1. Acceptance of Terms of Consultant Agreement This Consultant Agreement (the “Consultant Agreement”) is a binding legal agreement between you and RepairForce LLC (“RepairForce,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). RepairForce provides an online platform (the “Platform”) that connects users seeking answers to questions (“Customer”) with persons who answer such questions (“Consultants”) (collectively, “Users”). This Consultant Agreement governs your use of the websites, applications, and other offerings from RepairForce in your capacity as a Consultant.

By using or otherwise accessing the Platform as a Consultant, or clicking to accept or agree to this Consultant Agreement, you (1) accept and agree to the terms of this Consultant Agreement, Consultant Community Guidelines, and all rules, policies, and disclaimers posted on the Platform or about which you are notified; and (2) consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and other handling of information as described in our Privacy Policy.

All references to “you” or “your,” as applicable, mean the person who accesses, uses, and/or participates in the Platform in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns, and successors. If you use the Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity, your acceptance of this Consultant Agreement will be deemed an acceptance by that entity, and “you” and “your” herein shall refer to that entity, its directors, officers, employees, and agents.

2. The Platform The Platform is an online venue for informational and educational purposes and connects Customers with Consultants. RepairForce is not in the business of providing or selling information or education that is within any Consultant’s area of expertise, and RepairForce itself otherwise does not provide advice or any professional services to Customers.

You are an independent provider of services, and you represent and warrant you are authorized to conduct the services contemplated in this Consultant Agreement in the location in which you operate. You further agree that you are not an employee of RepairForce and you understand that (a) you have sole discretion in selecting which Customer questions to answer from those that are made available to you on the Platform, (b) you may elect not to answer any questions from Customers, and (c) you have sole discretion in controlling how you perform any services on the Platform. You further understand that site tools, RepairForce’s mobile application or any other tools (collectively, “Tools”) offered by RepairForce are optional, such Tools are purely offered for Consultant’s convenience, and usage of such Tools is not mandatory. Without limitation, offered Tools may include large language models and artificial intelligence features that Consultants may at their option utilize to review, analyze, and provide suggestions for responding to Customer questions. You have no obligation to use any Tools, and any Tools made available to you are otherwise offered on an as-is basis with no warranties of any kind. You shall remain solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your responses and compliance with this Consultant Agreement, regardless of whether you use the Tools made available to you.

Without limitation, offered Tools may include large language models and artificial intelligence features that Consultants may at their option utilize to review, analyze, and provide suggestions for responding to Customer questions. You have no obligation to use any Tools, and any Tools made available to you are otherwise offered on an as-is basis with no warranties of any kind. You shall remain solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your responses and compliance with this Consultant Agreement, regardless of whether you use the Tools made available to you.

No relationship (such as partnership, agent, joint venturer, or employee) between you and RepairForce is created by this Consultant Agreement or your participation on the Platform. You acknowledge that you are not an employee or agent of RepairForce but are, like Customers, only Users of the Platform. You shall act in accordanceance with this status and shall not hold yourself out as an officer, employee or agent of RepairForce, nor make any claim based on any right or privilege applicable to RepairForce’s employees. Under no circumstances shall you look to RepairForce as your employer, or as a partner, agent, or principal. Nothing regarding your participation on the Platform will be considered as an endorsement, referral or recommendation by RepairForce of you or the answers you provide and you will not, either on the Platform or in any other forum or by any other means, suggest such an endorsement.

We are not involved in the conversations you may engage in with Customers on the Platform. RepairForce shall not be liable for (a) any acts or omissions by you, (b) content in posts made by Users on the Platform, including questions, answers, requests for information, responses, profiles, Consultant signatures, qualifications, comments, profile information, and posts in the Consultant Forum and other places where Users communicate with one another (collectively, “Posts”), or (c) the ability of Customers to pay for answers. You understand and agree that RepairForce cannot ensure that a Customer will complete a transaction. You further understand and agree that Consultants may not have access to all questions or requests from Users, and that RepairForce retains the right to route questions to Consultants in its sole discretion.

EMERGENCY QUESTIONS AND CRISIS SITUATIONS (particularly regarding medical or mental health issues) should not be directed to the Platform and should, instead be directed immediately by telephone or in-person to qualified professionals (e.g., in the U.S., call 911). The Platform is not the appropriate venue to deal with such situations.

3. Modification of Consultant Agreement or Platform Except for Section 15, providing for binding arbitration and waiver of class action rights, RepairForce reserves the right, at its reasonable and sole discretion, to modify or replace the terms of this Consultant Agreement at any time. The most current version of this Consultant Agreement will be accessible through the Platform. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. If a revision to this Consultant Agreement, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you by contacting you either through the email address associated with your Account (as defined herein) or through a notice on the Platform. Except as otherwise stated by RepairForce in writing, use of the Platform by you after any modification to this Consultant Agreement constitutes your acceptance of this Consultant Agreement as modified. If you do not accept the changes to this Consultant Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your Account and discontinue use of the Platform.

