Use While Operating a Motor Vehicle or Bicycle
Distractions while operating a motor vehicle or bicycle can create dangerous circumstances. Many states and cities have adopted laws, regulations or ordinances that limit or proscribe the use of mobile devices while operating a motor vehicle or bicycle. Prudence requires that you exercise due care and caution when using the Platform with mobile devices and that such devices not be used while operating a motor vehicle or bicycle, except in hands-free mode as permitted by law. You are solely responsible for your use of the Platform in connection with any, and all such modes of transportation.
Shift Worker User Accounts
To use most aspects of the Platform, you must register for and maintain an active personal user Platform account (“Shift Worker Account”). You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than eighteen (18)), to obtain an Account, and you must provide truthful and accurate information about yourself. Do not impersonate, or try to impersonate, anyone else when you create your Shift Worker Account. Account registration requires you to submit to ShiftPixy certain Personal Information, such as your name, address, mobile phone number and age. If your information changes at any time, please update your Shift Worker Account to reflect those changes. As such, you agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Shift Worker Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date account information, may result in your inability to access and use the Platform or ShiftPixy’s termination of this Agreement with you. ShiftPixy is not responsible or liable for any inaccurate information you provide. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account. Unless otherwise permitted by ShiftPixy in writing, you may possess only one Account. You may not assign your ShiftWorker Account to any other person or entity.
In some cases, an account may be assigned to you by an administrator, such as your worksite manager or supervisor. If you are using or logging into an account assigned to you by an administrator, additional terms may apply to your use of the Services, including, without limitation, those additional terms provided by the administrator. Moreover, your administrator may be able to access or disable your account without our involvement.
Some portions of the Platform require you to select a password. Select a password that would be difficult to guess and change it regularly as an added precaution. You agree not to share your password or share access to your account. You agree that you are responsible for activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of unauthorized use of your password or account.
We reserve the right to take such action in our discretion to help ensure the security of the Platform, including, without limitation, terminating an account. Notwithstanding the above, we may rely on the authority of anyone accessing your account or using your password, and in no event, and under no circumstances, shall we be held liable to you for any liabilities or damages arising out of (i) any action or inaction of ShiftPixy under this provision or (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality of your account or password or any unauthorized access to your account or use of your password except to the extent such compromise, access or use is caused solely by ShiftPixy’s breach of the express terms of these Terms of Use, as proved by clear and convincing evidence. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time.
Job Provider User Accounts
To use most aspects of the Platform, you must register for and maintain an active Job Provider user account (the “Provider Account”). You must assign at least one “Designated Representative” of your organization to maintain and access the Provider Account. Each Designated Representative must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than eighteen (18)). You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Provider Account through your Designated Representative(s). Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Provider Account information may result in your inability to access and use the Platform or ShiftPixy’s termination of this Agreement with you. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Provider Account, and you agree that your Designated Representative(s) will maintain the security and secrecy of your Provider Account username and password at all times.

Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Binding Arbitration
If the parties are unable to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Platform, use of the Platform, these Terms of Use and/or the Privacy Policy (each a “Dispute”) through informal negotiations, you and ShiftPixy agree that the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) shall be settled by binding arbitration to be held in Miami, Florida in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, ShiftPixy shall pay the administrative fees associated with the arbitration, except for the first $500.00 in administrative fees for any arbitration that is initiated by you, and each of us shall separately pay our counsel fees and expenses. The arbitrator shall apply Florida law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by the American Arbitration Association, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor ShiftPixy shall be entitled to arbitrate the dispute. BY AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND LIMITING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION. DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.
Class Action Waiver
The parties agree to bring any dispute in arbitration only on their own behalf, and not on a class or collective actions basis. Accordingly, no right or authority exists for any dispute to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). The Class Action Waiver shall not be severable from this Arbitration Provision in any case in which: (a) the dispute is filed as a class and/or collective action; and (b) a civil court of competent jurisdiction (subject to appeals if any to an appellate court) finds the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable. In such instances, the class and/or collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any other clause or language in this document, Arbitration Provision and/or any rules or procedures that might otherwise apply by virtue of this document or by virtue of any arbitration organization rules or procedures that now apply or any amendments and/or modifications to those rules, any claim that the Class Action Waiver or any portion of the Class Action Waiver, is unenforceable, inapplicable, unconscionable, or void or voidable, shall be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
The Class Action Waiver and any other provision of this Arbitration Provision shall be severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual (non-class and non-collective) action and severance is necessary to ensure that the action proceeds in arbitration.
