Users of the Service will be required to provide their credit card or bank account details to Company and the Payment Service Provider retained by Company (the “PSP”).

Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Assignment (the “Invoice”), which will include the pricing terms of the Assignment agreed with and provided by a Provider (“Assignment Payment”), any out of pocket expenses agreed with and submitted by a Provider in connection with the Assignment, any tip or gratuity, if applicable, and the fee the Company assesses for the Service, based on the Assignment Payment amount.  Client agrees to pay all Invoices by the date and according to the terms set forth therein.  Any late payment may be automatically charged to the Client’s account and shall bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per month.

Providers may be required to register with the PSP, agree to Terms of Service of the PSP and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up their account with the PSP. Terms of Service between Providers and the PSP retained by Company are available here (the “PSP Agreement”). By accepting these Terms of Use, each Provider agrees that they have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to the PSP Agreement. Please note that the Company is not a party to the PSP Agreement and that you, the PSP and any other parties listed in the PSP Agreement (currently, Stripe) are the parties to the PSP Agreement and that the Company has no obligations or liability to any Provider under the PSP Agreement.  Provider agrees that Company is not responsible for payment, and that all payments are based on hours reported by the Client.  Company will not be responsible for any disputes or discrepancies.  Client agrees that Company shall have no obligation to process any refund or reimbursement after a payment has been made to a Provider and that Company shall not be responsible for adjustments to payments or hours worked for which Client fails to provide timely written notice to Company.

Payments for each shift assignment must be submitted within three (3) business days of the shift end time. If the Client fails to make timely payments, Jobble reserves the right to charge the credit card or bank account on file for the amounts owed to Jobblers and the Jobble platform fee. In such an event, Jobble shall provide the Client with a notice of such charge.

Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion (but not the obligation), to (i) place on hold any Assignment Payment and out of pocket expenses, or (ii) refund, provide credits or arrange for the PSP to do so. 

Cancellation: To cancel or make changes to a scheduled shift, the client must provide notice at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled start time of the shift. If notice of cancellation or change occurs less than 3 business days prior to the start date, a fee of 50% of the Per Shift Pay Rate plus Platform Fee will be charged. A cancellation charge will not apply under the following circumstances: (1) If the shift is canceled more than 3 business days before the shift start time. (2) If there is no Jobbler assigned to the shift, even if the shift is canceled within 3 business days before the shift start time.

Direct Hire Fee: If the Client wishes to hire a Jobbler directly within 6 months of their last work with the client, a Direct Hire Fee will be charged by Jobble. The fee for the hire will be based on the number of hours worked by the Jobbler for the client. For hours worked 0-500, the fee is $2,500, and for hours worked over 500, the fee is $0. Client agrees to notify Jobble of such direct hire or engagement of the Jobbler and shall provide a minimum of 3 business days notice prior to converting the Jobbler to a direct hire employee. Failure to provide at least 3 business days notice will result in an additional $100 fee in addition to the Direct Hire Fee.

Dispute Resolution

INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to Company. Company’s address for such notices is Jobble, Inc., 1 Lincoln Street, 24th Floor, Attn: Jobble Inc. Boston, MA 02111 Attention: Legal.

BINDING ARBITRATION. If you and Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Service (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

EXCEPTIONS TO ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court in Boston, Massachusetts with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. You and Company agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Company and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” Section will be deemed null and void.

LOCATION OF ARBITRATION. Arbitration will take place in Boston, Massachusetts. You and Company agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the Massachusetts state and Federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts have exclusive jurisdiction and you and Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Governing Law

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the subsection entitled “Exceptions to Alternative Dispute Resolution” above is found to be illegal or unenforceable, neither you nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of that subsection that is found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Boston, Massachusetts, and you and Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
