wpgaint Consumer Agreement
Thank you for your interest in wpgaint, an Internet platform ("Website") owned and operated by wpgaint ("wpgaint," "we," or "us"). wpgaint provides consumers (collectively, "Consumers" and individually, "Consumer" or "you") an online venue to solicit quotes for trades and services from service providers and professionals in various lines of work and commerce (collectively "Service Providers"). By registering on the Website, you may become a Consumer at no cost and will have the ability to request quotes for services. References to Websites shall include, but is not limited to, any and all uses of wpgaint.com via mobile applications, mobile devices, personal computers, email, telephones or other electronic devices.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
This Website and wpgaint's services are offered to you for use only in the United States and are conditioned upon your acceptance without modification, of the following terms, conditions, and notices contained in this wpgaint Consumer Agreement ("Agreement"). Please read this Agreement carefully. Regardless of whether you register with the Website, your use of the Website and any related services constitutes your agreement to all such terms, conditions, and notices. You agree and understand that certain features of the Website may be subject to additional terms and conditions or registration requirements. You agree to abide by these additional terms, and you further agree that a violation of those terms while you are accessing the Website shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. This Agreement also includes wpgaint's Privacy Policy and any notices regarding the Website.
You acknowledge and agree that wpgaint may amend this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version of this Agreement on the Website or by notifying Consumers directly in wpgaint's sole discretion. Your continued use of the Website after any such changes are made to this Agreement shall constitute your consent to such changes. wpgaint does not and will not assume any obligation to notify Consumers of any changes to this Agreement, or the creation or modification of any additional terms. You are responsible for remaining knowledgeable about the terms, conditions and notices of the Agreement.
Use and Age Restrictions
Use of the Website is permitted only by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, use of the wpgaint Website is not permitted by anyone under the age of 18. If you do not qualify, please do not use the Website.
Service Requests and quotes
Upon registration with wpgaint, a Consumer may submit through the Website a request for quotes for service or work ("Service Request") from Service Providers. Consumers must provide required information (e.g., what they want done, when they want it done, where they want it done) to submit a valid Service Request. All Service Requests posted through the Website must be lawful and not in violation of any city ordinance, state, local or federal law. A submitted Service Request must be descriptive enough to allow a Service Provider to ascertain the necessary details to submit a fully informed offer to provide the requested services ("Quote"). After submission of a Service Request, wpgaint will inform Service Providers with profiles that match the services requested by Consumer. Nevertheless, wpgaint does not and cannot guarantee that there will be Service Providers who are capable of or willing to complete the requested services at the time and place requested or that Consumer will receive Quotes from Service Provider(s).
A Quote can be submitted by a Service Provider in two forms: (1) a flat fee quote, or (2) an onsite estimate quote. A flat fee quote is used when a Service Request is specific enough to allow a Service Provider to provide an accurate quote, which can include both material and labor costs when and if applicable, for the job requested. An onsite estimate is used when a Service Provider is only able to provide an estimate for a job but will be able to provide a more accurate quote or a final quote upon completion of an onsite visit.
A Service Request includes a period of time in which Quotes may be submitted ("Quoting Period") by Service Providers; however, a Consumer may accept a Quote at any time, thereby ending the Quoting Period before the fixed amount of time has passed. A Quote from a Service Provider may be canceled or retracted up until the point when the Consumer accepts the Quote and the Service Request becomes a "Won Job."
When a Consumer accepts a Quote, he or she explicitly implies an offer to pay the Service Provider in the amount of the Quote for services rendered. Accepting a Quote amounts to entering a binding legal agreement to pay the Service Provider once the Service is rendered. Please consider carefully when you accept a Quote from a Service Provider.
When submitting a Service Request, ensure that the Service Request does not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other rights of any third party. By posting a Service Request you represent that the Service Request is lawful and does not infringe on the intellectual property of any third party. Your description of the Service Request must be truthful and accurate. Any Service Request posted on the Website: (a) shall not be fraudulent; (b) shall not infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (c) shall not violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including without limitation those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); (d) shall not be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (e) shall not be obscene or contain child pornography; and (f) shall not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information.
Service Providers
In registering with wpgaint, Service Providers represent that they are duly licensed (if applicable) and have the qualifications, experience and ability to properly perform their offered services. wpgaint requires Service Providers to post a profile ("Skill Profile") on the Website. wpgaint does not review or verify the information or representations set forth in those Skill Profiles, as they are self-reported by the Service Providers.
Licensing
wpgaint may verify the licensing information submitted by the Service Provider at the time of its registration. Different jurisdictions may require state and/or local level licensing for certain services, work, and/or project amounts. Consumers are responsible for determining which licenses, if any, are required for their requested services. Before you proceed with a project, you should confirm all licensing requirements with your state and local authorities and your selected Service Provider.
Insurance and Bonding
wpgaint provides Service Providers with the ability to enter information and documents concerning insurance policies and/or bonds covering their operations. wpgaint does not verify this information; however, Service Providers are required to warrant that the information they submit is complete, accurate and current. Before you proceed with a project, you should confirm any insurance and/or bonding requirements with your state and local authorities and your selected Service Provider.
Consumer Verification
YOU SHOULD VERIFY THAT THE INFORMATION PRESENTED BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER OR IN THE SERVICE PROVIDER'S PROFILE IS ACCURATE. wpgaint DOES NOT VERIFY ALL INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES CONCERNING SUCH INFORMATION.

MOST AGENCIES HAVE PERIODIC UPDATE CYCLES OR SCHEDULES AND THIS INFORMATION IS NOT UPDATED ON A REAL-TIME BASIS BY SUCH AGENCIES AND THIRD PARTY SOURCES.
No Warranty or Endorsement.
wpgaint does not endorse or recommend the services of any particular Service Provider. It is entirely up to the Consumer to enter into a direct contract or otherwise reach an agreement with a Service Provider. NOTWITHSTANDING wpgaint'S HOME SERVICE GUARANTEE, wpgaint DOES NOT WARRANT THE SERVICE PROVIDER'S PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB OR THE OUTCOME OR QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PERFORMED. SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF wpgaint, NOR IS wpgaint AN AGENT OF THE SERVICE PROVIDERS. wpgaint DOES NOT PERFORM, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, ANY OF THE SERVICES REQUESTED BY THE CONSUMER IN THE SERVICE REQUEST. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES OFFERED BY SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.
Interactions and Disputes with Service Providers
With exception of the Service Guarantee, wpgaint will not work to resolve any disputes between Consumers and Service Providers (collectively "Users") and is not responsible for disputes, claims, losses, injuries or damage of any kind that might arise out of or relate to conduct of Users.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT wpgaint DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO VERIFY ALL STATEMENTS OF SERVICE PROVIDERS. wpgaint MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY SERVICE PROVIDER OR THE SERVICE PROVIDER'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE A SERVICE COMPLIANT WITH THE CONSUMER'S SERVICE REQUEST. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT wpgaint MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE QUALITY OF SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY SERVICE PROVIDER.
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER CONTRACTS YOU ENTER INTO WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SUCH CONTRACTS AND BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL LAWS. SHOULD YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ANY SERVICE PROVIDER, YOU SHOULD ADDRESS SUCH DISPUTE WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDERS DIRECTLY.
