TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- BOOK NOW SERVICES
The Company, through its technology
platform, makes available certain home services under its Dohoneydolist
Services division to individuals seeking to obtain home services (“Requesters”)
that the Company fulfills using independently-established home service
providers customarily engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business of providing
the services requested (“Service Providers”). Certain of these services are
“Book Now Services,” for which you will pay the Company for your home service
upfront and o book the time and date of your service through our online portal.
Book Now Services also include services for which you pay upfront through the
Company’s retail partners, either on the partners’ websites or in their retail
stores.
- SCREENING FOR BOOK NOW SERVICES
- For Book Now Services, we use a multi-step
process to screen potential Service Providers, as described further
below. The process is designed to filter qualified potential Service
Providers with appropriate backgrounds in compliance with applicable law.
For Book Now Services, we currently use a third-party background check
provider, Checkr, Inc., to conduct the background checks. The eligibility
criteria for Service Providers may be modified from time to time by the
Company without notice to you. With respect to criminal background
checks, you acknowledge and understand that the Company makes no
guarantee with respect to the accuracy, reliability or quality of
information received from any such third parties. You further understand
and acknowledge that the Company relies upon representations from the
Service Provider with respect to certain information pertaining to the
Service Provider. The Company has no obligation or duty to perform or
disclose the results of criminal background, financial, licensure or other
information received from any investigation or background check.
- You should make whatever
investigation or other resources that you deem necessary or appropriate
before participating in Book Now Services. THE COMPANY PERFORMS SCREENING
SOLELY AT THE TIME THE SERVICE PROVIDER APPLIES TO REGISTER WITH THE
COMPANY. THE COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT A
SERVICE PROVIDER’S PROFILE AND BACKGROUND CHECK SCREENING INFORMATION IS
UP TO DATE. THE COMPANY IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE A SERVICE
PROVIDER'S BACKGROUND CHECK OR PROFILE. THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER INCLUDING SERVICE
PROVIDERS, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BOOK NOW SERVICES.
- PAYMENT FOR BOOK NOW SERVICES;
TRUST & SAFETY FEE; SPECIAL PROMOTIONS
- Either prior to a scheduled Book Now Service
or immediately following the scheduled end time of a Book Now Service, we
will charge the Requester's credit card for those Book Now Services the
Requester has ordered, and for all purchases and payments for
reimbursement costs, fees, expenses or applicable taxes associated with a
Book Now Service, and the Requester hereby authorizes us to charge any
credit card on file in the Requester's Dohoneydolist account or other
previously approved payment methods for such amounts. We will use third
party services to process credit card information. By accepting this
Agreement, you are giving the Company (or a third-party payment processor
on the Company's behalf) permission to charge any on-file credit card,
debit card, or other previously approved methods of payment for fees that
you owe the Company. Depending on the transaction you selected or
services requested, the Company may charge you on a one-time or recurring
basis. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or
transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Book Now
Services must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all
charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other
payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other
monetary transaction interaction with the Company at the prices in effect
when such charges are incurred. We retain the right, in our sole
discretion, to place a hold on the Requester's credit card for an ordered
or completed Book Now Service transaction. Seventy-two (72) after a Book
Now Service is completed, if there is no complaint by the Requester, we
will mark the Book Now Service as closed.
- Except for the Company’s
Happiness Guarantee as set forth at http://legal.homeadvisor.com/#guarantee, no refunds or credits will be provided once the
Requester's credit card has been charged, except that at our sole
discretion, refunds or credits may be granted in extenuating
circumstances. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure the security of all credit card and all other personal
information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any damage that may
result should any information be released to any third parties, and you
agree to hold us harmless for any damages that may result therefrom.
