IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THEN YOU MAY NOT INSTALL THE HOUSE FLY APP OR ACCESS OR USE OF THE HOUSE FLY PLATFORM.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OBLIGATE AND BIND YOU TO AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. PLEASE SEE SECTION 10 OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

1.1. If an individual is named as the Customer, you agree that these Terms of Service are a two-party agreement between you and House Fly and that these Terms of Service are not a collective or association agreement.

1.2. If an Entity is named as the Customer:

(b) the term “you” or “your” shall mean and refer collectively to both of such Entity and such Entity Representative, who are hereby bound and obligated together jointly, severally and in solido to House Fly;

1.3. You agree that the House Fly Platform is available for you to connect you and Service Providers.

1.4. Notwithstanding Section 1.3, whether or not you connect with a Service Provider and regardless of how you access or use the House Fly Platform, none of that, and none of these Terms of Service, in any way whatsoever create or are to be interpreted as any partnership, joint venture, franchisor/franchisee, agency or employment relationship whatsoever between you and House Fly. You further understand and agree that these Terms of Service are an arms-length agreement between you and House Fly and that House Fly does not owe you any fiduciary duty or any other special duty whatsoever.

1.5. These Terms of Service hereby include and hereby incorporate by reference the Privacy Policy, which you hereby accept and to which you are hereby bound and obligated.

1.6. When you create your Account on the House Fly Platform you must accept these Terms of Service. You also understand and agree that House Fly may Modify these Terms of Service from time to time in House Fly’s sole and complete discretion (except that: (1) you have no obligation to accept that which we Modify in the arbitration provisions; and, (2) we will not Modify our fee structure, or your payment obligations, with respect to any then existing Services Contract (and (1) and (2) are the “Special Modifications”)). Your access to or use of the House Fly Platform is governed by the version of the Terms of Service that you last accepted as reflected in the records on the House Fly Platform. Except for any Special Modifications, if we Modify the Terms of Service you must accept the modified Terms of Service in order to continue accessing or using the House Fly Platform. If we Modify the arbitration provisions and you do not accept the modified arbitration provisions, your access to and use of the House Fly Platform will be limited to your then existing Services Contracts (but subject always to whatever other rights or remedies we may have to suspend or terminate your Account) and, to be clear, you will not have any right to enter into new or amended Services Contracts. Any Disputed Claims arising under the Terms of Service will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms of Service in effect at the time the Disputed Claims arose (but, again, the last mutually agreed to arbitration provisions will control and govern). As used above, the term “Modify” means revise, update, change or otherwise modify.

By accepting these Terms of Service, the Customer acknowledges that these geographic restrictions are a crucial part of this Agreement, and the Customer accepts the responsibility to ensure their service bookings adhere strictly to this geographic limitation.

3. HOUSE FLY AND THE CUSTOMER

3.1. Subject to your compliance with and observation of the other provisions (including, without limitation, all DISCLAIMERS and limitations of liability) of these Terms of Service, the House Fly Platform is a cloud-based services application that facilitates a medium through which you can connect with Service Providers, enter into a contract between you and Service Providers for the Service Providers to perform certain Listed Services (the “Services Contract”), schedule the performance of Listed Services by Service Providers, and allow you to directly make payments, through the House Fly Platform, to the Service Provider for the Listed Services. To be clear, House Fly is not a party to any Services Contract that you make with a Service Provider by using or accessing the House Fly Platform; and, to be clear, only you and the Service Provider are parties to such Services Contract. House Fly does not introduce you to any Service Providers and does not find jobs, work or opportunities for Service Providers; rather, as stated above, the House Fly Platform provides a platform that facilitates a medium through which you can connect with Service Providers.

3.2. On our platform, each listed service includes a brief description intended to give an overview of what the service entails. These descriptions are provided for convenience and informational purposes only and may not comprehensively cover all aspects or details of the service offered. As a customer, you acknowledge that these descriptions are not exhaustive and may not fully capture the specifics, limitations, or exclusions of the service. The actual scope of services, including any specific tasks to be performed, materials to be used, timelines, and any other details related to the execution of the service, will be determined solely by the agreement between you and the service provider. It is your responsibility to engage directly with the service provider to confirm the exact specifications, scope, and nature of the service prior to the commencement of any work. This includes verifying any qualifications, licenses, or certifications required by law or deemed necessary for the service in question. You should ensure that all aspects of the service, including cost, timeline, and deliverables, are clearly understood and agreed upon in writing with the service provider before any service is initiated. Our platform is not responsible for any discrepancies between the service descriptions provided on our platform and the actual services rendered by the service provider. By proceeding to use our platform and engaging with service providers listed herein, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this section, accepting full responsibility for verifying the service details and suitability of service providers for your needs.

