1. HOW COZYMEAL WORKS

The Cozymeal Website is a social scheduling platform that connects professional chefs, caterers, foodies, sommeliers, brewers and others who wish to host meals and other food events, such as dinner parties, cooking and/or mixology classes and culinary tours (each, a “Food and Alcohol Expert”) with users who enjoy attending and participating in such food events (each, a “Guest” or “Guests”), or anyone else who otherwise accesses or uses the Website (collectively, referred to as “User”, “user”, “Users”, or “users”). Food and Alcohol Experts create online profiles which feature their food preferences, meals they enjoy cooking, ingredients used, dates and menus for their upcoming food events and photos of previous and planned meals.

Food and Alcohol Experts may choose to host their own events or to cater the private events of their Guests, such as in-person or online cooking or mixology classes, private chef services, food tours, team building activities, in-person winery or brewery tours, catering services, and virtual wine and food tastings (each, an “Event”). In the event a Food and Alcohol Expert chooses to host an Event, the Food and Alcohol Expert will create and post a menu of the meal to be served, and the date and time of the Event. If a Guest decides they want to attend the Food and Alcohol Expert’s Event, the Guest can request a reservation to attend the Food and Alcohol Expert’s Event. Upon acceptance of such reservation by the Food and Alcohol Expert (such reserved Event, a “Booked Event”), Cozymeal will make available to the Guest, the necessary information for attendance of the Event and charge the Guest’s Member Account (as defined below) in accordance with Section 4 below.

In the event a Food and Alcohol Expert chooses to cater a private Event at a location designated by a Guest (a “Private Event”), the Guest will provide the Food and Alcohol Expert certain information about the desired Private Event, such as the date of the proposed Private Event, number of people who will attend, and any dietary restrictions. If a Food and Alcohol Expert decides that they are willing to host the proposed Private Event, the Food and Alcohol Expert will designate a fee for such Private Event. Upon acceptance of the proposed terms of the Private Event, including the applicable fees, by the Guest, Cozymeal will charge the Guest’s Member Account, at which time the Private Event will be deemed a Booked Event.

In addition, Food and Alcohol Experts may create meals available for home delivery (“Prepared Meals”). Food and Alcohol Experts are responsible for creating their menus and selecting their own ingredients. Availability of Prepared Meals are limited, may be subject to minimums set forth on the Website and are subject to the discretion of Food and Alcohol Experts.

Cozymeal may also offer additional products through its Website, such as cookbooks, recipes, ingredients, and merchandise. The Website, the services made available via the Website, and any products created, manufactured or distributed by or on behalf of Cozymeal in the conduct of its business may be referred to herein as the “Services”.

The Website acts as a venue to allow Food and Alcohol Experts and Guests to connect and arrange Events. You acknowledge and agree that Cozymeal is not a party to any arrangement between the Food and Alcohol Expert and Guest(s), and Cozymeal does not manage any Events listed on the Website. As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between a Food and Alcohol Expert and Guest, including the quality of the meal, ingredients used, food prepared, menu served, safety and condition of the venue provided, and the truth or accuracy of any Event listings (including the content thereof or any ratings and reviews) are solely the responsibility of each user.

You further understand that Cozymeal does not itself prepare food or offer delivery services, and has no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of any Food and Alcohol Expert or Guest. Cozymeal is not the retailer (unless otherwise noted) of any products offered by Food and Alcohol Experts on the Website, nor is Cozymeal in the delivery business or a common carrier. Cozymeal will not assess or guarantee the suitability, legality or ability of any Food and Alcohol Expert or Guest. You agree that Cozymeal is not responsible for any Food and Alcohol Expert’s food preparation or the safety of the food, and does not verify any Food and Alcohol Expert’s compliance with applicable laws or regulations. Cozymeal has no responsibility or liability for acts or omissions by any Food and Alcohol Expert or Guest.

(c) Cozymeal Electronic Gift Card

The Cozymeal electronic Gift Card program allows you to purchase and send a virtual gift card via email or text message.

You may choose when to have your electronic Gift Card delivered to the recipient, provided that your form of payment is approved. You authorize us to charge your credit card, debit card or other chosen electronic payment method at the time you purchase your electronic Gift Card regardless of the date you choose for delivery. By sending an electronic Gift Card, you affirm that you are sending the recipient a gift and consent to the recipient receiving the electronic Gift Card.

