in these Terms, in any applicable Additional Terms, or on the Site

and/or T + C ("Employed Backup Care Providers"), we do not provide any
caregiving services or employ any Care Providers, and are not
responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any Care
Seeker, Care Provider, or other user of the Site or Services. Any Care

responsible for compliance with all applicable employment and other
laws in connection with any employment relationship they establish

* Care Seeker and Care Provider content is primarily user generated. We
do not control or vet user-generated content for accuracy, and we do
not assume and expressly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy
or reliability of any information provided by Care Providers or Care
Seekers on or off the Site. We do not assume and expressly disclaim
any liability that may result from the use of information provided on
our Site.
* We do not refer or recommend Care Seekers or Care Providers nor do we
make any representations about the suitability, reliability,
timeliness, or accuracy of the services provided by Care Providers or
the integrity, responsibility or actions of Care Seekers or Care
Providers whether in public, private or offline interactions. Any
screening of a Care Seeker or Care Provider and his, her or its
information by Care.com is limited and should not be taken as
complete, accurate, up-to-date or conclusive of the individual's or
entity's suitability as an employer or care provider. Each Care Seeker
is responsible for making his or her own decision about which Care
Provider(s) to hire and/or use, and each Care Provider is responsible
for making his or her own decision about which jobs to apply to,
accept, and work.

any other aspect of services delivered by Care Providers, nor do we
require Care Providers to accept or work any jobs or deliver any
services at all.
* Care.com and its subsidiaries do not provide any legal or financial
advice or any medical, diagnostic, treatment or clinical service. The
information and content that are available through the Site and
Services is intended to be general in nature and is not a substitute
for formal professional advice or treatment from a licensed
professional. Nothing about the Site or Services is intended to create
a confidential, fiduciary, professional, or any other special
relationship that would give rise to any duties on our part.
* We may offer certain Registered Users the opportunity to verify
certain information such as their email address, cell phone number,
or, in the case of child care centers, their state license
information. If we indicate that certain information has been
verified, it means that the user has complied with the process we have
established for verifying such information. However, we do not
guarantee, nor do we represent or warrant, that the information is
accurate or that it belongs to the Registered User who supplied it.
Please review carefully the Release of Liability Form Third-Party
Content and Conduct that appears in Section 9 below for important
limitations on Care.com's liability to which you are agreeing by using
the Site and Services.
3. 1.4. USER RESPONSIBILITIES

alone are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your
Password, and you are responsible for all use of the Site and Services
that occurs via your account, with or without your consent, by yourself

your username, password or other account information, or of any other
breach of security that you become aware of involving your account.
Registered Users are solely responsible for interviewing, vetting,
performing background and reference checks on, verifying information
provided by, and selecting an appropriate Care Provider for themselves
or their family. This is true even in situations where we present you

The only exception is when a third party we or one of our subsidiaries
contracts with to provide services in support of the Backup Care Service
selects on behalf of the Registered User the specific individual Backup
Care Provider from the agency who will provide backup or senior care
services. In that limited circumstance only, the agency (as opposed to
the Registered User) is responsible for screening the Backup Care
Provider it selects on behalf of the Registered User.

