This agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between Transform ServiceLive LLC. ("ServiceLive") and you (the individual or entity, "you" or "Buyer") who registers as a Buyer on ServiceLive.com or any related website ("Site"). This Agreement is effective when you click the "I Agree" checkbox on the Site. This Agreement incorporates by reference Appendix #1 (Additional Terms and Conditions) attached hereto and this Agreement, together with the Terms of Service (collectively, the "Terms"), governs your membership on and use of the Site, the Services (as defined below) provided by ServiceLive and the transactions conducted through the Site (collectively, your "Membership"). Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, will have the meaning set forth in the other Terms. In consideration of the each of our obligations below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, we each agree as follows:
This is a contract between you, the Buyer, and ServiceLive. Be sure to read our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
This summary does not limit or alter the full terms to the left.
1. ServiceLive Membership. ServiceLive.com is a venue (together with the other services we provide, collectively the "Service"), for service providers (each a "Provider") and their companies (each a "Provider Firm" or "Company"), to offer their services to you and other buyers ("Buyers") and for Buyers to route requests for services ("Service Orders"), to Providers of their choosing. You, other Buyers and Provider Firms are together referred to as "Members". Your Membership provides you with the ability to fund a virtual account (subject to the terms of the Payment System (see link below)) which will be used to pay for any Service Orders and to pay any fees due ServiceLive) and to post Service Orders. ServiceLive's Site allows you to post Service Orders, monitor the status and accept counter offers for a Service Order. As part of the Services, ServiceLive may offer you additional products and/or services from time to time.
ServiceLive is a venue
for buyers (like you)
to send service order
to service contractors.
You must accept these
Terms to become a Member.
We look forward to
having you as a Member.
2. Click The "I Agree" Checkbox. You must register each individual who will be authorized to issue Service Orders and communicate on your behalf (each a "Buyer Agent"). You will: (A) create a separate individual profile for each Buyer Agent, (B) be responsible for all acts or omissions of Buyer Agents registered under your account, (C) agree on behalf of, and will require each Buyer Agent to agree, to the Terms as if such Buyer Agent were you under these Terms.
By accepting the Terms and completing the registration process, you are simultaneously (i) registering as a Buyer and as a Buyer Agent; and (ii) representing, warranting and covenanting that you and each of your Personnel (as defined below), including Buyer Agents, registered by you/your firm can legally enter into these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you and your Personnel are not authorized to use the Site and/or register for a Buyer Membership. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact ServiceLive at info@servicelive.com. All references to "you" in these Terms will also refer to your Buyer Agents and other Personnel.
You can give others (your Buyer's Agents) the ability to create Service Orders on your behalf.
We hope you will join.
We think once you try our Site, you'll never go back to the old way of hiring providers.
3. Service Order Process. As a Buyer, you have the option of posting your Service Order(s) on the Site on a "Name Your Price" or a "Bid" basis. Provider Firms elect which of their Providers to make available on the Site and which of their Personnel are authorized to accept Service Order(s) and communicate on their behalf. You select the individual Providers to whom your Service Order(s) are offered.
A. "Name Your Price" Posted Service Orders. By posting a Service Order using the "Name Your Price" option on the Site, you agree such Service Order is a binding offer by you (that will remain open as provided on the Site) and that may be accepted by any of the Provider Firms to whom your offer is sent on the Site. Further, you and the Provider Firms agree that, the first Provider Firm, as determined by ServiceLive, in its sole discretion, to accept a Service Order, will be awarded such Service Order. If a Provider Firm is the first to accept your Service Order, as determined by ServiceLive, a contract exists between you and the Provider Firm for such Service Order. If the Provider Firm conditionally accepts your Service Order (through the Site), then the Provider Firm will be deemed to have counter-offered such Service Order, and a contract will be deemed to be made, if you or such Provider Firm accepts the others' last counter-offer for such Service Order. If another Provider Firm accepts your original Service Order prior to you accepting a Provider Firm's counter-offer (a/k/a conditional acceptance), then the Service Order will be awarded to that other Provider Firm and the counter-offer process will be terminated. If you send a counter-offer, your prior counter-offer will be deemed automatically revoked if it has not already been accepted by a Provider Firm (as determined by ServiceLive in its sole discretion).
When you post a job (a Service Order) using "Name Your Price" the first contractor (provider) to accept your job, at the time, and on the terms, you want, gets the work.
