1. Higlobe Terms & Conditions

October 23 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the services provided by Higlobe, Inc. and its subsidiaries, partners and/or affiliates (“Higlobe”). Higlobe is referred to herein as “Higlobe” “we,” “our,” or “us”.

This is a legal agreement between Higlobe and you or the company through which you are doing business (“you,” an “account holder”, or a “client”). These Terms describe the terms and conditions that apply to your access to or use of our website, applications, and any Higlobe services we provide (the "Services" or the "Higlobe Services" ), including services that enable your receipt and remittance of cross border payments. By opening an account with Higlobe, you agree to these Terms.

Please read carefully all of the Terms and each of the other agreements or policies that apply to you.

Higlobe is located at 684 S. 2nd Street San Jose, CA 95112. You may contact Higlobe customer service by email addressed to [email protected].

1.1 Our Services

You are becoming a Higlobe client so that you can, according to these Terms:

(i) receive payment via bank transfers; debit or credit card; or any other payment methods supported by Higlobe; from companies or individuals (each, a “Payor”);

(ii) withdraw the payment for your goods or services in your local bank account, digital wallet or payment account supported by Higlobe;

(vii) enroll with Higlobe Flex and receive advances, subject to eligibility; and

(viii) use other Services which may be offered by Higlobe.

After onboarding on Higlobe , wewill provide you with an account that enables you to receive from a Payor, or send to a Payee, payments din U.S dollars, Euros, or Great British Pounds (this account, a “Higlobe Account”),via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other similar systems, . You can keep your funds in the Higlobe Account or transfer the funds to your, or the Payee's, local bank account for withdrawal at any time, subject to these Terms.

1.2 Appointment as Agent

To enable Higlobe to provide you with the Services, you agree to appoint (and by opening a Higlobe account, you are appointing) Higlobe as your agent for the purpose of receiving or transmitting payments on your behalf, in connection with a Payor’s payment to you, or your payment to a Payee. In case you are receiving payments for goods or services provided by you to such Payor, you further acknowledge and agree that a Payor’s delivery of payment to your Higlobe account satisfies the Payor’s obligation to pay you for such goods or services, to the extent of the payment received. In other words, you agree that a Payor's obligation to pay you is fulfilled upon receipt of payment in full by Higlobe.

1.3 Underlying Transaction

Except for our limited role in receiving and transmitting payments received by you, we are not involved in the underlying transaction for which you are paying or being paid, and you are solely responsible for resolving any disputes concerning any underlying transaction. We do not have any ability to control the actions of Payors or Payees, and therefore we do not guarantee payment to you, or payment to you in full, by any Payor. You agree that the Payor’s obligation to pay you for your goods or services is fulfilled upon receipt of funds by us as your agent.

1.4 Use of Stablecoins

You acknowledge that we will use U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins, or other tokenized digital assets that may be offered by Higlobe's partners, to transfer funds that you may receive into your Higlobe Account, or funds that you send to Payees; and that we will hold funds that you otherwise keep on deposit in your Higlobe Account in the form of U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins.

1.5 Receiving Account

All Higlobe customers will receive a Receiving Account; as a Higlobe client you can provide any Payor with your Receiving Account information which they can use to pay you for services or goods you have provided, subject to these Terms. All funds that are properly received into your Receiving Account will be held as U.S. dollar backed stablecoins.

You are not required to withdraw the full amount of any payment received into your Receiving Account; subject to your obligations under these Terms and unless prohibited or limited by the laws of your home country, you may hold your funds in your Higlobe account and use other Higlobe Services for as long as you wish.

1.6 Receipt/Transfer Record

With the exception of remittances to Payees, and some business transactions which can be cleared without further documentation, we will require you to submit a receipt for the transfer using the form provided on our website prior to any withdrawal.

The receipt will ask for a brief description of the work you performed and certain information regarding the Payor from which you expect to receive or have received a payment. You understand that we will verify certain information about any Payor from whom you receive or expect to receive funds the first time that you identify them as a Payor in your receipt. This verification process will typically take 24hours, although in some cases it may take longer. Your payment will be held while we complete this process, and accordingly your first payment from any given Payor may be delayed.

If we are unable to verify the information you have provided regarding a Payor, or the Payor you identify in your receipt does not match the actual source of the payment, your payment may be delayed or the payment may be rejected and returned to the Payor, at your expense. Further, one or more failures on your part to provide a receipt in the format provided for any payment is grounds for Higlobe to close your account. You authorize us to verify the contents of any receipt that you submit to us in any manner that is legally permissible.

