Origin’s role is restricted solely to acting as a limited payment collection agent for the Service Provider to facilitate payment on behalf of the Service Provider through the Platform in respect of any service they perform such as an Outing. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for particular service on the Platform, Origin disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of a Service Provider, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Service Provider, either within or outside of the Platform.  IF YOU WANT TO REQUEST A REFUND OR A CANCELLATION FOR AN OUTING, YOU MUST CHECK THE TERMS OF YOUR OUTING AGREEMENT AND REQUEST THE REFUND OR CANCELLATION FROM THE SERVICE PROVIDER.  ORIGIN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND IS NOT OBLIGATED, TO PROVIDE ANY REFUNDS.

ORIGIN DOES NOT PERFORM OUTINGS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM OUTINGS. CLIENT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ORIGIN DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A SERVICE PROVIDER’S WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE OUTINGS IN ANY MATTER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION OR CODE. 

1. Billing and Payment. 
   1. Payment Details.  Service Providers are responsible for setting prices and availability for Outings through the Platform which will be used by You to select and confirm the Outing (a “Confirmation”). You are responsible for paying the fees described in any Confirmation for each Outing which will be collected and processed by a third party payment processor.  You agree to the terms provided by our payment processor and authorize Origin to send instructions to the financial institution that issued Your card to take payments from Your card account in accordance with the terms of Your agreement us.  Fees include (i) the pricing terms for the Outing agreed and provided by a Service Provider and (ii) our service fees and any cancellation fees, if applicable (collectively, “Outing Payment”).  Outing Payments and fees must be paid through the Platform as indicated on the Platform. At the time that You book an Outing, You authorize Origin or a third party payment processor on its behalf, to (a) obtain a pre-authorization via Your payment method for the total fees or (b) charge Your payment method a nominal amount, not to exceed one US dollar ($1) and to later charge You the full amounts for the Outing Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Service Provider may require different payment terms than those set forth above and/or require that You pay an initial deposit that will be applied towards the Outing Payment. The payment details You provide for processing the initial deposit (or for making other payments to us or the Service Provider) will be retained by our third party payment processor and will be used to automatically charge Your payment method for the remaining balance of the Outing Payment at such time as determined by the Service Provider in its sole discretion.
   2. Confirmation; Procedure. When You or Service Provider receives confirmation through the Platform or via email that an Outing has been accepted or booked, You automatically authorize the third party payment provider to process the fees as described in any Confirmation. You may be charged a cancellation fee if an Outing is booked (or accepted) but cancelled before the scheduled time for performance. Origin reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, upon request from a You, or upon notice of any fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Platform, to (i) place a hold on any Outing Payment, or (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the third party payment provider to do so. 
   3. Other Costs; Insurance. All payments and fees, including Outing Payments are exclusive of any transportation, materials, entry, insurance or other fees and all such costs shall be additional at the expense of You or Service Provider, as the case may be. At the expense and discretion of You or Service Provider, the parties may individually or together procure and maintain insurance coverage for Outings. This section shall not be construed in any manner as restricting or limiting the liability of either party for any obligations imposed under this Agreement (including but not limited to, any provisions requiring a party to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Origin under this Agreement). 
   4. Cancellations.  The Service Provider’s cancellation policy will apply to any cancellation. Your ability to receive a refund for the fees and other amounts charged to You will depend upon the terms of the Service Provider’s cancellation policy and, in some cases, no refund may be issued. Except as provided herein, the fees are non-refundable. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies of the Service Provider are available in the listing for the Outing, the Outing Agreement or from the Service Provider. If a Service Provider cancels a confirmed Outing made via the Service, it is at the Service Provider’s discretion and the Service Provider’s responsibility to issue a refund of the fees for such Outing within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation.

Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Origin support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

BINDING ARBITRATION: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or Your use of the Platform or the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, You must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages You seek to recover (You may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com ); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Origin at Attn: Legal; hello@exploreorigin.com.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Origin will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Origin will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for Your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If You are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where You reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Colorado, United States of America, and You and Origin agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Boulder County, Colorado in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND Origin AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

30-DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address You use on Origin) written notice of Your decision to opt out to Origin —Attn: Legal; hello@exploreorigin.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of Your first use of the Services; otherwise, You shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If You opt out of these arbitration provisions, Origin will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section: Origin will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Platform, sending You a message, or otherwise notifying You when You are logged into Your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Platform or sent to You.

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after You began using the Services.

Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of Your account or cessation of use of the Platform, Service or the Products.
