3.Registered Users. The Website allows both Providers and Customers to create a public profile (each, a “Profile”) under which Providers will list certain services they are willing to provide to others and may include their experience level and any qualifications related to such services, and Customers may list the services they are seeking and may include details regarding pay rates and any special qualifications they may be seeking. In order to create a Profile on the Website, a User must create an account on the Website (each, a “Registered User”). The following provisions will govern such accounts.
3.1.Personal Use of Account. Each individual may have only one account on the Website, and it must be in the real and legal name of the individual. You are responsible for all activity on and use of your account, and you may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. If you are a Customer, you may use your account only to find care for yourself, your parents, your children, or other individuals for whom you are the legal guardian. If you are a Provider, you may use your account only to find jobs for yourself, and you agree you will be the only party providing the services you offer.
3.2.Usernames and Passwords. If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You do not have permission to transfer or assign any account or the use thereof to a third party. We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of this Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy.
3.3.Contributions. Any information you provide on your Profile about yourself and the services you are offering or seeking may be collectively referred to as “Contributions.”
A.All Contributions are non-confidential and non-proprietary. You acknowledge that other Registered Users will be able to view all Contributions, and that certain aspects of the Contributions may be viewable publicly by Users of the Website who are not Registered Users and are using the Website as a guest. You hereby grant to us and our affiliates and services providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns, the irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license and right to use, modify, reproduce, display, copy, distribute, publish, perform, sublicense, translate, create derivative works from, make available and otherwise exploit such Contributions for purposes of providing the Services.

4.Limitation of Services.
4.1.You acknowledge that Perfectly Nanny’s Services are limited to providing an opportunity for connections to be made between Users of the Website. We are not an employment or staffing agency, and we do not provide any of the services offered by Providers. The services offered by any Provider are offered only by the Providers and not Perfectly Nanny. If you are a Customer and engage a Provider for any services, you are contracting directly with the Provider. If you are a Provider and accept any job from a Customer, you acknowledge you are contracting directly with the Customer. We do not control, monitor, supervise, or oversee the quality, timing, hours, pay, legality, or any other aspect of services performed by Providers, nor do we require Providers to accept any specific job opportunity.
4.2.You further acknowledge that any information provided on a Profile is provided solely by the User and is not confirmed by Perfectly Nanny. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any Profile and we are not responsible for verifying any information provided on any Profile. It is your sole responsibility to vet another User and confirm their qualifications before engaging with that User, via any manner deemed appropriate between the Users. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR THE CONTENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, LEGALITY, RELIABILITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION POSTED BY A USER. WE CAUTION YOU TO, AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO, VERIFY THE VALIDITY OF AND DETAILS OF ALL STATEMENTS MADE BY ANOTHER USER BEFORE ENGAGING WITH SUCH USER.
4.3.We do not offer payment processing for payments between Users. You agree that any payments agreed upon between Users will be completed through the payment method determined between Users in your discretion, and that you are responsible for setting forth any terms of engagement, including any agreements that you may desire. We do not provide or recommend either a method of payment, or any agreements or terms between Users. In the event of a dispute, we may have the ability to review any conversations which have occurred on the Website regarding payment details, but we are not required to resolve or arbitrate any dispute between Users regarding payment.
4.4.We do not refer or recommend any Users to other Users, nor do we make any representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the services provided by Providers or the integrity, responsibility or actions of Providers or Customers. If the Website suggests any other User to you, that suggestion is based only on the information you have provided or requested and is not and shall not be considered to be a recommendation from Perfectly Nanny as to any specific individual or that individual’s suitably to engage with you for services.

If you fail to make any payment or if your automatic payment does not transfer (including if your credit card company or financial institution refuses to pay any amount billed), we may provide you with a notice and allow you to remedy such nonpayment, or we may cancel your account in our sole discretion without further notice.
5.3.By providing a payment method or payment details, (i) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized user of such payment method and (ii) you are authorizing us (or our third-party payment provider) to charge all fees incurred by you.

If you dispute a payment, you agree to first contact us regarding such dispute. You agree that you will not chargeback any amounts charged to your payment method.
5.4.If you desire to cancel your account, or if we cancel your account pursuant to this Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, we will cease drawing any further payments from you, but we will not provide partial or pro rata refunds. You agree that we may retain such funds as an administrative fee. You further agree that until your account is terminated, you will continue to accrue charges for which you remain responsible, even if you do not access or use your account or the Services.
5.5.If we desire to change our pricing model, you will be alerted [60 days] in advance of the change in pricing and may cancel your account if you do not agree to the changes. If you do not cancel your account before a pricing change goes into effect, you will have agreed to the change in pricing.
