It’s officially time toclean your entire house 2022 Near. If you’re unsure on where to start. Work your way through these tried-and-tested cleaning tips to add sparkle and shine to any and every room. The choice is up to you: Take things room by room or tackle one small appliance at a time until everything is free of grime, mildew, dust, and whatever else is making it look and feel dirty.

When all is said and done, your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and every other corner in your home will look just like new. So, let’s grab those rubber gloves, and start cleaning, and you’ll see what we’re talking about.

Scrub your toilet clean.

Apply a toilet bowl cleaner, and let it sit for up to five minutes before scrubbing with a stiff-bristled toilet brush. Then wipe down the toilet seat and toilet with disinfectant wipes. The goal? A Sparkling white bowl and a germ-free toilet seat.

Re-season rusty cast iron.

Over-scrubbing cast iron with metal scouring pads can remove the seasoning from your trusty skillet. To restore the finish, use a scrub sponge to remove any rust, clean with a bit of mild dish soap, then rinse and dry well. Coat the inside and outside with vegetable oil and bake upside down in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour. Let cool and remove excess grease with a paper towel.

Restore your shower pressure.

Unclog your shower head by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water and pouring it into a plastic bag. Tie the bag around the shower head to immerse the holes in the solution and secure with a twist tie. Let it soak for up to an hour, then remove and wipe away the loosened deposits.

Shine plants with mayo.

Take a tip from professional florists: Clean dusty potted plants with some mild soap and water, then use a paper towel to rub a drop of mayo into the tops of leaves to make them extra vibrant.

Zap oven spills.

If you don’t own a self-cleaning oven, try Easy-Off Professional Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner to effectively remove any gunk. Caught empty-handed? Sprinkle table salt to absorb fresh spills and wipe it up with a damp sponge or cloth once the oven is cool.

1. The MissionCat Platform Connects and Clients

The MissionCat Platform is a web- and app-based two-sided marketplace which enables connections between Clients and Missioners. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Missions”) from Missioners and are therefore clients of Missioners, and “Missioners” are businesses seeking to perform missions for Clients. Clients and Missioners together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.” If you agree on the terms of a Missioner with another User, you and such other User form a Service Agreement directly between the two of you as set forth in more detail in Section 3 below.

MISSIONERS ARE INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS. MISSIONERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF CLIENTS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR FRANCHISEES OF MISSIONCAT. MISSIONCAT DOES NOT PERFORM MISSIONS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM MISSIONS. BY CONNECTING PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES SEEKING SERVICES WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS, MISSION CAT OPERATES AS AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE THAT CONNECTS CLIENTS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS (MISSIONERS) WHO WISH TO PERFORM A VARIETY OF MISSIONS.

USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MISSIONCAT DOES NOT SUPERVISE, SCOPE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A MISSIONERS’ WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE WORK PERFORMED AND THE MISSIONS IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, STATUTE, ORDINANCE, REGULATION, OR CODE.

Any reference on the MissionCat Platform to a Missioner being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or “badged,” “reliable,” “reliability rate,” “elite,” “great value,” “background checked,” “vetted” (or similar language) designations indicates only that the Missioner has completed a relevant account registration process or met certain criteria and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by MissionCat of such Missioner’s skills or qualifications or whether they are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe, or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for Clients to evaluate when they make their own decisions about the identity and suitability of Missioners whom they select, interact, or contract with via the MissionCat Platform.

The MissionCat Platform enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Missions. MissionCat is not responsible for the performance or communications of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Missions, Missioner’s, or Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to each other. MissionCat makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Missions requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the MissionCat Platform, whether in public or private, via on- or off-line interactions, or otherwise howsoever.

2. Missioner Background Checks and User Representations and Warranties

Missioner Background Checks

Missioners may be subject to a review process before they can register for and during their use of the MissionCat Platform, which may include but is not limited to identity verification and criminal background checks, using third party services as appropriate (“Background Checks”). Although MissionCat may perform Background Checks, MissionCat cannot confirm that any User is who they claim to be, and MissionCat cannot and does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information.

