1. You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of pHRiend LLC or any other interaction you have with other members of the company remains with you. Neither pHRiend nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the services, counsel, or advice will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of income or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, reputational harm, for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the services provided by the company, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other members or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of pHRiend LLC, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not pHRiend has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. In no event will pHRiend’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the pHRiend including, but not limited to, written, oral, first or second hand advice, interpretation, or counsel, or from the use of or inability to use the service, exceed the amounts you have paid, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable.

1. Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. pHRiend is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 19.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with pHRiend’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules. Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:

2. Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);

3. Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;

4. Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;

5. Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;

6. The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;

7. The user gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;

8. The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.

9. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and pHRiend each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact pHRiend’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

10. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and pHRiend LLC mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the pHRiend Platform and services, will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and pHRiend agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

11. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

12. Jury Trial Waiver. You and pHRiend acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

13. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and pHRiend acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and pHRiend both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and pHRiend agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.

10.

Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 19 must be brought in state or federal court in the state of Delaware, unless we both agree to some other location.
