The Plan begins on the date it is initially purchased except that Gifted Plans will start when the activation steps are completed. The Plan ends as explained below depending on what type of Plan was purchased (the “Service Period”). The Purchaser’s payment receipt or the email we will send confirming the purchase will identify which type of plan was purchased.

a. Monthly Plans.

If the Purchaser paid for a month-to-month Plan, the Plan will continue indefinitely on a month-to-month basis until it is cancelled or reaches 25 years of duration. Until the Plan described in this paragraph is cancelled, the Purchaser authorizes us to charge his/her credit or debit card at the beginning of each monthly billing period the then-current price for the Plan, subject to us giving notice to the Purchaser of any price changes. Prior to the beginning of each monthly billing period we will send the Purchaser a reminder that his/her credit or debit card will be charged at the start of the upcoming monthly billing period unless the Plan is cancelled.

b. Transferred Plans.

Transferred plans will assume the same plan terms as originally purchased. Until the Plan is cancelled, the Purchaser authorizes us to charge his/her credit or debit card at the beginning of each monthly billing period the then-current price for the Plan, subject to us giving notice to the Purchaser of any price changes. Prior to the beginning of each monthly or yearly billing period we will send the Purchaser a reminder that his/her credit or debit card will be charged at the start of the upcoming yearly billing period unless the Plan is cancelled.

a. How to cancel.

The Purchaser or Subscriber, as applicable, may cancel the Plan at any time by accessing the Palmetto Home App and corresponding via chat, sending an inquiry through https://www.palmetto.com/about/contact/ or by calling us at 855-339-1831 to transfer the Plan.

b. Cancellation within 30 days.

The Purchaser may cancel the Plan and receive a refund in the amount paid for the Plan if the cancellation is within 30 days of purchase of the Plan.

c. Continuous Monthly Plan.

If the Purchaser cancels a Continuous Monthly Plan at any time, the Purchaser will receive service through the duration of that month’s payment period, at which point the plan and associated services will be cancelled.

d. Cancellation or Suspension of Service by Us.

The Plan you purchased may be cancelled by us due to the your fraud or material misrepresentation, unsafe work environment/conditions as determined by us, or your nonpayment of the annual fee if you purchased an Continuous Yearly Plan, or other amounts owed to us under the Plan (“Non-Payment Event”). If a Non-Payment Event occurs, we will provide the Purchaser written notice (e.g., email) of the Non-Payment Event. If you do not cure the Non-Payment Event within 30 days after delivery of our notice of such Non-Payment Event, then (i) if you purchased a Continuous Yearly Plan, it will be cancelled retroactively to midnight on the last day of the preceding annual period. We may also suspend performance of our obligations while a Non-Payment Event exists or any other situation where you failed to pay us an amount that is due or where you failed to comply with or fulfill any other material obligation under this Plan.

THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, AS MODIFIED HEREIN. In the event of a dispute between You and the Installer, either party may choose to resolve the dispute by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court. Any claim (except for a claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this Installation Agreement, including this provision or a Class Action Waiver) may be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests it. THIS MEANS IF EITHER YOU OR THE INSTALLER CHOOSE ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ALSO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

(i) ARBITRATION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

THIS MEANS NEITHER YOU NOR THE INSTALLER MAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY, OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.

(ii) Class Action Waiver.

Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, You or the Installer may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any new claims later asserted in that lawsuit. The Installer will not choose to arbitrate any claim You bring in small claims court. However, if such a claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, the Installer may then choose to arbitrate.

(iii) Governing Law.

All disputes concerning the validity, interpretation and application of this Installation Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Arbitration must proceed only with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS. The rules for the arbitration will be those in this arbitration agreement and the procedures of the chosen arbitration organization, but the rules in this arbitration agreement will be followed if there is disagreement between the agreement and the organization’s procedures. If the organization’s procedures change after the claim is filed, the procedures in effect when the claim was filed will apply. For a copy of each organization’s procedures, to file a claim or for other information, please contact: AAA at 1101 Laurel Oak Rd., Voorhees, NJ 08043, www.adr.org (phone 1-877-495-4185), or JAMS at 620 Eighth Ave., Floor 34, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com (phone 1-800-352-5267). If both AAA and JAMS are completely unavailable, and if You and the Installer cannot agree on a substitute, then either You or the Installer may request that a court appoint a substitute.

(v) Procedure.

Arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district for the County of Charleston in the State of South Carolina. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must: (a) Follow all applicable substantive law, except when contradicted by the FAA; (b) Follow applicable statutes of limitations; (c) Honor valid claims of privilege; and (d) Issue a written decision including the reasons for the award. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except for any review allowed by the FAA.

(v) Enforcement.

Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction in the County of Charleston in the State of South Carolina.

(vii) Survival.

This arbitration provision shall survive the term of this Service Plan.
