Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules which may be found at https://www.adr.org/Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration will be before a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration will be Tacoma, Washington, United States of America.

You hereby relinquish, forfeit, and give up the right to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement by a judge and/or a jury.

You agree that arbitration in no way limits the relief that any party may seek in the jurisdiction in which arbitration has been filed. EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both PeopleReady and you agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action you may have arising from, connected with, or related to your use of the Services, this Agreement, or any related matters must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises, after which time the claim or cause of action is forever barred, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all provisions necessary for their interpretation or enforcement, will survive indefinitely after the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the parties as applicable. The provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of PeopleReady and the Providers and each of their respective successors and assigns and related persons, and you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and personal representatives, and all persons you represent and their respective successors, assigns, and related persons.

No consent to or waiver of, by any party, any breach or default by any other party in its performance of its obligations under this Agreement will be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of a continuing breach or default or any other breach or default of those or any other obligations of that party. No consent or waiver will be effective unless in writing and signed by all parties. Any rights not expressly granted by this Agreement are reserved to PeopleReady.

PeopleReady reserves the right to inform law enforcement of any illegal activity or material we suspect or discover on, through, or otherwise related to the Services and to provide law enforcement officials with all requested information about the user account from which the illegal activity or material originated.
