WHAT IF I HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ANOTHER MEMBER?

If you have used the Site in accordance with the SHOW CREW NETWORK Terms of Service and you have a dispute with another User ("Opposing Party"), the Dispute Resolution Process consists of three phases subject to limitation based on the type and status of Job in dispute:
1. Member Resolution
2. SHOW CREW NETWORK Dispute Assistance
3. Arbitration
Notice of Disputes Resolved.
Any agreement resolving the dispute between you and the Opposing Party must be posted (and confirmed by both parties) as text o to allow SHOW CREW NETWORK to maintain a record of the disposition of the matter.
Key Dates
For all disputes regardless of type and status of a Job in dispute, you must be aware of the following three key dates in any dispute:
"Breach Date" means the later of (1) the date on which the events causing the breach of your agreement with the other
User first took place, and (2) the date on which you learned, or reasonably should have learned, about those events.
"Dispute Initiation Date" "Limitations Date" means the date seven days following the conclusion of the job. You do not have a right to initiate a claim or cause of action or demand arbitration after the Limitations Date.
Dispute Resolution System is the apparatus by which a Company freezes a payment due to a Crew Member and informs the Site Administrator and the Crew Member of their dispute. If the Crew Member does not respond to the dispute within 7 days the Company will be issued a refund less the 3.9% Escrow Transaction Fee or a full credit.
Arbitration.
If the dispute is not settled within 15 days after the Initiation Date, you agree that if either (a) there are funds in the Escrow Account or (b) it has been less than 30 days since the Release of Escrow Funds for the completion of a job, then you and the Opposing Party (the "Dispute Parties") each has the right for 30 days following the Release of Escrow Funds for any Job, to demand binding, non-appearance-based arbitration to resolve the dispute ("Arbitration"). Any such Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral third-party dispute resolution service that SHOW CREW NETWORK will choose and engage in its sole discretion ("Arbitrator"). If the Opposing Party demands Arbitration in accordance with the foregoing, you agree to submit to such Arbitration in accordance with the SHOW CREW NETWORK Terms of Service. If the amount in dispute is less than $600, the Arbitrator must be a single arbitrator unless both parties request a panel of Arbitrators. If the amount in dispute is $600 or more, the Arbitrator must be a panel unless both parties request a single Arbitrator. You agree that in any such Arbitration: (a) each Dispute Party and SHOW CREW NETWORK will pay one-third of the first $600 of the Arbitrator's fees; (b) each Dispute Party will pay one-half of any amount by which the Arbitrator's fees exceed $600; and (c) each Dispute Party will solely bear and pay any other costs it incurs related to the Arbitration. You hereby agree that SHOW CREW NETWORK will charge your Account, or your credit card, bank account, or PayPal for the amount of the Arbitrator's fees owed by you in accordance with the foregoing. If Crew Member or Company requests binding Arbitration ("Requesting Party"), the other party ("Responding Party") has three business days following receipt of notice from the Arbitrator to submit to such Arbitration. If Responding Party fails to submit to such Arbitration within three business days, SHOW CREW NETWORK will promptly notify Responding Party of such failure and demand that Responding Party submit to such Arbitration within three more business days. If Responding Party fails to submit within three business days after SHOW CREW NETWORK sends such notice, then: (1) Responding Party will be deemed to have agreed to the Release sought by the Requesting Party; (2) if the dispute involves funds held in Escrow, Responding Party will be deemed to have authorized SHOW CREW NETWORK to, and SHOW CREW NETWORK will, make the Release sought by the Requesting Party; and (3) SHOW CREW NETWORK has the right to terminate or suspend the Responding Party's Account.
Failure to Arbitrate.

