Effective Date: April 01, 2021

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A WAIVER OF CLASS-ACTION RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN SECTION 21.

 

Please read these Terms of Service (collectively with 1+1 Care’s Privacy Notice located at https://www.1plus1cares.com/privacy-policy, the “Terms of Service”) fully and carefully before using www.1plus1cares.com or mobile apps (the “Platform”) and the services, features, content, or applications offered by 1 Plus 1 Senior Care, Inc. dba 1+1 Cares, a domestic worker referral agency (“1+1”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (together with the Platform, the “Services”). These Terms of Service set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Platform and the Services.

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS.
    1. By registering for and/or using the Services in any manner, including but not limited to visiting, browsing, downloading, or installing the Platform, you agree to these Terms of Service (including, for clarity, the Privacy Notice) and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time-to-time on the Platform by us, each of which is incorporated by reference and each of which may be updated from time to time without notice to you.
    2. Certain of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified by us from time to time; your use of such Services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Service by this reference.
    3. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Services, including, without limitation, users who are contributors of content, information, and other materials or services, registered or otherwise.

 

  1. DISCLOSURES; DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES; LIMITATIONS.
    1. Description of Services. 1+1 is a referral agency. We offer various Services to help its users find, coordinate, and maintain quality non-medical domestic work and senior care (“Caregiving Services”). “Caregiving Services” may include, without limitation: general companionship and conversation, attendant care, respite care, personal grooming, hygienic care, medication reminders, light housekeeping, bathing assistance, meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, errands, transportation, escort to breakfast, lunch or dinner, answering telephones and greeting visitors, sorting mail, receiving home deliveries, and companionship at social or religious activities. 1+1 does not provide any tools to perform any care or other work. Instead, we provide the Platform and information to help individuals, Clients and Care Providers, make more informed decisions on choosing each other and coordinating what work is to be done, rate, and schedule among each other, collecting requirements with matching experience, filtering by preferences, direct Client and Care Provider rate negotiation, billing and settlement payments, schedule matching, and a communication platform.
    2. The Services. 1+1 offers include, among others:
      1. Basic:
        1. We conduct background checks on Care Providers and validate their eligibility to work in the United States.
        2. We enable Clients seeking Caregiving Services (such as individual or shared senior care, pet care, cooking, grocery shopping, and light housekeeping services) to post jobs on the Platform, and we enable individuals who provide Caregiving Services ("Care Providers") to post profiles on the Platform and apply to jobs offered by Clients.
        3. We provide search and browse functionality on the Platform to allow Clients and Care Providers to narrow the pool of Clients or Care Providers they are interested in meeting based on their respective needs, job duties, and preferences.
        4. We provide a communications platform to allow Clients and Care Providers to communicate without sharing personal contact information.
      2. Premium:
        1. We refer Clients and Care Providers to each other based on matching criteria and facilitate documenting the Client and Care Provider negotiation.
        2. We provide a la carte concierge services by finding, presenting, coordinating services or product purchases.
        3. Transition from Premium to Basic requires coordination and transition time and will take effect 5 business days after submission.
      3. Payment Processing: We offer through Stripe, Inc., (“Stripe”), a third party, a service that facilitates the payment of Care Providers and 1+1’s referral fee by Clients via an automated clearing house (ACH), credit card or debit card. These payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). By agreeing to these Terms, individuals who use the payment service also agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of 1+1 enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide 1+1 accurate and complete information about you, and you authorize 1+1 to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe. 1+1 assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you may make through this service, and all such payments are non-refundable.
    3. Referral agency disclosure to those seeking Care Providers (“Clients”): 1+1 is not the employer of the domestic worker (the “Care Provider”) it refers to you (the “Client”) or whom you find on this Platform. Depending on the arrangement between the domestic worker and you, you may have employer responsibilities. The domestic worker may be your employee or an independent contractor depending on the relationship you have with him or her. If you direct and control the manner and means by which Care Providers perform work you may have employer responsibilities, including employment taxes and workers’ compensation, under state and federal law. Clients agree to abide by all applicable local, state, and federal employment and wage and hour laws and regulations. For additional information, contact your local Employment Development Department and the Internal Revenue Service.

 

  1. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CLIENT AND THE CARE PROVIDER. Clients may determine to continue or terminate services with a Care Provider at any time for any reason, including but not limited to the following based on Care Provider actions: Failure to provide services as requested by Client and agreed-upon by Care Provider; Arriving later than requested by Client; Leaving earlier than requested by Client; Use of a personal cell phone in a client’s home; Bringing a non-registered Care Provider with you while you provide services to Referral Agency’s client; Failing or refusing to perform agreed-upon caregiving services as requested by Client; Failing to wear appropriate attire while providing services; Client accusations of theft, or other improper conduct.

 

  1. CONSENT TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL. If at any time, due to such circumstances as an injury or sudden illness or any other condition, medical treatment is necessary, Client authorizes 1+1 or the Care Provider to take whatever emergency measures they deem necessary for the protection of the Client. Client understands this may involve contacting a doctor, interpreting and carrying out his or her instructions, and transporting Client to a hospital or doctor’s office, including the possible use of an ambulance. Client also authorizes the providers of emergency services to bill Client for the costs of such care. Client agrees to be responsible for all costs related to such emergency care and further agrees to indemnify and reimburse 1+1 or Care Provider any costs or fees incurred related to such emergency care.

