5.4 Recurring Payments for Paid Service using Lifetime Shutters Software. When you purchase a subscription to
Lifetime Shutters’s Paid Service in connection with your use of the Lifetime Shutters Software, Lifetime Shutters will
automatically renew your subscription to the Paid Service at the end of its initial term and at the end of
each term thereafter. The renewal term will be for the same period of time as the initial term. This period
of time is known as the Subscription Period.

At the conclusion of each subscription term, you will automatically be billed for the Lifetime Shutters Paid Service
for a renewal subscription term lasting a period of time equal to the Subscription Period. The Lifetime Shutters
Paid Service fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Taxes may apply on the
subscription fee. You agree to pay for the subscription that you select for the Paid Service and you
authorize us to automatically charge the payment method our service provider has on file for your recurring
payments.

If the payment mechanism (such as a credit card) we have on file for you is declined for payment of your Paid
Service subscription fee, we may retry the payment mechanism at the same or lower rate. If we do not obtain
payment, your Paid Service subscription will be canceled. If you provide us with a new form of payment and
are successfully charged within 30 days after the renewal date, your new Paid Service subscription term will
be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge. If your Paid Service is
terminated, you may be entitled to a refund, subject to limitations provided in Section 9 of this
Agreement.

You are responsible to canceling your subscription regardless of whether you receive any notice from
Lifetime Shutters about the renewal of that subscription. In the event that your payment mechanism expires prior to
the renewal date of your subscription, you are responsible for updating a new payment mechanism in your
Lifetime Shutters account before the renewal date of your subscription to the Paid Service. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Lifetime Shutters makes no representations or warranties about the continued availability of any
particular form of payment method made available for use with the Service.

Several methods of cancelling the automatic renewal of your Lifetime Shutters Paid Service subscription are
available to you, and are described at the website https://support.LifetimeShutters.com/hc/en-us.
Once you have cancelled your automatic renewal, recurring subscription fees for Lifetime Shutters Paid Service fees
will no longer be charged to the payment method we have on file for your account, and your subscription will
remain active only until the end of the term for which you have fully paid the Lifetime Shutters Paid Service fee.

Unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to auto renew, you understand
your paid service subscription will automatically renew periodically and you authorize us to collect the
then-applicable paid service subscription fee plus any applicable taxes, using any payment method we
have on record for you.

Lifetime Shutters currently uses third-party payment processors for electronic commerce. Our third-party e-commerce
payment processor accepts payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may
include various credit cards. By using such third-party payment processors, you agree to their terms and
conditions of use. Such third parties may charge fees to process payments. We may, but are not required to,
pay certain fees at our sole discretion. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lifetime Shutters disclaims all
liability with regard to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.

15.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Lifetime Shutters in the most
expedient and cost effective manner, you and Lifetime Shutters agree that any and all disputes arising out of or
relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a
judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review
by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to
arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of
this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal
theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of this Agreement. You
understand and agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Lifetime Shutters are each waiving the right to
a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

15.2 Notwithstanding Section 15.1, you and Lifetime Shutters agree that nothing herein shall be deemed
to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims
court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such
actions are available, (iii) seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunctive relief in a court
of law in aid of arbitration, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property
infringement claims.

15.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Lifetime Shutters will be conducted in English by a
single arbitrator and will be governed by (i) the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), if
you are a resident of the United States, or (ii) the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss
Chambers' Arbitration Institution (“SCAI”) in force on the date on which the Notice is submitted, if you are
not a resident of the United States, in each case as modified by this Agreement (in either case, the
“Rules”), and will be administered by, respectively, the AAA in case (i) and the SCAI in case (ii). The
Rules and filing forms are available online at, respectively, www.adr.org or 800-778- 7879 (for the AAA), or
www.swissarbitration.org or 41 44 217 40 50 (for the SCAI),
or by contacting Lifetime Shutters.

15.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of
the dispute to the other party, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event
that we do not have a physical address on file for You, by electronic mail (“Notice”). For United States
residents, Lifetime Shutters’s address for Notice is: Lifetime Shutters, Inc., PO Box 60429, Sunnyvale, CA 94088. For all
other persons, Lifetime Shutters’s address for Notice is: Lifetime Shutters GmbH, Hansmatt 32, 6370 Stans, Switzerland.
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific
relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not
reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, You or Lifetime Shutters may commence an
arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or Lifetime Shutters
shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if
any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Lifetime Shutters shall
pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, or (ii) the greatest amount offered
by Lifetime Shutters in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award, whichever is greater.

15.5 Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement,
Lifetime Shutters will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US
$10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the Rules. Any arbitration hearings will
take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California for United States residents,
and at a location to be agreed upon in Zürich, Switzerland for all other persons, provided that if the claim
is for US $10,000 or less, You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of
documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person
hearing as established by the Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the
relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards
set forth in the United States Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be
governed by the Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Lifetime Shutters for all monies previously disbursed
by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the
arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the
essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may
make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during
the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the
merits.

15.6 No class actions. You and Lifetime Shutters 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 Lifetime Shutters 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.

15.7 Enforceability. If Section 15.6 above is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this
Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 will be null and void.

16.1 Notice. Lifetime Shutters may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this
Agreement, by posting the notice through the Service. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after
posting.

16.2 Waiver. The failure of Lifetime Shutters to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this
Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this
Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by Lifetime Shutters.

16.3 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law except payments
disputes filed by customer's domiciled in the European Community or Switzerland will be treated according to
Swiss law.

16.4 Jurisdiction. You agree that in the event of a dispute that is not subject to arbitration
pursuant to Section 15, or if Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, any action at law or in equity
arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or Lifetime Shutters will be filed only in the state or
federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and You hereby consent and
submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such
action.

16.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any
reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from this Agreement to the minimum
extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

16.6 Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be
transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Lifetime Shutters without restriction. Any assignment
attempted to be made in violation of this Agreement shall be void.

16.7 Survival. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the following
provisions will survive such termination or expiration: Sections 4.2, 5.3, and 10 through 16.

16.8 Headings. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute
a part of the terms of this Agreement, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.

16.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Lifetime Shutters
relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties.

16.10 Time Limit for Claims. You and Lifetime Shutters agree that any cause of action arising out of or
