3. ROLE AND RELATIONSHIP OF USERS AND USE OF THE ZENGOT PLATFORM
a) The zenGOT Platform:
zenGOT, through the zenGOT Platform, provides Services which allows zenGOT Customers to connect with zenGivers through its communications capabilities. zenGOT acts as an intermediary providing introductions between Customers and zenGivers, and is not directly involved in, or a party to, any zenGiver Contract, or the delivery or provision of zenGiver Services.
b) No Employment or Agency Relationship:
zenGOT is not the employer, contractor or supervisor in any way of any User, zenGiver, or zenGiver Services, or any other product or service provider. zenGOT does not control, direct, monitor, nor supervise any zenGiver Services or work performed in any manner. A zenGiver provides or delivers zenGiver Services as an independent contractor pursuant to a zenGiver Contract, which is a completely separate contract between the zenGiver providing zenGiver Services and the User receiving such zenGiver Services, and zenGOT is not a party to such separate contract. The Services do not make any User the legal representative or agent of any other User, and the Services do not give any User the power to require and/or obligate any other User for any purpose (including any right to demand, direct, or supervise the daily affairs of the other). No agency, joint venture, partnership, franchise agreement, fiduciary or employment relationship is either intended or created by reason of this Agreement for any purpose whatsoever.
zenGOT does not supervise and will not be responsible for the performance or non-performance of any User or any zenGiver Services, nor do we have control over the quality, timing, legality or any other aspect whatsoever of zenGiver Services, or with respect to zenGivers, Customers, nor of the responsibility, qualifications, actions, errors or omissions whatsoever of any User. zenGivers are solely responsible for the performance of the zenGiver Services they provide and you acknowledge and accept that zenGOT has no control over that nature or quality of zenGiver Services, or the manner in which zenGiver Services are performed or delivered. zenGOT will not be responsible nor liable for any breach of contract by a zenGiver, or any error, act or omission of a zenGiver. zenGOT does not verify nor validate the licenses, skills or qualifications of any zenGiver. You will therefore ask zenGivers with which you choose to contract for their credentials and/or abilities as required by you to satisfy yourself as to their capacity, skills and ability to perform the zenGiver Services you have requested, zenGOT does not directly provide any products or services to Customers other than the Services available through the zenGOT Platform, and zenGOT and the zenGOT Platform is only a means of enabling Users to connect with each other.
c) No Employment or Agency Relationship:
This Agreement does not create the relationship of employer and employee between zenGOT and you. You are an independent contractor and you are not, and will not be an employee of zenGOT. You confirm that you are not an employee of zenGOT and will not be eligible for any programs or benefits that are only available to employees of zenGOT. You will not represent yourself as an employee, agent, partner, or associate of zenGOT. You have no authority to enter into any agreements which bind zenGOT.
d) User Vetting:
zenGOT, at its sole discretion, shall always have the right, but no obligation, to require Users to be subject to a vetting process before they can register for and/or at any time, and from time to time, during their use of thezenGOT Platform and the Services including (but not limited to) verification of their identity. Without limitation, zenGivers may be required to undergo and a criminal background check using a third-party service as appropriate, and refusal to do so, or zenGOT learning that a zenGiver has a criminal record, shall be grounds to refuse to enter into this Agreement with such zenGiver, or to terminate this Agreement, without any liability whatsoever, with such zenGiver. zenGivers hereby consent to zenGOT conducting all background checks zenGOT feels are necessary, whether or not required by applicable laws.
Notwithstanding zenGOT's rights to verify and carry out background checks with respect to Users, zenGOT cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be and therefore zenGOT cannot and does not assume any responsibility or liability of any kind with respect to the conduct or character of any other User or zenGiver.
You agree to exercise caution and use common sense to protect your personal safety and property when interacting with any other User, as you would when interacting with any other person you do not know.
e) Site Policies, Privacy Policy and Amendments:
You agree to become and remain familiar with all policies of zenGOT posted on the zenGOT Platform or otherwise brought to your attention, and to strictly comply with all such policies. Your use of the zenGOT Platform and the Services is conditional on your doing so. zenGOT reserves the right to amend any of its policies (including this Agreement) at any time and without notice. Your continued use of the Services following such amendment constitutes your acceptance of such amendment. Amendments may include both deletions and additions, as well as changes.
f) Changes to the zenGOT Platform:
We reserve the right in our sole discretion to review, change, modify, add to, supplement or delete (either temporarily or permanently) all or any portion or component of the Services, the zenGOT Platform or any content or information thereon with or without notice. We will not be liable to you, or any User, or any other party for any change, modification, addition to, or deletion of the zenGOT Platform or any part thereof.
g) Confidentiality:
The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any and all of zenGOT’s trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information, personal information of any third party in our custody or control, and all other information or data of zenGOT that is not generally known to the public or other third parties who could derive value, economic or otherwise, from its use or disclosure. The zenGOT Platform and the Services are only usable and accessible by authorized Users provided with a login name and password registered with zenGOT. Any other use or access is strictly prohibited. Information accessed within the secured login section of the zenGOT Platform and the Services is both confidential and proprietary.
