ELIGIBILITY, SERVICE PROFESSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND USE OF THE PLATFORM Access to and use of the Platform is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. By registering or using the platform to offer, post, or provide Materials or Services, Service Professionals represent and warrant that they, and the employees, agents, suppliers contractors, and subcontractors who may perform work for them, are properly and fully qualified and experienced, and licensed, certified, bonded, and insured, as required by applicable laws or regulations to which they may be subject in the jurisdiction(s) in which they offer their Pro Services and in relation to the specific job they are performing. Service Professionals otherwise agree to comply with all applicable laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, any other applicable privacy laws, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, in their use of the Platform and any personal information obtained from the Platform. ZipBidy does not sell or otherwise provide Materials or Services. ZipBidy may directly provide home project consultations and related on-Platform services to Consumers, but any Pro Services solicited as a result of any such consultations or on-Platform services are provided by an independent Service Professional without any representation or warranty from ZipBidy other than as expressly provided for herein. ZipBidy also facilitates Pro Service transactions, which facilitation may include displaying a list of Service Professionals profiles, allowing Consumers and Service Professionals to send messages to each other, allowing for the booking of an appointment for the provision of Pro Services, assisting in the selection of a Service Professional for certain Consumers, and processing payment for certain Pro Services. Consumers understand that any such facilitation does not constitute a warranty in relation to the Pro Services. Service Professionals understand and agree that using the Platform does not guarantee that anyone will engage them for Pro Services. Consumers understand that any Pro Services they solicit and/or pay for using the Platform are solicited directly from the Service Professional providing such Pro Services. Service Professionals understand and agree that they are customers of ZipBidy, and are not ZipBidy employees, contractors, consultants, joint venturers, partners, or agents. Service Professionals acknowledge that they provide their own equipment, select their own jobs, develop their own expertise, are free to do jobs through other platforms and lead sources, and determine their own work schedule. ZipBidy does not control, and has no right to control, the services a Service Professional provides (including the details of how the Service Professional provides such services) if the Service Professional is engaged by a Consumer or any other person, except as specifically noted herein or on the Platform. ZipBidy, as permitted by applicable laws, obtains reports regarding Service Professionals, which may include history of criminal convictions or sex offender registration, and we may limit, block, suspend, deactivate, or cancel a Service Professional’s account based on the results of such a report, without or without notice. As a Service Professional, you agree and authorize us to use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports from ZipBidy’s vendors. Service Professionals agree to inform ZipBidy of any material criminal convictions that occur after any such reports are run.