1.7 Your Privacy

We respect your privacy. You acknowledge your usage of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy which explains our commitment to maintaining your privacy, as well as our collection, processing, and disclosure of your information.

1.8 Acceptable Uses

You will use Higlobe Services only for legitimate business purposes and only for purposes that have been approved by Higlobe. You agree that you will not use Higlobe Services to receive payments for, or in support of, any illegal purposes or for any purpose which we have identified as restricted. For a full list of restricted purposes that you agree to abide by, see our Acceptable Use Policy, a copy of which is included at the end of these Terms.

Higlobe does not currently charge a fee for the use of our Services. This is subject to change at any time.

While Higlobe does not charge a fixed fee for the use of its Services, you will be charged a spread when you use our Services. In most cases, Higlobe will receive a portion of the stablecoin liquidation spread that you are charged.

1.10 Transfer Volume and Frequency Limitations

We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount and/or the number of payments you can send and receive. We may impose or change any limits from time to time in our sole discretion, to comply with applicable law or for any other reason.

In addition, you may be subject to certain volume and frequency limitations depending on your country of residence. This means that you may not be able to receive or withdraw more than a certain amount per payment or per month.

Please note: Any transfers of more than $10,000 may be held for up to 24 hours in addition to any necessary transfer time in certain cases.

1.11 Limited Functionality and Control of Your Receiving Account

Your Receiving Account is not a full service bank account and it has limited functionality. Its purpose is limited to the Services provided by Higlobe. You understand and agree that you will not be able to use your Receiving Account to reject a payment, to write checks, to stop payment to any party, or to perform other tasks that you would be able to perform in a full service bank account.

Your Receiving Account cannot and will not be replenished in any ways not supported by our Services. In cases of a rejected or returned payment, you will be charged a return fee.

2 Getting Started With Higlobe - Accounts and Services

2.1 Onboarding

Accounts Opening and Identity Verification

Your first step to using any Higlobe Services is to open an account.

As part of our onboarding process for a Higlobe Account, we will ask you for basic personal information, such as your name, address, email address, tax ID number, valid bank account information, and certain other information that we require. We will also request that you provide us with a passport or national ID, and photograph of yourself taken at the time of onboarding (i.e., a “selfie”). If you are opening a business account, we will ask for certain additional information related to the business entity. We do this in order to verify your identity. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete information in response to our questions, and you understand that your failure to do so may result in a refusal to open your account. In addition, and keep that information you provide current by informing us of any changes to it, and you understand that your failure to do so may result in the delay of a payment or in the suspension or termination of your ability to use our Services.

In connection with opening a Higlobe account, you authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to confirm your identity and to otherwise confirm or validate the information you have provided.

In addition, we may request additional information from you at any time during your use of the Higlobe Services, for example, to validate a particular transfer or to otherwise confirm information you have provided to us, and you agree to provide us with this information. This additional information may include business invoices, copies of government-issued identification, business licenses, copies of bank statements, or other information related to you or your business, your beneficial owners or principals. Your failure to provide this information in a timely manner may result in suspension or termination of your Higlobe Account and your ability to use our Services.

We reserve the right to deny opening an account for and to withhold Services to any individual or company without providing an explanation.

2.2 Withdrawal To Your Local Bank

We allow you to convert the U.S. dollar denominated funds in your Higlobe Account into your local currency and transfer the local currency amount to your local bank account, on demand.

A withdrawal will include a conversion of the U.S. dollar denominated funds into your or the Payee's local currency, since local banks outside the U.S. will only accept deposits in your domestic currency. When you initiate a withdrawal or remittance, Higlobe will display the conversion rate in effect at that time, and which will be used to convert your funds into your / the Payee's local currency. The conversion rate quoted is guaranteed to be available to you for the limited time that it is displayed. In addition, in order to deliver funds rapidly, Higlobe may settle with its local partners in fiat or in digital currencies backed by fiat.

2.3 Conversion Rates

To enable you to use our Services, we will work with home country platforms, payment gateways, banks or other financial institutions who can provide us and you with the necessary conversion and related services in your country. The local financial institution that we work with will charge you a conversion spread when you make a withdrawal. In most cases, Higlobe will receive a portion of the conversion spread.

Exchange rates fluctuate constantly. In case you decide to withdraw funds during the banking hours applicable to your country, we will use our best efforts to provide you the best exchange rate available according to commercial standards.

