Anyone using or accessing the Platform from outside the United States or Canada does so on their own initiative and is responsible for compliance with United States‘ and local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent such laws are applicable. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Platform or any portion of the Platform, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature that we provide.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT/GOVERNING LAW/CLASS ACTION WAIVER/DISPUTE RESOLUTION (U.S. Residents Only)

BOTH YOU AND WORKFORCE WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. BOTH YOU AND WORKFORCE WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION RELATED ANY DISPUTE THAT IS BROUGHT BY ANYONE ELSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THE JAMS (DEFINED BELOW) RULES TO THE CONTRARY, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR ANY JURISDICTION TO HEAR THE ARBITRATION AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, OR OTHERWISE COMBINE THE CLAIMS OF DIFFERENT PERSONS INTO ONE PROCEEDING.

You agree that these Terms and your use of our Platform and technology is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes regarding your use of Platform and technology only through arbitration; provided, however, either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Cook County, Chicago and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator‘s decision and award are final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth elsewhere in this section, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of our Platform will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. („JAMS„) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a „Demand for Arbitration,„ then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Chicago, IL; New York City, NY; Los Angeles, CA; or Atlanta, GA (whichever is closest to your residence) or – where required by the JAMS rules – in or near your hometown. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions or class arbitrations; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Cook County, Illinois. Workforce agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator‘s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs incurred by you to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of these Terms or the Platform, provided that nothing in these Terms will restrict a California resident’s right, if any, to pursue public injunctive relief as permitted by law and as otherwise in accordance with this section.

MISCELLANEOUS

The failure of Workforce to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit Workforce’s rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by Workforce of any of these Terms will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Workforce. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms. Workforce may assign its rights and duties under these Terms to any party at any time without any notice to you. Terms may not be assigned by you without Workforce’s prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. If a court, arbitrator, or other adjudicative body should determine that any provisions of these Terms is overbroad, unfair or unreasonable, such provision shall be given effect to the maximum extent possible by narrowing or enforcing in part that aspect of the provision found overbroad or unreasonable. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against Workforce by virtue of Workforce having drafted them. No amendment to or modification of these Terms, or action, or delay, will be binding unless in writing and signed by Workforce. Provisions of these Terms that would logically survive termination shall survive the termination of these Terms for any reason (including without limitation, “Disclaimer of Warranties,” “Limitation of Liability; Waiver” and “Arbitration Agreement”).

Unless otherwise required by law, Workforce reserves the right to modify or add to these Terms at any time without prior notice („Updated Terms„). You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the Platform so that they are accessible via a link on the homepage or otherwise, and that your use of a Platform after we have posted the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms before using a Platform. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of a Platform from that point forward.
