TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Jobnur Global Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service” or the “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the User (defined below) of the Platform (defined below) (“you” or “your”) and Jobnur, Inc. (together with its Affiliates (defined below), “Jobnur”, “we”, “us” or “our”) governing your use of Jobnur’s United States websites (including www.jobnur.com) (together, the “Sites”), mobile applications (together, the “Apps”), and related services, information, and communications available in the United States (collectively referred to herein as the “Platform” or the “Jobnur Platform”).

The use of all personal data you submit to the Platform or which we collect about you is governed by our Global Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”).

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of the Platform. The Agreement also includes all other supplemental policies and terms referenced and/or linked to within these Terms or which are otherwise made available to you, all of which also apply to your use of the Platform and are incorporated into the Agreement by reference.

FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN USERS, THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BELOW CONTAINS IMPORTANT TERMS REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION     . THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT DISPUTES AND CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST JOBNUR TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION.

BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND/OR ACCESSING AND USING THE PLATFORM, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY (WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION) THE AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ALL TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE).

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT AND ABIDE BY ITS TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.

  1. The Platform. A. Online Marketplace. The Platform is an online web- and app-based two-sided marketplace that enables connections between Clients and Service Providers. “Client(s)” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Task(s)”), and “Service Provider(s)” are businesses seeking to perform Tasks for Clients. Clients and Service Providers are referred to herein together as “User(s)”.

Service Providers are independent business owners, providing services under their own name or business name (and not under Jobnur’s name), using their own tools and supplies. Service Providers choose the applicable rates for Tasks. While Jobnur does not determine these rates, Service Providers acknowledge that Jobnur charges platform fees in accordance with the Platform Fee Schedule, which shall be deducted from the total amount paid by Clients. These fees are separate from and do not affect the independent contractor relationship between Service Providers and Clients. Service Providers may (a) maintain a clientele without any restrictions from Jobnur; (b) offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms; and (c) accept or reject Clients and Service Agreements (defined below). Service Providers are independent contractors of Clients, and Clients are therefore clients of Service Providers, not Jobnur. All applicable platform fees and payment processing fees will be clearly disclosed to both Service Providers and Clients prior to the completion of any booking.

Any reference to a Service Provider being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or being “badged”, “reliable”, “reliability rate”, “elite”, “great value”, “background checked”, “vetted” (or similar language) indicates only that the Service Provider has completed a relevant user account registration process or met certain criteria and does not, and shall not be deemed to, represent anything else. Any such description: (i) is intended to be useful information for Clients to evaluate when they make their own decisions about the identity and suitability of Service Providers whom they select, interact, or contract with via the Platform; and (ii) is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by Jobnur of a Service Provider’s skills or qualifications or whether they are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe, or suitable.

Notwithstanding any feature or service of the Platform that a Client may use to expedite Service Provider selection, the Client is responsible for determining the Task and selecting or otherwise approving their Service Provider and should undertake their own research prior to booking any Task to be satisfied that a specific Service Provider has the right qualifications.

  1. Jobnur’s Role
    The Platform is not an employment agency service or business, and Jobnur is not an employer of any User. Users are not employees, partners, representatives, agents, joint venturers, independent contractors, or franchisees of Jobnur.

Users hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) Jobnur does not (i) perform Tasks nor employ individuals to perform Tasks, (ii) supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor Taskers’ work (including that Jobnur does not set Taskers’ work locations, work hours, or terms of work), nor provide tools or supplies to, or pay any expenses of, Taskers, (iii) have any control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Tasks or Users (or the acts or omissions thereof), nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, communications, or the ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to each other, and (iv) Users specifically acknowledge that Taskers meet the criteria for independent contractor status under applicable state and federal laws, including but not limited to California Labor Code § 2775 (AB5) and similar state laws, as Taskers (A) are free from control and direction of Jobnur in connection with the performance of Tasks, (B) perform Tasks outside the usual course of Jobnur’s business, and (C) are customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the Tasks performed; and (b) the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create any responsibility or liability for Jobnur, nor any employment or other relationship between Jobnur and the Users or between the Client and the Tasker. Users do not have the authority to, and may not act as an agent for, nor bind or make any representations on behalf of, Jobnur (including that Taskers may not modify all or any part of the Jobnur fees).

