PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY—IT AFFECTS THE PARTIES’ LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND TEMPMEE CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND TEMPMEE TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

THIS MUTUAL TERMS TO ARBITRATE (“ARBITRATION TERMS”) IS BETWEEN DENTAL AUXILIARY PERSONNEL (ALSO REFERRED TO IN THIS ARBITRATION TERMS AS “YOU”, “YOUR”) AND TEMPMEE. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (9 U.S.C. § 1 ET SEQ.) APPLIES TO THIS ARBITRATION TERMS, WHICH COMMENCE THE MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS BY TEMPMEE AND DENTAL AUXILIARY PERSONNEL TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES PROVIDE ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS TERMS. ALL DISPUTES COVERED BY THIS TERMS WILL BE DECIDED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION AND NOT BY WAY OF COURT OR JURY TRIAL.

A. CLAIMS COVERED BY THE ARBITRATION TERMS: This Arbitration Terms is intended to be as broad as legally permissible, and, except as it otherwise provides, applies to all claims or controversies, past, present, or future, that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law or before a forum other than arbitration. Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Terms applies to any dispute that TempMee may have against Dental Auxiliary Personnel or that Dental Auxiliary Personnel may have against TempMee, and/or any of its or their, past, present, or future: (i) officers, directors, shareholders, employees, members, agents, clients, customers or facilities utilizing the TempMee platform; (ii) parents, subsidiaries, affiliates; (iii) benefit plans or the plans’ sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates or agents; and (iv) successors or assigns. Each and all of which the individuals and entities listed in (i) – (iv) above may enforce this Terms as a direct or third-party beneficiary.

Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Terms applies, without limitation, to claims based upon or related to the Terms, Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s classification as independent contractors, Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s provision of Dental Care Services, Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s use of the Platform, any payments received by Dental Auxiliary Personnel through the Platform or arising out of or relating to the acceptance or performance of Dental Care Services arranged through the Platform, the termination of these Terms, and all other aspects of the Dental Auxiliary Personnel relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with TempMee, past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law.

The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the validity, scope, applicability, enforceability, or waiver of this Arbitration Terms including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Terms is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence does not apply to any claims under the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act.

B. LIMITATIONS ON HOW THIS ARBITRATION TERMS APPLIES AND CLAIMS NOT COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION TERMS: The following claims are not covered under this Arbitration Terms: (i) Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s compensation benefits, state disability insurance benefits or unemployment insurance benefits; however, these Terms apply to discrimination or retaliation claims based upon seeking such benefits; and (ii) disputes that an applicable federal statute expressly states cannot be arbitrated or subject to a pre-dispute arbitration Terms, including disputes that may not be subject to pre-dispute arbitration Terms under the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act.

Nothing in this Arbitration Terms prevents Dental Auxiliary Personnel from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with a governmental agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Terms prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Terms. Nothing in this Arbitration Terms prevents or excuses a party from exhausting administrative remedies by filing any charges or complaints required by any governmental agency before bringing a claim in arbitration. TempMee will not retaliate against Dental Auxiliary Personnel for filing a claim with an administrative agency. This Arbitration Terms also does not prevent or prohibit Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s in any way from reporting, communicating about, or disclosing claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or sexual abuse.

Either 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 relief. The court to which the application is made is authorized to consider the merits of the arbitrable controversy to the extent it deems necessary in making its ruling, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law. All determinations of final relief, however, will be decided in arbitration.

C. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and except as provided in this Terms, will be under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“AAA Rules”) (the AAA Rules are available via the internet at www.adr.org/commercial or by using a service such as Google to search for “AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules”); provided, however, if there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and this Arbitration Terms, this Arbitration Terms shall govern. Unless the parties jointly agree otherwise, the Arbitrator must be an attorney licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is convened, or a retired judge from any jurisdiction. In the event, however, either party asserts a claim or claims that include a covered ERISA claim, the parties agree the Arbitrator must be a retired federal judge from any jurisdiction. Unless the parties jointly agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in or near the city and in the state where Dental Auxiliary Personnel engaged or was last engaged by a Client on the TempMee Platform.

The Arbitrator will be selected as follows: The AAA will give each party a list of 11 arbitrators (who are subject to the qualifications in the preceding paragraph) drawn from its panel of arbitrators. Each party will have ten (10) calendar days to strike all names on the list it deems unacceptable. If only one common name remains on the lists of all parties, that individual will be designated as the Arbitrator. If more than one common name remains on the lists of all parties, the parties will strike names alternately from the list of common names by telephone conference administered by AAA, with the party to strike first to be determined by a coin toss conducted by AAA, until only one remains. If no common name remains on the lists of all parties, the AAA will furnish an additional list of 11 arbitrators from which the parties will strike alternately by telephone conference administered by AAA, with the party to strike first to be determined by a coin toss conducted by AAA, until only one name remains. That person will be designated as the Arbitrator. If the individual selected cannot serve, AAA will issue another list of 11 arbitrators and repeat the alternate striking selection process. If the AAA will not administer the arbitration or is unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Arbitration Terms, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with authority over the location where the arbitration will be conducted to appoint a neutral Arbitrator, who shall act under this Arbitration Terms with the same force and effect as if he or she had been specifically named herein.

