Background Checks and Licensure
You agree, as a condition to your use of the Applications and delivery of the Services, that at all times during your provision of Services, you and your Personnel will abide by the Background Check Policy and that all of your Personnel will have completed a satisfactory background check prior to delivering services to any Lula Customer. If Lula orders or conducts a background check for any of your Personnel, you agree to obtain the necessary consent from your Personnel for such check and that Lula is authorized to deduct the fees for such background check from any amounts payable to you for any job that you perform for Customers. Lula will charge and you will a background check fee of $35 per Personnel, per background check (the “Background Check Fee”). Lula may increase the Background Check Fee at any time in its discretion with or without notice. If requested by Lula, you agree to complete, sign, and return a self-certification form (in the form approved by Lula) stating that you have performed background checks on all Personnel that provide Services. In addition to (but not in derogation of) to the requirements set forth in the Background Check Policy, you agree that neither you nor your Personnel will enter the home, dwelling, apartment, office, or other property of a Customer (as defined below) or its tenants unless the Customer has requested services through the Applications and you are conducting such entry solely to provide the Services for an Accepted Job Request that you accepted.
You agree to provide to Lula, on an annual basis, written certifications that all of your Personnel hold and maintain the requisite professional licensure to perform the Services (and to provide copies of such licenses to Lula upon request).
Lula may adopt additional personal, licensure, professional, background, and other standards and requirements for Personnel from time to time. You and your Personnel shall adhere to these standards at all times while providing Services.
Failure to (a) maintain required licensure or certifications for Personnel; (b) conduct background checks on Personnel; or (c) complete the self-certification form provided by Lula may result in suspension or termination of your account with Lula (and any jobs in process), without refund.
Rights
You acknowledge and agree that the Applications are provided to you under license, and are not sold to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in, or any other rights to, the Applications under this SLA other than to use the Applications in accordance with the license granted, and subject to all terms, conditions, and restrictions, under this SLA and the Terms and Conditions. Lula and its licensors reserve and shall retain their entire right, title, and interest in and to the Applications, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto, except as expressly granted to you in this SLA or the Terms and Conditions.
Customer Relationships
By allowing you to receive Job Requests and service Accepted Job Requests, Lula will be placing you in a position of trust with its Services Providers, customers, and its customers tenants (each, a “Lula Relationship”). Therefore, you agree that at all times while you are providing services to Lula or the Lula Relationships, and for a period of one (1) year following the latter of the last date that you provide services to Lula or the Lula Relationships or the date that your user account is deactivated from the Applications, you agree that you shall not solicit, induce, influence, or encourage any Lula Relationship to alter, terminate, or breach its contractual relationship with Lula, or solicit the business of such Lula Relationship to provide goods or services that are similar to the Services or that would compete with the goods and services offered by Lula. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section restricts you from soliciting business in the normal course of your business (such as through general advertisements), so long as you do not use any Confidential Information in such advertisements and such solicitations are not directed at any Lula Relationship. You agree that while interacting with any Lula Relationship, that you and your Personnel shall communicate and operate in a manner that would not damage Lula’s relationship with any Lula Relationships.
Services
The Applications constitute a technology platform that enables you to accept Job Requests that are submitted by customers (the “Customers”) pertaining to property maintenance and other property services (and corresponding goods) designated within the Applications, as updated and modified by Lula from time to time (the “Services”). Notwithstanding the foregoing and any list set forth within the Applications, you are limited to providing only the Services that you and your Personnel are legally and professionally (as determined in Lula’s sole discretion) qualified to provide, in each case within your Personnel’s professional licensure and certifications, and you may not select Job Requests outside of your licensure and certifications. You may also only provide Services for jobs within the permitted geographical proximity to your Personnel (as set out in the Applications). Lula reserves the right to reject one or more Service designations with respect to you and to limit the Job Requests that may be made available to or accepted by you. A “Job” means a project for the delivery of the Services to a Customer that is generated through Lula’s Applications. A “Job Request” means a request for a Job that is (a) created by a Customer and listed through the Applications; (b) available for you to claim or accept through the Applications (including being within the permitted physical geographical proximity to your Personnel using the Applications at the time such request is issued by the Customer). An “Accepted Job Request” means a Job Request that has been accepted by you or your Personnel in the manner permitted by the Applications. “Personnel” means you, your employees, your contractors, and your owners (as applicable).
