NOTE REGARDING SHIFT WORKER CLASSIFICATION IN THE SERVICE

*Shift workers, including employees, independent contractors, and volunteers of a Workplace (“Users”) are often referred to within the Service as “Employees”. Within the Service, certain Employees may be designated as Managers or Supervisors by the Workplace. Naming conventions within the Service are for convenience only and are not intended to be a determination of any individual’s worker status or worker classification for any purpose, including for purposes of federal employment taxes, unemployment taxes, etc. Likewise, When I Work does not assist in the determination of whether a shift worker is exempt or nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Workplaces assume all liability for the proper classification of their shift workers based on applicable legal guidelines and for complying with all other employment laws, such as wage and hour laws.

25. GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER

 25.1 Governing Law.

You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Minnesota; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Minnesota. These Workplace ToS shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Minnesota, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Workplace ToS evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (as it may be amended, “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement below and preempts all state laws (and law of other jurisdictions) to the fullest extent permitted applicable law. If the FAA is found not to apply any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the laws of the U.S. state where you live, or the jurisdiction mutually agreed in writing by you and us. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data, data security, Confidential Information, or Intellectual Property Rights, as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA, is the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable. These Workplace ToS were drafted in the English language and this English language version of these Workplace ToS is the original, governing instrument of the understanding between you and us. In the event of any conflict between the English version of these Workplace ToS and any translation, the English version will prevail.

25.2 Arbitration

(a) General. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM WHEN I WORK. This Section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and us that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (1) these Workplace ToS, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, and enforceability thereof; (2) access to or use of the Service, including receipt of any advertising or marketing communications; (3) any transactions through, by, or using the Service; or (4) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, directly or indirectly, as a Workplace or consumer (each, a “Claim,” and, collectively, “Claims”). This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your consent to these Workplace ToS.

(b) Opting Out of Arbitration Agreement. If you are a new Workplace, you can reject and opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of accepting these Workplace ToS by emailing us at support@wheniwork.com with your full, legal name and stating your intent to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement does not affect the binding nature of any other part of these Workplace ToS including the provisions regarding controlling law or the courts in which any disputes must be brought.

(c) Dispute Resolution Process. For any Claim, you agree to first contact us at support@wheniwork.com and attempt to resolve the Claim with us informally. In the unlikely event that When I Work has not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve such Claim by binding arbitration by JAMS before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS (the “Rules”), except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com, where the Rules are available. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. County where your principal offices are or Hennepin County, Minnesota, unless you and When I Work agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (1) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (2) the award rendered by the Arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorneys’ fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (3) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Workplace ToS are, or whether any provision of these Workplace ToS is, unconscionable or illusory, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, and/or estoppel.

(d) Equitable Relief. NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED AS: PREVENTING US FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM THE COURTS AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA, DATA SECURITY, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OR PREVENTING YOU FROM ASSERTING CLAIMS IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT, PROVIDED THAT YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ON ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-COLLECTIVE, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.

(e) Severability. If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will have no impact on the remaining provisions of this Arbitration Agreement, which will remain in force, or on the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Section 20.3 (Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver) is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

25.3 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

BY ENTERING INTO THESE WORKPLACE ToS, YOU AND WHEN I WORK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER. THE FOREGOING APPLIES TO BOTH NATUAL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER PURPOSES. THIS CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS. YOU AND WHEN I WORK AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT INDIVIDUAL USERS.

26. GENERAL

26.1 U.S. Government Restricted Rights.

To the extent the Service is being used by or on behalf of the U.S. Government, the Service will be deemed commercial computer software or commercial computer software documentation (as applicable).

When I Work may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by When I Work in our sole discretion. When I Work reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to a Workplace, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in these Workplace ToS.

These Workplace ToS applies to and governs your access to and use of the Service effective as of the start of your access to the Service, even if such access began before publication of these Workplace ToS. Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. If you do not agree to current Workplace ToS or any updates to them, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service.

26.4 Entire Agreement/Severability.

These Workplace ToS, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with When I Work in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and When I Work concerning the Service. If any provision of these Workplace ToS is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Workplace ToS, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable. The terms and conditions of any Purchase Order issued with respect to this purchase are superseded by this Agreement, including the Privacy Policy.

