17. Mutual Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
- Arbitration of Disputes. The Parties mutually agree to resolve any and all disputes between them or between You and Company or any of Company’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, and/or agents exclusively through final, binding, and individual arbitration instead of filing a lawsuit in court (except as otherwise provided below). However, this Mutual Arbitration Provision does not cover disputes that, as a matter of law, may not be subject to arbitration agreements.
- Arbitration Governed by the FAA. Company and You expressly agree that this Mutual Arbitration and Dispute Resolution provision is a licensing agreement governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”), evidences a transaction involving commerce, and is not a contract of employment involving any class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce within the meaning of Section 1 of the FAA. Company and You expressly agree that the FAA shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, and that the FAA shall apply to any and all disputes between the Parties, including but not limited to those arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Your classification status as a worker or service provider (e.g., an alleged employment relationship), Your provision of Services under this Agreement, the remuneration paid or received by You under this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement, the suspension or deactivation of Your Company Account, and all other aspects of Your relationship with Company, past or present, whether arising under federal, state, or local law, including without limitation harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation claims and claims arising under or related to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (or its state or local equivalents), Americans with Disabilities Act (or its state or local equivalents), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (or its state or local equivalents), Family Medical Leave Act (or its state or local equivalents), Fair Labor Standards Act (or its state or local equivalents), state and local wage and hour laws, state and local statutes, ordinances, or regulations addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal, state, and/or local claims arising out of or relating to Your relationship or termination of that relationship with Company . The Parties expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the FAA even in the event You and/or Company are otherwise exempted from the FAA. Any disputes in this regard shall be resolved exclusively by an arbitrator. In the event, but only in the event, the arbitrator determines the FAA does not apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which You perform Services shall apply.
- Delegation. Only an arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, including without limitation any dispute concerning arbitrability. However, the preceding clause shall not apply to any dispute relating to or arising out of the Class Action Waiver and/or Representative PAGA Action Waiver—including, but not limited to, any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver and/or Representative PAGA Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, illegal, void, or voidable—which must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be heard or arbitrated by an arbitrator. The Parties agree that any and all due dates for arbitration fees shall be tolled while the Parties resolve a dispute relating to or arising out of the Class Action Waiver or Representative PAGA Action Waiver.
- Informal Dispute Resolution. Before commencing individual arbitration, the Parties must engage in a good-faith effort to resolve any claim covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference between You and Company. The informal telephonic dispute resolution conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either Party intends to commence individual arbitration. The Party initiating the claim must give notice to the other Party in writing of its, his, or her intent to initiate an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, which shall occur between thirty (30) and sixty (60) days of the other Party receiving such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the Parties. In the interval between the Party receiving such notice and the informal telephonic dispute resolution conference (“Negotiation Period”), nothing in either this Mutual Arbitration Provision specifically or this Agreement generally shall prohibit the Parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating Party’s claims. Engaging in an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference is a condition precedent that must be fulfilled before commencing individual arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the Parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
- Initiating Arbitration. Only after the Parties have engaged in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, and only if those efforts fail, either You or Company may initiate arbitration by notifying the other Party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of the Party seeking arbitration (if You are seeking arbitration, the email address provided must be the email address associated with Your Company Account); (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; and (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, enumerated in United States Dollars (any request for injunctive relief or attorneys’ fees shall not count toward the calculation of the amount in controversy unless such injunctive relief seeks the payment of money); (4) the original personal signature of the Party seeking arbitration; and (5) the Party’s portion of any applicable filing fee. Any demand for arbitration by You must be delivered to Rock Staffing, Attn: Legal Department, 2111 Austell Rd, Ste A Marietta, GA 30008.
- CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Company and You mutually agree that any and all disputes or claims between the Parties will be resolved in individual arbitration. The Parties further agree that by entering into this Agreement, they waive the right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative, or mass action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective, representative, and/or mass action, or to award relief to anyone but the individual in arbitration (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this subsection shall not apply to representative private attorneys general act claims brought against Company, which are addressed separately below. This Class Action Waiver does not prevent You or Company from participating in a classwide settlement that would resolve or release the relevant claims.
- Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules where agreed upon by both parties) (“JAMS Rules”), except as follows: (1) Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the arbitrator, Company and You shall equally share filing fees and other similar and usual administrative costs, that are commonly shared in both court and administrative proceedings, such as court reporter costs and transcript fees. Company shall pay any costs that are uniquely associated with arbitration, such as payment of the arbitrator and room rental; (2) If a Party timely serves an offer of judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68, or any other state-law equivalent, and the judgment that the other Party finally obtains is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, then the other Party shall pay the costs, including filing fees, incurred after the offer was made; (3) Both Parties agree not to oppose or interfere with any negotiations or agreements between the other Party and the arbitration administrator, or individual arbitrator, relating to a Party’s portion of the fees. The arbitrator, however, may disallow any private agreement between an administrator, on the one hand, and the negotiating party, on the other hand, if the arbitrator believes that the private agreement undermines his or her neutrality as arbitrator; (4) The arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third-parties) allowing the Parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each Party to prepare that Party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes; (5) Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a Party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, including but not limited to the imposition of sanctions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable; (6) The arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment. An arbitrator may not permit the filing of a motion for summary judgment until after the Parties have conducted discovery to support their claims and defenses. Any motion to dismiss and/or motion for summary judgment shall otherwise be governed by the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions; (7) The arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law; (8) Any finding that a claim or counterclaim was filed for purposes of harassment or is frivolous shall entitle the other Party to recover its, his, or her attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses; (9) Either Company or You may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this Section 11 may be rendered ineffectual; and (10) The arbitrator may consider, but under no circumstances is the arbitrator bound by, decisions reached in separate arbitrations. If at any time the arbitrator or arbitration administrator fails to enforce the terms of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, either Party may seek to enjoin the arbitration proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the arbitration shall automatically be stayed pending the outcome of that proceeding.