On the requested delivery date, we will send the recipient of your electronic Gift Card an email or text notifying them that they have received an electronic Gift Card from you. The recipient will then need to select their desired experience from a private chef meal, food tour, online cooking class gift, cookware, and other applicable products and services. We will also send you an email confirming receipt of your electronic Gift Card when the recipient opens the email or text. An electronic Gift Card is like a paper Gift Card and should be treated like cash by the recipient. For clarity, all provisions of these GC Terms and Conditions apply to an electronic Gift Card.

(d) Risk of Loss.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, COZYMEAL AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO GIFT CARDS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

We do not charge a fee for the Text Services; however, depending on your messaging plan, your mobile carrier may charge you for each message we send you or that you send us.

We assume no responsibility for charges incurred by your using the Text Services.

The Text Services may not be available in all areas at all times. SMS/MMS messages are distributed via a complex system of service providers and we cannot guarantee their availability or performance. This means we may not be able to successfully transmit SMS/MMS messages to you, and we have no liability for any such transmission delay or message failure. The Text Services may not work in the event of product, software, coverage, or other changes made by your wireless carrier or changes you make to your mobile device.

As such you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cozymeal, its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from and against any demand, claim, loss, suit, judgment, or proceeding (“Claim”) made by any third party due to or arising out of your and/or Your Guests’ alleged (i) breach or violation of any covenant, obligation or terms and conditions in these Terms or the Code of Conduct, (ii) negligence or misconduct, and/or (iii) violation of any applicable law while in attendance of any Event. You further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any Claim made by Your Guest(s) arising out of or in connection with any Event, including any losses, personal injuries, death, or any other occurrence or event whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall have no indemnification obligation under this Section 11 with respect to any Claims based upon or arising in whole or in part from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Cozymeal.

(b) From time to time, Cozymeal’s own employees may attend the Events hosted by our own members. If a Cozymeal employee has enjoyed their experience while in attendance of a Food and Alcohol Expert’s Event, Cozymeal may display the “Cozymeal Verified” name and logo next to the Food and Alcohol Expert’s name on their profile page (a “Cozymeal Verified Food and Alcohol Expert”). Verification simply denotes an overall positive experience by a Cozymeal employee while in attendance of one of such Food and Alcohol Expert’s Events. Verification of any Food and Alcohol Expert in the manner contemplated herein is in Cozymeal’s sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Cozymeal Verified Food and Alcohol Experts are individuals, and that Cozymeal has no control, or duty to control or monitor, any Cozymeal Verified Food and Alcohol Expert or any of their Events. You acknowledge that your experience at any Cozymeal Verified Food and Alcohol Expert’s Event may be different from the experience of Cozymeal. Further, Cozymeal does not endorse any Cozymeal Verified Food and Alcohol Expert, nor does Cozymeal make any representation, warranty, covenant, or other claim regarding such Food and Alcohol Expert, their Events, or the health and safety of the meals they prepare or the venue they provide.

(c) Certain Events, such as wine tastings, may be limited to attendees of 21 years of age or older. Please note that any person that attempts to attend such Events may be denied access and/or participation. In no event will any person be entitled to any refunds hereunder for failure to comply with any such age limitations.

24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER (All USERS OTHER THAN FOOD & ALCOHOL EXPERTS)

The below provisions in this Section 24 apply to all users of the Cozymeal’s Website and system, other than Food and Alcohol Experts. The dispute resolution/arbitration agreement applicable to Food and Alcohol Experts can be found below in Section 25.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT LIMITS THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN DISCOVERY OTHER THAN AS PERMITTED BY THE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES, INC. (“JAMS”), AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR COZYMEAL WOULD HAVE IN COURT, SUCH AS APPELLATE REVIEW, ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

For purposes of this Section 24, “Cozymeal” shall include its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns.

(a) Mandatory Notice Of Dispute And Informal Dispute Resolution Process

If you and Cozymeal have a Dispute (defined below), you and Cozymeal agree to make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally prior to initiating a formal arbitration proceeding. Before initiating an arbitration, you and Cozymeal each agree to first provide the other with a detailed written notice (“Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute must include (i) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of the person or entity providing the notice; (ii) a statement of the legal claims asserted and the factual basis for those claims; and (iii) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy.

