Waiver of Class and Collective Claims. Employee and the Company waive their right to file any arbitration on a class or collective basis; both Employee and the Company agree to file any arbitration only on an individual basis and agree not to file any arbitration as a representative of any class or group of others. Therefore, neither Employee nor the Company will seek to certify a class or collective arbitration or otherwise seek to proceed in arbitration on a representative basis, and any arbitrator(s) appointed pursuant to this agreement to arbitrate shall have no authority to combine more than one individual’s claim or claims into a single case, participate in or facilitate notification of potential claims to others, arbitrate any form of a class, collective, or representative proceeding or award any relief to a class of individuals. Nor shall Employee or the Company participate in any class or collective action involving claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate, but instead shall arbitrate all claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate on an individual basis.

The Company and Employee mutually agree that by entering into this Agreement, they both waive their right to have any dispute brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action, collective action and/or representative action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective or representative action. All claims covered by this arbitration agreement will be pursued in an individual claimant proceeding and not as part of a representative, collective, or class action. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. This Agreement does not prevent the filing of charges with a government agency like the Department of Labor or participation in any investigation or proceeding conducted by a government agency.

Waiver of Class, Collective, and Representative Claims. The parties agree that all claims must be pursued on an individual basis only. By signing this Agreement, you waive your right to commence, or be a party to, any class, collective, or representative actions or to bring jointly any claim against [[Company,:Organization]] with any other person. The parties agree that any claim can be pursued, but only on an individual basis. If you bring any claims under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) that under then-current law are not subject to mandatory arbitration, you agree to hold all such claims in abeyance and to arbitrate to final resolution any and all of your individual claims before proceeding in court with any PAGA claims. Disputes concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this class action waiver shall not be deemed a Covered Dispute and shall instead be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this class action waiver is found unlawful or unenforceable, any class, collective, or other representative based claim must be brought in a court or other forum of competent jurisdiction and may not be brought in arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no power under this Agreement to consolidate claims, to certify a collective or class action, or to issue an order providing relief inconsistent with this Agreement.

Class, Collective or Representative Action Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, no claims may be brought or maintained on a class, collective or representative basis either in a court of law or arbitration, notwithstanding the rules of the arbitral body. Associate and the Company expressly waive any right with respect to any claims to submit, initiate, or participate as a plaintiff, claimant or member in a class action or collective action, regardless of whether the action is filed in arbitration or in a court of law.