Jobnur is neither responsible nor liable for workers’ compensation or any tax payment or withholding, including but not limited to applicable sales taxes, unemployment or employment insurance, disability insurance, employer’s liability, employer training tax, social security contributions, or other applicable payroll withholdings in connection with a User’s use of the Platform, or personal income tax. The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for all required and applicable income tax and social contributions such as Social Security withholdings as to the Tasker and all persons engaged by the Tasker in the performance of the Task Services. Each User assumes all liability for the proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable legal guidelines.

  1. Use of the Platform
  2. Registration
    You must register and create an account to access and use the Platform, providing only correct and accurate information (such as, without limitation, your name, business name, mailing address, email address, and/or telephone number). You agree to immediately notify Jobnur of any changes to your account information. If any such change relates to ownership of your telephone numbers, you may notify Jobnur by texting STOP to any text message sent to the retiring phone number. Failure to provide and maintain updated and accurate information may result in your inability to use the Platform and/or Jobnur’s termination of this Agreement with you. Jobnur may restrict anyone from completing registration if Jobnur determines such person may threaten the safety and integrity of the Platform or if such restriction is necessary to address any other reasonable business concern.
  1. Account Security
    You are fully and solely responsible for (a) maintaining the confidentiality of any log-in, password, and account number provided by or given to you to access the Platform; and (b) all activities that occur under your password or account, even if not authorized by you. Jobnur has no control over any User’s account. You agree to notify Jobnur immediately if you suspect any unauthorized party may be using your Platform password or account or if you detect any other breach of security.
  1. Tasker Onboarding

(i) Background Checks. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Taskers may be subject to a review process before they can register on, and during their use of, the Platform, which may include, but is not limited to, identity verification and criminal background checks, using third-party services as appropriate (“Background Check(s)”). If you are a Tasker, to the extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to undergo such Background Checks. Jobnur cannot, and does not, assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information, nor for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Platform. Users acknowledge that background checks are limited in scope and time, and that past results do not guarantee future behavior or performance.

(ii) Professional Licensing. Jobnur does not independently verify that Taskers have the necessary expertise or have obtained any licenses, permits, or registrations required to perform their Tasks. It may be unlawful to perform certain types of Tasks without a license, permit, and/or registration, and performing such Tasks may result in law enforcement action and/or penalties or fines. Taskers are solely responsible for avoiding such prohibited Tasks. If you have questions about how national, state, provincial, territorial, and/or local laws apply to your Tasks on the Platform, you should first seek appropriate legal guidance. Clients are solely responsible for determining if a Tasker has the skills and qualifications necessary to perform the specific Task and confirming that the Tasker has obtained all required licenses, permits, or registrations, if any. Clients may wish to consult their national, state, provincial, territorial, and/or local law requirements to determine whether certain Tasks are required to be performed by a licensed or otherwise registered professional. Jobnur reserves the right to request proof of licensing, permits, or registrations from Taskers at any time.

  1. Service Agreement
    The Platform allows Users to offer, search for, and book Tasks. After identifying and selecting a Tasker to perform a Task, the Client and the Tasker may communicate via the chat thread in the Platform (the “Chat Thread”) to understand the scope, schedule, and other details of the Task (including, without limitation, any specific hazards, obstacles, or impediments in the Task location (whether visible or concealed) that may impact the performance of the Task). Once the Task is scheduled via the Platform by the Tasker, the Client and Tasker form a legally binding contract for the Task, which includes the engagement terms proposed and accepted, and any other contractual terms agreed to by the Client and the Tasker in the Chat Thread for the Task (the “Service Agreement”). The Client and the Tasker each agree to comply with the Service Agreement and the Agreement during the engagement, performance, and completion of a Task. Taskers are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into Service Agreements and performing Tasks and acknowledge that there is a chance for individual profit or loss. Jobnur is not a party to any Service Agreement. The formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create any responsibility or liability for Jobnur.

E. Additional Tasker Representations and Warranties.

If you are a Tasker on Jobnur, you additionally represent and warrant that, in your access to and use of the Platform, you:

  • Are operating as a sole proprietor, partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, corporation, or other business entity when using the Platform.
  • Are customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as the services performed for Clients through the Platform and maintain an independent clientele.
  • Have the unrestricted right to work in the jurisdiction in which you perform tasks.
  • Have and will maintain (at your own expense) any licenses, permits, and/or registrations required by applicable laws that apply to your performance of tasks (including, as applicable, a business license, business tax registration, and/or contractor’s license).
  • Have and will maintain all insurance required to operate your business and perform the tasks.
  • Will respond to invitations promptly, provide timely, high-quality services for your Clients as agreed in the Chat Thread (defined below), only offer and provide tasks for which you have the necessary expertise to perform, and perform the tasks as agreed upon with your Client in a safe and timely manner.