As to each home, residence, premise, building, fence, structure, land, landscaping, site or other property on which or for which any goods or services are to be provided by a Service Provider in or under a Services Contract that you make with that Service Provider (the “Subject Home/Property”), you also represent and warrant: (a) that you are a lawful owner, tenant, lessee or occupant thereof; (b) that you have all necessary power, authority and right to make said Services Contract with respect to said Subject Home/Property; (c) that you have all necessary power, authority and right to make, or have made, the repairs, maintenance, renovations, improvements, demolitions, constructions, installations, changes, modifications or other work (collectively, “Repairs & Work”) to the Subject Home/Property as such Repairs & Work are described in, or otherwise required by, said Services Contract; (d) that, except for any permits required from governmental authorities, you have obtained and hold all necessary consents, approvals, waivers, permissions and other authorizations from any and all third parties (including, without limitation, any mortgage companies, lien-holders, financial institutions, co-owners, joint owners, landlords, lessors, roommates, or other Persons); I that your entering into, executing and otherwise performing said Services Contract is not in conflict with, and is not inconsistent with, any agreement, contract, commitment or other undertaking which you have made or will make; and, (f) that the Subject Home/Property is entirely located within the United States of America.

3.24. You understand and agree that whether or not House Fly conducts a Background Check for any Service Provider is solely for House Fly’s own benefit and not for your benefit, reliance or use.

To be clear the forgoing applies even: (a) when you look for or consider any Listed Services or a Service Provider; (b) when you enter into a Services Contract; or, (c) at any other time when you use or access the House Fly Platform. The term “Background Check”, in addition to its ordinary meaning, means checking, investigating, reviewing, determining, confirming or verifying any qualifications, licenses, credentials, permits, certifications, Health Profile, Health Protocols, criminal history, litigation history, bankruptcy history, knowledge, education, training, experience, competency, credit or other relevant criteria.

If you or your associates do any of (A) through (J), inclusive, above, such action is also a violation and breach of these Terms of Service (and, among other rights and remedies, we may then limit, suspend or terminate your House Fly License as well as your Account as well as your access to or use of the House Fly Platform) unless applicable law clearly provides you with, and you promptly provide us with a written demand clearly explaining, your right or defense to do so.

5.2. User (You, Service Provider Or Other Customer) Ratings or Contributions

5.2.1. The House Fly Platform may provide a means for you and Other Customers to endorse, review, rate, rank, comment on or provide feedback on any one or more of the following: (a) Service Providers; (b) the offering of or provision of Listed Services by Service Providers; or (c) Service Providers’ performance of or failures to perform Services Contracts (collectively, “User Contributions”). At any time, and without prior notice to you, House Fly may alter, change or remove the means by which the House Fly Platform allows you and Other Customers to provide User Contributions or the means or methods by which House Fly compiles such information or prepares or generates any metrics based thereon. At any time, and without prior notice to you, House Fly reserves the right to take any action voluntarily and in good faith to restrict access to or availability of all User Contributions (1) that are in violation (or are an anticipatory or threatened violation) of these Terms of Service; or (2) that House Fly considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable. Also, while House Fly reserves such right, you understand, acknowledge and accept for all purposes, and also agree, that House Fly has no obligation whatsoever to you: (i) to exercise such right; or, (ii) to restrict access to or availability of some or all of the User Contributions.

Any User Contributions may contain links to third-party websites, offers, or other events or activities not owned or controlled by House Fly. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility whatsoever for any such links, and if you click-through or otherwise access such websites, offers, or other events or activities, you do so at your own risk.

