If there is any conflict between this TOU and any supplemental terms to a site or service, the supplemental terms will control. This TOU does not apply to those sites and services that do not display or link to this TOU, or that have their own terms of use.

We reserve the right to change these TOU from time to time without notice to you.

If you do not accept and agree to all provisions of these TOU, now or in the future, you may reject these TOU by immediately terminating all access and use of our sites and services, in which case any continuing access or use of our sites and service is unauthorized.
This TOU governs your access to, use of, and participation in the sites and services made available by Liaison or provider services obtained from or provided to other users. All references to "you" or "your," as applicable, mean the person who accesses, uses, and/or participates in the Platform in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns, and successors. If you use the Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity, your acceptance of the TOU will be deemed an acceptance by that entity, and "you" and "your" herein shall refer to that entity, its members, owners, directors, employees, and any other agent of that entity. As used in these TOU, references to our "Affiliates" include our owners, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, officers, directors, suppliers, partners, sponsors, and advertisers, and includes (without limitation) all parties involved in creating, producing, and/or delivering this site and/or its contents.

As Consumers might be or become clients of Service Professionals, they may also be referred to as "customers" within the Platform and related marketing materials.
"User" identifies an individual or entity that either finishes the account registration process with Liaison, adheres to its Terms, takes advantage of the services on the Platform, or submits or obtains a request via our sites. This includes, but isn’t limited to, Service Professionals and Consumers.
"Content" encompasses a variety of materials like text, images, graphics, audio, software, video, information, and more. This includes everything from profile information and service requests to quotes, message threads, reviews, scheduling details, calendar information, and any other data accessible on or through the Platform.
"User Content" constitutes all Content that is submitted, posted, uploaded, published, or transmitted by any User or other user of the Platform, such as photos, profile details, descriptions, postings, reviews, requests, messages, and payments, excluding Liaison Content and Feedback.

We have the right, but not the obligation, to regulate content (which includes but is not limited to postings, text, code, images, video, binary files, ads, accounts, account information, flags, emails, messages and any other user communications ("content")) posted to, stored on or transmitted via our sites and services by any user (or any other third party in any manner); to regulate conduct (including but not limited to any authorized or unauthorized access to or use of our sites and services) by any user (or any other third party in any manner); and to enforce these TOU, for any reason and in any manner or by any means that we, in our sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate (including but not limited to automated and manual screening, blocking, filtering, exclusion from index pages, exclusion from search results, requiring the use of an application programming interface (API), requiring the use of a bulk posting interface, authorization, verification, and the deletion and/or termination of content, accounts and/or all or any use or access). We may, in our sole discretion and without notice, start, stop or modify any regulation or enforcement measures at any time. Our action or inaction to regulate content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of these TOU by any user (or any other third party) does not waive our right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct or potential TOU violation.
You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by us or any of our directors, officers, stockholders, employees, consultants, agents or representatives (collectively, "our representatives" and individually "our representative") to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential TOU violation is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither we nor any of our representatives will be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of these TOU.
Although our representatives may moderate content on our sites and services at our discretion, our representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on behalf of us will "take care" of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on behalf of us will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported TOU violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by our representative (or by anyone else acting on behalf of us or by anyone purportedly acting on behalf of us) that we (including but not limited to our representative, anyone else acting on behalf of us, or anyone purportedly acting on behalf of us) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported TOU violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that we, our representatives and anyone else authorized to act on behalf of us will in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that we, our representatives or anyone else on behalf of us would or would not restrict or redress any content, conduct or potential or purported TOU violation. For the purpose of clarity, the opinions, statements, comments, posts and other communications expressed on our sites and services are solely those of the poster and not ours, or our employees, officers, directors, shareholders, subsidiaries, parent companies, attorneys or other agents. We do not guarantee the accuracy or reliability or the information provided by any poster, administrator, or moderator. Administrators and moderators are not our agents and their opinions, comments and posts are their own. This paragraph may not be modified, waived or released except by a written agreement, dated and signed by our Chief Executive Officer and dated and signed by the individual or entity to whom the modification, waiver or release is granted.
We also have the right in our sole discretion to limit, modify, interrupt, suspend or discontinue all or any portions of our sites and services at any time without notice. We and our representatives will not be liable for any such limitations, modifications, interruptions, suspensions or discontinuance, or any purported losses, harm or damages arising from or related thereto.
We do not control, are not responsible for and make no representations or warranties with respect to any user content. You are solely responsible for your access to, use of and/or reliance on any user content. You must conduct any necessary, appropriate, prudent or judicious investigation, inquiry, research and due diligence with respect to any user content.
You are also responsible for any content that you post or transmit and, if you create an account, you are responsible for all content posted or transmitted through or by use of your account. You accept full responsibility for avoiding infringement of the intellectual property or personal rights of others in connection with your Content.
Content prohibited from our sites and services includes but is not limited to: (1) illegal content; (2) content in facilitation of the creation, advertising, distribution, provision or receipt of illegal goods or services; (3) offensive content (including, without limitation, court ordered defamatory statements, threatening, hateful or pornographic content); (4) content that discloses another's personal, confidential or proprietary information; (5) false or fraudulent content (including but not limited to false, fraudulent or misleading responses to user ads transmitted via our sites and services); (6) malicious content (including, without limitation, malware or spyware); (7) content that offers, promotes, advertises, or provides links to posting or auto-posting products or services, account creation or auto-creation products or services, flagging or auto-flagging products or services, bulk telephone numbers, or any other product or service that if utilized with respect to our sites and services would violate these TOU or our other legal rights; and (8) content that offers, promotes, advertises or provides links to unsolicited products or services. Other content prohibitions are set forth in supplemental terms for particular categories or services on our sites and services and all such prohibitions are expressly incorporated into these TOU as stated in the introductory paragraphs above.
You automatically grant and assign to us, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant and assign to us, a perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, fully paid, fully sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), worldwide license to copy, perform, display, sell, transfer, distribute, prepare derivative works from (including, without limitation, incorporating into other works) and otherwise use any content that you post. You also expressly grant and assign to us all rights and causes of action to prohibit and enforce against any unauthorized copying, performance, display, distribution, use or exploitation of, or creation of derivative works from, any content that you post (including but not limited to any unauthorized downloading, extraction, harvesting, collection or aggregation of content that you post). The contents of private messaging through the Platform will not be used by Liaison in public advertising. For clear understanding, it's important to note that the license granted to Liaison will continue to be in effect even after the termination of the Platform or your Account. Liaison does not assert any ownership rights over your User Content, and nothing in these Terms should be interpreted as limiting the rights that you may possess to use, manage, or exploit any User Content that you have submitted, posted, uploaded, published, or transmitted on or through the Platform.
In an effort to enhance user experience and create a comprehensive profile, we may, from time to time, gather publicly accessible content ("Public Content") that you own or control from platforms or profiles outside of Liaison. This may include, but is not limited to, pictures, videos, and other media or information. Any Public Content we collect might be added to your profile on our platform. However, such content will remain private and will not be displayed publicly on your profile until you have expressly agreed to our terms of use and our privacy policy. You retain the right to remove or request the removal of any Public Content from your profile at any time, irrespective of your agreement to our terms and policies. Once you accept our terms and complete your account setup, the Public Content on your profile, like any other content you provide or that is associated with your profile, will be governed by and subject to all applicable terms, policies, and conditions stipulated in this agreement and any other relevant documents referenced herein. After your acceptance of our terms and policies and your subsequent review and approval of the collected Public Content, now known as your Content, you assume full responsibility for ensuring that your Content does not infringe upon the intellectual property or rights of third parties. You are solely responsible for any legal implications or liabilities arising from potential infringements or violations related to your Content.
