Faveo Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: [       01/05/2021            ]

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Faveo!

PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT (THE “TERMS OF USE,” OR “TERMS”) CAREFULLY.  THESE TERMS APPLY TO THE GETFAVEO.COM WEBSITE AND ANY OTHER WEBSITES OWNED AND OPERATED BY FAVEO, LLC (“FAVEO,” “WE,” OR “US”) (“WEBSITE”) AND THE SERVICES AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE ON OR ENABLED VIA THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING FAVEO’S MARKETPLACE PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS USERS TO LIST, BOOK APPOINTMENTS FOR, AND PURCHASE HELPER SERVICES (AS DEFINED HEREIN) (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLATFORM”).  THE SERVICES AND RESOURCES MADE AVAILABLE OR ENABLED VIA THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING THE PLATFORM ARE REFERRED TO HEREIN AS THE “PLATFORM SERVICES” AND ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY HELPMATES AND CUSTOMER USERS (AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED HEREIN) (COLLECTIVELY, THE “USERS”).  In addition to this Terms of Use, please read our Privacy Policy  to learn more about how your information will be used and handled by us.

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM SERVICES, YOU REPRESENT THAT (1) YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, (2) YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH FAVEO, AND (3) YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE TERMS OF USE PERSONALLY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY YOU HAVE NAMED AS THE USER (OR HELPMATE, AS THE CASE MAY BE), AND TO BIND THAT COMPANY TO THE TERMS OF USE.  YOU ALSO REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE PLATFORM SERVICES, AND THAT YOUR REGISTRATION AND USE OF THE PLATFORM SERVICES IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE PLATFORM SERVICES. THE TERMS “YOU” REFERS TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND LEGAL ENTITIES WHO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM SERVICES.

Your use of the Platform Services is also subject to any additional terms, conditions and policies that we separately post on the Website or in the Platform or otherwise present to you for your acceptance when you sign up for a feature of the Platform Services and that are included in any agreements that you have separately executed with Faveo (“Supplemental Terms”).  The Supplemental Terms applicable to you are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms set forth here and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control with respect to the Platform Services or feature to which the Supplemental Terms relate. For example, if you are a Helpmate (as defined below) who has executed the Agreement Between Faveo and Helper for Use of Faveo Professional Services and Technology Platform Services (the “Helper Platform Services Agreement”), the terms of that Helper Platform Services Agreement will control and supersede these Terms with respect to the Helper’s access and use of the Platform Services and its provision of Helper Services. The Terms of Use and any applicable Supplemental Terms are referred to herein as the “Agreement.”

  1. Agreement Overview. As provided in greater detail elsewhere in these Terms of Use (and without limiting the express language contained therein), you agree and acknowledge that these Terms include the following provisions:
    1. ARBITRATION — Disputes arising hereunder will be resolved by binding arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND FAVEO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (The Arbitration Agreement is set forth in Section 18);
    2. LICENSE — The Platform Services are licensed, not sold to you, and you may use the Platform Services only as set forth in these Terms. (Sections 7 and 12 of these Terms include restrictions on your use of the Platform and related services); and

NO WARRANTY — The Platform Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind and Faveo’s liability to you is limited. (Faveo’s warranty disclaimers are set forth in Section 16).

  1. Privacy Overview. Faveo will collect, use, share and otherwise process personal information as set out in the applicable privacy statements and policies, including without limitation the [insert internal link];
  1. Faveo Platform Services Overview. Faveo’s Platform Services facilitate connection between companies or other parties (each a “Customer User”) seeking individuals to provide labor (“Helpmates”) to assist with moving, home restoration, warehousing, event set up, or other specified engagements (the “Helper Services”).

FAVEO DOES NOT PROVIDE HELPER SERVICES OF ANY KIND AND DOES NOT EMPLOY OR ENGAGE HELPMATES TO PERFORM SUCH HELPER SERVICES.  HELPMATES ARE NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, OR FRANCHISEES OF FAVEO. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FAVEO DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR HELPER SERVICES BUT MAY MONITOR AND FACILITATE HELPER SERVICES ARRANGED THROUGH THE PLATFORM.

THE PLATFORM SERVICES ENABLE CUSTOMER USERS IN NEED OF CERTAIN HELPER SERVICES TO SEARCH FOR AND SELECT AVAILABLE HELPMATES WHO PROVIDE THE NEEDED HELPER SERVICES.  ONCE THE USERS AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER, THEY HANDLE THE ARRANGEMENTS, INCLUDING THE SCHEDULING OF APPOINTMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS AND PAYMENT FOR THE TRANSACTIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM.

HELPMATES DECIDE WHETHER TO OFFER HELPER SERVICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM AND ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR HELPER SERVICES AND ANY ACTS AND OMISSIONS BY THEM OR THEIR PERSONNEL IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.  ANY INDIVIDUALS WHO PROVIDE HELPER SERVICES ON BEHALF OF A HELPMATE ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HELPMATE. 

YOU AGREE THAT FAVEO HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY HELPER SERVICES, THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH SERVICES OR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE HELPMATES OR THEIR PERSONNEL OR CONTRACTORS AND YOU USE HELPER SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK. 

