1. The Mopify Platform is Solely a Tool for Communications; Background Checks
a) The Mopify Platform is Solely a Tool for Communications. The Mopify Platform is a communications platform for facilitating the connection between individuals seeking to obtain services ("Service Requester") and/or individuals seeking to provide services ("Service Provider"). Service Requesters and Service Providers together are referred to as "Platform Users". Those certain services requested by the Service Requesters, which are to be completed by the Service Providers, are hereinafter referred to as "Professional Services". The provision of all Professional Services is up to the Service Providers, which may be scheduled through the use of the Mopify Platform. Mopify, through the Mopify Platform, provides information and a method to obtain such Professional Services, but does not -- and does not intend to provide -- such Professional Services itself or act in any way as a cleaning service provider, and has no responsibility or liability for any Professional Services provided to the Service Requester by Service Providers, including, but not limited to, a warranty or condition of good and workmanlike services, warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or compliance with any law, regulation, or code.
b) Background Checks. Mopify checks the backgrounds of Service Providers via third-party background check services to the extent permitted by applicable law. However, each Service Requester should exercise caution and common sense to protect its personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with any person whom you do not know. By using the Mopify Platform, the Service Requester agrees to hold Mopify free from the responsibility for any liability or damage that might arise out of the Professional Services. Mopify is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any Platform User including Service Providers, and will not be liable in any claim, injury or damage arising in connection with any Professional Services.
2. Personal Information; User Accounts
a) Collection of your Personal Information. Some of the content on the Mopify Platform may require prior registration to access. If you decide to access such content, you will be required to register. We may refuse to grant you, and you may not use, an email address, user name, or screen name that is already being used by someone else; that may be construed as impersonating another person; that belongs to another person; that violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person; that is offensive; or that we reject for any other reason in our sole discretion. When you complete a registration on the Mopify Platform, you will be required to provide certain personal information. You agree that such information will be true, accurate and complete, and that you will update this information promptly when it changes. If you provide any information that is untrue or inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Mopify may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your right to access any material for which registration is required. Any personally identifiable information collected, used, and disclosed hereunder will be subject to the terms of the Privacy Policy.
b) Account, Password, and Security. You are the sole authorized user of your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any username, password, and account provided by you or us for accessing the Mopify Platform. You are solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account, except that Mopify may, in certain circumstances, access your account to make changes that you request, such as rescheduling a Service appointment. Mopify has no control over the use of any Platform User's account by the Platform User or third parties and expressly disclaims any liability derived therefrom. Should you suspect that any unauthorized party may be using your password or account or you suspect any other breach of security, you must contact us immediately at support@mopify.com. Nothing in this section shall affect Mopify's rights to limit or terminate the use of the Mopify Platform, as provided below in Section 4(b).
c) Proof of Identity. You will provide Mopify with such proof of identity as may be reasonably requested from time to time.
d) Text Messages and Phone Calls. By providing your phone number and using the Mopify Platform, you agree that we may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, use your mobile phone number for phone calls, and if such phone number is a mobile number, for text (SMS) purposes, in order to assist with facilitating the requested Professional Services. Standard call or text message charges and other charges from your phone carrier may apply to calls or text (SMS) messages Mopify sends you. You also agree and acknowledge that Mopify may store records of all phone calls and/or texts (SMS) that are routed through the Mopify Platform.
e) Emails. Mopify may send you transactional emails regarding the Professional Services and other promotional opportunities that Mopify thinks may interest you ("Promotional Emails"). You may unsubscribe from Promotional Emails at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in the actual email, or by visiting your Mopify Platform Dashboard and opting-out in your account settings, or by contacting us directly with your unsubscribe request.
