THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

Section 2 Arbitration Agreement.
By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that
you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against Volt Mobility on an
individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement.
This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative
action against Volt Mobility, and also preclude you from participating in or
recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated,
or representative action brought against Volt Mobility by someone else.
2.1
Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Volt Mobility.
You and Volt Mobility agree that any dispute,
claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the
existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity
thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether
before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding
arbitration between you and Volt Mobility, and not in a court of law.
You acknowledge and agree that you and
Volt Mobility are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a
plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative
proceeding. Unless both you and Volt Mobility otherwise agree in writing, any
arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class,
collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and Volt Mobility each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court
and 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 a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
2.2
Rules and Governing Law.
The arbitration will be administered by
the American Arbitration Association (“RoadSide Assistance”) in accordance with the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance’s
Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer
Related Disputes (the “ RoadSide Assistance Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this
Arbitration Agreement. The e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
The parties agree that the arbitrator
(“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall
have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the
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 shall also be responsible for
determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to
whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to
arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
All matters relating to the Website and
these Terms of Use 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
Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or
rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction).
2.3
Process.
A party who desires to initiate
arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration
as specified in the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance Rules. (The e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance provides a form Demand for Arbitration
– Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance at 1-800-778-7879).
The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney
specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Colorado and will be
selected by the parties from the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators.
If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of
delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance will appoint the
Arbitrator in accordance with the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance Rules.
2.4
Location and Procedure.
Unless you and Volt Mobility otherwise agree,
the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim
does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the
basis of documents you and Volt Mobility submit to the Arbitrator, unless you
request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If
your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the
e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance Rules. Subject to the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to
direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the
expedited nature of the arbitration.
2.5
Arbitrator’s Decision.
The Arbitrator will render an award within
the time frame specified in the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award
may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The
Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the
claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the
claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and
binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall
have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in
arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses,
to the extent provided under applicable law. Volt Mobility will not seek, and
hereby waives all rights Volt Mobility may have under applicable law to recover,
attorneys’ fees and expenses if Volt Mobility prevails in arbitration.
2.6
Fees.
Your responsibility to pay any e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance filing,
administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the e-Vehicle RoadSide Assistance
Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Volt Mobility
will pay all such fees, unless the Arbitrator finds that either the substance
of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous
or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth
in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
2.7
Changes.
Notwithstanding the provisions in Section
I above, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if Volt Mobility changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the
Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such
change by providing Volt Mobility written notice of such rejection within 30 days
of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective” date
above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail or hand delivery
to our registered agent for service of process, c/o Volt Mobility Corp. (the name
and current contact information for the registered agent is available online
www.Volt Mobility.com/aboutus), or (b) by email from the email address associated
with your Account to: general@Volt Mobility.com. In order to be effective, the
notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject
changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing
that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Volt Mobility in accordance
with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first
agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).
2.8
Severability and Survival.
If any portion of this Arbitration
Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the
unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2)
severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact
whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability
to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant
to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must
therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative
basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction
and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims
shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Volt Mobility the
license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User

permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual
property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in
the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
You agree to not provide User Content that
is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or
otherwise offensive, as determined by Volt Mobility in its sole discretion, whether
or not such material may be protected by law. Volt Mobility may, but shall not be
obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Volt Mobility’s sole
discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.
4.6

You are responsible for obtaining the data
network access necessary to use the Automobile UseServices. Your mobile

updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Ride
Sharing Services and Applications and any updates thereto. Volt Mobility does not
guarantee that the Automobile UseServices, or any portion thereof, will function
on any particular hardware or devices. In addition, the Automobile UseServices
may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet
and electronic communications.
Section 5 Payment
You understand that the use of the Automobile
Use Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you
receive (“Charges”). Volt Mobility will receive and/or enable your payment of the
applicable Charges for services or goods obtained through your use of the Automobile Use Services. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required
by law. Charges may include other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges
including a booking fee, municipal tolls, airport surcharges or processing fees
for split payments.
All Charges and payments will be enabled
by Volt Mobility using the preferred payment method designated in your Account,
after which you will receive a receipt by email. If your primary Account
payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be
charged, you agree that Volt Mobility may use a secondary payment method in your
Account, if available. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless
otherwise determined by Volt Mobility.
As between you and Volt Mobility, Volt Mobility
reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all
services or goods obtained through the use of the Automobile UseServices at any
time in Volt Mobility’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that
Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially
during times of high demand. Volt Mobility will use reasonable efforts to inform
you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for
Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such
Charges or the amounts thereof. Volt Mobility may from time to time provide certain
users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different
amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the
use of the Automobile UseServices, and you agree that such promotional offers
and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your
use of the Automobile UseServices or the Charges applied to you. You may elect
to cancel your request for Automobile UseServices at any time prior to the
commencement of such Automobile UseServices, in which case you may be charged a
cancellation fee either from Volt Mobility or on a Third Party Provider’s behalf.
After you have received services or goods obtained through the Automobile UseService,
you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional
feedback. Volt Mobility may use the proceeds of any Charges for any purpose,
subject to any payment obligations it has agreed to with any Third Party
Providers or other third parties.
In certain cases, with respect to Third
Party Providers, Charges you incur will be owed directly to Third Party
Providers, and Volt Mobility will collect payment of those charges from you, on the
Third Party Provider’s behalf as their limited payment collection agent, and
payment of the Charges shall be considered the same as payment made directly by
you to the Third Party Provider. In such cases, you retain the right to request
lower Charges from a Third Party Provider for services or goods received by you
from such Third Party Provider at the time you receive such services or goods,
and Charges you incur will be owed to the Third Party Provider. Volt Mobility will
respond accordingly to any request from a Third Party Provider to modify the
Charges for a particular service or good. This payment structure is intended to
fully compensate a Third Party Provider, if applicable, for the services
obtained in connection with your use of the Services. In all other cases,
Charges you incur will be owed and paid directly to Volt Mobility or its
affiliates, where Volt Mobility is solely liable for any obligations to Third Party
Providers. In such cases, you retain the right to request lower Charges from
Volt Mobility for services or goods received by you from a Third Party Provider at
the time you receive such services or goods, and Volt Mobility will respond
accordingly to any request from you to modify the Charges for a particular
service.
5.1
Repair, Cleaning or Lost and Found Fees.
You shall be responsible for the cost of
repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, vehicles and property resulting
from use of the Automobile UseServices under your Account in excess of normal
“wear and tear” damages and necessary cleaning (“Repair or Cleaning”). In the
event that a Repair or Cleaning request is verified by Volt Mobility in Volt Mobility’s
reasonable discretion, Volt Mobility reserves the right to facilitate payment for
the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning using your payment method
designated in your Account. Such amounts, as well as those pertaining to lost
and found goods, will be transferred by Volt Mobility to a Third Party Provider, if
applicable, and are non-refundable.

INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RELATED TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE AUTOMOBILE USE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE NEGLIGENCE (EITHER ACTIVE, AFFIRMATIVE, SOLE, OR CONCURRENT) OF Volt Mobility, EVEN IF Volt Mobility HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Volt Mobility SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES, LIABILITY OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF: (i) YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE
