SECTION 5 NOTICES.
You may contact Eye Blink by writing to the address listed below:
1821 University Avenue #1175
Saint Paul, MN 55104
SECTION 6 MANDATORY ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
This Release is governed by, and must be construed and enforced in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Minnesota, excluding principles of conflicts of laws.
You agree that any dispute or Claim relating in any way to Your provision of the Services
will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act
and federal arbitration law apply to this Release.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is
limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and
relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and
must follow the terms of this Release as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, You must send a letter requesting arbitration and
describing Your claim to Eye Blink Transportation, LLC at 1821 University Avenue
#1175 Saint Paul, MN 55104. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS in accordance
with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules in effect at the time the
arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class
actions. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by
JAMS's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on
written submissions, or in person in the county where You live or at another mutually
agreed location.
YOU AND EYE BLINK EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT
IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a
Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration You and Eye Blink each waive any
right to a jury trial.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver
provisions set forth above by sending written notice of Your decision to opt out to
savelink2020transportation@gmail.com with the subject line, “EYE BLINK
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, Eye Blink also will not be bound by them.
This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your
Account or the Platform.
In the event that the arbitration provisions above are found not to apply to You or to a
particular claim or dispute, either as a result of Your decision to opt out of the
arbitration provisions or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, You
agree that any Claim or dispute must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court
located in Minnesota. You and Eye Blink agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of
the courts located within Ramsey County, Minnesota for the purpose of litigating all
such claims or disputes.
Further, if Eye Blink prevails in litigation against You to enforce its rights under this
Release, Eye Blink shall be entitled to its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees
(whether incurred at or in preparation for trial, appeal, or otherwise) incurred in
resolving or settling the dispute, in addition to all other damages or awards to which
Eye Blink may be entitled.
SECTION 7 WAIVERS.
No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Release is a waiver of any other breach
or of any other provision of this Release. The terms of this Release may be waived or
amended only in writing and only by the party that is entitled to the benefits of the term
being waived or amended.

acknowledged, You do hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and irrevocably: (1) give Your full
and unconditional consent to Eye Blink, the Released Persons, and their respective

component thereof, and all related merchandising, promotions, advertising, and
publicity; and (3) waive, release, and discharge all Released Persons from all Claims that
You have or may have for any libel, defamation, invasion of privacy, right of publicity,
infringement of copyright, or violation of any right granted by You in this paragraph. SECTION 8 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.

nonexclusive, and resort to one does not preclude the availability or applicability of
another or to any other right, remedy or defense provided by law.

the parties with respect to Liability Waiver, Release, Indemnification, and Voluntary
