    1. 1.1 About Our Services
      Allcaregivers offers various Services to help its users find, coordinate, and maintain quality care. The Services we offer include, among others:
      • We provide a platform for individuals seeking care services (such as individual or shared senior care, special needs, child care, and corporate care providers seeking to hire individual care providers (such as child centers, in-home care agencies, and senior living facilities) (each “Care seeker” or “client”) to post jobs on the Site, and to search for, narrow, find, and communicate with individuals and entities who provide care services (“Caregivers” or “care providers”), and for Care Providers to post profiles on the Site and browse, search, and apply to jobs. We also provide functionality that allows Care Seekers to message Care providers after initiation of a job to help facilitate communication for the services.
      • We provide tools and information to help Care Seekers and Care Providers make more informed decisions, such as (i) verification dashboards on Care Provider profiles, which enable Care Seekers to check the status of a Care Provider’s various verifications, and (ii) a process for Caregivers to obtain background check reports through GoodHire, a third-party consumer reporting agency on individual Care Providers who consent to the running and sharing of those reports. A star is included on the caregiver’s profile to indicate that they have passed the background check. Allcaregivers is not responsible for any mistake during the background check process by GoodHire and Goodhire.com.
      • We offer through Braintree, a paypal service, (“Braintree”), a third party service that facilitates the payment of Care Providers by Care Seekers via credit card or debit card. These payment processing services are provided by Braintree.com and are subject to the Braintree payment services agreement. By agreeing to these Terms, Care Providers that use the payment service also agree to be bound by the Braintree payment services agreement, as the same may be modified by Braintree from time to time. As a condition of Allcaregivers enabling payment processing services through Braintree, you agree to provide Allcaregivers accurate and complete information about you, and you authorize Allcaregivers to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Braintree. Allcaregivers assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you may make through this service, and all such payments are non-refundable.

      • We may offer certain Registered Users the opportunity to verify certain information such as their email address, cell phone number, or their state license information.

  4. Background and Verification Checks
    1. 4.1 Care Providers Can undergo Background Checks about Themselves and Can Authorize the Sharing of Them with Other Members
      Allcaregivers offers to individuals who have registered as Care Providers one or more background check services from third-party consumer reporting agencies (“Background Checks”). Background checks may be made available for purchase by Care Seekers. 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.
      Allcaregivers will receive a copy of each Background Check you order or authorize through Allcaregivers. See Section 4.4 below for information regarding Allcaregivers’s use of these Background Checks. You are responsible for making sure that the email address you provide to Allcaregivers is correct, knowing that sensitive information will be sent to it.
    2. If you are a Care Provider and have authorized a background check, a star will appear on your page to show care seekers that you have passed a background check. However, they will not receive a copy of your detailed background check unless they contact Allcaregivers to request it.
      If you are a Care Provider and you have ordered a Background Check on yourself from a third-party consumer reporting agency through Allcaregivers, we may indicate in your profile that you have completed that check. However, we will not share the results with any other site visitor or Registered User without your specific authorization. You consent to Allcaregivers sharing your background check with care seekers who have requested it.
    3. 4.2. Allcaregivers May Review and Use Background Checks You Order or Authorize About Yourself
      By registering for and using the Site or Services as an individual Care Provider, and subject to your authorization, you acknowledge and agree that Allcaregivers may review and use any Background Checks you have ordered or authorized about yourself for the purpose of protecting the safety and integrity of our Site and its users, which may, in the case of certain Care Providers, be considered an employment purpose pursuant to the FCRA. Allcaregivers reserves the right to terminate your membership based on the information contained in such report, even if such information was subsequently dismissed.
      If Allcaregivers terminates your membership or access to the Site on the basis of information in a Background Check, 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 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 Allcaregivers does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in these Background Checks. Furthermore, any inaccuracies in the report must be addressed with the consumer reporting agency that issued it and not Allcaregivers.
    4. 4.3 Allcaregivers May Order and Use Background Screenings About You
      By registering for and using the Site or Services as a Care Seeker or Care Provider, you hereby acknowledge and agree that Allcaregivers 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”), which may, in the case of certain Care Providers, be deemed to be an employment purpose under the FCRA. Subject to certain additional disclosures and authorizations, if applicable to you as a Care Provider, Allcaregivers may order these screenings when you register with Allcaregivers 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 be regulated by FCRA, and the background reports resulting from these services may be considered “consumer reports” under FCRA.
      You understand and agree that Allcaregivers may review the information provided by the third-party consumer reporting agency and that Allcaregivers retains the right to terminate your Allcaregivers registration based on the information it receives from these checks, even if such information was subsequently changed or corrected. If Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers) within the time period specified in your notice. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Allcaregivers 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, AND, IF APPLICABLE TO YOU AS A CARE PROVIDER, SUBJECT TO YOUR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION, YOU AGREE TO ALLOW Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers.
    5. 4.4. Allcaregivers May Regularly Verify Your Identity and the Accuracy of Your Representations and Warranties
      By registering as a Care Provider or Care Seeker, and, if applicable to you as a Care Provider, subject to your additional authorization, you authorize Allcaregivers, and acknowledge that for purposes of promoting the safety and integrity of its Site and Service, Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers.
      You also hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that Allcaregivers 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, AND, IF APPLICABLE TO YOU AS A CARE PROVIDER SUBJECT TO YOUR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION, YOU AGREE TO ALLOW ALLCAREGIVERS TO PERFORM THE VERIFICATION CHECKS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THESE VERIFICATION CHECKS TO BE PERFORMED, YOU SHOULD NOT USE ALLCAREGIVERS.
    6. 4.5 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 Allcaregivers; 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 Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers has no obligation to perform Background Checks, Internal Background Checks, or Verification Checks on any Registered Users. To the extent Allcaregivers 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.
  5. Termination
    Allcaregivers reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate your access to all or part of the Allcaregivers Site and/or Services, to remove your profile and/or any content posted by or about you from the Site, and/or to terminate your account with Allcaregivers, with or without notice for any reason or no reason in its sole discretion, including without limitation if Allcaregivers 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, Allcaregivers 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, Allcaregivers 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.

