2.Social Link Platform Connects Users
The Social Link Platform provides a marketplace or communication platform where independent, self-employed individuals and/or businesses ("Providers") can locate potential customers, both individuals and businesses that reside in the United States ("Customers"), that are seeking to obtain assistance with the performance of marketing activities and jobs for a place of business. The Social Link Platform further offers Providers digital marketing assistance, payment processing, social networking, task management and other digital services. Each Provider and Customer is a "User" for purposes of these Terms of Use. Each User shall create an account that enables such User to access the Social Link Platform. In addition to a User account, Providers must have their Provider account approved prior to accessing the Provider functions through their User account. For purposes of this Agreement, the services provided by Providers to their Customers that are scheduled through the Social Link Platform shall be referred to as the "Services.” It is up to the Providers to decide whether to provide Services to Customers contacted through the Social Link Platform.
Unless otherwise disclosed, Providers are deemed to be unlicensed. Please note that in certain markets Provider may be required to have a license to perform certain Services that will exceed a monetary threshold. For example, regulations applicable in certain markets require a license for work that will total more than $500.00. Accordingly, Customers must determine for themselves whether a Provider is qualified to perform the requested Service. Customers should consult their state or local requirements to determine whether certain Services are required to be performed by a licensed professional.
ANY DECISION BY USERS TO OFFER OR ACCEPT SERVICES THROUGH THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM IS A DECISION MADE IN SUCH USER'S SOLE DISCRETION. EACH SERVICE PROVIDED BY A PROVIDER TO A CUSTOMER SHALL CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THAT PROVIDER AND CUSTOMER. PROVIDERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND NOT EMPLOYEES OR SUBCONTRACTORS OF SOCIAL LINK. SOCIAL LINK MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF USERS, NOR DOES IT HAVE CONTROL OVER OR MAKE REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE QUALITY, TIMING, LEGALITY, FAILURE TO PROVIDE, OR ANY OTHER ASPECT WHATSOEVER RELATING TO ANY SERVICES. SOCIAL LINK DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE QUALITY, TIMING OR LEGALITY OF SERVICES DELIVERED BY PROVIDERS. SOCIAL LINK HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS BY PROVIDERS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANT OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION OR CODE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SOCIAL LINK IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH, ENDORSED OR SPONSORED BY ANY PROVIDER.
(A USER MAY BE A SUBCONTRACTOR OR EMPLOYEE IF USING FLAT RATE SERVICES)
3.Provider Background and Identity Check Process
Social Link checks the backgrounds of each Provider using a third-party background check service that includes, but is not limited to, a sex offenders registry check, county, state, federal and national criminal records check, and domestic and international terrorist watchlist check. Social Link also requires each Provider to submit to Social Link a government-issued photo ID and a profile picture. Providers hereby give consent to Social Link to conduct background checks as often as required in compliance with applicable law, including without limitation the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Although Social Link performs background and identity checks on each Provider, Social Link cannot confirm that each Provider is who they claim to be, and therefore, Social Link cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of the identity or background check information or any information provided through the Service.
(SOCIAL LINK WILL ALSO PERFORM REFERENCE AND WORK EXPERIENCE VERIFICATION)
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SOCIAL LINK IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE OUT OF THE SERVICES. SOCIAL LINK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER INCLUDING PROVIDERS, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SERVICES. Each User should exercise caution and common sense to protect their personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with any person with whom you do not know. Social Link’s sole liability with respect to the Services performed by Providers is as set forth in the Social Link Guarantee described in Section 6.
4.Job Fees for Services and Additional Services
a.Job Fee. Customers shall be charged pursuant to the rates quoted via the Social Link Platform at the time the Service is scheduled (or prior to acceptance of a Counter-Bid or Additional Service), which shall be based either on (i) the stated parameters of the Services and the location where such Services are to be performed or (ii) a counter-bid price proposed directly from a Provider (the "Job Fee"). Social Link has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by posting revised applicable Job Fees to your market though the App or by applying advertised sales or promotional discounts to the posted Job Fees, which will be disclosed to you prior to your submission as a Customer or acceptance as a Provider of a Service request.