Requesters will be liable for all transaction taxes on the Book Now
Service(s) provided (other than taxes based on the Company's income). If
we determine that your actions or performance may result in returns,
chargebacks, claims, disputes, violations of our terms or policies, or
other risks to the Company or third parties, then the Company may
withhold any payments to you for as long as we determine any related
risks to the Company or third parties persist. For any amounts that we
determine you owe us, we may (i) offset any amounts that are payable by
you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise) against any payments we may
make to you or amounts we may owe you; (ii) invoice you for amounts due
to us, in which case you will pay the invoiced amounts upon receipt;
(iii) reverse any credits to your bank account; or (iv) collect payment
or reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. If we determine that
your account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal
activity, or to repeatedly violate this Agreement, then we may in our
sole discretion permanently withhold any payments to you.
- Recurrent Service with Automatic
Renewal and Recurring Charges.
- Recurring Service: When requesting certain
Book Now Services, Requesters may have the option of choosing that the
Book Now Service be repeated on a regular basis (“Recurrent Service”).
For example, a Requester may choose that a cleaning be performed every
two weeks. When a Requester chooses a Recurrent Service, the Company
will automatically schedule that Recurrent Service to occur on future
dates indefinitely at the frequency requested by Requester. The Company
cannot guarantee that the same Service Provider will be available for
each Recurrent Service appointment or that Recurrent Service appointments
will not be canceled or modified.
- BILLING, RECURRING CHARGES AND
AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: When a Requester signs up
for a Recurrent Service, Requester will be charged for the initial
booking as provided in Section 3(a). THEREAFTER, REQUESTER'S AGREEMENT
TO PAY FOR THE BOOK NOW SERVICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND REQUESTER'S
CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED THE SAME NON-PROMOTIONAL AMOUNT, AS
ORIGINALLY DISCLOSED TO REQUESTER AT THE TIME OF SIGNING UP FOR THE
RECURRENT SERVICE, IN ADVANCE OF EACH AUTOMATICALLY SCHEDULED BOOK NOW
SERVICE APPOINTMENT, AS WELL AS FOR ANY APPLICABLE CANCELLATION FEES AND
TAXES.
- CANCELLATION OF AUTOMATICALLY
RENEWING RECURRING SERVICE: Requesters may cancel the
automatically renewing Recurrent Service AT ANY TIME by
visiting the Dohoneydolist Services Help Center at https://dohoneydolistservices.zendesk.com/hc/en-us or by mailing a notice of cancellation to Dohoneydolist,
Attn: Legal, 130 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204. REQUESTERS
MUST CANCEL MORE THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS PRIOR TO THEIR NEXT BOOK NOW
SERVICE IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED CANCELLATION FEES AND/OR FOR
THEIR NEXT BOOK NOW SERVICE PURSUANT TO THE COMPANY'S CANCELLATION
POLICY AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.
- Dohoneydolist Trust and Support
Fee.
The Company may assess an additional "Trust and Support Fee" to
support the Book Now Services, including costs related to background
checks, insurance, customer support, and related services provided to you
by the Company in connection with the Book Now Services. The Trust and
Support Fee will be applied to each appointment of a Professional Service
requested through the Book Now Services (e.g., if you requested a
Recurrent Service, a Trust and Support Fee may be assessed on each
Recurrent Service appointment). The amount of the Trust and Support Fee
may vary but shall be retained by the Company in its entirety.
- Dormant Account Service Charge. An account is considered
dormant/inactive if it has had no activity for a period of six (6)
months. Activity would include applying any portion of a credit balance
to payment for Professional Services. Where permitted by applicable law,
a dormant account fee of up to $10 is assessed monthly until the account
is reactivated or the balance has reached zero. To reactivate your
account, please visit the Dohoneydolist Services Help Center at https://dohoneydolistservices.zendesk.com/hc/en-us.
