Upon distributing the Materials, Contractor shall provide information to Pangea Health regarding the details of the distribution, such as where and when the Materials were distributed (“Placement Information”), by entering the Placement Information into Pangea Health’s data management application (“DMA”). Contractor may perform services for any other company or entity, provided that such activities do not interfere or conflict with Pangea Health business or Contractor’s obligations hereunder.
e. Unless otherwise expressly approved by Company in writing in advance (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), all activity relating to the Services will be performed by and only by User or by employees of User.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as creating or establishing a relationship of employer and employee between Company or any Partner and User, or any employee or agent of User. As an independent contractor, User is solely responsible for determining which Open Campaigns User will choose to accept and how, when and where User will provide the Services under this Agreement. The Company will provide no supervision and will have no control over the manner in which User performs the Services. The Company will not set the User’s work hours and location of work.

The Company has no obligation to provide User with any equipment, tools, training, material or labor to perform the Services and, unless the Company elects otherwise in its sole discretion, will only (subject to the terms and condition stated herein) provide User with access to the Application/platform for purposes of enabling User to access and accept (if User so chooses) Partner Campaigns and engage in incidental, related activities (if User so chooses).

Specifically, in the event that User is injured while working in the course and scope of an engagement sourced through the Company, User acknowledges and understands that User will not be covered by any workers compensation insurance coverage that the Company may provide to its employees. Further, in the event that User’s actions cause an injury to a third party while User is working in the course and scope of performing an engagement sourced through the Company, User acknowledges and understands that User will not be covered by any general liability or automobile liability insurance coverage that the Company may have, and that the Company is not making any commitment to defend and/or indemnify User in such circumstances, and specifically denies such obligation.

User agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees harmless to the extent of any obligation imposed on the Company (i) to pay withholding taxes or similar items or (ii) resulting from User’s being determined not to be an independent contractor. User further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and the Partner(s) and its and their respective affiliates and directors, officers, agents and employees harmless from and against all claims, demands, losses, damages and judgments, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, arising out of or based upon any breach or alleged breach by User of any representation, warranty, certification, covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth in this Agreement or any agreement between User and a Partner.

26. Arbitration and Equitable Relief.
a. The Company and User mutually agree to resolve any legal disputes, past, present or future, between them, or between User and any of Company’s employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, or assigns, exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration instead of a court or jury trial, and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. The parties agree that this arbitration agreement is governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. Except as specifically provided below with respect to the Class and Representative Action waiver, this arbitration agreement shall apply to any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including without limitation the scope, enforceability, validity, or conscionability of this arbitration agreement itself), the User’s classification as an independent contractor, User’s use of the Application, User’s provision of Services, the payments received by User for providing Services, the termination of this Agreement, and all other aspects of the User’s relationship with Company.
b. Disputes between the parties that may not be subject to pre-dispute arbitration agreement as provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 111-203) or as otherwise provided by an Act of Congress are excluded from the coverage of this Agreement.
c. Representative actions brought on behalf of a state, such as pursuant to private attorney general statute or similar legal theory are not arbitrable, but any claim you bring on your own behalf alleging to be an employee and/or seeking recovery of underpaid wages or penalties or other employment related benefits is arbitrable.
d. If either party initiates arbitration, the initiating party must notify JAMS and the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period for the claim or claims asserted, and in accordance with JAMS Rules. 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 Notice to Pangea Health of a demand to arbitrate should be sent to, 874 Walker Road, Suite C, Dover, DE 19904 Attention: Legal (“Notice Address”). JAMS provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com.
e. Class Action Waiver. Company and User mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, Company and User each waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action or collective action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement or the JAMS Rules, as defined below, any claim in court that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by the court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class 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 court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
f. In addition to the Class Action Waiver, neither the court nor arbitrator shall order any arbitration between Company and User to be arbitrated collectively, or to be consolidated or joined with any other arbitration, whether for convenience, judicial economy or any other reason, absent written agreement of both the Company and User.
g. User agrees and acknowledges that entering into this arbitration agreement does not change User’s status as an independent contractor in fact and in law, and that User is not an employee of Company or Company’s Partners, and that any disputes in this regard shall be subject to arbitration as provided in this arbitration agreement.
h. Any arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules where agreed upon by both parties) (“JAMS Rules” ), except as follows:
(1) The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute or a retired judge.
(2) If the parties cannot otherwise agree on a location for the arbitration, the arbitration shall take place in New York County, New York.
(3) Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(4) 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.
(5) Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver, and the prohibition of consolidation of proceedings set forth in Section 26(f) above, 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, federal or local law, as may be applicable.
(6) The Arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the applicable substantive law governing such motions.
(7) 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.
(8) A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy in accordance with applicable law, and any such application shall not be deemed incompatible with or waiver of this agreement to arbitrate. The court to which the application is made is authorized to consider the merits of the arbitrable controversy to the extent it deems necessary in making its ruling, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law. All determinations of final relief, however, will be decided in arbitration.
i. This Agreement does not prevent a User from filing unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (www.nlrb.gov) for US-based Users. Nothing in this Agreement prevents a User from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with a government agency, including without limitation the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Nothing in this Agreement prevents the investigation by a government agency of any such report, claim or charge.

k. This arbitration agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this arbitration agreement.

27. Miscellaneous. Any breach of Section 5, 6, or 7 will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. No changes or modifications or waivers to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement shall be governed by the FAA and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Paragraph titles are provided for reference purposes only, and do not affect the substantive provisions of this Agreement. Contractor has entered into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and has either consulted with independent legal counsel or has had the opportunity to do so prior to execution.
28. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Pangea Health Privacy Policy and any other Pangea Health policies constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all previous agreements or representations, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. User represents and warrants that User is not relying on any statement or representation not contained in this Agreement.
