OUR ONLINE CAREGIVER MATCHING SERVICE..
Eligibility. Areas designated
as "Matching Services" are available only to persons 18 years and older who have
the legal capacity to enter into legally binding contracts. This means minors may
not use the Matching Service. By using the Matching Service, you represent and warrant
that you are of legal age and capable of entering into binding contracts
Nature of Relationship. Our
Matching Service offers certain features that can be used to match cargivers with
persons wishing to employ caregivers. The Matching Service is offered solely as
a venue for caregivers seeking employment to list their qualifications and for persons
seeking to employ caregivers to list their needs for caregiver services. You and
other members of this Service are solely responsible for all aspects of any transactions
that may occur, including, without limitation, the accuracy and legality of such
listings and communications exchanged, the selection of employers or employees and
the performance or non-performance of any resulting agreement. We are not a party
to these transactions. We have no control over the safety, quality, or legality
of the jobs or profiles posted, the ability of cargiver candidates to satisfactorily
fill listed jobs, prospective employers’ ability to employ caregivers for the jobs
they have listed, or the truth or accuracy of any listing. We cannot give any assurance
that a caregiver candidate or employer will perform or pay for any services. You
assume all risks associated with dealing with others with whom you come in contact
with through the Service. These risks include, without limitation, the risk of physical
harm, of dealing with strangers, people acting under false pretenses, foreign nationals,
or underage persons
Fee Schedule. Prospective employers
may browse the Service’s candidate profile listings without accessing any contact
information free of charge. Registered caregivers may view employer profiles at
no charge or purchase a paid member subscription to access enhanced features and
improve exposure. We reserve the right to impose new or different fees by posting
a new Fee Schedule. New Fee Schedules are effective on the date posted, or such
other effective date identified in the Fee Schedule.
Listings. When you upload a
listing or otherwise communicate via the Matching Service, you irrevocably grant
our Service the worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable right and license
to store, copy, reproduce, adapt, create derivative works of, transmit, disseminate,
perform and display the listing or communication through the Matching Service and
any partner or affiliated listing sites and to make such incidental and additional
uses as may be needed to operate the Matching Service through any media or technology
now known or hereafter created. Any listings posted on the Matching Service, partner
or affiliate sites will only display the general information about a user's listing
(if they elect to make their listing public), including but not limited to general
description, city and state. All non-public customer information, including but
not limited to any personal or contact information will not be made available as
part of the published listings and will ONLY be available to registered users of
the GoNannies.com Matching Service. Non-public customer information will never be
made available to any non-registered users of the GoNannies.com Matching Service.
You irrevocably grant us the right to obtain a copyright in the compilation of listings
and communication threads, including your own.
Background Check Services. Background
check services made available by the Matching Service are provided by a third party
Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) as defined by the Federal Trade Comission, and as
such, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs its activities as such an agency.
The Matching Service may offer the ability for users to purchase and process pre-employment
verifications (background checks) on parties they are considering to employ, and
they must obtain all necessary authorizations from that potential employee as required
and facilitated by the Matching Service, the third party CRA, and the FCRA. Job
seekers have the ability to run Preliminary background checks on themselves and
make that information available to potential employers as they desire. Job seekers
are provided with precautions and safety information to allow them to safeguard
their information and limit exposure to their information to employers they have
met and determined they need their Preliminary background check information for
legitimate hiring purposes. Access to Preliminary background check results offered
by the Matching Service to customers of the Matching Service seeking to employ an
applicant may be offered free of charge to such employers, and are limited to database
and/or repository search results which are not legal to be used for making hiring
decisions. The Matching Service makes available supplemental background checks to
potential employers to supplement the Preliminary background checks and provide
information upon which a hiring decision CAN be made. Any background check, including
the Preliminary background checks, must be authorized by the person on whom the
background check will be run in accordance with FCRA regulations. Therefore, it
is a job seeker's prerogative to decline a request for access to view any background
check results and/or to run a background check.
Prohibited Behavior on Matching Service.

