CareWinners requires individuals who have registered as Caregivers and wish to provide Care Services to Care Recipients using CareWinners Platform to complete an initial background check from a third-party (currently, Checkr) and asks all Caregivers to consent to an annual eligibility background check thereafter (“Platform Eligibility Background Check”). In agreeing to complete a Platform Eligibility Background Check, each Caregiver acknowledges and agrees that Checkr may contact you regarding such Platform Eligibility Background Check and that you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions with Checkr in order to proceed. More information about the Platform Eligibility Background Check is available here.
Platform Eligibility Background Checks are designed by CareWinners to verify whether Caregivers meet CareWinners eligibility standards for participation on its platform, the scope of which shall be at CareWinners discretion. CareWinners reserves the right to change the scope of its Platform Eligibility Background Checks from time to time. Caregivers who do not agree to complete a Platform Eligibility Background Check will have only limited access to certain CareWinners Services and will not be visible to Care Recipients through CareWinners Services. CareWinners reserves the right to terminate a Caregiver s access to CareWinners Services based on the information contained in the report from any Platform Eligibility Background Check, even if such information was subsequently removed or changed. If CareWinners terminates your access to the Services on the basis of such report, we will notify you and provide you a copy of the report from the Platform Eligibility Background Check unless the consumer reporting agency has already provided you a copy or access to it. You agree that CareWinners is under no obligation to reinstate your access to the Services even if the information that led to the termination is subsequently changed or corrected. Any inaccuracies must be addressed with the consumer reporting agency that issued it and not CareWinners.
While CareWinners requires a Platform Eligibility Background Check from all Caregivers whose accounts are enabled to interact with Care Recipients through the Services, Care Recipients should understand that such Platform Eligibility Background Checks are limited in scope, have inherent limitation, and should not be taken as complete, accurate, up-to-date or conclusive evidence of the accuracy of any information those Caregivers have provided. Platform Eligibility Background Checks are based on the information made available by the underlying report agencies, which may be limited in scope. In addition to legal and reporting system limitations of Platform Eligibility Background Checks, each Background Check is performed with the authorization of the person being checked, using information he or she provides, such as home address, social security number, date of birth, and name. If the subject of a Platform Eligibility Background Check provides incorrect information, it might be run with inaccurate identifying data, which can impact its validity. Finally, records are not always reported accurately or promptly, and human and electronic error can result in inaccurate or incomplete reporting. Consequently, even the most comprehensive background check may not disclose the existence of all negative information. More information about the potential limitations of background checks is available here.
Each Care Recipient may have different standards or levels of comfort with respect to a Caregiver is history or insurance coverage than CareWinners has for eligibility to participate on its Services. In addition to other vetting, Care Recipients have the right to request that a Caregiver consent to additional background checks, which will be handled directly between such Care Recipients and Caregivers. However, please note that any such additional background checks will be regulated by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, as well as applicable state and local laws, and the reports will be considered consumer reports under FCRA. Care Recipients should familiarize themselves with their obligations regarding any such consumer reports under the FCRA and any applicable state and/or local laws prior to requesting an additional background check. Each Care Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that he or she will be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws in relation to any additional background checks he or she requests.
Each Care Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) CareWinners does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of Platform Eligibility Background Checks, and that (ii) he or she will not rely solely on CareWinners Platform Eligibility Background Check in selecting a Caregiver. Each Care Recipient hereby further agrees to release, indemnify and hold harmless CareWinners from any loss, liability, injury, death, damage, or costs that may result from reliance on any Platform Eligibility Background Checks, regardless of the cause, including, without limitation, due to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any information in connection with CareWinners.

You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to this Agreement, including this Arbitration Provision, to our privacy policy or data security generally, or otherwise related to the Services or our apps (“Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; (b) you or CareWinners may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents); and (c) CareWinners may seek equitable relief in court (including an injunction), if necessary, to stop or prevent your violation of this Agreement. This Arbitration Provision will apply, without limitation, to all Disputes that arose or were asserted before this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement were in effect, as well as to all Disputes arising thereafter.
Waiver of Class Relief
WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND CAREWINNERS WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER, OR PARTICIPATE IN, A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. YOU AND CAREWINNERS ARE EACH WAIVING RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Arbitration Rules and Forum
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Provision. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to arbitration@carewinners.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes will be subject to JAMS s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available here. JAMS s rules are also available here or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will jointly select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees (“Arbitration Fees”) and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, CareWinners will pay them for you. CareWinners will not seek attorneys fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any final decision made by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including this Arbitration Provision including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement or this Arbitration Provision are void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and CareWinners. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Provision). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
Waiver of Jury Trial
YOU AND CAREWINNERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and CareWinners are instead electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Provision, except as specified in the Applicability of Arbitration Provision section above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PERSON. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor CareWinners are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in the Governing Law and Venue section above.
Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Provision by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: CareWinners, Attn: Arbitration, (3059 Purple Martin Pl, Herndon, VA) and/or arbitration@carewinners.com within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Provision. Your notice must include your name and address, your Service Account username, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Provision. If you opt out of this Arbitration Provision, all other provisions of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Provision has no effect on your agreement to the rest of this Agreement or your agreement to any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us. If you opt out of this Arbitration Provision, CareWinners will likewise not be bound by this Arbitration Provision.
Severability
If any part or parts of this Arbitration Provision are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Provision will continue in full force and effect.
Survival of Provision
This Arbitration Provision will survive the termination of your relationship with CareWinners.
Modification
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Provision, such change will not apply to any individual claims of which you had already provided notice to CareWinners.
