DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Definition of “Disputes” That Are Subject to Binding Arbitration. The provisions set forth in this Section 14 govern the process for resolving all “Disputes” between you and JOLT. For purpose of this Section 14, the term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and JOLT, regardless of when it accrued, that refers to, relates to or in any way involves your use of a Scooter and/or the JOLT Services regardless of whether the Dispute is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or on any other legal or equitable theory. “Dispute” also includes a dispute between you and JOLT regarding the validity, enforceability or scope of this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ” section and you expressly agree that any Dispute regarding the enforceability, validity or scope of this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ” will be resolved exclusively by the arbitrator and not a court (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). The term “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, encompasses all Disputes regardless of when they accrued and is therefore expressly intended to be retroactive. If you have a Dispute with JOLT or any of its officers, directors, employees and/or agents that cannot be resolved through negotiation within the time frame set forth in the “Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution” process described below, then you and JOLT agree to seek resolution of the Dispute only through final and binding arbitration of that Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section. Accordingly, by entering into this Agreement, you are expressly agreeing to arbitrate all Disputes and are affirmatively waiving your right to litigate any Dispute in court, except for those matters listed below in the “Exclusions from Arbitration” clause. Arbitration means that the Dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and JOLT agree that with the exception of the Class Waiver in Section 14.9 below, any Dispute as defined above shall be settled by final and binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”)

Arbitrator’s Decision.

The arbitrator is required to follow applicable law in rendering his or her decision. The arbitrator is authorized to 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 when such relief is allowed by law. The arbitrator is not empowered to award any damages prohibited by the parties in this Agreement.

Confidentiality.

You and JOLT Scooters agree that all proceedings before the arbitrator are to be confidential. This confidentiality provision governs all aspects of the arbitration including documents exchanged and submitted, all testimony, all briefing and all communications made between us or between either of us and the arbitrator. The only exception to this paragraph is court filings necessary to confirm an arbitration order.

Jury Trial Waiver.

You and JOLT acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings.

You and JOLT acknowledge and agree that 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 or collective proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and JOLT both agree otherwise 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, disputes regarding the revocability, validity or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. 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 all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class, collective or representative 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.

Severability.

Except for the class action waiver, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 14 shall be severed from the Agreement.
