- THE SERVICE.
4.1 Description of the Service. Bala Arena Capital matches users with Funding Providers using a combination of the user’s Profile Information and criteria mutually agreed upon by each Funding Provider and Bala Arena Capital which, if met, would provisionally prequalify the user to receive funding under such Funding Provider’s terms and conditions (the “Prequalification Criteria”). You may request provisional prequalification for funds using the Bala Arena Capital Service at any time by providing Bala Arena Capital certain information and documents, including but not limited to business name and address, amount and intended purpose of funding sought, certain financial information and documents regarding the business, and certain information and documents regarding your business owner (the “Application Information”). You may also be asked to provide tax returns or to sync Bala Arena Capital to your bank transactional data (the “Verified Data”). You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete Application Information and Verified Data. If any of the Application Information you provide is inconsistent with information derived from the Verified Data, we will automatically substitute the inconsistent Application Information with information from the Verified Data. By providing the Application Information and the Verified Data, you also authorize us to obtain information, including from third-party sources, to allow you to verify certain fields of your Application Information based on external information (the “External Data”). Bala Arena Capital reserves the right to obtain External Data at any time during your use of the Bala Arena Capital Service until either you or Bala Arena Capital terminate its rights under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11. If any of the Application Information does not match the External Data, you will have an opportunity to modify any of the Application Information. You also agree that we may contact you, including by telephone or by SMS, to verify the Application Information or to provide additional Application Information.
4.2 License. Subject to this Agreement, Bala Arena Capital grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Service solely for your own business purpose, and solely as permitted by and in compliance with the Terms and Applicable Law.
4.3 Certain Restrictions.

Unless otherwise indicated, any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Service shall be subject to this Agreement. All copyright and other proprietary notices on the Service (or on any content displayed on the Service) must be retained on all copies thereof. You will not use the Sites or Service for any illegal purpose.
4.4 Modification. Bala Arena Capital reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Sites (in whole or in part) with or without notice to you. You agree that Bala Arena Capital will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Sites or any part thereof.
4.5 No Support or Maintenance. You acknowledge and agree that Bala Arena Capital will have no obligation to provide you with any support or maintenance in connection with the Sites or Services.
4.6 Ownership. Excluding any content that you may provide, you acknowledge that all the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, in the Service and its content, are owned by Bala Arena Capital or Bala Arena Capital’s suppliers. Neither the Agreement (nor access to the Service) transfers to you or any other third party any rights, title, or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except the limited access rights expressly set forth in Section 4.2. Bala Arena Capital and its suppliers reserve all rights not granted in this Agreement. There are no implied licenses granted under this Agreement.
4.7 Trademarks. Bala Arena Capital and other related graphics, logos, service marks, and trade names used on or in connection with the Sites or the Service are the trademarks of Bala Arena Capital and may not be used without permission or as directed by Bala Arena Capital. Other trademarks, service marks, and trade names that may appear on or in the Service are the property of their respective owners.
4.8 Bala Arena Capital Funding Provider Referrals. If you meet the Prequalification Criteria set by one or more Funding Providers, we may identify such Funding Provider or Funding Providers to you (each one, a “Matched Funding Provider”), along with data regarding each Funding Provider’s use of the Bala Arena Capital Service, including general details regarding the amount of funding provided, interest rate, the time between application for funding and fulfillment, and timing of repayment of funding (the “Funding Provider Details”). We may limit the number of Funding Providers we identify to you based on our determination of which Funding Providers may be the best match for you. We may share your Application Information with certain Matched Funding Providers for consideration for underwriting (each such identification, a “Referral”). You acknowledge and agree that a Referral does not guarantee that you will receive funding from any Matched Funding Provider. You further acknowledge and agree that the funding terms may differ from the terms and conditions that apply to funding you ultimately receive from a Matched Funding Provider. You further acknowledge and agree that we may receive compensation from certain providers in exchange for Referrals.
4.9 Referrals. If you express an interest in other third-party services and are matched with a provider, we may identify such provider or providers to you, along with information regarding each provider’s use of the Service, including general details regarding the services provided, and other relevant information about the services the provider offers. If we make a referral to a provider, the provider will determine to initiate its qualification process based on the information provided and will determine, according to its own terms and conditions, what services you may qualify for and whether to provide services to you. You acknowledge and agree that Bala Arena Capital has no role in a provider’s decision to provide or not provide services to you and that Bala Arena Capital provides your information to the provider at your direction and on your behalf.
4.10 Applying for Funding. Once we make a Referral, the Matched Funding Provider will initiate its underwriting process based on the Application Information and will determine, according to its own terms and conditions, whether to provide funding to you. You acknowledge and agree that Bala Arena Capital has no role in a Matched Funding Provider’s decision to provide or not provide funding to you and that Bala Arena Capital provides the Application Information to the Matched Funding Provider on your behalf.