The Social Link Platform facilitates these contracts by supplying a medium through which Customers can connect with Providers, schedule the Services, and make payments for the Services directly from the Customer to the Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customers may not circumvent the Social Link Platform by using the Social Link Platform to connect with Providers and then engage those Providers for Services outside of the Social Link Platform. (Sometimes they will engage inside the platform through chat or social media. Additionally, they may contract with Social Link directly in which case Social Link is a subcontractor to their business)

You hereby authorize us to charge the credit card on file in your account for such amounts upon the earlier of your verification of the completion of the scheduled Services or as soon as two (2) hours after a Service is completed, if there is no filed complaint with respect to such Service or if such complaint has been otherwise resolved as determined by Social Link in its sole discretion.

The amount of the applicable Use Fee will be determined by the category and market location of the job and will be communicated to you via your Provider Dashboard. Social Link reserves the right to change the Use Fee at any time in Social Link’s sole and absolute discretion. Continued use of the Social Link’s Platform after any such change in the Use Fee calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.

Promo Codes are only redeemable for use on the Social Link Platform to be applied towards Services and are non-transferable or redeemable for cash value.

The "Social Link Guarantee Remedies" are as follows: if we determine that a Service does not meet the Social Link Guarantee we will, in our sole discretion, either refund the payment you actually made for such Service, or have the applicable Service re-performed. If the Service is re-performed but we determine the re-performance still does not meet the Social Link Guarantee, we will refund the payment actually made for such Service. The amount of the Social Link Guarantee is limited to any payment you made for the Service. The Social Link Guarantee does not apply to any other cost, liability, damage, injury, or claim arising from or in connection with the Services. To be clear, the Social Link Guarantee does not apply to any payments made for Services not scheduled and paid for through the Social Link Platform. THIS SECTION 6 STATES SOCIAL LINK’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.
Social Link reserves the right in its sole discretion to eliminate the Social Link Guarantee altogether or to modify its terms at any time, effective with or without notice and without any liability to Social Link, although Social Link will endeavor to post notification of any material changes.
7.Service Cancellation
Social Link’s cancellation policy for specific Services is as follows:
a. Cancellation by Customer. As a Customer, you may cancel your scheduled Service appointments through the App at any time, subject to the following:
i. Services Booked 24 Hours in Advance
- If you cancel more than 24 hours before a scheduled Service appointment, there is no cancellation fee.
- If you cancel between 2-24 hours before a scheduled Service appointment, you may be charged a 5% cancellation fee.
- If you cancel less than 2 hours before a Service appointment, you may be charged a 10% cancelation fee.
ii. Services Booked Less 24 Hours in Advance
- For Services that were booked between 2-24 hours before the scheduled Service appointment, you may be charged a 10% cancellation fee if you cancel less than 2 hours before a Service appointment.
- For Services that were booked less than 2 hours before the scheduled Service appointment, including Services scheduled as "Now" appointments, you will only be subject to a $10 cancellation fee if you fail to cancel such appointment within 5 minutes after it you booked your job.
b. Cancellation by Provider. As a Provider, although you may cancel your scheduled Service appointments through the App if necessary, please understand that your cancellations are serious matters and may result in the suspension or deactivation of your Provider Account. If you are more than 15 minutes late for a scheduled appointment (note: the scheduled time for a “Now” appointment is 1 hour from the time you are selected by your Customer) or fail to complete a scheduled Service, you shall be deemed to have cancelled such appointment. When you cancel a scheduled Service appointment, the Social Link Platform generally notifies your Customer to resubmit the request for Service. Social Link cannot guarantee that a cancelled Service appointment will be selected by another Provider and rescheduled or that the Service request will be completed. Thus, your cancellation or failure to timely show up to perform a scheduled appointment could negatively impact your Customer and the Social Link Platform. As a result, such conduct may adversely impact your rating among Customers. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOUR CANCELLATION OF (A) ANY “NOW” APPOINTMENTS, (B) ANY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS ON LESS THAN 24 HOURS NOTICE, OR (C) TWO OR MORE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS WITHIN A 30-DAY PERIOD IS A VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION OR DEACTIVATION OF YOUR PROVIDER OR BUSINESS ACCOUNT.
8. Provider Access Fee
As a Provider, you are required to pay a monthly access fee during any calendar month in which you complete a Service. The access fee shall be $2.99 per month (the "Access Fee"). You instruct and authorize Social Link to deduct the Access Fee from the Job Fee of the first job(s) you complete in a calendar month. You acknowledge that Social Link reserves the right, at any time, to modify its Access Fees and billing methods.
9. Ratings
>To help maintain the quality of the Social Link Platform, Users (both Providers and Customers) will have the opportunity to rate each other after the completion of Services. If you rate your Provider or Customer with less than 3 stars, such User will be excluded from your future Service requests. Customers will see Provider ratings before selecting a Provider for a job so each rating a Customer gives can have an impact on that Provider's future on the Social Link Platform. In addition, Customers with a low star rating may not have their requests accepted.
10. Communications
By becoming a User, you expressly consent and agree to accept and receive electronic and other communications from us, including via email, text message, instant messages, calls, and push notifications to the telephone number or email address you provided to us, as further described in our Privacy Policy. If you wish to opt out of promotional emails, text messages, or other communications, you may opt out by following the unsubscribe options provided to you in such promotional communications. You may opt out of receiving non-promotional communications from us at any time by deactivating your account.