2.4 Transfer Errors and Disputes

You recognize that Higlobe’s involvement when you send or receive payments is limited. Higlobe is not involved in the underlying transaction for which you are paying or being paid, and you are solely responsible for resolving any disputes concerning any such transaction. If you have a payment dispute with a Payor regarding the amount or non-receipt of an expected payment, you agree to contact the Payor directly to resolve the issue with them. Higlobe is not in any way responsible for any misunderstanding or disagreement that you may have with your Payor.

If you feel that we have made a mistake when accepting a payment on your behalf, or otherwise in providing you with the Services, please contact us immediately through one of the methods set out below under “Customer Support”. We will investigate the matter and reply to you with an answer or a correction.

2.5 Customer Support; Our Customer Support Commitment

Higlobe provides customer support to its account holders seven days a week. You can reach customer support via email at: [email protected] or by using the chat function on our website.

You agree to contact only Higlobe regarding any issues you have with your account or a transfer. You agree you will not try to contact any of our service providers or local partners regarding any Higlobe transfer.

2.6 Account Lock; Held or Stopped Payments

Money transfer is a heavily regulated industry that has a high potential for fraud or misuse. Accordingly, you agree that Higlobe has the right to lock, freeze, or halt access to your account at its sole discretion when it suspects any illicit activity, any use of Higlobe Services in contravention of our Acceptable Use Policy or these Terms, or for any other reason. Though this is a rare occurrence, we may take this step if we are concerned about unusual transfers or if we are requested or required to do so by relevant regulatory and legal authorities.

You also acknowledge and agree that Higlobe can place a hold on a payment or payments sent to your Receiving Account at any time at its sole discretion. You acknowledge that when placing a hold on a payment, Higlobe is under no obligation to disclose the reason and may be legally prohibited from disclosing the reason.

Higlobe also has the right to return payments sent to your Receiving Account to the Payor for any reason. This may occur if we are unable to verify the information you provide about your Payor in the receipt you provide or for some other reason. Higlobe may return these payments to the Payor, and any costs related to this will be borne by either the Payor or you, at Higlobe’s sole discretion.

Higlobe will not be liable for any fees or costs caused by placing a hold on or returning a payment or payments. Higlobe will not be liable for any lost profits or any punitive or consequential damages resulting from held or returned payments.

Please note that transfers of $10,000 or more may be held for up to 24 hours in addition to any necessary transfer time in certain cases.

In addition, the first payment you receive from any new Payor may be held for up to 24 hours to enable us to verify certain information about the Payor and the payment.

2.7 Account Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or close your Higlobe Account at any time for any reason. We will complete any withdrawals that you have initiated prior to account closure, and when closing your Higlobe account we will typically transfer any amounts you have on deposit in your Higlobe account to the local bank account we have on file for you, except in certain cases where you may have violated the Acceptable Use Policy. We will not be liable to you for any losses that you incur in connection with our closure or suspension of your account.

2.8 Closing Your Higlobe Account

You may close your account and terminate your relationship with us at any time, without cost, but you will remain liable for any outstanding obligations related to your Higlobe account even after the Higlobe account is closed. Closing your Higlobe Account will automatically terminate your ability to use our Services. You must withdraw any funds on deposit in your Higlobe account before closing it.

In certain circumstances, you will not be able to close your Higlobe account, including:

  • To evade an investigation
  • If you have a pending transfer or a payment dispute with Higlobe
  • If your Higlobe account is subject to a hold or freeze

2.9 Partial/Incomplete Account Registrations/KYC

If you register to open a Higlobe Account but do not start the identity verification process, Higlobe reserves the right to delete your registration without further notice to you. You will be able to re-register at a later date using the same information.

If you register and start but do not complete the identity verification process, Higlobe reserves the right to close your account without further notice to you. Higlobe will retain any identity documents, selfies, or other documents you submitted as part of the identity verification process in accordance with the Higlobe Privacy Policy. If you wish to reactivate your account at a future date after starting but not completing identity verification, you should contact our customer success team at: [email protected], or by using the chat function on our website.

2.10 Holding Money in your Higlobe Account

You are permitted to retain any funds transferred to you in your Higlobe Account in any amount, and for as long as you like. Any funds held in your Higlobe account represent an unsecured claim against us.

Higlobe will maintain all Higlobe account deposits in the form of U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins.

Higlobe is not a bank and funds you hold in your Higlobe account are not eligible for U.S. federal deposit insurance or for deposit insurance provided by any other country or jurisdiction.

