    11. Financial Terms. 11.1. Service Fee Calculation and Contractor’s Payment. Contractor is entitled to charge a service fee for each instance of completed Technician Services provided to a User obtained via the Company Services (the “Service Fee”), whereby such Service Fee is calculated by the Company based upon the Contractor’s level of expertise and the amount of time the Contractor spends providing the Technician Services to the User in the applicable Territory. Contractor: (a) appoints Company as Contractor’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Service Fee from the User on Contractor’s behalf via the payment processing functionality facilitated by the Company Services; and (b) agrees that payment made by User to Company shall be considered the same as payment made directly by User to Contractor. In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that as between Contractor and Company, the Service Fee is a recommended amount, and the primary purpose of the pre-arranged Service Fee is to act as the default amount in the event Contractor does not negotiate a different amount. Contractor shall always have the right to: (a) charge a Service Fee that is less than the pre-arranged Service Fee; or (b) negotiate, at Contractor’s request, a Service Fee that is lower than the prearranged Service Fee (each of (a) and (b) herein, a “Negotiated Service Fee”). Company shall consider all such requests from Contractor in good faith. Company agrees to remit to Contractor on at least a weekly basis: (a) the Service Fee less the applicable Company Fee (as defined below) and (b) depending on the region, certain taxes and ancillary fees. 11.2. Changes to Service Fee Calculation. Company reserves the right to change the Service Fee calculation at any time in Company’s discretion based upon local market factors, and Company will provide Contractor with notice in the event of such change that would result in a change in the recommended Service Fee for each instance of completed Technician Services. Continued use of the Company Services after any such change in the Service Fee Calculation shall constitute Contractor’s consent to such change. 11.3. Service Fee Adjustment. Company reserves the right to: (a) adjust the Service Fee for a particular instance of Technician Services (e.g., Contractor was inefficient in providing the Technician Services, Contractor failed to resolve the User’s issue, Contractor and User failed to properly end a particular instance of Technician Services in the Technician App, technical error in the Company Services, etc.); or (b) cancel the Service Fee for a particular instance of Technician Services (e.g., User is charged for Technician Services that were not provided, in the event of a User complaint, fraud, etc.). Company’s decision to reduce or cancel the Service Fee in any such manner shall be exercised in a reasonable manner. 11.4. Service Fee. In consideration of Company’s provision of the Technician App and the Company Services for Contractor’s use and benefit hereunder, Contractor agrees to pay Company a service fee on a per Technician Services transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Service Fee (regardless of any Negotiated Service Fee), as provided or otherwise made available by Company from time to time for the applicable Territory (“Company Fee”). In the event regulations applicable to Contractor’s Territory require taxes to be imputed in the Service Fee, Company shall calculate the Company Fee based on the Service Fee net of such taxes. Company reserves the right to change the Company Fee at any time in Company’s discretion based upon local market factors, and Company will provide Contractor with notice in the event of such change. Continued use of the Company Services after any such change in the Company Fee calculation shall constitute Contractor’s consent to such change. 11.5. Cancellation Charges. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Users may elect to cancel requests for Technician Services that have been accepted by Contractor via the Technician App at any time prior to Contractor’s arrival. In the event that a User cancels an accepted request for Technician Services, Company may charge the User a cancellation fee on Contractor’s behalf. If charged, this cancellation fee shall be deemed the Service Fee for the cancelled Technician Services for the purpose of remittance to Contractor hereunder. 11.6. Receipts. As part of the Company Services, Company provides Contractor a system for the delivery of receipts to Users for Technician Services rendered. Upon Contractor’s completion of Technician Services for a User, Company prepares an applicable receipt and issues such receipt to the User via email on Contractor’s behalf. Such receipts are also provided to Contractor via email or online portal. Receipts include the breakdown of amounts charged to the User for Technician Services and may include specific information about Contractor, including Contractor’s name, contact information and photo. Any corrections to a User’s receipt for Technician Services must be submitted to Company in writing within three (3) business days after the completion of such Technician Services. Absent such a notice, Company shall not be liable for any mistakes in or corrections to the receipt. 11.7. Taxes. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Contractor is responsible for collecting and remitting all applicable gross receipts, sales and use, excise or any other transaction tax on the provision of Technician Services.

