Technician is responsible for conducting whatever investigation or verification of a Customer’s profile information that Technician deems necessary for purposes of entering into a Work Order with that Customer. Technician acknowledges that the profile information for each Customer available via the Platform is compiled and maintained by the Customers themselves and not Techadox. Techadox makes no representations as to the validity or accuracy of information provided by Customers.

1.4 Techadox is not an employer or joint employer of any Technician. Techadox is not responsible for the performance or non-performance of any Customer or any Technician. Each Technician is solely and entirely responsible for the Technician's acts and for the acts of the Technician's employees and agents. Each Customer is solely and entirely responsible for the Customer's acts and for the acts of the Customer's employees and agents. Techadox is not a party to any Work Order and is not bound by any terms of a Work Order.

1.5 Technician is an independent contractor and is not an employee of Techadox.

2.2. Techadox will charge Technician a fee for the access and use of the Techadox platform, which will be deducted directly from the amounts payable to Technician by a Customer for services performed. The current Techadox Fees shall be up to Eight Percent (8%) of the amount payable to Technician pursuant to a completed Work Order.

2.3 Techadox will charge additional fees (the “General Liability Insurance Fees”) which will be deducted directly from the amounts payable to you by the Customer, if you did not have a current certificate of insurance uploaded in your profile. The General Lability Insurance Fees are subject to periodic changes, in Techadox’s sole business discretion.

Technician acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, remedy at law will be inadequate and Techadox will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy at law, to appropriate injunctive and other equitable relief.

14.2Technician Indemnification.

Technician shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Techadox, its licensors and their respective parent organizations, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with: (a) any claim based on any alleged misuse of the Platform by Technician, or a claim that any Technician Data infringes the copyright, trademark, or patent rights of any third party; (b) any alleged conduct which would constitute a breach of the representations and warranties of Technician set forth herein; and (c) related to any Work Order, including any claims by any third party or government agency that Technician was misclassified as an independent contractor or employee of a Customer, and any claim that Techadox was an employer or joint employer of Technician, and related legal claims under any employment laws.

• Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.

Techadox and Technician 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 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 Technician Terms, this Arbitration Agreement, the Technician’s classification as an independent contractor, Technician’s provision of services, Technician’s use of the Platform, any payments made or received by Technician through the Platform or arising out of or relating to the acceptance or performance of services arranged through the Platform, the termination of this Agreement, and all other aspects of the Technician’s relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with Techadox, past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law. Technician and Techadox agree that the mutual obligations to arbitrate disputes provide adequate consideration for this arbitration agreement.

• 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. The arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.

• Class and Collective Action Waivers. Techadox and Technician mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, 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, 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.

• Technician agrees and acknowledges that entering into this arbitration agreement does not change Technician’s status as an independent contractor in fact and in law, that Technician is not an employee of Techadox and that any disputes in this regard shall be subject to arbitration as provided in this agreement.

• 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:

1. 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.
2. The location of the arbitration proceeding will be no more than 45 miles from the place where Technician last performed services for Techadox, unless Technician and Techadox agree in writing otherwise.
3. 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.
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, 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.
6. The Arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 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. Either Techadox or Technician 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.

• 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.

• The AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules may be found at adr.org/Rules.

• 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 Technician Terms and/or after Technician ceases any assignment and/or relationship with Techadox. This arbitration agreement will also continue to apply notwithstanding any change in Technician’s responsibilities, position, or title, or if Technician transfers companies. Notwithstanding any contrary language in the Technician Terms or in any Techadox policy or other agreement, this arbitration agreement may not be modified or terminated absent a writing signed (electronically or otherwise) by both Technician and an authorized representative of Techadox.

• General Terms

17.1 TECHADOX’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO TECHNICIAN FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, WILL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR OWING TO TECHADOX FOR WORK ORDERS COMPLETED BY TECHNICIAN DURING THE MOST RECENT TWELVE (12) MONTHS OF THE TERM OF THESE TECHNICIAL TERMS.

17.2 NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE, DATA OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE, HOWEVER IT ARISES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

17.3 Techadox and Technician acknowledge that the foregoing limitations of liability represent a reasonable and negotiated allocation of risk, that these limitations constitute an integral part of these Technician Terms, and that absent these limitations the parties would not have executed these Technician Terms. The limitations will apply notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy.

17.4 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with reference to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between them relating to the subject matter hereof. No modification hereof shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by both parties, except that updates of this Agreement by Techadox and delivered through the Platform or in association with the Platform (e.g., such as to Customer’s e-mail address) shall be binding upon Customer’s continued use of the Platform or Customer’s “click-through” consent (if such facility is provided).

17.5 Techadox may freely assign this Agreement, in whole or in part. Technician may not assign or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without written consent of Techadox, except that Technician may transfer the right only to receive any amounts which may be payable to it for performance under this Agreement, and then only after receipt by Techadox of written notice of such assignment or transfer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ successors and assigns.

17.6 If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof shall be held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be enforced to fullest extent consistent with the remainder of this Agreement and applicable law.

17.7 The terms of this Agreement which do expressly or are intended by their nature to survive its termination shall survive such termination.

17.8 No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed a waiver of any other provision hereof, nor shall such waiver constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, references to “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited to”.

17.9 Any legal action brought against Techadox under this Agreement (including any Work Order issued hereunder) must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues and in no event later than one year after the expiration or termination of any corresponding Work Order.

17.10 The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles. Customer agrees and consents to the jurisdiction of the state of Delaware, and expressly waives any and all objections to jurisdiction or venue in such courts.
