Dispute Resolution – Informal Negotiations; Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury (U.S. Users)

In the event that disputes between Beebizy and a User cannot be resolved via informal negotiations as outlined below, Users agree that arbitration will be the exclusive forum and remedy at law for any disputes concerning this Agreement and/or the Beebizy Platform except as otherwise specifically provided in Paragraph (n) of this Arbitration Agreement.
USERS RESIDING IN THE UNITED STATES: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT IS PART OF YOUR CONTRACT WITH BEEBIZY AND AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND BEEBIZY CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND BEEBIZY TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INParagraphIDUAL BASIS.
SECTION 19 DOES NOT APPLY TO USERS RESIDING IN CANADA, AND USERS RESIDING IN CANADA AND BEEBIZY AGREE THAT SECTION 20 SHALL APPLY INSTEAD
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether at law or equity, arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms, the Agreement and/or use of the Beebizy Platform that cannot be resolved informally, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or the Agreement and the determination of the scope or applicability of this Arbitration Agreement, shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Beebizy, and to any of your or Beebizy’s subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Beebizy Platform provided under these Terms.
Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim between you and Beebizy, you and Beebizy agree to first attempt to negotiate any such claim informally and in good faith for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration. This pre-arbitration negotiation shall be initiated by providing written notice to the other party—including a brief written statement describing the name, address, and contact information of the notifying party, the facts giving rise to the claim, and the relief requested (the “Claim Notice”). You must send such Claim Notice to Beebizy, Inc., 5950 Canoga Ave, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 Attention: Legal. If necessary to preserve a Claim under any applicable statute of limitations, you or Beebizy may initiate arbitration while engaging in the informal negotiations.
During this pre-arbitration negotiation, 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, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties.
After a good faith effort to negotiate informally for a period of thirty (30) days after Beebizy’s receipt of the Claim Notice, if you or Beebizy believe a claim cannot be resolved informally, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (“JAMS”) and held before a sole arbitrator. The arbitration shall be binding with no right of appeal. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the applicable JAMS’ Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the administrator of JAMS and serving the demand on the responding party. Upon receipt of the demand for arbitration, JAMS will send a “Commencement Letter” acknowledging receipt of the demand. The responding party may file a response and/or a counter-claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the demand. If no response is filed, all allegations of the demand shall be deemed denied. The parties shall select an arbitrator by mutual agreement through JAMS within sixty (60) calendar days after the date the demand for arbitration was filed. If the parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within such time, the administrator of shall provide a list of not less than 10 potential arbitrators with substantial experience in the field that is the subject of the demand. The parties shall each have the right to strike three of the arbitrators and shall otherwise rank the remaining ones in order of preference. The arbitrator that has the combined highest score and has not been stricken by either side shall be selected. The parties to this Arbitration Agreement further agree to abide by any award rendered by the arbitrator. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may otherwise be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must serve Beebizy’s registered agent for service of process: Registered Agent Solutions, Inc., 1220 S STREET, SUITE 150, SACRAMENTO, CA 95811. Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California; provided, however, that the arbitrator may cause the arbitration to take place (a) in another location agreed to by both parties, or (b) in another location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.
Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration. To the extent permitted by the applicable JAMS Arbitration Rules, if non-appearance arbitration is elected by both parties, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or based solely on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration, and the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties or required by the applicable JAMS Arbitration Rules.
Time Limits. If you or Beebizy pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the applicable statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim).
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Beebizy. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the applicable JAMS Arbitration Rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Beebizy.
(g) Waiver of Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and are subject to very limited review by a court.
(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INParagraphIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CLASS, MASS, CONSOLIDATED, COMBINED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, ARBITRATIONS, OR PROCEEDINGS ARE NOT PERMITTED. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER.
(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by applicable law. This Paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(j) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under applicable law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(l) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Beebizy
(m) Claims Not Subject To Arbitration. Notwithstanding the anything to the contrary, 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. This Agreement and Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from participating in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Agreement and do not prevent you from receiving an award for information provided to any government agencies.
(n) Courts. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Beebizy in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, or in any circumstances where this Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit for such purpose to venue in and the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County, California.
(o) Right to Opt Out of Arbitration Agreement.
If you are a Talent, you may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by notifying Company in writing within thirty (30) days of your agreement to these Terms of Service. To opt out, you must send a written notification to Company at Beebizy, Inc., 5950 Canoga Ave, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 Attention: Legal, that includes (a) your account username, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address, and (f) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out of the above arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provisions