We may, without further notice or warning and in our discretion, monitor or record telephone conversations that we have with you or anyone acting on your behalf for quality control and training purposes or to protect our rights. We may, without further notice or warning, and in our discretion, access, store, use, and disclose the messages, call transcripts, and data about the calls/messages between and among Users that occur through the Social Link Platform for our business purposes, including to provide and improve customer service and the Social Link Platform, fraud prevention, and to identify violations of this Agreement.
11. Location Coordinates

As a Provider, you hereby acknowledge and consent toSocial Link’s collection of the latitude and longitude location ("Location Coordinates") of your Mobile Device so that we can provide our services to you and the Customers. For example, we may collect Location Coordinates when you select "Start Navigation to Site" or equivalent on the App for the purpose of providing support in case you and the Customer cannot find each other and ending upon your notification to the Customer and Social Link that you arrived at the Service location by selecting "I'm Here!" or the equivalent on the App (the "Tracking Period"). In addition, while in Provider mode, Social Link collects the Location Coordinates of the Mobile Device on which the Social Link Platform is installed for other purposes, including for the purpose of referring Services to you from potential Customers in your vicinity, protecting the safety of Customers and Providers, and for legal purposes (such as to enforce our agreements). Social Link does not collect or use Location Coordinates data for the purpose of controlling or monitoring the manner and means by which you provide the Services contemplated by this Agreement, or the frequency with which you use the Social Link Platform to book Services.

UNUSED MATERIALS OR NON-APPROVED FINAL WORK WILL REMAIN THE PROPERTY OF SOCIAL LINK.
Any User Contribution you post to the site is subject to the governing provisions set forth in our Privacy Policy. User Contributions will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Social Link Platform, you hereby grant us and our licensees, successors and assigns the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose. By posting or sharing User Contributions with other Users, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you grant those Users a non-exclusive license to access and use those User Contributions as permitted by these Terms of Use and the functionality of the Social Link Platform.
You represent and warrant that:
- You own or control all rights in and to the User Contributions and have the right to grant the licenses granted above to us and our licensees, successors and assigns and other Users.
- Your User Contributions, and the use of your User Contributions as contemplated by these Terms of Use, do not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; (iii) be obscene, contain nudity, be harmful to minors, infected with viruses that are intended to detrimentally interfere with any date, or liability inducing to Social Link; or (iv) cause Social Link to violate any law or regulation.

We have the right to:
- Remove or refuse to post any User Contributions for any or no reason in our sole discretion.
- Take any action with respect to any User Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Contribution violates the Terms of Use, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of Users of the Social Link Platform or the public or could create liability for Social Link.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we are under no obligation to edit or control User Contributions that you or other Users post or publish, and we expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with User Contributions. Social Link may, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Contributions that in our sole judgment violates these Terms of Use or are otherwise objectionable.