  1. Helper Services
    1. Requesting Helper Services. As a Customer User, You may request Helper Services directly by creating a new request (“Helper Services Request”) through the Platform Services. Such Helper Services Requests may include details such as the Helper Services project schedule, the number of Helpmates required, and the hourly rate for the Helper Services. Faveo may recommend Helpmates that meet the criteria you specified in the Helper Services Request or in your account. You may elect to work with a recommended Helpmate, or choose to review the profiles of additional Helpmates, including those who have applied to the request, to select a Helpmate to provide the requested Helper Services. Once a Helpmate registers on the Platform, the Helpmate may view Customer Users’ requests for Helper Services, including by searching for requests related to the Helpmate’s skills and based on the Helpmate’s location. The Helpmate may then apply to positions of interest. Customer Users and Helpmates may receive messages and other communications related to requests for Platform Services directly through the Platform, by email or by text. Such messages may include notice of when a Helpmate’s application is accepted or denied, and reminders for the Helpmate regarding Helper Services start dates and times.
    2. Conduct Guidelines for Customer Users. Due to the nature of the Helper Services you may, from time to time, personally interact with the Helpmate you engage to provide such Helper Services. You acknowledge Helpmates deserve your respect, and that your continued use of the Platform Services depends upon your continued observance of the following code of conduct (“Code of Conduct”): You agree that you shall not: (a) physically harm, threaten to harm, or intentionally or recklessly cause harm to Helpmates or create a condition that endangers the health and safety of any Helpmate; (b) make or attempt any unwanted sexual advance or statement to our Helpmates; (c) threaten, harass, stalk, intimidate, or engage in any other aggressive or bullying behavior against our Helpmates; (d) use any vulgar or obscene language or otherwise engage in behavior that is likely to make others feel uncomfortable, embarrassed or offended; or (e) engage in any behavior that discriminates against our Helpmates because of the individual’s race, color, sex, age, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation or religion. Any violation of our Code of Conduct shall be deemed a material breach of these Terms, and we may terminate your account and access and use of the Platform Services without penalty.
    3. Cancellation of Helper Services. The fees associated with cancellation of any Helper Services (“Cancellation Fees”) for Customer Users and for Helpmates are set forth on our website.
    4. Necessary Equipment. Customer Users must supply any trucks, tools, machines or equipment necessary for the required tasks. However, Faveo and its Helpmates may refuse to work with any provided equipment they are uncomfortable, unfamiliar with or deem unsafe.

  1. Payment.
    1. For Customer Users. Customer User agrees to pay all fees associated with Helper Services provided in connection with an accepted Helper Services Request, at the rates agreed upon between Customer User and a member of Faveo’s customer success team as documented for your review on the Platform prior to posting a job. Customer User will be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to such fees and will indemnify and hold harmless Faveo from any and all taxes based on any payments made by you via the Platform Services. Faveo does not make any representation or render any advice as to the potential tax implications of any payments made via the Platform Services, and you should consult your tax professional with regards to the same. Except as otherwise set forth herein or agreed to by Faveo, all fees paid by Customer Users are non-refundable. EACH REQUEST FOR HELPER SERVICES IS UNIQUE. FEES ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUS REQUESTS MAY NOT BE HONORED IN CONNECTION WITH FUTURE REQUESTS. TO DETERMINE THE FEES IN CONNECTION WITH A GIVEN REQUEST, CUSTOMER USER MUST DISCUSS SUCH FEES WITH A MEMBER OF FAVEO’S CUSTOMER SUCCESS TEAM.
    2. For Helpmates. Helpmates should review the Helper Platform Services Agreement for payment information and any fees payable in connection with the Platform Services.

You hereby consent and authorize Faveo and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide to the extent required to complete your transactions in accordance with these Terms, including personal, financial, credit card payment and transaction information.

  1. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
    1. Generally. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Faveo in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Faveo agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND FAVEO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. This Arbitration Agreement also applies without limitation to all disputes between Helpmate and (i) Faveo’s fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, and all successors and assigns of any of them and (ii) Customer Users, including, but not limited to, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of relating to these Terms or Helpmate’s relationship with Faveo, including termination of the relationship or Helpmate’s performance of Helper Services for a Customer User.
    2. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 18.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
    3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Faveo will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Faveo. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    4. Selection of the Arbitrator. There shall be one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of Helpmate and Faveo. Unless Helpmate and Faveo mutually agree otherwise, the arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed to practice in the location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within 30 days after the commencement of the arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be selected using the alternate strike method from a list of five (5) neutral arbitrators provided by JAMS. Helpmate will have the option of making the first strike.
    5. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or electronic mail (“Notice”). Faveo’s address for Notice is: Faveo, LLC, 404 Euclid Ave., San Diego, CA 92114 or [email protected]. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Faveo may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Faveo must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Faveo will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Faveo in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $15,000.
    6. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Faveo will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000 or as set forth below, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Diego, CA but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Faveo for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    7. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 404 Euclid Ave San Diego, CA 92114, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you.

    8. No Class Actions. YOU AND FAVEO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Faveo agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    9. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Faveo makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Faveo’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Faveo’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Faveo will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
