Version: 2.3

Welcome to Shortcut, a website located at www.getshortcut.co (the “Site”) and operated by Shortcut Mobile, Inc., d/b/a Shortcut (“Shortcut”, “us”, “our”, and “we”). Shortcut provides the Site and mobile applications (the “Applications”) to facilitate on-demand and in-home personal care services (collectively, with the Site and Applications, the “Services”). Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Services in connection with such features (“Supplemental Terms”). All such Supplemental Terms are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

These Terms of Use (“Agreement”) set forth the legally binding terms for your use of the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you are accepting this Agreement (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent) and you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent). You may not accept this Agreement or access or use the Services if you are not at least 18 years old. You may use the Services on behalf of individuals under 18 only if you are the parent or legal guardian of such individuals. If you do not agree with all of the provisions of this Agreement, do not access and/or use the Services. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms with the Company (this “Agreement”), whether or not you create a Shortcut account. If you wish to create a Shortcut account, please read these Terms at getshortcut.co/terms or through the Shortcut Application. Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Services is provided in Shortcut’s Privacy Policy at getshortcut.co/privacy.

THE TERMS OF USE INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND A WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS, AND REQUIRE BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

Accounts

Account Creation. In order to use certain features of the Services, you must register for an account with us (“your Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information. You agree not to create an account on behalf of someone other than yourself. You further agree that you shall not maintain more than one account at any given time. You may delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions in the Services. We may suspend or terminate your Account in accordance with the section entitled “Term and Termination.” You agree not to create an account or use our Services if you have been previously removed by Shortcut, or if you have been previously barred from any of the Services.

Account Responsibilities. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of your Account or any other breach of security. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

Services

The Services are a communications and technology platform that enables users of the Company’s applications, websites and other communications protocols provided as part of the Services (collectively, the “Applications”) to arrange and schedule grooming, stylist and/or barber services with independent third party providers of such services (each such person, a “Third Party Provider”). In addition to referring to such independent third party providers of grooming, stylist and/or barber services as Third Party Providers, we also refer to them as “Shortcut Barbers”, as discussed below. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SHORTCUT DOES NOT PROVIDE GROOMING, BARBER OR STYLING SERVICES, AND SHORTCUT DOES NOT FUNCTION AS AND IS NOT A BARBERSHOP NOR BEAUTY SALON. IT IS UP TO THE GROOMING SPECIALISTS, BARBERS, OR STYLISTS WORKING AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS WITH SHORTCUT TO OFFER SUCH SERVICES, WHICH MAY BE SCHEDULED OR MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH USE OF THESE SERVICES.

The Company checks the backgrounds of Third Party Providers via third party background check services. However, each User should exercise caution and common sense to protect its personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with any person whom you do not personally know. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO HOLD THE COMPANY FREE FROM THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE OUT OF THE SERVICES. THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SERVICES OR GOODS PROVIDED BY ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER.

Payment Terms

Booking Service Providers. You must provide us with a valid credit card (issued by Visa, American Express, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) (“Payment Provider”) as a condition to making an appointment with a service provider, including free promotional hair services Shortcut may arrange from time to time as part of the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. You may purchase cosmetic and lifestyle products and order in-home grooming services by following the directions provided by the Services. By providing us with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that Shortcut is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to us hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Shortcut of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder. We may change the pricing for in-home grooming appointments (from time to time in our sole discretion, and subject only to the right of service providers to review and accept said pricing changes) by updating the price list included on the Site and Application and without any additional notice to you, provided that any changes will not affect any items or services purchased prior to the notice.

Payment Process. If you order an in-home grooming service, you agree to pay the service provider the then-current applicable service fee listed in the Services or the website of our third party booking agent (“Booking Agent”) as linked to from the Site or Application. We, or our booking agent, will automatically bill your credit card submitted in booking an appointment on the date the appointment is booked or product ordered, and each time you book an appointment or order a product thereafter. All payments to the service providers are non-refundable, except in the event the service provider, or we cancel your appointment. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you are responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies or duties. Any amounts not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum legal rate if less. If any fee cannot be charged to your credit card for any reason, we may provide you, via email, notice of such non-payment and a link for you to update your payment information.