 (i) was previously known to you without an obligation to hold it in confidence,

 (ii) is or becomes publicly known other than through a violation of the Agreement,

(iii) is independently developed by you without the use of Jobnur’s Confidential Information.

Jobnur reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any promotions at any time, without notice to you.

  1. Dispute Resolution

To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim, related to, arising out of or regarding your use of the Platform, your relationship with Jobnur, any Task or the Agreement (including any prior versions of this Agreement) (“Dispute”), you and Jobnur agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for thirty (30) days upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your email address and, to the extent that you provide a physical mailing address to Jobnur, your mailing address.

 Jobnur’s address for such notices is:

Jobnur, Inc.

  1. Agreement to Arbitrate
  2. Agreement.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, you and Jobnur agree that, subject to any exceptions or qualifications to this agreement to arbitrate (“Agreement to Arbitrate”) below, any Dispute (as defined above) that cannot be resolved through informal negotiation shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect.  

Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Jobnur are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prevent either party from bringing an individual action in small claims court or seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

  1. Exclusions to Arbitration.
  • Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as exceptions to such arbitration, you and Jobnur retain the right to pursue in a court of competent jurisdiction (i) any action to enforce or protect its intellectual property rights, (ii) any action relating to employee benefits, including but not limited to those arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and (iii) individual actions in small claims court.

c. Severability; Waiver

Except for the “Agreement Prohibiting Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” provision in Section 24(A), if any provision of the Agreement is found to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, then:

  1. That provision shall be modified or restructured to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable.
  2. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be removed from the Agreement without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

A. Residents of the United States of America

I. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND JOBNUR CAN BRING CLAIMS UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND JOBNUR TO SUBMIT CLAIMS TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE:

  • READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO THE TERMS WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION.
  • ACCEPTED ALL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

II.Agreement to Binding Arbitration

IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BENEFITS OF THE SPEEDY, ECONOMICAL, AND IMPARTIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND JOBNUR MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES OR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and survives the termination of the Agreement and your relationship with Jobnur.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Jobnur agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims (the “Claim(s)“) relating to, arising from, or regarding:

  • Your use of the Platform
  • Your relationship with Jobnur
  • Tasks
  • This Agreement (including previous versions)
  • Claims by Jobnur, Claims against Jobnur, and Claims against Jobnur’s Affiliates (including its parent company)

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this includes, but is not limited to, claims related to:

  • Payments
  • Any city, county, state, or federal wage and hour law
  • Compensation, meal or rest breaks, expense reimbursement
  • Wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation
  • Fraud, defamation, trade secrets, unfair competition, personal injury, property damage or loss, emotional distress
  • Any promotions or offers made by Jobnur
  • The threatened or actual suspension or deactivation of your account
  • Breach of any express or implied contract or covenant
  • Claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws, antitrust laws, or employment laws
  • Claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act
  • Claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights Act, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or funded by insurance)
  • State or local statutes addressing similar subject matters
  • All other federal, state, or local statutory and common law claims

If there is a dispute about whether a claim is subject to arbitration (including the formation, scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement), you and Jobnur agree that this threshold dispute shall be resolved by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement brings claims against a party, those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

If either party brings both arbitrable and non-arbitrable claims in the same action or related actions, both parties agree that the non-arbitrable claims shall be stayed until the conclusion of the arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND JOBNUR ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS, UNLESS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF EVERY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THAT CAN LAWFULLY BE ARBITRATED, EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES THAT, BY THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE.

(b) Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and Jobnur agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Jobnur (and/or, if applicable, its Affiliates) and you individually.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND JOBNUR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”).

Further, unless both you and Jobnur otherwise agree:

  • The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims
  • The arbitrator may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding
  • The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue relief on any basis other than an individual basis

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Class Action Waiver shall not apply to California Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) Claims, which are addressed separately below.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement, or the AAA Rules:

  • Disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver may only be resolved by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
  • If:
    • The Claim is filed as a class, collective, or representative action
    • There is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims

Then, those Claims shall be severed from the remaining Claims and may remain in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Class Action Waiver shall still be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis for all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

(c) Representative PAGA Waiver

This section outlines restrictions regarding representative actions under the California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq. It establishes that individuals using Jobnur cannot bring representative claims on behalf of others under PAGA, whether in court or arbitration.

