OneTen Platform Terms of Use

Last Revised: August 21, 2023

1. Introduction

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) (i) set out the terms between you and OneTen Coalition, Inc. (“OneTen,” “we”, “us”, or “our”) under which you may access and use our job opportunity platform (the “Platform”); and (ii) incorporate the provisions set forth in our Privacy Policy, which details how we collect and process information from and about you.

These terms are a binding legal agreement. By clicking “join now,” “register now,” or by otherwise accessing or using our platform you specifically acknowledge and agree to these terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent. If you are an individual accessing or using the platform on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any entity, you are agreeing to the terms on behalf of yourself and such organization, and you represent and warrant you have the legal authority to bind such organization to these terms. References to “you” and “your” in these terms will refer to both the individual accessing the platform and to any such organization.

These Terms REQUIRE all disputes between you and us will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (INCLUDING IN A CLASS ACTION) to assert or defend your rights under these Terms (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the Section below titled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with us.

If you do not agree with any element of these terms, you should cease accessing or using the platform immediately.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration and Availability

Eligibility. Our Platform is available for use by: (1) individuals who are 18 years or older, located in the United States, and looking for job-related opportunities and resources pursuant to OneTen’s mission of improving racial and economic justice in the United States by facilitating the placement or advancement of at least one million black talent in the workforce over a ten year period (“Talent”); (2) companies who have job openings in the United States (“Hiring Companies”); and (3) companies and non-profit organizations who provide programs for career development for U.S. individuals that are looking for temporary or full-time job opportunities (“Talent Developers”). If you do not meet these eligibility criteria, you must not use the Platform. If you are located outside of the United States, you are not eligible to use the Platform.

Account registration. You may be required to create an account to use parts of the Platform. If so, during the registration process, you may be required to select a username and password and provide us with additional information about you. It is your responsibility to ensure that your password remains confidential and secure. By registering, you agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your username and password. We will assume that any communications we receive under your account have been made by you.

You are responsible for notifying us if you become aware of any unauthorized use of or access to your account. To contact us, please see our contact information below. You understand and agree that we may require you to provide information that may be used to confirm your identity and help safeguard your account. We will not be liable for any loss, damages, liability, expenses or lawyers’ fees that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge and/or authorization, and regardless of whether you have or have not advised us of such unauthorized use. You will be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses and lawyers’ fees incurred by us or a third party due to someone else using your account.

3. Availability.

You understand that from time to time the Platform may be unavailable. For the avoidance of doubt, you are responsible for all third-party components or services necessary for you to have access to the Platform. You are also responsible for ensuring all persons who access the Platform through your Internet connection or devices are aware of and comply with these Terms. We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Platform, and any service or material we provide on the Platform, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Platform is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to part or whole of the Platform to users, including registered users.

4. Intellectual Property Rights.

As between you and us, the Platform is owned and operated by OneTen and/or its applicable partners, suppliers, and licensors (collectively, “Suppliers”) and contains materials (including all software, design, text, editorial materials, informational text, photographs, illustrations, audio clips, video clips, artwork and other graphic materials, and names, logos, trademarks and services marks) which are derived in whole or in part from materials supplied by OneTen and/or its Suppliers, and are protected by copyright laws, international treaty provisions, trademarks, service marks and other intellectual property laws.

You agree to abide by all applicable copyright and other laws. You acknowledge that the Platform has been developed, compiled, prepared, revised, selected, and arranged by OneTen and others through the application of methods and standards of judgment developed and applied through the expenditure of substantial time, effort, and money and constitute valuable intellectual property of OneTen and/or Suppliers.

You agree to protect the proprietary rights of OneTen and all others having rights in the Platform during and after the term of these Terms and to comply with all reasonable written requests made by OneTen and/or Suppliers of content or otherwise to protect their and others’ contractual, statutory, and common law rights in the Platform. You agree to notify OneTen immediately upon becoming aware of any claim that the Platform infringes upon any copyright, trademark, or other contractual, statutory, or common law rights.

All present and future rights in and to trade secrets, patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, know-how, and other proprietary rights of any type under the laws of any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, including without limitation rights in and to all applications and registrations relating to the Platform shall, as between you and OneTen and/or its Suppliers, at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive property of OneTen and/or its Suppliers. Any unauthorized use of any material contained on or through the Platform may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity and communications regulations and statutes. You acknowledge that OneTen and/or its Suppliers may apply for injunctive remedies in any jurisdiction to enforce its intellectual property rights in relation to the Platform.

5. Your Obligations and Representations

All Users. You agree to comply with all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties, regulations and conventions in connection with your use of the Platform, including without limitation those related to data privacy, international communications, and the exportation of technical or personal data from locations other than the location from which we control and operate the Platform and services associated therewith. Furthermore, you expressly agree not to violate any rights of publicity or privacy of any person, nor defame any person or entity.

You will use all available information legally and responsibly to make hiring or rejection decisions. You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relevant to your industry in employing temporary or full-time workers.

To help facilitate talent exchanges at scale to help as many jobseekers as possible, you agree that your company’s name and logo may be displayed on the Platform or appear in blogs or other publications regarding the Platform for the limited purpose of identifying you as a participating company. Upon termination of the Terms, we will make reasonable efforts to remove your company’s name and logo on the Platform to no longer identify you as a participating company.

