TERMS OF USE
THESE TERMS OF USE (“TERMS”) ARE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND PAINTZEN INC. (“PAINTZEN”) THAT GOVERNS YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS AND USE THIS WEBSITE AND RELATED SERVICES. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OR ACCESSING OUR SERVICES. BY USING OR ACCESSING THIS WEBSITE OR THE RELATED SERVICES YOU SIGNIFY YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSENT TO THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE OR RELATED SERVICES. PAINTZEN CAN REVISE THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME BY UPDATING THIS POSTING, AND YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE AFTER SUCH CHANGE SIGNIFIES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGED TERMS. PLEASE CHECK THESE TERMS PERIODICALLY FOR CHANGES.
Welcome to www.Paintzen.com (our “Website”). The Website is an online portal where individuals and businesses can schedule, book, and pay for paint and painting services. The Website allows you to submit a request for painting services (“Painting Services”) and then generates a work order (the “Work Order”) containing the details of the proposed project (number of rooms, room types, extras, specifications, etc.) (the “Project”). Paintzen communicates the Work Order to third party painters (“Painters”) who have expressed a desire to obtain leads from Paintzen. If the Painter accepts a request, the Service notifies you and provides information regarding the Painter and the terms under which the Painter will provide the Painting Services to you (the “Painting Contract”). All services provided by Paintzen to you by means of your use of the Website are hereafter referred to as the “Service”. By using the Website or the Service, you agree to the following Terms:
Painting Projects and Contract With Painter
A Painter has sole and complete discretion to accept or reject each request for Painting Services. If the Painter accepts your Work Order request, the Service notifies you and provides the terms of the Painting Contract to you on behalf of the Painter – Paintzen is not a party to the Painting Contract. If you indicate you wish to hire the Painter for your Project, you are directly contracting with the Painter (not Paintzen) for the Painting Services. The Painter will then perform the Painting Services and complete your Project in accordance with the terms negotiated by you and the Painter, including those terms set forth in the Work Order and the Painting Contract.
IMPORTANT: You understand and agree that Paintzen itself does not provide painting services, and that Paintzen is not a painting contractor, licensed home improvement contractor or employment service, nor is Paintzen an agent of the Painter. The Painters made available through the Service are not employees, contractors or agents of Paintzen. It is up to the Painter to offer and provide painting services, which may be requested through the use of the Website and/or the Service. Paintzen only acts as intermediary to facilitate the transaction between you and the Painter. The provision of the Painting Services by the Painter to you is subject to the Painting Contract to be entered into between you and the Painter (not Paintzen). PAINTZEN DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE QUALITY, TIMING, OR ANY OTHER ASPECT WHATSOEVER OF ANY PAINTING SERVICES AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE PAINTING SERVICES OR THE CONDUCT OR ACTIVITIES OF PAINTERS. You agree and understand that you assume all risks when using the Services and the Painting Services, including any risks associated with interactions with Painters and receipt of Painting Services.
Satisfaction Guarantee
Because painting is a subjective service, Paintzen can’t offer refunds once work has started. However, we do offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee (the “Satisfaction Guarantee”). This means we will continue to work to accommodate you, including arranging for additional Painting Services to correct defective or deficient work, until you are 100% satisfied with the outcome. If your Painter did not satisfactorily complete the Painting Contract, you must let us know within 3 calendar days of completion of the Painting Services by contacting us at 1866-513-0849 and we’ll come back and fix it – free of charge. Issues not reported within 3 calendar days will be corrected only in our discretion. In no event will any refunds or credits be provided once payment has been released to the Painter.
Payment and Payment Disputes
Paintzen facilitates payments for the Painting Services. The quoted price for your Project (the “Project Fee”) will be included in the Work Order. At the time you hire the Painter and authorize the Project, you will be charged 10% of the Project Fee (or, if less and if required by applicable law, $1,000) (the “Deposit”). You will be charged the remainder of the Project Fee on the day the Painter begins to provide the Painting Services. Paintzen retains the Project Fee until the completion of the Project. If Paintzen does not receive a written complaint from you within three days after Painting Services are completed (the “Complaint Period”), then the Project will be marked as closed by Paintzen, and the agreed upon payment will be transferred to the Painter. After such time no refund will be made of any part of the Project Fee.
If within the applicable Complaint Period you notify us in writing of a complaint under our Satisfaction Guarantee or of a dispute with the Painter, we will attempt to assist you in resolving the issue. Paintzen will continue to hold the Project Fee amount (in a non-interest bearing account) without release pending (1) withdrawal of your complaint (of which you agree to provide prompt written notice to Paintzen), (2) joint written instructions from you and the Painter to release the Project Fee; (3) resolution of the dispute pursuant to the Arbitration provisions of these Terms; or (4) receipt of an order from an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction or other release required by process of law.