4.11 Fee Information. Most of our Services are provided with no fee or charge to you. We receive compensation from certain providers we may identify to you. Our compensation varies depending on the type of services provided to you, the total amount of funding provided to you when a Matched Funding Provider funds the loan or the number of applicants whose information is shared with a provider for consideration. Bala Arena Capital does not control a provider’s terms, but we use our best efforts to make clear the specific amount of any fees or interest rates charged to you by a provider. Ultimately, however, funding terms and conditions are entirely and solely within the provider’s discretion.
4.11.1 Additional Fee Information Specific to Certain Referrals. You agree to pay us certain fees for Referrals made to procure an SBA Loan. The payment of such fees, interest, and other amounts are subject to a separate Secure Application Service Agreement that will be provided to you prior to Referral to a Matched Funding Provider.
4.12 Affiliates. The rights, duties, and/or obligations of Bala Arena Capital under this Agreement may be exercised and/or performed by Bala Arena Capital and/or any of Bala Arena Capital’s Affiliates, or any of their subcontractors and/or agents. Bala Arena Capital acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the acts or omissions of Bala Arena Capital’s Affiliates, and any subcontractor or agent of Bala Arena Capital or any of Bala Arena Capital’s Affiliates, related to the subject matter hereof. You agree that any claim or action arising out of or related to any act or omission of any of Bala Arena Capital or Bala Arena Capital’s Affiliates, or any of their respective subcontractors or agents, related to the subject matter hereof, shall only be brought against Bala Arena Capital, and not against any of Bala Arena Capital’s Affiliates, or any subcontractor or agent of Bala Arena Capital or any of Bala Arena Capital’s Affiliates. You acknowledge that under no circumstances shall a Funding Provider be considered an Affiliate for purposes of this Agreement.

- SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION REQUIRED DISCLOSURES.
To comply with legislation passed by the Congress and Executive Orders issued by the President, Federal executive agencies, including the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), must notify you of certain information. You can find the regulations and policies implementing these laws and Executive Orders in Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”), Chapter 1, or the SBA’s Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”). In order to provide the required notices, the following is a brief summary of the various laws and Executive Orders that affect SBA’s Disaster Loan programs. A glossary of terms can be found at disasterloan.sba.gov.
12.1 Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552). This law provides, with some exceptions, that the SBA must make records or portions of records contained in SBA files available to persons requesting them. This generally includes aggregate statistical information on SBA disaster loan programs and other information such as names of borrowers (and their officers, directors, stockholders, or partners), loan amounts at maturity, the collateral pledged, and the general purpose of loans. The SBA does not routinely make available to third parties your proprietary data without first notifying you, required by Executive Order 12600, or information that would cause competitive harm or constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
12.2 Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”). FOIA requests must describe the specific records you want. For information about the FOIA, contact the Chief, FOI/PA Office, 409 3rd Street, SW, Suite 5900, Washington, DC 20416, or by e-mail at foia@sba.gov.
12.3 Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a). Anyone can request to see or get copies of any personal information that the SBA has in your file. Any personal information in your file that is retrieved by individual identifiers, such as name or social security number is protected by the Privacy Act, which means requests for information about you may be denied unless the SBA has your written permission to release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The information you complete grants permission under the Agreements and Certifications section of the SBA form which contains written permission for the SBA to disclose the information resulting from this collection to the state, local, or private disaster relief services. The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use for SBA’s loan system of records is that when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of the law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature, SBA may refer it to the appropriate agency, whether federal, state, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for or otherwise involved in the investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use of personal information is to assist in obtaining credit bureau reports, on the SBA disaster loan applicants and guarantors for purposes of originating, servicing, and liquidating disaster loans. See, 69 F.R. 58598, 58617 (and as amended from time to time) for additional background and other routine uses. Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide social security numbers. (But see the information under Debt Collection Act below) The SBA uses social security numbers to distinguish between people with a similar or the same name for credit decisions and for debt collection purposes. Failure to provide this number may not affect any right, benefit, or privilege to which you are entitled by law, but having the number makes it easier for the SBA to more accurately identify to whom adverse credit information applies and to keep accurate loan records. Note: Any person concerned with the collection, use, and disclosure of information, under the Privacy Act may contact the Chief, FOI/PA Office, 409 3rd Street, SW, Suite 5900, Washington, DC 20416 or by e-mail at foia@sba.gov for information about the Agency’s procedures relating to the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act.
12.4 Debt Collection Act of 1982; Deficit Reduction Act of 1984; Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 1996 & other titles (31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.). These laws require the SBA to aggressively collect any delinquent loan payments and to require you to give your taxpayer identification number to the SBA when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan and do not make payments when they become due, the SBA may take one or more of the following actions (this list may not be exhaustive):
Offset your income tax refunds or other amounts due to you from the Federal Government. Refer the account to a private collection agency or other agency operating a debt collection center. Suspend or debar you from doing business with the Federal Government. Refer your loan to the Department of Justice. Foreclose on collateral or take other actions permitted in the loan instruments. Garnish wages. Sell the debt. Litigate or foreclose.