Cancellation. You may elect to cancel your request for services or goods from a Third Party Provider (a “Cancellation”) at any time prior to such Third Party Provider’s arrival, in which case you will be charged a cancellation fee if such cancellation is within four (4) hours of the Third Party Provider’s scheduled arrival time on our Services. If your cancellation is received by our Services more than four (4) hours before the Third Party Provider’s scheduled arrival time on our Services, Shortcut’s policy is generally you will not be charged a cancellation fee. You may cancel any appointment in accordance with our cancellation policy set forth at getshortcut.co/faq We reserve the right to cancel free promotional Services at any time for any reason. No credits or promotional value adjustments will be made in the event we cancel a free promotional Service. If the service provider cancels an appointment for any reason, you will receive a refund, unless Shortcut is able to book another service provider acceptable to you during the time scheduled for your appointment. If service providers cancel or terminate a paid appointment for any reason, we may, in our sole and reasonable discretion, issue you a refund of any fees pre-paid for such appointment. More generally, all refund requests must be submitted within 48 hours of the individual appointment. Any requests more than 48 hours after the individual appointment will not be granted.

Gratuity, Tipping and Services Feedback Policy. The payment structure for our Services which states that tipping is “voluntary”, “not required”, and/or “included” is not intended to suggest that the Company provides any additional amounts to the Third Party Provider, and the payment structure described above is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services or goods provided. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third Party Provider who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Service, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through the Service, you will have the opportunity to evaluate and rate your experience, and leave feedback, about your Third Party Provider.

Referral Credits. We offer credits for referring new users. To qualify for a referral credit, you must refer a new bona fide user who establishes a Shortcut account and reserves and books an appointment with a service provider within ninety (90) days of signing up for an account. Please note that referral credits are issued only for referrals of brand new users to Shortcut. Credits are not available for referring previous users of Shortcut Services. You may earn only one referral bonus per new user referred and you cannot earn a referral credit by referring yourself. We reserve the right to revoke or cancel credits at any time.

Promotional Codes. We may, in our sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for credit in your Account, or other features or benefits related to the Services, subject to any additional terms that we establish on a per promotional code basis (“Promo Codes”). Unless otherwise expressly stated in additional terms we establish for a particular Promo Code, Promo Codes may only be used once per person, multiple Promo Codes cannot be used in a single transaction or appointment, and each Promo Code benefit may only be redeemed once per account. Only Promo Codes sent to you through official Shortcut communications channels are valid. You further agree: (i) to use Promo Codes only for their intended purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) you will not alter, duplicate, sell, transfer or redistribute Promo Codes in any manner (including, without limitation, by posting Promo Codes to a website or other public forum), unless expressly permitted by us; (iii) Promo Codes may be disabled by us at any time for any reason without liability to us; (iv) Promo Codes may only be used pursuant to this Agreement and any specific additional terms that we establish for a Promo Code; (v) Promo Codes have no cash value; and (vi) Promo Codes may expire prior to your use.

Reservation of Rights. We reserve the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Promo Codes by you or any other user in the event we determine in our sole discretion that the use or redemption of the Promo Code in question or the provision of any referral credit was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or the terms of this Agreement. Once you have redeemed a Promo Code or used any credit in your Account, no further promotional value adjustments or credits will be issued for any reason, including but not limited to, dissatisfaction with the Services.