3. Payments, Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee, Claims
a) Payments. Mopify Platform Users contract for Professional Services directly with other Platform Users. Mopify is not a party to any contracts for Professional Services. The Mopify Platform facilitates these contracts by supplying a channel through which Service Requesters can connect with Service Providers, schedule Professional Services, and make payments for Professional Services ("Payments"). Service Requesters do not pay for Professional Services until such time as Professional Services have been rendered by Service Provider. Mopify will charge the Service Requester's credit card according to the amount the Service Requester has agreed on the Mopify Platform with respect to all Professional Services the Service Requester has ordered, and for all purchases and payments for reimbursement costs, fees or expenses associated with Professional Service. The Service Requester hereby authorizes Mopify to charge the credit card on file in the Service Requester's Mopify Platform account for such amounts. Mopify uses third-party services to process credit card information. By accepting this Agreement, you are giving Mopify (or a third-party processor on Mopify's behalf) permission to charge your on-file credit card, credit debit card, or other approved methods of payment for fees that you owe Mopify. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction or interaction with the Professional Services must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, credit debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with Mopify at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. Mopify retains the right, in its sole discretion, to place a hold on Service Requester's credit card for an ordered or completed Professional Service transaction, or to verify the validity of a newly-entered credit card on the Mopify Platform. If the Service Requester has agreed with the Service Provider to extend or reduce the hours in or to reschedule a requested Professional Service, the Service Requester bears the responsibility for notifying Mopify before such time as the Professional Service is completed. Service Requesters must notify Mopify either by changing the date or hours of the requested Professional Service through the Mopify Platform or by contacting Mopify Support at support@mopify.com. All Payments by Service Requesters must be made through the Mopify Platform. Any Payments paid outside of the Mopify Platform are not subject to our Satisfaction Guarantee in section 3(c). Except for the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee in Section 3(c), and the Refund Policy in Section 3(d), no refunds or credits will be provided once the Service Requester's card has been charged, except that at Mopify's sole discretion, refunds or credits may be granted in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific promotions, or to correct any errors made by Mopify. While Mopify will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all credit card and all other personal information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any damage that may result should any information be released to any third parties, and you agree to hold Mopify harmless for any damages that may result therefrom. Service Requesters will be liable for all transaction taxes on the Professional Services provided (other than taxes based on Mopify's income).
b) Job Rate. The rate per hour for a Professional Service ("Job Rate") depends on factors, such as location and frequency of service, and payment terms may increase. As such, the same Professional Service may cost more in a different location or if the Professional Service is ordered less frequently.
c) Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee.
i. The Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee is available to Service Requesters and is the sole liability of Mopify to Service Requesters for the performance of Professional Services. If you are not satisfied with the quality of the initial Professional Service requested and paid for through the Mopify Platform, then Mopify will send another Service Provider to re-perform the Professional Service ordered at no extra charge to the Service Requester or Mopify will credit Service Requester's account the equivalent of two hours worth of Professional Service, at the Job Rate of the Professional Service appointment in question.
ii. The Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee also provides certain limited additional protections. Pursuant to the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee and subject to the below conditions and limitations, Mopify will compensate Service Requesters:
(a) up to CAD $20,000 per occurrence for losses arising from property damage as a direct result of negligence of a Service Provider during performance of a Professional Service; or (b) Service Requesters up to CAD $5,000 for losses arising from theft of a Service Requester's property during performance of a Professional Service, upon criminal conviction and with proof of ownership of the stolen item. The Service Requester is eligible for the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee provided that the Service Requester report the issue within forty-eight (48) hours of the Professional Service appointment.
iii. Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee - Conditions & Exclusions; Your Primary Insurance. If Service Requester carries insurance that would cover Service Requester in the event of a claim, such as renter's insurance, homeowner's insurance, automobile insurance or an umbrella policy ("Personal Insurance"), Service Requester agrees that Service Requester's Personal Insurance is primary and the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee is secondary. The Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee will only compensate for losses to the extent not otherwise covered by Service Requester's Personal Insurance.
iv. Coverage Under the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee. A Service Requester will be covered under the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee for every Professional Service, subject to the exclusions below, provided:
The Professional Service is agreed to between a Service Requester and a Service Provider through the Mopify Platform, performed by the Service Provider hired by the Service Requester and paid for in full through the Mopify Platform;
Your Booking of Professional Service does not violate Mopify's Terms of Use;
You have reported your claim within 48 hours of the completion of the Professional Service; and
Your Mopify account is in good standing with no outstanding balances owed to Mopify or Service Providers.
v. Exclusions from the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee. The Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee does not cover the following:
losses arising out of acts of nature, including, but not limited to, pollution, earthquakes and weather related events such as hurricanes and tornadoes;
losses arising out of interruption of business, loss of market, loss of income and/or loss of use;
losses for property damage and theft exceeding the original value and/or replacement value for such property, less any standard depreciation;
losses arising from negligence of a Service Requester or third party;
losses from pre-existing damages or conditions of the item or property;
losses arising from items supplied by the Service Requester or due to Service Requester recommendations;
losses arising from flooding and/or water damage including mold, fungi or bacteria;
losses arising from products containing hazardous or harmful materials, acts of terrorism, product liability, or pollution;
losses of cash, third party gift cards and securities;
losses as a result of theft of property in excess of CAD $5,000 or any other intentional wrongful act by a Service Provider;
losses arising from normal wear and tear;
losses for items that retain their functionality;
losses based on sentimental and/or undocumented intangible value;
losses related to repairs outside of the area where the Professional Services were performed;
losses of pets, personal liability or damage to shared or common areas;
losses of theft without a valid police report, if requested by Mopify; and losses with insufficient documentation.