B. Bid Posted Service Orders. For Service Orders you post using the "bid" option on the Site you agree that: (I) when you accept a Provider Firm's bid (a/k/a their offer) by clicking "Accept Bid" (or similar) on the Site, a contract will exist between you and such Provider Firm, (II) you and each Provider Firm may comment upon an open Service Order and ServiceLive may share such comments with all of the Provider Firms to whom your Service Order was routed; and (III) Provider Firms may revoke, modify or submit new bids at any time, as provided for on the Site, prior to acceptance by you. If a Provider Firm sends a new bid, their prior bid will be deemed automatically revoked if it has not already been accepted by you (as determined by ServiceLive in its sole discretion).
Your Service Order, together with the SO Communications, including your provider's responses become your contract.
You are responsible for what you say on the Site.
C. Communications and User Content. You may send information to the Provider Firms to whom you have sent a Service Order (and those Provider Firms may send you information, each such communication a "SO Communication"), through tools on the Site (for example, through the Site's communication monitor functionality, via chat, or other means). Information posted by you or by your Personnel on or through the Site, including in your Service Order and counter-offers (for example, job descriptions, pictures, documents, etc.) and in other SO Communications constitutes "User Content" and per the Terms ServiceLive is free to use such User Content, without restriction or payment of any kind to you. You must use the Site to communicate changes in the scope your Service Orders, changes in appointment date, and changes in price and terms. You should also communicate such changes directly to the Provider who is performing the work for you. The Provider who accepts your Service Order is your contractor and you should clearly communicate your expectations to him/her the same as you would to any service professional who you hire.
Our SO Communication feature allows you to exchange information with providers.
We can re-use any Content you post.
Remember other people will see your posts - please keep them business like.
Please use SO Communications to communicate changes regarding your job.
D. You are responsible for all SO Communications by your Personnel (e.g., questions, comments, counter-offers, etc.), and all SO Communications must be made in an appropriate, business like manner in accordance with these Terms (including restrictions on obscenities or other offense materials). All SO Communications must be directly related to the underlying Service Order. It is a violation of these Terms for any Member (or their Personnel) to disparage any other Member, or their products or services in any SO Communication. SO Communications which are sent prior to the acceptance of the Service Order (or bid or counter-offer), as determined by ServiceLive in it sole judgment, will be sent to the Buyer who issued the Service Order and all Provider Firms who received the original Service Order. Once the Service Order (or final bid or counter-offer) has been accepted, SO Communications will only be sent to the issuing Buyer and the Provider Firm awarded such Service Order; provided that ServiceLive reserves the right to monitor all SO Communications (but ServiceLive is under no obligation to so monitor). You are responsible for all communications (e.g., Service Orders, SO Communications, etc.) posted on the Site under your or your Personnel's User Ids, regardless of whether you authorized such communications.
Your Service Order, together with the SO Communications, including your provider's responses
become your contract.
You are responsible for what you say on the Site.
E. Your Contract with the Provider Firm. If your Service Order is accepted by a Provider Firm (or you accept a bid or counter-offer), as determined by ServiceLive in its sole discretion, the contract between you and such Provider Firm consists of your Service Order, any SO Communications sent by the parties (unless otherwise specified by them), including, if applicable, the bid or counter-offer that was accepted. Once a Service Order (or bid/counteroffer is accepted) the funds that you have loaded into your ServiceLive Wallet for such Service Order will be unavailable for payment of other Service Orders unless and until the original Service Order is canceled (or the spend limit is decreased).
F. Other Service Order Terms. You retain the right to withdraw or modify a Service Order at any time, as provided for on the Site, and subject to these Terms. All modifications to a Service Order must be processed through the Site. Except in those instances where ServiceLive has elected, in its sole discretion to accept or bid on a Service Order as a Provider Firm: (I) ServiceLive does not control any part of your Service Order(s) or the contract between you and the Provider Firm; (II) ServiceLive does not set or endorse: (1) the price, contract terms, quality, conformance or legality of the Service Orders advertised; or (2) the ability of the accepting Provider Firm to offer its services and/or perform accordingly, (III) ServiceLive does not control whether the Provider Firm will complete the Service Order they (or their Providers) accept, (IV) ServiceLive may make suggestions about how to alter your Service Order to increase the chances that it will be accepted; if you accept such suggestions you do so at your risk, and (V) Service Live is not responsible for any Service Order and/or contract, or the result of any such Service Order and/or contract made between you and the Provider Firm.
