Services Overview
The Service, among other functionality, is designed to enable users to post open jobs or apply to open jobs. Users acting as, or on the behalf of, a person or company seeking to hire someone, or solicit their services are referred to as “Customers”, and those that are seeking a job or work are “Applicants” for purposes of this Agreement. Customers’ job descriptions and openings will be posted on the Service and Applicants will contact us to apply to one or more openings that they find on the Service. If an Applicant is extended an offer by a Customer for an internal, full-time, or internship position, and they accept, subject to additional legal agreements between the Customer and the Applicant, they will become an employee of the relevant Customer (collectively, “Employee”), subject to all the policies of the Customer, and in that circumstance, the Customer will have the sole responsibility of paying your compensation. However, if an Applicant receives and accepts an offer from a Customer for a part-time, contract, freelance, or temporary role (collectively, “Contractor”), subject to additional legal agreements between us and the Applicant, they will become our Contractor, and we will be responsible for paying them, but the Contractor will still provide the services discussed in the job description to the Customer in this capacity. Contractors may be subject to additional Curate policies and procedures. If you become our Contractor, we will request information relating to your preferred payment method (e.g. bank account) (“Payment Method”) in order to pay you according to the agreed upon compensation and in accordance with our normal payroll practices. We may use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to pay you. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor or by you with respect to payment. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Payment Processor, or you, make even if it has already attempted to make payment. We are not responsible to any Employee for any non-payment by a Customer. YOU MAY STOP USING THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME.

Except as otherwise restricted by applicable law, you agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Service will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, 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 this agreement. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration between you and Curate shall have three (3) arbitrators. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: Curate Partners LLC, 300 Unicorn Park Drive, 1st Floor, Woburn, MA 01801 USA. Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect, shall be conducted in English, and shall be located in Wilmington, Delaware. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrators, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. You and Curate agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and Curate agree that each have waived any right to a jury trial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights. To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN DELAWARE.Policies for Children

You may not assign the Agreement without our prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void. No Waiver.

The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement. Notices. All notices given by you or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to: Curate Partners LLC, 300 Unicorn Park Drive, 1st Floor, Woburn, MA 01801 USA, or sent via email to operations@curatepartners.com.
