How Jemmworks and JemmVouchers Work

Jemmworks’ mission is to help every employee lead a happy, healthy, and well-rounded life. We partner with employers who share that vision, and who want to provide their employees access to a wide range of classes, activities, industry talks, charities, self-improvement apps, and other products and services designed to improve each employee’s quality of life and ability to grow both personally and professionally.

We accomplish the above by promoting and selling vouchers known as JemmVouchers (“JemmVouchers”) on behalf of local merchants and businesses (“Merchants”) via the Jemmworks Platform. Each JemmVoucher represents a specific service or product being sold by the Merchant (the “Merchant Offering”). Each registered user of Jemmworks (a “Jemmworks User”) has the ability to purchase JemmVouchers using jemms (“jemms”), which is the currency used on the Jemmworks Platform. JemmVouchers may only be purchased on the Jemmworks Platform.

On the first day of each calendar month, each Jemmworks User is provided a monthly budget of jemms which can be spent on JemmVouchers during that calendar month. Jemm budgets typically range from 20 to 60 jemms per month, depending on the price plan selected by the employer of the Jemmworks User (“Employer”). For more information on employer price plans, please visit the Jemmworks website.

The actual monetary value of a jemm is $5.00. All jemms are paid for by the Employer of the Jemmworks User prior to the beginning each calendar month. Unused jemms automatically carry over to the next month.

Certain Merchant Offerings, including but not limited to the availability and price of such Merchant Offerings, may change at any time in Jemmworks’ sole discretion, without notice.

Ownership of Jemmworks Platform

The Jemmworks Platform, and the infrastructure used to provide the Jemmworks Platform, are proprietary to us. By using the Jemmworks Platform and accepting these Terms of Use: (a) Jemmworks grants you a limited, personal, nontransferable, nonexclusive, revocable license to use the Jemmworks Platform pursuant to these Terms of Use and to any additional terms and policies set forth by Jemmworks; and (b) you agree not to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, license, sell, or re-sell any content, software, products, or services obtained from or through the Jemmworks Platform without the express permission of Jemmworks.

As a condition of your use of the Jemmworks Platform, you agree that:

  • You have reached the age of majority in the state in which you reside;
  • You are able to create a binding legal obligation;
  • You are not barred from receiving products or services under applicable law;
  • You will not attempt to use the Jemmworks Platform with crawlers, robots, data mining, or extraction tools or any other functionality;
  • Your use of the Jemmworks Platform will at all times comply with these Terms of Use;

Your Jemmworks account is personal to you and non-transferrable. You cannot sell, combine, or otherwise share it with any other person. Any violation of these Terms of Use, including, without limitation, failure to maintain updated and correct information about your account, will cause your account to fall out of good standing and we may cancel your account in our sole discretion. Further, your Jemmworks account may be cancelled by your Employer at any time, for any reason, in your Employer’s sole discretion.

If your Jemmworks account is cancelled by Jemmworks for any reason, you may forfeit any pending, current, or future jemms in your account, and any other forms of unredeemed value in your account without notice.

If you resign or are terminated by your Employer, your existing Jemmworks account will be immediately disabled and you will no longer be able to log in. However, the jemms you have accumulated to that date will not be lost. The balance of jemms in your account will be transferred to a new, personal Jemmworks account (not affiliated with your former Employer). You will be able to access your personal Jemmworks account, and spend your remaining jemms, for a period of up to six (6) months. After six months, your personal account will be shut down, and any jemms still remaining in your account will be forfeited.

Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms of Use that are, by their nature, intended to survive termination (e.g., any disclaimers, all limitations of liability, and all indemnities) shall survive.

The Internal Revenue Service considers most of the Merchant Offerings available on the Jemmworks Platform to be “fringe benefits”. As such, your Employer is required to add the value of Merchant Offerings to the Jemmworks’ User’s W-2 Form, 1099 Form, or other similar form, where it will be considered additional income, and taxed in accordance with applicable local, state and federal tax codes. If you believe that a specific Merchant Offering should not be taxable as income, please discuss with your employer.

