dispute resolution agreements that you may have with us or third parties. If you opt out of this Binding Arbitration section, all other parts of the Platform Agreement will continue to apply.

Arbitration Procedures. In the event you or we elect to resolve a Dispute through final and binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of this section, the Dispute will be resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator, as provided in this section, unless you and we mutually agree otherwise. All issues will be for the arbitrator to decide, except issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Binding Arbitration section, or the interpretation or enforceability of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief provision below shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.

Arbitration will be administered by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), at the election of the party initiating arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (if AAA is chosen as the administrator) or JAMS’s Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures or Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures depending on the amount in dispute (if JAMS is chosen as the administrator), except to the extent such rules and procedures conflict with this Binding Arbitration section or any countervailing applicable law. You may review JAMS’s rules and procedures by visiting its website at www.jamsadr.com. You may review AAA’s rules and procedures by visiting its website at www.adr.org. In the case of a conflict between the rules and procedures of the administrator and this Binding Arbitration section, this section shall control, subject to countervailing applicable law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and procedures of the administrator apply.

If the value of the relief sought in arbitration is $50,000 or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the discretion of the arbitrator to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

Either you or we may commence arbitration by providing a written demand for arbitration to JAMS or AAA and the other party detailing the nature of the Dispute and the relief requested. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law as described in Section 3.4. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees and its out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the arbitration, except the appropriate apportionment of any administrative fees and expenses or arbitrator fees and expenses associated with the arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator in the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information. The arbitration proceedings and information related to them will be maintained as confidential, including the nature and details of the Dispute arbitrated, evidence produced, testimony given, and the outcome of the arbitration, unless such information was already in the public domain or was obtained independent from the Dispute. Company and Brex, and all witnesses, advisors, and arbitrators will only share such information as necessary to prepare for or conduct arbitration or other legal proceedings, or to enforce the outcome of the same, unless additional disclosure is required by law.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED IN COURT ON A PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS. YOU AND WE ALSO AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST US OR YOU. UNLESS CONSENTED TO IN WRITING BY ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION: (1) THE CLAIMS OF TWO OR MORE INDIVIDUALS OR PARTIES CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED IN THE SAME ARBITRATION UNLESS THOSE PERSONS OR PARTIES ARE PARTIES TO A SINGLE TRANSACTION, AND (2) AN AWARD IN ARBITRATION SHALL DETERMINE THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE NAMED PARTIES ONLY, AND ONLY WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION, AND SHALL NOT (A) DETERMINE THE RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS, OR INTERESTS OF ANYONE OTHER THAN A NAMED PARTY, OR RESOLVE ANY CLAIM OF ANYONE OTHER THAN A NAMED PARTY; NOR (B) MAKE AN AWARD FOR THE BENEFIT OF, OR AGAINST, ANYONE OTHER THAN A NAMED PARTY. NO ADMINISTRATOR OR ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE POWER OR AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, MODIFY, OR FAIL TO ENFORCE THIS PROVISION, AND ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO, WHETHER BY RULE, POLICY, ARBITRATION DECISION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE INVALID AND UNENFORCEABLE. ANY CHALLENGE TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS PROVISION SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT BY JAMS, AAA, OR ANY ARBITRATOR.

Severability. If any portion of this Binding Arbitration section, other than the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this section shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If a court decides that any of the provisions of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief is invalid or unenforceable because it would prevent the exercise of a nonwaivable right to pursue public injunctive relief and that decision is not overturned after any rights to appeal are exhausted, then any claim regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that form of relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in court. Also, if a court decides that any of the provisions of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief is invalid or unenforceable for any other reason and that decision is not overturned after any rights to appeal are exhausted, then any claim that may not be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief that are held to be invalid or unenforceable must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in court. For the sake of clarity, in no event shall any court decision finding a provision of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief invalid or unenforceable be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to adjudicate claims or make awards in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Binding Arbitration section.