26.5   Force Majeure.

Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform its obligations hereunder (other than for the payment of amounts due) if such delay or failure arises from any cause or causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including acts of God, floods, fires, pandemic, or loss of electricity or other utilities.

26.6 No Waiver.

No waiver of any right or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such right or provision or any other right or provision, and When I Work’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

26.7 Contact.

    Check uses the information you provide through the WIW Service to calculate and pay Customer’s payroll, pay Customer’s payroll taxes to applicable taxing agencies, produce payroll tax returns and W-2 statements, and, if applicable, remit wage garnishments, such as child support payments, to the applicable collecting entity, agency, or person.

(c) Information Needed to Create a Payroll Account; Qualification Process. Providing and receiving Payroll Services requires compliance with various laws, regulations, and rules, including the NACHA Operating Rules for ACH (collectively, all such laws, regulations, and rules, the “Compliance Requirements”); therefore, you agree to provide to WIW and its Third-Service Providers all information requested to satisfy the Compliance Requirements.

If any errors result, whether directly or indirectly, from WIW’s or its Third-Party Service Providers’ reliance on: (i) Payroll Services Data, whether provided by you or your Users; (ii) changes to Payroll Services Data; or (iii) requests to WIW to change Payroll Services Data, WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers may elect to attempt to correct these errors, but neither WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers make any warranties or guarantees as to the timing of such corrections or that such errors will be able to partially or fully corrected.

If interest or penalties result from such errors, you are responsible for the interest or penalties, and you acknowledge that neither WIW nor its Third-Party Service Providers are responsible for these liabilities.

WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers reserve the right to require written authorization for any corrections or amendments, to charge additional fees for any error corrections or form amendments, or to refuse to affect such corrections or amendments.

Likewise, if Payroll Services Data is not submitted by your applicable submission date or  applicable cut-off time, WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers may elect to attempt to expedite the processing of your payroll but neither WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers make any warranties or guarantees in this regard and may process that Payroll Services Data and transmit the credit or debit entries to the ACH as part of the next regularly-scheduled file we create. WIW reserves the right to charge additional fees for the service of expediting your payroll.

(e) Effect of Errors Due to Insufficient Bank Account Funds. Neither WIW nor Check is obligated to perform the Payroll Services including, without limitation, facilitating the Bank’s payment of wages or taxes or the preparation or filing of tax returns if you have not timely remitted to Bank the funds for wages and tax payments or you have insufficient funds in your Company Bank Account.

We will not be liable for any consequences or claims directly or indirectly arising from your failure to make sufficient funds available to pay all disbursements, fees, payroll taxes, or any other amounts to be paid by you due under these Payroll ToS.

(f) Effect of Errors Attributable Solely to WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers; Disclaimers. If any tax filing errors result that are attributable solely to WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers – e.g. due to operational issues with the Payroll Services; WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers misses tax compliance changes;  or, we fail to deposit or remit your withholding taxes when due and the failure is not caused by you– then provided you use reasonable efforts to mitigate any penalties or losses resulting from such errors and you promptly notify us of any notices from the Internal Revenue Service or other government agencies regarding penalties or errors, we agree as follows:

  • We will pay (or reimburse you for) any penalties and interest assessed by the taxing authority(ies); and/or
  • We will pay (or reimburse you for) any corrections or amendments needed due to missed tax compliance changes.

    The foregoing is your sole remedy and WIW’s (and its Third-Party Service Providers’) sole liability to you.

    EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS SUBSECTION (f), THE PAYROLL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WIW DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, CONTRACTUAL OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT. WIW DOES NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF THE PAYROLLL SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THE OPERATION AND OUTPUT OF THE PAYROLL SERVICES WILL BE ERROR FREE OR COMPLETE.

(g) Cooperation in Investigations. You agree to cooperate with us in investigating any fraudulent or illegal transactions.

(h) Specifying a Payroll Account Administrator. As a Workplace, you will be required to designate certain individuals who are authorized to provide information, take certain actions, and enter into agreements on your behalf (each a “Payroll Account Administrator” or “Authorized Representative”), including but not limited to the ability to review, submit, amend, or cancel payrolls (each, a “Payroll Entry”). We will use reasonable efforts to verify, but do not guarantee, that anyone who submits a Payroll Entry is a Payroll Account Administrator authorized to take such action.