We do not control, are not responsible for and make no representations or warranties with respect to any user or user conduct. You are solely responsible for your interaction with or reliance on any user or user conduct. You must perform any necessary, appropriate, prudent or judicious investigation, inquiry, research and due diligence with respect to any user or user conduct.
You are also responsible for your own conduct and activities on, through or related to our sites and services, and, if you create an account on our sites and services, you are responsible for all conduct or activities on, through or by use of your account.
This section applies to all uses and users of our sites and services, unless we have specifically authorized an exception to a particular term for a particular user in a written agreement. We have sole and absolute discretion to authorize or deny any exception or exceptions to the terms in this section.
Postings
Users may not circumvent any technological measure implemented by us to restrict the manner in which content may be posted on our sites and services or to regulate the manner in which content (including but not limited to email) may be transmitted to other users. This prohibition includes, without limitation, a ban on the use of multiple email addresses (created via an email address generator or otherwise); the use of multiple IP addresses (via proxy servers, modem toggling, or otherwise); CAPTCHA circumvention, automation or outsourcing; multiple and/or fraudulent service accounts, including phone-verified accounts; URL shortening, obfuscation or redirection; use of multiple phone lines or phone forwarding for verification; and content obfuscation via HTML techniques, printing text on images, inserting random text or content "spinning."
It is expressly prohibited for any third party to post content to our sites and services on behalf of another. Users must post content only on their own behalf, and may not permit, enable, induce or encourage any third party to post content for them.
It is expressly prohibited to post content to our sites and services using any automated means. Users must post all content personally and manually through all steps of the posting process. It is also expressly prohibited for any user to develop, offer, market, sell, distribute or provide an automated means to perform any step of the posting process (in whole or in part). Any user who develops, offers, markets, sells, distributes or provides an automated means to perform any step of the posting process (in whole or in part) will be responsible and liable to us for each instance of access to our sites and services (by any user or other third party) using that automated means.
Affiliate marketing by users is expressly prohibited on our sites and services. Users may not post content or communicate with any user for purposes of affiliate marketing or in connection with any affiliate marketing system, scheme or program in any manner or under any circumstance.
Users may access the Platform without registering for an account. For each site, a user may create, maintain and use no more than one account to post content only on his/her or its own behalf. A user must create his/her or its account personally and manually and may not create accounts by any automated means. Without limitation, this includes the obligation that the user personally and manually solves any CAPTCHA challenge in the account creation process. A user may not create or use additional accounts or any account of another and must not permit, enable, induce or encourage others to create accounts for him/her or it.
The purchase and sale of accounts and the creation of accounts for others is expressly prohibited. The circumvention of any technological restriction or security measure in the account creation process, posting process or otherwise for posting content in violation of these TOU also is expressly prohibited.
You can create an Account using specific third-party credentials like your Facebook or Google details (referred to as your "Third-Party Site Password"). During the registration or request submission process and at any time you use the Platform, you commit to supplying information that is current, accurate, and complete, as well as to update this information to maintain its accuracy and completeness.
The responsibility for safeguarding both your Liaison password and, if relevant, your Third-Party Site Password, rests solely with you. You are the only one accountable for all activities that transpire on your Account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use, you must inform Liaison without delay. Liaison holds no liability for losses incurred by any party due to unauthorized access to your Account.
Should unauthorized use of your account occur as a result of your failure to adhere to these Terms, you will be held responsible for any subsequent losses incurred by Liaison or others. Your account cannot be transferred to another party without obtaining written consent from Liaison and in strict compliance with the policies and procedures of Liaison.
Only individuals who are at least 18 years old and capable of forming legally binding agreements under relevant law are allowed to access and use the Platform. When you access or utilize the Platform, you are affirming and guaranteeing that you fulfill these criteria.
Service Professionals, by using or registering on the Platform to propose, post, or provide Pro Services, assure and assert that they and their associates, such as employees, agents, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors, possess the necessary qualifications, experience, and required licensure, certification, bonding, and insurance. These must comply with all laws or regulations in the jurisdictions where the Pro Services are offered and specific to the work being undertaken. Furthermore, Service Professionals agree to adhere to all relevant laws, like the California Consumer Privacy Act, any other pertinent privacy laws, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, in their usage of the Platform and any personal data obtained from it.
Liaison's role is not as a seller or provider of Pro Services. It might offer home project consultations and associated on-Platform services to Consumers, but independent Service Professionals provide any Pro Services that may be requested as a result. Liaison makes no representation or warranty about these services, except as explicitly stated. Liaison’s facilitation of Pro Service transactions may include actions such as listing Service Professionals' profiles, enabling communication between Consumers and Service Professionals, assisting with appointment bookings, helping select a Service Professional, and processing payments. Consumers should recognize that this facilitation does not equate to a warranty regarding the Pro Services. Service Professionals must acknowledge that platform usage doesn't guarantee engagement, and Consumers must realize that they are directly soliciting Pro Services from the Service Professionals themselves.
Service Professionals are considered customers of Liaison and are not identified as employees, contractors, consultants, joint venturers, partners, or agents. They are responsible for their own equipment, job selection, expertise development, other platform engagements, and work schedules. Except as specifically outlined on the Platform or in this document, Liaison does not have control over or the right to dictate the services provided by a Service Professional, whether engaged by a Consumer or another individual.
Finally, Liaison may acquire reports concerning Service Professionals in compliance with applicable laws, possibly including criminal convictions or sex offender registration histories. Based on the outcomes of such reports, Liaison may take actions such as limiting, blocking, suspending, deactivating, or terminating a Service Professional's account, with or without notice. By being a Service Professional, you consent and authorize Liaison to use your personal details, like your full name and date of birth, to acquire these reports from its vendors. Any material criminal convictions occurring after such reports must be reported to Liaison by Service Professionals.
This section applies to all uses and users of our sites and services, unless we have specifically authorized an exception to a particular term for a particular user in a written agreement. We have sole and absolute discretion to authorize or deny any exception or exceptions to the terms in this section.
To maintain the integrity and functionality of our sites and services for its users, access to our sites and services and/or activities related to our sites and services that are harmful to, inconsistent with or disruptive of our sites and services and/or users beneficial use and enjoyment of our sites and services are expressly unauthorized and prohibited. For example, without limitation:
If you access our sites and services or copy, display, distribute, perform or create derivative works from our sites and services webpages or our intellectual property in violation of these TOU or for purposes inconsistent with these TOU, your access, copying, display, distribution, performance or derivative work is unauthorized. Circumvention of any technological restriction or security measure on our sites and services or any provision of these TOU that restricts content, conduct, accounts or access is expressly prohibited. For purposes of this paragraph, you agree that cached copies of our webpages on your computer or computer server constitute "copies" under the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101. For purposes of this paragraph, you further agree that CAPTCHAs and telephone verification are "technological measures" that effectively control access to copyright-protected components and our intellectual property rights pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 1201.
We and our representatives are not parties to, have no involvement or interest in, make no representations or warranties as to, and have no responsibility or liability with respect to any communications, transactions, interactions, disputes or any relations whatsoever between you and any other user, person or organization ("your interactions with others"). You must conduct any necessary, appropriate, prudent or judicious investigation, inquiry, research or due diligence with respect to your interactions with others.