By Talent Developers. You represent and warrant that you will use the information gained from the Platform only for the purpose of facilitating job exchanges. By uploading Talent information, you affirm that the Talent whose information you supplied are at least 18 years of age and are for job-seeking purposes. You must not supply candidate information to the Platform in a way that violates this agreement or our Privacy Policy. You may choose to reveal or not reveal certain information about your Talent to the Hiring Companies in order to facilitate career exchange. In doing so, you represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws, and not violate any privacy rights of the Talent or others and to not violate any existing agreements or laws, including not engaging in any retaliation, defamation, or discrimination.

Continued access and use of our Platform shall constitute your consent to such changes as of the “Last Revised” date above.

Certain provisions of these terms may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of the Platform, which may be posted from time to time. Your continued use of the Platform after any such changes and/or postings shall constitute your consent to such changes.

We neither own nor control such third- party websites and are not responsible for their content or actions (“Third-Party Websites”). Please read all applicable terms, conditions, and privacy policies of any Third-Party Website that may be linked to our Platform. Your access and use of any Third-Party Website is at your own risk.

13. Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Application. You and we agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between you and us, except as provided in this Section. Any and all disputes may include, but are not limited to: (i) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement; and (iii) claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to arbitration. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that you will try to resolve your dispute with us before taking any formal action by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us Section below. When you contact us, you must provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims (see the subsection entitled “Exception” below), you and we agree to use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with each other. You and we agree to engage in good faith discussions before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration and understand that good faith discussions are a precondition of initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the subsection entitled Initial Dispute Resolution above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except as provided in the subsection entitled “Exception” below). Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with either: (i) the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules, for claims that do not exceed $250,000; or (ii) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, for claims exceeding $250,000. The JAMS rules and procedures just identified shall be those in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (not the “Last Revised” date of these Terms), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Contact information for JAMS, as well as copies of the JAMS rules and applicable forms, are available at www.jamsadr.com.

Arbitrator’s Powers. The arbitrator (and not any federal, state, or local court or agency) shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms. Such disputes may include, but are not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Filing a Demand. To start an arbitration, you must do all three of the following: (i) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration form at www.jamsadr.com); (ii) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS; and (iii) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at: OneTen Coalition, Inc., 28 Valley Road, Suite 1, Montclair, NJ 07042.

When you initiate arbitration against us, you are required to pay up to $250 of the filing fee to initiate arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds that amount, we will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Delaware, United States, and you and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Delaware in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This means that you and we expressly waive any rights to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this subsection entitled “Class Action Waiver” is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights. “Intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets—but does not include privacy or publicity rights. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. You and we agree that to the extent that either party has a good faith belief that a dispute falls within the jurisdiction of the small claims court in the U.S. county (or parish) of your residence, either party may elect to have such dispute adjudicated in such small claims court. Such election can be made by either party even after the other party initiates an arbitration. In such case, the party that initiated the arbitration agrees to dismiss or suspend the arbitration and seek to resolve the dispute in small claims court. You and we agree that in the situation where an arbitration is already initiated and one party invokes the small claims court option, any dispute regarding whether the dispute is properly within the jurisdiction of a small claims court shall be resolved by the small claims court in the first instance (unless the small claims court is unwilling to do so) and not the arbitrator or JAMS.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to OneTen Coalition, Inc., Post Office Box 3220, Norfolk, VA 23514, operations@oneten.org. Your written notice must have the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (i) August 21, 2023 or (ii) your first date that you used the Platform, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with this section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.” If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section. We will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any material changes to this section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” by posting a notice on the Platform or informing you via email, and complying with any other applicable legal notice or consent requirements. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Platform or sent to you by email. Changes to this section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day.

If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection entitled “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection will be deemed to be severed from the Section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.” If this happens, the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section or similar section in existence after you began using the Platform.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Except as provided above in the “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” Section, all matters relating to the Platform and/or these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms and/or the Platform shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts for purposes of these Terms only.

15. Term and Termination

Term. Both you and OneTen may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice through the Platform or other means to the other, provided that any paid services are subject to the term and termination provisions of the applicable commercial agreement.

Effect of Termination. On termination, you lose the right to access or use the Platform and shall immediately cease any such access or use. All terms of these Terms, which by their nature are intended to survive the Term’s termination or expiration, will so survive, including usage restrictions, disclaimers, Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver, indemnity, limitations of liability, and termination provisions.

16. General Provisions

Assignment and Delegation. We may assign our rights under these Terms for any reason, including a change of control or merger as a result of the transfer of assets. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, except with our prior written consent. All assignments of your rights are prohibited under this section, whether they are voluntary or involuntary, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law, or any other manner. For purposes of this section, a “change of control” is deemed an assignment of rights, and “merger” refers to any merger in which you participate, regardless of whether you are a surviving or disappearing entity. We may delegate our performance under these Terms freely. You may not delegate any performance under these Terms. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of performance in violation of this section is void.

Severability. In the event any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement. These Terms represent the parties’ entire understanding relating to the use of the Platform and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous, conflicting, or additional communications.

Relationship of the Parties. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between OneTen and you as a result of these Terms or use of the Platform.

No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by such party in writing. Any and all rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by OneTen.