You will require each Payroll Account Administrator and Authorized Representative to maintain a unique log-in.

(i) Responsibility for Actions taken under your Payroll Account. You are solely responsible for actions taken under your Payroll Account. Any actions taken under your Payroll Account will be deemed authorized by you, regardless of your knowledge of such actions (the “Authorized Actions”). Authorized Actions include but are not limited to: (i) actions taken by a Payroll Account Administrator or other Authorized Representative; and (ii) actions that a Payroll Account Administrator or an Authorized Representative (or anyone that we reasonably believe to be a Payroll Account Administrator or an Authorized Representative) directs or instructs us to take on its behalf.

To the extent allowed by applicable law, you agree that if one of your Payroll Account Administrators or Authorized Representatives provides us with accurate login or identity verification credentials and authorizes us to take actions on your behalf (e.g. clicking the “Submit Payroll” or other buttons; or you verbally instruct a WIW representative to take an action), such actions will have the same effect as if you provided us with written signature authorizing us to make any electronic payments, filings, or take any other actions as it relates to the Payroll Service on your behalf.

(j) Responsibility for Compliance with Laws. In providing Payroll Services, neither WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers are acting in a fiduciary capacity for you, and you acknowledge the following:

  • The Payroll Services may not include all functions necessary to operate your business or to meet all federal, state, and local payroll reporting obligations applicable to you;
  • Although WIW and/or its Third-Party Service Providers may be authorized by you to act as your reporting agent with applicable tax authorities, this authorization does not relieve you of your responsibility to (or from liability for failing to) ensure that all tax returns, tax deposits, and payments are filed and made on a timely basis in accordance with applicable laws;
  • You, as the Workplace, are solely responsible and assume all liability for complying with applicable federal, state, and local wage and hour laws, including those laws related to employee classification (e.g. employee vs independent contractor), minimum wage laws, wage deduction laws, meal period and rest break premiums, regular rate of pay calculations, overtime calculations and payments, paid sick leave accrual, itemization and issuance of pay statements, and laws pertaining to the timing of pay (including final pay); and
  • WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers act only as intermediaries between you and your Users specifically and solely with respect to the delivery of payroll funds owed.

(k) Fees.

  • Base Payroll Services Fees. Payroll Services are licensed on a subscription basis with fees charged based on (A) the total number of Customer’s Users per month enrolled in Payroll Services for any portion of a month (“Base Fee”); plus (B) each User for which Customer uses the Payroll Services for any portion of a month (“Per User Fee”). The Payroll Services subscription may be purchased by you online or by executing a WIW-issued quote or other type of WIW-approved order form. Unless WIW has agreed to provide you with a no-charge subscription to Payroll Services, Customer will pay to WIW the applicable Payroll Services fees per the terms of the Workplace ToS or per the payment terms as set forth in the Customer’s executed WIW-issued quote or other type of WIW-approved order form.

    Unlike WIW’s scheduling and time and attendance subscriptions, which are payable monthly or annually in advance at the start of each month-to-month or annual Subscription Term, as applicable, Payroll Services Base Fee and Per User Fee are paid monthly in arrears.

    Payroll Services fees are not prorated for partial month’s use and Customer will be charged a full month of fees for any portion of a month Customer uses the Payroll Services.


  • Pass-Through Fees. Customer hereby agrees and acknowledges that WIW may charge certain fees and expenses (“Pass-Through Fees”) from time to time for certain “Payroll Service Events”, such as untimely tax filing where the delay is due to no fault of WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers. A schedule of Payroll Service Events and the Pass-Through Fees for each is posted in our Help Center’s Payroll Billing Reference Guide. Pass-Through Fees will be invoiced in arrears at least quarterly, and the amount of the Pass-Through Fees invoiced will be based on the type and number of Payroll Service Events that transpired.

    WIW and its Third-Party Service Provides may modify or amend the Pass-Through Fees and/or add additional events triggering Pass-Through Fees from time-to-time with an effective date of no-less than 15 days after such updates are communicated to Customer via email, posted on the website, or the Service itself.

    With respect to the fees designated as Pass-Through Fees, Partner’s use of the Services after the effective date of the updated schedule shall be deemed acknowledgment by Customer and acceptance of the changes to the Pass-Through Fees in the Pricing Schedule and the effective date of such changes.

(l) Additional Obligations.