If you provide a Notice of Dispute to Cozymeal, the Notice of Dispute must be mailed via first-class mail, FedEx, or UPS to: Cozymeal, ATTN: Legal Department, Cozymeal, Inc, 95 Third Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103. Your Notice of Dispute must include your personal signature. If Cozymeal provides you with a Notice of Dispute, Cozymeal will mail the notice via first-class mail, FedEx, or UPS to the billing address associated with your account and/or billing information (the “Notice Address”). If Cozymeal is unable to reach you at the Notice Address, it may provide a Notice of Dispute to you via email at the email address associated with your account.

If requested by the party that receives the Notice of Dispute, the other party must personally appear at and participate in a telephone settlement conference (if a party is represented by counsel, counsel may also participate) to discuss the Dispute.

For a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a complete Notice of Dispute, you and Cozymeal agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until the 60-day post-notice resolution period expires, which period may be extended by agreement of the parties. If an agreement cannot be reached within 60 days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or Cozymeal may commence an arbitration proceeding, pursuant to the procedure outlined below. Compliance with and completing this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any formal dispute resolution proceeding, including a demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.

If the sufficiency of a Notice of Dispute or compliance with this mandatory informal dispute resolution process is at issue, it may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party's election, and any formal dispute resolution proceeding shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration or the assessment or payment of arbitration fees. You or we may also elect to raise non-compliance with this informal dispute resolution process and seek relief in arbitration.

(b) ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE THROUGH THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS, DISAGREEMENTS, DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN YOU AND ANY COZYMEAL PARTIES, AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, PARENTS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES AND/OR RELATED COMPANIES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITES, TO THE USE OR ACCESS THEREOF, TO THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, MATERIALS, PROMOTIONS, PROGRAMS OR OTHER FEATURES OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE SITES, AND/OR TO THE APPLICATION, ENFORCEABILITY, SCOPE, OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ("DISPUTES"), SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THE SOLE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS REQUIREMENT ARE THAT (I) YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY, AS LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND IS NOT REMOVED OR APPEALED TO A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION AND ADVANCES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE BASIS); AND (II) EACH PARTY MAY BRING SUIT IN COURT TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. DISPUTE WILL BE GIVEN THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING PERMITTED BY LAW. IT INCLUDES CLAIMS THAT AROSE BEFORE THIS OR ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT OR THAT ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AND PROSECUTE ANY DISPUTES WITH COZYMEAL IN A COURT OF LAW OR BEFORE A JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS.

ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION (1) ADMINISTERED BY JAMS, PURSUANT TO THE JAMS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2021 (THE “JAMS RULES”), AND AS MODIFIED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; (2) CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE, NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR; AND (3) TAKE PLACE TELEPHONICALLY UNLESS AN IN-PERSON HEARING IS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BY EITHER PARTY. IF AN IN-PERSON HEARING IS REQUESTED, SUCH IN-PERSON HEARINGS SHALL TAKE PLACE IN THE COUNTY OF THE BILLING ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR MEMBER ACCOUNT, OR THE COUNTY WHERE YOU RESIDE, IN THE INSTANCE WHERE NO ACCOUNT EXISTS. TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CONFLICTS WITH THE JAMS POLICY ON CONSUMER ARBITRATIONS PURSUANT TO PRE-DISPUTE CLAUSES MINIMUM STANDARDS OF PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS (THE “MINIMUM STANDARDS”), THE MINIMUM STANDARD IN THAT REGARD WILL APPLY. You and a Cozymeal representative shall personally appear (with counsel if you and we are represented) at an initial telephone conference with a case manager before an arbitrator is appointed and at a hearing should one be scheduled by the arbitrator.