We aim to provide tools that enable Users to sort out these disputes on their own. However, if a rare situation arises where a conflict related to the Platform cannot be settled independently, you commit to joining a neutral resolution or mediation at Liaison's request. This participation should be in good faith, and as much as you can reasonably do so, in a process led by Liaison or a neutral third-party mediator or arbitrator chosen by Liaison. Despite this, you acknowledge and accept that Liaison has no mandatory obligation to get involved in or dictate the resolution in any disagreements between or among Users or any third party.
The sites or services may provide links to other websites and online resources. Because we have no control over such websites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that we, including our shareholders, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, licensors, suppliers and service providers, (collectively, "we") are not responsible for the availability of such external websites or resources and we neither endorse nor are responsible or liable for, and make no representations or warranties regarding, the identity or trustworthiness of the third-party website or resources, including any content, advertising, products, services, or other materials on or available through such websites or resources. Other websites may provide links to our sites with or without authorization. You acknowledge and agree that we do not endorse such websites, and are not and shall not be responsible or liable for any links from those websites to our sites, any content, advertising, products or other materials available on or through such other websites, or any loss or damages incurred in connection therewith. YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY WEBSITES AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, DATA, ADVERTISING, PRODUCTS OR OTHER MATERIALS ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH WEBSITES AND RESOURCES, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY APPLICABLE TO SUCH WEBSITES AND RESOURCES. We shall have the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to block links to our sites through technological or other means without prior notice.
In certain instances, we may charge a fee to post content or for other features, products, services or licenses. You are responsible for any fees applicable to content that you post or other features, products, services or licenses you purchase or that are purchased through your account. You authorize us or our designated payment processor to charge your specified credit card, debit card or other payment method for such fees.
Unless otherwise specified, all fees are in United States dollars and all charges will be made in United States dollars. Any applicable sales or other taxes are additional to the stated fee. Currency exchange settlements and foreign transaction fees are based on your agreement with your credit card or other payment method provider.
Except as required by law or otherwise stated on the site or in the services, all fees are nonrefundable and payments and purchases may not be canceled by the user. However, we reserve the right to refuse or terminate any purchase or attempted purchase at any time in our sole discretion.
You agree to indemnify and hold us and our representatives harmless from and against any third-party claim, cause of action, demand or damages related to or arising out of: (a) content that you post or transmit (including but not limited to content that a third-party deems defamatory or otherwise harmful or offensive); (b) activity that occurs through or by use of your account (including, without limitation, all content posted or transmitted and your interactions with others); (c) your use of or reliance on any user content; and (d) your violation of these TOU. This indemnification obligation includes payment of any attorneys' fees and costs incurred by us or our representatives. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.
YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF AND RELIANCE ON OUR SITES AND SERVICES AND CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH OUR SITES AND SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID PROVIDER ANY AMOUNTS IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE BRINGING OF ANY CLAIM, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE IS TO STOP USING OUR SITES AND SERVICES AND TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT, IF ANY.
You hereby release us and each of our representatives, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, predecessors, assigns, heirs, service providers and suppliers, from all claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, direct and indirect, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to our sites and services or content accessed through our sites and services, or any interactions with others arising out of or related to our sites and services or content accessed through our sites and services, and you expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any similar laws in other jurisdictions), which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
At our election, we may seek actual or liquidated damages. In addition to any injunctive relief, you agree to pay to us the total amount of all actual damages (including but not limited to direct, indirect, consequential and incidental damages) caused by any violation of these TOU for which you bear responsibility; except you acknowledge that, for certain TOU violations, actual damages would be extremely difficult or impossible to quantify. Consequently, for such TOU violations, you agree to pay liquidated damages to us as described in our liquidated damages policy, which can be found here.
Furthermore, you agree that the amounts of liquidated damages described therein are reasonable estimates of our damages for such violations, and that liquidated damages for violations of these TOU are and will be cumulative.
You acknowledge and agree that any violation or breach of these TOU may cause us immediate and irreparable harm and damages. Consequently, notwithstanding any other provision of these TOU or other applicable legal requirements, we have the right to, and may in our discretion, immediately obtain preliminary injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders) and seek permanent injunctive relief regarding any violation or breach of these TOU. In addition to any and all other remedies available to us in law or in equity, we may seek specific performance of any term in these TOU, including but not limited to by preliminary or permanent injunction.
Our Privacy Policy prohibits the release of user or account information except in limited circumstances, including with express permission from the user, as and when required or permitted by law, or to comply with legal process properly served on us. If you seek the identity or account information of a user of our sites and services in connection with a civil legal matter, you must serve us with a valid subpoena.
We reserve the right to disclose any personal information about you or your use of our sites and services, including its contents, without your prior permission if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (2) protect and defend our rights and property or our affiliated companies; (3) enforce these TOU; or (4) act to protect the interests of our users or others. Our performance of these TOU is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this TOU is in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of our sites and services or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use.
Notice to Users; Response Time; User Objections: Upon receipt of a valid civil subpoena, we will promptly notify the user whose information is sought via email. If circumstances do not amount to an emergency, we will not immediately produce the user information sought by the subpoena and will provide the user an opportunity to move to quash the subpoena in court. Users should consult with an attorney should they object to the disclosure of their information. We will disclose the information requested by the subpoena or legal request unless we receive a copy of a request for court order that we not do so no later than noon on the day that is two days before our compliance with the request is due.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at: http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our sites and services that are properly reported to our Copyright Agent identified below.
If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through our sites or services by sending a DMCA notice and delivering it to our Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of the notice as described below, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from our site or service. The notice must:
Email us this notice, with all items completed, to our Copyright Agent with the subject line “DMCA Complaint”. You acknowledge if you fail to comply with all of the above requirements, your DMCA notice may not be valid.
In appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, we may disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
We have established a privacy policy covering the collection, use, and disclosure of user information, which can be found here.
We offer a mix of free and paid services. For paid services, we can process payments through your linked debit or credit card, or directly from your transaction proceeds, Liaison-account balance, or linked bank account.
If there are changes to our subscription fees, we'll notify you 30 days in advance. You have the option to cancel your subscription at any time.
Liaison provides both free Services, which do not incur additional fees ("Free Services"), and paid-for Services ("Paid Services"). Our Paid Services include those that require payment on a recurring basis ("Subscription Services") and others that are billed based on usage ("A La Carte Services"). When you sign up for a Subscription Service, including after any trial period, you agree to pay the recurring subscription fee along with any applicable taxes ("Subscription Fee"). A La Carte Services are billed based on usage or volume, and by using them, you agree to pay the fees and taxes incurred at the time of service ("A La Carte Fees"). Together, these are referred to as "Paid Service Fees." For further details, please refer to our Payment Terms.
Generally, Paid Service Fees can be settled via debit or credit card, or deducted from your transaction proceeds. Note, however, that payments for hardware-related services can only be made through debit or credit card. By linking a debit or credit card to your account, you authorize us to collect any Paid Service Fees by charging your card or deducting them from your account. We also reserve the right to collect Paid Service Fees by drawing from your transaction proceeds, your account balance, or a linked bank account.
Subscription Fees are typically charged on the first of every month until the subscription is canceled, which you can do at any time via your Liaison Account settings. If you cancel, you'll retain access to the Subscription Service until the end of the current billing period, but you won't receive a refund for any charges already incurred. We may modify our Subscription Fee with thirty days' advance notice. Your continued use of the Subscription Services following such notice will indicate your acceptance of the new fee structure.