3. Contract between Clients and Missioner’s

You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract with another User (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you and that User agree on the terms of a Mission. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the MissionCat Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the Missioner and their Client to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, including this Section 3, and do not expand MissionCat obligations or restrict MissionCat rights under this Agreement. MissionCat is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create an employment or other service relationship between MissionCat and the Missioner, nor will it create an employment relationship between the User and the Missioner. Users do not have authority to enter written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of MissionCat.

Where approved in advance by the Client, the Missioner is not obligated to personally perform the Mission. Missioners may engage assistants, helpers, subcontractors, or other personnel (collectively “Missioner Assistants”). For safety reasons, such Missioner Assistants must be registered through the MissionCat Platform. A Missioner’s failure to comply with this provision shall be a violation of these Terms of Service and could lead to removal from the MissionCat Platform. The Missioner assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Missioner Assistants and is fully responsible for the lawful payment of all compensation, benefits, and expenses of Missioner Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable tax withholding as to such Missioner Assistants. Clients are responsible for confirming with their Missioner that any Missioner Assistants are registered Missioners on the MissionCat Platform.

While using the MissionCat Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Mission is performed. Clients agree that if someone other than them books the Mission on their behalf or is present in their stead when the Mission is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent (“Client’s Agent”) and the Missioner may take and follow direction from the Missioners Agent as if such direction was given from the Client him- or herself. If you are a Client’s Agent and accessing and using the MissionCat Platform on behalf of a client, you represent that you have the authority to act as their agent and to bind that person as the principal to all provisions of the Terms of Service. Client’s Agent may authorize any applicable waiver of the Client’s scoping, direction, or instruction of the Missioner’s work or performance of the Mission in the Client’s stead. Client agrees that such direction and/or waiver is valid against Client and Client’s Agent, and Client shall be responsible and liable for all such direction and/or waiver as if made by Client him or herself. Client assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of Client’s Agents.

The Client shall pay their Missioner’ in full for all Mission services via the MissionCat Platform as indicated on the MissionCat Platform, at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each User agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance, and completion of a Mission.

4. Billing and Payment

Users of the MissionCat Platform contract for Missions directly with other Users. MissionCat will not be a party to any contracts for Missions. Client, and not MissionCat, is responsible for payment in relation to all Mission services through the MissionCat Platform. Such payment must be made via the MissionCat Platform. MissionCat is not obligated to compensate Missioner for Client’s failure to pay for services.

The MissionCat Payment, service charge, and Trust & Support fee must be paid through the MissionCat Platform. Clients on the MCP will be required to provide their payment method details to MissionCat and the MissionCat Platform. Missioners are responsible for accurately invoicing their clients within 24 hours of the work being performed, even if the Mission is not completed in its entirety or is designated as “ongoing”. Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice(s) for each Mission (the “Invoice(s)” ), which will include (a) the pricing terms of the Mission provided by the Missioner and agreed upon by the parties (“Mission Payment” ), (b) any out of pocket expenses agreed upon by the parties and submitted by the Missioner in connection with the Mission, (c) the service charge MissionCat assesses to the Client for access to and information regarding Missioners, and (d) the Trust & Support Fee MissionCat assesses to the Client for customer support, other various services, or (e) cancellation charges, if applicable. In addition, a tip or gratuity, as applicable, may be added by the Client or at the Client’s direction to the Invoice(s), and all such tips or gratuities shall go directly to the Missioner. Clients may also be charged credit card processing fees equal to 3% of the aggregate expense amount if expenses related to a Mission individually, or Missions in the aggregate over a 30-day period, exceed $300 as applicable. Missioners will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees, if applicable, and (ii) repayment of erroneous payments.

Missioners will be required to set up an account with the MCP, which may require any or all the following: registration with the MCP, consent to the terms of service of the MCP, and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation at the request of the MCP. By accepting these Terms of Service, each Missioner agrees that they have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to, the MCP Services Agreement (the “MCP Services Agreement” ). Please note that MissionCat is not a party to the MCP Services Agreement and that you, the MCP and any other parties listed in the MCP Services Agreement are the parties to the MCP Services Agreement and that MissionCat has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Missioner, including the Missioner Assistant or other party under the MCP Services Agreement.

