You are responsible for regularly reviewing information posted on the Sites and Services to obtain timely notice of such changes. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you agree to immediately stop using the Sites and Services and to provide Mod24 notice to remove you from any distribution lists or other communication lists that are available to you through your use of the Sites and Services. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE AND SERVICES AFTER SUCH POSTING (OR OTHER NOTIFICATION, IF ANY) MEANS YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE MODIFIED TERMS OF USE.

Subject to full compliance with these Terms of Use, Mod24 grants authorized users a nonexclusive, non transferable, non sublicensable, terminable license to access and use the Sites and Services for your personal use. You agree to not access, reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, re-sell, modify, distribute, transmit, or otherwise exploit the Sites or Services or any of their content for any purpose except for your personal use and as described in these Terms of Use, without the express written consent of Mod24. Mod24 may modify, update, suspend or discontinue the Sites and Services, in whole or in part, at our sole discretion for any or no reason, at any time and with or without notice. Mod24 shall not be liable to any user or other third party for any such modification, update, suspension or discontinuance.
THE MOD24 PLATFORM CONNECTS MOVERS AND CLIENTS
The Mod24 Platform is a web-based communications platform which enables connections between Clients and Movers.“Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to procure moving services (“Moves”) from Movers and are therefore clients of Movers, and “Movers” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform Moves for Clients. Clients and Movers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.” If you agree on the terms of a Move with another User, you and such other User form a Service Agreement directly between the two of you as set forth in more detail in below.
MOVERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF CLIENTS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR FRANCHISEES OF COMPANY. COMPANY DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPANY DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A MOVER’S WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE WORK PERFORMED AND THE TASKS IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE.
The Mod24 Platform only enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Moves. Company is not responsible for the performance or communications of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Moves, Movers, Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings provided by Users with respect to each other. Company makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Moves requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the Mod24 Platform, whether in public, private, or offline interactions or otherwise howsoever.
CONTRACT BETWEEN CLIENTS AND MOVERS
You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you agree on the terms of a Move with another User. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this section, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Mod24 Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the Mover and their Client to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, including this section, and do not expand Company’s obligations or restrict Company’s rights under this Agreement. You agree that Company is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Mod24 and the Mover (or Assistants (as defined below)), nor will it create an employment relationship between the Client and the Mover (or Assistants (as defined below)). For the avoidance of doubt, the Service Agreement or any Moves booked on the Mod24 Platform will not create any employment or other service relationship between Mod24 and the Client or any Client affiliated entity or person. Company’s role is restricted solely to acting as a limited payment collection agent for the Mover through the Mod24 Platform based on the Moves Movers perform. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for particular Moves on the Mod24 Platform, Mod24 disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Mover, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Mover, either within or outside of the Mod24 Platform.
Where approved in advance by the Client, the Mover is not obligated to personally perform the Move. Before any Move services are performed by any assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel engaged by the Mover (collectively “Assistants”), the Mover shall require any such individuals to become a fully registered, oriented and verified Mover on the Mod24 Platform. A Mover’s failure to comply with this provision by bringing an Assistant who is not a registered Mover could lead to removal from the Mod24 Platform. The Mover assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Assistants, including without limitation the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable income tax withholdings as to the Mover and all persons engaged by the Mover in the performance of the Move services.
While using the Mod24 Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Move is performed and/or completed. Clients who elect not to be present when a Move is performed and/or completed agree that if someone other than them (i.e. spouse, roommate, friend, etc.) is present when the Move is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent (“Client’s Agent”) and the Mover may take and follow direction from the Client’s Agent as if such direction was given from the Client him or herself.
The Client shall pay their Mover directly for completed Moves services through the payment processor as indicated on the Mod24 Platform at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each User agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Move. Both Users agree to notify Company of any disputes prior to negotiation of or filing of any claims and to negotiate any dispute informally via Company representatives for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any proceeding. Mod24 reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account or Move pending the resolution of any dispute.
When using, accessing, or purchasing particular services or features of the Sites and Services, you shall be subject to any posted agreements, guidelines, or rules applicable to such services or features that may be posted from time to time. All such agreements, guidelines, or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use.

BREACH OF TERMS OF USE AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
You understand that the content in each report or record on Mod24 has significant value to Mod24 and that the damage caused to Mod24 for any violation of these Terms of Use pertaining to a report or record will be difficult to accurately estimate.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms of Use and other agreements, rules, and policies incorporated by reference to these Terms including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Mod24.

You agree and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California and waive any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue or forum non conveniens to a claim brought in such court, except that Mod24 may elect, in its sole discretion, to litigate the action in the county or state where any breach by you occurred or where you can be found.
