Provider is solely responsible for reviewing all damages prior to beginning work.

4.4. Compliance with all Terms of Sale.
In addition to the Unauthorized Business and Prohibited Use of the Services, Site and the Mobile Application set forth herein, Provider warrants that any Provider Services sold to Customers (a) are not: illegal, obscene, abusive, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to any Third Party; (b) have not been identified by the U.S. Consumer Provider Services Safety Commission and any other regulations set forth by the countries of Provider and Customer as hazardous to consumers; (c) are not counterfeit; (d) are provided with all appropriate licenses and in compliance with all rules and regulations regarding the same; (e) are provided under industry-standard insurance policies; and (f) do not offend against the law of any country whose citizens might purchase the Provider Services.

Finally, Provider warrants and represents that he, she, or it has all licenses and authorizations required for performance of these Terms. Upon our request, Provider shall provide us with sufficient documentary evidence of such authorization or waiver. We are not obliged to require such documentary evidence, and the fact that we have not requested such documentary evidence shall not be deemed in any way as a statement as to whether or not such authorization or waiver is required.
For the avoidance of doubt, Providers acknowledge that they set or confirm their own prices, provide their own equipment, and determine their own work schedule. Start2Finish does not control, and has no right to control, the Provider Services Providers provide (including how the Provider provides such Provider Services) if the Provider is engaged by a Consumer, except as specifically noted herein.
4.5. Listing Description.
By listing a Provider Service for sale, Provider agrees to all terms of sale, including but not limited to cancellation, supplemental damage and refund policies. Provider’s listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that Provider Service and must be listed in an appropriate category with appropriate tags. Provider must keep his, her or its calendar of availability up to date at all times. All Terms of Sale and listings shall be subject to the approval of Start2Finish and may be removed by Start2Finish, without advance notice, for any or no reason whatsoever.
4.6. Ethical Selling Tactics Required.

Provider may refuse to sell a Provider Service to any User for any or no reason whatsoever so long as such a refusal does not violate federal, state, or local laws or any other rule or regulation.
4.10. Job Completion.
Providers shall be required to ensure customer satisfaction before the completion of a job. Provider agrees to guarantee any and all repairs performed by the Provider. Provider understands and agrees that if Customer is not satisfied with the repairs, Provider is responsible for ensuring satisfaction or executing a refund through the Start2Finish platform. Failure to comply with these terms may lead to termination of Provider’s account and litigation.
4.11. Non-Circumvention.
You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation Start2Finish receives for making Start2Finish available to you is collected through a service fee and that in exchange a substantial value to you is the relationships you make with other users when you identify or are identified by another person through Start2Finish. Start2Finish only receives the service fee when a Client and a Body Shop pay and receive payment through Start2Finish. Therefore, for 24 months from the start of a Start2Finish Relationship (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), you agree to use Start2Finish as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that person or arising out of your relationship with that person and not to circumvent the payment methods offered on Start2Finish. For the avoidance of doubt, if you, or the business you represent, did not identify and were not identified by another person through Start2Finish, such as if you and another user worked together before meeting on Start2Finish, then the Non Circumvention Period does not apply. If you use Start2Finish as an employee, agent, or representative of another business, then the Non-Circumvention Period applies to you and other employees, agents, or representatives of the business or its successor when acting in that capacity with respect to the other user.
By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you agree not to:
- Offer or solicit or accept any offer or solicitation from parties identified through Start2Finish to contract, hire, invoice, pay, or receive payment in any manner other than through Start2Finish.
- Invoice or report on Start2Finish or in a Conversion Fee request an invoice or payment amount lower than that actually agreed, made, or received between users.
- Refer a user you identified on Start2Finish to a third party who is not a user of Start2Finish for purposes of making or receiving payments other than through Start2Finish.
- You agree to notify Start2Finish immediately if a person suggests to you making or receiving payments other than through Start2Finish in violation of this section or if you receive unsolicited contact outside of Start2Finish. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non circumvention agreement, please submit a confidential report to Start2Finish.