You can change or cancel your Service Order at any time. Cancellation charges may apply.
ServiceLive is not a part of your contract with your provider.
G. Your Obligations to ServiceLive. If you post a Service Order, you agree (for ServiceLive's benefit) that you: (I) will not claim that ServiceLive is a party to any Service Order between you and such Provider Firm (unless ServiceLive elects, in its sole discretion, to accept or bid on such Service Order as a Provider Firm), (II) you are authorizing ServiceLive to divulge the content of such Service Order and your and your Personnel's contact information to the Provider Firms you have selected, and (III) will have a representative who is 18 years or older present at all times while the Services under the Service Order are being performed; and (V) will not circumvent usage of the Site by requesting or permitting any services to be performed or products to be sold that are not specified in a Service Order (as modified from time to time), through the Site. The terms of this Section 3.G will not be deemed to be part of the contract between the Provider Firm and you unless such terms are set forth in the applicable Service Order between the Provider Firm and you.
These are some basic rules that apply when you post a Service Order.
H. Service Order Completion Verification. Once the Provider has completed a Service Order to your satisfaction in accordance with its terms, the Provider will complete a Service Order Completion Verification form. In order to pay the Provider Firm, you then need to click the "Approve To Pay" button (or similar) on the Site (if you fail to do so the Provider Firm will not be paid and they may contact you for payment). You may elect to click the "Approve To Pay" button (or similar) on the Site prior to completion of the Service Order - in which case the applicable funds will be held in your ServiceLive Wallet until the Provider Firm states the work has been completed - at which time it will be automatically transferred to the Provider Firm. Once you click the "Approve To Pay" button (or similar) on the Site, you can not stop transfer of the applicable funds and you are not entitled to a refund, for any reason, through the Site. Any requests for refunds must be made directly to your Provider Firm.
When your job is done, the person who provided the Service, the Provider, needs to complete a "Completion Verification Form."
After that, if you are satisfied with the work, you click "Approve to Pay" on the Site.
I. Service Order Cancellation. You may cancel a Service Order, at any time, subject to any applicable cancellation fees (as set forth on the Site from time to time) which will be deducted from amounts due you, however ServiceLive may publish cancellation percentages in your public profile and such actions may affect our rating of you on the Site.
If you cancel your Service Order too close to the appointment time, cancellation fees may apply.
J. Posting and Service Order Fees. Unless such fee is waived on the Site, you agree to pay to ServiceLive a posting fee for each Service Order posted by you or your Personnel (the "Posting Fee"). The Posting Fee will be a non-refundable ten dollars ($10.00) per Service Order posting. You will have the right to modify and/or delete the Service Order until a Provider Firm accepts your Service Order (however additional fees may apply). In the event your Service Order is not accepted, you will have the right to repost the same Service Order within 30 days, at no additional Posting Fee. In addition, you agree to pay the applicable Provider Firm the amount agreed for each Service Order completed in accordance with the Service Order. ServiceLive reserves the right to change the amount of the Posting Fee from time to time and it will be reflected in the fees computed and displayed on the Site.
$10 to post your job is all we ask.
You are responsible for paying your provider.
K. Venue. You agree that ServiceLive is simply acting as a marketplace venue for Buyers and Provider Firms. ServiceLive is under no obligation to perform the services requested by you in any Service Order. If ServiceLive voluntarily undertakes to perform such services, you agree to pay ServiceLive (rather than any other Provider Firm) the compensation set forth in the applicable Service Order.
We help you find a provider - we don't provide the Services.
L. ServiceLive Verified. From time to time, ServiceLive may, but is not obligated to, review documents provided by a Member (e.g. insurance certificates, training certifications, etc.), and if ServiceLive, in its sole judgment, is satisfied that such document appears authentic, mark such document as "ServiceLive Verified." You acknowledge that ServiceLive does not guaranty the authenticity or accuracy of such document or that such document is enforce, or that it was properly obtained by the Member posting it. You agree that you will not rely upon a document's "ServiceLive Verified" status and that ServiceLive will have no liability to you in connection with such documents (including ServiceLive's marking a document as "ServiceLive Verified"). You must determine for yourself what, if any, reliance you choose to place on such documents.
ServiceLive Verified
If you see this symbol it means we looked at a credential submitted by the provider (insurance certificates, training credentials, etc.) and they appear valid.
