Your Agreement is a lease-purchase or rental-purchase contract with J&Y Business Group, which is the parent company of LeaseVille. This is not a loan or credit transaction. Your lease includes a 100 Day Cash Price or other early purchase options.
You understand that by signing the Agreement, LeaseVille will lease the merchandise to you.
During the term of your Lease, LeaseVille is the owner of the merchandise. Once you’ve paid your lease in full, or exercised a buyout option, ownership will transfer to you. The least expensive option to purchase under the Agreement must be exercised within 100 days of delivery. Regularly scheduled lease payments are still due even if you intend to purchase the merchandise later.
Lease payments will be deducted automatically from your bank account, charged to your card, or made at another authorized vendor or payment processor, depending upon information you gave in your Lease application. Charges will appear on your statements as J & Y Business Group or LeaseVille.
You may stop leasing at any time, without incurring a penalty, and stop any unaccrued payments by returning the merchandise to LeaseVille. You will not receive a refund if you return the merchandise early.
Your Lease Agreement includes reinstatement rights that may allow you to get returned merchandise back, as described in your Agreement.
Full terms are in your Lease Agreement, which will be e-mailed to you. The copies sent are computer-generated and may not include your signature.

and any unpaid amount you owe us.
After 100 days, your EPO Price will be 50% of your remaining balance, which is the Total Cost listed in the lease plus tax, less all rental payments made.

You can reinstate it without losing any rights or options previously acquired by making all payments due or returning the Property to us as soon as we ask you to.

OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.Agreement to Arbitrate. You and we (defined below) agree that any Dispute (defined below) will be resolved by Arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and the substantive law of the State of where you live (without applying its choice-of-law rules). Nothing in this arbitration agreement is intended to prevent either of us from filing a lawsuit in an appropriate small claims court for an amount that does not exceed the court’s jurisdictional limits. If counterclaims or other motions would cause the lawsuit to be removed from small claims court to another court, the dispute must be resolved by arbitration.What Arbitration Is. “Arbitration” is a means of having an independent third party resolve a Dispute. A “Dispute” is any claim or controversy of any kind between you and us. The term Dispute is to be given its broadest possible meaning and includes, without limitation, all claims or demands (whether past, present, or future, including events that occurred prior to origination of your Rental-Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) and whether or not an Agreement is provided to you, based on any legal or equitable theory (contract, tort, or otherwise) and regardless of the type of relief sought (i.e., money, injunctive relief, or declaratory relief). A Dispute includes, by way of example and without limitation, any claim based upon a federal or state constitution, statute, ordinance, regulation, or common law, and any issue concerning the validity, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration agreement. For purposes of this arbitration agreement, the terms “you” and “your” include any co-signer, co-obligor, or guarantor and also your heirs, guardian, personal representative, or trustee in bankruptcy. The terms “we,” “our,” and “us” mean Lessor and include Lessor’s employees, officers, directors, members, managers, attorneys, affiliated companies, predecessors, and assigns, as well as Lessor’s marketing, servicing, and collection representatives and agents.How Arbitration Works. If a Dispute arises, the party asserting the claim or demand must initiate arbitration, provided you or we may first try to resolve the matter informally or through customary business methods, including collection activity. The party filing an arbitration must choose either of the following arbitration firms for initiating and pursuing an arbitration: the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS, The Resolution Experts (“JAMS”). If the parties mutually agree, a private party, such as a retired judge, may serve as the arbitrator. If you claim you have a Dispute with us, but do not initiate an arbitration or select an arbitrator, we may do so. You may obtain copies of the current rules of each of the arbitration firms and forms and instructions for initiating an arbitration by contacting them as follows:

The policies and procedures of the selected arbitration firm will apply provided such policies and procedures are consistent with this arbitration agreement. To the extent the arbitration firm’s rules or procedures are different than the terms of this arbitration agreement, the terms of this arbitration agreement will apply.
What Arbitration Costs. No matter which party initiates the arbitration, we will advance or reimburse filing fees and other costs or fees of arbitration, provided each party will be initially responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and related costs. Unless prohibited by law, the arbitrator may award fees, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the party who substantially prevails in the arbitration.

