This Agreement contains an Arbitration provision, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you have against LaborWorx to binding and final arbitration to the extent that the laws of the jurisdiction where you reside permit the inclusion of Arbitration provision in this Agreement. You will only be permitted to pursue claims against LaborWorx on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.
If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 18 is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:
Binding Arbitration
This Section 18 is referred to in this Agreement as the “Agreement to Arbitrate”. Unless you opt-out pursuant to the opt-out procedures set forth below, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and LaborWorx or its affiliates, whether relating to our Services, this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a “Dispute”), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”),available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and LaborWorx. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and LaborWorx may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Restrictions
You and LaborWorx agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between LaborWorx and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
You and LaborWorx agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or LaborWorx intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
30 Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 18 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to info@laborworx.com or to the U.S. mailing address listed at the bottom of this Agreement. The notice must be sent to LaborWorx within thirty (30) days of your registering to use our Services or agreeing to these terms, whichever occurs first, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
- Waiver and Severability