  • You are and shall be responsible for addressing any complaints from Users, tax authorities, and other payees and you are and shall be liable for paying any expenses, losses, fines, penalties, or damages to its Users, tax authorities, or other payees that arise out of or relate to any errors or omissions in the Payroll Services Data provided by you or your Users or that arise out of or relate to your insufficient funds.
  • You must Inform Users of any relevant policies and practices of yours and any settings you select that may impact the processing of Payroll Services Data.
  • Additional obligations of yours and your Users related to the provision of Payroll Services are detailed in the Check-Related Agreements addressed in Section 1(b) of these Payroll ToS. Please read all terms in the Check-Related Agreements.

SCHEDULE A-1

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE SCHEDULE 
(“Workers’ Comp Insurance Schedule”)

1. INTRODUCTION

Customers who register for and maintain a Payroll Account per the Workplace ToS and the Payroll ToS, have the opportunity to seek and, if eligible, purchase Workers’ Comp from Next Insurance (“NEXT”).  NEXT is a third-party online business insurance platform that helps small businesses find coverage for Workers’ Comp.  Through an integration with NEXT, Check provides access to this business insurance platform and its related business insurance services. This integration may be accessed within the Payroll Services offered by WIW. 

This Workers’ Comp Insurance Schedule may be accepted in one or more of the following ways, effective of the date of such action, and each such action signifies that you have read, understood, and agree for your Workplace to be bound by the applicable terms: 

  • By providing the information required to initiate a quote from NEXT for Workers’ Comp (“Workers’ Comp Quote”); or
  • By accessing, using, or accepting business insurance services through this integration to NEXT’s business insurance platform; or 
  • By clicking “I Accept”, “Continue”, “Finish”, or “Purchase” or similar language affirming your intent to be bound by these terms.

Prior to accessing the business insurance services through this integration to NEXT’s business insurance platform, you acknowledge that neither WIW or Check are responsible for any actions or decisions made by any third-party, including NEXT, that are related in any way to the business insurance services.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Workers’ Comp Insurance Schedule have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Workplace ToS and the Payroll ToS, as applicable.

Workers’ Comp is currently available only to certain eligible Workplaces in the United States and only to Users who are Workplace employees and receive a W-2, federal wage and tax statement from you.

2. REQUESTING A WORKERS’ COMP QUOTE

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Workers’ Comp Insurance Schedule, WIW agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (a) provide Customers with the ability to request a Workers’ Comp Quote from NEXT via the Payroll Services; and (b) provide eligible Customers with the ability to review, reject, or accept a Workers’ Comp Quote.   

NEXT has its own agreements, including the NEXT Terms of Service and NEXT Privacy Policy (collectively, the “NEXT-Related Agreements”).  Customers wishing to use NEXT’s business insurance services must enter into these separate NEXT-Related Agreements with NEXT as a prerequisite to accessing NEXT’s business insurance platform; WIW and Check bear no responsibility for the terms of the NEXT-Related Agreements, or any decisions related to those agreements by NEXT.

When a provision in this Workers’ Comp Schedule conflicts with any provision of the NEXT-Related Agreements, the provisions of the NEXT-Related Agreements shall control for the purposes of the business insurance services provided by NEXT on the business insurance platform. 

3. PROCURING A WORKERS’ COMP PLAN

The decision to accept a Workers’ Comp Quote and seek to procure a Workers’ Comp plan based on that quote is solely your determination.   

NEXT, and not WIW or Check, acts as the agent that represents insurance companies for any Workers’ Comp Quote provided to you or for any plan of Workers’ Comp accepted by you via its business insurance platform.   Accordingly, you acknowledge the following:

  • WIW and Check are each a separate entity from NEXT and neither has any agency relationship with NEXT’s business insurance platform.  WIW and Check have no ability to control or influence any action or decision of NEXT, or any of its third-party providers, with respect to the business insurance services; 
  • With respect to Workers’ Comp Quotes or plans for Workers’ Comp, neither WIW or Check (a) determines eligibility requirements, (b)recommends specific insurance policies, companies, or coverage; (c) negotiates insurance plan rates; (d) manages billing; (e) processes claims; or (f) communicates with insurance carriers on behalf of a customer.
  • Neither WIW or Check is offering legal or regulatory advice for any aspect of the business insurance services and neither makes any representation as to the legal or regulatory compliance of the business insurance services;
  • WIW’s offering of, and Workplaces’ use of, the business insurance platform and business insurance services does not guarantee (a) any Workplace (or User) the ability to qualify for business insurance, or (b) any terms or conditions related to any business insurance plan; and 
  • Neither WIW or Check bears any responsibility for lost or degraded access to the business insurance services due to actions or circumstances beyond WIW’s or Check’s control.