Confidential Information includes, without limitation, confidential business methods and processes, research and development information, business plans and strategies, marketing plans and strategies, information pertaining to current and prospective Customers, information pertaining to distributors, pricing information, costing information, non-public financial information, personnel information, and information about current and prospective products or Services, whether or not reduced to in writing or other tangible medium of expression, including work product created by a zenGiver in rendering zenGiver Services to a User.
You accept and acknowledge that the Confidential Information is a highly-valuable, unique and special asset of zenGOT and you further agree that you will not use, transfer and/or disclose (nor seek to induce others to use, transfer and/or disclose) any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than disclosure to your authorized agents or employees who are bound to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. You shall use best efforts to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized use, transfer and/or disclosure. You shall immediately notify zenGOT in writing of any circumstance which may constitute unauthorized use, transfer and/or disclosure of Confidential Information. You shall return all originals and copies of any and all materials containing Confidential Information to zenGOT upon termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
a) Disputes:
In the event you are dissatisfied with any zenGOT Service you must report the issue to us in writing within ten (10) days. You waive any claims you may have against us if you do not report the issue within this time period. zenGOT wil not be liable nor responsible for reimbursing or refunding any fees or charges paid by you to any other User, including to any zenGiver. Any dispute between you and any zenGiver is to be resolved between you and such zenGiver although, if you notify us within the above-mentioned period of ten (10) days, we will have the right, but not the responsibility, to intervene in the dispute and attempt to mediate or otherwise resolve it by encouraging you and the other party to discuss the matter and attempt to resolve it on a reasonable basis. We have no legal authority to force any other User or zenGiver to resolve a dispute with you. As the zenGOT Platform is an online marketplace only, we request that, although you should notify us, Users first make attempts to resolve disputes between themselves. In the event you are unable or unwilling to resolve a dispute directly (without zenGOT’s assistance) then, for valid complaints (such as not showing up; or unprofessional behaviour), zenGOT may, at its sole discretion, attempt to mediate the dispute satisfactorily. However zenGOT gives no warranty or condition that we will become involved or that, if we do, that we will be able to resolve disputes between Users.
b) Exclusive Jurisdiction
You agree that this Agreement is made in the Province of British Columbia and will be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable in British Columbia, and further that any dispute between you and zenGOT will be settled by litigation before the courts of British Columbia, sitting at Vancouver. Notwithstanding your location, residence or domicile, you irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia, sitting at Vancouver or, if applicable in the circumstances, the Federal Court of Canada, and all competent courts of appeal from the foregoing. You undertake and agree to bring no action in any other jurisdiction. You further undertake and agree to not commence or pursue any action against zenGOT by way of class proceedings or class action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, zenGOT will have the right to commence action against you in any court of competent jurisdiction to seek damages from you for breach by you of this Agreement, and to seek equitable remedies, including an injunction, to compel your performance of this Agreement, and to restrain you from any breach of this Agreement, or any infringement, violation or misappropriation of the proprietary rights, including intellectual property rights, of zenGOT.

6. ACCESS AND USE OF SERVICES
a) Registration (and your Personal Information):
i) Collection of your Personal Information
In order to use the zenGOT Platform you may be required to complete a registration form and become an authorized “User”. We may refuse to grant you (and therefore you may not use) a User name, email address or screen name that is already being used by another individual if it is construed as impersonating another person, or if it belongs to another person, or that violates intellectual property or any other rights of any person, or that is offensive, or that we decide to reject for any other reason at our sole discretion.
As part of the registration process you will be required to provide certain information about yourself, which may include personal information (information that identifies you or that can be used to identify you) such as your name, e-mail address, address, location, or telephone or mobile number that could be used to identify you personally.

