If you are unable or unwilling to complete such Conditional Offer Requirements to the satisfaction of the Requestor, you must notify the Requestor and rescind your acceptance of the Open Request within 24 hours of acceptance. Some of Conditional Offer Requirements will require the Requestor or their designated third-party provider to ask for your social security number and share it with entities who require the information to facilitate the Conditional Offer Requirements.
2.2 Best Efforts. By registering to become a JobCaller and accepting an Open Request, you agree to use your best efforts to perform the JobCall Engagement such that your work meets the requirements and specifications of the Requestor.

Do not accept an Open Request unless you are sure that: (1) you understand what you are being asked to deliver; (2) you can perform the work identified in the Open Request; (3) you can deliver the work in the requested time period; and if required, you can get to and from the Requestor’s location.

You agree to not possess, sell, receive, or operate under the influence of any drugs or alcohol while performing any JobCall Engagement.
Requestors shall make Payment to a JobCaller provided that the JobCaller has performed work in accordance with the JobCall Engagement. Requestors shall use their best efforts to notify a JobCaller of any issues with the work being performed under a JobCall engagement and to provide the JobCaller an opportunity to correct the performance prior to notifying a JobCaller to cease work under the JobCall Engagement or when deciding not to render any portion of the Payment to the JobCaller performing the JobCall Engagement.

9. ARBITRATION PROVISION
9.1 Law. Except for the “Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration And Class Action Waiver” below, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, this Agreement or any claim, cause of action or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles.
9.2 Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver (“Arbitration Agreement”). JobCall and Customer mutually agree to resolve any justiciable disputes between them exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of filing a lawsuit in court. This Arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and, except as otherwise provided in this Arbitration provision, shall apply to any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, all aspects of the Customer’s relationship with JobCall, past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law, including without limitation harassment, discrimination or retaliation claims and claims arising under or related to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, or Fair Labor Standards Act, state statutes or regulations addressing the same or similar subject matters, claims based on a joint employment or misclassification theory, and all other federal or state legal claims. The agreement by Customer and JobCall to mutually arbitrate disputes provides consideration for this Arbitration provision. This Arbitration provision applies to claims and disputes that JobCall may have against Customer and/or that Customer may have against JobCall, and (1) its affiliates and partners (2) its officers, directors, employees, or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise, and/or (3) all successors and assigns of any of them; any and all of which may enforce this Arbitration provision.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the formation, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or alleged waiver of this Arbitration provision including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration provision is void or voidable.
This Arbitration provision does not apply to any claim that may not be arbitrated as provided by governing law. This Arbitration provision also does not apply to Private Attorney General Action claims under California law, which may only be brought in a court of law—not in arbitration.
(a) If either party wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by Customer may be delivered to JobCall Inc. 88 Glocker Way #262 Pottstown, PA 19465 so long as the details set forth in the previous sentence are presented in the demand for arbitration.
(b) Class Action Waiver. JobCall and Customer mutually agree that by entering into this Arbitration provision, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action and/or collective action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class and/or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class and/or collective action and (2) there is a final determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction (if at all), but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
(d) Any arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), although the parties may stipulate that the arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Employment Arbitration Rules, depending on the claims at issue. In addition to and to the extent inconsistent with the foregoing AAA Rules, the following rules shall apply to any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement, unless the parties stipulate otherwise:
(1) The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney or retired judge with experience in the law underlying the dispute.
(2) If the parties cannot otherwise agree on a location for the arbitration, the arbitration shall take place in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
(3) Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the Arbitrator, the party that initiates arbitration, must bear the extent of the Arbitrators costs and fees (if any) as that party would be required to bear in bringing and maintaining a comparable legal proceeding outside of arbitration.
(4) The Arbitrator shall be empowered to order such discovery, by way of deposition, interrogatory, document production, or otherwise, as the arbitrator considers necessary to a full and fair exploration of the issues in dispute, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes.
(5) Except as provided in the Class 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.
(6) 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.
(7) The Arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law. The award issued by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(8) A party 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 paragraph may be rendered ineffectual; provided, however, that all determinations of final relief shall be decided in arbitration, and pursuing the temporary or preliminary injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of rights under this agreement to arbitrate.
(e) Regardless of any other terms of this arbitration agreement, claims may be brought before and remedies awarded by an administrative agency (such as the National Labor Relations Board, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, or similar state or local administrative agencies) if applicable law permits access to such an agency notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
(f) The AAA Rules may be found at https://www.adr.org/Rules.
(g) This Arbitration provision is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Agreement. In the event any portion of this Arbitration provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Arbitration provision will be enforceable. Therefore, terms of this Arbitration provision shall be severed, to the smallest extent possible, if required to uphold the enforceability of this Arbitration provision.

19.9 JobCall's Liability.
(a) The Application act as, among other things, venues for (i) Customers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates and (ii) candidates to post Profiles and search for and evaluate job opportunities. JobCall does not screen or censor the listings, including Profiles offered. JobCall is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between Customers and JobCallers. As a result, JobCall is not responsible for Customer Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of Customers to offer job opportunities to JobCallers or the ability of JobCallers to fill job openings and JobCall makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or Customer Content on the Applications. While JobCall reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove Customer Content, job ads, resumes or other material from the Application from time to time, JobCall does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.
(b) THERE ARE RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK OF PHYSICAL HARM, OF DEALING WITH STRANGERS, UNDERAGE PERSONS OR PEOPLE ACTING UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. CUSTOMER ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEALING WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH WHOM CUSTOMERS COME IN CONTACT THROUGH THE APPLICATION. BY ITS VERY NATURE OTHER PEOPLE’S INFORMATION MAY BE OFFENSIVE, HARMFUL OR INACCURATE, AND IN SOME CASES WILL BE MISLABELED OR DECEPTIVELY LABELED. WE EXPECT THAT CUSTOMER WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THE APPLICATION.
(c) Because Customer authentication on the Internet is difficult, JobCall cannot and does not confirm that each Customer is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in Customer-to-Customer dealings or control the behavior of participants on the Application, in the event that Customers have a dispute with one or more Customers, Customers release JobCall (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes to the fullest extent permitted by law.

JobCall cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the Application. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a Customer from JobCall or through or from the Application shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
(e) If Customer is a California resident, Customer waives California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
(f) JobCall encourages Customers to keep a back-up copy of any of your content. To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall JobCall be liable for the deletion, loss, or unauthorized modification of any content.
(g) JobCall does not provide or make any representation as to the quality or nature of any of the third party products or services purchased through the Application, or any other representation, warranty or guaranty.