For Customers that choose to use the business insurance services, you are consenting to Check providing, through its API, relevant Payroll Services Data already in its possession as required by the business insurance platform.   You represent that you have provided notices to and obtained consents from your applicable Users allowing Check to provide such information to NEXT related to those Users for use in underwriting decisions.

ACCESS TO THE BUSINESS INSURANCE PLATFORM AND BUSINESS INSURANCE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WIW DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, CONTRACTUAL OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT. WIW DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE BUSINESS INSURANCE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

WIW IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, COSTS, LIABILITIES, OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER’S USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE BUSINESS INSURANCE PLATFORM OR ANY BUSINESS INSURANCE SERVICES, INCLUDING WORKERS’ COMP QUOTE(S) OR WORKERS’ COMP PLAN(S). 

7. TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

Check and/or WIW may terminate your access to the business insurance platform for any reason, including by way of example, because a federal or state government agency or office notifies Check (and/or WIW) that any aspect of the business insurance services may or does violate any applicable law or regulation.  In such an event, you will be given advanced notice as the circumstances allow, as determined solely by Check or WIW. 

If Check terminates its relationship with NEXT, it may substitute access to an alternative business insurance platform and business insurance services. WIW will endeavor to provide advanced notice of such an event. 

If access to the business insurance platform is terminated by WIW or Check, your sole remedy and WIW’s sole liability and responsibility to you is for WIW to provide reasonable assistance in offboarding your Workplace (and Users) from the NEXT business insurance platform.

The NEXT-Related Agreements address termination/cancellation rights and obligations between you and NEXT related to the business insurance services.

The provisions of this Workers’ Comp Insurance Schedule that should, by their nature survive termination and/or expiration, shall and do survive such termination and/or expiration.

Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found in the Service are directed to Workplaces and Users located in the United States, including spelling conventions.

1.3 Payroll Services and On-Demand Pay

(a) Payroll. If your Workplace licenses payroll processing and management services (“Payroll Services”), which are powered by our Third-Party Service Provider, Check Technologies, through WIW as an additional service in connection with the Service, then the following applies:

In addition to these User ToS, your creation of a Payroll User Account and the access and use of the Payroll Services are subject to the Payroll User Terms of Service (“Payroll User ToS”), attached as Schedule B and incorporated herein by reference.

Payroll Services are currently available only to Workplaces in the United States and to Users who are either (a)  Workplace employees   who receive a W-2, federal wage and tax statement from you or (b) independent contractors at your Workplace who receive a 1099-NEC or a 1099-MISC for reporting nonemployee compensation.

(b) On-Demand Pay. On-Demand Pay (“ODP”) is a feature available to certain U.S.-based Workplaces and to certain Users through our Third-Party Service Provider, Clair. If your U.S.-based Workplace chooses to offer its Users the option to use ODP, eligible Users may access a portion of the wages they have earned in advance of payday. This feature is available at no cost to U.S.-based Workplaces that license the Time & Attendance feature of the Service and that opt-in to ODP

Terms specific to WIW’s On-Demand Pay provider, Clair:

  • If your Workplace chooses to offer its Users the option to use Clair for ODP and then chooses to opt-out or disable this feature, it is your Workplace’s responsibility to notify its Users of this change.
  • To provide ODP, WIW must share certain data with Clair and Clair’s third-party service providers (such as its banking services provider). Therefore, if you use the OPD feature, you authorize When I Work to use and to share with Clair and Clair’s third-party service providers information about you as a User associated with your Workplace, such as number of hours worked, hourly rate, and information regarding paid and unpaid breaks.
  • Users who choose to access and use ODP must each separately agree to be bound to separate terms, including Clair’s Privacy Policy, all of which may be found at Clair Legal Information.