You should confirm their validity yourself.
M. Employees of Sears Holdings Companies. Employees of ServiceLive and its affiliates (e.g., Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Kmart Corporation), are not allowed to perform Service Orders issued on the Site by ServiceLive or its affiliates. Any employee of ServiceLive or its affiliates who accepts (or is assigned) a Service Order issued by ServiceLive or its affiliates must promptly release such Service Order on the Site.
Employees of Sears Holdings can not accept Service Orders from Sears Holdings.
4. Payments and Disputes.
A. Payments. Unless otherwise approved by ServiceLive in advance and in writing, all payments related to Service Orders must be made through the ServiceLive authorized payment system (the "Payment System"). Use of the Payment System is subject to the following separate terms and conditions. ServiceLive has no obligation to pay Provider Firms, but may do so on behalf of its affiliates and certain commercial Buyers for whom ServiceLive has separately agreed in writing to provide such Service. You authorize ServiceLive to deduct from funds due you from the Payment System any amounts you owe ServiceLive. If you use a credit card to fund your ServiceLive Wallet, you authorize ServiceLive to charge your account a $1 fee to validate your account whenever your post a Service Order (which fees will be automatically reversed).
When your job is done to your satisfaction - the Payment System makes it easy to pay your provider.
No more writing checks while the provider is standing on your doorstep.
B. Disputes. No payment will be made to Provider Firm until you click the "Approve to Pay" button. You may elect to dispute all or a portion of the agreed upon charges under a Service Order. ServiceLive does not control your decisions and ServiceLive can not compel payment by you. If you fail to pay a Provider Firm for services they provide, they may attempt to enforce any rights they have for payment directly against you. ServiceLive may provide limited assistance in resolving disputes between Buyers and Providers Firms when both parties agree to participate in ServiceLive's voluntary dispute resolution assistance process and when final payment for services has not been issued. By participating in such process: (I) you authorized ServiceLive to disclose to the other party all information that ServiceLive has regards to the dispute (including information provided by you), (II) you waive any claims against ServiceLive or its representatives (including members of the dispute resolution committee) arising in connection with your use of the dispute resolution process (including any claims related to any recommended resolutions of your dispute) and your further agree to indemnify and hold harmless ServiceLive and its representatives from such claims.
You should try to work out any dispute directly with the provider and then update your Service Order.
If you don't pay your provider for work they performed - they may have an issue with that. (Wouldn't you)?
We offer a voluntary dispute resolution process to help you and the provider find common ground if there is a dispute.
5. Ratings. The Site includes a proprietary rating system for Buyers, Providers and Provider Firms which allows you to rate, on a variety of factors, each Provider who completes a Service Order. All ratings submitted by Members will be deemed User Content. In addition, ServiceLive may: (A) collect information on you and your Personnel's use of the Site, (B) collect information about the Provider Firm's (and its Providers') use of the Site (including number of Service Orders accepted, number of Service Orders cancelled/rejected, etc.), and then (C) combine such information into a rating for you and/or separate ratings for the Provider Firm and/or each Provider who has a profile on the Site, and (D) display such information to other Members and/or other users of the Site. ServiceLive reserves the right to reject certain ratings, but ServiceLive is not responsible for the User Content of Member ratings. Each Member is responsible for ratings posted on its behalf and must comply with the Terms when making such ratings.
Ratings - we love them!
We ask for a rating on every job. Tell us how your provider did good or bad.
This helps the provider get better and it helps the other Buyers.
6. Criminal Background Checks. ServiceLive requires as that each Provider pass, from time to time, a background check, as required by ServiceLive, in its sole discretion. You acknowledge that such checks will be performed by a third party and that ServiceLive will have no liability for such background checks, regardless of whether ServiceLive selects the background check provider and/or pays for the background checks. Further, you acknowledge that every background check process has limitations and that ServiceLive does not represent that a Provider Firm or a Provider who has passed such a check does not have a criminal history or criminal propensities. You acknowledge that you must determine for yourself what, if any, reliance you choose to place on such checks.
We require a 3rd party background check on every Provider.
Providers who fail that check are not allowed to be Providers on our Site.
No process is perfect - so consider all available info. before inviting a provider into your home.
7. Default. In the event that you (or any of your Personnel) breach of any of these Terms, ServiceLive has the right to immediately suspend and/or terminate your Membership for cause. Such breaches include:
