DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

OUR SITE AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ā€œAS ISā€, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, QUIET ENJOYMENT OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. We make no warranty that the services or products available on the Site will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SITE AND WITH OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS PROVIDED TO YOU.

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, ITS CONTENT, OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FROM YOUR PURCHASE OF ANY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS VIA THE SITE, OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID OR OWE FOR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS PURCHASED VIA THE SITE IN THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO YOUR CLAIM OF LIABILITY. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND RANPAK. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER RANPAK, OUR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING CONTENT ON THE SITE WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COMPENSATORY, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES), HOWEVER CAUSED OR UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY ā€“ EVEN OUR OWN ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE ā€“ ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH: (I) THE SITE; (II) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE; (III) THE USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION DISPLAYED IN OR ON THE SITE; (IV) THE PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS THROUGH THE SITE OR OTHERWISE; (V) UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OR LOSS OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OF DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT IS SENT TO OR RECEIVED BY THE SITE; (VI) ERRORS, SYSTEM DOWN TIME, NETWORK OR SYSTEM OUTAGES, FILE CORRUPTION, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS; OR (VII) OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE, EVEN IF WE OR OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR LOSSES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THE NEGATION OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND RANPAK. ACCESS TO THE SITE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED TO YOU WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU IN THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS TO RANPAK FOR ANY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY US THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR OTHERWISE.

WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY AMOUNT FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THESE TERMS IF SUCH FAILURE IS CAUSED BY THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY UNFORESEEN CONTINGENCY BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INTERNET OUTAGES, COMMUNICATIONS OUTAGES, FIRE, FLOOD OR WAR.

The terms of this section survive any termination of these Terms.

TERMINATION

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, to terminate your ability to use the Site and to block and prevent future access to and use of the Site. You agree that we will not be liable for any termination of your use of or access to the Site.

NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

We and you are the only parties entitled to enforce these Terms. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and Ranpak. You also agree that if we assign, transfer, or sub-contract any of our rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party in writing, such third party may enforce the Terms that are assigned, transferred, or sub-contracted.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OUR SERVICES, PRODUCTS, THESE TERMS, INCLUDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION, OR VALIDITY THEREOF OR THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE (COLLECTIVELY, ā€œDISPUTESā€) WILL BE SETTLED BY CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION, EXCEPT THAT each party retains the right to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a partyā€™s copyrights, trademark, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii) an ā€œIP Protection Actionā€). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in Cleveland, Ohio and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

You acknowledge and agree that both you and Ranpak are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class representative or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless we both otherwise agree in writing, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one personā€™s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this ā€œDispute Resolutionā€ section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this ā€œDispute Resolutionā€ section will survive termination of these Terms.

We both agree that these Terms should be interpreted and enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Ā§Ā§ 1, et seq.) because they memorialise a transaction in interstate commerce. This section will survive termination of these Terms.

ARBITRATION RULES

The arbitration will be administered and governed by the Comprehensive or Expedited Arbitration Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), whichever is appropriate and in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the ā€œJAMS Proceduresā€), which are available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling +1-800-352-5267.

The parties expressly agree that JAMS may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration will be limited to the resolution of individual claims only.

DISPUTE NOTICE AND ARBITRATION PROCESS

Prior to initiating an arbitration proceeding, you must first send Ranpak a written statement setting forth your name, address, and telephone number, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested (ā€œDispute Statementā€). The Dispute Statement to Ranpak must be emailed to ir@ranpak.com. If we are unable to resolve your claim within thirty (30) days, then either party that desires to initiate an arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the JAMS Procedures.

An arbitrator, and not any national/federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes relating to Ranpakā€™s services and products, as well as 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 is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the JAMS arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is an IP Protection Action.

ARBITRATION LOCATION AND PROCEDURE

Unless the parties otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed US$10,000, then: (i) the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents the parties submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary; and (ii) if there is a hearing, you may choose whether to participate in person or by telephone. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Procedures. Subject to the JAMS Procedures, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration.

ARBITRATORā€™S DECISION

The arbitratorā€™s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions of law upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgement on the arbitration may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof. The arbitratorā€™s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the ā€œDisclaimer of Warrantiesā€ and ā€œLimitations of Liabilityā€ sections above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory and injunctive relief only in favour of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimantā€™s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of legal fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Ranpak will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, legal fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

FEES

We will pay or (if applicable) reimburse you for all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or Ranpak pursuant to the terms of this section.

TIME LIMIT FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES

The parties agree that any cause of action either may have with respect to the Site or our services, products and Content must be commenced within one (1) year after the Dispute arises, notwithstanding any statutes of limitations to the contrary. Many statesā€™ laws set statutes of limitations that are longer than one (1) year. If you live in a state that has statutes of limitations that are longer than one (1) year, by agreeing to these Terms, you are agreeing to shorten the time you have to bring a claim. This means that if you wait longer than one (1) year to initiate arbitration under this section, you will lose some or all rights you may have to any recovery, including the right to recover damages, in connection with a Dispute.

The terms of this Dispute Resolution section survive any termination of these Terms.

RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OR REJECT FUTURE CHANGES TO DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION

You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure or waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section by sending a written letter to Ranpak at Ranpak Holdings Corp., 7990 Auburn Road, PO Box 8004, Concord Township, OH 44077, or by email to ir@ranpak.com, within thirty (30) days of your first visit to and use of the Site that specifies your: (i) name; (ii) postal address; and (iii) request to be excluded from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure or waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section. In the event you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms and conditions of these Terms will continue to apply. If you do not so opt-out, then the terms of this ā€œDispute Resolutionā€ section will apply.

Notwithstanding the provisions of ā€œChanges to Terms of Useā€ section above, if Ranpak changes this ā€œDispute Resolutionā€ section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change by sending Ranpak written notice (including by email to ir@ranpak.com) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the ā€œLast Updatedā€ date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Ranpak in accordance with the provisions of this ā€œDispute Resolutionā€ section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

GENERAL TERMS

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Ranpak and you regarding the Site and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between you and Ranpak regarding the Content or the Site. If, for any reason, any provision of these Terms is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms without such consent will be null and of no effect. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Ranpak under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) by Ranpak via email; or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date we transmit such notice.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