5.2.2. You irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally understand, acknowledge and accept for all purposes, and also agree, that House Fly has the right, but not the obligation, to permit each Service Provider to endorse, review, rate, rank, comment on or provide feedback on any one or more of the following: (a) you or the mode or manner (including, without limitation, the pleasantness of, brusqueness of or difficulties in the manner) in which you cooperated or interacted with the Service Provider; (b) your performance, delayed performance or otherwise failures in performance of any one or more Services Contract; or, (c) the site conditions or any other conditions about any Subject Home/Property (collectively, “Service Provider Commentary”).

6. BILLING AND FEE STRUCTURE

6.1. Payment In Advance, Acknowledged Completion and Other Payment Matters

6.1.1. The House Fly Platform facilitates payments between you and Service Providers through a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”). House Fly may enable you to make payments using credit, debit, or prepaid cards, by linking your bank account, or by any other payment method supported by the Payment Processor. We reserve the right to cancel your ability to make payments with one or more of the payment methods you have authorized in our sole and absolute discretion. House Fly is not a party to any such payments and does not handle funds as your agent or otherwise on behalf of you; and, House Fly’s only obligation to you to pay the Service Provider or hold the funds is as stated and limited by the “Acknowledged Completion” provisions below. You are obligated to pay, in advance, for those Listed Services to be performed by Service Providers where such Listed Services are scheduled or purchased through the House Fly Platform to form a Services Contract; and, you are obligated to pay, in advance, for the Customer Facilitation Fee. Your credit card (or debit card or other payment method) will be promptly charged or debited according to the payment amount set out in the Services Contract between You and the Service Provider plus the Customer Facilitation Fee. House Fly may use any one or more of your payment methods stored on file.

Your funds (less the Customer Facilitation Fee and the Service Provider Booking Fee) will be held in a House Fly bank account (which bank account is not dedicated to or for you and which bank account may hold monies paid by other Customers or other monies of House Fly) until Acknowledged Completion of the Listed Services in the Services Contract. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE: (A) THAT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT, CLAIM OR INTEREST WHATSOEVER IN OR TO THAT BANK ACCOUNT; AND, (B) THAT NEITHER YOU NOR THE SERVICE PROVIDER ARE ENTITLED TO ANY INTEREST ON FUNDS HELD AT ANY TIME BY HOUSE FLY GROUP. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY INTEREST ACCRUED ON ANY OF YOUR FUNDS HELD BY HOUSE FLY GROUP IS OWNED BY HOUSE FLY GROUP AND SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOUSE FLY GROUP.

The Payment Processor is Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). Stripe and its affiliates process Transactions (which Stripe defines as any purchase, sale, donation, order or other transaction) for House Fly, including payment Transactions.

6.1.2. If the Listed Service is for a Recurring Service, you must keep a valid credit card (or valid debit card or other valid payment method) stored on file; and, you are obligated to pay, in advance when the Service Contract is made, for the first episode of that Recurring Service; and, your credit card (or debit card or other payment method stored on file) will be promptly charged or debited for that first episode according to the payment amount set out in the Services Contract between You and the Service Provider plus the Customer Facilitation Fee. Immediately after the first, next or current upcoming episode of the Recurring Service is completed, you are obligated to pay, in advance for the then next episode of that Recurring Service; and, your credit card (or debit card or other payment method stored on file) will be promptly charged or debited for the amount for that episode as the payment amount is set out in the Services Contract between You and the Service Provider plus the Customer Facilitation Fee. A “Recurring Service” is a Listed Service that recurs for each Recurring Period during the term of that Listed Service. For example, a Listed Service to provide cleaning once a month for twelve months could be a “Recurring Service”. A “Recurring Period” means weekly, bi-weekly or monthly unless a different period is specified for the Listed Service. Each episode of a Recurring Service is hereby agreed and deemed to be a separate and independent Services Contract and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Recurring Service is not one Services Contract for all of the episodes of the Recurring Service.

6.1.3. The Customer Facilitation Fee is fully earned by House Fly when the Services Contract is made and is not refundable (although House Fly reserves the right, to be exercised by House Fly in House Fly’s complete and total discretion, to refund all or any portion of the Customer Facilitation Fee; and if House Fly provides any whole or partial refund, such action here is, and is hereby agreed to be, without any waiver of, prejudice to or limitation on House Fly’s right to not refund any other Customer Facilitation Fee). To be clear, whether the Service Provider performs, or fails to perform, the Services Contract or there arises other issues or problems with the work or services done or not done (or with work or services defectively done) by the Service Provider, the Customer Facilitation Fee is fully earned by House Fly when the Services Contract is made. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase “with work or services defectively done” means, in addition to its ordinary meaning, work or services which are defective, faulty, flawed, redhibitory, incomplete, partial, incorrect, shoddy, erroneous or delayed.

