Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available atwww.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004175 and a separate form for California residents at www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the applicable state and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless Driver and Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Travis County, Texas, the jurisdiction of Company’s principal place of business. If Driver’s claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents Driver and Company submit to the arbitrator, unless Driver requests a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If Driver’s claim exceeds $10,000, Driver’s right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA 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.

Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules.

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. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

Fees. Driver’s responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if Driver’s claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Company will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Driver’s claim or the relief sought in Driver’s Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if Company changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date Driver first accepted this agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this agreement), Driver may reject any such change by sending written notice (including by email to taxiconect@gmail.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above or in the date of Company’s email to Driver notifying Driver of such change.