4. 4. BACKGROUND AND VERIFICATION CHECKS
1. 4.1 Care Providers on the Core Platform Can Order or Authorize
Background Checks about Themselves and Can Authorize the Sharing of Them
with Other Members
Care.com offers to individuals who have registered on the Core Platform
as Care Providers and Care Seekers one or more background check services
from third-party consumer reporting agencies ("Background Checks").
Certain background checks may be made available for purchase by both
Care Seekers and Care Providers, while others may only be made only be
available for purchase by Care Seekers or Care Providers. All background
checks require payment of a separate fee by the Member who is initiating
the background check request and are subject to the consent of the Care
Provider on whom the check is being performed.
Each of these Background Checks is regulated by the Fair Credit
Reporting Act ("FCRA"), and the background reports resulting from these
services are considered "consumer reports" under FCRA. Consumer reports
may contain information on your character, general reputation, personal
characteristics, and mode of living, including but not limited to
consumer credit, criminal history, workers' compensation, driving,
employment, military, civil, and educational data and reports.
2. 4.2. Background Check Offerings Available to Individuals Who May Not
Have Registered as Care Providers or Care Seekers
Through certain pages of the Site, we may from time to time offer to
individuals who may or may not be registered as Care Seekers the
opportunity to purchase certain background checks on caregivers who are
not necessarily registered on Care.com. These background checks are
performed by a third-party consumer reporting agency and are subject to
the terms of Section 4.1, 4.3, and 4.7 except that (i) references to
Care Seekers shall refer to individuals who order the checks regardless
of whether they are registered as Care Seekers, (ii) references to Care
Providers shall refer to individuals who authorize the check to be
performed on themselves regardless of whether they are registered as
Care Providers, and (iii) Care.com does not view the results of these
checks regardless of whether the caregiver on whom the check is
performed is registered as a Care Provider.
3. 4.3. Special Responsibilities of Users of Background Check under FCRA
The use of any background check reports obtained through the Site is
governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA") and certain
state laws. If you order or request access to background check on a Care
Provider, you are considered an end user of the check, and must agree to
a required End User Certification before the check will be processed.
This End User Certification requires you to certify that you will comply
with the FCRA and any applicable state laws, and summarizes key legal
obligations. A summary of your responsibilities in using the information
contained the background check can be
found http://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/using-consumer-reports-what-employers-need-know.
If there is negative data in a check you receive, and you choose to take
"adverse action" (i.e. if you choose to pass on that individual's
candidacy) on the basis of this negative data, you must agree to take
certain procedural steps, which can be found
at http://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/using-consumer-reports-what-employers-need-know.
These include notifying the individual who is the subject of the report
of your decision to take adverse action based on information contained
in the report and the subject's right to contest the accuracy or
completeness of the report. Depending on the specific background check
you order, Care.com may provide a mechanism for you to request that the
consumer reporting agency who performed the check complete these steps
on your behalf. Where such a mechanism is not available, you are
responsible for making any required notifications yourself. If the
subject contests the report with the consumer reporting agency, you are
required to suspend the hiring process while the agency researches the
accuracy and completeness of the report.
4. 4.4 Care.com May Order and Use Background Screenings About You
By registering for and using the Site or Services you hereby acknowledge
and agree that Care.com has the right, but not the obligation, to use a
third-party consumer reporting agency on an ongoing basis to use your
personal information to run periodic background screenings on you for
the purpose of protecting the safety and integrity of our Site and its
users ("Preliminary Membership Screens"). Care.com may order these
screenings when you register with Care.com and thereafter in connection
with your continued use of our Services and/or interaction with our Site
(such as by contacting or communicating with other members, posting or
updating a job or profile, ordering or authorizing a Background Check,
etc.).
These Preliminary Membership Screens may also regulated by FCRA, and the
background reports resulting from these services may be considered
"consumer reports" under FCRA. You understand and agree that Care.com
may review the information provided by the third-party consumer
reporting agency and that Care.com retains the right to terminate your
Care.com registration or access to the Site or Services based on the
information it receives from these checks, even if such information was
subsequently changed or corrected. If Care.com terminates your
membership or access to the Site on the basis of information in a
background report, we will notify you and provide you the name and
contact information of the consumer reporting agency that created the
report. We will also provide you access to a copy of the report unless
the consumer reporting agency has already provided you a copy or access
to it. You hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that
Care.com does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the
quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in these
checks. Furthermore, any inaccuracies in the report must be addressed
with the consumer reporting agency that issued it (and not Care.com)
within the time period specified in your notice. Notwithstanding this,
you agree that Care.com is under no obligation to reinstate any accounts
it may have terminated even if the information that led to the
termination is subsequently changed or corrected.
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND USING OUR SITE, YOU AGREE TO ALLOW
CARE.COM TO PERFORM THESE INTERNAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR THE PURPOSES
DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THESE INTERNAL BACKGROUND CHECKS TO
BE PERFORMED, YOU SHOULD NOT USE CARE.COM.
