NOTICE: TEXAS 40 TAC § 815.134 COMPLIANT

THIS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into by and between getrobur LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("ROBUR", the "Company", or "Platform Operator"), and the individual or business entity who electronically accepts this Agreement ("Earner" or "Contractor").

1. NATURE OF THE PLATFORM RELATIONSHIP ROBUR operates an automated technology, matching, transaction-recording, and communications platform (the "Platform"). The Platform enables commercial businesses ("Mission Buyers") seeking immediate, discrete operational help ("Missions") to connect with independent third-party service professionals ("Earners"). ROBUR IS A TECHNOLOGY DISPATCH PLATFORM PROVIDER. ROBUR IS NOT AN EMPLOYER, STAFFING AGENCY, EMPLOYMENT AGENCY, TEMPORARY-HELP SERVICE, LABOR CONTRACTOR, PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER ORGANIZATION (PEO), OR LABOR DISPATCHER. ROBUR DOES NOT EMPLOY EARNERS, DOES NOT SUPERVISE MISSIONS, AND DOES NOT DIRECT OR CONTROL THE MANNER, MEANS, DETAILS, OR SEQUENCE OF AN EARNER'S WORK.

2. TEXAS SAFE HARBOR & INDEPENDENT CLASSIFICATION (40 TAC § 815.134) Pursuant to 40 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) § 815.134 and the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act: (a) Earner is compensated exclusively on a per-transaction (per-Mission) basis; (b) ROBUR does not prescribe, dictate, or unilaterally schedule Earner's hours or availability; (c) Earner retains the absolute right to use competing technology marketplaces and provide services directly to third parties without restriction or exclusivity; (d) Earner is not restricted from pursuing any other trade, business, or occupation; (e) Earner controls the time and location of accepting Missions; (f) Earner bears their own ordinary business and traveling expenses; (g) Earner provides all necessary personal tools and customary equipment; (h) ROBUR does not control the details, sequence, or methods of performance; and (i) ROBUR does not require mandatory training or operational employee-style meetings.

3. WORKERS' COMPENSATION NON-COVERAGE & ACCIDENT COVERAGE 3.1. Texas Labor Code Notice: Earner acknowledges that getrobur LLC is a non-subscriber to the Texas Workers' Compensation Act (Texas Labor Code § 406.002). Earner is an independent contractor and is not covered by statutory workers' compensation insurance provided by ROBUR or Mission Buyers. 3.2. No Platform Accident Coverage: ROBUR does not currently sponsor, fund, or maintain occupational accident, health, disability, or workers' compensation insurance for Earners. Earner is solely responsible for obtaining any insurance Earner considers appropriate. If ROBUR later makes accident coverage available, it will be offered through a separate written notice identifying the carrier, policy terms, and limits, and no charge for it will ever be deducted from an Earner's payout.

4. THIRD-PARTY TRANSIT & MOBILITY DISCLAIMER (UBER / FLEET API) Where an automated transit voucher (e.g., via Uber API or third-party fleet partner) is unlocked for Earner's transit to a Mission: (a) Earner acknowledges that transit services are provided strictly by independent, licensed Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) or commercial drivers, not by ROBUR. (b) ROBUR exercises zero physical control over vehicle operation, routes, road conditions, or vehicular safety. (c) ROBUR DISCLAIMS ALL VICARIOUS LIABILITY FOR BODILY INJURY, VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS, DELAYS, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURRING DURING TRANSIT. Earner's recourse for transit incidents lies exclusively against the operating motor carrier's statutory commercial automobile policy.

5. HEAVY MACHINERY & FORKLIFT CERTIFICATION COVENANT If Earner accepts a Mission involving Forklift Operation or Powered Industrial Trucks: (a) Earner affirmatively warrants possession of a valid, OSHA-compliant certification (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178) applicable to the specific equipment type. (b) Earner must present physical or digital evidence of certification to the Mission Buyer's site supervisor before operating equipment. (c) Earner agrees never to operate machinery that is uninspected, defective, or outside their certified operational classification.

6. PAYMENTS & ZERO-DEDUCTION GUARANTEE Earner receives one hundred percent (100%) of the posted Mission payout upon milestone completion and verification. Payments are processed via Stripe Connect (Separate Charges & Transfers). ROBUR does not hold funds directly in escrow. Payout availability (including push-to-debit) is subject to banking network rules and processor fraud controls.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY (STATUTORY TEXAS CARVE-OUTS) 7.1. Aggregate Liability Cap: Except as provided in Section 7.2, ROBUR's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement or Platform access shall not exceed the greater of: (i) total transaction access fees retained by ROBUR attributable to Missions performed by Earner during the preceding twelve (12) months, or (ii) one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000.00). 7.2. Texas Statutory Carve-Outs: THE LIMITATIONS IN SECTION 7.1 SHALL NOT APPLY TO: (A) CLAIMS ARISING DIRECTLY FROM ROBUR'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; (B) LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER CHAPTER 503 OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE (CUBI); OR (C) ANY OTHER STATUTORY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

8. MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION & DELEGATION CLAUSE 8.1. Arbitrability & Delegation: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Platform use, worker classification, or arbitrability shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or JAMS, in Dallas County, Texas. 8.2. DELEGATION CLAUSE: THE ARBITRATOR, AND NOT ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL COURT OR AGENCY, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY, UNCONSCIONABILITY, OR FORMATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM THAT ALL OR ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT IS VOID OR VOIDABLE. 8.3. CLASS ACTION WAIVER: ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR MASS PROCEEDING.
