Additionally, except as authorized below, each party agrees to maintain in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information acquired directly or indirectly from the other party. Each party shall protect and safeguard the Confidential Information using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as the party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature. In the event that the receiving party becomes aware of any use, loss or disclosure not consistent with the Purpose of this Agreement, the receiving party shall immediately notify the disclosing party.
“Confidential information” shall include matters of a technical, financial, commercial, business, or other proprietary nature that is not generally disclosed by the disclosing party to the public and which, if disclosed to others, might be competitively detrimental to the disclosing party. Confidential information is that information either identified as confidential or proprietary by the disclosing party or should be reasonably understood by the receiving party to be confidential or proprietary to the disclosing party.
The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its or its Affiliates’ Users, officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, and/or contractors (“Representatives”) who need to know such information for the sole purpose of evaluating, negotiating, or advising the receiving party with respect to the Purpose and who have been informed of the receiving party’s obligations of confidence and have agreed in writing to preserve the confidentiality of such information by terms substantially similar to those set forth in this Agreement. The receiving party agrees to ensure that each of its Representatives complies with the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement and further agrees to be solely responsible and liable to the disclosing party for any act, omission, or other failure to comply with the terms of the agreement by any of its Representatives.

If the protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if the disclosing party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the receiving party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be furnished. Any Confidential Information so disclosed shall maintain its confidentiality protection for all purposes other than such legally compelled disclosure.
Confidential information does not include any information which (a) is or becomes publicly known other than through a breach of this Agreement by the receiving party; (b) is already known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure as evidenced by the receiving party’s written documentation, provided that it was not previously obtained directly or indirectly by the receiving party from the disclosing party; (c) Is lawfully received by the receiving party from a third party having no obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto; or (d) is proven by receiving party to have been independently developed by the receiving party without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information, as proven by then- contemporaneous written records.

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).

26.3 Notification Procedures and Changes to the Workplace ToS.
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.

(b) WIW’s use of Third-Party Service Providers. WIW’s Payroll Services are powered by Check Technologies, Inc. (“Check”), a Third-Party Service Provider who manages calculations, payments, and tax filings. Check requires that before you and your Users use Payroll Services, each must agree to the following:
- Customer and its Users: Check’s Terms of Service, including Check’s Privacy Policy;

Please read all Check-Related Agreements as they will control to the extent that there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Check-Related Agreements.
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. To facilitate payroll payments on behalf of WIW Customers to their Users, and to facilitate associated payments to taxing authorities, Check may maintain custodial accounts with one or more banks (each, the “Bank”).
(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.
When registering for a Payroll Account, the information you provide must be complete and accurate and you agree to promptly update this information if it changes. You give us and our Third-Party Service Providers permission to obtain, verify, and record this information to satisfy all due diligence obligations under applicable Compliance Requirements.

2. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS FOR CONTINUED ACCESS AND USE OF PAYROLL SERVICES

Once you are initially qualified and enrolled in Payroll Services, WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers will monitor your qualifications throughout your Payroll Services subscription term. From time to time, we may require you to agree to additional or updated terms and complete and sign additional forms due to changes in Compliance Requirements. We reserve the right to terminate Payroll Services to you if any information or inquiry from us remains unanswered for more than thirty (30) days.
(b) Provision of Payroll Information. You are fully responsible for:

WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers rely on you providing complete and accurate data, content, and other materials, including Payroll Information, into the Payroll Service. Your submission of Payroll Information is your authorization for WIW and its Third-Party Service Providers to create and transmit the entries necessary to process your payroll and payroll tax transactions using that information.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

(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;

- 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.

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;

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.

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.
