You desire to enter into these Terms for the purpose of accessing and using the Platform for purposes of arranging and obtaining workers for certain shifts. Said workers have been approved by HIREAPP to use the Platform and are subject to HIREAPP’s standard Online Services Agreement for Workers/HireApp Pros (such services provided are referred to as “shifts” and such workers are referred to as "HireApp Pros" or “Workers”).

You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to access and use the Platform or HIREAPP’s termination of these Terms with you.

If you have any questions regarding privacy, please refer to our privacy policy at https://www.hireapp.me/privacy-policy.
3.4 Promotional Codes. HIREAPP may, in HIREAPP’s sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for Account credit, or other features or benefits related to the Platform and/or a HireApp Pro’s services, subject to any additional terms that HIREAPP establishes on a per promotional code basis ("Promo Codes"). You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public form or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by HIREAPP; (iii) may be disabled by HIREAPP at any time for any reason without liability to HIREAPP; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that HIREAPP establishes for such Promo Code; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use.

3.5 Network Access and Devices. You are responsible for obtaining the data network access necessary to use the Platform. Your mobile network's data and messaging rates and fees may apply if you access or use the Platform from a wireless-enabled device. You are responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Platform and any updates thereto. HIREAPP does not guarantee that the Platform, or any portion thereof, will function on any particular hardware or devices. In addition, the Platform may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.
4. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIREAPP Pros
You acknowledge and agree that your arranging and obtaining of shifts from a HireApp Pro creates a direct business relationship between you and that HireApp Pro, and your interactions and dealings with such HireApp Pro are solely between you and such HireApp Pro. HireApp Pros are independent contractors and are not employees of HIREAPP. HIREAPP is not responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of any HireApp Pro in relation to the shifts. You shall have the sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to HireApp Pro or other third parties that arise from your arranging and obtaining such shifts. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for taking such precautions as may be reasonable and proper (including maintaining adequate insurance that meets the requirements of all applicable laws) regarding any acts or omissions of a HireApp Pro or other third party.
5. PAYMENT
5.1 Charges. You understand that use of the Platform may result in charges to you for the shifts you receive from a HireApp Pro ("Charges"), and you agree to pay all such Charges that you incur. After you have received shifts obtained through your use of the Platform, HIREAPP will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the HireApp Pro, as such HireApp Pro's limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the HireApp Pro. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by HIREAPP.
As between you and HIREAPP, HIREAPP reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all shifts obtained through the use of the Platform at any time in HIREAPP’s sole discretion. HIREAPP will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. HIREAPP may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services obtained through the use of the Platform, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Platform or the Charges applied to you. You may elect to cancel your request for shifts from a HireApp Pro at any time prior to such HireApp Pro's arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee, in accordance with HIREAPP’s then current cancellation policy.
5.2 Gratuity. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the HireApp Pro for the services or goods provided. HIREAPP does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the HireApp Pro. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any HireApp Pro who provides you with services obtained through the Platform, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services obtained through the Platform, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your HireApp Pro.
5.3 Service Charge. In consideration of HIREAPP’s provision of the HireApp Platform for your use and benefit hereunder, you agree to pay HIREAPP a service charge on a per shift transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Charges (regardless of any alternately negotiated Charges), as provided or otherwise made available by HIREAPP from time to time (“Service Charge”). HIREAPP reserves the right to change the Service Charge at any time in its sole discretion, and HIREAPP will provide you with notice in the event of such change. Continued use of the HIREAPP Platform after any such change in the Service Charge calculation shall constitute your consent to such change.
5.4 Payment Method. You agree to pay all applicable Charges via the payment method specified in your Account, which may be by ACH payment or credit card (“Payment Method”). For ACH and credit card payments, all Charges and Service Fees are due immediately, and HIREAPP will automatically debit your payments or charge your credit card using the preferred Payment Method designated in your Account, after which HIREAPP will send you a report by email. If your primary Account Payment Method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that HIREAPP may, as the HireApp Pro's limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available. In the event that there are unpaid or past due amounts for Charges or Services Fees associated with your Account, you must pay a finance charge of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law on such outstanding balances, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
Payment processing services for HIREAPP are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). These documents can be found at the provided links or by using a search engine (such as Google or Bing) to seek the terms “Stripe Connected Account Agreement” or “Stripe Terms of Service,” respectively.” By agreeing to these terms or continuing to operate on HIREAPP, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time.

8. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
8.1 Arbitration. You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Platform (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by final and binding arbitration between you and HIREAPP. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and HIREAPP are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and HIREAPP otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Arbitration Agreement" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Arbitration Agreement" section will survive any termination of these Terms.
8.2 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney or retired judge with experience in the law underlying the dispute.
8.3 Arbitration Process. If either party wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought.
8.4 Arbitration Location and Procedure. The arbitration shall take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and HIREAPP submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
8.5 Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
