  • • Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.

Pineabl Co. and Freelancer mutually agree to resolve any and all covered justiciable disputes between them exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of a court or jury trial. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and applies to any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Freelancer Terms, this Arbitration Agreement, the Freelancer’s classification as an independent contractor, Freelancer’s provision of services, Freelancer’s use of the Platform, any payments made or received by Freelancer through the Platform or arising out of or relating to the acceptance or performance of services arranged through the Platform, the termination of this Agreement, and all other aspects of the Freelancer’s relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with Pineabl Co., past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law. Freelancer and Pineabl Co. agree that the mutual obligations to arbitrate disputes provide adequate consideration for this arbitration agreement.

• If either party initiates arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via U.S. Mail, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include: (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim; and (3) a description of the remedy sought. The arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.

• Class and Collective Action Waivers. Pineabl Co. and Freelancer mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action and/or collective action, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class and/or collective (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this arbitration agreement or the AAA Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class and/or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class and/or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.

• Freelancer agrees and acknowledges that entering into this arbitration agreement does not change Freelancer’s status as an independent contractor in fact and in law, that Freelancer is not an employee of Pineabl Co. and that any disputes in this regard shall be subject to arbitration as provided in this agreement.

• Except as otherwise stated in this arbitration agreement, any arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), subject to the following:

    • 1. The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator shall be an attorney experienced in the law in the underlying dispute and licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is convened, or a former judge from any jurisdiction.
    • 2. The location of the arbitration proceeding will be no more than 45 miles from the place where Freelancer last performed services for Pineabl Co., unless Freelancer and Pineabl Co. agree in writing otherwise
    • 3. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the Arbitrator, the parties agree that Company shall pay all of the Arbitrator’s fees and costs.
    • 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, 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, 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 and will apply 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. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision or award in any court having jurisdiction.
    • 8. Either Pineabl Co. or Freelancer 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 paragraph may be rendered ineffectual.

• Regardless of any other terms of this arbitration agreement, claims may be brought before, and remedies awarded by, an administrative agency if applicable law permits access to such an agency notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (such as the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Labor or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). This arbitration agreement does not apply to any claim that may not be arbitrated as provided by an Act of Congress or lawful, enforceable presidential Executive Order.

• The AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules may be found at adr.org/Rules.

• This arbitration agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this arbitration agreement. In the event any portion of this arbitration agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this arbitration agreement will be enforceable. This arbitration agreement survives after the termination of the Freelancer Terms and/or after Freelancer ceases any assignment and/or relationship with Pineabl Co.. This arbitration agreement will also continue to apply notwithstanding any change in Freelancer’s responsibilities, position, or title, or if Freelancer transfers companies. Notwithstanding any contrary language in the Freelancer Terms or in any Pineabl Co. policy or other agreement, this arbitration agreement may not be modified or terminated absent a writing signed (electronically or otherwise) by both Freelancer and an authorized representative of Pineabl Co..

Use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of Pineabl Co.’s most current pricing.
  • 4.3 Once the Customer authorizes its acceptance of a completed Work Order through the Platform in accordance with the Work Order Terms and Pineabl Co. facilitates Customer’s payment for services under the Work Order to the Freelancer, Pineabl Co. shall have no further financial obligation with respect to Customer or Freelancer under that Work Order. Any refund of amounts paid or a warranty claim related to a Work Order shall be the responsibility of the Freelancer who was paid for the services.

• Tax Reporting and Payment Obligations.

  • 5.1 As a service to registered Customers and on behalf of registered Customers, Pineabl Co. will provide Freelancers with annual 1099s and file such forms as required by the Internal Revenue Service. The filings will only be made for Freelancers who are U.S. Residents, for net fees paid to Freelancers on Work Orders sourced through the Platform, and for work done in the United States for each year that the fees paid to Freelancer for completed Work Orders exceeds $600.
  • 5.2 Subject to Section 6, Customer otherwise will be responsible for meeting any and all tax payment or reporting obligations that may be imposed by the laws of any legal jurisdiction as a result of the payment of fees or other compensation to Freelancers for services provided pursuant to Work Orders completed via the Platform.

  • 12.2 For the term of Customer’s use of the Platform and two (2) years thereafter, Customer shall not directly or indirectly: (a) solicit for employment or contract services or hire any Freelancer to perform services similar to those offered by Freelancer through the platform, except for services to be performed pursuant to Work Orders via the Platform without the prior written consent of Pineabl Co.; nor (b) take any action which interferes with the contractual relationship between Pineabl Co. and any of its Freelancers.

• Term and Termination.

These Customer Terms commence when Customer registers to use the Platform for the first time and continue in force until terminated by either party. Customer may terminate these Customer Terms immediately upon notice to Pineabl Co. at any time and for any reason. Pineabl Co. may terminate these Customer Terms immediately without any notice at any time and for any reason.

  • 16.4 Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.
     

Pineabl Co. and Customer mutually agree to resolve any and all covered justiciable disputes between them exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of a court or jury trial. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and applies to any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Customer Terms, this Arbitration Agreement, Customer’s use of the Platform, any payments made or received by Customer through the Platform or arising out of or relating to the acceptance or performance of services arranged through the Platform, the termination of this Agreement, and all other aspects of the Customer’s relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with Pineabl Co., past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law. Customer and Pineabl Co. agree that the mutual obligations to arbitrate disputes provide adequate consideration for this arbitration agreement.

1. If either party initiates arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via U.S. Mail, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include: (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim; and (3) a description of the remedy sought. The arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.

1. Class and Collective Action Waivers. Pineabl Co. and Customer mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action and/or collective action, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class and/or collective (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this arbitration agreement or the AAA Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class and/or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class and/or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.

1. Customer agrees and acknowledges that entering into this arbitration agreement does not change Customer’s status as per the Customer’s Terms of Services agreement.

1. Except as otherwise stated in this arbitration agreement, any arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), subject to the following:

1. The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator shall be an attorney experienced in the law in the underlying dispute and licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is convened, or a former judge from any jurisdiction.

2. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the Arbitrator, the parties agree that Company shall pay all of the Arbitrator’s fees and costs.

3. 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.

4. Except as provided in the Class 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, 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.

5. The Arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions.

6. The Arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision or award in any court having jurisdiction.

7. Either Pineabl Co. or Customer 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 paragraph may be rendered ineffectual.

1. Regardless of any other terms of this arbitration agreement, claims may be brought before, and remedies awarded by, an administrative agency if applicable law permits access to such an agency notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (such as the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Labor or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). This arbitration agreement does not apply to any claim that may not be arbitrated as provided by an Act of Congress or lawful, enforceable presidential Executive Order.

1. The AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules may be found at adr.org/Rules.

1. This arbitration agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this arbitration agreement. In the event any portion of this arbitration agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this arbitration agreement will be enforceable. This arbitration agreement survives after the termination of the Customer Terms and/or after Customer ceases any assignment and/or relationship with Pineabl Co.. This arbitration agreement will also continue to apply notwithstanding any change in Customer’s responsibilities, position, or title, or if Customer transfers companies. Notwithstanding any contrary language in the Customer Terms or in any Pineabl Co. policy or other agreement, this arbitration agreement may not be modified or terminated absent a writing signed (electronically or otherwise) by both Customer and an authorized representative of Pineabl Co..
