HARD BLOCK: 3 Unfilled Placeholders

No user may sign any document until all applicable placeholders are filled.

Critical warning on [State]: Do NOT choose California without counsel review. California triggers PAGA exposure and AB5/Dynamex independent contractor complications.

Fee Disclosure Sync: Code ↔ Legal

This is bidirectional. When fee percentages change in code, legal documents MUST be updated before the next user signs. When legal documents update prohibited categories or fee schedules, code must be reviewed.

Fee Change Lookup Table

When a Fee Changes — Full Workflow

1. Identify the fee type that changed (platform %, tip cut %, cancellation schedule, background check fee)
2. Look up the table above for which documents need updating
3. Open the relevant .docx files in /Users/sebastiandysart/HustleXP/HUSTLEXP-DOCS/legal/
4. Update the fee disclosure sections to match the new percentages
5. Log the legal change in TODO.md in HUSTLEXP-DOCS
6. Commit both the code change and the legal doc change together in the same PR when possible

Example — tip cut change from 0% to 7%:

• Documents to update: HustleXP-Hustler-Agreement.docx AND HustleXP-Poster-Agreement.docx
• Find the tip/gratuity disclosure section in each
• Update percentage from 0% to 7%
• Commit alongside the TippingService.ts change

Cancellation Fee Schedule

• Referenced URL: https://hustlexp.com/legal/cancellation-fees
• Referenced in: Poster Agreement — Exhibit A and Section 4.4
• Status: NOT yet published — must be live and versioned before Poster Agreement is executed

Pre-Execution Counsel Review Items

These items require legal counsel sign-off before any document is executed with users:

1. PAGA waiver enforceability — in whichever [State] is chosen
2. AAA fee schedule — verify current as of 2024 rules (Arbitration Agreement)
3. FCRA adverse action timeline — verify compliant for Checkr integration (14-day notice window)
4. Viking River Cruises v. Moriana compliance — U.S. Supreme Court 2022 — for PAGA waiver in Arbitration Agreement

Response Pattern for Fee Change Questions

When asked "we changed fee X — is there anything else we need to do?", always:

1. Immediately identify whether the fee type maps to a legal document update (use the table above)
2. Name the specific documents that need updating
3. Name the specific sections within those documents
4. State the workflow: open .docx at the legal directory path, update the section, log in TODO.md, commit together
5. Check placeholder status: if any of the 3 HARD BLOCK placeholders are unfilled, surface that as a blocker before any document goes to users
6. Flag counsel review items if a document is being prepared for actual execution