DISPUTES MAY ALSO BE REFERRED TO ANOTHER ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION IF YOU AND COZYMEAL AGREE IN WRITING, OR TO AN ARBITRATOR APPOINTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 OF THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. To commence an arbitration, a Demand for Arbitration is required to be executed and served on Cozymeal. Service of the Demand for Arbitration on Cozymeal can be mailed to Cozymeal Legal Department, Cozymeal, Inc, 95 Third Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, pursuant to the instructions provided by JAMS to submit a Dispute for arbitration. Service of the Demand for Arbitration on you will be sent to the Notice Address. Further instructions on submitting a Demand for Arbitration can be found at www.jamsadr.com/files/Uploads/Documents/JAMS_Arbitration_Demand.pdf.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms.

Except as expressly provided in this Dispute Resolution section, the 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 Dispute Resolution section including, but not limited to, a claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. The arbitrator shall have the authority under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 to issue sanctions against any party and counsel as a court would. In addition, the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Cozymeal will pay all fees and costs that we are required by law to pay.

BECAUSE THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY COZYMEAL CONCERNS INTERSTATE COMMERCE, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (“FAA”) GOVERNS THE ARBITRABILITY OF ALL DISPUTES. HOWEVER, APPLICABLE CALIFORNIA STATE OR U.S. FEDERAL LAW MAY ALSO APPLY TO THE SUBSTANCE OF ANY DISPUTES. YOU AND WE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU OR WE HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL.

(c) SPECIAL ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR MASS ARBITRATION. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Cozymeal by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (and your claim is one such claim), you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. You also agree to the following process. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Cozymeal shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any JAMS fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, the parties shall participate in a global mediation session before a retired state or federal court judge, and Cozymeal shall pay the mediator's fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining matters in mediation at this time, each side shall select twenty (20) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. (If there are fewer than forty (40) claims remaining, all shall proceed.) The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any JAMS fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the forty (40) proceedings, the parties shall participate in another global mediation session before a retired state or federal court judge, and Cozymeal shall pay the mediator's fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining matters in mediation at this time, this staged process shall continue with one hundred (100) cases proceeding at one time that are selected randomly or by JAMS in staged sets, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Between staged sets of proceedings, Cozymeal agrees to participate in a global mediation session should your counsel request it in an effort to resolve all remaining claims. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this Dispute Resolution section where a Notice of Dispute or Demand for Arbitration has been submitted, from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Cozymeal. Should a court of competent jurisdiction decline to enforce these "Special Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration," you and we agree that your and our counsel shall engage in good faith with the assistance of a Process Arbitrator to devise and implement procedures that ensure that arbitration remains efficient and cost-effective for all parties. Either party may engage with JAMS to address reductions in arbitration fees.

(c) NO CLASS ACTIONS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION OR ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. Further, unless both you and Cozymeal expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claim and the arbitrator may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general proceeding.

If a court determines that any of the prohibitions on non-individualized relief; class, representative, and private attorney general claims; and consolidation are unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or with respect to a particular request for relief (such as a request for injunctive relief), and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted (or the decision is otherwise final), then the parties agree that that particular claim or request for relief may proceed in court but shall be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims. Specifically, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 24 (Dispute Resolution), the arbitrator may not issue a "public injunction" and any such "public injunction," if permitted, may be awarded only by a federal or state court. If either party is permitted to seek a "public injunction," all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any such prayer or claim for a "public injunction" in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party's claim or prayer for "public injunctive relief." In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator. If this prohibition of class, representative, or consolidated arbitration is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

(d) Except as specifically provided in this section (e.g., the Additional Procedures for Mass Filings), if any part or parts of the mandatory informal dispute resolution process, arbitration agreement, class action waiver, is/are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to your Dispute, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, and the remainder of this section shall continue in full force and effect. The mandatory informal dispute resolution process, arbitration agreement, and class action waiver will survive the termination of these Terms.

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER (FOOD & ALCOHOL EXPERTS)

This Section 25 is applicable to Food and Alcohol Experts and the Company. Any references to “Arbitration Agreement” in this Section reference only the entirety of this “Section 25.”

(a) Important Notice Regarding this Arbitration Agreement. 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 neutral arbitrator selected by the parties using the process set forth herein. All disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement will be decided by a single arbitrator through final and binding arbitration and not by way of court or jury trial.