You should not make any payments to the Painter for the Project outside of the Website and Paintzen will not be responsible for any such payments or refunds thereof. You agree that you will pay through the Service for all Painting Services that you purchase or receive from the Painter, and that Paintzen may on behalf of the Painter charge your credit card account as provided by you when authorizing the Project, including the Project Fee and any taxes and charges for supplies authorized by you. Please note that in the event you dispute any part of a Project Fee via chargeback, you agree we have the right at our option to pursue you for payment, to seek reimbursement of any related costs incurred by us, to turn any past due account over to collections and/or report delinquent payment to credit bureaus. We will collect and pay applicable sales tax on behalf of the Painter on your Project. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and other taxes related to the Service and Painting Services and for providing Paintzen with a valid credit card account for payment of all fees at all times. Paintzen retains the right, in its sole discretion, to place a hold on your payment card to cover any payment for the total Project Fee.
Paintzen uses a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to process payments or credits, as applicable, in connection with your use of the Service. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer in addition to these Terms. Paintzen is not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor or for any security breaches suffered by such entity. In connection with your use of the Service, Paintzen will obtain certain transaction details, which Paintzen will use solely in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
Hazardous Substances
The Project Work Order estimate does not include additional charges which may accrue to correct hazardous conditions, such as the existence of lead paint, asbestos, mold, mildew or other hazardous substances. A Painter may immediately suspend work and/or cancel a Project for cause if such substances are encountered.
Cancellation Policy
Paintzen asks that if you must cancel your appointment for Painting Services, please do so more than 48 hours before the Project is scheduled to begin. If you do cancel the Project less than 48 hours before Project commencement, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $50 plus the cost of any Supplies ordered for your Project.
A Painter reserves the right to cancel your Project for cause, such as if your site is unsuitable, inaccessible or unsafe or hazardous materials are present, or due to force majeure or inappropriate activity by you or third parties. In such a case, you will be responsible for paying for work performed prior to termination plus the cost of any Supplies specifically ordered for your Project.
No Responsibility for Painters or Painting Services/Release
Paintzen does not have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of any Painting Services provided or to be provided by Painters in connection with any Project, nor of the integrity, responsibility or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Painters. You acknowledge and agree that Paintzen will have no responsibility or liability relating to (i) compliance with EPA Lead laws and regulations, OSHA safety requirements and other laws, regulations and rules relating to the Painting Services provided by Painters, or (ii) compliance with state or local licensing regulations applicable to Painters.
Paintzen takes reasonable commercial efforts to screen Painters using reasonable background checks, reference checks and interviews. We also take reasonable steps to verify that Painters have obtained applicable state licenses and insurance/bonding. However, Paintzen does not independently verify information from third party sources or verification services. You are encouraged to verify to your own satisfaction that the Painter has obtained the appropriate license, insurance and bonding requirements for your Project. You acknowledge that Paintzen is not liable for misrepresentations or misleading or inaccurate information supplied by Painters or third party sources or verification services, and you release Paintzen from any liability in connection therewith.
Because Paintzen is not involved in the actual Painting Contract between you and the Painter or in the completion of the Painting Service, in the event that you have a dispute with a Painter, you release Paintzen (and our officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, and employees) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes (“Dispute Liabilities”), as further provided in the Liability Disclaimer and Release provision below.
Supplies/Product
Your purchase of paint and other Project supplies via the Service (“Supplies”) is subject to these Terms and any terms of sale presented at the time you authorize the purchase. Supplies are not returnable or refundable once purchased. Neither Paintzen nor the Painter makes any warranties with respect to Supplies. Supplies are warranted, if at all, only by the manufacturer as evidenced by any written license or warranty that is provided in connection with such product. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to mistake, typographical error, or error in pricing information received from suppliers, Paintzen shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the Supplies listed at the incorrect price whether or not the order has been confirmed or accepted.
Publicity
Paintzen reserves the right to, and you expressly permit Paintzen to, take photos and recordings of the work done by Painters and to reproduce and display such photos and recordings online and in marketing materials for the Service and/or Painters (including the right to permit our designees to do the foregoing). You agree to allow Paintzen (or its designee) with reasonable access to the Project site for such purpose, and that you agree that Paintzen may disclose, copy, reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, distribute, translate, reformat, incorporate, and otherwise use such photos and recordings, along with your name, voice, likeness and other information, content, or materials embodied therein, in whole or in part, and create derivative works therefrom, in any media now known or hereafter developed, and for any and all commercial or non-commercial purposes without compensation to you or anyone else.

Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Paintzen, its officers, directors, employees, agents and suppliers, for any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) relating to or arising out of (i) your use of or inability to use the Website or Services, (ii) your violation of any of these Terms or your use or misuse of the Service or Painting Services, (iii) your violation of any rights of a third party including Painters, (iv) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, or (v) your interactions with Painters or receipt of Painting Services, including all claims against Painters and Dispute Liabilities. Paintzen reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Paintzen with respect to such defense, including without limitation in asserting any available defenses.
Termination
Paintzen reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Website and Service or any portion thereof at any time, without notice. These Terms shall continue to apply for as long as you use the Service, and any provisions contained herein which by their nature or effect are required or intended to be observed after termination will survive termination and remain binding, including the provisions regarding your indemnification obligations, our limitations of liability and the resolution of disputes through arbitration.
Changes to Terms
Paintzen reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the Terms under which the Website and Service may be used by updating this posting, and your use after such change signifies your acceptance of the changed Terms. The most current version of the Terms will supersede all previous versions. Paintzen encourages you to periodically review the Terms to stay informed of our updates.
