The Custom Cutz Mobile Services

Custom Cutz Mobile is a platform that connects contractors, Cosmetologists, Barbers, and Pro Partners (collectively or individually, “Pro Partners”) providing hair, beauty services (“Styling Services”) with clients seeking such services (“Clients” or “you”). The Pro Partners and Clients are both users of the Services provided by Custom Cutz Mobile and are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Users.”

Custom Cutz Mobile Solely provides a platform for Pro Partners and Clients to connect and serves only as a medium to facilitate the provision of Styling Services. Custom Cutz Mobile does not provide or contract for Styling Services, and Pro Partners and Clients contract independently for the provision of Styling Services. Each Client is Solely responsible for selecting the Pro Partner, the Styling Services to be provided and the location at which Styling Services will be performed providing it meets Company safety standards. Any decision by a Client to receive Styling Services or by a Pro Partner to provide Styling Services is a decision made at such person’s Sole discretion and their own risk. All Users understand and acknowledge that (i) the Company does not conduct background checks on Clients and (ii) any provision of Services in a private location inherently increases the risks involved for both Clients and Pro Partners.

Custom Cutz Mobile does not have control over the quality, suitability, reliability, timing, durability, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of any Styling Services provided by Pro Partners nor of the integrity, responsibility, or any of the actions or omissions of any Pro Partners or Clients. However, Custom Cutz Mobile will take into account any report, concerns, or complaints made by any User, after a thorough inspection of all findings and/or claims in providing service(s) by our Pro Partners in future service requests.

Custom Cutz Mobile makes no representations or warranties for Styling Services offered or provided by Pro Partners or requested by Clients through use of the Services, whether, in public, private, or offline interactions, or about the accreditation, registration, or licensing of any Pro Partner other than the state-mandated registration and certification of licensure. You understand that Custom Cutz Mobile does not screen its Users, inquire into the background of its Users, however, we do verify all information provided by any Pro Partner. Custom Cutz Mobile does verify or confirm that any User is who they claim to be or is accurately representing themselves and does verify before and at the time of service to confirm any representations with respect to Styling Services on the platform. Custom Cutz Mobile does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of this information that is not included in the Application or any information provided through the Services.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Custom Cutz Mobile may check the background and experience of Pro Partners via third-party background check services and first-party interviews, including but not limited to a verification of identity and a criminal background check and first-party interviews. Whether or not Custom Cutz Mobile conducts a background check or first party interview on a Pro Partner, each Client must decide whether a Pro Partner is suited to such Client’s needs and should exercise caution and common sense to protect their personal safety and property, just as they would when interacting with anyone you don’t know. NEITHER COMPANY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE SERVICES AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS FROM ANY LIABILITY RELATED THERETO.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Service (“Dispute”), you and Custom Cutz Mobile agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to Custom Cutz Mobile. Custom Cutz Mobile’s address for such notices is Custom Cutz Mobile, Attention: Agent of service.

 

Binding Arbitration

If you and Custom Cutz Mobile are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from the use of the Services (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the rules of the International Arbitration Center (“IAC”) and, where appropriate, the IAC’s Supplementary Procedures, both of which are available at the IAC website www.jamsadr.com. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the IAC Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the IAC Consumer Rules). If your claim for damages does not exceed USD 10,000, Custom Cutz Mobile will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards outlined in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will decide in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, you and Custom Cutz Mobile App may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

You and Custom Cutz Mobile App agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Custom Cutz Mobile and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND CUSTOM CUTZ MOBILE APP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Custom Cutz Mobile otherwise agree, 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.

 

Location of Arbitration

The arbitration will take place in Denver, CO. You and Custom Cutz Mobile agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the Colorado State and Federal Courts located in Denver, CO have exclusive jurisdiction and you and Custom Cutz Mobile agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

 

Right to Opt-out of Arbitration and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

You may opt-out of the foregoing arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision of these Terms of Service by notifying Custom Cutz Mobile in writing within 30 days of the date your first registered for the Services or a Subscription or 30 days from the date these Terms of Service were last updated. To opt-out, you must send a written notification to Custom Cutz Mobile at Custom Cutz Mobile, Attention:Agent of service, that includes (a) your user identification, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address and (f) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt-out of the above arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver sections.

Governing Law

You and Custom Cutz Mobile agree that, other than as set forth under the subsection entitled “Waiver of Right to be a Plaintiff or Class Member in a Purported Class Action or Representative Proceeding” in the Section above, if any portion of the Section above entitled “Dispute Resolution” is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder of these Terms of Service will be given full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the subsection entitled “Exceptions to Alternative Dispute Resolution” is found to be illegal or unenforceable, neither you nor Custom Cutz Mobile will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of that subsection that is found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Colorado, and you and Custom Cutz Mobile agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Except as expressly provided otherwise, these Terms of Service are governed by and will be construed under, the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to choice of law principles.

Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, the enforceability of Section 15 entitled “Dispute Resolution” shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16).