Key Provisions:

  1. No Representative PAGA Claims:
    1. Both you (the user) and Jobnur agree not to bring a representative action under PAGA in any court or arbitration.
    2. This means you can only file a PAGA claim for yourself, not on behalf of others.
  2. Arbitration Must Be Individualized:
    1. If you bring a PAGA claim, it must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis.
    2. You can only seek relief for your personal grievances and not for other workers.
  3. Challenges to the Waiver:
    1. Any disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of this PAGA waiver must be resolved by a civil court, not by an arbitrator.
  4. What Happens If the Waiver is Found Unenforceable?
    1. If any part of the PAGA waiver is deemed unenforceable or unlawful, that specific provision will be removed from the agreement.
    2. The rest of the arbitration agreement will remain in effect.
    3. Any PAGA claims that must be litigated in court will be paused (stayed) until the outcome of individual arbitration claims is determined.

Impact on You:

This provision limits your ability to participate in class or representative actions under PAGA. If you want to bring a claim under PAGA, it must be handled in arbitration on an individual basis. If a court later determines that this waiver is unenforceable, the PAGA claim will be moved to court but will be put on hold while individual claims proceed in arbitration.

(d) Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration

This section outlines the procedural rules for arbitration, including how to start arbitration, how arbitrators are selected, and how costs are allocated.

How to Initiate Arbitration:

  • To start arbitration, you must:
    • File a claim with the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
    • Provide a written Demand for Arbitration (available at adr.org).
    • Send a copy of the demand to the other party.
  • The arbitration will be conducted under AAA Rules in effect at the time of filing.
  • TThe AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Consumer Rules”) will apply to disputes involving consumers as defined by the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. For all other disputes, the AAA’s Consumer Rules“) shall apply to any dispute between Service Provider and a consumer (defined as any individual who uses the services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes). For all other disputes, including those involving business or commercial matters, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules shall apply .

Arbitrator Selection Process:

  • A single arbitrator will be chosen by mutual agreement.
  • If both parties fail to agree on an arbitrator within 30 days, the AAA will appoint one.

Discovery Rights in Arbitration:

  • Both parties can request reasonable discovery of non-privileged, relevant information to prepare for arbitration.

Decisions and Remedies in Arbitration:

  • The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.
  • The arbitrator may award the same types of individual remedies available in court (such as compensation or injunctive relief).
  • However, injunctive or declaratory relief will be limited to the individual party involved and cannot be applied broadly.
  • The arbitrator will provide a written statement explaining the decision, including the findings and legal conclusions.

Costs and Fees for Arbitration:

This section defines who pays arbitration-related costs depending on the circumstances:

    1.      Jobnur and the user will equally share all arbitration-specific costs.
    2. You are responsible for an amount equal to the court filing fee in your state.
    3. If you are legally entitled to a lower filing fee under the AAA Rules, you will pay the lower amount.
    4. If a dispute arises over which costs are unique to arbitration, the arbitrator will decide.
  1. Attorney Fees & Additional Costs:
    1. Each party must cover their own attorney fees unless:
  1. The law or AAA Rules require Jobnur to pay.
  2. The arbitrator determines that fees should be shifted to the losing party (if allowed under applicable law).
    1. Costs such as subpoenaing witnesses, depositions, and document copies must be covered by the party requesting them, just as they would be in court.
  1. Fee Awards for the Winning Party:
    1. The arbitrator may award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the winning party, if allowed by law.

Location of Arbitration Hearings:

  • For Taskers:
    • The arbitration hearing will take place remotely or in the county where the Tasker’s billing address is located.
  • For Clients:
    • The hearing will be remote or in the county where the task was performed.
  • If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county:
    • The hearing will take place at the nearest available AAA arbitration location.

Final Takeaways:

What This Means for You:

  • If you have a PAGA claim, you must pursue it individually in arbitration (not as a group).
  • Arbitration will follow AAA rules, and a single arbitrator will oversee the case.
  • Arbitration hearings will be remote or held in a convenient location based on your role (Tasker or Client).
  • You are responsible for your own attorney fees, unless otherwise allowed by law.

