This provision waives users' ability to bring or participate in class, collective, or representative actions against Lime, requiring all claims to proceed on an individual basis through arbitration.

This clause establishes that disputes must be pursued individually, meaning users cannot aggregate claims with other users or utilize the PAGA representative action mechanism (to the extent permitted by applicable law) in the arbitration forum. A partial severability mechanism applies if a court finds any portion of the waiver unenforceable.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the class action waiver as applied to PAGA representative actions in California depends on ongoing judicial interpretation following Viking River Cruises v. Moriana and subsequent state court decisions.
Under this clause, users agree not to participate in class or collective lawsuits or arbitrations against Lime. The agreement requires each user to individually pursue any claim, which may affect the practical economics of pursuing smaller-value disputes.
How other platforms handle this
If, however, this Class Action Waiver is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular Dispute...neither you nor Chegg will be entitled to arbitration of such Dispute.
the arbitration provider, National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM"), shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration and shall administratively close any arbitration unless the Party bringing such demand for arbitration can certify in writing that the terms...were fully satisfied.
Neither you nor we may elect arbitration of any claims seeking only individualized relief asserted by you or us in small claims court, so long as the action remains in that court and is not removed or appealed de novo...
"We each mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, we both waive our right to have any Dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as, or to participate in, a class action, collective action and/or representative action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective or representative action ("Class Action Waiver"). 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 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 Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.Excerpt from Lime's Terms of Service