    12. Proprietary Information. 12.1. Confidentiality. During and after the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall hold in strict confidence all Proprietary Information and take the same precautions as Contractor employs to safeguard its own confidential information, but in no event shall Contractor exercise less than a reasonable degree of care. Contractor shall not use, disclose or reveal any Proprietary Information (or any information derived therefrom) to any person or entity, except on a “need to know” basis or for any purpose, except for Contractor’s use as necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Technician Services. Contractor agrees that if and to the extent that Contractor received access to any information from or on behalf of the Company that would have been Proprietary Information if Contractor received such information during the term of this Agreement then any such information shall be deemed Proprietary Information. 12.2. Exceptions. Contractor’s obligations under Section 12.1 shall not apply to any information that Contractor demonstrates by written evidence: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Contractor; (b) is already in the possession of Contractor without restriction on use or disclosure at the time of the Company’s disclosure to Contractor; or (c) is lawfully obtained by Contractor from a third party, without any obligation of confidentiality, that is entitled to disclose such information. In addition, Contractor may disclose such parts of Proprietary Information as may be required by law or court order; provided that, to the extent not prohibited under applicable law, Contractor provides the Company prompt written notice of such requirement. 12.3. Remedies. Contractor acknowledges that the Company will suffer immediate, irreparable harm in the event Contractor fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 12, and monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate the Company for such breach. Contractor agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to equitable relief, including temporary and permanent injunctive relief, (without the requirement of posting a bond or other form of security) to restrain any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Contractor represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) it has the right to enter into and fully perform its obligations under this Agreement and to grant the rights granted to the Company hereunder; (b) any and all information, code, programs, processes, practices and techniques which it will describe, demonstrate, divulge, use, or in any other manner make known to the Company during the performance of the Technician Services may be divulged and freely used by the Company, without any obligation to any third party, or violation of any right of any third party, and without violation of any law or obligation to pay any royalty, fee or charge; and (c) Contractor will not improperly use, disclose or induce the Company to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any third party with which Contractor has an obligation to keep such proprietary information or trade secrets in confidence and Contractor’s performance of all of the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information or trade secrets acquired by Contractor in confidence or in trust from any third party.

  • ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

    ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

    • In the event of a dispute between the parties, the parties agree to resolve the dispute as described in this provision (“the Arbitration Agreement”). This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) and evidences a transaction involving commerce. If the Federal Arbitration Act is held not to apply, the arbitration laws of the state in which TECHNICIAN performs IT services pursuant to this Agreement shall apply. This Arbitration Agreement applies to any dispute brought by either party arising out of or related to the Client Referral Agreement, including termination of the relationship. The provisions of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain in force after the parties’ contractual relationship ends. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE ALL SUCH DISPUTES, THE PARTIES TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AGREE THAT ALL SUCH DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY WAY OF A COURT OR JURY TRIAL.

    • Unless carved out below, claims involving the following disputes shall be subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement regardless of whether brought by TECHNICIAN, IMOUNT SERVICES or any agent acting on behalf of either: (1) disputes arising out of or related to this Referral Agreement and the relationship created thereby, including termination of the relationship and/or Agreement; (2) disputes arising out of or related to TECHNICIAN’s performance of services pursuant to this Agreement; and (3) disputes arising out of or relating to IMOUNT SERVICES’s performance of the referral services contemplated by this Agreement; and (4) disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation or application of this Arbitration Agreement, but not as to the enforceability, revocability or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement also applies, without limitation, to disputes regarding any federal, state or municipal law regulating employment relationships, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, meal or rest periods, expense reimbursement, uniform maintenance, training, termination, discrimination or harassment and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Affordable Care Act, Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other similar federal and state statutory and common law claims (excluding workers’ compensation, state disability insurance and unemployment insurance claims).

    • This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to claims for worker’s compensation, state disability insurance, or unemployment insurance benefits, and any claims brought under the Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”). 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 this agreement to arbitrate. Such administrative claims include without limitation claims or charges brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (www.eeoc.gov), the U.S. Department of Labor (www.dol.gov), the National Labor Relations Board (www.nlrb.gov), and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (www.dol.gov/esa/ofccp). Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement or this Client Referral Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. Claims that may be adjudicated in small claims court shall also be excluded from coverage by this Arbitration Agreement.

