Any disputes in this regard shall be resolved exclusively by an arbitrator. In the event, but only in the event, the arbitrator determines the FAA does not apply, the state law of the State of Delaware regarding arbitration agreements shall apply.

3.     Only an arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Mutual Arbitration Provision. However, as stated in Section 14.8 below, the preceding clause shall not apply to the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver.

4.     BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AGREE THAT ALL SUCH DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY WAY OF A COURT OR JURY TRIAL.

8.     Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, this Mutual Arbitration Provision, or the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver and/or Representative Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable shall be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. As stated above, all other disputes regarding interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Mutual Arbitration Provision shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator.

9.     The Expert agrees and acknowledges that entering into this Mutual Arbitration Provision does not change the Expert's status as an independent contractor in fact and in law. The Expert further agrees that when performing services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, The Expert is not doing so as an employee of iAdvize, a merchant, or a customer. The Expert further agrees that any disputes in this regard shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator.

10.  Any arbitration shall be governed by the AAA Rules, except as follows: (1) The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute; (2) iAdvize shall pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees and costs, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding applicable law to the contrary, iAdvize shall pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees and costs related to any payment dispute; (3) The arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party's claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes; (4) Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable; (5) The arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions; (6) The arbitrator's decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law; (7) Either iAdvize or the Expert may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this Section 14 may be rendered ineffectual.

11.  Regardless of any other terms of this Agreement, nothing prevents the Expert 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 Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. This Mutual Arbitration Provision also does not prevent federal administrative agencies from adjudicating claims and awarding remedies based on the claims addressed in this Section 14, even if the claims would otherwise be covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Nothing in this Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents or excuses a party from satisfying any conditions precedent and/or exhausting administrative remedies under applicable law or as required under this Agreement before bringing a claim in arbitration. iAdvize will not retaliate against Expert for filing a claim with an administrative agency or for exercising rights (individually or in concert with others) under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

If the Expert does not opt out within thirty (30) days of the Expert’s execution of this Agreement, the Expert’s failure to do so shall constitute mutual acceptance of the terms of this Mutual Arbitration Provision by iAdvize and Expert.

14.  The Expert’s decision to opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will relieve the Expert only of the Expert's obligation to arbitrate the disputes specified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Similarly, the Expert's decision to opt out of another arbitration provision contained in any other agreement shall not relieve the Expert's obligation to arbitrate disputes pursuant to this Mutual Arbitration Provision.

15.  The Expert acknowledges and agrees that if iAdvize modifies any provision of this Agreement other than this Mutual Arbitration Provision, the Expert will not have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration. The Expert further acknowledges and agrees that if iAdvize modifies the addresses for delivery or electronic mailing of opt-out or other notices identified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision, the Expert will not have a renewed opportunity to opt of arbitration. If, however, iAdvize modifies any provision of this Mutual Arbitration Provision other than the addresses for delivery or electronic mailing of opt-out or other notices, the Expert will have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration. In such circumstances, the 30-day opt out period will begin to run upon the Expert’s digital execution of the modified Agreement. Changes to any information referenced at hyperlinks from the Agreement or Mutual Arbitration Provision shall not create a renewed opportunity to opt out.

a.     The Expert has the right to consult with private counsel of the Expert's choice, at the Expert's own expense, with respect to any aspect of, or any claim that may be subject to this Mutual Arbitration Provision.

b.     In the event any portion of this Mutual Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will be enforceable. 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 and/or Representative Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, the class, collective, or representative action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of in the State of Delaware, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver that is valid and enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.

In the event any portion of the Mutual Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, or if the Expert has opted out of the Mutual Arbitration Provision in compliance with Section 14.13 above, the relevant contracting parties expressly agree to submit any disputes not subject to the Mutual Arbitration Provision to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware.