RepairForce reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, temporarily or permanently, the Platform or associated services (or any part thereof), with or without notice.

4. Eligibility & Account Creation You hereby represent and warrant that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties set forth in this Consultant Agreement and to abide by and comply with this Consultant Agreement. Only individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law are permitted to apply to be or participate on the Platform as a Consultant.

In order to prevent fraudulent use of the RepairForce membership program by Customers, Customers who have purchased memberships are ineligible to participate as Consultants on RepairForce during the term of their membership, as are their immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling and spouse or “step” of each) and those living in the same households (persons, whether related or not, who lived in the same residence as the member for at least three (3) months during the twelve (12)-month period preceding the start of the RepairForce membership).

By registering as a Consultant, you represent and warrant that you are properly and fully qualified and experienced, and licensed and insured as required by applicable laws or regulations to which you may be subject, in the jurisdiction(s) in which you provide your Answers.

You must create a Consultant account (“Account”) to access certain features of the Platform, such as selecting questions from Customers to answer. To create an Account, you must provide us with certain information about you, such as your name, email address, phone number, and area of expertise. You will also be required to select a username and password. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the Account registration process and at all other times when you use the Platform, and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your Account password. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs on your Account, and you will notify RepairForce immediately of any unauthorized use. For clarity, RepairForce is not liable for any losses by any party caused by an unauthorized use of your Account. Your Account is nontransferable except with RepairForce’s written permission and in line with RepairForce policies and procedures. If any RepairForce account of yours has been suspended or terminated, you may not open another account on the Platform.

As permitted by applicable law, we may (a) ask you to provide identification or other information, (b) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background, (c) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, (d) request and obtain information about your professional credentials, and (e) otherwise request information or obtain information about you to protect the safety and security of the Platform, RepairForce, other Users, and the public.

5. Consultant Conduct a. Registration Information and Credentials In applying to be a Consultant or using the Platform as a Consultant, you represent and warrant that you have and will continue: (a) to provide and maintain accurate, complete, and non-misleading information in connection with your registration and Account; (b) to provide and maintain accurate descriptions of any background, skills, knowledge, and level of experience (including professional licenses, certifications, education, employment, etc.) (collectively, “Credentials”); and (c) to be truthful including, without limitation, not misrepresent yourself, such as, but not limited to, using or creating a misleading username.

b. Changes in Credentials If you experience any negative change to your Credentials (e.g. active license becomes inactive or suspended, disciplinary investigation is opened), you must notify RepairForce of such change by sending an email to consultantsupport@myrepairforce.com within twenty-four (24) hours of the change. In addition, if such change makes you ineligible to be a Consultant on the Platform, then you must also immediately cease answering questions on the Platform.

c. Agreement to Audits RepairForce reserves the right, and you agree to cooperate—including in responding to requests from RepairForce for information related to your Credentials—to periodically audit your Credentials or background. If you do not provide timely and accurate information, you understand we may terminate your Account.

d. Consultant Community Guidelines You shall comply with all requirements in the Consultant Community Guidelines. Without limitation, you must be compassionate, polite, and respectful toward other Consultants and Customers and to RepairForce personnel. Consultants who are rude (or unprofessional, argumentative or threatening) to others, including Customers, other Consultants, and RepairForce personnel, as determined by RepairForce in its sole discretion, may (1) be given notice of such violation and/or (2) have Accounts suspended, limited, or terminated. For more information, view the Rudeness Zero-Tolerance Policy of the Consultant Community Guidelines. Without limiting any other requirements herein, your answers and Posts must relate to the question asked, must be appropriate, and shall not contain inappropriate, objectionable, offensive, harmful, or illegal content or materials.

e. Answering Questions and Ratings i. Expertise and Compliance with Laws You will provide competent answers that are within your realm of expertise and any applicable credentials only, and will use at least a reasonable standard of care in providing answers. A reasonable standard of care is the higher of: (i) the standard you apply in your profession not conducted on the Platform; or (ii) the standard of care required by the applicable profession.

You will abide by all laws, rules, regulations, and ethical standards pertaining to your profession and/or the profession applicable to categories in which you are a Consultant (including, if applicable, any ethical obligations relating to conflicts of interest). By way of example only, if you are a Consultant in the Automotive Category of the Platform, you will not provide any information that would allow illegal access to an automobile system, including but not limited to a radio or system code.