You are responsible for your own taxes. However, under certain laws, we may need to charge, remit, or report taxes related to Paid Services and provide specific information about you to tax authorities like the IRS.
The term "Tax" and "Taxes" refer to all current and future taxes, charges, fees, levies, or other assessments, including, but not limited to, income, telecommunications, value-added, goods and services taxes, stamp taxes or duties, and various other forms including excise, property, sales, withholding, and payroll taxes, imposed by any tax authority, domestic or foreign. This includes any penalties, interest, or additions related to these taxes.
Unless explicitly stated, all fees for Paid Services do not include any Taxes. You are responsible for identifying, calculating, collecting, and remitting all necessary Taxes related to your use of our Services. This responsibility extends to determining whether Taxes apply to your transactions, registering with the appropriate tax authorities where required, and handling all related tax obligations.
Liaison disclaims any liability for such Taxes, and you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Liaison harmless against any such Taxes and associated costs. It's important to note that we are not considered a marketplace facilitator or provider under any relevant tax laws, and you agree not to treat us as such in any tax filings or assessments.
In cases where we are required by law to charge Taxes on our Services, you must pay these unless you provide us with sufficient documentation to prove that you are exempt. Failure to provide accurate exemption documentation may result in your being liable for these Taxes, and you agree to indemnify and defend Liaison against any claims by tax authorities for incorrect or uncollected Taxes due to your failure to provide necessary documentation.
Liaison may need to report certain tax information to authorities or provide it to you based on your usage of the Services. You must provide necessary information for such reporting upon request and update it as required by law or during tax audits.
Liaison may deduct any applicable withholding Taxes or other Taxes from payments to you as required by law and remit these to the relevant tax authority on your behalf. Any such deducted amounts will be considered as paid to you for all intents and purposes under these Terms.
Please be aware that Liaison does not provide tax advice. For tax-related questions or issues concerning the Services or these Terms, you should consult with your own tax or legal advisor.
Liaison's Platform imposes Fees in relation to its use.
For obtaining specific services on the Platform, including receiving contacts, bookings, or payments from Consumers or others, Service Professionals may pay Fees to Liaison. If Consumers or other individuals contact or book you about a Pro Service that aligns with your targeting preferences, Liaison will automatically charge the payment method stored on your account. Fees might also be charged to your stored payment method or deducted from your Liaison balance for other reasons, such as cancellation fees or specific services based on prior agreements. Fees can also be subtracted from the total amount that a Consumer pays for a particular Pro Service. You must keep at least one valid payment method on file to use Liaison, in accordance with our Stored Payment Terms and Conditions. You may also need to establish a weekly spending limit or Budget, as detailed below, and except as specified in our Refund Policy, all sales and Fees are final and non-refundable on Liaison.
As a Service Professional, Liaison may mandate that you establish one or more weekly spending limits (referred to as "Budgets") for specific Fees over a certain time frame ("Budget Period"). The types of leads or Fees that apply to your Budget will be made known to you when you set it. Liaison may charge your stored payment method beyond your Budget for Fees not included in your Budget or if you permit Liaison to do so. Your Budget isn’t a subscription and isn’t charged upfront. You'll be charged Fees, and the ones covered by a Budget will not go over your stated Budget without your consent. Although Liaison may provide an estimate of the number of Consumers who might contact you, there are no guarantees, and actual outcomes may differ.
The duration of the Budget Period is identified when you set your Budget. It remains the same within that Budget Period but can be altered for future ones. If the length changes, you can adjust your Budget, or Liaison will automatically do it for you. For example, a one-week $50 Budget will be automatically adjusted to $100 for a two-week period if you don't manually change it. Changes can be made to your Budget at any time, even mid-Budget Period, and if you don't alter it prior to the next Budget Period, the existing one will automatically carry over.
For Service Professionals using Liaison, charges can happen at various points:
If You Are New to Liaison: If you lack sufficient purchasing history, your payment method will be charged every time a Consumer contacts or books you and your Liaison balance isn't sufficient.
If You Have a Sufficient Purchasing History: Liaison may periodically charge your payment method for total Fees when you are contacted by Consumers. Liaison might adjust the frequency of charges, which may not align with the Budget Period.
There might also be services with different payment timings.
For typical charges, Liaison will try the default payment method first. If unsuccessful, Liaison may attempt other associated payment methods. If details change, your provider may update us, and we may use the new information to prevent Pro Services interruption.
Penalty Fees might be charged by Liaison for issues like fraud, misconduct, late payment, or other Term violations. Some penalty Fees, like cancellation Fees, are also disclosed directly in the Platform.
Regardless of an active Account, you must pay all applicable Fees. If unpaid, Liaison has the right to recover payment and possibly terminate or suspend your Account. Any communication about unpaid Fees will be electronic.
Taxes might be exclusive of the required payments by these Terms. Some jurisdictions might require us to collect Taxes in connection with the Pro Services, which you will bear. Liaison can determine your tax jurisdiction as needed, and you will pay taxes to Liaison if they are included in an invoice. You also understand that you are responsible for your tax obligations and must consult your own tax advisers, as we don't provide specific tax advice to either Service Professionals or Consumers.
When you supply Liaison with your payment method information, you are giving consent to Liaison to keep this information as your "Stored Payment Method." The complete and full terms of the "Liaison Agreements," which include Liaison's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, are applicable to these Terms and Conditions. The Liaison Agreements, or any other agreement you have made with Liaison, will dictate how your Stored Payment Method is used, stored, and disclosed. Any terms that are not defined in this context will have the meanings that are ascribed to them in the Liaison Agreements.
Your agreement with Liaison regarding the Stored Payment Method remains in effect indefinitely unless you ask for the deletion of this information. If you request the removal of your Stored Payment Method, you will not be able to pay for Pro Services or appear in the search results for Pro Services on Liaison since all Service Professionals must have a Stored Payment Method on their accounts to utilize Liaison. The only exception to this would be if you choose to add a new payment method to your account.
"Liaison Advertising" or "Liaison Ads" refers to a continuous advertising subscription that places you at the forefront of Liaison's directory pages, promotes you in search engines and social networks, and is available on some sites. When consumers look for Service Professionals, explore questions asked by other consumers, or read professional articles authored by Service Professionals, your advertisement appears at the top. We may also advertise your business in Google, Facebook, and other major ad platforms. Liaison Advertising may provide options for personalizing your ad message, displaying various ways to contact you, and showcasing profile details not shown in Liaison's standard directory listings.
A tracking phone number may be allocated by Liaison to your Liaison Advertising to monitor your analytics.
Your Liaison Advertising will be highlighted for inquiries that align with the practice areas and locations you've agreed to. The geographic position is defined by the location entered during the search and/or any available geographic information from where the search started.
We make every effort to fulfill the demand for Liaison Advertising, but there might be occasions when advertising in your region is fully booked. In such cases, your subscription will be backordered until space opens up, and we will process backorders on a first-come, first-served principle. This backordered subscription will reserve your spot in the advertising queue, and your Liaison Advertising subscription fee will only be charged once your subscription is active.
While your subscription is active, you authorize us to advertise on behalf of your business on Google, Facebook, and other advertising platforms. We reserve the right to use your business name, logo, photos, and any other information about your business obtained from your profile in our advertisements. This authorization is required to efficiently drive customers to your business. You agree to not hold us liable for any claims, damages, or losses resulting from or related to such advertisements.

Liaison, Inc. disclaims and makes no other representation or warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement, accuracy, absence of omissions, completeness, currentness, delays, or fitness for a particular purpose.

