7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISION

IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH ARRO ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT AS PROVIDED BELOW. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION ALL SUCH DISPUTES MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH THE INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCESS AND  YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTIONS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUITS AGAINST ARRO AND WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO ANY RECOVERY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH CLASS ACTIONS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUITS.

A. You and Arro Agree to Binding Arbitration.

This Arbitration Provision affects your ability to participate in representative actions.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW BOTH YOU AND ARRO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMS, INCLUDING THE BREACH, TERMINATION, INTERPRETATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, SHALL BE FINALLY RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS  IN NEW YORK CITY.

Except as provided below, ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN US (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND ARRO.  These Claims include but are not limited to any Claims whether based on past, present or future events arising out of or relating to these Terms  and prior versions thereof including the scope, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, the Services and your access thereto, your relationship with Arro, and incidents or accidents resulting in injury to you or any other person that you or anyone else alleges occurred in connection with your use of the Services.  This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is intended to require arbitration of every Claim 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.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND ARRO 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 also applies to claims between you and Arro’s service providers, including but not limited to technology system providers and payment processors; and such service providers shall be considered intended third-party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement.  However, if you have accepted the  Uber Terms and Conditions for Accepting Ride Requests on the Uber Platform in New York City, all claims between you and Arro or Arro’s service providers, arising out of your acceptance of an Uber Third Party Ride Request (as defined below in Fees and Charges) shall be governed by the binding arbitration provisions in the Uber Terms and Conditions for Accepting Ride Requests on the Uber Platform in New York City or other location. 

B. Prohibition of Class Actions and other Non-Individualized Relief

ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND ARRO MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS.  YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND ARRO BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS.  

The parties acknowledge and agree to arbitrate only in individual arbitration and that this Arbitration Agreement does not permit class arbitration, or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to claims brought under any state’s Private Attorneys General Act (“Class Action Waiver”). The parties also waive the right to seek, recover or obtain any non-individual relief.  The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Notwithstanding the arbitrator’s power to rule on its own jurisdiction and the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate, the arbitrator has no power to rule on the (a) interpretation, (b) applicability, (c) validity or (d) enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate solely on an individual basis.  Only a court of competent jurisdiction, and not an arbitrator, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any and all disputes arising out of or relating to the Class Action Waiver.

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 with respect to any Claim or any particular remedy for a Claim (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that Claim or particular remedy (and only that Claim or particular remedy) shall be severed from any remaining claims and/or remedies and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims or remedies to the fullest extent possible.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arbitration Agreement or the applicable arbitration provider’s rules, this Class Action Waiver does not prevent you or Arro from participating in a class wide, collective, coordinated, or consolidated settlement of claims.

C. Arbitration Agreement is Governed by the Federal Arbitration Act

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”). It is the intent of the parties to be bound by the provisions of the FAA for all purposes, and that the FAA and the applicable arbitration provider’s rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and applicable arbitration provider’s rules are found to not apply to any issue regarding the interpretation or enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, then the laws of the State of New York shall apply without regard to choice of law principles.  This Arbitration Agreement survives after the Agreement terminates or your relationship with Arro ends.

D. Rules Governing the Arbitration

Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Provision shall be administered by JAMS. If there is a conflict between the rules of JAMS and this Arbitration Provision, including but not limited to whether any arbitration shall continue on an individualized basis, then the terms of this Arbitration Agreement shall govern.

Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator, unless the claim amount exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), in which case the dispute shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators (hereafter referred to in singular or plural as, “Arbitrator”)   The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney licensed to practice law in the state where the arbitration is conducted with experience in the law underlying the dispute. The Arbitrator will be selected by the parties from the applicable arbitration provider’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator after a good faith meet and confer effort, then the applicable arbitration provider will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with its rules.

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.

Except where permitted by statute, the Arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive, exemplary or multiple damages, and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover such damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration.  The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims.

In the event any portion of the Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement will remain in force and the unenforceable provisions shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement.  The severance of the unenforceable provisions shall have no impact whatsoever on the enforceability, applicability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or the arbitrability of any remaining claims asserted by you or Arro.

The Arbitrator is not bound by decisions reached in separate arbitrations, and the Arbitrator’s decision shall be binding only upon the parties to the arbitration that are the subject of the decision. The Arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the Arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The Arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

E. Fees

Each party will pay the fees for its, his or her own attorneys and any costs that are common to both court and arbitration proceedings (such as court reporter costs and transcript fees), subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law.