6.1.4. “Acknowledged Completion” occurs as follows: (1) after the Service Provider notifies House Fly that the Listed Services have been completed, House Fly will notify you through the platform and/or send you an email (the “Completion Email”) notifying you that the Service Provider has indicated that the Service Provider has completed the Listed Services and is requesting payment; and, (2) if, within 48 hours of House Fly sending that Completion Email to you, House Fly has not received from you a submitted “Payment Dispute” by which you state either that the Listed Services are not yet complete or that the Service Provider has breached or not fully performed the Services Contract (a “Disputed Reply”), House Fly will pay (and you are hereby, without further formality, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally authorizing and directing House Fly to pay) the Service Provider (less the Service Provider Booking Fee, which is paid to House Fly) whatever funds you delivered to House Fly for those Listed Services (the “Remaining Funds”). To be clear, if you fail to submit a “Payment Dispute” within 48 hours, you bear the responsibility and loss of the Remaining Funds that House Fly pays to the Service Provider and of the Service Provider Booking Fee. Further, if Acknowledged Completion occurs, you have no right whatsoever to any refund from (or other payment whatsoever from or claim whatsoever against) House Fly for any of the Remaining Funds that House Fly pays to the Service Provider or for any of the Service Provider Booking Fee. House Fly has no obligation to you whatsoever to confirm, determine, investigate or otherwise verify whether the Service Provider has performed the Listed Services or otherwise performed the Services Contract. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION TO CONFIRM, DETERMINE, INVESTIGATE AND VERIFY (AND TO PROMPTLY UNDERTAKE TO CONFIRM, DETERMINE, INVESTIGATE AND VERIFY) THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDER HAS PERFORMED THE LISTED SERVICES AND OTHERWISE PERFORMED THE SERVICES CONTRACT. YOU BEAR THE RISK IF YOU DO NOT, OR IF YOU DO NOT TIMELY UNDERTAKE TO, CONFIRM, DETERMINE, INVESTIGATE AND VERIFY THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDER HAS PERFORMED THE LISTED SERVICES AND OTHERWISE PERFORMED THE SERVICES CONTRACT.

6.1.5. If you timely submit a “Payment Dispute” to House Fly in accordance with section 6.4 (Dispute) to request a whole or partial refund due to your claiming that the Service Provider has breached or otherwise not fully performed the Services Contract, House Fly will hold the customer funds and review the “Payment Dispute” between parties. House Fly will pay the Remaining Funds and the Service Provider Booking Fee to you and/or the Service Provider per: (1) the joint written instructions of you and the Service Provider; (2) the provisions of Section 6.4; or (3) the provisions of Section 10. The Customer Facilitation Fee is not a part of the Remaining Funds or the Service Provider Booking Fee.

6.1.6. House Fly is entitled to use the last email address on file in your Account.

6.1.7. All information you provide in connection with the purchase and receipt of Listed Services must be accurate, complete, and current. Any payment for Listed Services which are the subject of a Services Contract with a Service Provider must be made through the House Fly Platform. No refunds or credits will be provided once your credit card (or debit card or other payment method stored on file) has been charged or debited, except: (a) at our sole discretion, refunds or credits may be granted as a result of specific promotions, or to correct any errors we have made; (b) in accordance with the Section 6.3 (Cancellation); or (c) in accordance with Section 6.4 (Dispute)

6.1.8. The price of the Listed Services will be as quoted by the Service Provider on the House Fly Platform from time to time, except that in cases of obvious error you agree not to hold the Service Provider to that obviously erroneous price but rather to the correct price. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect Services Contracts already consummated. Some of the Listed Services listed on the House Fly Platform may be, due to a direct and sole error of House Fly, incorrectly priced or otherwise incorrectly stated. House Fly is not responsible for pricing errors caused or due in whole or in part by a Service Provider. HOUSE FLY EXPRESSLY RESERVES THE RIGHT, BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION TO YOU, TO SEEK TO CORRECT WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDER ANY PRICING ERROR FOR WHICH HOUSE FLY WAS THE DIRECT AND SOLE CAUSE OF THE PRICING ERROR. House Fly is under no obligation whatsoever to ever cause any Service Provider to provide Listed Services to you at a lower or different price, rate or fee structure, even after you have been sent confirmation of your Services Contract.