- You acknowledge and agree that a violation of any provision in this section is a material breach of the Terms of Service. Your Account may be permanently suspended if you violate this section.
SECTION V: SERVICE FEES FOR PROVIDERS
5.1. Free Trial.
Providers wishing to test out our Services may do so via the making free quotes to potential Customers.
5.2. Transaction Fees.
The Site, Services, and Mobile Application are generally free to use; however, all sales made via the Services shall be subject to a per-purchase transaction fee, which shall be expressed as a percentage of the Provider Service purchase price (“Transaction Fee”) and which shall be set forth at all times on the Site and the Mobile Application as well as at the point of sale and/or listing, as applicable. The Transaction Fee for future Provider Service sales shall be subject to change without advance notice in our sole and exclusive discretion.
5.3. Chargebacks; Revocations; Refunds.
If an action by a Customer results in a chargeback, revocation or other refund Provider agrees that we may deduct the sum charged back together with any fee paid to our service provider and bank, from any sum due to Provider, at or after that time. If, in our sole and exclusive discretion, we believe that Provider’s use of the Services results in a significant number of chargebacks and/or Customer disputes or if we believe Provider is in breach of these Terms of Use, we are free to hold back payments to Provider until we are satisfied that disputes have been settled and/or breaches rectified.
5.4. Extra-Charges.
If, in a given month, an unreasonable amount of Customer complaints are made about the quality of Provider’s Provider Service, including but not limited to (a) non-performance of Provider Services, (b) sub-par quality of Provider Services, (c) improper description of Provider Service, and/or (e) non-responsive customer support of Provider, we reserve the right to charge an amount of Thirty U.S. Dollars and No/Cents ($30.00) per such incident of Customer complaint related to the Provider Service for the rest of that month, (an “Extra Charge.”) “Unreasonable amount of Customer complaints about the quality of the Provider’s Provider Service” shall mean that in any period of one (1) month more than three (3) Customers complain about the quality of Provider’s Provider Service. We shall, without delay, give notice to Provider of the fact that the conditions for an Extra Charge are fulfilled and that we shall be charging the Extra Charge for the rest of that month, and provide documentation on the fulfillment of the conditions for an Extra Charge to Provider.
5.5. Withholding of Funds.
Where we, in our reasonable opinion, are required to do so by law, we reserve the right to withhold funds for Provider Service sales that we reasonably deem suspicious with regard to money laundering, Unauthorized Business, fraud or other illegal activities or in case of any other chargebacks or revocations.
5.6. Payouts.
When you create your Account, you shall have the opportunity to designate a deposit account into which you wish to be paid out. Once funds for the purchase have cleared our payment processor (Stripe), they shall be available for withdraw to your designated deposit account less any fees. Payouts shall not occur automatically and must be initiated by the Provider.
You may view all pending revenues via your Account. Except as required by law, you shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for retaining permanent records of all transactions processed via our Services.
5.7. Responsibility for Accurate Pay Out Information.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate deposit account information for payout. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your address, email address and bank account information, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
5.8. Payout Schedule.
Funds shall be available for withdraw to your designated deposit account once they are cleared from the escrow services, where the same shall occur upon completion of a service rendered and approval of the same by Customer, or, in any event, no later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of purchase or expiry of the Provider Service, whichever is first. Generally, funds shall be available for withdraw as soon as they are available to Start2Finish, which may be delayed from time to time based on payment providers’ payout policies. We are not responsible and accept no liability for any delay of payment. To inquire about a payout schedule for any particular transaction, please first contact the Customer, followed by the payment processor (Stripe), and, finally, Customer Support (as set forth further in these Terms of Use.)
5.9. Right to Set-Off; Collection Rights.
We are entitled to set-off any and all claims against amounts payable to Provider. In addition, to the maximum extent provided by law, we may collect any and all obligations due and owing by you to us by deducting them from your pending transactions in the deposit account. Fees shall be assessed at the time of transaction processing and will be deducted from the funds received. Your failure to pay all amounts due and owning shall be deemed an immediate breach of this Agreement for which you will be liable. You further agree to pay all fees and costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by or on our behalf arising from or related to the collection of any unpaid obligations by you.
To the extent that a Customer obtains a refund through a payment processor (i.e. a chargeback) used by Start2Finish rather than through the Provider directly, Provider shall be liable to Start2Finish for any fees due to Start2Finish for the transaction between Customer and the Provider, as well as any costs, fees, or charges imposed by the payment processor as a resulf of any chargeback or refund (“Refunded Fees”). At Start2Finish’s discretion, Start2Finish may (i) invoice or otherwise charge the Provider for such Refunded Fees; (ii) debit or place a lien on the Provider’s account for such Refunded Fees; or (iii) subtract such Refunded Fees from any subsequent fees owed to the Provider in connection with other services.
5.10. Payment of Taxes.
Providers shall be responsible for paying any and all state, local, and federal taxes applicable to any sales of items facilitated by the Services and shall provide taxpayer information to Start2Finish, upon our written request. In the event a Provider meets taxation eligibility requirements, Start2Finish may provide taxation documents to such Provider.
5.11. Refunds.
Transaction Fees shall not be refundable for any reason, including but not limited to inability to provide Provider Services purchased, the failure of a Customer to pay for a Provider Service purchased, refunds made to Customers or chargebacks, dissatisfaction with the Services, or for any other reason whatsoever except for in instances of our material breach of this Agreement.

SECTION X: GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION
10.1. Disclaimer of Warranty; Limitation of Liability
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Broward County, Florida, and any cause of action that relates to or arises from these Terms, the Services, Site, or the Mobile Application must be filed therein unless subject to the binding arbitration provisions of Section 10.2, infra.
10.2. Arbitration & Class Action Waiver.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You and Start2Finish agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
This Section X is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with Start2Finish as follows:
10.2.1. Initial Dispute Resolution.
Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach Start2Finish’s support department at info@Start2Finish.app. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Start2Finish support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
10.2.2. Binding Arbitration.
If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ or Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding arbitration by an arbitrator mutually-selected by the parties or otherwise in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. 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 shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Start2Finish will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Start2Finish will pay the fees invoiced by the arbitrator, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Florida, United States of America, and you and Start2Finish agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Broward County, Florida in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
10.2.3. Class Action Waiver.
The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND Start2Finish AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. 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 provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
10.2.4. Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims.
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
10.2.5. 30-Day Right to Opt-Out.
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on Start2Finish) written notice of your decision to opt-out info@Start2Finish.app with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Platform; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Start2Finish also will not be bound by them.
10.2.6. Changes to This Section.
Start2Finish will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Site, pushing a notice to users of our Mobile Application, sending you an email to the email address associated with your Account, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your Account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after the same.
Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.
10.2.7. Survival.
This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or the Services.
10.3. Claims between Providers and Customers.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, for disputes, claims, or controversies arising between Providers and Customers, you agree to work together to amicably resolve the dispute between yourselves. In the event the same cannot be resolved, Start2Finish retains the right (but not the obligation) to resolve a claim in its own discretion or through the use of a neutral resolution, mediation, or arbitration process conducted by Start2Finish or a neutral third-party mediator or arbitrator selected by Start2Finish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Start2Finish is under no obligation to become involved in or impose resolution in any dispute between or among users or any third party.
SECTION XI: MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Non-Circumvention
You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation Start2Finish receives for making Start2Finish available to you is collected through a service fee and that in exchange a substantial value to you is the relationships you make with other users when you identify or are identified by another person through Start2Finish. Start2Finish only receives the service fee when a Client and a Body Shop pay and receive payment through Start2Finish. Therefore, for 24 months from the start of a Start2Finish Relationship (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), you agree to use Start2Finish as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that person or arising out of your relationship with that person and not to circumvent the payment methods offered on Start2Finish. For the avoidance of doubt, if you, or the business you represent, did not identify and were not identified by another person through Start2Finish, such as if you and another user worked together before meeting on Start2Finish, then the Non-Circumvention Period does not apply. If you use Start2Finish as an employee, agent, or representative of another business, then the Non-Circumvention Period applies to you and other employees, agents, or representatives of the business or its successor when acting in that capacity with respect to the other user.
By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you agree not to:
- Offer or solicit or accept any offer or solicitation from parties identified through Start2Finish to contract, hire, invoice, pay, or receive payment in any manner other than through Start2Finish.
- Invoice or report on Start2Finish or in a Conversion Fee request an invoice or payment amount lower than that actually agreed, made, or received between users.
- Refer a user you identified on Start2Finish to a third-party who is not a user of Start2Finish for purposes of making or receiving payments other than through Start2Finish.
- You agree to notify Start2Finish immediately if a person suggests to you making or receiving payments other than through Start2Finish in violation of this section or if you receive unsolicited contact outside of Start2Finish. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention agreement, please submit a confidential report to Start2Finish.
- You acknowledge and agree that a violation of any provision in this section is a material breach of the Terms of Service. Your Account may be permanently suspended if you violate this section.
11.2. Customer Service.
Should you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding the Site, Services, or the Mobile Application, customer service and technical support may be contacted at any time via info@Start2Finish.app. We strive to return all customer service inquires within forty-eight (48) business hours. We may also be contacted between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday at +1 866-798-4485.
11.3. Affiliate Disclosure.
We may have an affiliate relationship with third-parties and affiliates to whose products and/or services we link and promote through the Site and/or the Mobile Application. Because of this relationship, we may earn a commission on products purchased by a User from a third-party affiliate.
11.4. Authority.
Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that it is binding upon such party and enforceable in accordance with its Terms.
11.5. Waiver.
Any waiver of a right under these Terms of Use shall only be effective if agreed or declared in writing. A delay in exercising a right or the non-exercise of a right shall not be deemed a waiver and shall not prevent a party from exercising that right in the future. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
11.6. Force Majeure.
We shall not be bound to meet any obligation if prevented from doing so as a consequence of acts of God or force majeure, including but not limited to measures taken or imposed by any government or public authority or in case of any other event beyond the control of us, including but not limited to natural disasters (such as storm, hurricane, fire, flood, earthquake), war, civil unrest, terrorist activities, states of emergency, government sanctions, embargos, nationalizations, strikes and breakdowns of public utilities (such as of electricity or telecommunication services). We shall use all reasonable efforts to notify you of the circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as soon as possible, both without undue delay.
11.7. Assignment.
We shall have the right to assign and/or transfer these Terms of Use and our rights and obligations hereunder to any third party after notifying you as provided for herein. You agree and acknowledge that you shall not assign or transfer its rights or sub-contract or delegate the performance of any of its obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent in our sole and exclusive discretion.
11.8. Rights of Third Parties.
These Terms do not give any right to any third party unless explicitly stated herein.
11.9. Relationship of the Parties.
The parties are independent contractors under these Terms, and nothing herein shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between them. Neither party has authority to enter into Terms of any kind in the name of the other party.
11.10. Severability.
If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect.
11.11 Electronic Communications.
You hereby consent to receiving electronic communications (including text messages) from us, Providers, and Customers in accordance with our Privacy Policy at the email address and telephone number provided by you in conjunction with your Account.
11.12. Notices.
Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices shall be given by postal mail to Start2Finish Technologies INC., 8281 NW 24TH CT, Pembroke Pines, Florida 33024, and in the case of any User, to the email address you provide to us (either during the registration process or when your email address changes). Notice shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the address provided to us upon Account registration. In such case, notice shall be deemed given three (3) calendar days after the date of mailing.
11.13. Effective Date.
From time to time, we may update these Terms of Use by prominently posting a notice of update to the Site, pushing a notice to users of our Mobile Application and contacting you at the email associated with your account, so we encourage you to review them often.