If Crew Member or Company requests binding Arbitration (“Requesting Party”), the other party (“Responding Party”) has three business days following receipt of notice from the Arbitrator to submit to such Arbitration. If Responding Party fails to submit to such Arbitration within three business days, SHOW CREW NETWORK will promptly notify Responding Party of such failure and demand that Responding Party submit to such Arbitration within three more business days. If Responding Party fails to submit within three business days after SHOW CREW NETWORK sends such notice, then: (1) Responding Party will be deemed to have agreed to the Release sought by the Requesting Party; (2) Responding Party will be deemed to have authorized SHOW CREW NETWORK to, and SHOW CREW NETWORK will, make the Release sought by the Requesting Party; and (3) SHOW CREW NETWORK has the right to terminate or suspend the Responding Party’s Account. If both Crew Member and Company fail to request binding Arbitration for an unresolved dispute by the Limitations Date in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Process, then Crew Member will be deemed to have instructed SHOW CREW NETWORK, and SHOW CREW NETWORK will, make a Release to the Company. In that case, SHOW CREW NETWORK will deduct an escrow fee of 3.9% of the amount of the Release, whichever is greater, to recover any banking, payment processing, and administrative costs and other costs of receiving and holding funds.
Reminders and Statute of Limitation.
SHOW CREW NETWORK will send periodic reminders to you and the Opposing Party (the "Dispute Parties") to remind you of the ongoing dispute and the need to resolve it prior to the Limitations Date. If the dispute has not been resolved and neither Dispute Party has demanded Arbitration by the Limitations Date, then (1) Crew Member will be deemed to have agreed to the Release sought by the Company; (2) if the dispute involves funds held in Escrow, Crew Member will be deemed to have authorized SHOW CREW NETWORK to, and SHOW CREW NETWORK will, make the Release sought by the Company; (3) SHOW CREW NETWORK has the right to terminate or suspend either or both the Crew Member's and the Company's Account; and (4) any further claims or causes of action in such dispute will be forever barred. The Arbitrator has the power to determine whether the Breach Date entered into SHOW CREW NETWORK's system is correct or if the Limitations Date should be extended or "tolled" due to your reasonable reliance on the Opposing Party's assurances that it would cure the breach.
Release of Escrowed Funds.
If the Job in dispute involved Escrow and the Limitations Date has passed (based on the Breach Date in the SHOW CREW NETWORK System): (1) SHOW CREW NETWORK will send the Dispute Parties notice of its intent to release the funds, and (2) unless you give SHOW CREW NETWORK notice, within 10 days after SHOW CREW NETWORK's notice is sent, that you have claimed in the Arbitration that the Limitation Date has been "tolled" and that your claims are not barred, then: (3) Crew Member will be deemed to have agreed to the Release sought by the Company; (4) if the dispute involves funds held in Escrow, Crew Member will be deemed to have authorized SHOW CREW NETWORK to, and SHOW CREW NETWORK will release such funds. In that case, SHOW CREW NETWORK will deduct an escrow fee of 3.9% of the amount of the Release, whichever is greater, to recover any banking, payment processing, and administrative costs and other costs of receiving and holding funds.
Arbitration Rules.
The sole and exclusive evidence admissible in the Arbitration is the contents of the Messaging and Dispute Resolution System. SHOW CREW NETWORK will provide to the Arbitrator access to information in the Messaging and Dispute Resolution System for the dispute. You agree to be responsible for ensuring that the Messaging and Dispute Resolution System contains all of your communications with the Opposing Party related to the dispute. The Dispute Parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the Arbitrator will specify whether the Arbitration will be conducted online, by telephone, or solely based on written submissions posted in the Messaging and Dispute Resolution System; (b) the Arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the Dispute Parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Dispute Parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Before the Arbitrator renders its decision in the dispute, each of the Dispute Parties will be allowed to upload to the Messaging and Dispute Resolution System one last closing statement or argument for the Arbitrator related to the dispute.
Arbitration Award.
Once there is an arbitration award, you must send an email to SHOW CREW NETWORK with the case identification information, the usernames of the Dispute Parties and the name of the Job. SHOW CREW NETWORK will then verify the award with Arbitrator.
Noncompliance and Abuse Improperly Filed Claims.
All claims between you and the Opposing Party must be resolved in accordance with the terms on this page. All claims filed or brought contrary to these terms shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to these terms, the Opposing Party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $2,000, provided that the Opposing Party has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you fail to promptly withdraw the claim.
Abuse.
If you initiate an excessive number of Arbitrations, SHOW CREW NETWORK reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Account immediately upon giving notice to you. However, any disputes for any Jobs that existed prior to termination will be subject to the SHOW CREW NETWORK Terms of Service.