In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Arbitration Agreement, the Arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the Arbitrator determine a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the Arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

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; (2) claims for workers’ compensation, state disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits; (3) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law not preempted by the FAA; and (4) individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment in connection with the use of the Services. Where these claims are brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, Arro will not require arbitration of those claims. Arro’s agreement not to require arbitration of these claims does not waive the enforceability of any other provision of this Arbitration Agreement (including without limitation the Class Action Waiver), or of the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement as to any other dispute, claim, or controversy.

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 (“NLRB”), 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, should you bring an administrative claim, you may only seek or recover money damages of the type that is permitted by this Arbitration Agreement and you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint, except for a complaint issued by the NLRB. Should you participate in an NLRB proceeding, you may only recover money damages if such recovery does not arise from or relate to a claim previously adjudicated under this Arbitration Agreement or settled by you. Similarly, you may not recover money damages under this Arbitration Agreement if you have already adjudicated such claim with the NLRB. 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 Agreement.

G. Arbitration Process.

Prior to commencing arbitration, the party bringing the claim must first send a demand for arbitration in writing to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period.  Such demand shall include identification of the parties (including, if you are bringing the claim, the phone number professional driver’s license number and any email address associated with your driver account, the city in which you reside and your express authorization to bring the arbitration demand), a statement of the legal and factual basis of the Claim(s), and a specification of the remedy sought and the amount in controversy.  Any demand for arbitration made to Arro shall be sent to Arro, Inc.  42-32 21st Street, Long Island City, New York 11101 Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration.  Any demand for arbitration made to you by Arro shall be sent via email to the email address associated with your driver account or via SMS messaging to your mobile device.

In order to achieve the most cost-effective means of resolving a dispute, you and Arro agree to provide for a negotiation period prior to the party seeking arbitration filing a demand for arbitration with JAMS.  Therefore, before a demand for arbitration is submitted to JAMS, the party bringing the Claim shall first attempt to informally negotiate with the other party in good faith to resolve such Claim for a period of sixty (60) days after sending the demand for arbitration to the other party, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties.  The parties agree that such good faith negotiations shall include a minimum of one informal dispute resolution conference either by telephone or in person.  The party bringing the arbitration shall be required to participate and such negotiations must be conducted on an individual basis.  If either party is represented by counsel, such counsel shall be permitted to participate in the conference.  Such informal conference is a condition precedent which must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration.  All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled during such sixty (60) days or any extended period agreed upon by the parties.

All offers, conduct and statements whether oral or written, made in the course of the informal negotiation, including but not limited to the dispute resolution conference made  by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including 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.  At no time prior to the end of the sixty (60) days shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Arbitration Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties.

If informal negotiations are not successful, the party bringing the claim in arbitration shall file the claim for arbitration with JAMS.  Delivering a demand for arbitration is a separate obligation of the party seeking arbitration.  The party seeking arbitration has the obligation to serve a copy of any filings made to JAMS on the other party and such party’s counsel that participated in the informal negotiations.

H. Claims in a Pending Settlement.

If you are a member of a putative class in a lawsuit against Arro for Claims and a Motion for Preliminary Approval of a Settlement has been filed with the court in that lawsuit prior to this Arbitration  Agreement’s effective date (a “Pending Settlement Action”), then this Arbitration Agreement shall not apply to your Claims in that particular class action. Instead, your Claims in that Pending Settlement Action shall continue to be governed by the arbitration provisions contained in the applicable Agreement that you accepted prior to this Arbitration Agreement’s effective date.

I. Opting Out of Arbitration for Driver Claims That Are Not In a Pending Settlement Action.

You are not required to agree to this Arbitration Agreement as a mandatory condition of these Terms.  Unless you have a claim Pending Settlement Action, you may opt out of the requirement to arbitrate Claims set forth in this Arbitration Agreement if you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision in Arro’s Terms where you had the opportunity to opt-out of the requirement to arbitrate.  If you have previously agreed to such an arbitration provision, you may opt out of any revision to your prior arbitration agreement made by this provision in the manner specified below but opting out of this arbitration provision has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with Arro.

Should you not opt out within the thirty (30) day period, you and Arro shall be bound by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement in full.

You are also agreeing in advance that you will not participate in, or seek to recover monetary or other relief, for such claims in any court action or class, collective, and/or representative action.