To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, MissionCat and/or the MCP may validate an account before activation and prior to each booking. As part of the validation process, temporary charges may be placed on the account associated with the User and then refunded within 1-5 business days. This temporary charge may vary depending on the estimated value of the Mission and expenses.

When a Client receives confirmation through the MissionCat Platform or via email that a Mission has been completed, Client automatically authorizes the MCP to process the Invoice(s). Clients may be billed a one-hour cancellation charge as damages at the Missioners hourly rate through the MCP if you book a Mission, but cancel it before the scheduled time for performance.

MissionCat reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Client or Missioner, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges, or other misuse of the MCP, to place on hold any Mission Payment, out of pocket expenses, and/or tip or gratuity (if applicable), or refund or provide credits, or arrange for the MCP to do so.

Users of the MCP may be liable for any taxes or similar charges (including VAT, if applicable in the country where the Mission is performed) required to be collected and/or paid on the Mission and/or fees provided under the Agreement.

In certain jurisdictions, applicable rules may require that we collect or report tax and/or revenue information about you. You agree that MissionCat may issue on your behalf receipts or similar documentation to facilitate accurate tax reporting.

5. Contests, Gift Cards, and Promotional Codes

MissionCat may from time to time provide certain promotional opportunities and contests to Users. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of MissionCat, and can be implemented, modified, or removed at any time by MissionCat without advance notification. The liability of MissionCat and Affiliates, as well as any of MissionCat corporate partners pursuant to such promotional opportunities and contests, shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 17 of these Terms of Service.

MissionCat gift cards (“Gift Cards” ), Coupon codes (“Coupons”) and promotional codes ( “Promo Codes” ) may be available and can be used to pay Mission Payments and the MissionCat service charge and Trust & Support fee in part or in full, but may not be used to pay for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses or tips or gratuity associated with a Mission provided through the Mission Cat Platform.

A. Promo Codes

Promo Codes are an offer by MissionCat to reduce the amount a Client has to pay in relation to a Mission Payment, service charge, and/or Trust & Support fee. Promo Codes serve as a discount for the Client’s benefit, but will not affect the amount of the Missioner Payment a Missioner ultimately receives. The use or application of any Promo Code is solely intended as a promotional initiative and does not in any way create a relationship or engagement between MissionCat or the Missioner or Client, or constitute wages, fees or other amounts paid to the Missioner. You agree that you will use Promo Codes in accordance with the terms and conditions governing the Promo Code. A new user Promo Code may only be used once per User, regardless of the email address used during registration. MissionCat reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code by you or any other User in the event that the use or redemption of a Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms and conditions or this Agreement.

B. Gift Cards

Gift cards can only be used in connection with Missions performed on the MissionCat Platform, are not replaceable if lost or stolen, and have no expiration date. Gift cards have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash except as required by law. Gift Cards must be entered directly into the Client account; they may not be directly accepted by Missioners as a payment method.

A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Cards, gift certificates or Promo Codes. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. You cannot “reload” (or add value/balance) to your Gift Card at this time. If a Gift Card holder’s purchase exceeds the amount of that Gift Card’s balance, the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another means. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable. MissionCat reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if MissionCat believes that a billing error has occurred. MissionCat reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity, and to cancel a Gift Card if it believes that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof.

You agree to comply with all Gift Card terms and conditions.

MissionCat is not obligated to investigate any remarks posted by Users for accuracy or reliability or to consider any statements or materials posted or submitted by Users about any Feedback but may do so at its discretion. You agree that Feedback enables Users to post and other Users to read about Users’ expression of their experiences and that you will not complain or take any action merely because you happen to disagree with such Feedback. You may request removal of a review that violates this Agreement.

MissionCat respects the personal and other rights of others and expects Users to do the same. MissionCat is entitled to identify a User to other Users or to third parties who claim that their rights have been infringed by User Generated Content submitted by that User, so that they may attempt to resolve the claim directly.