(b) How This Arbitration Agreement Applies. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”) and evidences a transaction involving commerce. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be as broad as legally permissible, and, except as it otherwise provided in Section 25(d), 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, including, without limitation, claims and disputes arising out of or related to: (1) this Arbitration Agreement, (2) any other agreement between Food and Alcohol Expert and Company, (3) Food and Alcohol Expert’s performance of services facilitated by the Company’s platform or website (4) the relationship and/or termination of relationship between Food and Alcohol Expert and Company. This Arbitration Agreement survives after the termination of Food and Alcohol Expert’s relationship with Company.

(c) Covered Disputes. Except as it otherwise provided in Sections 25(c)-(d), this Arbitration Agreement applies to any dispute that Company may have against Food and Alcohol Expert or that Food and Alcohol Expert may have against Company, and/or any of its: officers, directors, members, employees, or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise; parents, partners, subsidiaries and affiliates; successors or assigns; each and all of which may enforce this Arbitration Agreement

Except as it otherwise provided in Sections 25(c)-(d), this Arbitration Agreement also applies, without limitation, to all claims arising out of or related to Food and Alcohol Expert’s relationship with Company, including termination of the relationship, as well as claims based upon or related to defamation, breach of a contract or covenant, fraud, negligence, privacy, trade secrets, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wages, minimum wage and overtime or other compensation or any monies claimed to be owed, meal breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, termination, tort claims, common law claims, equitable claims, the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Company and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, False Claims Act, and all similar state laws, and any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or other governmental law, statute, regulation, or ordinance. Additionally, any claims or disputes regarding Food and Alcohol Expert’s relationship with Company and/or work and/or employment status with Company, including without limitation any claims that Food and Alcohol Expert should be classified as an employee of Company is arbitrable and covered under this Arbitration Agreement.

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 Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. But the preceding sentence does not apply to any claims under the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, and it does not apply to the Class Action Waiver or PAGA Individual Action Requirement, each as further described below. Notwithstanding any other clause or language in this Arbitration Agreement and/or any rules or procedures that might otherwise apply because of this Arbitration Agreement (including without limitation the JAMS Rules discussed below) or any amendments and/or modifications to those rules, any disputes concerning the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, and/or any claim that all or any portion of the Class Action Waiver or PAGA Individual Action Requirement is unenforceable, inapplicable, unconscionable, or void or voidable, will be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

(d) Limitation on How this Arbitration Agreement Applies. Claims or disputes that may not be subject to arbitration or pre-dispute arbitration agreement as expressly provided by a controlling federal statute are not covered by this Arbitration Agreement. If any claim(s) not covered under this Arbitration Agreement above are combined with claims that are covered under this Arbitration Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the covered claims will be arbitrated and continue to be covered under this Arbitration Agreement

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents Food and Alcohol Expert from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with a governmental agency, including without limitation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or law enforcement agencies, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Agreement. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement 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. This Arbitration Agreement also does not prevent or prohibit Food and Alcohol Expert 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.

(e) Class and Collective Action Waivers. Food and Alcohol Expert and Company agree to bring any claim on an individual basis only. Accordingly, COMPANY AND FOOD AND ALCOHOL EXPERT WAIVE ANY RIGHT FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT, HEARD, DECIDED, OR ARBITRATED AS A CLASS AND/OR COLLECTIVE ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO HEAR OR PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS AND/OR COLLECTIVE ACTION (“Class Action Waiver”). Additionally, no arbitration proceeding under this Arbitration Agreement may be consolidated or joined in any way with an arbitration proceeding involving claims by different individuals.

The Class Action Waiver will be severable from this Arbitration Agreement if there is a final judicial determination that it is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable. In such case, the class and/or collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction—not in arbitration—but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.

(f) California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) Individual Action Requirement. Food and Alcohol Expert and Company agree to arbitrate PAGA claims on an individual basis only (“PAGA Individual Action Requirement”). Therefore, any claim by Food and Alcohol Expert under PAGA to recover unpaid wages, civil penalties, or any other individual relief must be arbitrated under this Arbitration Agreement.  Company and Food and Alcohol Expert also agree that non-individual PAGA claims will be stayed and Food and Alcohol Expert will not pursue any such claims in Court until after the Arbitrator, and not any court, issues a final and written determination as to Food and Alcohol Expert’s status as an “aggrieved employee.” The Arbitrator is without authority to preside over any PAGA claim by Food and Alcohol Expert on behalf of any other person or joined by or consolidated with another person’s PAGA claim. This PAGA Individual Action Requirement clause will be severable from this Arbitration Agreement if there is a final judicial determination that it is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable.  In such case, the PAGA action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction—not in arbitration—but the portion of this PAGA Individual Action Requirement clause that is enforceable will be enforced in arbitration.