6.1.9. Each Listed Service includes a “Service Duration”, which in some cases, is an estimate of time based on the average time it takes a Service Provider to complete a Listed Service. A Service Duration of “1 Day” is equal to an estimated time of 8 hours. Unless the Listed Service is for a fixed amount of time, you should not rely on the estimated duration as a representation of the actual duration of the service. You acknowledge that you are paying for the service and not for the duration of the service. You understand that a Listed Service can take less than or greater than the estimated Service Duration, and that it does not change the price paid for the Listed Service. To be clear, if a Service Provider finishes a service in less than the estimated Service Duration time, the Service Provider is not required to refund you any money, remain at the property, or perform any additional services; and if the service is not completed within the estimated Service Duration time, the Service Provider is required to remain at the property until the Listed Service is completed (without additional compensation).
a) The above Does Not apply to fixed time services, including but not limited to: General Help, Whole Home Cleaning, and Cleaning Packages. Fixed time services are Listed Services that you do pay for both the service and duration.

6.1.10. You also acknowledge that House Fly provides you the House Fly Platform to facilitate the booking of Services Contracts for a consideration (the “Customer Facilitation Fee”), and you acknowledge that the Service Provider may also pay a fee to House Fly for or related to the Service Provider’s booking of Service Contracts or other use of or access to the House Fly Platform (the “Service Provider Booking Fee”) and you further acknowledge and agree that you have no right or claim to know the amount of such Service Provider Booking Fee and have no right or claim to receive, to be paid, or to receive any credit whatsoever for all or any of part of such Service Provider Booking Fee. The price, rate or fee structure displayed on the House Fly Platform may be a combination of the price for Listed Services to be performed, and the Customer Facilitation Fee retained by House Fly for the use of or access to our House Fly Platform or such amounts may be stated separately for the Listed Services and for the Customer Facilitation Fee. You agree and hereby authorize and direct (and you represent and warrant to House Fly that you have all necessary right and authority to authorize and direct) House Fly, through its Payment Processor, to charge your credit card (or debit card or other payment method) for the total price, rate or fee structure of the Listed Services and the Customer Facilitation Fee, and you understand, agree and acknowledge that upon Acknowledged Completion, the amounts you paid for the Listed Services (less the Service Provider Booking Fee) will be paid to the Service Provider. You further represent and warrant to House Fly that each time House Fly charges, or its Payment Processor, charges your credit card (or debit card or other payment method) there will be sufficient funds and credit such that such charge will successfully and fully complete.

6.1.11. Should a request for payment for any chargeback, error, claim, defect, refund, Disputed Reply or other dispute (“Payment Dispute”) arise, you understand and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, House Fly is not liable to you under any circumstances whatsoever for any monies owed in relation to any Payment Dispute.

6.1.12. If your actions result, or are likely to result in, a Payment Dispute or a violation of these Terms of Service, or if we determine that your Account has been used to (or an attempt has been made to) engage in bad faith, misrepresentation, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, then we may, among other of our rights and remedies, permanently withhold any amounts owed to you in our sole and complete discretion. If you have a past due balance due for any amounts that we determine you owe House Fly, we may, without limiting any other rights or remedies: (a) charge one or more of your payment methods; (b) offset any amounts you owe us against amounts you may be owed by Service Providers; (c) invoice you for amounts due to us, which such amounts will be due upon receipt; or (d) collect payment from you by any other lawful means.

6.1.13. If House Fly is required by any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or order to collect or withhold any sales, use, value-added or any other kind or types of tax, assessment or levy whatsoever (a “Special Tax”, but “Special Tax” does not include an income tax), or if House Fly is obligated to pay or remit to any governmental authority any such Special Tax, you hereby acknowledge and agree that House Fly has the right to do so but has no obligation to you to do so. You always remain responsible for any and all liability for paying and remitting any Special Tax.

