12. Dispute Resolution. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH DOORDASH AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 11 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
(a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services as a User of the Services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding DoorDash or the Services, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Services that you received as a User of our Services, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with DoorDash as a User of our Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or DoorDash may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.
CASES HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST DOORDASH—AND OTHERS MAY BE FILED IN THE FUTURE—THAT ATTEMPT TO ASSERT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, AND BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT YOU ELECT NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH CASES.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH DOORDASH, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST DOORDASH IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
(b) Informal Resolution. You and DoorDash agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and DoorDash therefore agree that, before either you or DoorDash demands arbitration against the other, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by this mutual Arbitration Agreement. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference. The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of its, his, or her intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within 60 days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify DoorDash that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, email [email protected], providing your name, telephone number associated with your DoorDash account (if any), the email address associated with your DoorDash account, and a description of your claim. In the interval between the party receiving such notice and the informal dispute resolution conference, the parties shall be free to attempt to resolve the initiating party’s claims. Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
(c) Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) in all respects. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to paragraph 11(b). If this notice is being sent to DoorDash, it must be sent by email to the counsel who represented DoorDash in the informal dispute resolution process, or if there was no such counsel then by mail to General Counsel, at 303 2nd Street, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA, 94107. The arbitration will be conducted by ADR Services, Inc. under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Arbitration demands filed with ADR Services, Inc. must include (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, enumerated in United States Dollars (any request for injunctive relief or attorneys’ fees shall not count toward the calculation of the amount in controversy unless such injunctive relief seeks the payment of money); and (4) the signature of the party seeking arbitration. Disputes shall be subject to ADR Services, Inc.’s most current version of its Arbitration Rules, available as of December 21, 2020 at https://www.adrservices.com/services/arbitration-rules or by calling ADR Services, Inc. at 310-201-0010. The fees that shall apply to arbitrations administered by ADR Services, Inc. are set forth on ADR Services, Inc.’s website, available as of December 21, 2020 at https://www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/. Specifically, the fees set forth in ADR Services, Inc.’s Mass Employment Arbitration Fee Schedule shall apply when twenty (20) or more arbitration claims are filed which: (1) involve the same or similar parties; (2) are based on the same or similar claims which arise from the same or substantially identical transactions, incidents, or events requiring the determination of the same or substantially identical questions of law or fact; and (3) involve the same or coordinated counsel for the parties. In all other circumstances, the fees set forth in ADR Services, Inc.’s General Fee Schedule shall apply, except that DoorDash will pay the portion of the initial case opening fees (if any) that exceeds the filing fee to file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction embracing the location of the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by ADR Services, Inc.’s rules. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay ADR Services, Inc.’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from ADR Services, Inc., DoorDash will pay them for you. If ADR Services, Inc. is not available to arbitrate, the parties will mutually select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
(d) Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. All disputes regarding the payment of arbitrator or arbitration-organization fees including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment, shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and DoorDash. Except as expressly agreed to in Section 11(g) of this Agreement, the arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award, on an individual basis, monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and DoorDash.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND DOORDASH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and DoorDash are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in Section 11(a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
(f) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN SECTION 12(G) OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DOORDASH AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12(G). CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(G). If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor DoorDash is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 12. This provision does not prevent you or DoorDash from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
(g) Batch Arbitrations. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands against DoorDash, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization, are submitted to an arbitration provider selected in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period, the arbitration provider shall (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); and (ii) provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator assigned per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with DoorDash and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees.
13. Miscellaneous. Nothing in the Agreement is to be construed as creating an agency, partnership, fiduciary, or joint venture relationship between DoorDash and Client. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for its own costs (including such costs as may be associated with its own personnel, locations, technology infrastructure, and other resources necessary for such party’s performance hereunder). The Agreement represent the entire agreement between DoorDash and Client with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and communications of the parties, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement, including any previously negotiated versions of any term sheet between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. Neither party may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and any attempted assignment without such consent will be voidable at the election of the non-consenting party; provided that DoorDash may assign this Agreement to an affiliate without prior written consent of Client. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the permitted successors and assigns of each party. This Agreement does not and will not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should, or by their express terms do, survive or extend beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall so survive and extend. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein
14. Offboarding. In the event that either party decides to terminate this Agreement or not renew this Agreement, the End Users of the DoorDash for Work platform will be immediately removed from the Services agreed upon and will continue to be housed within the DoorDash for Work Platform. This action does not bind or oblige the Client to an agreement or payment term. This action allows Client to continue evaluating employee behavior on DoorDash in the event that they would one day choose to return to the DoorDash for Work Platform with an employee benefit.