Your Responsibilities. As the recipient of in-home grooming services provided by service providers, you agree to assume certain responsibilities. When you book an appointment, you agree to comply with any rules or requirements of the service provider applicable to the service purchased and that you are made aware of, including as part of any confirmation email (the “Requirements”). Whether or not there are Requirements, you agree to: (a) create in your home (or other space where our service providers are invited to perform their services) a safe, clean, and reasonably comfortable workspace that is free of conditions that would make it difficult for our service providers to perform their jobs (all as determined in each of our service provider’s sole discretion); (b) provide a workspace that has access to bathroom facilities and is in close proximity to an electrical outlet and a sink with hot and cold running water; and (c) refrain, and cause other individuals present in your household to refrain, from any speech, conduct, or personal displays that a reasonable person would find offensive, intimidating, hostile, harassing, indecent or abusive while our service providers are present. If you have pets, you agree to confine all of your pets to a room where our service providers will not be working. If you have a child or children under the age of 13, you agree that childcare (provided by someone other than you and our service provider) will be present. This is important as the service provider will have equipment that can harm a child and our service provider will be focused on you. Service providers reserve the right to terminate or refuse to provide their services to anyone at any time in the event you do not fulfill your responsibilities as set forth in this Section or if a service provider feels unsafe or uncomfortable with her in-home work environment or conditions for any reason. You understand, acknowledge and agree that service providers are not employees or agents of Shortcut, but are independent contractors who operate business enterprises separate and distinct from Shortcut.

Your representations. If you are utilizing in-home beauty services in the United States you represent that the venue and location you have requested service at is in compliance with all state and local health and safety rules including but not limited to: having fully functioning plumbing; a running water system or a self-contained potable water system not less than 100 gallons, a fully functioning ventilation system, and a non-corrosive container for hair clippings and any waste. If you are utilizing in-home beauty Services in the state of Florida, you represent that the purpose of your request for the Services is in connection with: the motion picture, fashion photography, theatre or TV industry; photography studio salon work, i.e., hair arranging and cosmetics in preparation for a photo session; a special event, e.g. wedding, fashion show or other similar event; a trade show demonstration or educational seminar; or because of ill health you are unable to go to a licensed salon. If you are utilizing in-home beauty Services in the state of California, you represent that the purpose of your request for the Services is: incidental to the theatrical, radio, television or motion picture production industry; necessary due to your illness or other physical or mental incapacitation; or for the purpose of receiving recommendations and/or live demonstrations about products as well as potential purchase of products.

You and we acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Shortcut and Apple, Shortcut, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Agreement.

Without limiting any other terms of the Agreement, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.

Release. You hereby release and forever discharge us (and our officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injury, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any interactions with, or act or omission of, any service provider, other Service users or Third Party Sites & Ads.

Copyright Policy.

Shortcut respects the intellectual property of others and ask that users of our Site and Services do the same. In connection with our Site and Services, we have adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright laws that provide for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our online Services who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that one of our users is, through the use of our Services, unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
identification of the material on our Services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;
sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and
a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

General

Changes to Agreement. This Agreement is subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any) and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site. Any changes to this Agreement will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Site. You are responsible for providing us with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. Continued use of our Site or Services following notice of such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

Arbitration Agreement And Jury Trial Waiver, Class Action Waiver, And Forum Selection Clause.

Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation, enforceability and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and us or the service providers or our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, will exclusively be settled through binding arbitration.

Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one neutral arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving consumer contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules.

You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

You and we must abide by the following rules: (a) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (c) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (d) we also reserve the right in our sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (e) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (f) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (g) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or we may bring an individual action in small claims court. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in New York, New York in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York, New York solely for such purpose. This shall not be deemed to include disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability and scope of this arbitration provision and/or the arbitrability of any controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action, which disputes shall be resolved exclusively by the arbitrator. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. In any case in which the dispute is initiated or pursued as a class, collective or representative action, and any part of either subpart (a) or (b) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the class, collective, or representative action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of subpart (a) or (b) that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. Any dispute or claim not covered by this arbitration provision as described herein must be exclusively brought in state or federal court in New York, New York.