2. Joining your Workplace

2.1 Registering as a User; Use of your WIW User Account
  • Your registration as a User gives you access to the software applications and functionality within the Service that your Workplace licenses and that we establish and maintain in accordance with this Agreement, including, if applicable, the services and products of Third-Party Service Providers.
  • When you register as a User, the personal profile you create within your User Account (referred to as a “User Profile”) allows you to set a profile image, set your personal information, and configure your preferences. (See Section 3 below for further information).
  • By connecting When I Work with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.
  • You may never use another User’s account without permission.
  • When registering as a User, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date.
  • If the settings are enabled by your Workplace, the Time & Attendance features of the Service require that your geolocation information be provided to the Service, such as for clock ins and clock outs via a personal computer (by checking your web browser’s geolocation or the IP address of the internet connection) or via the mobile app installed on your device (using the GPS signal on your device). Your Workplace determines how close Users must be to their scheduled location to clock in or clock out.

    If your Workplace uses the location-based restrictions in the Time & Attendance feature, you acknowledge and agree that your geolocation information may be obtained by the Service and your geolocation may be provided to your Workplace when you clock in and clock out. You also acknowledge and agree that your geolocation information may be used for safety and security purposes.
  • You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your User Account, and you must keep your account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case.
  • You must notify When I Work immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your User Account. When I Work will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your User Account.

You may control your User Account and how you interact with the Service by changing the settings on your Profile Settings page. By providing When I Work with your email address and/or mobile number, you consent to our using the email address and/or mobile number to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address and/or mobile number to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service and special offers.

Note: You can change your communications preferences in your account or in the app.

3. User Content

3.1 Ownership and Uses.

Some areas of the Service allow Users to post or provide content such as profile information, images, audio, comments, questions, and other content or information (any such materials a User submits, posts, displays, or otherwise makes available on the Service is referred to as “User Content”). WIW claims no ownership rights over User Content created by you. The User Content you create, including your User Profile, remains yours; however, by providing or sharing User Content through the Service, you agree as follows:

  • To allow others in your Workplace to view, edit, and/or share your User Content in accordance with your profile settings and these User ToS. Your User Content may be viewed or shared with others in accordance with the WIW Privacy Policy;
  • To allow WIW to use, reproduce, modify, store, publish, translate, distribute, display, archive, and make derivative works of all such User Content for use in solely connection with providing and improving the Service and the interoperability with any Third Party Services as set forth in this Agreement;
  • You are to provide only such information, including User profile information, images, audio, comments, questions, and other content to When I Work that is needed to use the Service as intended and is in accordance with this Agreement;
  • In providing the Service, WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers act as an intermediary between you and your Workplace; as such, you authorize WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers to share with your Workplace any User Content that you provide to WIW or its Third-Party Service Providers in connection with the Service; and
  • Your User Content plus any other information, records, and files that you provide, submit, post, display, or otherwise make available to or through the Service becomes “Customer Data” and you acknowledge and agree that the Customer Data is owned and controlled by our Customer (your Workplace). Your Workplace has many choices over that Customer Data. For example, your Workplace may enable or disable the integrations with Third-Party Services, manage access privileges and User roles, and request that WIW share information regarding its Users with a third party, and these choices and instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification, or deletion of certain or all Customer Data.

AS BETWEEN WIW AND YOUR WORKPLACE, YOU AGREE THAT IT IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR WORKPLACE  TO (A) INFORM YOU AND OTHER USERS OF ANY RELEVANT WORKPLACE POLICIES AND PRACTICES AND ANY SETTINGS IN THE SERVICE THAT MAY IMPACT THE PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA; (B) PROVIDE ANY NOTICES AND OBTAIN ANY RIGHTS, PERMISSIONS OR CONSENTS FROM YOU AND OTHER USERS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE LAWFUL USE OF CUSTOMER DATA, INCLUDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION (a/k/a PERSONAL DATA), AND THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE; (C) ENSURE THAT THE TRANSFER AND PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA UNDER THE AGREEMENT IS LAWFUL; AND (D) RESPOND TO AND RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER USERS RELATING TO OR BASED ON CUSTOMER DATA. WIW IS NOT LIABLE FOR YOU WORKPLACE’S FAILURE TO FULFILL THESE OBLIGATIONS.

