ELIGIBILITY, SERVICE MEMBER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND USE OF THE PLATFORM

Access to and use of the Platform is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are eligible.

By registering or using the Platform to offer, post, or provide Pro Services, Service Members represent and warrant that they, and the employees, agents, contractors, and subcontractors who may perform work for them, are properly and fully qualified and experienced, and licensed, certified, bonded, and insured, as required by applicable laws or regulations to which they may be subject in the jurisdiction(s) in which they offer their Pro Services and in relation to the specific job they are performing. Service Members otherwise agree to comply with all applicable laws in their use of the Platform and any personal information obtained from the Platform.

E-manthus is not in the business of providing Pro Services. Service Members understand and agree that by creating and maintaining an account on the Platform, they receive only the ability to use the E-manthus Platform to access persons interested in receiving Pro Services and related tools, including but not limited to the ability to message those persons or schedule appointments, that facilitate the provision of Pro Services. For example, Customer Members may use the Platform to intentionally interact with Service Members regarding Pro Services. Service Members understand and agree that using the Platform does not guarantee that anyone will engage them for Pro Services.

Service Members understand and agree that they are customers of E-manthus, and are not E-manthus employees, joint venturers, partners, or agents. Service Members acknowledge that they set or confirm their own prices, provide their own equipment, and determine their own work schedule. E-manthus does not control, and has no right to control, the services a Service Member provides (including how the Service Member provides such services) if the Service Member is engaged by a Customer Member or any other person, except as specifically noted herein.

E-manthus , as permitted by applicable laws, obtains reports regarding Service Members, which may include history of criminal convictions or sex offender registration, and we may limit, block, suspend, deactivate, or cancel a Service Member’s account based on the results of such a check. As a Service Member, you agree and authorize us to use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports from E-manthus’s vendors.

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND OTHER SUBMISSIONS

Users may access the Platform without registering for an account. To access and participate in certain features of the Platform, you will need to create a password-protected account ("Account"). You may register for an Account using certain third-party account and log-in credentials (your "Third-Party Site Password"), such as your Facebook or Google credentials. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration or request submission process and at all other times when you use the Platform, and to update information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your E-manthus password and, if applicable, your Third-Party Site Password. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs on your Account, and you will notify E-manthus immediately of any unauthorized use. E-manthus  is not liable for any losses by any party caused by an unauthorized use of your Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may be liable for the losses of E-manthus or others due to such unauthorized use. Your account is nontransferable except with E-manthus’s written permission and in line with E-manthus policies and procedures.

Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (a) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content that you make available on or through the Platform or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to E-manthus the rights in such User Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (b) neither the User Content nor your posting, uploading, publication, submission or transmittal of the User Content or E-manthus's use of your User Content (or any portion thereof) on, through or by means of the Platform will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation. While it has no obligation to do so, you agree that E-manthus may proofread, summarize or otherwise edit and/or withdraw your User Content, and you understand it remains your sole responsibility to monitor your User Content and ensure that such edited Content is accurate and consistent with your representations and warranties in these Terms.

In the rare event a dispute regarding an interaction related to the Platform cannot be resolved independently, you agree, at E-manthus's request, to participate in good faith, to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, in a neutral resolution or mediation conducted by E-manthus or a neutral third-party mediator or arbitrator selected by E-manthus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that E-manthus is under no obligation to become involved in or impose resolution in any dispute between or among users or any third party.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

E-manthus Content is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the Kingdom of Lesotho, foreign countries, and international conventions. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, E-manthus and its licensors exclusively own all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform and E-manthus Content, including all associated intellectual property rights.

NO ENDORSEMENT

E-manthus  does not endorse any Member, user, or any Pro Services, and E-manthus is not a party to any agreements between or among users, Members, or third parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Terms or any user's or Member's use of any part of the Platform, including but not limited to any scheduling or other services. Neither E-manthus nor any Members or users of the Platform may direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other, or create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although E-manthus may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any user or their purported identity or background, regardless of the specific E-manthus services they are using or any involvement by E-manthus personnel in providing or scheduling those services.

Any reference on the Platform to a user being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or "badged," "best of," "top," "background checked" (or similar language) designations indicates only that the user has completed a relevant account process or met user review standards, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by E-manthus and is not verification of their identity and whether they or their Pro Services are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Platform. You should always exercise responsibility, due diligence and care when deciding whether to have any interaction with any other user. E-manthus offers a non-exhaustive list of safety tips to consider when hiring a Service Member. E-manthus has no responsibility for any damage or harm resulting from for your interactions with other users.

ARBITRATION AND WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with E-manthus as follows:

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. Except for intellectual property the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Emanthus's support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, as described below.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court of law. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

 Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND E-MANTHUS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Changes to This Section: E-manthus will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Arbitration and Waiver section by posting on the E-manthus Terms of Use website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the E-manthus Terms of Use website or sent to you.

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Waiver section in existence after you began using the Platform.

Survival: This Arbitration and Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or the Platform.

Third-Party Beneficiary: You and E-manthus acknowledge that any third party consumer reporting agency that E-manthus uses to perform background checks on Service Members is an express and intended third party beneficiary of this arbitration provision and as such, the terms of this Arbitration provision will inure to the benefit of the consumer reporting agencies and may be enforced by them. Accordingly, you agree that any dispute that arises between you and a consumer reporting agency that relates to or arises out of this Agreement or any aspect of your relationship with E-manthus will be resolved by binding arbitration. If any court or arbitrator determines that this third-party beneficiary subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Waiver,” and the remainder of the section shall remain enforceable, meaning that the class action waiver and the mutual obligation to resolve disputes between you and E-manthus through binding arbitration remains enforceable.

GOVERNING LAW

The Terms and the relationship between you and E-manthus shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Kinngdom of Lesotho.

DISCLAIMERS

YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, PRO SERVICES, OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT SHALL BE SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
