11. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Magnus Photography and Client mutually agree to resolve any and all covered justiciable disputes between them exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of a court or jury trial. This arbitration agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and applies to any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Client Terms, this Arbitration Agreement, the Provider’s classification as an independent contractor, Provider’s provision of services, use of the Platform, any payments made or received by or through the Platform or arising out of or relating to the acceptance or performance of services arranged through the Platform, the termination of this Arbitration Agreement, and all other aspects of the Client’s relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with Magnus Photography, past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law. If it is determined that the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply to any claims covered by this Arbitration Agreement, the parties agree that the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act applies to those claims, as Magnus Photography is incorporated in Delaware. If it is determined that neither the Federal Arbitration Act nor the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act applies, the parties agree that the law of the jurisdiction where the arbitration takes place will apply. Client and Magnus Photography agree that the mutual obligations to arbitrate disputes provide adequate consideration for this Arbitration Agreement.
11.1 If either party initiates arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via U.S. Mail, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include: (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim; and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by Photographer must be delivered to the Magnus Photography at 154 Grand Street, New York, NY 10013. The arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.
11.2 Class and Collective Action Waivers. Magnus Photography and Client mutually agree that by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action and/or collective action, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class and/or collective (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, as defined below and incorporated herein by reference, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class and/or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class and/or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
11.3 Client agrees and acknowledges that entering into this Arbitration Agreement does not affect Provider’s status as an independent contractor in fact and in law, that Photographer is not an employee of Magnus Photography and that any disputes in this regard shall be subject to arbitration as provided in this Arbitration Agreement.
11.4 Except as otherwise stated in this Arbitration Agreement, any arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), subject to the following:
(a) The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator shall be an attorney experienced in the law in the underlying dispute and licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is convened, or a former judge from any jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have authority to decide gateway issues, including arbitrability.
(b) The location of the arbitration proceeding will be no more than 45 miles from the place where Photographer last performed services for Client, unless Client and Magnus Photography agree in writing otherwise.
(c) Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the Arbitrator, the parties agree that Company shall pay all of the Arbitrator’s fees and costs.
(d) The Arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes.
(e) Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver, the Arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable.
(f) Either party may bring motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and the Arbitrator will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions.
(g) The Arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision or award in any court having jurisdiction.
(h) Either Magnus Photography or Client may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this paragraph may be rendered ineffectual.
(i) Regardless of any other terms of this Arbitration Agreement, 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 an agreement to arbitrate governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (such as the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Labor or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to any claim that may not be arbitrated as provided by an Act of Congress or lawful, enforceable presidential Executive Order.
(j) The AAA Rules may be found at www.adr.org or by searching for “AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules” using a service such as www.Google.com or www.Bing.com.
(k) This Arbitration Agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement. In the event any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable. This Arbitration Agreement survives after the termination of the Client Terms and/or after Client ceases any relationship with Magnus Photography. Notwithstanding any contrary language in the Client Terms or in any Magnus Photography policy or other agreement, this Arbitration Agreement may not be modified or terminated absent a writing signed (electronically or otherwise) by both Client and an authorized representative of Magnus Photography.
