9. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
a. Federal Arbitration Act. Consultant and Company agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act
governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
b. Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. The Parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any
dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with Company support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a
condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. To commence this procedure, Consultant agrees to contact Company’s support
department at support@rev.com, or Company may contact Consultant using the last available information it has for Consultant.
c. Binding Arbitration. If the Parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute
resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then the Parties agree to resolve by arbitration any and all controversies,
claims, or disputes arising out of, relating to, or resulting from: (1) Consultant’s consulting relationship with the Company, (2) the termination of
Consultant’s consulting relationship with the Company, (3) the performance or breach of this Agreement, (4) any other aspect of the Agreement,
including the classification of Consultant as an independent contractor, or (5) without limiting the foregoing, any city, county, state or federal
wagehour law, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, termination, harassment and claims arising
under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family
Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for claims for employee benefits under any
benefit plan sponsored by Company and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), Genetic
Information NonDiscrimination Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other similar federal and state
statutory and common law claims.
d. This Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that lawfully can be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes
which by the terms of this Agreement are expressly excluded from Section 9. The claims not covered by this Arbitration Provision are claims that
are not arbitrable by law, which include claims under the California Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”) only for so long as PAGA claims are
held to be not arbitrable by law by the California Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the United States Supreme Court.
Governing Arbitration Rules. All claims subject to arbitration shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance
with the JAMS rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures that would permit class actions or other
representative actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes
arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including but not limited to any claim
that all or any part of Agreement (including Section 9) is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration, except that the arbitrator
shall have no authority to find that a claim is subject to arbitration on a class basis or as part of another representative action. The arbitrator shall be
empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding
on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (A) Write
a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover. You may find a copy of a
Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com; (B) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two
Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco California 94111; and (C) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at 222 Kearny Street,
8th Floor, San Francisco, California 94108.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Company will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the
arbitration to be non-frivolous, Company will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not seek
more than $75,000. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law, and that the
arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. The Parties understand that, absent this
mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of
arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. For
residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of California, United States of America, and you and Company agree to
submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay
proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

While Company will not take any retaliatory action in response to any exercise of rights you may have under Section 7 of the National Labor
Relations Act, if any, Company shall not be precluded from moving to enforce its rights under the Federal Arbitration Act to compel arbitration on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
e. Class Action Waiver. The Parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or
other representative action (subject to the portion of Paragraph 9(c) above with respect to PAGA claims), and the Parties expressly waive their right
to file a class action, seek relief on a class basis, or join or serve as a member of a class action. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH
MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF
OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that
the
class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class or representative
basis, then this Section 9 shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the Parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
f. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this version of Section 9 by sending written notice of your decision to
opt out to servicesagreement@rev.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be
sent within thirty (30) days of the first date on or after April 14, 2016 that you agree to any version of this Agreement that contains this version of
Section 9. If you do not opt out, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this Section 9. You have the right to
consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Section 9. You understand that you will not be subject to retaliation if you exercise your right to
opt out of coverage under this Section 9. If you opt out of Section 9, Company also will not be bound by it in its disputes with you.
g. Changes to this Section. Company will provide (60) days' notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the sixtieth
(60th) day, and will apply prospectively only to claims arising after the sixtieth (60th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on
“Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from Section 9, and the court or arbitrator shall apply
the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section you agreed to.
h. Survival. Sections 9 and 10 below shall survive any termination of your relationship with Company.
10. Limitations to this Arbitration Agreement. Section 9 (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) shall be limited as follows:
a. Administrative Agencies. Claims may be brought before an administrative agency, but only to the extent law permits access to such an agency
notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate. Such administrative claims include without limitation claims or charges brought before
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the National Labor Relations Board. Nothing in this
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. This Arbitration Provision does not restrict my rights to engage
in concerted activities under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.
b. Dodd-Frank. Disputes 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) are excluded from the coverage of Section 9.
c. Intellectual Property Claims. Notwithstanding the Parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either Party may bring an action in
state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but
not privacy or publicity rights.
d. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the Parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either Party may seek relief in a small claims
court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
11. Governing Law. The Agreement and the relationship between you and Company shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California,
without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Company that is not subject to arbitration must
be resolved by a court located in San Francisco County, San Francisco, California, or a United States District Court, Northern District of California,
located in San Francisco, California, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located
within San Francisco County, California or the United States District Court, Northern District of California located in San Francisco, California, for the
purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes that are not subject to arbitration. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses
otherwise available.
12. Liability Limitation. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE HEREIN, EXCEPT FOR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS OR BREACHES OF
CONFIDENTIALITY, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR (I) ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR
(II) ANY AMOUNT IN THE AGGREGATE IN EXCESS OF THE FEES PAID (OR PAYABLE) TO SUCH PARTY BY THE OTHER PARTY
HEREUNDER.
13. Miscellaneous. Any breach of Section 2 or 3 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. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable other than the Class Action Waiver set forth in Section 9.e., 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. In any action or proceeding to
enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. Headings herein are for convenience of
reference only and shall in no way affect interpretation of the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels any prior agreements or understandings. To the extent that there is a conflict between this
Agreement and the Terms of Service located at https://local.rev.com/about/terms, this Agreement shall govern.
