10.2Arbitration Agreement
Subject to the mediation provisions set out above, you and Hoper agree that if any dispute or controversy occurs between the Parties relating to the interpretation or implementation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the dispute will be resolved by arbitration at Canadian Arbitration Association pursuant to the general Canadian Arbitration Association Rules for Arbitration.

10.3 Agreement to Binding Arbitration between You and Hoper.
Subject to the mediation provisions and except as expressly provided in this agreement, you and Hoper agree that ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN you and Hoper (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND Hoper. These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: this Agreement (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof), the Hoper Rush Platform, the Services, any other goods or services made available through the Hoper Rush Platform, your relationship with Hoper, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User Account or this Agreement, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Hoper, any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under any state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims.

10.4Rules governing the Arbitration:
Subject to the mediation provisions and except as expressly provided in this agreement, you and Hoper agree that ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN you and Hoper (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND Hoper at Canadian Arbitration Association (CAA) pursuant to the general Canadian Arbitration Association Rules for Arbitration.
Copies of these rules can be obtained at the CAA’s website (https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca) and more specifically at: https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca/arbitration/regular-arbitration/arbitration-rules/ (the “CAA Rules”) or by calling the CAA at 1-800-850-5154.

As part of the arbitration, both you and Hoper will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different parties.
Subject to the mediation provisions and except as expressly provided in this agreement, you and Hoper agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.

An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect.
10.6Cost and fees:
Your responsibility to pay any CAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the CAA Rules subject to the following modifications:
If you initiate arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement after participating in the optional Negotiation process described in subsection 10 below and are otherwise required to pay a filing fee under the relevant CAA Rules, Hoper agrees that, unless your claim is for $5,000 or more, your share of the filing and arbitration fees is limited to $150, and that, after you submit proof of payment of the filing fee to Hoper , will promptly reimburse you for all but $150 of the filing fee. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Rules of Civil Procedure’s Rule 2.1.01(1) – STAY, DISMISSAL OF FRIVOLOUS, VEXATIOUS, ABUSIVE PROCEEDING., then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the CAA Rules.
If Hoper initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, Hoper will pay all CAA filing and arbitration fees.

However, if you are the party initiating the claims as mentioned in this para(3) , you shall be responsible for contributing up to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you provide Services to users, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you pursuant to the CAA Rules, applicable law, or clause (1) above. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator.
If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Hoper’s last written settlement offer made after you participated in good faith in the optional Negotiation process described in subsection 10.10 below, then Hoper will pay you the amount of the award or Canadian $1,000, whichever is greater.
At the end of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to you if you prevail, to the extent authorized by applicable law.
10.7 Location and Procedure:
Unless you and Hoper otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Hoper submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the CAA Rules. Subject to the CAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
10.8 Process:
A party who desires to initiate arbitration shall deliver a Notice of Arbitration to the other party and shall at the same time deliver a copy of the Notice of Arbitration to the Canadian Arbitration Association specified in the CAA Rules.

If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (5) days of delivery of the Notice of Arbitration or Arbitration Agreement and filing fee by the CAA , then the CAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the CAA Rules.
10.9Severability and Survival.
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

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 the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, the class, collective, and/or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.
10.4Rules governing the Arbitration:
Subject to the mediation provisions and except as expressly provided in this agreement, you and Hoper agree that ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN you and Hoper (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND Hoper at Canadian Arbitration Association (CAA) pursuant to the general Canadian Arbitration Association Rules for Arbitration.
Copies of these rules can be obtained at the CAA’s website (https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca) and more specifically at: https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca/arbitration/regular-arbitration/arbitration-rules/ (the “CAA Rules”) or by calling the CAA at 1-800-850-5154. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of CAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding.
As part of the arbitration, both you and Hoper will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different parties.
Subject to the mediation provisions and except as expressly provided in this agreement, you and Hoper agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
10.5 Arbitrator’s Decision and Awards;
The arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act (Ontario).
The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the CAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect.
10.6Cost and fees:
Your responsibility to pay any CAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the CAA Rules subject to the following modifications:
If you initiate arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement after participating in the optional Negotiation process described in subsection 10 below and are otherwise required to pay a filing fee under the relevant CAA Rules, Hoper agrees that, unless your claim is for $5,000 or more, your share of the filing and arbitration fees is limited to $150, and that, after you submit proof of payment of the filing fee to Hoper , will promptly reimburse you for all but $150 of the filing fee. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Rules of Civil Procedure’s Rule 2.1.01(1) – STAY, DISMISSAL OF FRIVOLOUS, VEXATIOUS, ABUSIVE PROCEEDING., then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the CAA Rules.
If Hoper initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, Hoper will pay all CAA filing and arbitration fees.
With respect to any Claims brought by Hoper against a Hoper Lady, or for Claims brought by a Hoper LADY against HOPER that: (A) are based on an alleged employment relationship between Hoper Lady and Hoper; (B) arise out of, or relate to, Hoper’s actual deactivation of a Hoper Lady’s User account or a threat by Hoper to deactivate a Hoper Lady’s User account; (C) arise out of, or relate to, Hoper’s actual termination of a Hoper Lady’s Agreement with Hoper under the termination provisions of this Agreement, or a threat by Hoper to terminate a Hoper Lady’s Agreement; or (D) arise out of, or relate to, charges/rates or service charges (as defined in this Agreement, including Hoper’s commission on the charges), tips, or average hourly guarantees owed by Hoper to Hoper Lady for Services, other than disputes relating to referral bonuses, other Hoper promotions, or consumer-type disputes , Hoper shall pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court), including the regular and customary arbitration fees and expenses (to the extent not paid by Hoper pursuant to the fee provisions above). However, if you are the party initiating the claims as mentioned in this para(3) , you shall be responsible for contributing up to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you provide Services to users, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you pursuant to the CAA Rules, applicable law, or clause (1) above. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator.
If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Hoper’s last written settlement offer made after you participated in good faith in the optional Negotiation process described in subsection 10.10 below, then Hoper will pay you the amount of the award or Canadian $1,000, whichever is greater.
At the end of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to you if you prevail, to the extent authorized by applicable law.
10.7 Location and Procedure:
Unless you and Hoper otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Hoper submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the CAA Rules. Subject to the CAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
10.8 Process:
A party who desires to initiate arbitration shall deliver a Notice of Arbitration to the other party and shall at the same time deliver a copy of the Notice of Arbitration to the Canadian Arbitration Association specified in the CAA Rules.
The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the Province of Ontario and will be selected by the parties from the CAA's roster of qualified arbitrators arbitrator, if available, in accordance with the appointing provisions in or applicable to the Arbitration Agreement. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (5) days of delivery of the Notice of Arbitration or Arbitration Agreement and filing fee by the CAA , then the CAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the CAA Rules.
10.9Severability and Survival.
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
10.10Optional Negotiation Process prior to Mediation and Arbitration Process:
Before initiating any mediation and the arbitration or proceeding, you and Hoper may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and Hoper. A party who intends to seek negotiation under this subsection must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability or for impeachment, in mediation or arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.