These Terms of Service govern each booking made through the Liaison Platform, including online booking services or ordering products.
Please review these Terms of Service carefully before using the Liaison Appointment Services. We retain the right to modify these Terms of Service periodically by updating them on this page. Any alterations will be applicable to your subsequent Appointment/Order, so it's advisable to check this page frequently. If you disagree with any changes, refrain from making an Appointment/Order.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Liaison assumes no liability or responsibility for the quality, safety, or delivery of the products or services provided through the Liaison Booking Services or Liaison Store. The responsibility for the services offered to clients rests solely with the Partner. Further details regarding Liaison 's liability towards the Partner are outlined in the Indemnity section of this Agreement.
When capitalized words or phrases are used in these Terms of Service, they carry specific meanings:
Liaison operates as a platform connecting users like you with our Partners who offer various products and services. Through the Liaison Platform, you can schedule Appointments for Partner Services or place Orders for Products directly. It's important to note that Liaison doesn't own or operate any Partner establishments, provide Partner Services, or fulfill Orders for Products.
When you use the Liaison Services, you're entering into a contract with Liaison. However, your contract for the Partner Services is solely between you and the Partner offering those services.
Liaison serves as an intermediary, facilitating the arrangement and conclusion of your Appointments/Orders with our Partners. When you make a payment for an Appointment/Order through the Liaison Platform, we receive the payment as a commercial agent on behalf of the respective Partner. This payment discharge your debt to the Partner for that particular Appointment/Order. Please note that this arrangement doesn't apply to any Pay In-Store Service where payment is made directly at the Partner's premises.
When you use the Liaison Platform to book or order any Partner Services or Products, you're also entering into a contract directly with the relevant Partner, which includes adhering to any Partner Terms of Sale.
The Partner's provision of Partner Services and fulfillment of any Appointments/Orders are governed by the Partner Contract you establish with them. Liaison is not a party to this contract between you and the Partner.
Our Partners are obligated to deliver Partner Services as outlined in the applicable Partner Contract, including any Partner Terms of Sale. We require Partners to ensure that all information provided on the Liaison Platform is accurate, complete, and not misleading. However, we cannot independently verify the information provided by Partners. It's the responsibility of each Partner to ensure that their listed Partner Services are available and accurately described. Please note that the descriptions and/or images of Partner Services on the Liaison Platform are for illustrative purposes only, and actual services may vary.
As a consumer, you have legal rights concerning services that are not performed with reasonable care and skill or are not as described. These rights are protected by consumer protection laws. If you have concerns about the services you receive from a Partner, you may seek advice from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or trading standards office. These legal rights are in addition to any rights or protections provided by these Terms of Service and will not be affected by them.
To use the Liaison Platform for making Appointments/Orders, you have the option to check out as a guest or create a Liaison Account by signing up and providing certain information such as your name, mobile telephone number, payment details, and a password of your choice.
It's essential to provide accurate and complete information to Liaison and keep it updated through the Liaison Platform. We may verify the information you provide and reserve the right to refuse the use of Liaison Services or the Liaison Platform if inaccurate or incomplete information is provided, without specifying reasons.
Here are some tips to make the most of your experience with Liaison:
Contact Partners directly: Each Partner Profile includes their contact information, enabling you to communicate directly with them. You can also reach out to our support team.
Read the Partner Contract: Partners may have specific terms regarding deposits, cancellations, refunds, taxes, or other matters. Look for links to these terms on the Partner Profile and read them carefully.
Check out safely: Our Liaison Payment Services are designed to ensure a secure online payment experience. Look for the "https://" at the beginning of the checkout link to confirm its security.
Research independently: Check reviews on Liaison and other trusted review sites to gauge the quality of a Partner's products or services.
It's your responsibility (or the recipient's responsibility) to communicate any medical or health-related conditions or special needs to the Partner that may affect or be affected by the Partner Services. This includes providing allergy information and other health details. Failure to disclose such information may result in neither Liaison nor the Partner being liable for any resulting injury, loss, or damages that could have been avoided with proper disclosure.
In connection with your use of Liaison Services, we may send you electronic service messages for various reasons, including security purposes and updates related to your Appointments/Orders. By using Liaison Services, you consent to receive automated text messages from Liaison and its Partners at the phone number you provided during registration. These messages may include promotional content and information about your account and Appointments/Orders. You can manage your preferences for receiving automated messages within your personal profile settings.
For more information on how we handle your personal information and about promotional and marketing messages, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
The Liaison Platform allows you to browse and select the Partner Services you wish to receive and proceed to make an Appointment/Order for those services. Before confirming your Appointment/Order, you have the opportunity to review and correct any errors. We ensure that any relevant Partner Terms of Sale, including Deposit Policy, Cancellation Policy, or No Show Policy, are disclosed to you before you confirm your Appointment/Order. It's important to carefully review all details of your Appointment/Order and any applicable Partner Terms of Sale before confirming.
Once you make an Appointment/Order, we, acting as the commercial agent of the Partner, will forward your request to the Partner. The formation of the Partner Contract occurs when we send you a Confirmation. Please note that all Partner Services listed on the Liaison Platform are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to accept or reject each Appointment/Order on behalf of the Partner. Your Confirmation serves as a receipt from Liaison and will be sent to the contact information provided in your Liaison Account, either via email or SMS, upon confirming an Appointment/Order. If you require a tax receipt, you must contact the Partner directly for assistance.
When you schedule an appointment, it's essential to arrive at the Partner's place of business as indicated in the Partner Terms of Sale in order to receive the Partner Services.
Partners have the option to issue Partner Vouchers that can be redeemed for Partner Services, or they may offer you the opportunity to purchase Partner Vouchers for later use. The availability and terms of these Partner Vouchers are determined by the Partner.
If you choose to purchase a Partner Voucher, you will be subject to any Partner Terms of Sale provided to you at the time of purchase. The provision and redemption of Partner Vouchers are governed by the Partner Contract, including any specific terms outlined in the Partner Terms of Sale. It's important to note that Liaison is not a party to the Partner Contract between you and the Partner, and therefore, we are not responsible for Partner Vouchers.
Unless otherwise specified in the offer terms, the Partner reserves the right to withdraw or modify any offer at any time, except in cases where you have already placed an order for an Appointment/Order based on the offer and we have sent a confirmation notice.
Partners have the discretion to issue Promo Codes, which can be used by clients when purchasing Partner Services. However, Partners reserve the right to withdraw Promo Codes at any time, especially if they are used fraudulently, cause technical issues, or are tampered with.
If a Promo Code is designated as personal to you, it should not be shared with any third party. However, if Promo Codes are made publicly available, you are permitted to share them with third parties. Should the Partner or Liaison reasonably believe that a Promo Code has been shared or misused, they reserve the right to cancel such Promo Codes.
It's important to note that the Partner sets the terms of any Promo Codes and is responsible for fulfilling the Partner Services associated with them. Liaison does not assume responsibility for any Promo Codes issued by our Partners.
Prices for Appointments and Orders are displayed on the Liaison Platform, including any delivery or processing charges. However, the final price for an Appointment may be adjusted to include additional goods or services purchased from the Partner at the time of receiving the Partner Services. Partners may also offer discounts, which will be reflected in the final amount payable.
If you choose to tip the Partner for your Appointment, you'll be given the option to do so via a notification on the Liaison Platform following your Appointment. Tipping is entirely at your discretion and is in addition to the purchase price for the Appointment. Liaison collects payment on behalf of the Partner, and the tips are considered a direct payment from you to the Partner. Your name will be shared with the Partner when the tip is notified. The Partner will receive 100% of any tip payment you choose to make, subject to payment processing fees.