5. 4.5 Care.com May Regularly Verify Your Identity and the Accuracy of Your
Representations and Warranties
By registering, you authorize Care.com, and acknowledge that for
purposes of promoting the safety and integrity of its Site and Service,
Care.com reserves the right, but not the obligation, to utilize third
party service providers to verify on an ongoing basis that your
registration data is accurate and that the representations and
warranties in Section 2 above addressing legal matters such as
complaints, arrests, sex offender status, etc. are also true
("Verification Checks"). These third parties may use data from a variety
of sources, under a variety of circumstances, for these site safety
purposes including, without limitation, information from national
criminal databases, sex offender registries, certain media streams,
terrorist watch lists, criminal and fugitive watch lists, fraud watch
lists, law enforcement reports, and other data.
You agree that Care.com may take such action in response to Verification
Checks as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including without
limitation suspending and/or terminating your membership, should it
determine that you have violated any representation or warranty or any
other provision of these Terms or are otherwise unsuitable for Care.com.
You also hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that Care.com
does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality,
accuracy, or reliability of the information included in a Verification
Check. We do not typically communicate the results of a Verification
Check to any third party, though we reserve the right to do so for law
enforcement or other safety-related purposes in accordance with
applicable laws.
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO ALLOW CARE.COM TO PERFORM THE
VERIFICATION CHECKS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THESE
VERIFICATION CHECKS TO BE PERFORMED, YOU SHOULD NOT USE CARE.COM.
6. 4.6. Important Limitations About Background Checks; Release of Liability
for Results of Background Checks, Internal Background Checks, and
Verification Checks
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE: Criminal County
Searches conducted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as part of the
Criminal Records Check and the Criminal+MVR Records Check (for
individuals who are believed to have lived in one or both of these
states during the seven years preceding the background check request)
search only the Superior Court and a single District Court in the county
seat or its equivalent for each county listed below. Criminal records
(including misdemeanors and felonies) from other courts in these states
will not be searched.
This is an illustrative, non-comprehensive, list of certain state and
county limitations of the background checks offered through Care.com;
additional limitations may apply in certain jurisdictions, including on
the federal level. For example, for many states only certain registered
sex offender information is reported, and for many states, only a subset
of felony convictions are reported (and not any misdemeanors, charges or
arrest records).
In addition to legal and reporting system limitations of background
checks, each check is performed with the authorization of the person
being checked, using information he or she provides, such as home
address, social security number, date of birth, and name. If a candidate
provides incorrect information, the check might be run with inaccurate
identifying data, which can impact the validity of the criminal check.
Finally, criminal records are not always reported accurately or
promptly, and human and electronic error can result in inaccurate or
incomplete reporting. Consequently, even the most comprehensive
background check offered may not disclose the existence of all criminal
records in all jurisdictions.
If you decide to access, use, or share information provided by a
Background Check, you agree to do so in accordance with applicable law.
You also agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless Care.com from any
loss, liability, injury, death, damage, or costs that may result from
your use of, reliance on, or sharing of the information contained in a
Background Check regardless of the cause, including, without limitation,
due to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such information.
You expressly acknowledge that Care.com has no obligation to perform
Background Checks, Internal Background Checks, or Verification Checks on
any Registered Users. To the extent Care.com performs such checks on
certain Registered Users, the checks are limited and should not be taken
as complete, accurate, up-to-date or conclusive evidence of the accuracy
of any information those users have provided or of their eligibility to
use the Services.
You agree that Care.com may take such action in response to Verification
Checks as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including without
limitation suspending and/or terminating your membership, should it
determine that you have violated any representation or warranty or any
other provision of these Terms or are otherwise unsuitable for Care.com.
5. 5. TERMINATION
Care.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately
terminate your access to all or part of the Care.com Site and/or Services,
to remove your profile and/or any User Content posted by or about you from
the Site, and/or to terminate your account with Care.com, with or without
notice for any reason or no reason in its sole discretion, including
without limitation if Care.com should determine that you are not eligible
to use the Services, have violated any terms stated herein or in any of the
Additional Terms, are not suitable for participation as a Registered User,
have mis-used or mis-appropriated Site content, including but not limited
to use on a "mirrored," competitive, or third-party site. Upon termination,
Care.com shall be under no obligation to provide you with a copy of any
content posted by or about you on the Site. If we terminate your
registration, we have no obligation to notify you of the reason, if any,
for your termination.
You understand and agree that, following any termination of any
individual's use of the Site or the Services, Care.com has the right, but
not the obligation, to send a notice of such termination to other
Registered Users with whom we believe the individual has corresponded. Our
decision to terminate an individual's registration and/or to notify other
Registered Users with whom we believe the individual has corresponded does
not constitute, and should not be interpreted or used as information
bearing on, the individual's character, general reputation, personal
characteristics, or mode of living.
6. 6. PRIVACY

