TERMS OF USE

SnapShyft Terms of Use

Last Updated: August 2020

These terms of use constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Avail Productivity Systems, Inc d/b/a SnapShyft (“SnapShyft,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your access or use of the SnapShyft application, services, website, and technology platform (collectively, the “SnapShyft Platform”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SNAPSHYFT. This agreement contains provisions that govern how claims you and SnapShyft have against each other can be brought. These provisions will, with limited exception, require you to submit claims you have against SnapShyft to binding and final arbitration on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, group or representative action or proceeding.

Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your right to use or access the SnapShyft Platform, and any account or listings that you may have created as part of the SnapShyft Platform. You agree to use the SnapShyft Platform at your own risk.

By accessing or using the SnapShyft Platform, you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement (including the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions herein) and accept all of the terms in this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement, you may not use or access the SnapShyft Platform. SnapShyft may immediately terminate this Agreement with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the SnapShyft Platform or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

1. The SnapShyft Platform

The SnapShyft Platform provides a marketplace where persons who seek temporary positions as independent contractors (“Contractors”) can be matched with persons or entities seeking to fill temporary positions with independent contractors (“Venues”). Venues and Contractors are collectively referred to herein as “Users,” and each User shall create a User account that enables access to the SnapShyft Platform. For purposes of this Agreement, the opportunities provided by Venues to Contractors that are matched through the SnapShyft Platform shall be referred to collectively as the “Services”. Any decision by a User to offer or accept the Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ABILITY TO ACCEPT SERVICES THROUGH THE USE OF THE SNAPSHYFT PLATFORM DOES NOT ESTABLISH SNAPSHYFT AS A PROVIDER OF SERVICES. EACH OF THE SERVICES ENTERED INTO BETWEEN A CONTRACTOR AND A VENUE SHALL CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SUCH PERSONS OR ENTITIES.

2. Modification to the Agreement

In the event SnapShyft modifies the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such modifications shall be binding on you only upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. SnapShyft reserves the right to modify any information referenced in the hyperlinks from this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications shall become effective upon posting. Continued use of the SnapShyft Platform or Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. In the event any such modification of this Agreement occurs, you may be required to affirmatively acknowledge acceptance of the modified version of this Agreement prior to continued use of the SnapShyft Platform and Services. Unless material changes are made to the arbitration provisions herein, you agree that modification of this Agreement does not create a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration (if applicable).

3. Eligibility

The SnapShyft Platform may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. The SnapShyft Platform is not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or Users who have had their User account temporarily or permanently deactivated. By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into and abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may not allow other persons to use your User account, and you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your account.

4. Charges

As a Business User, you agree to pay the amounts charged for your use of the SnapShyft Platform and Services (“Charges”), as applicable to your use of the SnapShyft Platform. Charges may include Hourly or pre-arranged Contractor compensation, registration fees, administration fees, service fees and other applicable fees, surcharges, and taxes, plus any additional gratuity to a Contractor that a Venue elects to pay. SnapShyft has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request (e.g., machine operator, chef, bartender, server, et al) as described on individual Service opportunities. You are responsible for reviewing the applicable pricing terms identified on each Service opportunity and shall be responsible for all Fees and Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Please note that we use GPS data from your Contractor’s phone to verify and corroborate the location of the Contractor during the Service and the time spent by the Contractor at that location. We cannot guarantee the availability or accuracy of GPS data. If we lose signal we will calculate time and distance using all available data from the relevant Venue, Contractor, and Service.

SnapShyft does not deduct its portion of fees associated with a Service from Contractor compensation. SnapShyft fees for particular Service opportunities are charged to Venues in addition to, and separate from, Contractor compensation charged to Business Users.

The compensation, fees, and charges relevant to each Service opportunity are identified in detail on the SnapShyft platform and must be reviewed and accepted by you prior to posting or accepting any service.

Service Charges. There are generally two (2) types of Charges related to Services: variable fee and quoted fee.

o Variable Fee.
Variable fee arrangements consist of a base fee in addition to incremental fees based on the duration of the temporary independent contractor opportunity (typically on an hourly basis). This may also include scenarios where a Contractor agrees to work for a base fee in addition to hourly fees up to a stated number of hours, not to exceed 12 hours in any 24-hour period. Minimum charges may apply.

o Quoted Fee.
In some cases SnapShyft may allow you to quote or accept a flat fee for the completion of a Service. The quote is subject to change until the Service posting is accepted by a Contractor. If, prior to the completion of a Service, you change the requirements or parameters of the Service, or attempt to abuse the SnapShyft Platform, we may cancel the quoted fee and charge you a variable fee based on the duration and nature of the actual work performed during the Service, the terms of the accepted Service opportunity. SnapShyft does not guarantee that the quoted fee will be equal to a variable fee for the same Service.

o Prime Time.
Service Charges may be subject to a multiplier at times of high demand of the Services (“Prime Time”) as determined by SnapShyft. For all Services related to work performed with a variable fee, we will use reasonable efforts to inform you of any Prime-Time multipliers in effect at the time of your request. For quoted fees we may factor in the Prime-Time multiplier into the quoted price of the Service. Any Prime-Time charges shall be considered part of the Charges.

o Minimum Fees.
SnapShyft reserves the right to require certain minimum Charges associated with all Services, which may vary based on the specific type of Service, as determined by SnapShyft.

