14. Crowdfavors Escrow Account

Crowdfavors is an Internet-based service providing secure transaction management between Askers and Doers for service engagements. The Service includes assisting Doers and Askers in creating, negotiating, and managing their transactions as well as dispute resolution. The Service intends to relieve the Asker of the risk of paying for a service that the Asker does not receive and relieve the Doer of the risk of providing a service and not receiving valid payment for it. Crowdfavors provides a platform for the negotiation of service engagements between Users, including description of the transaction, terms, price, and performance deadlines. The Service also allows both Users to monitor each step of the transaction and will notify the Users when further action is required.

When both Users (Asker and Doer) agree to the terms of the Service Engagement, the Asker will pay Crowdfavors the amount of Engagement price, which will be credited to the Asker's account at Crowdfavors (the "Crowdfavors Escrow Account"). Crowdfavors will then instruct the Doer to provide the services in accordance with the Service Engagement. When the Asker certifies that it is satisfied with the services received in accordance to the terms of the Service Engagement, the Site debits the Crowdfavors Escrow Account of the Asker and credits the Crowdfavors Escrow Account of the Doer with the amount of Engagement price net of Crowdfavors' service fee. At the User's request, the Site will transfer the amount from Crowdfavors Escrow Account to the User via PayPal, wire transfer, Automatic Clearing House ("ACH") credit, or e-check. Crowdfavors will transfer funds only to accounts maintained in the name of the User, or make checks only to the name of the User. Crowdfavors will not pay third parties, nor handle any payments not related to a transaction registered at Crowdfavors in accordance with the Service Engagement.

After completing Provider Service as a Doer and receiving your first funds, or paying Engagement price to Crowdfavors as an Asker, the Site will automatically deploy and maintain your Crowdfavors Escrow Account to receive and withdraw payments and to make payments to the Site for payment processing and other fees.

Payment processing fees may be withheld from User's Crowdfavors Escrow Account in accordance with the Service Fees & Rewards page.

Crowdfavors Escrow Account will also be used for your receiving of Referral Rewards from the Site.

15. Dispute Resolution

Disputes between Users arising out of Service Engagements will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions provided by the Site.

16. Crowdfavors Not a Party

The Service provides a platform which enables Users to create Listings for Provider Services and Providers to browse those Listings and provide Provider Services directly to the Users. Users acknowledge and agree that Crowdfavors is not a party to any communications, interactions, or agreements between its Users. Crowdfavors does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Providers or their work. Crowdfavors does not set Providers' hours, schedules, prices, or any component of various Provider Services. Crowffavors has no control over the conduct of Users of the Service, or any Provider Services, or third parties related to any Users or Provider Services. Crowdfavors disclaims all liability in this regard to the maximum extent permitted by law. Service Engagements between Users will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Crowdfavors and any User.

17. License Restrictions

You agree that by using our Service, you are receiving a license to access, download, and use the Service in compliance with this Agreement, applicable laws, and any additional terms located within our Service which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

The Third-Party Services are developed and maintained by the respective third parties and are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies. You should read the privacy policies and terms of service engagements of all Third-Party Services. We are not responsible for the content of Third-Party Services, nor do we make any warranties or representations with regard to the content, accuracy, opinions, warranties, products or services, privacy or security, intellectual property compliance, or links of such Third-Party Services.

19. Errors and Inaccuracies

We make every effort to provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date information on our Service.

We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.

We assume no obligation to update, amend, or clarify information in the Service or any Third-Party Service (as defined below), including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law.

You agree not to use these phrases anywhere without our prior written consent. Additionally, you agree not to use our trade dress, or copy the look and feel of our Service or its design, without our prior written consent. You agree that this paragraph goes beyond the governing law on intellectual property law, and includes prohibitions on any competition that violates the provisions of this paragraph, including starting your own service, whether or not it competes directly or indirectly with us or our Service.

23. Revocation of Consent

We may revoke our consent for your use of our intellectual property, or any other permission granted to you under this Agreement, at any time. You agree that if we so request, you must take immediate action to remove any usage of our intellectual property that you may have engaged in, even if it would cause a loss to you.

24. Copyright & Trademark Infringement

25. Communications Decency Act and Constitutional Protection

Similar to the DMCA provisions above, United States law include Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, create a defense for us for the actions of third parties in regard to any defamatory content posted on our Service. Although we are not liable for defamatory words posted on our Service by our Users even if given notice, we do prohibit defamation under this Agreement and we may, if we believe the situation warrants it, take action against the offending User. Please notify us at info@crowdfavors.co if any of our Users have posted anything that you believe is defamatory. Note that administrators and management should, ideally, be the first party you contact in response to any defamation by another User.