6.1.14. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms of Service, House Fly, except as prohibited by law, may refuse, in its sole discretion (and without any promise to you to refuse), to process any payments (whether due to House Fly, due to you, due to a Service Provider or due to another Person): (a) if, in good faith, we require or deem it prudent to obtain additional information, whether as to identity, tax status or other information whatsoever; (b) if, in good faith, we suspect you or other Persons have committed or attempted to commit fraud or other illicit or illegal acts in, on, by or through any use or access to (or as a result of using or accessing) the House Fly Platform; or (c) if, in good faith, we deem it required or prudent to do so in connection with any investigation or other action required by federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or order.

6.2. Tiered Customer Facilitation Fee Structure

House Fly charges fees for certain services or features. The Customer Facilitation Fee of Listed Services as quoted on the House Fly Platform are calculated using the following Tiered Fee Structure for each individual service:
Less than $500 = 9.99%
$500 to $2,500 = 8.99%
More than $2,500 = 7.99%

House Fly fees may be subject to change at any time and for any reason. It is your responsibility to stay informed of any changes to the fees. Where there are multiple Listed Services or where there are Recurring Services, House Fly has the right to select and apply one or more tiers in the Customer Facilitation Fee as House Fly, in House Fly’s complete discretion, elects to do, including, without limitation, electing to do so in manner that allows House Fly to maximize the gross Customer Facilitation Fee paid to House Fly.

6.3. Cancellation

The Service Provider Cancellation Fee only applies when a Customer Cancels a scheduled Listed Service within 24 hours of the scheduled Listed Service start time.

6.3.2. Completed Services – Once a Service Provider confirms the scheduled Listed Service has been completed, neither party to the transaction will be able to cancel the completed service.

6.4. Dispute

6.4.1. BY USING THE HOUSE FLY PLATFORM, INCLUDING CREATING AN ACCOUNT OR SCHEDULING A LISTED SERVICE, YOU IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE RESULTS OF ANY HOUSE FLY MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION IN THE EVENT OF A PAYMENT DISPUTE. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF ELIGIBILITY FOR A REFUND OR PAYMENT, AND ANY FINANCING RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION WILL BE DETERMINED AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF HOUSE FLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF A PAYMENT DISPUTE, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT ANY FINANCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION DECISIONS MADE BY HOUSE FLY AND TO BE SUBJECT TO HOUSE FLY’S DISTRIBUTION OF RELATED FINANCES. HOUSE FLY DOES NOT ACT AS AN AGENT FOR EITHER PARTY IN ANY TRANSACTION OR IN RESOLVING ANY PAYMENT DISPUTES, AND WILL INSTEAD TRY TO FACILITATE GOOD FAITH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES INVOLVED.

6.4.2. To resolve any “Payment Disputes”, you should first attempt to contact the other party through the House Fly platform to try to come to a resolution. If you are unable to resolve the issue with the other party, you may submit a “Payment Dispute” through the House Fly platform by logging into your user account, accessing the completed jobs section, and selecting “Dispute Service”. When submitting a “Payment Dispute”, you are required to provide dispute information and at least one photo. Please note that all “Payment Disputes” must be submitted on time through the House Fly platform.

6.4.3. In order to be eligible for dispute resolution through the House Fly platform, the service in question must have been paid for and booked on the House Fly platform. Dispute resolution is only available after the scheduled start time of the Listed Service and is only available for a limited time after the Listed Service has been Completed or Canceled. Please note that these requirements must be met in order to submit a “Payment Dispute” through the House Fly platform.

6.4.4. There are three types of “Payment Disputes” that may be submitted through the House Fly platform:
a) Service Provider Canceled. If a Service Provider Cancels a service after the Listed Service scheduled start time and requests a partial payment by selecting a percentage of work completed greater than 0% (1% – 99%), the Customer has 48 hours from the Cancellation to dispute the partial payment price through the House Fly platform.
b) Customer Canceled. If a Customer Cancels a service after the Listed Service scheduled start time and requests a refund by selecting a percentage of work completed less than 100% (0% – 99%), the Service Provider has 48 hours from the cancellation to dispute the refund amount through the House Fly platform.
c) Service Completed. If the Service Provider submits through the House Fly platform that the job has been Completed, the Customer has 48 hours to dispute the full payment through the House Fly platform.