 

  1. NON-SOLICITATION / NON-INTERFERENCE. By using the Platform to seek domestic Caregiving Service jobs from Clients or by seeking a Care Provider to perform Caregiving Services, you agree not to interfere with the contractual relationship between 1+1 and the Client, or 1+1 and the Care Provider, respectively. Should a Care Provider render Caregiving Services for Client, or their immediate family, while no longer utilizing the services provided by 1+1, with or without prior written notice, acknowledgment, and advanced notice payment to 1+1, thereby denying 1+1 its referral fees, a Private Placement Fee shall be assessed against Client for $5000 plus all unpaid referral fees for any payments made directly to or through the 1+1 referred Care Provider. The lost 1+1 referral fees shall be calculated based on the average referral fees earned by Care Provider for Caregiving Services rendered in the 6 months prior to the occurrence of the Private Placement. By using the Platform to connect with a Care Provider, Client understands and agrees that any Private Placement has a financial impact on 1+1 and the Private Placement Fee is fair and reasonable.

 

  1. PAYMENTS AND BILLING.
    1. Paid Services. Certain of our Services may be subject to payments now or in the future (the “Paid Services”). A referral fee is based on a percentage of the referred workers rate as negotiated between Clients and Care Providers. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a Paid Service are deemed part of this Agreement.
    2. Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other providers of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
    3. Credit Card Payment Surcharge Fee. 1+1 prefers, and most users utilize the automated clearing house (ACH) payment method. 1+1 recognizes, however, that some Clients may wish to pay via credit card. A credit card surcharge, for payments made via credit card, may be charged by 1+1, and not by Care Provider. The surcharge fee of 3% is charged by 1+1 for the privilege of paying for services with an alternative payment method that is not standard on our Platform and to off-set credit card processing fees that 1+1 may not deduct from the payment to the Care Provider. 1+1 is a third-party vendor, who is not the Client nor Care Provider. All credit card payments initiated through the online platform are charged a surcharge fee.
    4. Recurring Billing. Some of the Paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is no charge or a one-time or initial charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., WEEKLY OR MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
    5. Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT WWW.1PLUS1CARES.COM. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
    6. Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you pre-authorized or was invoiced (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes, if any), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, a notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
    7. Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of a Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment, and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our or the Care Provider’s right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Paid Service.
    8. Cancellation Policy/Fees. All shifts scheduled by the Client require 24-hour notice of cancellation. If less than the required notice of cancellation is given, the Client will be billed for four hours of services, or 50% of the scheduled shift, whichever is greater. Reducing the time of a scheduled shift is considered a cancellation of the time and the same terms apply.

 

  1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Users assume all risks when using the Platform and the Services, including but not limited to all of the risks associated with any online or offline interactions with or between users of the Platform or the Services. 1+1 has no liability for non 1+1 Actions. IN NO EVENT WILL 1+1 BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, COMPENSATORY, AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CONDUCT OF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES OR ANY AGREEMENT OR RELATIONSHIP FORMED USING THE PLATFORM OR SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, BODILY INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANYONE'S RELIANCE ON INFORMATION OR OTHER CONTENT POSTED ON THE PLATFORM, OR TRANSMITTED TO OR BY ANY USERS OR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER REGISTERED USERS OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE.

  1. ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS:
    1. ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND 1+1 OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH 1+1, OR ANY CARE SEEKER OR CARE PROVIDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES OF JAMS, INC. THEN IN EFFECT, AND YOU AND 1+1 HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE IN ANY MANNER VIOLATED OR THREATENED TO VIOLATE 1+1’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WE MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE RELIEF IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND 1+1 WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIM IN YOUR LOCAL “SMALL CLAIMS” COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT'S RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION, UNLESS SUCH ACTION IS TRANSFERRED, REMOVED OR APPEALED TO A DIFFERENT COURT. YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY ON YOUR OWN BEHALF. NEITHER YOU NOR 1+1 WILL PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST 1+1 INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS.
    2. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if 1+1 is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event JAMS, Inc. is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either 1+1 or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.
    3. 30-Day Opt-Out Period. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Section 22, you must notify 1+1 in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms of Service (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be mailed to 1+1 at the following address: 3031 Tisch Way, STE 110PW, San Jose, CA 95128. If you do not notify 1+1 in accordance with this Section 22(C), you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of these Terms of Service, including such provisions in any Terms of Service revised after the date of your first acceptance. Such notification must include: (i) your name; (ii) your email and mailing addresses and (iii) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with 1+1 through arbitration. If 1+1 makes any changes to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section of these Terms of Service (other than a change to the address at which we will receive notices of dispute, opt-out notices, or rejections of future changes to the Arbitration and Clause Action Waiver section), you may reject any such change by sending 1+1 written notice within 30 days of the change to the address set forth in this Section 22C. This notification affects these Terms of Service only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with 1+1 or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms of Service shall not affect other arbitration agreements between you and 1+1.
    4. Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with 1+1.
    5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, NOR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS OR CONTENT PROVIDERS, BE LIABLE UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES (I) FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, COMPENSATORY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (HOWEVER ARISING), (II) FOR ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE (REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE OF ORIGINATION), (III) WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BENEFITS, OR (IV) FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF (IN THE AGGREGATE) THE GREATER OF (A) FEES PAID TO US FOR THE PARTICULAR SERVICES DURING THE IMMEDIATELY PREVIOUS THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD OR (B) $100.00.
    6. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts of San Jose, California.
    7. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any of these Terms of Service, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Services (including without limitation, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time by posting a notice on the Platform or by sending you a notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication.
