2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

2.1 Brokerage Service. Leash provides an online marketplace connection using web-based technology that connects customers, contract drivers (“Contractors”) and pet services businesses (“Leash Platform”). Leash’s software permits registered users to request transportation for pets from Contractors.

The Contractor is a Pet Services Business.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ABILITY TO SCHEDULE TRANSPORTATION FOR YOUR PET THROUGH THE USE OF LEASH DOES NOT ESTABLISH LEASH AS A PROVIDER OF TRANSPORTATION, LOGISTICS OR DELIVERY SERVICES OR AS A TRANSPORTATION CARRIER.

2.2 License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Leash grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to: (i) access and use the web-technology on your personal device solely in connection with your use of the Services; and (ii) access and use any content, information and related materials that may be made available through the Services, in each case solely for your personal, noncommercial use.

2.5 Ownership. The Services and all rights therein are and shall remain Leash’s property. Neither these Terms nor your use of the Services convey or grant to you any rights: (i) in or related to the Services except for the limited license granted above; or (ii) to use or reference in any manner Leash’s company names, logos, product and service names, trademarks or services marks.

The Parties expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the FAA even in the event User and/or Leash are otherwise exempted from the FAA.

7.4.9. Either User or Leash may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this paragraph may be rendered ineffectual. A Party may apply to any Federal or State court in Douglas County Nebraska to compel arbitration. Judgment upon the Award shall be entered by the District Court of Douglas County Nebraska, which court shall be invested with the authority to grant and enforce any interim or permanent relief or injunction awarded, notwithstanding any statutory provision providing for venue in some other Court.

7.5 Survival. This Mutual Arbitration Provision will survive any termination of your relationship with Leash.

8. LITIGATION CLASS ACTION WAIVER. To the extent allowed by applicable law, separate and apart from the Mutual Arbitration Provision the Parties agree that any proceeding to litigate in court any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and User and Leash agree not to seek to have any controversy, claim or dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which User or Leash acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity (“Litigation Class Action Waiver”). The Parties further agrees that no proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding, without the prior written consent of all parties to any such proceeding.