The selection of Job Requests will be made at your sole discretion. You are not obligated to accept Job Requests; however, once you accept a Job Request, you are obligated to perform the Job according to the terms of this SLA.
Lula is not rendering any professional opinions as to the sufficiency or appropriateness of any Services that you may provide to any Customer. You shall actively supervise all Personnel providing the Services (or Additional Services, if applicable) and shall promptly take remedial action with respect to any such Personnel upon your discovery of facts or circumstances that could give rise to damages or liability for Lula, its Customers, or its other third-party providers of Services (“Service Providers”).
Once you are onsite, you may provide quotes or bids to a Customer for services that are additional to the services the Customer requested within the Job Request (“Additional Services”); provided, that, if the Additional Services are a type of services included in the Services, otherwise offered by Lula, or a planned expansion of the Services, (a) you must first contact Lula before delivering any such quote or bid; (b) Lula reserves the sole right to approve or deny any such Additional Services; (c) the Customer’s payment for and receipt of the Additional Services shall be conducted solely through the Applications (or other means approved by Lula) and is subject to this SLA; and (d) Lula shall be deemed to be the customer of such Additional Services for the purposes of payments made for such Additional Services. In the event that the Additional Services are not the type of services included within the Services or are not facilitated through the Applications, (aa) such Additional Services provided shall be provided solely by you in your individual capacity and not as an agent, Service Provider, or affiliate of Lula and (bb) LULA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE, AND SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LULA HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, COSTS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ASSESSMENTS, THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, WARRANTIES, TAXES, OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND ARISING OR RESULTING FROM THE DELIVERY OF SUCH ADDITIONAL SERVICES.
After you have provided the Services, Customers will have the opportunity to rate your delivery of the Services and leave additional feedback about you. By using the Applications and in exchange for the other consideration provided to you hereunder, you consent to receiving such feedback and to Lula’s modification, retention, or deletion of such feedback in Lulu’s sole discretion. You agree that under no circumstances will you or your Personnel contact the Customer or otherwise respond to a Customer regarding his or her feedback.
Arrival Times and Performance
You must arrive at each Job location of an Accepted Job Request, and Lula must receive confirmation of your arrival, within the time frame requested by the Customer for the Job Request (in each case, the “Arrival Time”). All Accepted Job Requests must be completed by you within a reasonable time of arrival and as designated by Lula (if so designated).
If you (a) cancel an Accepted Job Request within 24 hours of the Arrival Time (or within the same day the Accepted Job Request is to be performed), or (b) do not arrive at an Accepted Job Request by the Arrival Time, then you shall pay to Lula a $35 cancellation fee (the “Cancellation Fee”) on the same day as such cancellation or no-show. Lula may adjust or waive the Cancellation Fee at any time at its discretion, with or without notice to you and without impairing its rights.
If you arrive at the Job location of an Accepted Job Request that has been confirmed by Lula and you are unable to complete the Accepted Job Request within the scheduled Job time due to the failure of a Customer or its tenants or customers to have an individual present within a reasonable time of the scheduled Job arrival time (as designated by Lula) that results in you being unable to access areas of the Job for which Services are to be provided, Lula shall reserve the option to pay to you a one-time fee of $50 at its sole discretion.