6.4.5. After a Customer or Service Provider submits a “Payment Dispute”, House Fly will hold all funds and attempt to contact the other party to facilitate a resolution. Disputes may take up to 30 days or more to resolve, and either party can contact House Fly at any time to check the status of a “Payment Dispute”. If House Fly contacts either party for additional information, that party must respond within 7 days or the dispute may be resolved without the requested information.

6.4.6. Any party that submits false or frivolous claims, or fails to cooperate in good faith to provide additional information or help resolve a “Payment Dispute”, may have their account privileges restricted or terminated.

6.4.7. Funds will be released and the “Payment Dispute” will be closed after the dispute is resolved. If you disagree with the House Fly dispute resolution, you may still have the ability to pursue your dispute rights through your local legal system or with your financial provider.

6.4.8. To prevent disputes, we encourage both Customers and service providers to take or request multiple photos before and after each job, and to communicate through the House Fly chat before the service to clear up any questions and reduce confusion or misunderstandings. By accepting these terms of service, you agree to allow the Service Provider permission to photograph the work both before and after a service in order to provide proof of completion.

6.4.9. Your access to the House Fly platform may be restricted if you abuse the “Payment Dispute” resolution service or chargeback rights with your financial institution, including using the service to obtain additional funds for services not completed or completed incorrectly, obtaining two refunds for the same transaction, or filing frivolous disputes or chargebacks that are subsequently ruled invalid.

6.4.10. When a Customer disputes a service, they may submit a “Payment Dispute” through the House Fly platform or dispute the charge through their issuing provider, but not both at the same time. Customers have the right to dispute any charge through their credit or debit card provider, and if they elect to do so with their financial provider prior to or during an active House Fly dispute resolution case, and the financial provider initiates a chargeback or other reversal of payment, the Customer is no longer eligible for House Fly dispute services and must rely solely on their dispute rights with their financial institution. House Fly will resolve the dispute as if it were cancelled in this case. If you disagree with the House Fly dispute resolution, you may still have the ability to pursue your dispute rights with your financial provider. House Fly may contest credit card chargebacks in accordance with the rules of the applicable credit card association or issuer.

6.5. Promotions.
You may receive certain offers from House Fly (“Promotions”). Any Promotions are offered at House Fly’s sole discretion and may be revoked at any time or for any reason.
You are only eligible for any benefits described in the Promotion if (a) you received a communication directly from House Fly offering you that Promotion, (b) you satisfy all the requirements identified in that communication; (c) you maintain an Account in good standing with House Fly; and, (d) you have complied and continue to comply with these Terms of Service. We may condition receipt of a benefit described in a Promotion in any manner we see appropriate.
Any benefits from participating in the Promotion, requirements of accepting the offer, and any other conditions to receive any benefit described in the Promotion will be disclosed to you. After a Promotion ends, regardless of whether you have already satisfied the requirements, you will be ineligible to receive those benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, House Fly may revoke a benefit if we believe in our sole discretion that you have not satisfied the Promotion requirements, including maintaining an Account in good standing or otherwise complying with these Terms of Service.

6.6. Warranty
The House Fly platform does not provide any warranty or guarantee for the services provided by any service provider. Service providers may, at their sole discretion, offer their own warranties for the services they provide; but such warranties are solely between the service provider and you, and House Fly is not a party to such warranties. The House Fly platform does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any warranty or representation made by a service provider. Any disputes arising under or in connection with a service warranty offered by a service provider shall be solely between the service provider and you, and House Fly shall have no liability or obligation to resolve such disputes. You acknowledge and agree that House Fly is not responsible for any disputes or claims related to the services provided by the service provider, including but not limited to any warranty claims.