12.5 Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. § 3401 et seq.). This notifies you, as required by the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (Act), of the SBA’s right to access financial records held by financial institutions that were or are doing business with you or your business. This includes financial institutions participating in loans or loan guarantees. The law provides that the SBA may access your financial records when considering or administering Government loan or loan guaranty assistance to you. The SBA must give a financial institution a certificate of SBA compliance with the Act when the SBA first requests access to your financial records. No other certification is required for later access. The SBA’s access rights continue for the term of any approved loan or loan guaranty. The SBA does not have to give you any additional notice of the SBA’s access rights during the term of the loan or loan guaranty. The SBA may transfer to another Government authority any financial records included in a loan application or about an approved loan or loan guaranty as necessary to process, service, liquidate, or foreclose a loan or loan guaranty. The SBA will not permit any transfer of your financial records to another Government authority except as required or permitted by law.
12.6 Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The SBA is collecting the information on its required forms in order to make disaster loans available to qualified small businesses. Their forms are designed to collect the information necessary for the SBA to make eligibility and credit decisions in order to fund or deny loan requests. The SBA will also use the information collected on their forms to produce summary reports for program and management analysis, as required by law. PLEASE NOTE: The estimated burden for completing the SBA form is 2 hours. Your responses to the requested information are required in order to obtain a benefit under SBA’s Disaster Business Loan Programs. However, you are not required to respond to any collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB approval number. If you have any questions or comments concerning any aspects of this information collection, please contact the U.S. Small Business Administration Information Branch, 409 3rd St., SW, Washington, DC 20416 and Desk Officer for SBA, Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 725 17th St., NW, Washington, DC 20503. (3245-0017) PLEASE DO NOT SEND FORMS TO OMB.
12.7 SBA Policy Concerning Representatives and Their Fees. When you apply for an SBA loan, you may use an attorney, accountant, engineer, appraiser, or other representatives to help prepare and present the application to the SBA. You are not required to have representation. If an application is approved, you may need an attorney to help prepare closing documents. There are no “authorized representatives” of SBA, other than the SBA’s regular salaried employees. Payment of a fee or gratuity to SBA employees is illegal and will subject those involved to prosecution. SBA Regulations prohibit representatives from proposing or charging any fee for services performed in connection with your loan unless the SBA considers the services necessary and the amount reasonable. The SBA Regulations also prohibit charging you any commitment, bonus, broker, commission, referral, or similar fee. The SBA will not approve the payment of any bonus, brokerage fee, or commission. Also, the SBA will not approve placement or finder’s fees for using or trying to use influence in the SBA loan application process. Fees to representatives must be reasonable for services provided in connection with the application or the closing and based upon the time and effort required, the qualifications of the representative, and the nature and extent of work performed. Representatives must execute a compensation agreement. In the appropriate section of the application, you must state the names of everyone employed by you or on your behalf. You must also notify the SBA disaster office in writing of the names and fees of any representative you employ after you file your application. If you have any questions concerning payment of fees or reasonableness of fees, contact the Field Office where you filed or will file your application.
12.8 Occupational Safety and Health Act (29 U.S.C. 3651 et seq.). This legislation authorizes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) in the Department of Labor to require businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees when appropriate. If your business does not do so, you may be penalized, forced to close, or prevented from starting operations in a new facility. Because of this, the SBA may require information from you to determine whether your business complies with OSHA regulations and may continue operating after the loan is approved or disbursed. You must certify to the SBA that OSHA requirements applying to your business have been determined and that you are, to the best of your knowledge, in compliance.
- GENERAL TERMS.
13.1 Waiver. The waiver by Bala Arena Capital of a breach of any provision contained herein shall be in writing and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or the waiver of the provision itself.
13.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and all other aspects of your use of the Sites or the Services shall be deemed entered into New York and governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding (i) that body of law known as conflicts of law, and (ii) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
13.3 Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Bala Arena Capital and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. It is part of your contract with Bala Arena Capital and affects your rights. It contains procedures of MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
13.3.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by Bala Arena Capital that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Bala Arena Capital, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
13.3.2. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Bala Arena Capital should be sent to 3144 34th street, Queens, NY 11106. After the Notice is received, you and Bala Arena Capital may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Bala Arena Capital do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
13.3.3. Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Agreement. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time, and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Bala Arena Capital made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Bala Arena Capital will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
13.3.4. Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
13.3.5. Time Limits. If you or Bala Arena Capital pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
13.3.6. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Bala Arena Capital. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
13.3.7. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Bala Arena Capital in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND Bala Arena Capital WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute is resolved by a judge.
13.3.8. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
13.3.9. 30-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to info@balaarenacapital.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Bala Arena Capital username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Bala Arena Capital account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
13.3.10. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
13.3.11. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
13.3.12. Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
13.3.13. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Bala Arena Capital.
13.3.14. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Bala Arena Capital may bring an individual action in small claims court.
13.3.15. Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
13.3.16. Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
13.3.17. Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York County, New York, for such purpose.
13.3.18. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Bala Arena Capital makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Bala Arena Capital at the following address: Bala Arena Capital, LLC., 3144 34th street, Queens, NY 11106.
13.4 Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, any of the rights hereunder.
13.5 Entire Agreement.