or in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For more information, see our

Service, or product. Care.com reserves the right to correct any errors
or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received
payment.
To the extent you elect to purchase other Services or product offerings
we may offer for a non-recurring fee, you authorize Care.com to charge
your chosen payment provider for the Services and/or products you
purchase. You agree that if Care.com already has your credit card on
file as a result of prior purchases you have made, we may charge that
credit card for the additional Services or products you purchase.
2. 8.2 AUTOMATIC SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL AND CANCELLATION
ALL PAID MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS AND RECURRING FEE-BASED SERVICES OR
PRODUCTS WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL CANCELLED BY THE USER.
FOR PAID MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY

TIME YOU SUBSCRIBED. IF YOU CHOOSE A SUBSCRIPTION TERM IN EXCESS OF ONE
MONTH THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE CHARGED MONTHLY OVER THE SUBSCRIPTION

SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO
BE BILLED FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION ON A MONTHLY BASIS UNTIL THE END OF THE
THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM.

early termination and disclosed to you at the time you signed up for the
subscription plan.

Such points may only be redeemed via the Site, have no cash value, are
not redeemable for cash (except to the extent specifically required by
law), and are non-transferrable and non-refundable under any

2. 11.2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
While we take certain steps to help promote the safety of our Site and
Services, finding care or care-related jobs or other services via an
online platform like ours comes with certain inherent risks. We do not

Center at www.care.com/safety-center-p1273.html, and in other materials
we may from time to time offer you, when interacting with other site
visitors, Registered Users, their families, and others associated with
them. This is true even in situations where we may present you with a
customized list of individual or institutional Care Providers who may
meet your needs, and even where such a list only includes a single Care
Provider.