If you, said Service Provider and House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for any Others Named In House Fly Group) cannot resolve any Disputed Claims through House Fly’s legal department or if any of you, said Service Provider or House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for any Others Named In House Fly Group) elect to not to first submit the Disputed Claims to House Fly’s legal department (or, even if submitted, elect, at any time, to withdraw or otherwise no longer participate in any process with the House Fly legal department), then those Disputed Claims shall be settled by binding, final, non-appealable arbitration by and between you, said Service Provider, and House Fly (itself and acting as agent for Others Named In House Fly Group), in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified below for discovery and as also modified by not including Rule R-38 (Emergency Measures of Protection) (collectively, the “Modified Commercial Rules”) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 USC §§ 1 et seq.); provided, that the arbitrators shall have no less than the powers granted to arbitrators under the Federal Arbitration Act except as such powers are expressly limited by this Section 10.

The arbitration shall be held in New Orleans, Louisiana. Judgment by the arbitration panel may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any rules or other provisions of the Commercial Rules, the arbitration shall be conducted with no discovery (to be clear, no interrogatories, no request for production of documents, no inspections, no depositions, no requests for admissions and no other forms of discovery). The parties to the arbitration shall name their witnesses and exchange exhibits (including, if allowed by the arbitrators, expert reports) in advance of the hearing per the schedule established by the arbitrators. Only the Modified Commercial Rules, and not the federal or state law of any jurisdiction in which the arbitration is pending (and also not the federal or state law of any other state or jurisdiction), shall govern discovery matters. The arbitrators’ award shall be final, binding and nonappealable. The arbitrators’ award shall be a “simple” award (which may, but need not, contain orders to perform, do or not do anything) and so shall not have any written reasons or findings of fact.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Disputed Claims shall be brought solely by you as an individual and not as part of, or as a representative of, a class. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND HOUSE FLY AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING DISPUTED CLAIMS AGAINST HOUSE FLY (AS WELL AS ANY OTHER OF THE HOUSE FLY GROUP) OR A SERVICE PROVIDER ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND HOUSE FLY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, MAY NOT AND SHALL NOT CONSOLIDATE (EXCEPT AS ALLOWED IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH) MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT AND SHALL NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

While the scope of an arbitration is allowed to involve more than one Services Contract by said Service Provider for you (or more than one job, goods provided or services by or from said Service Provider to or for you), the scope of the arbitration shall not be expanded to include any Services Contract of (or other jobs, good or services by or from) another Service Provider for you unless all of you, House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for Others Named In House Fly Group), said Service Provider and that other Service Provider agree in writing to the joinder of such other Service Provider in one arbitration proceeding. In other words, if you have Disputed Claims with more than one Service Provider, a separate arbitration proceeding is required for each such Service Provider (unless, as noted above, you, House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for Others Named In House Fly Group), said Service Provider and the other Service Provider agree in writing to the joinder in one arbitration proceeding).

Also, if you file an arbitration demand against House Fly (and whether or not you name any others in the House Fly Group) and do not name any Service Provider as a party and, thereafter, a Service Provider is not named by House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for Others Named In House Fly Group) in answering or otherwise responding to said arbitration demand, the arbitration shall proceed as an arbitration only between you and House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for Others Named In House Fly Group). Likewise, if House Fly files an arbitration demand against you and does not name any Service Provider as a party and thereafter, a Service Provider is not named by you in answering or otherwise responding to said arbitration demand, the arbitration shall proceed as an arbitration only between you and House Fly (for itself and acting as agent for Others Named In House Fly Group).

If you file an arbitration demand against a Service Provider, you must name House Fly as a party.

The Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court of the State of Louisiana as well as the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (the “Preferred Courts”) shall have: (i) exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any action by a party to the arbitration (whether you, a Service Provider, House Fly or any of House Fly Group) against any other party to the arbitration (whether you, a Service Provider, House Fly or any of the House Fly Group) to nullify, vacate, set aside, revoke, challenge or otherwise contest the arbitrators’ award; and, otherwise shall have nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue over any action concerning the enforcement of an arbitration award, or (ii) if, in the unlikely event, arbitration is not permitted by law, then exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all Disputed Claims which are not permitted to be arbitrated. You unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Preferred Courts and you will not object to such jurisdiction and venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, inconvenient forum or otherwise. YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING FOR, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTED CLAIMS. Except for remedies expressly provided for in these Terms of Service, the arbitration panel shall neither be empowered to award damages in excess of actual damages nor to award punitive damages. Subject to the above, the arbitrators shall have the authority to require specific performance or impose other equitable relief hereunder, as well as imposing money damages and awards of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party.