- Referral Discounts. In the event that you are given
a code through which you may refer a friend to Book Now Services in
exchange for a referral discount, you shall not use any online marketing
or advertising to promote such code or to artificially increase the
amount of credits awarded. By way of example, you may not post, or cause,
request or permit a third party to post any such code on a coupon website,
nor use any paid search marketing, online advertising, forum posting,
newsgroup posting or bulk email to disseminate such code. You may only
share such code with your personal friends and acquaintances for
legitimate referral purposes, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
The Company’s referral discounts are redeemable for Book Now Services or
service requests paid for through Dohoneydolist Pay on the Dohoneydolist
App. The Company’s referral discounts have no cash value and are not
redeemable for cash unless otherwise required by law. Without limiting

- MUTUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
- Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and
reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim, past, present, or
future, between you and the Company, including without limitation any
dispute or claim related to or arising out of this Agreement (“Dispute”),
you and the Company may attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally (the
“Informal Negotiations”) before initiating any arbitration or
court proceeding. Such Informal Negotiations will commence upon written
notice. Your address for any notices under this section is your email
address and/or physical address that you have provided to the Company.
The Company’s address for such notices is: legal@dohoneydolist.com and/or by mail to Dohoneydolist, Attn: Legal, 130 E.
Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204.
- Arbitration. If a Dispute is not
resolved through Informal Negotiations, you and the Company agree to
resolve any and all Disputes (except those Disputes expressly excluded
below) through final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”).
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration
Act and evidences a transaction involving commerce. The arbitration will
be commenced and conducted before a single arbitrator under the
Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate,
the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA
Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website
(www.adr.org). Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator
compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate,
limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If you are unable to pay such costs,
the Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Each party will
pay the fees for his/her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to
which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. The
arbitrator will make a decision in writing. Additionally, the arbitrator,
and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the
exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this
Arbitration Agreement. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to
the “Class Action Waiver” described in Section d below.
- Excluded Disputes. You and the Company agree
that the following Disputes are excluded from this Arbitration Agreement:
(1) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity
of, any of your or our intellectual property rights; (2) individual
claims in small claims court; (3) any claim that an applicable federal
statute expressly states cannot be arbitrated; and (4) any claim for
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without
such relief the arbitration provided in this Arbitration Agreement may be
rendered ineffectual.
- WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF
OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION. You and the Company agree
to bring any Dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not
as a class or collective action. There will be no right or authority for
any Dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective
action (“Class Action Waiver”). Regardless of anything else in
this Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable AAA Rules or AAA
Consumer Rules, the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or
formation of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court
and not an arbitrator.
- Rules/Standards Governing
Arbitration Proceeding. A party who wishes to
arbitrate a Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement must initiate
an arbitration proceeding no later than the expiration of the statute of
limitations that applicable law prescribes for the claim asserted. The
arbitrator shall apply the statute of limitations that would have applied
if the Dispute had been brought in court. The arbitrator may award any
remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies
shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in their
individual capacity, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to
an individual under applicable law will be forfeited. The arbitrator is
without authority to apply any different substantive law. The parties
have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery and present witnesses
and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any
dispute in this regard shall be decided by the arbitrator. The location
of the arbitration proceeding shall take place in the city or county where
you reside, unless each party agrees otherwise. A court of competent
jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the
arbitrator's decision/award.
- Severability. You and the Company agree
that if any portion of this section entitled “Mutual Arbitration
Agreement” is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion will be
severed and the remainder of this Section 27 will be given full force and
effect.
- GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; TIME
LIMITATION FOR CLAIMS
Except
for the Arbitration Agreement in Section 27, which is governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act and except as may be prohibited by the law of the State in
which you primarily reside, this Agreement is governed and interpreted pursuant
to the laws of the State of Indiana, United States of America, notwithstanding
any principles of conflicts of law. For all Disputes not subject to
arbitration, You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of the courts located within the county of Marion, Indiana. You agree that
regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action
arising out or related to your use of the Company’s platform, websites or apps
or this Agreement shall be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause
of action arose or will forever be barred.
- INDEPENDENT SERVICE PROVIDERS
THE
COMPANY PROVIDES A SOFTWARE PLATFORM WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO PURCHASE BOOK NOW
SERVICES FROM THE COMPANY THAT THE COMPANY FULFILLS USING INDEPENDENT SERVICE
PROVIDERS. THE COMPANY IS NOT THE EMPLOYER OF ANY SERVICE PROVIDER AND SERVICE

Agreement or your use of the Company’s properties. You acknowledge and agree
that each of the Members shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this
