You acknowledge that the Customer Service Fee is the only payment you will receive in connection with provision of Services and that neither the Fee nor the Fee Calculation includes any gratuity. You are also entitled to charge User for any Tolls, taxes or fees incurred during the provision of Services, if applicable. You: (i) appoint Company as your limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Fee, applicable Tolls and, depending on the region and/or if requested by you, applicable taxes and fees from the User on your behalf via the payment processing functionality facilitated by the Planet Store Services that are related to your provision of Customer Services; and (ii) agree that payment made by User to Company (or to an Affiliate of Company acting as an agent of Company) shall be considered the same as payment made directly by User to you.

You shall always have the right to: (i) charge a fee that is less than the pre-arranged Fee; or (ii) negotiate, at your request, a Fee that is lower than the pre-arranged Fee (each of (i) and (ii) herein, a “Negotiated Fee”).

In the event regulations applicable to your Territory require taxes to be calculated on the Fee, Company shall calculate the Service Fee based on the Fee net of such taxes. Company reserves the right to change the Service Fee at any time in Company’s discretion based upon local market factors, and Company will provide you with notice in the event of such change. Continued use of the Planet Store Services after any such change in the Service Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.

If charged, this cancellation fee shall be deemed the Fee for the cancelled Customer Services for the purpose of remittance to you hereunder (“Cancellation Fee”).

This coverage must also include any no-fault coverage required by law in the Territory that may not be waived by an insured. You agree to provide Company and its Affiliates a copy of the insurance policy, policy declarations, proof of insurance identification card and proof of premium payment for the insurance policy required in this Section 8.1 upon request. Furthermore, you must provide Company with written notice of cancellation of any insurance policy required by Company. Company shall have no right to control your selection or maintenance of your policy. You must be a named insured or individually rated driver, for which a premium is charged, on the insurance policy required in this Section 8.1 at all times.

8.2 You agree to maintain during the term of this Agreement workers’ compensation insurance as required by all applicable laws in the Territory. If permitted by applicable law, you may choose to insure yourself against industrial injuries by maintaining occupational accident insurance in place of workers’ compensation insurance. Furthermore, if permitted by applicable law, you may choose not to insure yourself against industrial injuries at all, but do so at your own risk.

8.3 You understand and acknowledge that your own insurance policy (e.g., automobile or other liability insurance policy) may not afford liability, comprehensive, collision, medical payments, personal injury protection, uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, damage to property in your care, custody and control, or other coverage for the Customer Services you provide pursuant to this Agreement. If you have any questions or concerns about the scope or applicability of your own insurance coverage, it is your responsibility, not that of Company, to resolve them with your insurer(s).

8.4 Company may maintain during the term of this Agreement insurance related to your provision of Customer Services as determined by Company in its reasonable discretion, provided that Company and its Affiliates are not required to provide you with any specific insurance coverage for any loss to your Transportation Method or injury to you. You are required to promptly notify Company of any accidents that occur while providing Customer Services and to cooperate and provide all necessary information related thereto.

12. Term and Termination

12.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date executed by you and shall continue until terminated as set forth herein. The parties acknowledge that the term of this Agreement does not reflect an uninterrupted service arrangement, as this Agreement guarantees you the right to choose when to make yourself available and each Customer Service request you accept via the Provider App is treated as a separate service arrangement.

14.4 Assignment. Neither party shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that Company may assign or transfer this Agreement or any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement from time to time without consent: (a) to an Affiliate; or (b) to an acquirer of all or substantially all of Company’s business, equity or assets.

14.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Supplemental Terms, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and replaces and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or undertakings regarding such subject matter.