This section reinforces arbitration as the primary dispute resolution method

(e) Exceptions to Arbitration

This section defines certain types of claims that are not subject to arbitration under the agreement. While most disputes between users and Jobnur must go through arbitration, the following exceptions apply:

Claims That Are Excluded from Arbitration:

  1. Claims for Certain Employee Benefits:
    1. Workers’ compensation claims (for workplace injuries).
    2. Disability insurance claims (for financial assistance due to disability).
    3. Unemployment insurance claims (for financial benefits after job loss).
    4. These claims typically fall under state or federal employment laws and are handled by government agencies, not private arbitration.
  2. Small Claims Court Actions:
    1. If your dispute falls within the legal limits of small claims court and is filed on an individual basis, you may take your claim directly to small claims court instead of arbitration.
    2. Small claims courts handle disputes involving smaller amounts of money and offer a faster, more informal process than arbitration or lawsuits.
  3. Intellectual Property Disputes Involving Injunctions:
    1. If a dispute involves claims of infringement or misappropriation of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, the affected party may seek preliminary injunctive relief in court solely to prevent irreparable harm while the underlying dispute is resolved through arbitration     .
    2. This includes provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders to protect intellectual property rights.
  4. Certain Representative PAGA Claims:
    1. If a court rules that the PAGA waiver (discussed in Section 24(A)(I)(c)) is unenforceable, then representative PAGA claims may proceed in court instead of arbitration.
    2. This applies only if a court finds that arbitration would be illegal under applicable law not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).
  5. Claims Specifically Excluded by Federal Law:
    1. If federal law explicitly excludes a specific type of claim from mandatory arbitration, that claim must be resolved through litigation or other legal means instead.

Your Rights to File Reports with Government Agencies:

  • This agreement does not prevent you from reporting issues to or filing claims with government agencies, including:
    • Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (for workplace discrimination).
    • S. Department of Labor (DOL) (for wage violations).
    • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (for financial fraud).
    • National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) (for labor rights violations).
    • Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) (for workplace compliance issues).
  • You can still participate in government investigations and may receive financial awards for providing information to these agencies.
  • However, if you file a claim with these agencies, that does not automatically exempt you from arbitration with Jobnur unless federal law explicitly allows it.

(f) Severability

This section explains what happens if part of the Arbitration Agreement is found illegal or unenforceable:

  • If any portion of the Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid under the law not preempted by the FAA, that specific provision will be removed (severed).
  • The rest of the Arbitration Agreement will remain in full effect.
  • This means that even if a court strikes down one part of the agreement, arbitration will still be enforced for all remaining valid sections.

(g) Opt-Out of Arbitration Agreement

This section provides Taskers (workers using Jobnur) with the option to opt out of arbitration under specific conditions.

Who Can Opt Out?

  • If you have never previously agreed to an arbitration clause in Jobnur’s (or Jobnur’s) Terms of Service, you have the right to opt out.
  • If you previously agreed to an arbitration clause in a prior agreement, you can only opt out of any new revisions to the arbitration agreement made in this version.
  • Opting out of this arbitration agreement does NOT affect previous or future arbitration agreements you may have with Jobnur.

How to Opt Out:

To opt out, you must notify Jobnur in writing within 30 days of agreeing to the Terms of Service. Your written notification must include:

  1. Your Jobnur account username.
  2. Your full legal name.
  3. Your physical address.
  4. Your telephone number.
  5. Your email address.
  6. A clear statement that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement.

You must send this notification to Jobnur’s official mailing address listed on their Contact Details page, which can be found at:
 https://jobnur.com/contact-us/

Key Takeaways About Opting Out:

  • You have only 30 days to opt out from the date you agree to the Terms of Service.
  • Opting out applies only to this version of the Arbitration Agreement—it does not affect past or future agreements you have accepted.
  • If you do not follow the opt-out procedure correctly or within the deadline, you will remain bound by the arbitration clause.

(h) Tasker Claims in Pending Class Action

This section addresses Taskers who are already part of an ongoing wage and hour class action lawsuit against Jobnur (or Jobnur) as of the effective date of these Terms of Service.

  • If you are already a member of a pending wage and hour class action lawsuit, this Arbitration Agreement will not apply to your claims in that lawsuit.
  • Instead, your claims will continue to be governed by the arbitration provisions from the agreement you accepted before the new agreement’s effective date.

Why This Matters:

  • This provision ensures that current class action members do not lose their legal standing in ongoing cases.
  • However, any future claims or disputes that arise after the new agreement takes effect will still be subject to arbitration.
