You are responsible for complying with the tax laws in your country of residence. Once you reach the applicable annual tax threshold for income reporting, you must submit a valid Social Security Number (SSN), Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN), or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to Wyld Notes as required by law.
For U.S.-based affiliates, Wyld Notes will hold commissions once your earnings exceed $500 if you have not provided a valid SSN, TIN, or ITIN.
Additionally, you are responsible for any fines or penalties incurred by Wyld Notes due to incorrect tax identification details associated with your account.

Changes to a SSN, TIN, EIN, or ITIN must be received via a completed W-9 form. The name and TIN on of your account must match IRS records. For tax reporting purposes, changes to a W-9 form may result in issuance of an additional 1099 in the same tax year. No previous 1099s may be reissued based on the new W-9 form. Earnings made before the W-9 change will be reported against the original W-9. Earnings after any W-9 change will be recorded against the information in the new W-9.
Wyld Notes may be required to collect and remit sales taxes on your behalf based on the published retail price of the product and according to tax rates of the state or country in the “ship to” address on any given order.

o The Parties will be allotted equal time to present their respective cases, including cross-examinations.
o The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the Parties and may, if necessary, be reduced to a judgment in a court of law, except that a Party may choose to appeal certain arbitration awards as described below. Further, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any Party seeking to enforce an award of an arbitrator(s) shall submit the award under seal to maintain protections of Confidential Information, and the Parties hereby agree and consent to the filing of such a submission, motion, or order under seal.
o The arbitrator(s) will have no authority to award punitive damages, except where an applicable law or statute expressly require otherwise.
Notwithstanding the rules of JAMS, certain procedures will apply depending on the amount in controversy. For Disputes in which the amount in controversy is less than USD$1,000,000.00 (one million dollars), the following procedures will apply absent mutual agreement of the Parties to the contrary:
o The arbitration will occur within 180 days from the date on which the arbitrator is appointed, and the final hearing will last no more than five business days.
o There will be one arbitrator selected from the roster of JAMS neutrals, using the JAMS rules for arbitrator selection.
o The arbitrator shall institute discovery consistent with the goals of arbitration. Discovery and disclosure of information will be conducted under the rules provided by JAMS to achieve the usual goals of arbitration, including cost effective and efficient resolution of disputes between parties.
o For controversies and claims in which the amount in controversy is equal to or exceeds USD$1,000,000.00, the following procedures will apply absent mutual agreement of the Parties to the contrary:
o There will be three arbitrators selected from the roster of JAMS neutrals, using the JAMS rules for arbitrator selection.
o The Parties will be entitled to appeal any arbitration award to an Appeal Panel under the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures. The Parties agree to request oral argument for any appeal filed under the Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures.
Except as provided herein, the arbitrator(s) shall have the exclusive power to determine and rule upon challenges to the arbitrator’s jurisdiction to preside over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this Individual Arbitration Agreement and/or to the arbitrability of any Dispute.
The Parties understand and agree that Wyld Notes has valuable trade secrets and Confidential Information, as defined in the Agreement. The Parties agree to take all necessary steps to protect from public disclosure such trade secrets and Confidential Information in any proceeding brought pursuant to this Individual Arbitration Agreement.
Costs of Arbitration: Wyld Notes shall reimburse you for all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to the provisions of this Individual Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing sentence, to the fullest extent permitted under the law, you will be responsible for all additional fees and costs incurred in the arbitration, including, without limitation, their attorney and expert witness fees and costs.
Temporary Injunctive and Enforcement Relief: Except as provided below, no Party shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any matter in dispute until such matter has been submitted and determined as provided here, and then only for the enforcement of such arbitration award. Notwithstanding this Individual Arbitration Agreement, any Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunction to ensure that the relief sought in arbitration is not rendered ineffectual during the pendency of, or after the rendition of, a decision in any arbitration proceeding. Therefore, you agrees that Wyld Notes shall be entitled to obtain preliminary injunctive relief, a temporary restraining order, specific performance, or such other equitable relief as may be required to prevent the Brand Partner from breaching or threatening to breach such provisions and covenants. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Party contests the jurisdiction of a state or federal court to preside over claims for a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief as described above, the court in which such claim is made shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether it has jurisdiction to preside and rule upon a Party’s request for the court to issue a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunction. The institution of any action shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any Party to submit any claim seeking relief other than that provided in this paragraph to arbitration.
Bellwether Arbitration Procedures: Notwithstanding any provision of the JAMS Rules, these bellwether procedures shall be used when more than 10 arbitration cases pending at the same time present substantially similar or overlapping allegations of fact or law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, a court of competent jurisdiction, and not JAMS or an arbitrator, shall resolve any dispute over whether these bellwether procedures apply to any group of claims.
The Parties recognize and agree that a large number of arbitration cases with similar allegations will impose excessive transaction costs regardless of the cases’ merit or lack of merit. The Parties also recognize and agree that it is logistically difficult or impossible to arbitrate simultaneously large numbers of substantially similar cases. The Parties therefore agree to use bellwether litigation procedures similar to those that courts use in mass-tort cases, based on the judiciary’s experience that, after one or a few cases are tried to verdict, most or all of the other cases settle or otherwise resolve themselves.
The Parties thus agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no more than 10 cases/arbitrations will be active at any one time. All remaining cases will be stayed, with the statute of limitations tolled. The Parties understand and agree that if these bellwether arbitration procedures apply, then adjudication of the Dispute may be delayed. Unless the Dispute resolves in advance, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the arbitrator(s) shall render their final and binding decision in any Dispute subject to these bellwether procedures within 180 days of the initial pre-hearing conference.
As soon as one of the original active cases is resolved (by decision, settlement, or otherwise), a stayed arbitration shall replace it on the list of 10 active cases/arbitrations. Except as provided below, cases shall be placed on or moved to the active list in the order in which demands for arbitration are first received. Until a case is on or is moved to the list of 10 active cases, the sum any Party paid to initiate a case shall be refunded, and no Party shall have any obligation to pay any JAMS or arbitrator fees.
If you claim exceptional hardship from any delay pursuant to this bellwether procedure, you may petition Wyld Notes to waive the 10-case limit for that case. If Wyld Notes does not agree, you may petition JAMS to place the case/arbitration on the list of 10 active cases, on the ground that delay will impose exceptional hardship. If JAMS finds exceptional hardship and grants the petition, JAMS shall (based on its determination of relative hardship) remove one other case from the list of 10 active cases/arbitrations and place it at the head of the list of stayed cases. Under no circumstances shall JAMS place more than 10 cases/arbitrations into active status. If more than 10 hardship applications are granted, JAMS shall determine which 10 cases/arbitrations shall proceed first, based on its determination of relative hardship.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS
YOU AND WYLD NOTES AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
Subject to the Disputes section above, these Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, including its conflicts of law rules, and the laws of the United States of America. Subject to the Disputes section above, you agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Salt Lake City, Utah.
