             1.1       Projects Generally. The Platform has been created to offer services (the "Services") to Clients requesting services and/or projects to be performed (the “Projects”). Shamrck is a third-party independent contractor to Clients and may engage certain individuals that have obtained the conditions required by the Platform, or as determined by us to meet the Project’s requirements, to perform Services, on behalf of us, for Clients (each, a "Student"). If a Client and Shamrck agree on terms for certain Services as related to a Project, including, but not limited to, the scope of the Project and Services to be rendered and such associated Fees, a contract, whether pursuant to an applicable order form or based upon communication between the Parties, is formed between the Client and Shamrck for the performance of such Project-specific Services (each such contract, a "Project Contract"). Shamrck will be solely responsible for sourcing Students to participate in completing a given Project Contract. The Client shall have no interaction or communication with Students participating in a given Project. In accordance with Section 7, Shamrck collects Fees (as defined below) from the Client associated with a given Project Contract, in advance upon the Parties’ acceptance of a Project Contract, either in a one-time lump-sum amount or in certain period intervals. Shamrck then, generally, pays the Students as appropriate in connection with Student’s provision of Services once the Work Product (as defined below) associated with a given Project is accepted by Client.

             1.2       Project Coordinator; Project Completion. Upon the start of a Project, the Client will be notified of the Shamrck personnel who will be project coordinator, i.e., the Shamrck intermediary between the Client and the Students, overseeing the Project through its completion (the “Project Coordinator”). The Project Coordinator will the Client’s sole point of contact as related to the Project and its progress, including any required communications as related to the Project. All Services performed by the Students and Work Product developed by the Students will be reasonably reviewed by the Project Coordinator for satisfactory acceptance and completion. Work Product, once completed, will be sent to, or otherwise provided to, the Client by the Project Coordinator. The Client shall provide written confirmation of its acceptance, or its reasonable rejection, of Work Product within five (5) business days of the Client’s receipt of such Work Product from the Client. If no written confirmation is provided by the Client within the foregoing timeframe, then such Work Product shall be deemed accepted by the Client. If such Work Product is reasonably rejected by the Client, then the Client will have the ability to request from the Project Coordinator up to two (2) revisions of Work Product submitted with respect to a given Project Contract, and the Client agrees to provide assistance and guidance to the Project Coordinator, as requested, to ensure the requisite revisions to the Work Product are implemented by the Project Coordinator. If more than two (2) revisions to Work Product associated with a given Project Contract, are demanded by the Client, then a new Project Contract shall be required with respect to such continued revision of Work Product.

19.       Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Agreement became applicable or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small claims court matters, as provided below. By agreeing to this Agreement, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with us as follows.

             19.1     Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach our support department at hello@shamrck.com, and, except for intellectual property and small claims court matters, the Parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with our support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either Party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

             19.2     Binding Arbitration.

(a)        If the Parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time that informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either Party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including this Agreement and the Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the Parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, as described below.

             (b)        Where the relief sought is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), or less, and you do not wish to bring the claim in small claims court, then the arbitration will be conducted online by an online arbitration provider of our choosing in accordance with their then applicable rules and procedures of commercial arbitration at the time a claim is made. Currently, to start, you may initiate arbitration proceedings on the Fair Claims website. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees, unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

             (c)        Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Augusta, Georgia (US). Where the relief sought is between $10,001 and $250,000, the arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules. Where the relief sought exceeds $250,000, arbitration shall be before a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To start an arbitration with JAMS, you must do the following: (i) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (ii) send three (3) copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 1201 W Peachtree, NW, Suite 2650, Atlanta, Georgia 30309; and (iii) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at 925 Laney Walker Blvd Suite 307, Augusta, GA 30901, ATTN: Legal. You will be required to pay $250.00 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all other fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

             (d)        The arbitrator(s), and not any Federal, State, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of an agreement under this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the this Agreement or the Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator(s) shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction under law or in equity. The arbitral award shall be written and shall be binding on the Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

             (e)        The Parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The Parties further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

             (f)        The Parties further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any Federal or State court sitting in Richmond County, Georgia (US) in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

             19.3     Small Claims. As an alternative, you may bring your Claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if within such court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. You may bring Claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Shamrck will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any Claims covered by these this Agreement to arbitrate.

             19.4     Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE HEREBY GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE SHAMRCK INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS.

             19.5     Arbitration Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending a written notice of your decision to opt-out to at hello@shamrck.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT”. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of or access to the Platform; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
