Native Platform Definitions:

"Collector" means a user registered with the Native App who is independent contractor engaged in the business of performing on demand data collection services.

"Customer" means a user registered with the Native Platform to request data collection services by submitting a Task and paying the fee in the Offer.

"Deliverables" means the results of Native data collection services as described in a Task, including but not limited to, survey responses, designs, data, images, photographs, video recordings, audio recordings, biographical information, geospatial data, and other forms of information.

"Native App" means a mobile software app that is used by Collectors to facilitate data collection services.

"Native Platform" or "Platform" means a web-based technology platform for tasking data collection from Collectors, receiving Deliverables from Collectors, and transferring Deliverables to Customers.

"Service" means facilitating data collection services by a Customer requesting data collection in a specific location by posting a Task on the Native App. Based upon characteristics of the request for data collection made by the Customer, Native will submit a payment offer to Collectors within the vicinity of the task to perform the requested data collection services.

IF ANY PART OF THIS CLAUSE, OTHER THAN WAIVERS OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS, IS DEEMED OR FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THE REMAINDER SHALL REMAIN ENFORCEABLE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IF THE WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT ENFORCEABLE AS TO ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, SUCH NON-ENFORCEABILITY SHALL APPLY TO SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS ONLY, AND ALL OTHER PERSONS SHALL CONTINUE TO BE GOVERNED BY THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE.

GIVING UP RIGHT OF CLASS ACTION. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS ACTION CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST NATIVE ENTITIES INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.
