This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between you, the undersigned contractor (the “Contractor”), an independent contractor engaged in the business of performing the services contemplated by this Agreement, and SA Franchises LLC. (“SA Franchises LLC” or the “Company”). This Agreement becomes effective on the date that you execute it regardless of whether you are eligible to, or ever do, perform any Contracted Services.

PLEASE REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE REVIEW THE MUTUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION XII, AS IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTION XI, AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME AND SOUGHT ANY ASSISTANCE NEEDED TO COMPREHEND THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT.

THE PARTIES

SA Franchises LLC (DBA: Bunny Chow - South African Food) or the ”Company” is a legally formed California registered limited liability corporation as of September 01, 2022, that has a full health department permit, business license and a retail business license to conduct business in the food industry in the County of San Diego and the City of San Diego and surrounding areas. The company is considered a food manufacturer, restaurant, caterer, pop-up and vendor that provides prepared, unprepared and frozen food.

The Contractor is an independent provider of their services and authorized to conduct those services outlined by this Agreement. The Contractor possesses all necessary equipment to conduct their contract as contemplated by this Agreement and in accordance with applicable laws and/or can use the equipment provided by the Company. The Contractor desires to enter into this Agreement for the right to receive daily contractual work through SA Franchises LLC. The Contractor understands and expressly agrees that he or she is not an employee of SA Franchises LLC or any restaurant, caterer, pop-up, vendor or other business or consumer and that he or she is providing the services on behalf of himself or herself, not on behalf of SA Franchises LLC. The Contractor understands that (i) he or she is free to select those times that he or she wishes to be available to perform his or her contracted services; (ii) he or she is free to accept or reject any service opportunities and/or contract from SA Franchises LLC, and can make such decisions to maximize his or her opportunity to make the services fees; and (iii) he or she has the sole right to control the manner in which the services are performed and the means by which those services are completed as long as they meet the specifications as outlined by their contract.

In consideration of the above, as well as the mutual promises described herein, SA Franchises LLC and the Contractor (collectively, "the Parties") agree as follows:

I. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT

1. This Agreement governs the relationship between SA Franchises LLC and the Contractor and establishes the Parties' respective rights and obligations. In exchange for the promises contained in this Agreement, the Contractor shall have the right and obligation to perform the “Contracted Services” as defined herein. However, nothing in this Agreement requires the Contractor to perform any particular volume of Contracted Services during the term of this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement shall guarantee the Contractor any particular volume of business for any particular time period.

2. The Contractor shall have no obligation to accept or perform any particular “Service Opportunity” (as that term is defined herein) offered by SA Franchises LLC. However, once a Service Opportunity is accepted, the Contractor shall be contractually bound to complete the Contracted Services in accordance with all contractual specifications and the terms laid out in this Agreement.

II. CONTRACTOR'S OPERATIONS

1. The Contractor represents that he or she operates an independently established enterprise that provides services, and that he or she satisfies all legal requirements necessary to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement.

3. The Contractor retains the right to perform services for others and to hold him or herself out to the general public as a separately established business. The Parties recognize that they are or may be engaged in similar arrangements with others and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Contractor or SA Franchises LLC from doing business with others. SA Franchises LLC does not have the right to restrict the Contractor from performing services for other businesses, customers or consumers at any time, even if such business directly competes with SA Franchises LLC, and even during the time that the Contractor is in contract with SA Franchises LLC. The Contractor’s right to compete with SA Franchises LLC or perform services for business that compete with SA Franchises LLC is not limited or hindered in any way by this Agreement.

4. The Contractor is not required to purchase, lease, or rent any products, equipment, or services from SA Franchises LLC as a condition of doing business with SA Franchises LLC or entering into this Agreement. The Contractor understands that he or she is expected to wear an SA Franchises LLC clothing when completing a Contracted Service for the purpose of identification to the Company as well as the consumer. The Contractor understands that SA Franchises LLC will provide the clothing and/or aprons as necessary.

For each Service Opportunity accepted by the Contractor (“Contracted Service”), the Contractor agrees to retrieve the requirements for the service from SA Franchises LLC and fulfilled the contract in a safe and timely fashion meeting the quality and standards of the contract (“Service Opportunity”). The Contractor understands and agrees that the parameters of each Contracted Service are established by SA Franchises LLC and represent the end result desired, not the means by which the Contractor is to accomplish the result.

5. The Contractor authorizes SA Franchises LLC during the course of a Contracted Service, to communicate with the Contractor to assist the Contractor, to the extent permitted by the Contractor, in facilitating the completion of the services.

If the contractor is unable to perform the services required within a particular contract that they have agreed to, then they have the authority to contact other SA Franchises LLC authorized contractors to fulfill / perform the required services within their agreed upon contract without any penalties and it will not be counted as a Service Failure.

V. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

1. Unless notified otherwise by SA Franchises LLC in writing or except as provided herein, the Contractor will receive payment per accurate Contracted Service completed in an amount consistent with the contract. From time to time, SA Franchises LLC may offer opportunities for the Contractor to earn more money for performing Contracted Services at specified times or in specified locations.

Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement or the AAA Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Arbitration Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class, collective and/or representative action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Arbitration Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement or the AAA Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Arbitration Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. All other disputes with respect to whether this Mutual Arbitration Provision is unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court.

3.

8. Except as provided in the Arbitration Class Action Waiver, the Arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable.

9. The Arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions.

10. The Arbitrator's decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law.

The Arbitrator may exclude any non-party from any part of the hearing.

12. Nothing in this Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents the Contractor from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Nothing in this Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision.

Nothing in this Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents or excuses a party from satisfying any conditions precedent and/or exhausting administrative remedies under applicable law before bringing a claim in arbitration. SA Franchises LLC will not retaliate against the Contractor for filing a claim with an administrative agency or for exercising rights (individually or in concert with others) under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. Disputes between the Parties that may not be subject to predispute arbitration agreement, including as provided by an Act of Congress or lawful, enforceable Executive Order, are excluded from the coverage of this Mutual Arbitration Provision.

13. This Mutual Arbitration Provision is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision.

XIII. LITIGATION CLASS ACTION WAIVER

1. To the extent allowed by applicable law, separate and apart from the Mutual Arbitration Provision found in Section XI, the Contractor agrees that any proceeding to litigate in court any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether because the Contractor opted out of the Arbitration Provision or any other reason, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and the Contractor agrees not to seek to have any controversy, claim or dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which the Contractor acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity (“Litigation Class Action Waiver”). The Contractor further agrees that no proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding, without the prior written consent of all parties to any such proceeding.