You will not answer questions in or related to any other categories or subcategories if you have not been verified in accordance with this Consultant Agreement and admitted by RepairForce to answer questions that fall within such category. As an example, regardless of where the question is posted, you will not answer questions that fall within the Legal, Medical or Veterinary categories or subcategories unless you have been admitted to those categories following an assessment of your relevant credentials. If you are unclear about the requirements for Consultants in particular categories or subcategories, please email consulting@myrepairforce.com. You shall not answer any question that is miscategorized; you agree you will flag such question by using the Platform reporting function.

ii. Rules Specific to Certain Consultant Categories Consultants in the Repair categories shall not act in a manner or engage in a form of communication that would establish a professional-client relationship on the Platform; however, they may do so outside of the Platform.

iii. Checking-In with Customers Where you have provided an answer to a Customer question, you may only check-in regarding that question (e.g., timeframe and frequency) as set forth in the Consultant Community Guidelines.

iv. Ratings You understand and agree that Customers may provide ratings of Consultants who provide answers. To preserve the integrity of ratings, you shall not ask Customers to submit any ratings.

f. Limited Exclusivity You will not duplicate—or authorize anyone else to duplicate—any portion of your answers on RepairForce on any other fee-based question-and-answer website, unless that question-and-answer component is via the RepairForce referral program or it is a website on which you are the only person answering questions. This does not prohibit you from providing the same substantive answer to a question, but only from providing it using the same words as used on the Platform. The provisions of this Consultant Agreement are not intended to prevent you from practicing your profession, but only from engaging in the limited activity described therein.

g. Taxes Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant is obligated to report as income all compensation received by RepairForce pursuant to this Agreement subject to applicable law in your jurisdiction. Subject to applicable law, Consultant agrees to and acknowledges the obligation to pay all self-employment and other taxes on such income. Consultant will receive no RepairForce-sponsored benefits such as, but not limited to, paid vacation, sick leave, medical insurance, and 401k participation. If Consultant is reclassified by a state or federal agency, court, or arbitrator as RepairForce’s employee, Consultant will become a reclassified employee and will receive no benefits from RepairForce, except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by the terms of RepairForce’s benefit plans or programs of the Company in effect at the time of such reclassification, Consultant would otherwise be eligible for such benefits.

h. Confidential Information Consultants are granted access to the Platform beyond the access granted to Customers and, as such, have access to information not known by Customers of the Platform (“Confidential Information”). Consultants shall (1) maintain all Confidential Information in confidence; (2) use such Confidential Information in confidence; (3) use such Confidential Information only in connection with their legitimate activities on the Platform; (4) not use Confidential Information for the purpose of developing, operating, or participating in any competing service; and (5) not disclose Confidential Information to non-Consultants unless required by law. For example, and without limitation, you will use any information obtained about Customers on the Platform strictly to provide your services as authorized by this Consultant Agreement.

You are responsible for all Posts you contribute, in any manner, to the Platform, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it.

Membership Model. For questions submitted through the membership model, a Consultant shall be paid a fee for each question answered based on the Consultant’s designated pricing tier (or level) for that time period and their category as specified to the Consultant via email or through the Platform.

PPC Model. For questions submitted through the PPC model, Consultants (except for those Consultants in jurisdictions specified below) receive the fee offered in the Platform for such question (the “Question Value”) following submission of the answer.

Question Value is determined by RepairForce in its sole discretion and may be changed periodically.

Question Incentive Program Payment. RepairForce, in its sole discretion, may offer additional compensation (“Bonus Fee”) to Consultants for answering certain questions subject to certain conditions (e.g., within a certain timeframe). A Consultant shall only receive a Bonus Fee if such Consultant satisfies all the conditions disclosed at the time the Bonus Fee was offered.

b. Customer Paid Bonuses Customers may have the opportunity to provide Consultants bonuses or tips (“Customer Paid Bonus”). Except as otherwise provided on the Platform, RepairForce shall retain 3% of such Customer Paid Bonus.

c. Premium Services RepairForce may also enable you to participate in Premium Services, which are additional services a Customer may elect to upgrade to at either a prompt from RepairForce or a prompt from a Consultant. This may include a live text-based chat A live telephone call, video chat, document review and analysis, remote desktop assistance, and/or a web conference.

d. Withdrawal of Fees Once you have more than Twenty U.S. Dollars (U.S. $20) of payments from Customers in your Account (i.e. you cannot place funds into your Account to reach $20; it must be accumulated through Customer payments). RepairForce transfers properly requested Customer payments to Consultants via direct deposit by the (5th) business day of the upcoming month (or, in its discretion, RepairForce may choose to forward Customer payments even without a Consultant’s request for payment). You agree that RepairForce has the right to resolve Customer complaints as it deems necessary or advisable, including, in RepairForce’s sole discretion, issuing refunds to Customers to settle disputes. If RepairForce decides to issue a refund to a Customer, RepairForce may seek reimbursement from the Consultant for such refund, or RepairForce may offset any refunds against any future Customer payments to be forwarded to the Consultant. RepairForce also reserves the right to resolve accounting discrepancies with Customers in its sole discretion.