13. 13. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
1. 13.1 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
This Section 13 is referred to in these Terms as the "Arbitration
Agreement". Unless you opt-out in accordance with the opt-out procedures
set forth in Section 13.8 below, you agree that all claims relating to
or arising out of these Terms or the breach thereof, whether sounding in
contract, tort, or otherwise that have arisen or may arise between you
and Care.com or a Care.com Affiliate, whether relating to these Terms
(including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, the Site, or
otherwise, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding
arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this
Arbitration Agreement, except you may assert individual claims in small
claims court, if your claims qualify. Your rights will be determined by
a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act
governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration
Agreement.
2. 13.2 PROHIBITION OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS AND
NON-INDIVIDUALIZED RELIEF
YOU AND CARE.COM AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE
OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER
IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND CARE.COM EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S
CLAIMS AGAINST CARE.COM AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A
CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR
MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY
RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO
THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S
INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER CARE.COM
USERS. 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 provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in
its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to
arbitrate disputes.
3. 13.3 PRE-ARBITRATION DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Care.com is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and
efficiently. So before you commence arbitration, we suggest that you
contact us to explain your complaint, as we may be able to resolve it
without the need for arbitration. You may contact us at Care.com, Inc.,
Attn: Legal Department, 1501 S Mopac Expwy, Barton Skyway One, Suite
340, Austin, TX 78746.
4. 13.4 ARBITRATION PROCEDURES
If we cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of us asserts
will be resolved only by binding arbitration and not in courts of
general jurisdiction. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral
arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS that are in effect at
the time the arbitration is initiated (collectively referred to as the
"JAMS Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, and excluding
the JAMS Class Action Procedures. For information on JAMS, please visit
its website, https://www.jamsadr.com/. Information about JAMS's Rules
and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the JAMS consumer
arbitration
page, https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. If there
is any inconsistency between the JAMS Rules and this Arbitration
Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless
the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent
Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair
arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these
Terms as a court would, including without limitation, the limitation of
liability provisions in Section 11. Although arbitration proceedings are
usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial
proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an
individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms
and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court
and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
To commence an arbitration against Care.com, you must write a demand for
arbitration that includes a description of the dispute and the amount of
damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for
Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com. You should send three copies of the
Demand, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS at 500 North State
College Blvd., Suite 600, Orange, CA 92868, and send one copy to
Care.com, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1501 S Mopac Expwy, Barton
Skyway One, Suite 340, Austin, TX 78746. For more information, see the
JAMS arbitration rules and
forms, https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-download/. You may represent
yourself in the arbitration or be represented by an attorney or another
representative. Once we receive your arbitration claim, we may assert
any counterclaims we may have against you.
The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at
another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is
$10,000 or less you or Care.com may elect to have the arbitration
conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which
election shall be binding on you and Care.com subject to the
arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the
circumstances warrant. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made
by telephone by you and/or Care.com, unless the arbitrator requires
otherwise.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency,
shall have exclusive authority to resolve all claims relating to or
arising out of this contract, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in
contract, tort, or otherwise and all disputes arising out of or relating
to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of
these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any
part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject
to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever
relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The
arbitrator's award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may
be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware, including recognized principles
of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The
arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving
different Care.com users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations
involving the same Care.com user to the extent required by applicable
law.
5. 13.5 COSTS OF ARBITRATION
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees
(collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the JAMS
Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you
demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay
your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise
determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your
portion of the Arbitration Fees, Care.com will pay your portion of such
fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs
of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of
litigation, Care.com will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the
arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being
cost-prohibitive. Each party will be responsible for all other fees it
incurs in connection with the arbitration, including without limitation,
all attorney fees. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s)
you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse
Care.com for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Care.com
on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the
JAMS rules.
6. 13.6 CONFIDENTIALITY
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or
award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit
of all parties.
7. 13.7 OPT-OUT PROCEDURE
You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by mailing us a
written opt-out notice ("Opt-Out Notice") in accordance with the terms
of this Section. For new Care.com users, the Opt-Out Notice must be
postmarked no later than 30 Days after the date you use our Site or
Services for the first time. If you are already a current Care.com user
and previously accepted the Care.com Terms prior to the introduction of
this Arbitration Agreement, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no
later than January 17, 2017. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to
Care.com, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1501 S Mopac Expwy, Barton
Skyway One, Suite 340, Austin, TX 78746. The Opt-Out Notice must state
that you do not agree to the Arbitration Agreement and must include your
name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to
the Care.com account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the
Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way
you can opt out of the Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of the
Arbitration Agreement, Care.com will likewise not be bound by these
arbitration provisions. All other terms of these Terms will continue to
apply. Opting out of the Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any
previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with
us. Care.com users who accepted a previous version of these Terms that
included an arbitration agreement, and who did not timely opt out of
that arbitration agreement, remain bound by the last arbitration
agreement that they accepted. Upon receipt of a valid Opt-Out Notice,
Care.com will provide the opting out user with a copy of the arbitration
agreement from the last version of the Terms that the user accepted, if
any exists.
8. 13.8 FUTURE CHANGES TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and we
agree that if we make any change to this Arbitration Agreement (other
than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in
the future, such change shall not be effective until at least 60 days
from the date of posting, and shall not apply to any claim that was
filed in a legal proceeding against Care.com prior to the effective date
of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this Arbitration
Agreement from these Terms, such termination shall not be effective
until 30 days after the version of these Terms not containing the
Arbitration Agreement is posted to the Site, and shall not be effective
as to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Care.com
prior to the effective date of removal.
14. 14. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms, and all claims relating to or arising out of this contract, or
the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall
be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including Delaware's
statutes of limitations governing your claim, without giving effect to its
principles of conflicts of law, provided that the Federal Arbitration Act
shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of Section 13, the
Arbitration Agreement.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Arbitration
Agreement is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute
(except for small-claims court actions), either as a result of your
decision to opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement or as a result of a
decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or
dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Care.com must be
resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of
Delaware.
You and Care.com agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts
located within the State of Delaware for the purpose of litigating all such
claims or disputes.
15. 15. CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION
By using the Site or Services of Care.com, you agree to allow Care.com to
communicate with you electronically, and you consent to electronic delivery
of notices, documents, or products (including, without limitation, reports
or copies of Background Checks and Preliminary Membership Screens) from
Care.com via the Care.com Site, mobile application, online messaging
platform, or e-mail. You also agree to check your Care.com account, alerts,
and messages, and the e-mail account reflected on your Care.com on a
reasonably regular basis to stay apprised of important notices and
information about your account.
16. 16. MISCELLANEOUS
Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as making either party the
partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor
or employee of the other. Neither party shall have, or hold itself out to
any third party as having any authority to make any statements,
representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that
shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized
in writing by the party to be bound. The invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any term or provision of these Terms shall in no way
effect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other term or
provision of these Terms. Each Affiliate (as defined in Section 1.2) is
expressly made a third party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce
these Terms directly against you. These Terms will be binding on and will
inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns
of the parties hereto.
17. 17. SEVERABILITY
If a court decides that any term or provision of these Terms other than
Section 13.2 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such
term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable
and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision, and these Terms shall be enforceable as so
modified. If a court decides that any of the provisions of Section 13.2 are
invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of Section 13 shall be null and
void. The remainder of the Terms will continue to apply.