All Users agree to promptly update their information as necessary to ensure that such information remains current, accurate and complete at all times. In the event you provide any information which is untrue, not current, inaccurate, or incomplete, or if we suspect that your information is untrue, not current, inaccurate, or incomplete then we may, at our sole discretion, terminate and/or suspend your right to access any material for which registration is required without any liability to you. Any of the information you provide which is personally identifiable will be subject to this Agreement and to our Privacy Policy.
ii) Access to your Account (password and security)
Accessing the zenGOT Platform may require registration as a User (an "Authorized User") in which case you will use both a User name and password (collectively “Password”). You will be the sole Authorized User of your Password and are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password, whether provided by you or us, for accessing the zenGOT Platform. As you are solely and completely responsible for any and all activities that occur in your zenGOT Account under your Password (excepting that zenGOT may make changes that you have requested such as rescheduling an appointment with a zenGiver) it is incumbent on you, and your exclusive responsibility, to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your zenGOT Account Password and your computer. You will ensure that you logout of your zenGOT Account and close your browser after you have completed your use of the zenGOT Platform and/or the Services. zenGOT has no control over the use of your zenGOT Account or Password whether by you or any third parties and we expressly disclaim any and all liability related thereto.
You are required to notify us in writing immediately if you suspect and/or become aware of any unauthorized payments, access and/or use of your Password (and/or of the zenGOT Platform or Services), if your Password is lost and/or stolen, and any other breach of security. Such notice will not release you from responsibility and liability for such theft, loss, security breach, unauthorized use and/or access of your Password (and/or of the zenGOT Platform or the Services) prior to the receipt of your notification to zenGOT. From time to time zenGOT may login to or access your zenGOT Account for the purpose of maintaining and/or improving the Services offered including assisting with technical issues. You hereby acknowledge and agree to such access. We shall be entitled (but not obligated), in our sole discretion, to assess your Password. If we determine that you are using a Password we consider to be unsecure then we may, at our sole discretion, require you to change the Password and/or terminate your access to the zenGOT Platform. Nothing in this section shall affect our rights to limit or terminate the zenGOT Platform.
a. Identification
From time to time we may reasonably request that you provide us with proof of identify which you agree to provide.
b. Communications from us:
By using the zenGOT Platform, you are granting express consent and agreement to accept and receive communications from us (including but not limited to: e-mails, text messages, phone calls, and push notifications) to the cellular telephone number and/or email address you provide us. By consenting to being contacted by zenGOT, you acknowledge and accept that you may receive communications which may be generated by email and/or automatic telephone dialing systems and/or which will deliver prerecorded messages sent either by or on behalf of zenGOT, its affiliated companies and/or Users/zenGivers, including (but not limited to): operational communications regarding your account or use of the zenGOT Platform or Services, updates with respect to new and existing features on the zenGOT Platform, communications concerning promotions run by us or our affiliated companies and news about zenGOT or our affiliated companies and industry developments.

Further you may opt-out of receiving promotional or marketing emails, texts or calls from zenGOT at any time. You may also opt-out of receiving all emails, texts or phone calls from zenGOT (including informational or transactional messages), however you acknowledge that opting out of receiving all emails, texts or phone calls will impact your use of the zenGOT Platform or the Services and may result in your zenGOT Account being unusable. You agree to zenGOT using a third-party service which will mask your telephone number when you communicate with a zenGiver or Customer. zenGOT will receive, in real time, call data (and also store the call data) including the precise date and time of the telephone call or text message, both parties phone numbers, and the content of any text messages. You agree to the masking process as outlined above in addition to zenGOT’s use and/or disclosure of the call data for its legitimate business purposes and/or as required by law.
b) How the zenGOT Platform Works:
i) Posting a Service Request
You must sign into your Account to post a request for products and/or services from zenGivers (a "Service Request"). Your Service Request is considered legally to be an offer open to acceptance and, if made unconditionally, and then unconditionally accepted by a zenGiver, you will have entered into a contract with that zenGiver. If you post a Service Request on the zenGOT Platform you will be asked to provide certain information pertaining to that Service Request such as the location where the products or services contained or described in the Service Request are to be delivered or performed, the date and time of the requested delivery or performance, the time required for the requested delivery or performance, any additional information relating to the requested delivery or performance, as well as your payment information (for first time requested delivery or performance). For requested delivery or performance that are not same day or urgent next day requests, you will have the opportunity to view available zenGivers and select the zenGiver you wish to fulfill or carry out the requested delivery or performance. For requested delivery or performance that are same day, the posting will go out to all available zenGivers who provide same day products or services for the requested delivery or performance in your area and beyond.
ii) Acceptance of a Service Request resulting in a Service Contract
Once a Service Request has been posted on the zenGOT Platform, a zenGiver can accept the Service Request based on their availability, qualifications and geographic proximity. Once a Service Request is accepted by a zenGiver this constitutes an enforceable legal contract ("Service Contract") between the zenGiver and you as Customer. After a zenGiver has accepted a Service Request, the zenGiver shall contact the Customer through the chat function on the zenGOT Platform to confirm the details for the Service Request and find out if the Customer has any special requests regarding the Service Request.
a. Cancelling or Rescheduling a Service Contract. If you wish to cancel or reschedule a Service Contract, you may do so, without penalty, as long as the Service Contract is cancelled or rescheduled at least 24 hours before the start time of the Service Contract either on the zenGOT Website or through the zenGOT App (in the appropriate place for such cancellation).
b. Fees for Customer Cancelling with less than 24 hours' notice. If you (as the Customer) are a no show for a Service Contract or if you cancel a Service Contract less than 24 hours before the start time of a Service Contract, you will be charged a cancellation fee in the amount set out below due to the impact such cancellation will have on the zenGiver and their ability or inability to book another Service Contract on such short notice:
1) For cancellations by the Customer within four (4) to twenty-four (24) hours before the start time of the Service Contract, the Customer will be charged the equivalent amount of one hour of the Service Contract;
2) For no-shows or cancellations by the Customer within zero (0) to four (4) hours before the start time of the Service Contract, the Customer will be charged the full amount of the Service Contract.
c. Fees for zenGiver Cancelling with less than 24 hours' notice. If you (as the zenGiver) are a no show for a Service Contract, or if you cancel a Service Contract less than 24 hours before the start time of a Service Contract, you will be charged a cancellation fee in the amount set out in the zenGOT Service Provider Agreement due to the impact such cancellation will have on the Customer and their ability or inability to book another Service Contract on such short notice.
d. Rearranging a Service Contract or waiving cancellation fees. zenGOT may choose to rearrange a Service Contract for a Customer with another zenGiver. zenGOT may compensate a zenGiver with part or all of any cancellation fees paid by a Customer. zenGOT may waive the cancellation fees under circumstances which we deem, at our sole discretion, to be suitable. A decision by us to waive a cancellation fee shall be deemed final.
e. Amendments to cancellation fees. At its sole discretion, zenGOT may choose to amend the cancellation fees from time to time. Further information regarding cancellation fees and/or any amendments to cancellation fees will be set out on the zenGOT website.
c) Electronic Communications:
While using the zenGOT Platform to send e-mails, text messages, and other communications from either your desktop or mobile device to us, you may be communicating with us electronically. By using the zenGOT Platform, you are granting express consent and agreement to accept and receive communications from us (including but not limited to: e-mails, text messages, phone calls, and push notifications) and you are invited to retain copies of such communications for your records. Furthermore you acknowledge and agree that all communications including but not limited to: agreements, disclosures, notices and any other communication which we provide electronically will satisfy any and all legal requirements that such communications be in writing.
d) Prohibited Acts:
Users of the zenGOT Platform are not permitted to exchange contact information such as telephone numbers, email addresses, or full names, nor may they post contact information on the zenGOT Platform. Once a Service Request has been posted, a zenGiver will receive location information and will be able to contact the Customer through the chat function on the zenGOT Platform to facilitate completion of the Service. At such time, Customers will also be able to communicate with the zenGiver via the chat function on the zenGOT Platform to provide any additional information regarding the Service Contract. You agree to respect the privacy of other Users of the zenGOT Platform and only use personal information to the extent necessary for the Service Contract to be completed.
Additionally, zenGOT invests time, money and resources in marketing and attracting Customers and zenGivers to sign up and use the zenGOT Platform and in providing the Services. You therefore agree that any Customers or zenGivers you meet or obtain through the zenGOT Platform are Customers or zenGivers of the zenGOT Platform and, as such, any arrangement of a Service Contract between the Customer and zenGiver must be made exclusively through the zenGOT Platform. You agree to not engage with or arrange Service Contracts, or any other contract or arrangement, with zenGivers or provide Services to zenGOT Customers outside of the zenGOT Platform as this reduces the value to all Users of the zenGOT Platform and jeopardizes its integrity. If it is determined that you are arranging Service Contracts with zenGivers or providing products or services to zenGOT Customers outside of the zenGOT Platform, without the express and written consent of zenGOT, zenGOT will have the right (but not the obligation) to take legal action against you and/or charge you, and collect from you, a Finders Fee in the sum of $2,000 in Canadian currency for each zenGOT Customer you are providing products or services to or for each zenGiver you arrange to provide products or services to you outside of the zenGOT Platform. Additionally, zenGOT has the right to permanently remove you and your zenGOT Account from the zenGOT Platform.