15. Governing Law; Arbitration

15.1 Except as otherwise stated in Section 15.3, the interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the law of the state in which you perform the majority of the Customer Services (or if you have never performed Customer Services, the law of the state in which you reside), without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. Any disputes, actions, claims or causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Planet Store Services that are not subject to the arbitration clause contained in Section 15.3 shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in those jurisdictions where you perform the majority of the Customer Services (or if you have never performed Customer Services, the jurisdiction in which you reside). These provisions do not apply to the arbitration clause in Section 15.3, the delegation clause in Section 15.3, or any arbitrable disputes defined in Section 15.3. Instead, as described in Section 15.3, the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to such disputes or, if the FAA is found not to apply to such disputes, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which the majority of your Customer Services are provided shall apply (or if you have never performed Customer Services, the state in which you reside). The failure of Company to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Company in writing.

15.2 Other than disputes regarding the intellectual property rights of the parties and other claims identified in Section 15.3.ii, any disputes, actions, claims or causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Planet Store Services shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 15.3.

15.3 Arbitration Provision

Important Note Regarding this Arbitration Provision:


• Except as otherwise provided below, arbitration does not limit or affect the legal claims you may bring against the Company. Agreeing to arbitration only affects where any such claims may be brought and how they will be resolved.

• Arbitration is a process of private dispute resolution that does not involve the civil courts, a civil judge, or a jury. Instead, the parties’ dispute is decided by a private arbitrator selected by the parties using the process set forth herein. Other arbitration rules and procedures are also set forth herein.

• In arbitration, you will not be required to bear any type of fee or expense that you would not be required to bear if you filed the action in a court of law.

• IMPORTANT: Except as otherwise provided below, this Arbitration Provision will require you to resolve any claim that you may have against the Company or Planet Store on an individual basis. Except as otherwise provided below, this provision will also preclude you from initiating, participating in, or recovering any relief in a class, collective, or representative action against the Company, Planet Store, or Planet Store Affiliates. The availability of claims or actions under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq. (“PAGA”) is addressed separately below in the “Private Attorneys General Act” section.

• If you do not wish to be subject to this Arbitration Provision, you may opt out of the Arbitration Provision by following the instructions provided in Section 15.3(viii).


WHETHER TO AGREE TO ARBITRATION IS AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS DECISION. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO MAKE, AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AS IT IS NOT INTENDED TO CONTAIN A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARBITRATION. YOU SHOULD TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO CONDUCT FURTHER RESEARCH AND TO CONSULT WITH OTHERS — INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AN ATTORNEY — REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION, JUST AS YOU WOULD WHEN MAKING ANY OTHER IMPORTANT BUSINESS OR LIFE DECISION.

i. How This Arbitration Provision Applies.

This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”). Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Provision applies to any dispute, past, present or future, arising out of or related to this Agreement or formation or termination of the Agreement and survives after the Agreement terminates. Nothing contained in this Arbitration Provision shall be construed to prevent or excuse you from utilizing any informal procedure for resolution of complaints established in this Agreement (if any), and this Arbitration Provision is not intended to be a substitute for the utilization of such procedures. This agreement shall be governed by the FAA even in the event this Arbitration Provision is found to be exempt from the FAA as a matter of law. Any disputes in this regard shall be resolved exclusively by an arbitrator. In the event the arbitrator determines the FAA does not apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which the majority of your Customer Services are provided shall apply (or if you have never performed Customer Services, the state in which you reside).

Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Provision is intended to apply to the resolution of disputes that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law or before any forum other than arbitration, with the exception of proceedings that must be exhausted under applicable law before pursuing a claim in a court of law or in any forum other than arbitration. Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Provision requires all such disputes to be resolved only by an arbitrator through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis only and not by way of court or jury trial, or by way of class, collective, or representative action.