When making payments for Partner services, you agree to provide Liaison with a valid payment method and to pay for all Partner Services purchased. Payment can be made via the Liaison Payment Services or directly with the Partner as a Pay In-Store Service.
If you use the Liaison Payment Services, Liaison will charge you on behalf of the Partner for the total amount of your Appointment/Order, including taxes and additional fees. Your payment to Liaison discharges your debt to the Partner for the relevant Appointment/Order. Currency conversion costs or other charges incurred are borne by you in addition to the payment made to Liaison.
Alternatively, you may choose the Pay In-Store Service option, where you make an Appointment/Order without using Liaison Payment Services and pay the Partner directly. The Partner may have the option to charge your payment method saved to the Liaison Account at checkout for Pay In-Store Services. This option is available based on the Partner's preferences and may not be offered by all Partners.
Liaison utilizes a third-party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to link the payment card you provide to the Liaison Platform. The processing of payments or credits related to your use of the Liaison Platform is subject to the privacy policies, terms and conditions, and other terms of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer, in addition to these Terms of Service.
While Liaison takes reasonable care to ensure the availability and functionality of the Liaison Payment Services, we cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or secure access to these services, nor can we guarantee that the facility is free from viruses or errors. Liaison is not responsible for any errors made by the Payment Processor. Occasionally, access to Payment Processing may be restricted for repairs, maintenance, or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of any scheduled interruptions and restore the facility as soon as possible.
The Partner is responsible for any indirect taxes, such as sales tax, VAT, GST, or service tax, on the total value of an Appointment/Order, including any adjustments for additional goods or services sold or discounts applied. Apart from VAT or other applicable sales taxes included in the price shown on the Liaison Platform, Liaison does not charge taxes on Orders, as the Partner Services are provided by the Partner. If you order through the Liaison Platform, we will provide a tax invoice. If you order directly from a Partner, the Partner will provide a tax invoice upon request.
All Products in an Order are subject to taxes, with the highest applicable Product tax applied for shipping, if relevant. If Products within an Order have different tax rates, the highest tax rate will apply to all Products in that Order.
If you need to reschedule your Appointment after receiving a Confirmation, you can do so through the Liaison Platform or by contacting the Partner directly. However, rescheduling may only be possible within a timeframe specified by the Partner in their Terms of Sale, which will be disclosed to you at the time of booking. Please review the Cancellation Policy before confirming your Appointment, as it may affect your ability to reschedule. Keep in mind that rescheduling is subject to the Partner's availability.
Partners may require a deposit, known as Partner Credits, to confirm your Appointment. This deposit can be up to 100% of the Appointment's value and is governed by the Partner Contract, including any Deposit Policy. Before completing the Appointment, we recommend reviewing the Partner Contract to understand any deposit requirements. Please note that deposits may be non-refundable, and Liaison is not liable for any deposits made to a Partner.
If you need to cancel your Appointment, you can do so through the Liaison Platform or by contacting the Partner directly. However, cancellation through the Liaison Platform is only possible if it falls outside the timeframe specified by the Partner in their Terms of Sale. The timeframe for cancellation will vary depending on the Partner and will be disclosed to you when you make your Appointment.
Partners may have a Cancellation Policy in place, which will be presented to you at the time of booking. If a Cancellation Policy is in effect, Liaison may charge your card according to the Partner's terms, which could be up to the full amount of the Appointment. If you cancel beyond the specified timeframe in the Partner's Cancellation Policy, you may not be entitled to any refund unless agreed upon directly with the Partner.
Additionally, Partners may have a No Show Policy. If you fail to attend your Appointment without notice, the Partner may choose to enforce their No Show Policy, resulting in a charge of up to the full amount of the Appointment to your card.
Please note that no refund will be provided if a cancellation is attempted within the timeframe specified by the Partner's Cancellation Policy.
When you purchase products from our Partners through the Liaison Platform, you are buying directly from the Partner, not from Liaison. Our Partners are responsible for all aspects of the sale, including marketing, advertising, delivery, and any post-sale support.
If you encounter any issues with a product, such as dissatisfaction, defects, or delays, you should contact the Partner who sold the product directly. Below, we outline the cancellation and refund policies provided by Partners as a minimum standard.
Product Delivery:
Please note that the terms and conditions for product delivery may vary depending on the Partner.
If any product you order arrives damaged or faulty, the Partner may offer options such as repair, exchange, or refund, in accordance with your legal rights. If you believe a product was delivered in a damaged or faulty condition, you must notify the Partner in writing, providing details such as your name, delivery address, and order reference. It's important to note that this process does not affect your legal rights.
If you need assistance with a product order, please direct your inquiries to the relevant Partner who supplied the product. You can find the contact details for each Partner in the Confirmation or their Partner Profile within the Liaison Platform. They will be able to assist you further with any questions or concerns you may have about your product order.
Liaison retains the right to partially or fully restrict your access to the Liaison Services or Liaison Platform under certain circumstances, including but not limited to:
Additionally, since Partner Services are sold by our Partners and not directly by Liaison, Partners may impose additional restrictions on who can purchase and book their services. These restrictions may include:
These restrictions are determined solely by the Partners, and Liaison cannot override them to grant access to Partner Services.
Where Liaison has been negligent or breached a contractual obligation to you, we will be liable for any foreseeable loss or damage you suffer as a result. Loss or damage is considered foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our negligence or breach of contract, or if you and we would have reasonably anticipated it at the time you accepted these Terms of Service.
However, we do not accept liability for certain types of loss, even if they result from breach of contract, negligence, or other legal grounds. These types of loss include:
It's important to understand that we are not liable to you for the provision or non-provision of Partner Services and/or Products. The Partner with whom you have a contract is responsible for fulfilling all Partner Services and delivering Products under your agreement with them.
You agree to indemnify and hold Liaison (including its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, affiliated companies, and their staff members, contractors, agents, officers, and directors) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, including attorney's fees and costs, arising out of or related to:
Clients' use of the Liaison Platform is currently free of charge. However, Liaison reserves the right to introduce a fee for the use of the Liaison Platform in the future. If Liaison decides to implement such a fee, clients will be notified in advance and given the option to continue or discontinue using the Liaison services.
You may not assign your rights under these Terms of Service without prior written approval from Liaison.
Liaison may provide notices through general notices on the Liaison Platform, by email, or by post sent by regular mail.
The Terms of Service, along with any referenced documents, constitute the entire agreement between you and Liaison, governing your use of the Liaison Services, and supersede any prior versions of these Terms of Service.
Liaison's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. Both parties agree that the English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising from, or related to, the ordering and/or supply of Partner Services via the Liaison Platform.
In these Terms of Service, defined words in the singular retain the same definition in the plural, and vice versa. Masculine words include the feminine, and vice versa.
We reserve the right to update these Terms of Service periodically, and any changes will be posted on this page. Liaison may revise, modify, or replace any of these Terms of Service, or alter, suspend, or terminate the Liaison Services (including, but not limited to, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time.
Your continued use of the Liaison Platform after the posting of changes signifies your acceptance and agreement to the revised Terms of Service. As long as you adhere to these Terms of Service, Liaison grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited privilege to access and utilize the Liaison Platform.
Liaison reserves the right to impose restrictions on specific features and services, or limit your access to certain parts or the entirety of the Liaison Services without prior notice or liability. However, any modifications made will not affect any Bookings/Orders already placed.
