You further acknowledge that You have read, understood, and voluntarily agreed to all of the terms in this Agreement.
In consideration of the mutual promises in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, You and Airwork agree as follows:

9. “Services” means the work product and/or services provided by an Airworker to a Partner pursuant to a Booked Shift.
2. Purpose 1. This Agreement governs the entire relationship between the Parties and establishes their respective rights and obligations arising out of this relationship, including Your access to the Platform and/or use of the Airwork Application, which facilitates your provision of Services to Partners in response to Shift Requests.
2. The Parties intend this Agreement to create the relationship of independently contracting parties and not that of employer and employee, joint venture, partners, or principal and agent; neither Party shall have the right to bind the other in contract (or otherwise) except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
3. Nothing in this Agreement requires You to accept any Open Shift Request, and nothing in this Agreement shall guarantee You any particular volume of Shift Requests for any particular time period.
4. This Agreement expressly supersedes prior agreements with You. Airwork reserves the right to amend, modify, and/or supplement from time to time and without notice any terms in this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement.3. The Airwork Platform
1. Airwork is in the business of developing, maintaining, and distributing the software and logistics necessary to provide and support the Application and Platform.
2. Airwork acts as a referral source enabling Partners and Airworkers to connect with each other for Services; it does not provide workers (whether independent contractors or otherwise) to Partners or other third parties.
3. As a condition to use the Application and access the Platform, You acknowledge and accept Airwork’s
Terms Of Use and
Privacy Policy, which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. Airwork reserves the right at any time and with or without notice to modify and/or supplement external documents and policies referenced and incorporated into this Agreement (or the location where such documents and policies may be found). Such modifications and/or supplements shall become effective upon posting, and your continued use of the Application or Platform shall constitute Your consent to any such modification and/or supplement. In the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and a term of an External Policy, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
4. Your Operations
1. You represent that You operate an independently established business providing the Services contemplated by this Agreement and satisfy all legal requirements, including having any licenses and/or permits necessary to perform any Services under this Agreement. You further agree to inform Airwork immediately in writing if You are no longer operating an independent business to provide Services under this Agreement.

Except as otherwise required by law, You assume all risk of damage or loss to Your Equipment.
4. You are not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that Airwork, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or other related entities may make available to its employees.

You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under Your Account.
6. You are free to select the time(s) you wish to access the Platform, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and You are free to accept, reject, or ignore any particular Open Shift Request made available to You on the Platform and/or through the Application.
7. You agree to perform any Services contracted pursuant to this Agreement in a timely, safe, and lawful manner, and the Parties acknowledge that Airwork has no right to and shall not direct or control the manner and means by which You provide Services pursuant to a Shift Request.

4. In the event of a Service Failure, You agree that You may forfeit all or a portion of the payment as described in this Section (depending on the extent to which the Service Failure results from Your act or omission).