not: (a) contain any information that is knowingly false, misleading or materially
inaccurate; (b) infringe any third party intellectual property or privacy rights;

employment laws, securities laws, export laws and technology transfer laws); (d)
contain any information that is defamatory, harassing or patently offensive; (e)

other web sites, services or match-making services, (i) link to any content or service
that violates this Agreement; (j) use any robot or other automatic device to access,
copy, retrieve or use any content obtained from the Matching Service (this means
you must actually be present at your computer terminal and use the Matching Service
manually), (k) use any program or device to meta-search or consolidate listings
from our Service with listings or bids from other matching services. WE RESERVE
THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY LISTING OR COMMUNICATION AND SUSPEND OR TERMINATE ANY MEMBER
THAT VIOLATES THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OR OTHERWISE ENGAGES IN BEHAVIOR THAT WE
IN OUR SOLE JUDGMENT CONSIDER TO BE INAPPROPRIATE.
Taxes. You are responsible for
the timely filing of any required returns and the payment of all applicable taxes
or levies, including interest and penalties imposed thereon ("Tax Claims") arising
from or relating to your use of the Matching Service or any goods or services bought,
sold or exchanged as a result of using the Service, and you agree to defend, indemnify
and hold our Service harmless from any and all Tax Claims.
No Endorsement. We do not review
or endorse the truth, accuracy, reliability, integrity or quality of any information
posted in the Matching Service, or any services exchanged as a result of such activities.
We do not screen prospective candidates or prospective employers. We urge you to
perform your own screening and investigation of any persons with whom you come into
contact with through the Service. We may provide you access to third party background
checking services. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THESE SERVICES AND WE CAUTION
YOU THAT SUCH BACKGROUND CHECKING SERVICES MAY NOT BE COMPLETE OR ACCURATE AND THEREFORE
SHOULD BE USED ONLY AS PART OF AN OVERALL INVESTIGATION OF ANY CANDIDATE OR PROSPECTIVE
EMPLOYER.
Outage Policy on Matching Service.
We are not responsible for any outage or disruption in your use of the Matching
Service, including, without limitation, any system outages.
Disputes Among Users of Matching Service.
Our Service is not a party to any exchange of information or to any
subsequent agreement to buy, sell or exchange services resulting from use of the
Matching Service. You agree to hold us harmless from and release our Service (including,
without limitation, our officers, directors, owners, agents, affiliates, and employees)
from any and all liability arising out of or in connection with any dispute that
may result from your use of the Service or any service, employment, or employee
obtained thereby (including, without limitation, any claim for direct, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages or attorney fees, even if we are advised of
the possibility of such damage, and whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise).
If you nevertheless try to involve us in a dispute, you will comply with the Governing
Law provision of this Agreement and pay our costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees.
California Residents: if you
reside in California, you waive the protection of California Civil Code Section
1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release,
which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
SYSTEM SECURITY.
We offer secure web pages, including the utilization of 128-bit encryption, to collect
certain kinds of information from users and we store certain kinds of sensitive
information in encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical and management practices
to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our
system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented
by our Service reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate
to the type of data involved.

and any future amendments to it, are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety
into this Agreement and subject to these terms. Third parties providing goods or
services to you (including, without limitation, those advertising or providing links
on our Service) may have privacy policies or practices that differ from our own.
Please check their sites' privacy disclosures for details.

VERIFIED BY YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS.

transportation, utilities, services or supplies, governmental action, computer viruses,
corruption of data, hacker attack, incompatible or defective equipment, software
or services or otherwise. Nothing herein enlarges any warranty or diminishes any
disclaimer under this Agreement.

you should have little reason to have a grievance with us. Should you nevertheless
bring legal action against us, you irrevocably agree it will be brought and maintained
within one (1) year after the claim arises or be barred. As disincentive for unwarranted
litigation, you agree that if you sue us and don't win on the merits, you will pay
our defense costs, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees for in-house
and outside counsel. If we are required to enforce this Agreement or our rights,