vi. How to submit a claim. First report of a claim must be made 48 hours after Professional Services have been rendered. All claims will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. During Mopify's claims assessment process, You may be required to provide written and detailed:
(a) proof of ownership of damaged/missing item
(b) proof of value of damaged/missing item
(c) proof of damage or loss. This may be requested in the form of photographs of the damage or loss. If such information is requested, You will have 30 days from the date of the request to send Mopify the requested information. If You fail to provide the requested information within the 30 day time period and/or fail to contact Mopify to arrange for an extension of time, You agree and acknowledge that your claim will be considered closed.
Furthermore, You also agree to:
(a) protect and preserve any damaged property that is the basis of a claim from further damage, (b) in the event damaged item is to be replaced, return original damaged item to Mopify, (c) assist and allow Mopify or its insurers access to inspect and make copies, photographs and recordings of anything relating to the claim, (d) accept repairs and/or remediation by a Service Provider, (e) accept a replacement only if repairs are proven not to be an option, (f) submit requested materials by the dates outlined by the Mopify resolutions team, and (g) accept a replacement item subject to the standard depreciation of that item.
If any part of Your claim is approved, then as a condition to any payment to You under the Mopify Satisfaction Guarantee, You will be required to execute and deliver to Mopify a release agreement and assign to Mopify or its insurer any rights and remedies you may have to recover amounts paid to you with respect to an approved claim from any party that is financially responsible for the approve claims and any rights in any property that is recovered.
4. Term and Termination; Cancellation of Professional Services; Survival.
a) Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until such time as it is terminated by you or by us.
b) Termination by Mopify. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may terminate this Agreement or terminate or suspend your right to use the Mopify Platform at any time for any or no reason (including, without limitation, in the event that we believe that you have breached this Agreement or any policy posted on the Mopify Platform, or if we otherwise find that you have engaged in inappropriate and/or offensive behaviour (collectively, "Prohibited Conduct")) by providing you with written or email notice of such termination to the physical or email address you have provided us, and termination will be effective immediately upon such notice. If Mopify terminates or suspends your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name or email address, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party.

If you attempt to terminate this Agreement while there are still outstanding Professional Services ordered under your password or account, this Agreement shall not terminate until such Professional Services have been performed or otherwise canceled as permitted by Mopify.
d) Policy for Service Cancellation by Service Requester. Mopify's cancellation policy is as follows: Service Requesters may cancel their scheduled Professional Service appointments through the Mopify Platform at any time, subject to the following. If a Service Requester cancels more than 24 hours before a scheduled Professional Service appointment, there is no cancellation fee. If a Service Requester cancels between 1-24 hours before a scheduled Professional Service appointment, the Service Requester may be charged a CAD $20 cancellation fee, at Mopify's sole discretion. If Service Provider arrives at Service Requester's address at the scheduled time of a Professional Service appointment and is unable to access the home for reasons outside of Service Provider's control (a "Lockout"), the Service Requester may be charged a Lockout fee equivalent to whatever value is greater of one half the quoted fee for the Professional Service appointment or 2 hours worth of Professional Service at the quoted hourly rate associated with the Professional Service appointment, at Mopify's sole discretion. This cancellation policy applies for both one-time Professional Service bookings and for recurring Professional Service appointments. A Professional Service appointment may be cancelled through the Mopify Platform.
e) Policy for Service Cancellation by Service Provider. When a Service Provider cancels a scheduled Professional Service appointment, the Mopify Platform generally notifies the Service Requester and makes the Service Requester's Professional Service request available for another Service Provider to select. However, Mopify cannot guarantee that a canceled Professional Service appointment will be selected by another Service Provider and rescheduled or that the Professional Service request will be completed. Service Providers who cancel a scheduled Professional Service appointment may incur fees as provided in their Service Provider Agreement.
f) Survival. All provisions that should by their nature survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 6, 8 and 10-18, shall so survive.