Except as provided in Section 15.3(v), below, regarding the Class Action Waiver and PAGA Waiver, such disputes include disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation, application, enforceability, revocability or validity of this Arbitration Provision, or any portion of the Arbitration Provision. This also includes disputes regarding whether the Arbitration Provision is governed by the FAA. All such matters shall be decided by an Arbitrator and not by a court or judge. As set forth in Section 15.3(v), the preceding sentences in this paragraph shall not apply to disputes relating to the Class Action Waiver or PAGA Waiver, defined below, including their interpretation, enforceability, revocability or validity. Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Provision also applies to all disputes between you and the Company or Planet Store, as well as all disputes between you and the Company’s or Planet Store fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, and all successors and assigns of any of them, including but not limited to any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement and disputes arising out of or related to your relationship with the Company or Planet Store, including the formation or termination of the relationship. Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Provision also applies to disputes regarding any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, termination, harassment, retaliation, discrimination, and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by the Company and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), Genetic Information Non- Discrimination Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other similar federal, state and/or local statutory and common law claims. This Arbitration Provision is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that lawfully can be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Provision are expressly excluded from arbitration. Planet Store, Inc. is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and the Arbitration Provision. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “the Company” shall be deemed to include Planet Store, Inc

ii. Limitations On How This Arbitration Provision Applies.

The disputes, claims, and requests for relief set forth below shall not be subject to arbitration and the requirement to arbitrate set forth in this Arbitration Provision shall not apply:

• Claims for workers compensation, state disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits;

• Disputes that are not permitted to be subject to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement pursuant to applicable Federal law or Executive Order;

• If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the PAGA Waiver set forth below in Section 15.3(v) to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, representative claims brought under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq. (“PAGA”);

• Disputes regarding your, the Company’s, or Planet Store intellectual property rights. Furthermore, nothing in this Arbitration Provision 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, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and nothing in this Agreement or Arbitration Provision prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision. Nothing in this Arbitration Provision 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.

iii. Selecting The Arbitrator and Location of the Arbitration.

The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Company and you. Unless you and the Company mutually agree otherwise; the Arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed to practice in the location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. If the parties cannot agree on an Arbitrator, then an arbitrator will be selected using the alternate strike method from a list of five (5) neutral arbitrators provided by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services). You will have the option of making the first strike. If a JAMS arbitrator is used, then the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures rules will apply; however, if there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. Those rules are available here: http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ The location of the arbitration proceeding shall be no more than 45 miles from the place where you provide the majority of your Delivery Services under this Agreement (or if you have never performed Delivery Services, from the city in which you reside), unless each party to the arbitration agrees in writing otherwise.

iv. Starting The Arbitration.

All claims in arbitration are subject to the same statutes of limitation that would apply in court. The party bringing the claim must demand arbitration in writing and deliver the written demand by hand or first class mail to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period. The demand for arbitration shall include identification of the parties, a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim(s), and a specification of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration made to the Company or Planet Store shall be provided to the following address: Legal, Pelican Cares Foundation, 3100 Bucklin Hill rd suite 220, Silverdale WA 98383. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration. A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such provisional relief.

v. How Arbitration Proceedings Are Conducted.

In arbitration, the parties will have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the Arbitrator. You and the Company agree to resolve any dispute that is in arbitration and subject to this Arbitration Provision on an individual basis only, and not on a class, collective action, or representative basis (“Class Action Waiver”). 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. The term< “representative” in this paragraph includes all representative actions that are subject to this Arbitration Provision, except for claims or actions under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq. (“PAGA”). Your ability to assert, participate in, or obtain recovery for PAGA claims or actions is addressed separately below in the subsection entitled “Private Attorneys General Act.” Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arbitration Provision, the Agreement, or the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, disputes regarding the enforceability, revocability o validity 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, and/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. While the Company will not take any retaliatory action in response to any exercise of rights you may have under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, if any, the Company shall not be precluded from moving to enforce its rights under the FAA to compel arbitration on the terms and conditions set forth in this Arbitration Provision.

Private Attorneys General Act.

To the extent permitted by law, you and Company agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq. (“PAGA”), in any court or in arbitration. This waiver shall be referred to as the “PAGA Waiver.” Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Arbitration Provision, the validity of the PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If the PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Arbitration Provision; (2) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Provision or the Parties’ attempts to arbitrate any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Provision; and (3) any representative actions brought under the PAGA must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 15.3(ii) of this Arbitration Provision. If the PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the Parties agree that the litigation of any representative PAGA claims in a civil court of competent jurisdiction shall be stayed, pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

vi. Paying For The Arbitration.