- Agency Investigations. Regardless of any other terms of this Agreement, nothing prevents You from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and nothing in this Agreement or Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim, or charge otherwise covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. This Mutual Arbitration Provision also does not prevent federal administrative agencies from adjudicating claims and awarding remedies based on the claims addressed in this Section 11, even if the claims would otherwise be covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Nothing in this Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents or excuses a Party from satisfying any conditions precedent and/or exhausting administrative remedies under applicable law or as required under this Agreement before bringing a claim in arbitration. Company will not retaliate against You for filing a claim with an administrative agency or for exercising rights (individually or in concert with others) under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.
- No Change To Professional Status. You agree and acknowledge that entering into this Mutual Arbitration Provision does not change Your status as an independent contractor in fact and/or in law.
- Opt Out. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of Your contractual relationship with Company, and therefore You may opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision. In order to opt out, You must notify Company of Your intention to opt out by submitting to Company, via USPS Priority Mail or hand delivery to ReadyStaff, Attn: Legal Department, a written notice identifying the email address and telephone number associated with Your Company account and stating that You are opting out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision. This written notice must be signed by You, and not any attorney, agent, or other representative of Yours. In order to be effective, Your opt-out notice must be postmarked or received by Company within thirty (30) days of Your creating an Account, or the effective date of these Terms, whichever is later. If You opt out as provided in this subparagraph, You will not be subject to any adverse action as a consequence of that decision and may pursue available legal remedies without regard to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. If You do not opt out within thirty (30) days of creating an Account, Your failure to do so shall constitute mutual acceptance of the terms of this Mutual Arbitration Provision by Company and You.
- If You opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, and at the time of Your receipt of this Agreement You were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate disputes arising out of or relating to Your use of the Services, then that existing arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and, unless provided by the prior agreement, either Party may apply to a court under 9 U.S.C. § 5 for an order appointing an arbitrator or arbitration provider to resolve in individual arbitration the Parties’ disputes arising out of or relating to such existing agreement to arbitrate.
- You may only opt out on behalf of Yourself. A written notice submitted to Company indicating Your intention to opt out may apply, at most, to You. You (and Your agent or representative) may not effectuate an opt out on behalf of other Professionals.
- Your decision to opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will relieve You only of Your obligation to arbitrate the disputes specified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision, and does not relieve You of any obligation to arbitrate disputes not specified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision that might arise under any Company Terms of Service to which You may be bound. Similarly, Your decision to opt out of another arbitration provision contained in any other agreement shall not relieve You of Your obligation to arbitrate disputes pursuant to this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
- Impact on Pending Litigation. This Mutual Arbitration Provision shall not affect Your standing with respect to any litigation between Company and You that is already pending in a federal or state court or arbitration as of the date of Your receipt of this Mutual Arbitration Provision (“Pending Litigation”). This subsection shall not apply to any litigation between Company and You that is filed in a federal or state court or arbitration at any point after Your receipt of this Mutual Arbitration Provision; such actions shall be subject to mutual arbitration. Thus:
- If You are or previously were authorized to use the Platform, and at the time of Your receipt of this Mutual Arbitration Provision You were not bound by an existing arbitration agreement, You shall remain eligible to participate in any Pending Litigation to which You were a party or participant regardless of whether You opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
- If, at the time of Your receipt of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, You were bound by an existing arbitration agreement with Company , that arbitration agreement shall continue to apply to any Pending Litigation, even if You opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
- If, at the time of Your receipt of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, You were not previously a Professional authorized to use the Platform, then this Mutual Arbitration shall apply to all covered disputes and any Pending Litigation unless You timely opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
- Right To Consult With An Attorney: You have the right to consult with private counsel of Your choice, at Your own expense, with respect to any aspect of, or any claim that may be subject to this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
- Severability. In the event any section, subsection, or portion of this Mutual Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, it shall be severed from the Agreement such that the remainder of this Mutual Arbitration Provision shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, mass, or representative action, and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver and/or Representative Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, the class, collective, mass, or representative action to that extent must be severed and litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver that is valid and enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
19. Modification of Terms
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these Terms, and any other documents incorporated by reference herein, at any time and without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon posting, except as set forth herein. In the case of a material change to the Terms, including a material change to the Mutual Arbitration Provision, Company will notify You of changes by posting on the Company Website, sending You a message, and/or otherwise notifying You when You are logged into Your account. Such modifications will become effective thirty (30) days after the earliest of: (a) the modification being posted in the Services; or (b) Company’s transmission of a message to and/or otherwise notifying You about the modifications (collectively, the “Notice Period”). Your continued use of the Service after the Notice Period shall constitute Your consent to the changes. If You do not agree, You cannot use the Services. You acknowledge and agree that if Company modifies any provision of these Terms (including any information referenced at hyperlinks), other than the Mutual Arbitration Provision, You will not have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration.
