By accessing or using any services provided by LMNTL, LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), including but not limited to Minute7, Hour Timesheet, and LMNTL General Ledger (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").
If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the organization.

LMNTL provides cloud-based software solutions for:
- Minute7: Time and expense tracking with QuickBooks integration for professional services firms

Service-specific terms may apply and will be provided during registration or through applicable product documentation.
3. Service Level Agreement
3.1 Uptime Commitment
We commit to maintaining 99.9% availability for all production Services, measured monthly ("Uptime Commitment"). Availability is calculated as: ((Total Minutes in Month - Downtime Minutes) / Total Minutes in Month) x 100.
"Downtime" means a period when the Services are unavailable to you, excluding:
- Scheduled maintenance (with at least 48 hours advance notice)
- Emergency maintenance required for security or stability
- Issues caused by factors outside our reasonable control (see Force Majeure)
- Issues resulting from your equipment, software, or network connections
- Issues caused by third-party services or integrations (e.g., QuickBooks, payment processors)
3.2 Service Credits
If we fail to meet our Uptime Commitment, you may be eligible for service credits as follows:
| Monthly Uptime | Service Credit |
|---|---|
| 99.0% - 99.9% | 10% of monthly fee |
| 95.0% - 99.0% | 25% of monthly fee |
| Below 95.0% | 50% of monthly fee |
To receive a service credit, you must submit a request to support@lmntl.ai within 30 days of the incident. Service credits are applied to future invoices and do not entitle you to a cash refund. Total service credits in any month shall not exceed 50% of your monthly fee.

14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions below, any disputes arising from these Terms or the Services that are not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware.
15. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
15.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, you agree to first contact us at legal@lmntl.ai and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation within 60 days.
15.2 Binding Arbitration
If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware, unless you and LMNTL agree otherwise. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitration Fees: If you initiate arbitration, you will be responsible for paying the initial filing fee. If your claim is for less than $10,000, LMNTL will pay the remaining arbitration fees. For claims of $10,000 or more, arbitration fees will be allocated according to JAMS rules.
15.3 Class Action Waiver
IMPORTANT: YOU AND LMNTL AGREE THAT EACH PARTY 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, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable as to any particular claim, the parties agree that such claim shall be severed and litigated in court while all other claims remain subject to arbitration.
15.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
The following claims are not subject to arbitration: (a) claims for injunctive relief to prevent unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement; (b) claims that may be brought in small claims court; and (c) claims where arbitration is prohibited by applicable law.
15.5 Opt-Out Right
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@lmntl.ai within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, you and LMNTL will resolve disputes in court as described in Section 14.