Waiver of Rights. You are waiving your right to a jury trial, to have a court decide your Dispute, to participate in a class action lawsuit, and to certain discovery and other procedures that are available in a lawsuit. You and we agree that the arbitrator has no authority to conduct class-wide arbitration proceedings and is only authorized to resolve the individual Disputes between you and us. The validity, effect, and enforceability of this waiver of class action lawsuit and class-wide arbitration, if challenged, are to be determined solely by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by the AAA, JAMS, or an arbitrator. If such court refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide arbitration, the Dispute will proceed in court and be decided by a judge, sitting without a jury, according to applicable court rules and procedures, and not as a class action lawsuit. The arbitrator has the ability to award all remedies available by statute, at law, or in equity to the prevailing party.
Applicable Law and Review of Arbitrator’s Award. The arbitrator shall apply applicable federal and the substantive law of the state where you live and the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator must apply the terms of this arbitration agreement, including without limitation the waiver of class-wide arbitration. The arbitrator shall make written findings and the arbitrator’s award may be filed with any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration award shall be supported by substantial evidence and must be consistent with this Agreement and with applicable law, and if it is not, it may be set aside by a court.
The parties shall have, in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying, or correcting an award, the right to judicial review of (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrator are supported by substantial evidence and (b) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the substantive law of the state where you live and applicable federal law. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines that the award is supported by substantial evidence and is not based on legal error under the substantive law of the state where you live and applicable federal law.
Survival. This arbitration provision shall survive: (1) cancellation, payment, charge-off, or assignment of this Agreement; (2) the bankruptcy of any party; and (3) any transfer, sale, or assignment of this Agreement, or any amounts owed under this Agreement, to any other person or entity.
Right to Opt-Out. If you do not wish to agree to arbitrate all Disputes in accordance with the terms and conditions of this section, you must advise us in writing at our address, above, by either hand delivery or a letter postmarked no later than thirty (30) days following the date you enter into this Agreement. You may opt-out without affecting your application or status as a lessee at our address above.
21. EFT and Card Charge Authorization: You authorize us to initiate an electronic fund transfer ("EFT") over the ACH network (or another network of our choosing) from the Bank Account (or, if a Bank Account is not specified below, any bank account you subsequently authorize us to debit) for any scheduled payment you owe under this Lease on or after its due date. In the event that this EFT is returned unpaid, or if you have not authorized us to debit a Bank Account, you authorize us to charge your Card (or, if a Card is not specified below, any card you subsequently authorize us to charge) for such payment. You also authorize us to initiate a separate EFT or to charge such Card for any late payment fee that you owe under this Lease. You agree that we may resubmit any returned EFT or Card charge as permitted by law and network rules. We are not responsible for any bank fees you incur in connection with returned payments. Instead of or in addition to any of the EFTs and Card charges described in this section, you also authorize us to process any EFTs or Card charges you subsequently confirm by phone or email. In the event that we make an error in processing an EFT or Card charge, you authorize us to initiate an EFT or Card charge to correct the error. You may change your scheduled payment dates with our permission (which we will typically grant if the new payments coincide with the dates you receive payments and do not materially increase the Lease term), terminate your authorization to initiate EFTs and to charge the Card or update any Bank Account and Card information by calling us at (310) 231-6838, emailing us at [email protected] or writing us at 1925 Century Park East 17th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90067. We will honor your termination or modification request so long as you make this request at least five business days before the scheduled payment or far enough in advance for us to reasonably act on it. If any payment cannot be obtained by EFT or Card charge, you remain responsible for such payment. You authorize us to create and process drafts against the Bank Account if you terminate this authorization.