Fees and Other Charges

o Service Fee.
SnapShyft may assess a per-day or per-shift Service “Service Fee” to support the SnapShyft Platform and related services provided to you by SnapShyft. The amount of the Service Fee may vary but shall be retained by SnapShyft in its entirety. Service Fees may be fixed or based on a percentage of overall Charges. Service Fees shall be identified to Business Users, and must be accepted by Business Users, prior to posting or accepting a Service opportunity.

o Cancellation Fee.
After posting a Service you may cancel it through the app, but note that in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You may also be charged if you fail to provide the posted Service opportunity, in whole or in part, after it is accepted by a Contractor. Please review our Cancellation Policy to learn more, including applicable fees associated with cancellation. Collected cancellation fees, other than Service Fees or Charges required by law, will be passed to the Contractor who accepted your Service opportunity.

o Other Charges.
Other fees and surcharges, including “direct hire” fees, may apply to the Service opportunity you may post, including: actual or anticipated local, state, federal, or event fees as determined by SnapShyft in its sole discretion. In addition, where required by law SnapShyft will collect applicable taxes. These other charges are not shared with your Contractor unless expressly stated otherwise. See each individual SnapShyft Service opportunity and applicable SnapShyft Platform web-pages for details on other Charges that may apply.

o Tips.
Following a Service, you may elect to tip your Contractor in direct cash payout, or you may elect to have SnapShyft facilitate tip-out through the platform, with confirmation/approval required; SnapShyft may decline to facilitate at its sole discretion. Any tips will be provided entirely to the applicable Contractor.

o Damage.
SnapShyft makes no representations or warranties regarding the behavior or conduct of any User. You expressly agree that any claim of any kind relating to interactions between Users, including but not limited to claims relating to damage, civil liability, or criminal acts, shall solely be resolved between the parties and SnapShyft shall have no liability related thereto, as described elsewhere herein.

General

o Facilitation of Charges.
All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processing service (e.g., Stripe, Inc.). SnapShyft may replace its third-party payment processing services without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the SnapShyft Platform. With the exception of tips earned, cash payments are strictly prohibited and grounds for revocation of using the SnapShyft platform.

o No Refunds.
All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the SnapShyft Platform, any disruption to the SnapShyft Platform or Services, or any other reason whatsoever.

o Credits and Discounts.
From time to time, you may receive credits (“SnapShyft Credits”) or discounts (“Discounts”) that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges upon completion of Service. SnapShyft Credits and Discounts are only valid for use on the SnapShyft Platform and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. SnapShyft Credits and Discounts cannot be combined, and if the cost of any fee or Charge exceeds the applicable credit or discount value we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the Service. Discounts only apply to the portion of the Charge payable to the Contractor, not the Service Fee or other charges. Additional restrictions on SnapShyft Credits and Discounts may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion or as otherwise instructed by SnapShyft in writing.

o Credit Card Authorization.
Upon addition of a new payment method or the posting of a new Service on the SnapShyft Platform, SnapShyft or SnapShyft’s third-party payment processing service may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the Service cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge; however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or check card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank. Contact SnapShyft Customer Service representatives to learn more about our use of pre-authorization holds.

5. Payments

If you are a Contractor, you will receive full payment for your provision of Services. SnapShyft does not take fees from Contractors agreed compensation. All payments are made by Business Users and are subject to a SnapShyft Service Charge, in addition to those fees paid to Contractors, discussed below. You may also receive any tips provided by Business Users, or patrons of Venues, to you, and tips will not be subject to any SnapShyft Service Charge. SnapShyft collects payments from Business Users through third party payment processors and may disburse some or all payments due to Contractors through its third-party payments processor as well. You acknowledge and agree that such amounts shall not include any interest and will be net of any amounts that we are required to withhold by law.

o Service Charge / Service Plan.
In exchange for permitting Business Users to use the SnapShyft Platform and marketplace, Business Users agree to pay SnapShyft (and permit SnapShyft to retain) fees based on each transaction in which Services are provided (the “Service Charge”). The amount of the applicable Service Charge varies according to the details of the Service Plan (monthly membership) in effect for the Business User at time of service. SnapShyft reserves the right to change available Service Plans at any time at SnapShyft’s discretion based upon local market factors, and SnapShyft will provide Business Users with notice in the event your current Service Plan is being discontinued in your market. Continued use of the SnapShyft Platform after any such change in the Service Plan shall constitute your consent to such change.

o Pricing.
You expressly authorize SnapShyft to set the prices for all Charges that apply to the provision of Services. While each Business User may advertise the amount it is willing to pay a Contractor for a particular Service, all such Contractor fees are in addition to the fees imposed on Business Users by SnapShyft and you consent to, and SnapShyft reserves the right to change prices and fee schedules at any time at SnapShyft’s sole discretion. SnapShyft will provide you with notice in the event of changes to any Charges and fees. Charges may be subject to minimum and maximum limits.