If a User believes, in good faith, that any User Generated Content provided on or in connection with the MissionCat Platform is objectionable or infringes any of its rights or the rights of others (e.g., counterfeiting, insult, invasion of privacy), the User is encouraged to notify MissionCat. If a User discovers that User Generated Content promotes crimes against humanity, incites hatred and/or violence, or concerns child pornography, the User must notify MissionCat. Such notification can be made at Mission Cat, Inc., NYCOS 733 3^rd avenue mailbox 1012 Manhattan, NY. 10017.

11. Links to Third-Party Websites

The MissionCat Platform may contain links (such as hyperlinks) to third-party websites. Such links do not constitute endorsement by MissionCat or association with those websites, their content, or their operators. Such links (including without limitation external websites that are framed by the MissionCat Platform as well as any advertisements displayed in connection therewith) are provided as an information service, for reference and convenience only. MissionCat does not control any such websites, and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, advertising, products, or services. It is your responsibility to evaluate the content and usefulness of the information obtained from other websites. You acknowledge and agree that MissionCat is not involved in the creation or development of third-party websites and disclaims any responsibility for third-party websites and cannot be liable for claims arising out of or relating to third-party websites. Further, you acknowledge and agree that MissionCat has no obligation to monitor, review, or remove links to third-party websites, but reserves the right to limit or remove links to third-party websites on the MissionCat Platform at its sole discretion.

The use of any website controlled, owned, or operated by a third party is governed by the terms and conditions of use and privacy policy for that website. You access such third-party websites at your own risk.

You hereby agree to hold MissionCat harmless from any liability that may result from the use of links that may appear on the MissionCat Platform.

12. MissionCat Operates as an Online Marketplace

MissionCat operates as an online marketplace that connects Clients with service providers (Missioners) who wish to perform a variety of Missions. MissionCat does not perform Missions and does not employ people to perform Missions. Missioners operate as independent business owners and are customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as that involved in the services performed for Clients through the MissionCat Platform. MissionCat does not control or direct the Missioners’ performance of their services or set their work locations, work hours, or terms of work. Missioners provide services under their own name or business name, and not under MissionCat’s name. Missioners provide their own tools and supplies to perform their services; MissionCat does not provide the tools or supplies. Missioners are free to maintain a clientele without any restrictions from MissionCat and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. Missioners are free to accept or reject Clients and contracts. Missioners are not penalized for rejecting Clients or contracts, though if Missioners accept a Client or contract through the MissionCat Platform, they are expected to fulfill their contractual obligations to their client. Missioners set their own rates for services performed in the MissionCat general marketplace, without deduction by MissionCat.

The MissionCat Platform is not an employment agency service or business, and MissionCat is not an employer of any User. Missioners acknowledge and confirm that they are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into Service Agreements and performing Missions and that, depending on how they exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.

13. MissionCat Trust Pledge

The MissionCat trust pledge applicable to North America, where the Mission is performed is part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference. Missioners determine which categories they are qualified to task in, and scope the Mission directly with their Client. MissionCat does not oversee, monitor or direct how a Missioner performs a Mission, does not monitor Missions or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise assume responsibility for the actions of Users. Clients are advised to confirm with their Missioner that s/he is qualified to perform the Mission prior to the Mission taking place. MissionCat is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does MissionCat provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, MissionCat wants Users to be happy about their experience using the MissionCat Platform and the Trust Pledge is in place to encourage continued use of the MissionCat Platform.

Payments made under the Trust Pledge are made at MissionCat sole discretion, and are subject to certain conditions, limitations and exclusions, as described in the Trust Pledge. The Trust Pledge does not supersede any of the terms set forth in these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, including any of the limitations on liability set forth in these Terms of Service. In the unlikely event of a conflict with the Trust Pledge, these Terms of Service prevail over any contrary interpretation of the Trust Pledge. The Trust Pledge is not insurance and Missioner is not an insurer, as such terms are generally understood for regulatory purposes.