When you maintain a balance in your Higlobe account, we will pool those funds with the deposits of other Higlobe customers. These pooled amounts are held separate and apart from Higlobe’s corporate funds, and we will neither use these funds for our operating expenses or any other corporate purposes nor will we voluntarily make these funds available to our creditors in the event of bankruptcy.

4 Limited Guarantees

4.1 Delivery Warranty

In the vast majority of cases, you will receive your withdrawal within seconds or minutes, though in some cases it may take up to two days. With that in mind, we make the following guaranty with respect to the timing of your transfer:

Provided that your funds are fully available for withdrawal by you, we guarantee that our local partner will send your funds for delivery to the local bank account provided to us by you within two business days of your submission of a withdrawal request to us, subject to the limitations described below. If your funds are not sent within two business days, subject to the limitations below, we will either (i) for account holders who are using a free tier of Higlobe Service, increase the amount of funds you may transfer without having to purchase a subscription plan, or (ii) for account holders who have purchased a subscription plan, credit you with a free month of Higlobe service.

Please note that this guarantee is not a guarantee that your funds will in all cases arrive at (i.e. be credited to and available for withdrawal from) your local bank account within two business days of submission by you of a withdrawal request. Higlobe does not control and is not responsible for delays attributable to the banking system in your country or to your local bank.

Please note that this guaranty does not apply to any withdrawal where (i) either you or the Payor are subject to any anti-money laundering or comparable government restrictions on payment at the time of withdrawal, or (ii) the payment represented by the withdrawal does not otherwise comply with Higlobe policies, such as our Acceptable Use policy. Higlobe reserves the right to verify all claims for reimbursement under this guarantee.

4.2 Lowest Total Cost Guarantee

Higlobe guarantees that the cost to use our service for USD transfers to its customers will be equal to or less than the total cost charged by any other money transfer service that provides the same level of service as Higlobe in either country.

If you are an existing Higlobe customer who has received one or more payments through Higlobe and you receive a bona fide offer from a competing money transfer service that provides the same level of service as Higlobe to transfer a USD payment from the U.S. at a lower total cost, Higlobe agrees, subject to our ability to confirm that the offer is genuine, that the level of service offered is the same, and to the limitations below, to match the lower price by making up the difference between the total cost of the service offered and the total cost to use Higlobe, as described in more detail below.

To qualify for compensation under the guarantee, the total cost to use the competing service must be less than the total cost to use Higlobe to transfer a comparable sum at the same time of day that you wish to transfer. The “total cost” to use the competing service includes (i) the base foreign exchange rate used, (ii) the “spread” or margin, if any, applied to the foreign exchange rate used, (iii) any IOF or other taxes charged in connection with the transfer, and (iv) any fees charged in connection with the transfer.

By agreeing to match the lower price, Higlobe is agreeing to compensate you for the difference in value between the total cost to use Higlobe’s service and the lower total cost you would be charged for a transfer under the terms of the competing offer of a comparable dollar amount from a company offering the same level of service as Higlobe. This compensation may take one or more of several forms, in Higlobe’s sole discretion, including, without limitation, (i) a cash payment or credit to your Higlobe account, (ii) the issuance of a Higlobe payment of gift card, and/or (iii) a rebate or credit applied to future transfers through Higlobe. Higlobe also reserves the right to take into account and to apply any limitations or conditions that apply to the competing offer (such as the duration of the offer, or any transfer size or volume limitations) when determining the amount of compensation Higlobe will award under this guarantee.

Please note that Higlobe can convert and transfer your funds 24 hours per day, while most other companies do not perform cross border money transfers outside of normal business hours. Accordingly, this lowest cost guarantee will not apply to transfers made during times of the day when the competing service is not available, because Higlobe is the lowest cost provider at that time. This will typically be after normal business hours, in most cases.

Higlobe reserves the right to apply this guarantee only available to existing Higlobe customers who have received one or more transfers through the Higlobe service, and all transfers must include a conversion from USD to local currency to qualify. Higlobe reserves the right to verify all claims submitted under this guarantee, and to reject any claim that cannot be substantiated to our satisfaction. In addition, Higlobe reserves the right to refuse payment under this guarantee in connection with any claim that it determines, in its sole discretion, to be abusive, inaccurate, or made in bad faith. All determinations by Higlobe are final.

To submit a claim under this guarantee, please email [email protected]. All claims submitted must be accompanied by supporting documentation, which can be in the form of screenshots, to be considered. Claims submitted without supporting documentation will not be considered.

