  2. Our Services
    1. Human.Quest is an information and educational crowd-sourcing mobile app and website platform marketplace for users to ask questions and receive answers on a variety of subjects, or to provide answers to other user’s asking questions, in “Real-Time” or “Near Real-Time” (defined hereafter in section 2.b.). Human.Quest is an independent third-party providing the venue in which information can be exchanged. The exchange of information occurs in an interactive mode, including a phone/voice call supported by chat, screen sharing, video call, and whiteboarding. The App has two interchangeable user roles: “Seeker” and “Provider”. The Seeker is a human looking for an answer to a question, and that pays another person for obtaining the answer in pay as you go model, while the Provider is a human that supplies the answer to a question, and is paid for providing the answer. The Provider will determine, and set, their individual rate of compensation for providing the answer, charging the Seeker a rate by the minute. Provider and Seeker roles are interchangeable i.e. a Seeker can ask questions and also provide answers to other Seekers in the Provider role and vice versa. The Seeker types the question in the App or Website and is presented with a list of matching Providers using Machine Learning based recommendation engine. The Seeker scrolls through the presented Provider profiles to accept their offer.
    2. For Real-Time answers: the Seeker selects a “call” button on one of the Provider profiles based on the Provider’s ratings and rate of compensation to connect with them over a live phone call. The Seeker can also tap to select one profile at a time to see more details about the Provider and the list of questions they have answered in the past along with their ratings. For Near Real-Time answers: the Seeker selects up to 5 Provider profiles and presses the confirm button to send the question to the selected Provider(s). Selected profiles will receive a notification on their end with the question and the buttons used to reply as follows: “Call Now”, “15 minutes” or “Not Interested”.
    3. Seekers will be charged nothing for the first two (2) minutes of each call. Beginning at two (2) minutes, the Seeker’s credit card is charged in real-time based upon the duration of the call and the Provider’s per minute compensation rate as disclosed to the Seeker by the Provider through the App prior to the call. Charges are made at the end of each call.
    4. Our Services will require that Seekers and Providers register for an account with Human.Quest.
    5. Any modifications and new features added to the Service are also subject to this Agreement.

  40. Dispute Resolution

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION ALSO CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT THAT YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

    You and Human.Quest agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and Human.Quest (including any claim or dispute between you and a third-party agent of Human.Quest) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of Human.Quest or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Dispute Resolution Section.

    1. Applicable Law. You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Human.Quest, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.
    2. Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Human.Quest, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify.. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. If you reside in the U.S., the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
    3. (c) Attorney’s Fees. In the event the Company brings any action at law or at equity for the enforcement of any rights hereunder or in connection with any claim, controversy, or dispute arising from or in connection with this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to collect from the Client, in addition to any damages, all costs, fees, and expenses incurred in such dispute, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees
    4. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
    5. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF SUCH OTHER PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL
    6. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. We at Human.Quest believe that most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@human.quest. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Human.Quest should be sent to the address provided in the Contact Us section at the end of these Terms of Service ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Human.Quest and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Human.Quest may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Human.Quest or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator during the arbitration proceeding.
    7. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Human.Quest and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for USD $10,000 or less, Human.Quest agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds USD $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
    8. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
    9. Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection above titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
    10. Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Arbitration Agreement above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of New Jersey in and for the County in which Human.Quest has established its principal office. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of New Jersey for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. You also agree that: (i) our Services shall be deemed solely based in the State of New Jersey; and (ii) our Services shall be deemed passive Services that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us and our assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey.
  41. Law Enforcement
    1. Human.Quest is committed to cooperating with law enforcement while respecting each individual’s right to privacy. If Human.Quest receives a request for user account information from a government agency investigating criminal activity, we will review the request to be certain that it satisfies all legal requirements before releasing information to the requesting agency.
    2. Furthermore, under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2702(b)(8) and 2702(c)(4) (Voluntary Disclosure Of Customer Communications or Records), Human.Quest may disclose user account information to law enforcement, without a subpoena, court order, or search warrant, in response to a valid emergency when we believe that doing so is necessary to prevent death or serious physical harm to someone. Human.Quest will not release more information than it prudently believes is necessary to prevent harm in an emergency situation.
  42. Statutory Rights; Notice To California Residents

    If you are a California resident, under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing, currently at: 1625 N.
