Doordash: End User & Contractor Agreement

Contractor Opt out provision:

14.15. Contractor’s Right to Opt Out of Mutual Arbitration Provision. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of Contractor’s contractual relationship with DoorDash, and therefore each new Contractor may submit a statement notifying DoorDash that Contractor wishes to opt out and not be subject to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. If you are an existing Contractor and have agreed to a prior version of this Agreement with DoorDash without opting out of the Mutual Arbitration Provision contained therein, you do not have an opportunity to opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision. If you are an existing Contractor and have validly opted out of the Mutual Arbitration Provision in a prior version of the Agreement, that opt out will not be effective for disputes arising under this Agreement; if you want to opt out of arbitration for claims arising under this Agreement, you must submit a new opt out to DoorDash. In order to opt out, a new Contractor (or an existing Contractor that validly opted out of arbitration in a prior version of the Agreement) must notify DoorDash in writing of Contractor's intention to opt out by sending a letter, by First Class Mail, to General Counsel, 303 2nd Street, South Tower, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA 94107. Any attempt to opt out by email will be ineffective. The letter must state Contractor's intention to opt out. In order to be effective, Contractor's opt-out letter must be postmarked within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement. The letter must be signed by Contractor themselves, and not by any agent or representative of Contractor. The letter may opt out, at most, only one Contractor, and letters that purport to opt out multiple Contractors will not be effective as to any. No Contractor (or their agent or representative) may effectuate an opt out on behalf of other Contractors. If Contractor opts out as provided in this paragraph, Contractor will not be subject to any adverse action from DoorDash as a consequence of that decision and they may pursue available legal remedies without regard to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. If Contractor does not opt out within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement, Contractor and DoorDash shall be deemed to have agreed to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Contractor has the right to consult with counsel of Contractor's choice concerning this Mutual Arbitration Provision (or any other provision of this Agreement).

14.16. Except as specified in the prior paragraph, this Mutual Arbitration Provision supersedes any and all prior arbitration agreements between Contractor and DoorDash and is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. In the event any portion of this Mutual Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will be enforceable. The award issued by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