Each party will pay the fees for his, her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law (i.e., a party prevails on a claim that provides for the award of reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party). In all cases where required by law or by agreement of Company or its Affiliates, the Company will pay the Arbitrator's and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the Arbitrator’s and/or arbitration fees, you will not be required to bear any type of fee or expense that you would not be required to bear if you had filed the action in a court of law. Any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the Arbitrator as soon as practicable after the Arbitrator is selected, and Company shall bear all the Arbitrator’s and arbitration fees until such time as the Arbitrator resolves any such dispute.

vii. The Arbitration Hearing And Award.

The parties will arbitrate their dispute before the Arbitrator, who shall confer with the parties regarding the conduct of the hearing and resolve any disputes the parties may have in that regard. Within 30 days of the close of the arbitration hearing, or within a longer period of time as agreed to by the parties or as ordered by the Arbitrator, any party will have the right to prepare, serve on the other party and file with the Arbitrator a brief. The Arbitrator may award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in his or her individual capacity in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the Arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual in a court of law will be forfeited by virtue of this Arbitration Provision. The Arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter a judgment upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration.

viii. Your Right To Opt Out Of Arbitration.

Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of your contractual relationship with the Company. If you do not want to be subject to this Arbitration Provision, you may opt out of this Arbitration Provision by notifying the Company in writing of your desire to opt out of this Arbitration Provision, either by


(1) sending, within 30 days of the date this Agreement is executed by you, electronic mail to

support@planet.store, either from the email address associated with your customer services provider account or identifying that email address in the body of the email, stating your name and clearly indicating your intent to opt out of the Arbitration Provision or (2) by sending a letter by U.S. Mail, or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g, UPS, Federal Express, etc.), or by hand delivery to:



Legal

Pelican Cares Foundation

In order to be effective, the letter under option (2) must clearly indicate your intent to opt out of this Arbitration Provision and must be dated and personally signed. The envelope containing the signed letter must be received (if delivered by hand) or post-marked within 30 days of the date this Agreement is executed by you. Your writing opting out of this Arbitration Provision, whether sent by option (1) or (2), will be filed with a copy of this Agreement and maintained by the Company. Your decision to opt out of this Arbitration Provision will relieve you only of your obligation to arbitrate the disputes specified in this Arbitration Provision, and does not relieve you of any obligation to arbitrate disputes that might arise under any other arbitration agreements to which you and the Company, Planet Store, or any of Planet Store Affiliates may be bound. Similarly, your decision to opt out of another arbitration provision contained in any other agreement shall not relieve your obligation to arbitrate disputes pursuant to this Arbitration Provision. You acknowledge and agree that if Company modifies any provision of this Agreement other than provision in Section 15.3, you will not have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration. You further acknowledge and agree that if Company modifies (1) the addresses for hand delivery, mailing, or electronic mailing of opt-out notices identified in this Arbitration Provision, or (2) the portion of this Arbitration Provision listing the illustrative class, putative, and/or representative cases pending against Planet Store and Planet Store Affiliates, you will not have a renewed opportunity to opt of arbitration. If, however, Company modifies any provision of this Arbitration Provision other than (1) the addresses for hand delivery, mailing, or electronic mailing of opt-out notices or (2) the illustrative class, putative, and/or representative cases pending against Planet Store and Planet Store Affiliates, you will have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration. In such circumstances, the 30-day opt out period will begin to run upon your execution of the modified Agreement. Changes to any information referenced at hyperlinks from the Agreement or Arbitration Provision shall not create a renewed opportunity to opt-out. Should you not opt out of this Arbitration Provision within the 30-day period, you and the Company shall be bound by the terms of this Arbitration Provision. You have the right to consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Arbitration Provision. You understand that you will not be subject to retaliation if you exercise your right to assert claims or opt-out of coverage under this Arbitration Provision.