If RepairForce believes, in its sole discretion, that any Customer funds were paid to a Consultant under suspicious circumstances or that funds were derived from a suspicious Customer account, RepairForce will investigate the situation until it has reached an adequate resolution, as determined by RepairForce in its sole discretion. The investigation or resolution may require the involvement of certain third parties, such as an applicable credit card company. Such an investigation may require RepairForce to put a hold on a Consultant’s account. RepairForce will make commercially reasonable efforts not to exceed a 90-day hold on a Consultant’s account during such an investigation.

e. Customers’ Ability to Pay and Payment Processing Disclaimers You acknowledge that RepairForce has no control over, and makes no representation or warranty of any kind, as to the ability or willingness of Customers to pay for the answers provided by Consultants. In addition, you acknowledge that you are never required by RepairForce to answer any questions on the Platform.

If a Consultant believes there is a problem with RepairForce’s billing or payment system, the Consultant should notify RepairForce by email to consulting@repairforce.com within thirty (30) days of such problem.

If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to California Civil Code Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

15. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

a. Initial Dispute Resolution Our Support Department is available to address any concerns you may have regarding the Platform. Our Support Department can resolve most concerns quickly to our Users’ satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts through this Support process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration. To adequately engage in initial dispute resolution, each party must notify the other party, in writing, of the facts of the dispute and all damages claimed. Such a writing must be sent to the Consultant’s email address on file with RepairForce, whichever is applicable (“Dispute Notification”). The party receiving the Dispute Notification has thirty (30) days from receipt of the Dispute Notification to respond. The other party then has 15 days to reply to the response.

b. Binding Arbitration If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution begins under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate is a contract governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. section 1, et seq., and evidences a transaction involving commerce. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Consultant Agreement (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform and any services made available through the Platform, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions and except that each party will be permitted at least one deposition unless forbidden by JAMS. If for any reason JAMS is unable to administer arbitration, either party may apply to a court to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. section 5.

Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 15, 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 this Consultant Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Consultant Agreement is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator shall also be empowered to consolidate claims raised between the same parties to a single arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding on the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

The Streamlined Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Consultant Agreement, you will be required to pay up to $2000 to initiate the arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require RepairForce to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, RepairForce will pay the remaining filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.

Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party’s identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which they are based. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordanceance with JAMS Rule 24 for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).

The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS’s Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 15 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory 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.

c. Location If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. You and RepairForce agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Alabama, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

d. Class Action Waiver The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND REPAIRFORCE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

e. Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also elect to have disputes or claims resolved in a small claims court that are within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.

f. 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 the following email address: legal@repairforce.com. The notice must be sent within 30 days of September 10, 2025 or your first use of the Platform, whichever is later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, RepairForce also will not be bound by them.

g. Changes to this Section RepairForce will provide 30 days’ notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Section 15. Changes will become effective on the 30th day. If you continue to use the site after the 30th day, you agree that any unfiled claims of which RepairForce does not have actual notice are subject to the revised clause.

16. Venue and Governing Law For any dispute not subject to arbitration or under the jurisdiction of a small claims court, you and RepairForce agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in Idaho. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

This Consultant Agreement and the relationship between you and RepairForce shall be governed by the laws of the State of Alabama without regard to conflict of law provisions.

17. Links to Third-Party Sites and Services The Platform may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other sites, applications or resources. Because RepairForce has no control over such sites, applications and resources, you acknowledge and agree that RepairForce is not responsible for the availability of such external sites, applications or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that RepairForce shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.

18. Miscellaneous Entire Agreement. This Consultant Agreement (and any additional terms, contracts, rules and conditions that RepairForce may post on the Platform) constitute the entire agreement between you and RepairForce with respect to your access to and use of Platform in your capacity as a Consultant and supersedes any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and RepairForce. If there is a conflict between an oral or written representation of any RepairForce employee or agent and this Consultant Agreement (other than modifications to this Consultant Agreement executed in writing by the CEO or authorized-in-fact representative of RepairForce), this Consultant Agreement will prevail. To the extent the terms of this Consultant Agreement are in conflict or inconsistent with one another, this Consultant Agreement and the Privacy Policy will prevail for Consultants over other terms, rules, policies, and FAQs on the Platform.

Waiver and Severability of Terms of this Consultant Agreement. The failure of RepairForce to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Consultant Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Consultant Agreement is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction (as applicable) to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Consultant Agreement remain in full force and effect.

Statute of Limitations. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Platform or this Consultant Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. This statute of limitations provision does not apply to residents of New Jersey.