o Fee Adjustment.
SnapShyft reserves the right to adjust or withhold all or a portion of Charges and fees if it believes that (i) you have attempted to defraud or abuse a Contractor, SnapShyft or SnapShyft’s payment systems, (ii) in order to resolve a complaint (e.g., a Contractor showed up but was asked to leave for failure to perform the Services in a workmanlike manner, or a Contractor refused to perform Services due to an unsafe work environment). SnapShyft’s decision to adjust or withhold the Charges and fees in any way shall be exercised in a reasonable manner.

o Credit Card Pre-Authorization.
Business Users may be required to permit their credit cards to be guaranteed by a valid credit card at time a Service is posted on the SnapShyft Platform. SnapShyft and its partners and third-party payment processors reserve the right to either charge or pre-authorize the provided credit cards up to the full potential cost of the offered Service opportunity. Non-valid credit cards will result in automatic cancellation of the Service opportunity posting.

o Payment Delay.
Payment processing times are dependent on a number of factors. In unusual cases payment to Contractors may take as many as 10 business days. If your payment has not been received within 10 business days, please contact customer service for assistance at 855-WE-SHYFT.

15. Disclaimers

The following disclaimers are made on behalf of SnapShyft, our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and shareholders.

In case of emergency, immediately contact local law enforcement, fire services, or medical services. In most jurisdictions these services may be reached by calling 911 on any telephone. SnapShyft does not provide emergency services or emergency response or notification services of any kind.

SnapShyft does not provide any guarantees related to the health or safety of Business Users, Independent Contractors, or any persons affiliated with or whom interactions may occur during use of the SnapShyft Platform. SnapShyft at its discretion may take measures to ensure safety on its platform when it becomes aware of a public health emergency in accordance with its Community Guidelines and terms of use. However it is at the sole discretion of the Business User or Contractor to be forthright about health, sanitation according to any applicable guidelines, mandates, or laws. If SnapShyft receives notification that a Business User or Contractor has been diagnosed with a confirmed case of an infectious disease related to a public health emergency, it will put a temporary suspension on the respective user’s account. SnapShyft may elect at its discretion to place temporary suspensions on the accounts of other users that came into contact with a confirmed case of the infectious disease. A temporary suspension will prevent a user from using certain SnapShyft services until receipt of confirmation from a public health authority or a licensed medical doctor that the user is not contagious. Where a suspension is made, SnapShyft will wait for confirmation from the issuing authority that the user is not contagious before removing the suspension. The burden of proving or confirming health falls on the users, though SnapShyft may, at its discretion, provide opportunities for users to showcase health, sanitation or safety assurances on the SnapShyft Platform.

SnapShyft does not provide employment services to any Contractor or Venue, and SnapShyft is not a temporary worker agency or Temp Agency. It is up to the Venue to decide whether or not to offer a temporary paid position to a Contractor as an independent contractor through the SnapShyft Platform, and it is up to the Contractor to decide whether or not to accept a temporary paid position from any Venue contacted through the SnapShyft Platform. We cannot ensure that a Venue or Contractor will complete an arranged Service.

We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

We do not warrant that your use of the SnapShyft Platform or Services will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, secure, uninterrupted, always available, or error- free, or will meet your requirements, that any defects in the SnapShyft Platform will be corrected, that the SnapShyft Platform is free of viruses or other harmful components, or that a User will not commit a criminal act, cause damage including but not limited to injury or death,.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

A. Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and SnapShyft. YOU AND SNAPSHYFT MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives after the Agreement terminates or your relationship with SnapShyft ends. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and SnapShyft, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders.

Except as expressly provided below, ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND SNAPSHYFT. These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the SnapShyft Platform, the Services, any other goods or services made available through the SnapShyft Platform, your relationship with SnapShyft, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User Account or this Agreement, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by SnapShyft, any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Contractors Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by SnapShyft and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND SNAPSHYFT ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.

B. Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND SNAPSHYFT MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND SNAPSHYFT BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUBSECTION (B) SHALL NOT APPLY TO REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST SNAPSHYFT, WHICH ARE ADDRESSED SEPARATELY HEREIN.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, the class, collective, and/or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

C. Rules Governing the Arbitration. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) (the “AAA Rules”) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding.

D. Arbitration Fees and Awards The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA Rules subject to the following modifications:

1. If SnapShyft initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, SnapShyft will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees.
2. Except as provided in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or any state equivalents, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
3. At the end of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to the prevailing party, to the extent authorized by applicable law.

E. Location and Manner of Arbitration. Unless you and SnapShyft agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between SnapShyft and a User will take place in Marion County, Indiana and shall be governed by the laws of the state of Indiana.

F. Exceptions to Arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction; and (2) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of law. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration 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, however you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint and instead may seek such relief only through arbitration under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or Arbitration Agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision.

G. Severability. In the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

H. Optional Pre-Arbitration Negotiation Process. Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and SnapShyft may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and SnapShyft.

The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability or for impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.