On the Liaison platform, payments between Consumers and Service Professionals, known as "Marketplace Payments," may be carried out through Liaison's payment processing partner. However, Liaison is not involved as a party in these Marketplace Payments or any related Pro Services. Marketplace Payments are generally restricted to services only, with payments for tangible personal property being prohibited unless stated otherwise.
By accepting these terms or by continuing as a Service Professional on the Platform, you authorize Liaison to act on your behalf as your agent. This authorization is limited to facilitating and receiving Marketplace Payments as described here. You recognize and agree that once a Marketplace Payment is executed through the Liaison Platform, the obligation of the paying User is considered fulfilled by the receiving User when Liaison receives the Marketplace Payment. This is as if the paying User had made the payment directly to the receiving User, subject to any rights you might have concerning disputes over Marketplace Payments.
Liaison's role is not that of a direct provider or seller of professional services. Unless outlined in a separate contract where Liaison is an explicit party, the platform does not directly or indirectly provide or offer any professional services. When a Consumer books or pays for Pro Services or receives a quote related to Pro Services on the Platform, the Consumer is entering into a contract with the Service Professional who provides those services.
Despite facilitating the booking or payment process, you must recognize and agree that Liaison (i) neither offers, sells, supplies, nor subcontracts any Pro Services, and (ii) holds no liability concerning any Pro Services. The only exception is what's expressly covered in the Liaison Guarantee, which applies solely in connection with Liaison's role as a marketplace, not as a provider of Pro Services.
Regardless of Liaison's position as a payment facilitator, every Service Professional who gets paid through Marketplace Payments must acknowledge and agree to perform the Pro Service according to their agreement with the Consumer. They must also address any substantial deviations from the contract.
For those operating as Service Professionals on Liaison and receiving Marketplace Payments from Consumers, adherence to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement is mandatory, and this includes compliance with the Stripe Services Agreement. Prior to accepting a Marketplace Payment or committing to perform services, Service Professionals must ensure their ability to fulfill the Stripe agreements. A crucial note is that a social security number or employer identification number will be necessary to receive these payments.
By engaging as a Service Professional on Liaison, you signify your agreement to abide by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and Stripe Services Agreement, even if Stripe modifies these agreements over time. It is required that you furnish Liaison with precise and comprehensive information about yourself and your enterprise. You also permit Liaison to divulge this information, along with transaction details linked to the payment processing services supplied by Stripe. Furthermore, you consent to Liaison debiting your Stripe account if there are disagreements with Consumers.
Liaison holds the authority to execute such debits and to defer final disbursements until after a dispute investigation. Liaison's ultimate decision on disputes will be at their exclusive discretion. As a Service Professional, you should recognize that any Marketplace Payments you may accumulate on the Platform are liable to these resolutions. Also, you concur that Liaison may annul payments deposited into a Service Professional's Stripe Connected Account if a customer repayment or guarantee disbursement is justified, particularly if linked to conduct or inactivity that violates these Terms.
For Consumers partaking in Marketplace Payments through Stripe, your agreement is required to disburse all sums owed promptly with your chosen payment method. You are also authorizing Stripe to invoice your chosen payment method for owed amounts, be it for recurring or one-time fees. It is your responsibility to maintain the accuracy and current status of all payment information. Your agreement to our Stored Payment Terms and Conditions is implied when you record a payment method with us. It's vital not to distribute your payment card, bank account, or any other financial information with other Users.
Though measures are taken to safeguard all payment methods and personal financial details, we explicitly renounce any responsibility to you, and you consent to absolve us from any harm you might experience due to the unintended leakage of your personal financial information.
Through Liaison, you may have the option to conduct Marketplace Payments using various means such as credit, debit, or prepaid cards, linking to your bank account, or employing any other endorsed payment method. In our sole and absolute discretion, we retain the authority to revoke your privilege to execute payments using one or multiple authorized payment methods.
Should you opt for your bank account as the mechanism for Marketplace Payment, you provide authorization to Stripe for the execution of Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) deductions from said account. Additionally, you permit any inquiries deemed essential by us to authenticate any disputes related to payments made to us or another User. These inquiries may encompass ordering a credit report, conducting other credit assessments, or corroborating the information supplied by you with third-party databases. You sanction Liaison or our service provider to initiate one or more ACH debit entries or form an equivalent bank draft for the defined amount(s), and the bank holding your account is authorized by you to make such deductions. This includes the deduction of payments as stipulated in amounts and frequency in your Account, with this authorization persisting until you provide a written cancellation. Changes to your account details or the termination of your authorization must be communicated to us at least five days before your forthcoming payment.
Should the full payment not be processed simultaneously by us, partial debits from your bank account are hereby authorized by you, provided that they do not surpass the complete amount of your order. You consent to bear any ACH fees or penalties that either you or we may accrue in connection with the transactions you have approved. Based on your state of residence, these return fees will differ and may be added to your payment amount and deducted from your bank account if an ACH debit is resubmitted due to inadequate funds. We retain the right to initiate either a collection process or legal proceedings to recover any outstanding sums. You agree to cover all associated costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Any fraudulent, erroneous, or unauthorized transactions from your bank account are subject to federal law limitations on your liability. This is based on the promptness with which you report them to your financial institution, a deadline of no more than 60 days after the transaction in question appears on your bank account statement. Consult your bank to understand the procedures and regulations that govern unauthorized transactions and the limitations on your responsibilities.
Some sites offer the option to enroll in a monthly or yearly subscription for certain services.
During the Subscriber's Agreement Term with Liaison, the Subscriber is granted access to Products and Services, including: (i) a back-end that operates in the cloud, where it performs functions such as storing, analyzing, managing, distributing, and processing data; and (ii) front-end clients such as mobile applications, web interfaces, plugins, and system connectors, facilitating the retrieval, presentation, distribution, and management of various aspects of the Subscriber's business. Liaison's solutions enable the Subscriber to manage all relevant facets of their online marketing campaign in a singular location (the Liaison Platform) by utilizing these Products and Services. Some functionalities or access within the platform might necessitate a distinct Subscription or adherence to supplementary terms and conditions.
Below is an explanation of the capitalized terms as mentioned in the Agreement:
The Subscriber must ensure that their data (Subscriber Data) complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and does not infringe upon third-party intellectual property rights. The Subscriber is obligated to take reasonable measures to promptly identify and remove any Subscriber Data that violates these requirements. The Subscriber guarantees that their Data will not contain any Sensitive Personal Information and that all their activities regarding the collection, transfer, and use of any Personal Data processed through the Products and Services will adhere to relevant privacy laws, regulations, and self-regulatory guidelines. This compliance includes obtaining all necessary consents and making proper disclosures through the Subscriber's privacy policy to process any Personal Data with the Products and Services.
The Subscriber is responsible for (i) defending, at their own cost, and (ii) paying any damages awarded by a competent court (or agreed upon in a written settlement) related to third-party Claims that allege a breach by the Subscriber of applicable data protection laws and regulations. This responsibility includes failure to adhere to the Subscriber's own data privacy policy and the terms of the Agreement.
The Subscriber is obligated to pay Liaison the total amounts due according to the Agreement, with payments to be made in full on the specified due date(s). The Subscriber grants Liaison irrevocable permission to charge the provided credit card for all such amounts when they are due throughout the Term. Should the designated credit card account be canceled, replaced, renewed, lost, or stolen, the Subscriber agrees to notify Liaison in writing. All due amounts will be automatically charged in advance and are non-refundable. If the Subscriber fails to pay any Subscription Cost on any Liaison agreement, Liaison is not obligated to provide any Subscriptions.
