“hausdirect” is a Tiphaus product offering to facilitate the payout deposit by employers of all payable tips to you directly to a debit Card on File. To sign up for hausdirect, you must access the Tiphaus Employee App and create an online account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself, including full name, card information, and billing address (“Your Content”). You represent that you own or have the necessary permissions to use and authorize the use of Your Content as described herein. Each transactional payout utilizing hausdirect is preconditioned on an OFAC verification. You are responsible for maintaining accurate account information at all times, and for maintaining the confidentiality of your Content and Account password. You are solely responsible for Your Content and Tiphaus assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with Your Content. The recipient’s name on any such payout payments must match the name of the individual with the debit Card on File. Any such deposits received in a name other than the name registered to the Account may be returned to the originator. Deposits may be available within minutes of a successful transaction, however there may be times when such transactions are delayed due to network timing or other factors. These transactions are final and non-refundable.
You are also responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your Account, and you agree to notify Tiphaus experience team immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You may not create or use an Account for anyone other than yourself. You may not impersonate someone else, provide an email address other than your own, create multiple Accounts, or transfer your Account to another person. You may only have one (1) debit Card on File, which can be edited or deleted. Certain cards may have restrictions or not be compatible.
hausdirect is a fee-based service. Certain fees, charged on a per-transaction basis, may be applicable to you, as determined solely by the employer. Please verify with the employer whether fees may apply. You may elect to sign up for hausmoney, with no applicable fees related to the payout of tips. Third party institutions may impose their own fees, per transaction, daily, weekly or monthly limits on the frequency or amount of cash that will be debited from the payout amount.
The payout and remittance of any and all earned tips is solely the responsibility of the employer. In the event there is an issue with the payout of tips, including no payment at all, you are required to first contact either the receiving bank associated with the Card on File, or the employer paying party. hausdirect support is limited to establishing a Card on File, deleting a Card on File, assisting in the registration process, advising on payout activity, and posting, opting out of hausdirect, and assistance with converting to hausmoney.

a.
Initial Dispute Resolution.
If a dispute arises between you and Tiphaus pertaining to these Terms and your use of hausdirect, the party raising the dispute must notify the other party in writing, or in your case, you may contact the Tiphaus experience team at experience@tiphaus.com. For a period of at least forty-five (45) days following such notification, we will use good faith efforts to settle such dispute, which shall be a condition to either party initiating binding arbitration.
b.
Binding Arbitration.
If the parties do not reach a resolution to a dispute after at least forty-five (45) days of good faith efforts with hausdirect’s experience team, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of hausdirect, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Any arbitration hereunder will be held exclusively in the State of Washington, United States. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
c.
No Class Action.
The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND TIPHAUS 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. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
d.
Access to Courts.
The parties understand that, absent the mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. Notwithstanding the parties' agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in U.S. state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights) or otherwise seek injunctive relief. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Tiphaus agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of any venue in the federal and state courts located in the state of Washington, United States. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
e.
Controlling Law.
These Terms and any action related thereto, including arbitration, will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of law provisions to the contrary.
These Terms may be revised periodically by our posting of an updated version on our website or in our mobile applications. You are responsible for checking these Terms and the

The Terms, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, special or fiduciary relationship exists between you and Tiphaus as a result of these Terms or your use of hausdirect.
