You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of a Service Request you submit and for all content contained in a Service Request. Submission of a Service Request does not obligate 247Plumbers.com to make the Service Request available on the Services and 247Plumbers.com may remove a Service Request with or without notice at any time for any reason. You agree that 247Plumbers. com will not be liable to you for any removal of a Service Request or any part thereof.
247Plumbers.com makes no representation to you, as the Customer, regarding Service Providers, including that such Service Providers are qualified to perform the applicable Project. You acknowledge and agree that the inclusion of a particular Service Provider on a list of Service Providers does not operate as a recommendation of such Service Provider by 247Plumbers.com. The list of Service Providers available through the Service may not be a complete list of all potentially qualified service providers in your area. Each Service Provider indicates in its Business Profile (available to you via the Services) certain information and qualifications which may assist you in comparing Service Providers, and in selecting the one most suitable to perform your Service Request. In addition, we may publish through the Service certain business scores and recommendations with respect to Service Providers, which are based in part on aggregate Customer feedback, and which may assist your decision. However, Customers are solely responsible for selecting the Service Providers they eventually choose to work with. The Customer and Service Provider can then enter into an agreement directly with each other for the Service Provider to perform the Project. Other than with respect to the payment procedures described in these Terms, Customers and Service Providers (and not 247Plumbers.com) are solely responsible for any interaction between them, and 247Plumbers.com has no liability for the performance of a Project.

Disputes and Claims In a case of disputes between you and the Service Provider, the procedures set forth in the Project Success Plan will apply.
By 247Plumbers.com for Customer Delay. Each Customer agrees that if a Project is not completed or is materially delayed due to the acts or omissions of Customer (e.g., missing parts, materials, etc. that the Customer was supposed to supply, or Service Provider is denied access to the job site), then 247Plumbers.com at its option may elect to release the Service Fees (in whole or in part, as determined by 247Plumbers.com), to the Service Provider. In the event that 247Plumbers.com determines that a release of the entire Service Fee is warranted, the Customer nevertheless will be required to resubmit the Service Request and secure an alternate Service Provider to have the Project performed.
Cancellation by the Customer. If you, the Customer, wish to cancel a Booking, please contact our live Chat Support. For a full refund, cancellation must be made up to 24 hours prior to the Project start date stated in the final Quote (“Project Start Date”). If you cancel the Booking less than 24 hours prior to Project Start Date, we will charge a 10% cancellation fee based on the total Service Fee of the Project. For example, if total fee is $250, we will refund you $225 minus any discount you received. If you cancel the Project AFTER Project Start Date, we will charge your Payment Method the following: (1) 10% cancellation fee as described above; (2) materials/parts cost incurred by the Service Provider, including any shipment or delivery fees for such materials or parts, at Service Provider’s option (in which case such material/parts purchased will remain in your possession and will be your property); and (3) 1/3 of the total Service Fee as set out in the Quote as compensation for the Service Provider.
Cancellation by Service Provider. If you, Service Provider wish to cancel a Quote, please contact our live Chat Support. Your 247Plumbers.com Account may be suspended due to the following: (1) If you fail to show up without timely notification or cancellation of the Booking; (2) if you communicate with Customers outside of the 247Plumbers.com App, including without limitation, chats, calls, and payments. You, the Service Provider, understand and approve us to charge your Payment Method to compensate the Customer for the following amounts: (1) $100 penalty for No Show on the Project Start Date, unless due to a force majeure event (such as war or strike, etc.); (2) $50 penalty for cancellation less than 24 hours before the Project Start Date; and (3) $25 penalty for late show of more than 2 hours from the Project Start Date. All of the above events will also affect your Service Provider Quality Score, and 247Plumbers.com may publish an automated review on your Account indicating that a Booking was canceled in such an event.

You as a Service Provider understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, (ii) calculation and payment of any Taxes related to your provision of your services to the Customer, and (iii) including the applicable Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in your Quote.

We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed on location. No Class Actions. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights. Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with 247Plumbers.com. Emergency Equitable Relief.