Future Amendments to this Binding Arbitration Section. Notwithstanding any provision in this Platform Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Binding Arbitration section (other than an amendment to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this Binding Arbitration section that have arisen or may arise between you and us. We will notify you of amendments to this Binding Arbitration section by posting the amended terms on www.brex.com at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments and by providing notice through email to one or more designated administrators of your Brex Account. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may close your Brex Account within the 30-day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

3.6 Compliance with Court Orders and Other Legal Process or Requests and Applicable Law

If we are notified of or become aware of a court order or other legal process or request (e.g., subpoenas, garnishments, levies, warrants) or if we otherwise believe we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable law or regulatory requirements, we may take certain actions, including without limitation providing information in our possession, custody, or control; holding payments to/from your Brex Account or holding or otherwise restricting funds in your Brex Account; or suspending, terminating, closing, or limiting access to your Brex Account. We will decide, in our sole discretion, which action is required or appropriate. We do not have an obligation to contest or appeal any court order or legal process involving you, your Entities or your Brex Account.  We are not responsible to you or your Entities for any losses or consequences you sustain due to actions we may take to comply with a legal order, legal process or request, or applicable law.  We may, but are not required to, provide you with Notice of any court order, legal process or requests, or actions we may take in conjunction with them or in an effort to comply with applicable law.

3.7 Headings and Interpretation

Headings in this Platform Agreement are for reference only. Except where otherwise specified, all references to sections or provisions refer to this Platform Agreement or the applicable incorporated terms. The phrases including, for example, or such as do not limit the generality of the preceding provision; the word or will be read to mean either… or… or any combination of the proceeding items; words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular; and provisions listing items and using and require all listed items.

3.8 Changes to this Platform Agreement and Service-Specific Terms

We reserve the right to amend this Platform Agreement and any Service-Specific Terms, including by deleting, modifying, or adding provisions, at any time by posting the amended version of this Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms to the Brex website. The amended version will be effective at the time we post it, unless otherwise noted. If any amendments materially reduce your rights or increase your responsibilities, we will provide you with at least 30 days’ advance email notice of the amended Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms before the amended agreement/terms becomes effective as to you. Such email notice will be sent to the email address(es) we have on file for the Administrator(s) of your Brex Account. Your and/or your Entities’ continued use of or access to your Brex Account or any Services, through the actions of any Administrator or User, after any amended Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms becomes effective as to you constitutes acceptance of the amended agreement/terms. If you do not agree with any amended Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms, you may close your Brex Account in a manner consistent with this Platform Agreement or stop using the Service to which any amended Service-Specific Terms apply before it becomes/they become effective as to you. It is your responsibility to ensure that the contact information, including any email addresses, associated with your Brex Account remains accurate and current. Please contact us immediately if your contact information changes so we can assist with updating your account.

You are responsible for notifying Entities and Users of any applicable updates to the Platform Agreement, any Service-Specific Terms, and all terms, agreements, and policies incorporated by reference, and for ensuring Entities and Users comply with such updates. We may or may not provide Notice of updates directly to Entities and Users.

Outside of amendments made consistent with the terms of this Platform Agreement and any Service-Specific Terms, the only other way this Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms may be amended or otherwise modified is through an agreement in writing that is duly signed by an authorized representative of Brex and an authorized representative of Company.

Any waiver, modification, or indulgence that we provide to Company, of any kind or at any time, applies only to the specific instance involved and will not act as a general waiver or a waiver, modification, or indulgence under this Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms for any other or future acts, events, or conditions. Further, any delay by Brex in enforcing our rights under this Platform Agreement or Service-Specific Terms does not constitute forfeiture or waiver of such rights.

3.9 Assignment

You may not transfer or assign (by operation of law or otherwise) this Platform Agreement, any of your rights or obligations hereunder, or operation of your Brex Account, without Brex's prior express written consent. If you wish to make such a transfer or assignment, or the ownership of Company or any Entity is changing, you must give us prior written notice. If we consent to such a transfer or assignment by Company, the assignee or successor must assume all of Company’s rights, obligations, and liabilities under this Platform Agreement and your relationship with Brex, and will be bound by all the terms of this Platform Agreement. In the event of a change in ownership of an Entity, you will continue to remain fully responsible for the use of your Brex Account by the Entity’s assignee or successor, if such assignee or successor is granted access in our sole discretion.  Brex may assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Platform Agreement or any of its rights and powers under this Platform Agreement without restriction and without providing Notice to you. Any such assignee or successor will have all rights as though originally named in this Platform Agreement instead of Brex.

3.10 Entire Agreement