5 General Provisions

5.3 No Warranty; Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 ABOVE, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. THE HIGLOBE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not have any control over your provision of the products or services that you are being paid for with the Services or your proper billing for the same. Nor do we have any control over Payors from whom you are expecting or are owed payment. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Services, and operation of our site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for withdrawals involving your account are processed in a timely manner but, except to the limited extent provided in Section 4 above, we make no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the U.S. or your domestic banking systems in general, delays on the part of our U.S and/or local agents and delays or possible service interruptions at Higlobe partner service providers. Certain Services may not be available to you based on residency, geographic location or other eligibility criteria. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you.

5.4 Entire Agreement

These Terms and all policies and procedures that are referenced herein or incorporated by reference (including, without limitation, the Acceptable Use Policy and the Consent to Electronic Delivery) constitute the entire agreement between you and Higlobe for provision and use of your Higlobe account and the xServices. Except where expressly stated otherwise in a writing executed between you and us, these Terms will prevail over any conflicting policy or agreement for the provision or use of your Higlobe account or the Services. These Terms set forth your exclusive remedies with respect to your Higlobe account and the Services. If any provision or portion of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable under law, then it will be reformed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible, and all remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

5.5 Modification

In the event that we make changes to these Terms, we will post the new terms on our website. You agree to the new-posted terms by continuing your use of your Higlobe account and the Services. If you do not agree with the modified terms, your sole remedy is to close your Higlobe account and discontinue using the Services.

5.6 Waiver.

The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. No delay or omission on our part to avail ourselves of any right that we have or may have under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of any such right by us.

5.7 Intellectual Property.

All right, title, and interest in the Services and associated software, website and technology, including all intellectual property rights therein, are and will remain with Higlobe, or our partners, affiliates or third party licensors. No right or interest in the intellectual property pertaining to the Services is conveyed herein. The software, website and the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved .

5.8 Agreement to Arbitrate

Arbitration: In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Higlobe in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Higlobe agree that every dispute arising in connection with this these Terms, your Higlobe account, or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted in the United States. Arbitration is less formal 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 monetary damages and relief that a court can award (although the arbitrator must abide by the contractual limits on damages in these Terms) and must enforce applicable statutes of limitation and legal defenses. Your agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, your Higlobe account or the Services, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms.

BY ENTERING IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND HIGLOBE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Waiver of Class Actions and Right to Trial by Jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any right to a trial by jury and you agree that you may bring claims against Higlobe only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND/OR CONSOLIDATION OF ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Procedures. Any arbitration between you and Higlobe will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and, where the claim is by or against a natural person and involves a product or service for personal or household use then the AAA Consumer Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.

Notice. If you intend to seek arbitration, you must first send a written notice (“Notice”) of your claim or dispute to Higlobe by certified mail or by Federal Express (signature required) to: 684 S. 2nd Street San Jose, CA 95112 Attn: LEGAL, with a copy to [email protected]. The Notice must describe: (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the remedy that you want (“Demand”). You and Higlobe agree to make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if you and Higlobe do not reach an agreement within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Higlobe may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Higlobe must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, the payment of fees related to the arbitration will be decided by the AAA Rules. However, 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 U.S. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), You agree to reimburse Higlobe for any fees paid on your behalf that would otherwise be your obligation under the AAA Rules.

Location. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York, New York, USA. If your claim is for one thousand ($1,000) or less, you may request that the arbitration be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.8, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right to: (a) bring an individual (non-class, non-representative) action in small claims court in the United States so long as such action remains in small claims court; (b) pursue a private general attorney action where arbitration cannot be required under applicable law; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in the United States; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

5.9 Governing Law and Venue

Higlobe is a U.S. company. Except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Higlobe.

Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions as discussed above) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal district court sitting in the county of New York in the state New York.

5.10 Assignment

You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under these Terms without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to transfer or assign these Terms or any right or obligation under these Terms at any time. These Terms shall inure to the benefit of all permitted successors and assigns.

5.11 Force Majeure

Neither we nor you will be liable for any delays in processing or other nonperformance caused by telecommunications utility failures, or equipment failures; labor strife, riots, war, or terrorist attacks; global pandemics; nonperformance of our partners or affiliates, fires or acts of nature; or any other event over which we have no reasonable control.

5.12 Severability.

In the event that any provision contained herein shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such extent such provision shall be deemed null and void and severed from these Terms, the remainder hereof shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

5.13 Survival

The following shall survive the termination of these Term: (i) all liabilities accrued under these Terms prior to the effective date of termination; (ii) all provisions that give rise to a party’s ongoing obligation; (iii) all provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9 of these Terms; and (iv) any other terms which by their nature should survive.