26. Representations & Warranties

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OF OUR SERVICE OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM ANY LIABILITY THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO YOU IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR OUR SERVICES, FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE OF OUR SERVICE, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER TORT. TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW RESTRICTS THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE ONLY LIABLE TO YOU FOR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT THE LAW RESTRICTS OUR LIABILITY TO, IF SUCH A MINIMUM EXISTS.

YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THIRD PARTIES WHO MAY USE OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PEOPLE WHO COMMIT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, DEFAMATION, TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH ECONOMIC RELATIONS, OR ANY OTHER ACTIONABLE CONDUCT TOWARDS YOU.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTIONS BY AN ADMINISTRATOR, MANAGER, EMPLOYEE, OR OTHER USER WHICH MAY CAUSE HARM TO YOU, EVEN IF WE BECOME AWARE IN ADVANCE THAT SUCH ACTIONS MAY OR WILL OCCUR AND DO NOT NOTIFY YOU.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS IN INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH OUR SERVICE OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE THAT MAY ARISE FROM SUCH CONTENT.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR SERVICE OR A THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING ANY FAILURES OR DISRUPTIONS WHICH PREVENT ACCESS TO OUR SERVICE TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIRMING OR OTHERWISE AUTHENTICATING THE CREDENTIALS AND/OR PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (WHERE APPLICABLE) OF ANY DOERS ON OUR SITE. DOERS SHALL BE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS TO ASKERS AND OTHERWISE HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP OF CONTROL OR AUTHORITY WITH CROWDFAVORS.

THE PROVISION OF OUR SERVICE TO YOU IS CONTINGENT ON YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THIS AND ALL OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS "REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES" SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE GENERALITY OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION.

  • For Jurisdictions that do not allow us to limit our liability: Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms, if your jurisdiction has provisions specific to waiver or liability that conflict with the above then our liability is limited to the smallest extent possible by law. Specifically, in those jurisdictions not allowed, we do not disclaim liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of any of its officers, employees or agents; or (b) fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any liability which it is not lawful to exclude either now or in the future.

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.

Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions not in the United States do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States, foreign, and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. Your promise and agree to use the Service in strict compliance with any local, domestic, national, and/or territorial laws, rules, and regulation that are or may be applicable.

27. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and any of our affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, successors, and assigns for any claims by you or any third party which may arise from or relate to this Agreement or the provision of our Service to you, including any damages caused by your use of our Service, or the permitted use by others of your license and User Account. You also agree that you have a duty to defend us against such claims and we may require you to pay for an attorney(s) of our choice in such cases. You agree that this indemnity extends to requiring you to pay for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements. In the event of a claim such as one described in this paragraph, we may elect to settle with the party/parties making the claim, and you shall be liable for the damages as though we had proceeded with a trial.

28. Assignment

We may assign or delegate this Agreement and/or our Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is ineffective.

29. Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the State of New York. The offer and acceptance of this contract are deemed to have occurred in the State of New York.

30. Form of Dispute

Where the subject matter of a dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, the Service or your use of the Service, or any products or services offered or distributed through the Service as between you and Crowdfavors ("Disputes") is eligible for it, you agree that any disputes shall be heard solely within the Civil Court of the City of New York – Small Claims Part ("Small Claims Court"). If a dispute claims multiple claims and one or more of those claims would be eligible to be heard by the Small Claims Court, you agree not to bring the other claims against us and to instead proceed within the Small Claims Court. If you would be entitled in a dispute to an amount exceeding the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court, you agree to waive your right to collect any damages in excess of the monetary jurisdiction and instead still bring your claim within the Small Claims Court. At the time of drafting this Agreement, the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court is $5,000. You agree that if a dispute is eligible to be heard in Small Claims Court but you would be entitled to an additional or alternative remedy in a higher court, such as injunctive relief, you will waive your right to that remedy and still bring the dispute within the Small Claims Court.

Except as specifically stated herein, all other Disputes not eligible for resolution in Small Claims Court shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration. You hereby waive your right to have any future Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 26). The provisions of this Section 26 shall constitute your and Crowdfavors's written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any modification to this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by you and Crowdfavors. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules.

You agree that you may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. In addition, you agree that disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these provisions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either party may bring suit in court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party's or a third party's intellectual property rights.

You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action shall be permanently barred.

If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.

You agree that any Dispute that, for whatever reason, is deemed not subject to the jurisdiction requirements set forth above shall be subject to exclusive jurisdiction in the state or federal courts in New York County, New York.

31. Force Majeure

You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, unavailability of payment processors, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.

32. Severability

In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.

If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other's operation, we shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.

33. Non-Waiver

We reserve all rights afforded to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law.
