The "Platform" means TruZen's online marketplace and related services licensed by TruZen to the Service Provider that enables spa service providers to seek, receive, and fulfill requests for spa services by Clients; such platform services include access to the TruZen app and TruZen's software, websites, payment services, and related support services systems, as may be updated or modified from time to time.

The Service Provider agrees that the Service Provider will maintain the Service Provider's Login ID in confidence and not share the Login ID or login credentials with any third party. The Service Provider shall immediately notify TruZen of any actual or suspected breach or improper use or disclosure of the Login ID. The Service Provider 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, a Client may request Services which may appear in the Service Provider's Directory Services and Truzen will match the potential Client with the Service Provider based upon the Service Provider's availability and the Directory Service as described in Section 2. As between TruZen and the Service Provider, the Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that:

    • i) The Service Provider is solely responsible for determining the most effective, efficient, and safe manner to perform 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 Service Provider from accessing or using the Platform in the event of a violation of this Agreement, the Service Provider's disparagement of TruZen, the Service Provider'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 Service Provider's Login ID for any reason at its sole discretion. Subject to change from time to time, Service Provider's privilege to use the Platform shall be governed by TruZen's cancellation policies that can be found here.

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 Directory Services and availability. The Service Provider authorizes TruZen to match the Service Provider with a Client 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 Service Provider to offer or accept a Client is a decision made in the Service Provider's sole discretion and vice versa for the Client. 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 Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that providing the Services to a Client creates a direct business relationship between the Service Provider and that Client. Truzen solely enables Clients to arrange and schedule Services from the Services Provider through its matching services. TruZen is not responsible or liable for the actions or inaction of a Client in relation to the Service Provider's activities. The Service Provider shall have the sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to a Client or third parties that arise from the Service Provider's provision of the Services. The Service Provider shall be solely responsible for taking such precautions as may be reasonable and proper regarding any acts or omissions of a Client or third party.

This Agreement does not create an employment relationship with the Service Provider. TruZen does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control the Service Provider generally or the Service Provider's performance of the Services, including in connection with the Service Provider's provision of Services to a Client or any acts or omissions while providing Services, or the types of Services the Service Provider supplies. The Service Provider retains the right to determine when and for how long the Service Provider utilizes the Platform.
