TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SUCH INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND RELATED GRAPHICS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. RUNERRA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH REGARD TO THE PLATFORM AND RELATED INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND RELATED GRAPHICS, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON- INFRINGEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM WILL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RUNERRA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PLATFORM, WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND RELATED GRAPHICS OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE PLATFORM, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF RUNERRA OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES.

Governing Law
These Terms shall be treated as though they were executed and performed in Minnesota, and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and the laws of the United States without regard to conflict of law principles.
Dispute Resolution
To the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise expressly stated herein, you and we (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) agree to resolve any and all disputes between or among us involving this Agreement or any other subject matter and arising under any federal, state or local law exclusively through final and binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), rather than in court or before any administrative or regulatory body. This arbitration provision (the “Arbitration Provision”) shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
If either Party wishes to initiate arbitration, that Party must notify the other Party in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. The demand for arbitration must include (i) the name and address of the person or entity seeking arbitration, (ii) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (iii) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration directed at Runerra must be delivered to its headquarters address listed on its public website. Any demand for arbitration by Runerra must be delivered to your last known business address.
THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE THEY HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN THEM BROUGHT, HEARD OR ADJUDICATED IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE AAA ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO HEAR OR ARBITRATE ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER CLAUSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AAA RULES, ANY CLAIM THAT ALL OR PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE, UNCONSCIONABLE, VOID OR VOIDABLE MAY BE DETERMINED ONLY BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR. IN ANY CASE, IN WHICH (I) THE DISPUTE IS FILED AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AND (II) THERE IS A FINAL JUDICIAL DETERMINATION THAT ALL OR PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION W AIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE, THE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION MUST BE LITIGATED IN A CIVIL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, AND THE PORTION OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IS ENFORCEABLE WILL BE ENFORCED IN ARBITRATION.
Neither this Arbitration Provision nor the Class Action Waiver above shall apply to a representative action brought on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq.; any representative action brought under PAGA on behalf of others must be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Any arbitration commenced under this section shall be conducted pursuant to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), which may be found at www.adr.org or obtained by request from Runerra, except that: the arbitration will be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be an attorney or retired judge with experience in the law underlying the dispute. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be as set forth in the AAA Rules, except that, if your claim, or claims, set forth in a Demand for Arbitration does not exceed $75,000 in alleged damages, Runerra will pay all such fees unless the Arbitrator finds that (i) the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or (ii) the arbitration proceeding was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
The Arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the Parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each Party to prepare that Party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes.
Except as provided in the class action waiver above, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party to the arbitration is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but will 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 will apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as applicable. The arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures governing such motions. The arbitrator’s decision or award will be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Notwithstanding any other language in this Arbitration Provision, the Parties may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief if necessary to preserve the status quo and prevent the possibility of irreversible or irreparable harm that cannot be adequately remedied by money damages pending final resolution of arbitration proceedings.
Except with respect to the enforceability, revocability or validity of the class action waiver set forth above, only an arbitrator with the AAA, 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 Arbitration Provision. However, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, disputes relating to the interpretation or application of the Class Action Waiver below, including its enforceability, revocability or validity, may be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not an arbitrator. Regardless of any other terms of this Agreement, nothing prevents a Party from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with any government agency or cooperating in any investigation conducted by any such agency.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending an email notice to support@runerra.com stating such intention to opt out. You may also opt out by sending a written notice to Runerra at 12701 Whitewater Drive, Suite # 120, Minnetonka, MN, 55343, or such other address as may be communicated by Runerra. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your creating an account with Runerra or the effective date of the first set of Terms containing a Dispute Resolution section, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Runerra also will not be bound by them. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THE TERMS OF ANY SEPARATE AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU AND RUNERRA RELATING TO YOUR WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE OR USE OF THE PLATFORM AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RUNNER AGREEMENT) GOVERNING YOUR SERVICES AS A CONTRACTOR. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, IF YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OPTING OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WILL NOT AFFECT ANY AGREEMENT BY YOU TO ARBITRA TE DISPUTES COVERED BY YOUR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RUNNER AGREEMENT) WITH RUNERRA.