Employer Fees/Payment Terms

Jemmworks offers to Employers monthly payment plans which grant use of the Jemmworks Platform to Jemmworks Users employed by the Employer, subject to these Terms of Use and an employer agreement signed by the Employer (the “Jemmworks Services”). Payment plans are described on the main Jemmworks website, and include (i) a monthly user fee for each Jemmworks User employed by the Employer (“User Fee”), (ii) the total cost of jemms provided to Jemmworks Users employed by Employer (“Jemm Fee”), and (iii) miscellaneous expenses incurred by the Employer and/or employees of the Employer (“Miscellaneous Fees”). The User Fee, Jemm Fee, and Miscellaneous Fees are herein referred to collectively as “Employer Fees”.

Jemmworks provides the Services to Employers on an as-used basis. For a given calendar month, Employers only pay Employer Fees for Jemmworks Users employed by the Employer who are listed on the Jemmworks Platform as of the first day of such calendar month.

The license for any Jemmworks User and/or Employer to use and access any Jemmworks Services is expressly conditioned upon full payment, in advance, of the Employer Fees.

Amount of Employer Fees, including any changes to the Employer Fees, may be established and communicated by Jemmworks via e-mail, a posting on the Jemmworks Platform (such as on the website or on the employer dashboard), a notice posted inside or delivered to you via the Jemmworks Platform, or as otherwise agreed by written agreement by Employer and Jemmworks. Jemmworks has the right to change, delete, discontinue or impose conditions on the Jemmworks Services or any feature or aspect of the Jemmworks Services, at any time, including the Employer Fees associated with such Jemmworks Services. Notice of any change in the Employer Fees shall be communicated to Employer in the manner described above, and you agree to periodically review Jemmworks pricing and policies in order to stay informed. Your continued use of any Jemworks Services affected by a change in Employer Fees will constitute your agreement to such changes and authorization for Jemmworks to collect any such Employer Fees on a going forward basis. Any change in Employer Fees and other charges will not be applicable until the billing period or renewal period in which the change of Employer Fees occurs.

Access to certain Jemmworks Services may be permitted to Employer and the Jemmworks Users employed by Employer, for a free trial period (the “Free Trial Period”). Upon the expiration of the Free Trial Period, your license to use the Jemmworks Services will terminate until the Employer has paid all required Employer Fees.

All Employer Fees are exclusive of any and all taxes, levies or duties imposed by the taxing authorities, and Employer acknowledges and agrees that Employer is responsible for all taxes applicable to the Employer Fees, Jemmworks Services or any related charges in any applicable jurisdictions.

Employer Fees may be paid by AcH transfer or other form of payment that Jemmworks communicates in writing as being acceptable. If you link a debit card, credit card, or bank account to your Jemmworks account, you hereby authorize Jemmworks to collect all Employer Fees by debit from the debit card, credit card, or bank account, without further authorization, including any charges or fees incurred as a result of Employer’s chosen payment method. For the sake of clarity, Jemmworks reserves the right to collect Employer Fees from any balance in Employer’s Jemmworks account or from Employer’s linked bank account.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms of Use may evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration Clause below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Los Angeles County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration Clause is found to be unenforceable or otherwise permits the parties to litigate in court.

Arbitration/Dispute Resolution

Please read the provisions in this section (collectively, the “Arbitration Clause”) carefully as they are an agreement that relates to dispute resolution via arbitration. It is part of your contract with Jemmworks and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms of Use, or the use of any product or service provided by Jemmworks that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Clause. This Arbitration Clause applies to you and Jemmworks, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided by Jemmworks.

Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Jemmworks should be sent to the Jemmworks address set forth below. After the Notice is received, you and Jemmworks may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Jemmworks do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms of Use. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in Los Angeles County, California. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Jemmworks, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms of Use. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Jemmworks.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Clause. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Jemmworks in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND JEMMWORKS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Jemmworks may bring an individual action in small claims court in Los Angeles County, California.

No Class Action Matter

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE PROVISIONS.