A. Residents of the United States of America

I. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND MISSIONCAT CAN BRING CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND MISSIONCAT TO SUBMIT CLAIMS TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU ACCEPT ALL OF ITS TERMS.

(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration

IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BENEFITS OF THE SPEEDY, ECONOMICAL, AND IMPARTIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND MISSIONCAT MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES OR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

This agreement to arbitrate ( “Arbitration Agreement” ) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ( “FAA” ) and survives the termination of this Agreement and your relationship with MissionCat.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and MissionCat agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims (“collectively,” Claim” or “Claims” ) relating to, arising from or regarding your use of the MissionCat Platform, your relationship with MissionCat, Missions, or this Agreement (including previous versions), including Claims by MissionCat, Claims against MissionCat and Claims against MissionCat’s Affiliates (including its parent company).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this includes, but is not limited to, claims related to payments, any city, county, state or federal wage and hour law, compensation, meal or rest breaks, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, trade secrets, unfair competition, personal injury, property damage or loss, emotional distress, any promotions or offers made by MissionCat; breach of any express or implied contract or breach of any express or implied covenant; claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws; claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights Act, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Mission Cat and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or funded by insurance), and state or local statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters; and all other federal, state or local statutory and common law claims.

If there is a dispute about the arbitrability of any claim (including about the formation, scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement), you and MissionCat agree that this threshold dispute shall be resolved by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND MISSIONCAT ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS, UNLESS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF EVERY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THAT CAN LAWFULLY BE ARBITRATED, EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES THAT, BY THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE.

(b) Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and MissionCat agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between MissionCat (and/or, if applicable, its Affiliates) and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND MISSIONCAT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING ( “Class Action Waiver” ). Further, unless both you and MissionCat otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Class Action Waiver shall not apply to California Private Attorney General Act Claims, which are addressed separately below.

(c) Representative PAGA Waiver

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, to the fullest extent allowed by law: (1) you and MissionCat agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA” ), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under PAGA, both you and MissionCat agree that any such Claim shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “Representative PAGA Waiver” ).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of this representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the parties agree that court litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.

(d) Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration

In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the American Arbitration Association ( “AAA” ) and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the AAA Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement, and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( “AAA Consumer Rules” ), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules. You and MissionCat agree that the arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within 30 days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA.

As part of the arbitration, the parties will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim(s). The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision, which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all Claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules) subject to the following modifications:

(i) If MissionCat initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, MissionCat will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees.

(ii) If a Client or Missioner files a Claim in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the associated claim for damages does not exceed USD $10,000, MissionCat will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous, vexatious or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

(iii) If a Client or Missioner files a Claim in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the associated claim for damages exceeds USD $10,000, MissionCat shall pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court), including the regular and customary arbitration fees and expenses, and the Client or Missioner shall be responsible for contributing up to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which the Missioner was performed, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you as required by law or the applicable AAA Rules. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous, vexatious, or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), however, then the allocation of fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules.

(iv) Except as required by law or the applicable AAA Rules, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and pay any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the Claim(s) were litigated in a court, such as costs to subpoena witnesses and/or documents, take depositions and purchase deposition transcripts, copy documents, etc.).

(v) At the conclusion of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to the prevailing party, to the extent authorized by applicable law or the applicable AAA Rules.

Unless you and MissionCat agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings with a Missioner will take place in the county of the Missioner’s billing address, and any arbitration hearings with a Client will take place in the county in which the Client received Missioner services. If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a AAA arbitration.

(e) Exceptions to Arbitration

The Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims:

Claims for workers’ compensation, disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits;
Small claims actions that are within the scope of small claims court jurisdiction and brought on an individual basis;
Applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights;
Representative action brought on behalf of others under PAGA or other private attorney general acts, to the extent the representative PAGA Waiver in Section 19(d) is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law not preempted by the FAA; and
Claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law not preempted by the FAA.

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or a similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. This Agreement and Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from participating in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Agreement and do not prevent you from receiving an award for information provided to any government agencies.

(f) Severability

In addition to the severability provisions in subsections (b) and (c), in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