    • ARBITRATION PROCEDURE: Binding arbitration, using a single Arbitrator, shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or any other neutral person or organization selected by mutual consent of both parties to this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of IMOUNT SERVICES and TECHNICIAN. Unless IMOUNT SERVICES and TECHNICIAN mutually agree otherwise, the Arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed to practice in the location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. If for any reason the parties cannot agree to an Arbitrator, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with authority over the location where the arbitration will be conducted for appointment of a neutral Arbitrator. The court shall then appoint an Arbitrator, who shall act under this Arbitration Agreement with the same force and effect as if the parties had selected the Arbitrator by mutual agreement. All proceedings will be conducted in Chicago, Illinois, unless the parties agree to another location in writing. The AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules or their AAA equivalent then in effect shall apply; in the event of a conflict between that set of rules and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. Information may be obtained and claims may be filed at any office of the AAA at www.adr.org. A final allocation of arbitration fees and costs shall be made by the Arbitrator applying substantive legal principle and the allocation of costs under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys' and expert fees, and other expenses, unless shifted by the Arbitrator applying any required substantive legal principle.

    • In arbitration, the parties shall have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the Arbitrator.

    • The Arbitrator's award shall be final and binding. Any federal or state court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award. IMOUNT SERVICES and TECHNICIAN find and agree that this Agreementrelates to and arises out of a matter affecting and influencing interstate commerce, accordingly the Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.

    • MAKING A DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION: A demand for arbitration must be in writing and delivered by hand or first class mail to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period. The Arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration. Any demand for arbitration must be made to IMOUNT SERVICES at 1022 McAlister, North Chicago, IL 60064.

    • CLASS and COLLECTIVE ACTION WAIVER: TECHNICIAN AND IMOUNT SERVICES AGREE TO BRING ANY DISPUTE IN ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION BASIS. ACCORDINGLY:

    • Class Action Waiver: There shall be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action (“Class Action Waiver”). The Class Action Waiver shall not be severable from this Arbitration Agreement in any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable. In such instances, the class action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.

    • Collective Action Waiver: There shall be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a collective action (“Collective Action Waiver”). The Collective Action Waiver shall not be severable from this Arbitration Agreement in any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Collective Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable. In such instances, the collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.

    • TECHNICIAN shall not be retaliated against, penalized or threatened with possible penalty as a result of any attempt by TECHNICIAN to exercise rights protected under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, including the filing of or participation in a class or collective action. However, IMOUNT SERVICES may lawfully seek enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and the Class Action Waiver and Collective Action waiver and seek dismissal of such class or collective action claims. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Arbitration Agreement, any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver or Collective Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an Arbitrator. The Class Action Waiver and Collective Action Waiver shall be severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.

    • ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND ARBITRATION COSTS: Each party shall pay the fees for its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. Costs incidental to the arbitration, including the cost of the Arbitrator and the meeting site (“Arbitration Costs”), will be borne by IMOUNT SERVICES and TECHNICIAN equally, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Any dispute regarding a party’s obligation to pay Arbitration Costs shall be determined by the Arbitrator. In the event TECHNICIAN contends that, as a matter of law, it is not responsible for payment of any Arbitration Costs, TECHNICIAN shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the contested Arbitration Costs until, and only if, the Arbitrator determines that TECHNICIAN is responsible for the costs. If necessary for arbitration of the dispute, IMOUNT SERVICES agrees to cover the amount of the Arbitration Costs contested by TECHNICIAN until such time as the Arbitrator determines payment responsibility. If the Arbitrator determines that TECHNICIAN is responsible for any amount of the Arbitration Costs already paid by IMOUNT SERVICES, TECHNICIAN shall remit payment of that amount to IMOUNT SERVICES within 30 days of the Arbitrator’s determination.

    • POST-ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: Within 30 days of the close of the arbitration hearing (which period may be extended by stipulation of the parties), any party shall have the right to prepare, serve on the other party and file with the Arbitrator a post-arbitration brief. The Arbitrator may award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in his or her or its individual capacity in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the Arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual in a court of law will be forfeited by virtue of this Arbitration Agreement. The Arbitrator shall issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be permitted or required by law, as determined by the Arbitrator, neither a party nor an Arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the parties. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter a judgment upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration.

    • APPLICATION TO EXISTING CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES: This Arbitration Agreement is intended broadly to apply to all covered controversies (as set forth above in Section 1.a of this Arbitration Agreement), including those arising prior to and after the execution of this Arbitration Agreement, as is permitted under Section 2 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

    • RIGHT TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY: TECHNICIAN has the right to consult with private counsel of TECHNICIAN’s choice with respect to any aspect of, or any claim that may be subject to, this Arbitration Agreement.

    • ENFORCEMENT. Subject to the exceptions listed in Section F of this Arbitration Agreement, the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable.
