Agreement

Given the recitals above, and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1) Use of the Platform.

  • a) Platform. The "Platform" means TruZen's online marketplace and related services licensed by TruZen to the Client that enables Service Providers to seek, receive, and fulfill requests for Services by the Client; such platform services include access to the TruZen App and TruZen's software, websites, payment services, and related support service systems, as may be updated or modified from time to time. Included in the definition of "Services", TruZen offers the following features for its Service:

    • i) Quick Book -- means TruZen matching a client's request to book spa services and the Service Provider's availability and provided Services.
  • b) Login ID. TruZen will provide the Client a self-chosen login ID ("Login ID") to enable the Client to access and use the Platform in accordance with this Agreement. The Client agrees that he or she will maintain his or her Login ID in confidence and not share the Login ID or login credentials with any third party. The Client shall immediately notify TruZen of any actual or suspected breach or improper use or disclosure of the Login ID. The Client shall comply with TruZen's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, as amended from time to time on TruZen's Platform.

  • c) Provision of Services. When the Platform is active, Client may search for and request Services from a Service Provider if a Service Provider is available, provides the requested types of Service, and fits the Client's Parameters. As between TruZen and the Client, the Client acknowledges and agrees that:

    • i) The Client is solely responsible for determining the most effective, efficient, and safe manner to receive the Services; and
    • ii) That the Client is solely responsible for payment of the Services.
  • d) Disclosure of Information. The Client acknowledges and agrees that once his or her Service request is accepted, the Platform may provide certain information about the Client to a Service Provider, including but not limited to, the Client's profile picture and name. The Client acknowledges and agrees that if the Service Provider is an entity, the Client's information may be distributed to a third-party outside of TruZen's control and that the Service Provider may have its own privacy standards. The Client shall not contact a Service Provider for any reason except for the purpose of fulfilling the Services.
  • e) Privilege to Use Platform. TruZen retains the right to, at any time and at TruZen's sole discretion, deactivate or otherwise restrict the Client from accessing or using the Platform in the event of a violation of this Agreement, the Client's disparagement of TruZen, the Client's act or omission that causes or may cause harm to TruZen's brand, reputation, or business as determined in TruZen's sole discretion, or for any other reason at TruZen's reasonable discretion. TruZen reserves the right to deactivate the Client's Login ID for any reason at its sole discretion. Subject to change from time to time, Client's privilege to use the Platform shall be governed by TruZen's cancellation policies that can be found at [LINK TO CANCELLATION POLICIES].

2) Client and Service Provider Matching.

  • a) Matching Process. Truzen provides its Platform as a matching service between the Client's parameters and a Service Provider's Services and availability. The Client authorizes TruZen to match the Client with a Service Provider based on factors such as the Service Provider and Client location, the scheduling availability, the Services provided, the Client preferences, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations. Any decision by a Client to request or accept a Service Provider is a decision made in the Client's sole discretion and vice versa for the Service Provider. Each Service provided by a Service Provider to a Client shall constitute a separate agreement as described in Section 3.
  • b) Client Parameters. The Client shall have the option to set a variety of parameters in regard to the Client's request for services. TruZen reserves the right to add, remove, or change the options provided to Clients. Possible Client parameters include, but are not limited to, gender, date and time for Services to be provided, and where the Client will be traveling from and the estimated driving time.

3) Service Provider and Client Relationship.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that a Service Provider's provision of the Services to the Client creates a direct business relationship between a Service Provider and the Client. TruZen solely enables Clients to arrange and schedule Services from the Services Provider through its matching services. The Client acknowledges and agrees that a Service Provider may have its own sub-contractors, employees, or agents that provide the Services directly to the Client. TruZen does not monitor, verify, or have control over a Service Provider's sub-contractors, employees, or agents' actions or professional qualifications. TruZen is not responsible or liable for the actions or inaction of a Service Provider or the Service Provider's sub-contractors, employees, or agents in relation to the Services. The Client shall have the sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to a Service Provider or third parties that arise from a Service Provider's Services. The Client shall be solely responsible for taking such precautions as may be reasonable and proper regarding any acts or omissions of a Service Provider, a Service Provider's sub-contractors, employees, or agents, or third party.

  • b) Non-Compliance with Non-Discrimination Policy. If a particular review or request contains language contrary to this non-discrimination policy, the Client will be asked to remove the language and affirm his or her understanding and intent to comply with this policy and its underlying principles. TruZen may also, in its sole discretion, take any action to enforce its non-discrimination policy, including suspending or removing the Client from the Platform. If the Client improperly rejects a Service Provider on the basis of a protected class or uses language demonstrating that his or her actions were motivated by factors prohibited by this policy, TruZen will take steps to enforce this policy, up to and including suspending or removing the Client from the Platform.

6) Ratings.

  • c) Rating Verification. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Client is aware that some Service Providers are entities and may have multiple sub-contractors, employees, or agents providing the Services for the Service Provider.

TruZen reserves the right to change the Platform Use Fee at any time in TruZen's sole discretion and TruZen will provide the Client with notice in the event of such change.