International Users
The Service is controlled, operated and administered by Paintzen from our offices within the USA.

You agree that you will not use the Paintzen content accessed through the Website in any country or in any manner prohibited by any applicable laws, restrictions or regulations.
Choice of Law
To the maximum extent permitted by law, this agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Arbitration of Disputes
Unless otherwise provided by applicable law or in the applicable Painting Contract, any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms, the Website, the Service, or any supplies or services, including Painting Services, arranged or obtained by or through the Service, will be resolved by binding arbitration in New York City, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section. You and Paintzen each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Further, unless both you and Paintzen otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration you and Paintzen each waive any right to a jury trial. Both parties agree that either may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. You and Paintzen irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in New York City in connection with any such litigation. Both parties waive any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction, place of residence, improper venue or forum non conveniens in any such action. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE YOU ARE CONSENTING TO ARBITRATION AND WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS.
Privacy
Please see our Privacy Policy for information regarding the collection and use of personal information from the Website.
Despite any representations concerning privacy, Paintzen reserves the right to disclose without notice to you any information in its possession if required to do so by law or upon a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law, to protect or defend our rights or property, or to respond to an emergency situation. Specific areas or pages on the Website may include additional or different terms relating to the use of personal information collected from such areas or pages.
Miscellaneous
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Paintzen as a result of these Terms or use of the Service. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, 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 the agreement shall continue in effect.
Paintzen’s failure to enforce any part of these Terms will not be considered a waiver. You will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else without Paintzen’s consent.
Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms constitutes the entire agreement between you and Paintzen with respect to the Website and Service and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Paintzen with respect thereto. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. It is the express wish to the parties that these Terms and all related documents be written in English.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA USERS:
State law requires anyone who contracts to do construction work to be licensed by the Contractors State License Board in the license category in which the contractor is going to be working—if the total price of the job is $500 or more (including labor and materials).
Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. If you contract with someone who does not have a license, the Contractors State License Board may be unable to assist you with a complaint. Your only remedy against an unlicensed contractor may be in civil court, and you may be liable for damages arising out of any injuries to the contractor or his or her employees.
You may contact the Contractors State License Board to find out if this contractor has a valid license. The Board has complete information on the history of licensed contractors, including any possible suspensions, revocations, judgments, and citations. The Board has offices throughout California. Please check the government pages of the White Pages for the office nearest you or call 1-800-321-CSLB for more information.
PAINTING CONTRACT DETAILS
The name, address and California license number of the Painter, as well as a description of the Project and materials to be used and provided, Project Fee and the down payment (or Deposit) are identified in the Painting Contract that is executed prior to the job commencement.
THE DOWN PAYMENT MAY NOT EXCEED $1,000 OR 10 PERCENT OF THE CONTRACT PRICE, WHICHEVER IS LESS.
PAYMENTS: The remainder of the Contract Price will be charged on the day the Painter commences work. Paintzen retains the Project Fee until completion of the Project and expiration of the complaint period. DURING THE COMPLAINT PERIOD, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AS PROVIDED IN THE USER TERMS, TO MAKE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SERVICES UNDER THE SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. THE PAINTER WILL NOT BE PAID UNTIL EXPIRATION OF THE COMPLAINT PERIOD, AS PROVIDED IN THE USER TERMS. The Painter does not have any financial or other interest in Paintzen.
NOTICE OF CANCELLATION
Right to Cancel: The law requires that the Painter gives you a notice explaining your right to cancel. You acknowledge that notice has been given as part of the User Terms. You agree that Painter has given you notice of your right to cancel the Painting Contract.
The Notice of Cancellation may be sent to Paintzen at contact@paintzen.com
SCHEDULE
Commencement of work under the Painting Contract occurs when the Painter begins performance of the Painting Services. The approximate start and completion dates are identified in the Painting Contract.
INSURANCE
A notice concerning commercial general liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance for the Painter is included in the Painter’s profile sent prior to commencement of the job.
NOTE ABOUT EXTRA WORK AND CHANGE ORDERS
Extra work and change orders become part of the Painting Contract once the order is prepared in writing and agreed to by the parties through the Paintzen Service prior to the commencement of work covered by the new change order. The order must describe the scope of the extra work or change, the cost to be added or subtracted from the contract, and the effect the order will have on payments. Painter’s failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph does not preclude the recovery of compensation for work performed based upon legal or equitable remedies designed to prevent unjust enrichment.
Information about the California Contractors’ State License Board (CSLB):
CSLB is the state consumer protection agency that licenses and regulates construction contractors. Contact CSLB for information about the licensed contractor you are considering, including information about disclosable complaints, disciplinary actions, and civil judgments that are reported to CSLB. Use only licensed contractors. If you file a complaint against a licensed contractor within the legal deadline (usually four years), CSLB has authority to investigate the complaint. If you use an unlicensed contractor, CSLB may not be able to help you resolve your complaint. Your only remedy may be in civil court, and you may be liable for damages arising out of any injuries to the unlicensed contractor or the unlicensed contractor’s employees.