Should Liaison suspend any Subscriptions due to non-payment by the Subscriber, the Subscriber consents to owing all amounts that would have been due for the rest of the Term of the suspended Subscriptions, as though they had not been suspended. In the event that Liaison does not receive payment on time for any amount owed under the Agreement, the Subscriber agrees to pay all amounts pursuant to the Agreement immediately upon request. Furthermore, the Subscriber will cover Liaison for any charges and fees incurred while collecting delinquent Subscription Cost(s). If there are any past due balances, the Subscriber may be charged up to the maximum legal interest rate, where such interest is deemed liquidated damages and not considered a penalty.
You have the option to add, change, remove, elevate, or reduce (Subscription Modification) specific Subscriptions through the Platform. When a Subscription Modification occurs, you grant us permission to charge the newly prorated amount for the existing Term and to invoice the total revised Subscription Cost for all merged Subscriptions going forward to the corresponding payment method connected with your account. It is essential to understand that reducing your plan might result in the loss of data, information, features, or other functionalities tied to your account, and it may also lead to a re-evaluation of your projected future growth metrics. All risks associated with downgrading any service are yours, and you absolve Liaison from any responsibility or outcomes linked to it. In certain instances, Liaison may introduce, alter, phase out, decrease, or eliminate particular features and functionalities, but such modifications will not substantially negatively affect the Subscriber's utilization of the Products and Services. If such changes occur, the Subscriber's only recourse is to notify the termination of the concerned Subscription within thirty (30) days from the notice of alteration.
Occasionally, Liaison might introduce features or services that are governed by distinct terms and possibly additional charges. You may not utilize these extra features and services unless you accept the relevant terms. Liaison might also grant access to subscriptions, features, or services identified as beta or pre-release. You recognize that these services are still under development and may contain bugs or errors, be incomplete, undergo significant alterations before full commercial release, or may never be commercially launched. Notwithstanding any other clause of this Agreement, any utilization or reliance on beta or pre-release subscriptions, features, or services is at the Subscriber's risk and provided on an "as-is" basis without any warranty, and Liaison's indemnity Section herein does not apply to such beta or pre-release features or services.
The Subscriber recognizes that various factors influence search outcomes, search engine positions, and advertising outcomes. Liaison makes no commitments or guarantees regarding the position, placement, or rank of the Website or advertisement within any search engine or advertising network channel. No representations, warranties, or guarantees concerning the Subscriptions' results or performance, such as the Internet traffic's quality or quantity, or the business or revenue that the Subscriptions may generate, have been made by Liaison to the Subscriber. Liaison may utilize collective data from all Subscribers to generate audience insights, which might be applied for general advertising and possible consumer profiling. Additionally, the Subscriber explicitly affirms that they are not depending on anything (whether conveyed in writing or verbally) beyond the terms stipulated in this written agreement.
Exclusively, Liaison owns the Technology and any enhancements to it, regardless of whether they are developed under this Agreement ("Liaison Proprietary Data"). The Subscriber will neither acquire an ownership stake due to this Agreement nor attempt to obtain any Liaison Proprietary Data. On the other hand, Subscriber Data remains the sole property of the Subscriber. It is clearly understood that the Subscriber will never possess any rights, title, viewing privileges, or ownership of any aspect of Machine Learning Advertising and/or SAM.
Neither party will, during the Term and thereafter, disclose, utilize, or furnish the other's confidential information and/or property to a third party, except as specifically outlined in this Agreement or as required for the Parties to fulfill their duties or assert or uphold their rights under this Agreement. Additionally, the Subscriber will never gain any rights, title, or ownership over any portion of the Products and Services.
We have established a privacy policy covering the collection, use, and disclosure of user information, which can be found here.
Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer rights notice: If you have a question or complaint regarding the site, please contact us. California residents may reach the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services by mail at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210. Please be sure to identify the specific website, software, or service about which you have a question or complaint and how we can contact you.
We believe we will be able to resolve most disputes or issues you may have using our sites and services. In the unlikely event we are not able to resolve a dispute or issue, we prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. Accordingly, you agree to the following resolution process.
Since we always prefer to find ways to satisfy you as quickly and efficiently as possible, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with us for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by email and mail to us at: Liaison, Inc 1301 San Bernard St., Austin, TX 78702, U.S.A, Attn: Legal Department.
If we are unable to mutually agree upon a resolution after the 30-day period, you agree that any claim you may have against us regarding these TOU or our sites and services will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS and governed by the then current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. It is important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. To help us do that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived.
We prefer to resolve our issues with you directly and, accordingly, you agree to arbitrate with us only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there will be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative.
You agree that arbitration will be exclusively held in Harris County, Texas and that each party will be responsible for its own costs, including paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. In order to select an arbitrator, each party agrees to provide a list of two available arbitrators that have experience with the subject matter. Each party may strike one of the names on the other party's list. The parties will select an arbitrator out of the remaining two arbitrator names. If the parties cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, JAMS will choose the arbitrator randomly from the two remaining arbitrators. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you're not sure what all of this means, of course please feel free to ask an attorney.
Both parties recognize that without this obligatory arbitration clause, they would possess the right to take legal action in court and to request a jury trial. They also comprehend that there might be cases where the expenses related to arbitration could surpass those of pursuing litigation, and that the opportunity to obtain discovery might be more restricted in arbitration compared to a court proceeding.
Class Action Waiver: Both parties agree that the arbitration will proceed solely on an individual basis and not in any class or representative action. The right to initiate or participate in a class action or any other representative action is expressly waived by the parties. YOU AND LIAISON CONCUR THAT CLAIMS CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY ALLEGED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE LEGAL PROCEEDING. Should a court or arbitrator find the class action waiver in this paragraph to be void or unenforceable for any reason, or if it is determined that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entire arbitration agreement outlined above will be considered null and void, and the parties will be regarded as having not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exception: Claims Concerning Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Cases: Despite the mutual agreement of the parties to settle all disputes via arbitration, either party has the right to bring enforcement actions, validity assessments, or claims stemming from theft, piracy, or unauthorized exploitation of intellectual property in state or federal court, or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to safeguard their or our intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights'' here refer to patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, trade dress, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). For disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction, either party may also pursue remedies in a small claims court.
Right to Opt Out Within 30 Days: The right to opt out and not be subject to the arbitration and class action waiver stipulations mentioned above is yours. By sending a written notice of your decision to opt out (from the email address associated with your Liaison account) with the subject line "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT," you can exercise this right. The notice has to be dispatched within thirty (30) days of either the Effective Date of these Terms or your initial use of the Platform; failing to do so means you will be obliged to settle disputes following the conditions of those paragraphs. If you choose to opt out of these arbitration terms, Liaison will also not be bound by them.
Survival: The provisions within this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall continue to be effective even after the termination of your Account or the Platform.
Governing Law
All aspects of the relationship between you and Liaison, as well as the Terms, will be governed by the laws of Texas, without considering its conflict of law principles. Any claims or disputes against Liaison that are not destined for arbitration must be addressed in a court situated in Travis County, Texas, or a United States District Court in the Western District of Texas, based in Austin, Texas, unless the parties agree otherwise. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts in Travis County or the Western District of Texas for the purpose of litigating any such claims or disputes not going to arbitration. You willingly renounce any jurisdictional and venue defenses that might otherwise be available to you.