  • You have obtained and are solely responsible for obtaining all consents as may be required by law to post any User Content relating to third parties;

  • Except as required pursuant to any applicable terms of service for Payroll Services and/or ODP, you will not use the Service to collect, store, or process bank account information, credit or debit card information, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or health or medical information, nor will you direct other Users to provide such information via the Service;
  • Your User Content does not and will not include any “protected health information” subject to the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996, P.L. 104-191, together with any implementing regulations, as amended from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). When I Work shall not be liable for breaches of HIPAA or failures to comply with this restriction by you, your Workplace, or other users associated with your Workplace’s account;
  • Your User Content does not and will not contain any information or content that we deem to be unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, profane, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or illegal (including, without limitation, the disclosure of insider information under securities law or of another party’s trade secrets or other proprietary information);
  • Your User Content does not and will not contain any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships, that you know is not correct and current, or that violates a Workplace policy;

When I Work reserves the right, but is not obligated, to reject and/or remove any User Content that When I Work believes, in its sole discretion, violates any of these provisions or is otherwise objectionable. Whether notice is provided to you or your Workplace in advance depends on the severity of the circumstances as determined solely by WIW. It is your responsibility to maintain appropriate alternate backup of all Your User Content.

When I Work takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third-party posts, sends, or otherwise makes available over the Service. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, publishing, sharing, or otherwise making such User Content available on the Service, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that When I Work shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of or relating to any User Content.

You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization.

For the purposes of these User ToS, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory, or other jurisdiction.

15. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

15.1 Governing Law.

You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Minnesota; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Minnesota. These User ToS shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Minnesota, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these User ToS evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (as it may be amended, “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement below and preempts all state laws (and law of other jurisdictions) to the fullest extent permitted applicable law. If the FAA is found not to apply, any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the laws of the U.S. state where you live, or the jurisdiction mutually agreed in writing by you and us. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or other violation of our data security, confidential information, or Intellectual Property Rights, as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Hennepin County, Minnesota is the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable. These User ToS were drafted in the English language and this English language version of these User ToS is the original, governing instrument of the understanding between you and us. In the event of any conflict between the English version of these User ToS and any translation, the English version will prevail.

15.2 Arbitration

(a) General. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM WHEN I WORK. This Section 17(B) (the “Arbitration Agreement”) applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and us that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (1) these User ToS, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, and enforceability thereof; (2) access to or use of the Service, including receipt of any advertising or marketing communications; (3) any transactions through, by, or using the Service; or (4) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, directly or indirectly, as a User or consumer (each, a “Claim,” and, collectively, “Claims”). This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your consent to these User ToS.

(b) Opting Out of Arbitration Agreement. If you are a new User, you can reject and opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of accepting these User ToS by emailing us at support@wheniwork.com with your full, legal name and stating your intent to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement does not affect the binding nature of any other part of these User ToS, including the provisions regarding controlling law or the courts in which any disputes must be brought.

(c) Dispute Resolution Process. For any Claim, you agree to first contact us at support@wheniwork.com and attempt to resolve the Claim with us informally. In the unlikely event that When I Work has not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve such Claim by binding arbitration by JAMS before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS (the “Rules”), except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com, where the Rules are available. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. County where you live or Hennepin County, Minnesota, unless you and When I Work agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (1) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (2) the award rendered by the Arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorneys’ fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (3) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these User ToS are, or whether any provision of these User ToS is, unconscionable or illusory, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, and/or estoppel.

(d) Equitable Relief. NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED AS: PREVENTING US FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM THE COURTS AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA SECURITY, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OR PREVENTING YOU FROM ASSERTING CLAIMS IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT, PROVIDED THAT YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ON ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-COLLECTIVE, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.

(e) Severability. If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will have no impact on the remaining provisions of this Arbitration Agreement, which will remain in force, or on the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Section 16.3 (Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver) is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

15.3 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

BY ENTERING INTO THESE USER ToS, YOU AND WHEN I WORK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER. THE FOREGOING APPLIES TO ALL USERS (BOTH NATUAL PERSONS AND ENTITIES), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER PURPOSES. THIS CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS. YOU AND WHEN I WORK AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.

These Payroll User ToS supplement the Terms of Service previously agreed to by you at https://wheniwork.com/terms  (“WIW Terms of Service”). If these Payroll User ToS conflict with the terms and conditions of the WIW Terms of Service, the terms and conditions of these Payroll User ToS shall control with respect to the provision of the Payroll Services.
