corporation or other instrumentality of governments, or of any civil or military authority; national emergencies; insurrections; civil

9. Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this

entered into and performed in Orange County, California. The parties hereto hereby consent to jurisdiction and venue in Orange
County, California. The arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in its Orange
County office, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Rules and
Procedures. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge in the federal, state or appellate courts of the State of California affiliated with
JAMS. Each of the parties to this Agreement reserves the right to file with a court of competent jurisdiction an application for
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, writ of attachment, writ of possession, temporary protective order and/or the
appointment of a receiver on the grounds that the arbitration award to which the applicable may be entitled may be rendered
ineffectual in the absence of such relief. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. All discovery disputes shall be resolved by the arbitrator.
Any arbitration hereunder may be consolidated by JAMS with the arbitration of any other dispute arising out of or relating to the
same subject matter when the arbitrator determines that there is a common issue of law or fact creating the possibility of conflicting
rulings by more than one arbitrator. Any disputes over which arbitrator shall hear any consolidated matter shall be resolved by
JAMS. The arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement, nor to grant
any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available in a court of law. The expenses of the
arbitration, including any JAMS administration fees and any arbitrator’s fees, and costs of the use of facilities during the arbitration
hearings, shall be borne equally by the parties.
10. Governing Law; Venue. The display or use of the Services, Software or Website alone does not subject Fi9 to any specific
jurisdiction. All questions in respect of the enforceability of the agreement of the parties to arbitrate pursuant to subsection F.
above which may be resolved by state law shall be resolved according to the law of the State of California. Any action brought to
enforce the provisions of subsection F. above shall be brought in the Orange County Superior Court. All other questions in respect
of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the interpretation, enforcement of this Agreement (other than the right to arbitrate),
and the rights, duties and liabilities of the parties to this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without
giving effect to its law regarding the conflict of laws.
11. Miscellaneous. If for any reason the court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or a portion
thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced in such jurisdiction to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect
the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Failure of a party to enforce
performance of the terms, conditions or other provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any right granted
under this Agreement to such party nor to affect the validity of this Agreement or such party's right thereafter to enforce each and
every provision of this Agreement. Any waiver amendment or amendment of any provisions of this Agreement shall be effective
only if in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the Employer and Fi9. User may not assign this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of Fi9. Any assignment in violation hereof shall be void and
without effect. Fi9 may assign this Agreement without User’s approval.
By signing below, Employer hereby accepts all provisions within this User Agreement and acknowledges that Employer's account
will not be activated until (1) this signed User Agreement is returned to Form I-9 Compliance, LLC and, (2) if Employer is electing
to enroll in the E-Verify Program, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Employer, the Department of Homeland
Security, the Social Security Administration, Form I-9 Compliance, LLC (the Employer Agent) has been signed. A signed copy of
this Agreement and/or the MOU delivered to Form I-9 Compliance, LLC in person, by e-mail to: support@formi9.com or by facsimile
to: (949) 720-4933, shall be as legally binding as if it were an originally signed form.