The Arbitrator may award any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies will be limited to those that would be available to a party in their individual capacity for the claims presented to the Arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual under applicable law will be forfeited. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the Arbitrator shall apply the substantive federal, state, or local law applicable to the claims asserted. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to the proceeding. Either party may file dispositive motions, including without limitation a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment, and the Arbitrator will apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The Arbitrator will issue an award by written opinion within thirty (30) days from the date the arbitration hearing concludes or the post-hearing briefs (if requested) are received, whichever is later. The opinion will be in writing and include the factual and legal basis for the award. Judgment on the award issued by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may seek correction, confirmation or vacatur in a court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act.

D. NOTICE OF ARBITRATION DEMAND, COOLING OFF PERIOD, AND INFORMAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: TempMee and Dental Auxiliary Personnel agree that the party initiating the claim must make a written demand for arbitration of the claim to the other party no later than the expiration of the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) that the law prescribes for the claim. The demand for arbitration shall identify the claims asserted, the facts upon which such claims are based, and the relief or remedy sought. The demand for arbitration must be signed by the party making the demand for arbitration (Dental Auxiliary Personnel personally or authorized representative of TempMee, as applicable). Written demand for arbitration to TempMee must be sent to the addresses in Section 12. The Arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration and apply the statute of limitations that would have applied if the claim(s) had been brought in court.

The parties mutually agree that after a party initiates the claim by making a written demand for arbitration to the other, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by both parties, neither party will submit the demand to AAA for thirty (30) days after the demand is made (“Cooling Off Period”). During the Cooling Off Period, the parties may attempt in good faith to resolve the claim. The parties may also mutually agree to extend the Cooling Off Period. During the Cooling Off Period, either party may request an informal meeting to discuss in good faith a potential informal resolution of the dispute, without the need to go forward in an arbitration (“Informal Settlement Conference”). If timely requested, the Informal Settlement Conference will take place at a mutually agreeable time by telephone or videoconference. Dental Auxiliary Personnel and a TempMee representative must both personally participate; any counsel representing Dental Auxiliary Personnel or TempMee also may participate. The requirement of personal participation in an Informal Settlement Conference may be waived only if both Dental Auxiliary Personnel and TempMee agree in writing. At the end of the Cooling Off Period or if an Informal Settlement Conference is timely requested, 30 days after completion of the Informal Settlement Conference, and unless the parties have resolved the claim, the demand for arbitration will be submitted to AAA for administration by the party initiating the claim. The AAA’s address is as follows: American Arbitration Association, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043. The AAA’s current address and/or email address also may be found on its web site at www.adr.org. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, an arbitrator and/or AAA is without authority to accept or administer any arbitration demand unless and until the parties have complied with the demand for arbitration process and Cooling Off Period.

E. ARBITRATION FEES AND COSTS: Dental Auxiliary Personnel and TempMee shall follow the AAA Rules applicable to initial filing fees, but Dental Auxiliary Personnel will not be responsible for any portion of those fees in excess of the filing or initial appearance fees applicable to court actions in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. TempMee shall pay any remaining portion of the initial fee and will pay all costs and expenses unique to arbitration, including without limitation the Arbitrator’s fees. Each party will pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any, except that the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party as provided by law or contract. The Arbitrator will resolve any disputes regarding costs/fees associated with arbitration.

F. SANCTIONS: To the extent allowed by applicable law and if the claim(s) or counterclaim(s) brought by either party in arbitration allow for imposition of sanctions, the Arbitrator may award either party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable expenses associated with production of witnesses or proof, upon a finding that the claim or counterclaim was frivolous or brought solely to harass Dental Auxiliary Personnel or TempMee.

G. CONSTRUCTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS ARBITRATION TERMS: This is the complete Terms of the parties about arbitration of covered disputes. Any contractual disclaimers TempMee has in any handbooks, other Terms, or policies do not apply to this Arbitration Terms. Unless this Arbitration Terms is not entered into, deemed void, unenforceable, or invalid in its entirety, Dental Auxiliary Personnel and TempMee expressly agree that this Arbitration Terms supersedes and takes priority over any other Terms between the parties. If a court determines the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply to a particular dispute or to one or both parties, the parties agree that the arbitration law of the jurisdiction where the arbitration will take place will apply. This Arbitration Terms will survive the termination of Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s access to TempMee’s Platform.

Dental Auxiliary Personnel has the right to consult with counsel of Dental Auxiliary Personnel’s choice concerning this Arbitration Terms and to be represented by counsel at any stage during the arbitration process. If any provision of this Arbitration Terms is found to be invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, in whole or in part, that provision will be severed or modified and such adjudication will not affect the validity of the remainder of the Arbitration Terms. All remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

BY SIGNING THE TERMS PHYSICALLY, OR ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH DOCUSIGN OR OTHER ELECTRONIC MEANS, DENTAL AUXILIARY PERSONNEL IS AGREEING TO AND ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION TERMS, AND TEMPMEE AND DENTAL AUXILIARY PERSONNEL ARE GIVING UP RIGHTS TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL AND AGREEING TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES COVERED BY THE ARBITRATION TERMS.