(g) Initiating Arbitration. Company and Food and Alcohol Expert agree that the party initiating the claim must make a written demand for arbitration of the claim to the other party by the expiration of the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) that the law prescribes for the claim. The demand for arbitration must be signed by the party making the demand for arbitration (Food and Alcohol Expert or authorized representative of Company, as applicable). The demand for arbitration shall identify the claim(s) asserted and relief and/or remedy sought. Written demand by Food and Alcohol Expert must be delivered to Company’s agent (Attn: Cozymeal, Inc., 95 Third Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103) with a copy via email to legal@cozymeal.com. Written demand by Company must be delivered to the address on record for Food and Alcohol Expert. 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) been brought in court.

(h) Arbitration Procedure. The dispute will be decided by a single decision-maker, called the arbitrator, through a company called JAMS, which is the world’s largest private alternative dispute resolution Food and Alcohol Expert. The arbitrator will be mutually selected by Company and Food and Alcohol Expert. 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 with experience in the subject matter of the dispute, or a retired judge from any jurisdiction. If the parties cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator, then an arbitrator will be selected as follows: JAMS will give each party a list of 11 arbitrators (who are subject to the qualifications listed in the preceding sentence) drawn from its panel of arbitrators. The parties will strike names alternately from the list of names by telephone conference administered by JAMS, with the party to strike first to be determined by a coin toss conducted by JAMS, until only one remains. That person will be designated as the arbitrator. If the individual selected cannot serve, JAMS will repeat the alternate striking selection process. If JAMS will not administer the arbitration, 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 Agreement with the same force and effect as if he or she had been specifically named herein.

(i) Fees and Costs of Arbitration. Food and Alcohol Expert and Company will pay the fees and costs of arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Rules (defined below) and applicable law. However, in all cases where required by law, Company will pay the costs and fees unique to arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees. In the event applicable law requires a different allocation of arbitral fees and costs in order for this Arbitration Agreement to be enforceable, then such law will be followed. Each party will pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any, but if any party prevails on a claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, the arbitrator is authorized to award reasonable fees to the prevailing party as provided by law. The arbitrator will resolve any disputes regarding costs/fees associated with arbitration.

The arbitration shall be under the then current provisions and procedures set forth in JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”); provided however, that if there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall govern.

The parties shall cooperate to the greatest extent practicable in the voluntary exchange of documents and information to expedite the arbitration. Food and Alcohol Expert and Company are entitled to adequate civil discovery sufficient to explore the factual basis of the claims and defenses asserted. Therefore, after selection of the arbitrator, each party may take the deposition of 3 individual fact witnesses and any expert witness designated by another party. Each party also may propound requests for production of documents to the other party. Each party shall also have the right to subpoena witnesses and documents for discovery or the arbitration hearing, including testimony and documents relevant to the case from third parties, in accordance with any applicable state or federal law. Additional discovery may be conducted by mutual stipulation, and the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to entertain requests for additional discovery, and to grant or deny such requests, based on the arbitrator’s determination whether additional discovery is warranted by the circumstances of a particular case.

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 shall have the authority to rule on motions (including the power to issue orders and determine appropriate remedies) regarding discovery and to issue any protective orders necessary to protect the privacy and/or rights of parties and/or witnesses.

(j). Arbitration Hearing and Award. Unless the parties jointly agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in or near the city in which Food and Alcohol Expert currently or last performed services facilitated by the Company’s platform. 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 Agreement. However, the arbitrator shall only be permitted to award those remedies in law or equity which are requested by the Parties and which are supported by the credible, relevant evidence. The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judicial review shall be governed by the FAA.

(k) Entire Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements relating to arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by both parties.

(l) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of Food and Alcohol Expert’s contractual agreement with Company.
