8.1 Bids, Offers and Firm Orders. "Bids" and “Offers" on the Service represent non-binding indications of interest submitted by The Zanbato Group or one of its respective authorized registered representatives on behalf of their clients (unless such bids/offers are noted as “firm”). A “firm” bid or offer (each, a “Firm Order”) obligates the customer of The Zanbato Group submitting the Firm Order to pay commissions or banking fees on introduction of a counter-party accepting the terms of their Firm Order, meaning these orders represent a higher level of commitment to transact. Bid and Offers may be for any class of equity security of an issuer and may be for blocks of shares held, exercisable, or held or to be held in special purpose vehicles. Rights of holders of the securities will vary, and transactions may be subject to transfer restrictions, including a right of first refusal by the issuer or others.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between separate written agreements between the parties and these Terms of Use, the former shall govern and control.

8.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of these Terms of Use is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of these Terms of Use will nevertheless remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party and such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in such jurisdiction will not have any effect in any other jurisdiction.

8.4  Governing Law and Arbitration. These Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, or any alleged breach thereof, shall be settled by binding and non-appealable arbitration to be administered by the FINRA dispute resolution process in New York, New York, in accordance with its rules then in effect, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties in the state or federal courts of New York, and the parties hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and the exclusive venue of such courts.

• Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party's ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.
• The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.
• The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date.

• The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.
• The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this agreement.

8.4.2 No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this agreement except to the extent stated herein.
