1. Platform Overview
a. Platform Connects Providers and Clients. The Platform is a web-based communications platform that enables the connection between Clients and Providers. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain certain services from service professionals (“Providers”). Clients and Providers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.”
We do not employ providers to perform services to clients. we do not supervise, direct or control a provider’s work in any manner, which you hereby acknowledge.
The Platform only enables connections between Users. We are not responsible for the performance of Users, nor do we have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Jobs, Providers, Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users. We make no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Jobs requested and services provided by Users identified through the Platform whether in public, private, or offline interactions.
The Platform may host User Generated Content (as defined hereinafter) relating to reviews and ratings of specific Providers (“Feedback”). Such Feedback is such User’s opinion, not our opinion, and has not been verified or approved by us. As such, each Client should undertake their own research to be satisfied that a specific Provider is a right person for a Job. You agree that we are not liable for any Feedback or other User Generated Content. We encourage each User to give objective, constructive and honest Feedback about the other Users with whom they have transacted. We may investigate any remarks posted by Users for accuracy or reliability on our own or if requested by a User.
b. User Vetting. Users may be subject to a vetting process before they can register for and during their use of the Platform, including, but not limited to, a verification of identity, and using third-party services as appropriate. You hereby give consent to us to conduct background checks as often as required in compliance with federal and state laws, including, without limitation, the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Although we may perform background checks of Users as outlined above, we cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be and therefore, we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of identity or background check information or any information provided through the Platform.
When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. neither we nor our affiliates or licensors is responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the platform and you hereby release us and our employees, officers, directors, managers, representatives, agents, and our and their affiliates and licensors (“released parties”) from any liability related thereto. the released parties will not be liable for any claim, injury or damage arising in connection with your use of the platform.
c. Payment. All payments for goods or services provided by Providers will be handled directly between Clients and Providers.
2. Client-Specific Terms

a. Permission to Contact. If you are a Client, when you submit your personal information and a request for a quote on services from Providers (a “Quote”), you authorize us to share your name, contact information, and other information related to your request with Providers as provided herein. You authorize us and up to 4 Providers to contact you at any of the phone numbers, email addresses, or addresses you provided, including by phone call or text message, even if you are listed on any Do Not Call lists.

Such rewards may require you to agree to the terms of one or more third-party payment processors.

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules).

The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and we may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
exceptions to alternative dispute resolution. Claims where mandatory arbitration is prohibited by a valid, non-preempted law, including claims under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq. (“PAGA”) to the extent waiver of such a claim is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, are not covered by this arbitration provision. Nothing in this arbitration provision will prevent either party from bringing an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis the state or federal courts located in New Jersey with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.
waiver of the right to be a plaintiff or class member in a purported class action or representative proceeding. You and we agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. you acknowledge and agree that you and we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and we otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.
location of arbitration. The arbitration will take place in New Jersey. You and we agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, New Jersey have exclusive jurisdiction and you and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
