SECTION 81. MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION

Except for disputes that Applicable Law prohibits from being arbitrated, the parties agree that disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Driver's use of the CiRide Platform shall be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than court litigation.

Nothing in this section prevents a Driver from exercising a right that cannot legally be waived.

REGULATORY DISCLAIMER

These Terms are intended to establish the contractual framework for use of the CiRide Platform.

They are not intended to replace or supersede any federal, Washington State, King County, City of Seattle, insurance, licensing, permitting, transportation, tax, accessibility, nondiscrimination, privacy, or other legal requirement.

Where Applicable Law imposes a requirement that conflicts with a provision of these Terms, Applicable Law shall control to the extent required.

The independent-contractor provisions in these Terms describe the parties' intended contractual relationship but do not determine legal classification where Applicable Law provides otherwise.

The compensation provisions do not waive or limit any mandatory minimum compensation requirement.

The arbitration and class-action provisions do not waive governmental enforcement authority or any statutory right that cannot lawfully be waived.

CiRide recommends that these Terms be reviewed periodically by qualified Washington legal counsel, particularly when there are changes to TNC, taxi, independent-contractor, compensation, insurance, privacy, arbitration, tax, or transportation laws and regulations.