You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Social Link with respect to User Contributions.
19. User Disputes.
We understand that occasionally disputes may arise between or among our Users. In the event a dispute initiated by either a Provider or a Customer cannot be resolved independently, you hereby agree, at Social Link’s request, to participate with good faith, to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, in a neutral resolution, mediation, or arbitration process conducted by Social Link or a neutral third-party mediator or arbitrator selected by Social Link. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Social Link is under no obligation to become involved in or impose resolution in any dispute between or among Users or any third party.20. Provider Provisions
a.Insurance. As a Provider, you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to maintain in full force and effect adequate workers' compensation (or, if permitted by law, occupational accident insurance), unemployment, liability, and other forms of insurance with policy limits sufficient to protect and indemnify Social Link and its affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members, controlling persons, and successors and assigns, from any losses resulting from the conduct, acts, or omissions of you or your assistants, agents, contractors, servants, or employees.
b.Provider Assistants. Before any Services are performed by any assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel engaged by a Provider, the Provider shall require any such individuals to become a registered, approved Provider on the Social Link Platform pursuant to Social Link policies as described herein. Providers that utilize non-registered, non-approved personnel to assist with a Service could have their permission to access the Social Link Platform revoked. Each Provider assumes full and sole responsibility for the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of helpers, assistants, subcontractors and/or other personnel, if any, and for all required and applicable state and federal income tax withholdings as to the Provider and all persons engaged by the Provider in the performance of the Services.
c. Equipment. As a Provider, you are solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of the Services, and in no event shall Social Link reimburse, or be required to reimburse, you for any tools, materials, costs or expenses used in connection with the Services. You shall furnish and maintain, at your own expense, the tools, equipment, supplies, and other materials used to perform the Services. You, at your sole discretion, shall determine what equipment, supplies, and materials are necessary to perform the Services, and where, when, and at what cost, to purchase or maintain any necessary equipment, supplies, tools, and materials. At your request, Social Link may offer to you certain equipment, supplies, and materials for purchase. You are not required to purchase any equipment, tools, supplies, or materials from Social Link at any time.
d. Representations. By providing Services as a Provider on the Social Link Platform, you represent, warrant, and agree that: (i) you are solely responsible for obtaining the necessary licenses and/or certifications for performance of the Services or Additional Services; (ii) you will not transfer or sell your User account, password and/or identification to any other party; (iii) you will be solely responsible for any and all liability that results from or is alleged as a result of your provision of Services, including, but not limited to personal injuries, death and property damages; (iv) you will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations while providing Services, and you will be solely responsible for any violations of such provisions; (v) you will pay all applicable federal, state and local taxes based on your provision of Services and any payments received by you; (vi) you will not attempt to defraud Social Link or a Customer in connection with your provision of Services or Additional Services; and (vii) you will not demand that a Customer pay in cash, or use a credit card reader or other off-platform payment service, to accept payment for Services or engage in any other activity in a manner that is inconsistent with your obligations under this Agreement.
e.Reimbursement of Resolution Costs. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, you further represent, warrant, and agree (i) to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Social Link in connection with the resolution of any property damage or other claims resulting from a Service you performed for a Customer, and (ii) that Social Link shall have the right to suspend your Provider account until it has received payment in full for all such reimbursable amounts.
f. Non-Circumvention. Within six (6) months after the last time Provider provides Services to a Customer as arranged though the Social Link Platform, Provider agrees not to provide any services to the same Customer other than as arranged through the Social Link Platform. Provider shall be liable for the fees set forth in Section 4 for all services provided to Customers in breach of the previous sentence, in addition to all other remedies provided by this Agreement and applicable law, including injunctive relief. Provider agrees to indemnify Social Link from any attorneys’ fees and costs it incurs in collecting its fees from a Provider that breaches this non-circumvention provision.
21. Third Party Services, Charitable Organization Programs, Third Party Fees, and Linked Websites