Fees & Set Off
You understand that all fees payable by a Customer for the performance of Services for an Accepted Job Request will be as set forth by Lula in the Job Request confirmation ("Fees") and belong solely to Lula. To the extent that you retain any ownership interest in the Fees, you hereby assign your rights in the Fees to Lula. Lula reserves the right to increase, adjust, and/or waive the Fees at any time at its sole discretion, with or without notice to you. By accepting any Job Request, you agree to not contest any of the Fees established by Lula for the Job and acknowledge that you have no rights or interest in the Fees or Transaction Costs (defined below). Transaction Costs shall be deemed fully earned by Lula upon a Customer’s submission of a Job Request. After Lula receives confirmation that you have completed the Job, Lula will pay to you an amount equal to 85%-90% of the Fees payable by the Customer for the completed Job (the “Service Fee”) within two (2) to three (3) business days following Lula’s confirmation of your completion of the Job; provided, that payment of Service Fees for the first Job you complete shall be paid no sooner than five (5) days following completion of the Job. Lula may adjust the Service Fee at any time with or without notice to you. Fees will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law and may be adjusted as follows:
- Once you are onsite at a Job, you may request that Lula adjust the Fees based on your good faith determination that the actual Job exceeds the project scope provided to you in the Job Request. If Lula, in our sole discretion, approves your Fee adjustment, Lula will (a) provide written confirmation of the Fee adjustment to you; (b) adjust the Fees within the Job Request; and (c) pay you the adjusted Service Fees upon Lula’s notification that you have completed the Job. If Lula does not approve your Fee adjustment, the Fees shall remain unchanged. However, if the ticket for an Accepted Job Request has a “not to exceed” amount listed, and your requested Fee increase does not exceed the “not to exceed” amount, Lula’s prior approval will not be required, so long as you report the additional Fee amount to Lula and such additional amounts are collected and remitted solely by Lula.
- Lula reserves the right to establish, remove, and/or adjust the Fees and Service Fees for any or all Services at any time in Lula’s sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Fees and Service Fees applicable in certain geographical areas may fluctuate.
- Lula may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the Applications. Lula may apply such promotional offers and discounts to the Fees without notice to you and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts shall have no bearing on your delivery of the Services (and that your Service Fees will be proportionally adjusted).
- Lula may set off against and deduct from any amounts owing to you, the full amount of any Transaction Fees, Cancellation Fees, Application subscription fees, and costs, expenses, losses, or liabilities incurred by Lula as a result of your or your Personnel’s performance during, or failure to perform, a Job Request.
The Service Fees payable to you shall not include and Lula reserves the right to deduct from the total amount payable by a Customer for an Accepted Job Request, all Transaction Fees. “Transaction Fees” means (a) 10%-15% of the Fees payable by a Customer for Services performed by you for a completed Accepted Job Request, and (b) any additional transaction, service, or surcharge fees charged by Lula to a Customer in addition to the quoted Fees for an Accepted Job Request. The Transaction Fees may be updated, changed, or modified from time to time by Lula.
Any subscription fees that Lula charges for your use of the Applications are payable to Lula by the first day of each calendar month. Upon creation of your account with the Applications, you agree to provide a credit card and/or bank account with routing information for payment of any fees payable to Lula and authorize Lula and its third party service providers (including Stripe) to make a one-time debit and credit to your account for the purpose of authorizing and verifying such payment method. By accepting a Job Request, you also authorize Lula and its third party service providers (including Stripe) to automatically charge your credit card and/or bank account associated with your account for the full amount of the Fees.
All payments and payment information are/is processed through third party solution providers (such as Stripe) and Lula disclaims any and all liability with respect to the safeguarding, storing, processing, or transmitting your payment information including credit card numbers, bank account and routing numbers, and other financial data that you provide to us to facilitate the payment of the Fees, Transaction Fees, or subscription amounts (if any) for the Applications.
You shall not initiate, and hereby waive, all rights to initiate any collection action or to take any action with respect to the filing of mechanics, materialman’s, or any other type of lien against a Customer, its tenants, its customers, or their property for the payment of any amounts. Lula retains all rights to initiate any such collection actions.
Payment Information; Third Parties
The Applications may be made available or accessed in connection with third party services and content (including payment processing) provided by third parties (including Stripe) that Lula does not control. You acknowledge that different terms of use and privacy policies may apply to your use of such third party services and that Lula does not endorse such third party services and content and in no event shall Lula be responsible or liable for any products or services of such third parties. Additionally, these third parties are not parties to this contract and are not responsible for the provision or support of the Applications or Services in any manner. Your access to the Applications and receipt of the Service Fees using these third party’s devices and payment solutions is subject to the terms set forth in their terms of service and privacy policies. By using the Applications, you are agreeing to Lula’s use of these third parties (including Stripe) and their solutions (including payment solutions) and hereby release Lula, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from any and all liabilities, costs, expenses, warranties, claims, and obligations of any kind whatsoever with respect to these third party solutions.