You must notify us of any change in your designated bank account’s information at least five (5) business days before any such change by updating your bank account information in your Profile or by contacting Customer Support. If we do not receive notice at least five (5) days before any such change, we may attempt, in our sole discretion, to implement such change prior to any ACH debit or credit transfer performed pursuant to your authorization provided in this Section 8. However, we assume no responsibility for our failure to do so.

8.6. Care Seeker Charge

Care seekers will be automatically charged daily after receiving care from care seekers. The charge will occur at 12am EST for the previous 24 hours of care. At the end of every week of care provided through Allcaregivers LLC, we will send an invoice outlining charges for the past week and seeking approval from the care seeker. The care seeker has 3 days after the invoice has been sent to them, to accept or dispute the invoice and the care provider’s hours. If no action is taken within 3 days, the care provider will be automatically paid. If there is a dispute, Allcaregivers LLC will try but is not obligated to resolve the dispute. During resolution, the care provider and care seeker are responsible for responding to messages through their Allcaregivers account, their email posted on their Allcaregivers account, and/or the phone number they have on their Allcaregivers account. Resolution of disputes includes but is not limited to; Refunds to the payment method used for payment, Allcaregivers credit or any other method of resolution decided by Allcaregivers as appropriate.

Caregivers have the opportunity to choose how they would like their payments to be disbursed. Some options include direct payment to their bank account, payment by zelle, Cashapp or Venmo. These are all third-party accounts and are not operated by Allcaregivers LLC. These third-party accounts and/or applications may come with fees which caregivers agree to the responsible for.

  1. 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 Allcaregivers or a Allcaregivers 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 ALLCAREGIVERS 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 ALLCAREGIVERS EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AGAINST ALLCAREGIVERS 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 ALLCAREGIVERS 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
      Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1508 Lunday Dr, Cedar Park, TX 78613
      contactus@all-caregivers.com

Phone: (267) 713-2395

  1. 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 Allcaregivers, 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 Allcaregivers, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1508 Lunday Dr, Cedar Park, TX 78613. 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 Allcaregivers may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers, 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 Allcaregivers users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Allcaregivers user to the extent required by applicable law.
  2. 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, Allcaregivers 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, Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Allcaregivers on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the JAMS rules.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 Allcaregivers 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. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to Allcaregivers, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1508 Lunday Dr, Cedar Park, TX 78613. 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 Allcaregivers 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, Allcaregivers 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. Upon receipt of a valid Opt-Out Notice, Allcaregivers 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.
  5. 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 Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers prior to the effective date of removal.
  1. 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 Allcaregivers must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of Delaware.
    You and Allcaregivers 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.
  2. Consent to Electronic Communication
    By using the Site or Services of Allcaregivers, you agree to allow Allcaregivers 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 Allcaregivers via the Allcaregivers Site, mobile application, online messaging platform, or e-mail. You also agree to check your Allcaregivers account, alerts, and messages, and the e-mail account reflected on your Allcaregivers on a reasonably regular basis to stay apprised of important notices and information about your account.
  3. Miscellaneous
    Nothing in this Agreement 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 affect 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 this Agreement and may enforce this Agreement directly against you. This Agreement will be binding on and will incur to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
  4. 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.