a.Access to Third Party Services. The Social Link Platform may provide you with access to third-party websites, databases, networks, servers, information, software, programs, systems, directories, applications, products or services, or charitable donation programs (collectively, "Third Party Services"), and may enable you to export information or content, including your or other Users’ User Contributions, to Third Party Services such as Twitter or Facebook, through a feature of the Social Link Platform. By using one of these features, you agree that Social Link may transfer that information or User Contribution to the applicable Third Party Service. Social Link does not have or maintain any control over Third Party Services and is not and cannot be responsible for their content, operation or use. By linking or otherwise displaying information from or providing access to any Third Party Services, Social Link does not give any representation, warranty or endorsement, express or implied, with respect to the legality, accuracy, quality or authenticity of content, information or services provided by those Third Party Services.
b.Charitable Donation Programs. From time to time, Social Link may authorize one or more charitable organizations (each a “Charity”) to post a fundraising campaign ("Campaign") to the Social Link Platform to accept monetary donations ("Donations") from Users wishing to contribute funds to the Campaign ("Donors"). For purposes hereof, the term "Charity" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of a Campaign. You understand and acknowledge, however, that Social Link is not a charity or a party to any agreement between a Charity and a Donor, or between any User and a Charity. We are not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any User or Charity. Furthermore, we do not personally endorse any Campaign or Charity.
You agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and will not be refunded unless the Charity, in its sole discretion, agrees to issue a refund. You acknowledge that contributions to Campaigns may not be deductible under your jurisdiction’s applicable tax laws and regulations.
i. Third Party Fees related to Donations. Social Link may, in its sole discretion, deduct a payment process fee from each Donation to off-set any out-of-pocket costs of hosting a Campaign on the Social Link Platform. Donors acknowledge that by contributing a Donation to a Campaign, the Donor is agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by our payment partners, in addition to these Terms of Use, including Stripe's terms of service.
c.Disclaimer of Liability for Third Party Services. Third Party Services may have their own terms of use and privacy policy, and your use of the Social Link Platform may incur third-party fees, such as fees charged by your mobile carrier for data usage. You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with any terms of use, privacy policy or other terms governing your use of Third Party Services, and you are solely responsible for all Third Party Services’ fees incurred by you for use of the Social Link Platform. You are solely responsible for taking the precautions necessary to protect yourself from fraud when using Third Party Services and to protect your computer systems from viruses, worms, trojan horses and other harmful or destructive content that may be included on or with any Third Party Services. Social Link disclaims any and all responsibility or liability for any harm resulting from your use of Third Party Services, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against Social Link with respect to any Third Party Services.
d.Additional Notices and Disclaimers for Charitable Programs. We have no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, a Charity, and we hereby disclaim all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You, as a Donor, must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any Campaign or Charity. We do not and cannot verify the information that a Charity supplies, nor do we guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by a Charity. We assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws; such responsibility rests solely with the Charity. While we have no obligation to verify that the use of any funds raised is in accordance with applicable law and these Terms of Use, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds raised very seriously. If you have reason to believe that a Charity is not raising or using the funds for their stated purpose, please alert our team of this potential issue by emailing info@sociallink.com, and we will investigate
e. Additional Notice for Google Maps. The Social Link Platform may provide access to Google's Maps service. By using the Social Link Platform and accessing the Google's Maps service, you are explicitly agreeing to be bound by the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Use (including the Google Privacy Policy).
22. Third Party Software
Software you download in connection with the Social Link Platform consists of a package of components that may include certain third-party software ("Third Party Software") provided under separate license terms (the "Third Party Terms"). Your use of the Third Party Software in conjunction with the Social Link Platform in a manner consistent with these Terms of Use is permitted; however, you may have broader rights under the applicable Third Party Terms, and nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to impose further restrictions on your use of the Third Party Software.
23. Terms and Termination
This Agreement is effective upon your creation of a User account, as amended by any modifications made pursuant to Section 1. You may discontinue your use of the Social Link Platform or participation in the Services at any time, for any reason. We may suspend or deactivate your User account (either as a Provider and/or Customer), or revoke your permission to access the Social Link Platform, at any time, for any reason, upon notice to you. We reserve the right to refuse access to the Social Link Platform to any User for any reason not prohibited by law. Either party may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon written notice to the other party. The terms of this Agreement, and any subsequent modifications of this Agreement, shall remain in effect at all times after you or Social Link terminate your participation or access to the Social Link Platform or Services.