e) Non-Solicitation:
During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 months following the termination of this Agreement, regardless of the circumstances of such termination, you will not, either directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert, appropriate or misappropriate, or attempt to solicit, divert, appropriate or misappropriate for any purpose competitive with the interests of zenGOT or any Customer or any zenGiver, any User (including Customers and zenGivers) you have been introduced to or with which you have interacted through the zenGOT Platform.
f) Prohibited Services:

7. PAYMENT INFORMATION
a) Payments:
ALL PAYMENTS FOR zenGiver SERVICES MUST BE MADE ON A CASHLESS BASIS THROUGH THE zenGOT PLATFORM.
i) Methodology. Users of the zenGOT Platform contract for zenGiver Services directly with other Users acting as zenGivers. zenGOT is not (and will not be) a party to any Service Contract. Payments for zenGiver Services through the zenGOT Platform are made on a cashless basis by a Customer directly through the zenGOT Platform; such payments are facilitated through the zenGOT Platform via a secure third party Payment Processing Company (the “Payment Processing Company”).
ii) Payment Information by Customers. Customers will be required to provide their payment information (credit card information) securely through the zenGOT Platform to the Payment Processing Company.
iii) Hold on Credit Card for booked Service Contract. When a Customer enters into a Service Contract, a hold is placed on their credit card for one and a half times the estimated total amount of the zenGiver Services. If it is determined that a Customer will require a zenGiver for additional time, products or services, and the zenGiver and Customer agree to the extension of time of the original Service Contract then an additional hold may be placed on the Customer’s credit card for the additional estimated time of the zenGiver Service. Upon completion of the zenGiver Service, Customers will be responsible for the actual total amount of the zenGiver Service and the Customer’s credit card will be charged by zenGOT for the total amount of the zenGiver Service.
iv) Customer Invoices. Customer invoices will include the following information: (1) the pricing terms for the zenGiver Service (as agreed between Customer and zenGiver); (2) any gratuity or tip, if applicable; and (3) any taxes payable in relation to the provision of the zenGiver Service.
v) No payments via cash. At no time shall zenGivers receive payment for any Services directly from any Customer including any cash payments or otherwise.
vi) Payment Information by zenGivers. zenGivers will be required to provide their payment information (bank account details and related information) to zenGOT so that zenGOT can pay the zenGiver for the zenGiver Services performed by the zenGiver on the zenGOT Platform minus the service fee zenGOT charges for the utilization of the zenGOT Platform as set out in the zenGiver Service Provider Agreement.
vii) Refunds. zenGOT reserves the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion, upon request from any User or upon notice of any unauthorized charge, potential fraud, or misuse of the zenGOT Platform to: (1) place on hold any zenGiver Service payment; or (2) refund or credit the payment for same.
b) Additional payment card information:
While the zenGOT Platform accepts credit card payments submitted electronically to pay for zenGiver Services we do not receive detailed payment information. Such information is instantaneously transmitted from our systems directly to the Payment Processing Company through the industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. The Payment Processing Company then communicates to zenGOT whether your payment has cleared, but does not provide payment card information to zenGOT (other than the last four digits of your card number). Within our Privacy Policy, we may also provide a link to the privacy policy of the Payment Processing Company.
c) Gift Card Information:
i) Gift Cards. zenGOT gift cards (“Gift Cards”) may be available to make payments (in full or in part) for zenGiver Services rendered by a zenGiver (including the Service fee zenGOT charges for the utilization of the zenGOT Platform) but may not be used to pay for incidental (out of pocket) expenses.
ii) Gift card procedure. Customers are required to enter each Gift Card into their Account on the zenGOT Platform in order for it to be applied toward any zenGiver Service of their choice.
iii) Gift Card Terms. Gift Cards are non-refundable unless stated otherwise, and not replaceable if lost or stolen. A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Card and cannot be used as a credit or debit card. zenGOT reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased or used by any person, organization or company and further to cancel a Gift Card if we believe that the Gift Card was obtained through unauthorized or fraudulent means.
iv) Gift Card Expiry. Gift Cards have no set expiration date (except as required by law in a particular jurisdiction). However, zenGOT reserves the right at any time to refuse to honour a Gift Card where any product, service or zenGiver associated with such Gift Card is no longer available, whether at the price stated in association with the Gift Card, or at all.
v) Gift Card Use. In the event that a purchase exceeds the value of the Gift Card’s balance the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another method acceptable to zenGOT. Unused Gift Card balances are non transferable.
vi) Gift Card Notice. zenGOT reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if we believe that a billing error has occurred. zenGOT disclaims all liability for any such billing errors. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement and our Privacy Policy, and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance hereof.