You acknowledge that Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) is a valuable, special and unique asset of Social Link and agree that you will not disclose, transfer, use (or seek to induce others to disclose, transfer or use) any Confidential Information for any purpose other than disclosure to your authorized employees and agents who are bound to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information. You shall promptly notify Social Link in writing of any circumstances which may constitute unauthorized disclosure, transfer, or use of Confidential Information.

b.Customer's Confidential Information. As a Provider, you understand that in performing the Services, you will receive certain private and/or confidential information regarding the Customer and will have access to their homes and personal belongings. Except upon order of government authority (e.g., court, administrative agency) having jurisdiction, or upon express written consent by the Customer, you agree that you shall not publish, disseminate or disclose, for your own benefit or the benefit of any third party, any confidential information regarding the Customer, including addresses, telephone numbers and/or financial information. You further agree not to engage in any activity which violates the privacy of any Customers, including, but not limited to, taking unauthorized photographs or making unauthorized audio or video recordings of Customers or their homes or their personal belongings; or publishing, disseminating or disclosing any such photographs or recordings. You acknowledge that your failure to comply with the foregoing shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
27. Disclaimer of Warranties
You understand that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading from the Internet or the Social Link Platform will be free of viruses or other destructive code.

THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM, ITS CONTENT AND ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NEITHER SOCIAL LINK NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH SOCIAL LINK MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER SOCIAL LINK NOR ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH SOCIAL LINK REPRESENTS OR WARRANTS THAT THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM, ITS CONTENT OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT OUR SITE OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR THAT THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM WILL OTHERWISE MEET YOUR NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS.

28.Limitation on Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL SOCIAL LINK, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM, ANY SOCIAL LINK PLATFORMS LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM OR SUCH OTHER SOCIAL LINK PLATFORMS OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM OR SUCH OTHER SOCIAL LINK PLATFORMS, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SOCIAL LINK, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO SOCIAL LINK FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF SOCIAL LINK PLATFORM IN THE 12 MONTHS (THIS SEEMS LONG?) PRIOR TO THE EVENT(S) GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $100.
THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF USE. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 28 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
29. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Social Link, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of this Agreement or your use of the Social Link Platform, including, but not limited to, any use of the Social Link Platform's content, Services and products other than as expressly authorized in this Agreement or your use of any information obtained from the Social Link Platform.
30. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration of Claims
Generally, in the interest of resolving disputes between you and Social Link in the most expedient and cost effective manner, YOU AND SOCIAL LINK MUTUALLY AGREE THAT EVERY DISPUTE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND SOCIAL LINK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
a. Exceptions. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.b. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Social Link will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Social Link.
c. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice"). Social Link’s address for Notice is: Social Link LLC, 41 Peabody St. Nashville TN 37210, Attn: Legal Department. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Social Link may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Social Link must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Social Link will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Social Link in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (iii) $1,000.
d. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Social Link will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Davidson County Tennessee, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Social Link for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
e. No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND SOCIAL LINK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Social Link agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
f. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Social Link makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Social Link’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Social Link’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Social Link will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.g. Enforceability. If any part of this section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in this Agreement will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
h. Provider Opt-Out of Arbitration. For Providers, arbitration is not a mandatory condition of this Agreement with respect to any dispute or claims brought by Social Link against a Provider, or for disputes or claims brought by a Provider against Social Link that: (i) are based on an alleged employment relationship between Social Link and a Provider; (ii) arise out of, or relate to, Social Link’s actual deactivation or suspension of a Provider account or a threat by Social Link to deactivate or suspend a Provider account; (iii) arise out of, or relate to, Social Link’s actual termination of a Provider’s Agreement with Social Link, or a threat by Social Link to terminate a Provider’s Agreement; or (iv) arise out of, or relate to, Job Fees (as defined in this Agreement, including Social Link’s Use Fee or tips, other than disputes relating to referral bonuses, other Social Link promotions, or consumer-type disputes (the subset of Claims in subsections (i)-(iv) shall be collectively referred to as “Provider Claims”).
