PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH (IF YOU ARE RESIDENT IN THE USA OR ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD) REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL AND NOT A CLASS-WIDE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.

The BOULO Platform. The mission of BOULO is to match professionals seeking work with companies looking for part-time, full-time and contract based workers to fill a specific need. In that regard, the Platform is where companies (each a “Company” and together, “Companies”) seeking Company-related services (the “Services”) connect with independent professional and consultant workers (the “Talent”) for placement services, including project-based staffing, interim and permanent staffing, and strategic advisory services.
1. Services. BOULO will perform for Company the Services in accordance with the these Terms of Use. If there is a conflict or ambiguity between any of the terms of these Terms of Use and any additional written agreements, the terms of the specific agreement will prevail for that instance only.

1. No Guarantee to be Listed. You Understand and agree that applying to be listed as Talent on BOULO’s platform does not guarantee that You will be permitted to use our Services. BOULO only selects Talent to be listed that meet our criteria and have paid all applicable fees. Such Fees are subject to change without notice. BOULO will make reasonable efforts to post those changes on the Platform.
2. Selection. If You are selected to be placed as Talent on BOULO’s Platform and pay the applicable fee, You will be entitled to review Position Descriptions and will be provided with a means to contact Companies regarding those Position Descriptions.

For Every User

Invoicing and Payment Terms. (“You” refers to the reader which may be the Company or Talent)
1. Billing and Payment.
  1. We do not ask for any payment information today and while we don’t charge to be a Boulo member, today, we know we will be adding more and more valuable features that could require a membership. The following charge details pertain to future development. In addition, you will never be charged for a membership in the future unless you explicitly select a membership level and enter your payment information.
  2. Membership Charges If You choose to sign up for a BOULO membership, You agree to pay BOULO all membership charges associated with the plan You subscribe to as described in the Fee Schedule, or elsewhere on the Platform, at the time You submit your profile response and provide your payment information. You also authorize BOULO to charge your chosen payment Company according to the terms of the plan to which You subscribe. The membership period and the amount and frequency of the charges will vary depending on the membership plan You select.
2. Correction of Errors. BOULO reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. To the extent You elect to purchase other Services BOULO may offer for a fee, You authorize BOULO to charge your chosen payment Company for the Services You purchase. You agree that if BOULO already has your credit card on file as a result of prior purchases You have made, BOULO may charge that credit card for the additional Services You purchase.
3. Automatic Membership Renewal and Cancellation. BOULO paid memberships will continue indefinitely until cancelled by User. After your initial membership commitment period, and again after any subsequent membership period, your membership will automatically renew for an additional equivalent period as the membership term You originally selected and at the membership rate and frequency disclosed to You on the Site when You originally joined, unless otherwise provided at the time You joined. If You sign up for a payment plan that allows You to be charged monthly over the membership period and You decide to cancel your membership during the membership period, You acknowledge and agree that You will continue to be billed for the membership on a monthly basis until its originally scheduled expiration date. You may cancel your paid membership by adjusting your settings.
4. Cancellation. If You cancel your membership, You will not be permitted to use your membership after such cancellation, effective immediately. BOULO expressly reserves the right to immediately deactivate your membership after You initiate a cancellation. You will not incur any fees associated with such cancellation, and BOULO will provide no refunds related to any cancellations.
5. Refund Policy. All payments for Services are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for unused or partially used Services or Service cancellations.
6. Free Trial or Discounted Offers. BOULO may offer lifetime or limited-time free or discounted trial memberships to certain Users from time-to-time. If a User signs up for a free or discounted trial membership, after the expiration of the free trial or discounted period, the User will be charged the price then in effect for a membership to the Service, unless otherwise provided to him or her when he or she originally joined. If a User does not want to continue with the Service after the expiration of the free or discounted trial period, the User must cancel their membership prior to the conclusion of the free trial or discounted period.
7. Third Party Processor. You hereby authorize BOULO to charge your credit card (or any other form of payment authorized by BOULO or mutually agreed to between You and BOULO) for the payments described in these Terms of Use. BOULO does not store your credit card information. Instead, it uses a secure and reputable payment processor to process credit card payments.
This Section outlines behavior that is prohibited by BOULO.
1. Non-solicitation and Non-circumvention. You agree not to use the Site or the Services for the purposes of circumventing or attempting to circumvent BOULO’s messaging tools or Services, including for the purpose of avoiding the obligation to pay any of BOULO’s fees related to its provision of the Service. You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation BOULO receives for making the Service available to You is collected as a percentage of the Talent’s payments from a Company as set forth in Section 5 above.
2. Exclusive Use of Site for Restricted Period. For twelve (12) months from the first time You identify or are identified by any User or third party through the Site in connection with a Position, You must use the Site as your exclusive method to request and perform Project and to make and receive all payments for Project, directly or indirectly, with that User or third party or arising out of your relationship with that party. This restriction does not in any way limit Talent’s ability to provide services to any other businesses or entities that are not Platform Users. You agree not to circumvent the payment methods offered by the Site.
3. Agreement to Notify BOULO. You will notify BOULO immediately if another party improperly contacts You or suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Site. You agree that You will not under any circumstances:
  1. Accept proposals from, contact, deliver services to, invoice or receive payments from parties identified through the Service other than through the Site; or
  2. Invoice or report on the Site an invoice or payment amount lower than the actually agreed project price or salary between Company and Talent through the Site.
4. Breach of Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Company breaches its obligations under this Section, and such breach results, directly or indirectly, in Talent being hired or retained (as a full-time employee or independent contractor) by Company or any of its related entities (including but not limited to subsidiaries, parents, affiliates or entities otherwise related through common ownership or control), the parties must notify BOULO immediately upon Talent’s hiring or retention, and Company shall pay a fee to BOULO, in an amount equal to 30% of Talent’s annual compensation. The parties acknowledge that the harm caused to BOULO by a breach of this Section would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate and that the fee is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from such breach. Such a breach will also disqualify the Parties from using the Platform in the future.
Independent Contractor Relationship.

2. Company’s Relationship with Talent. Company is solely responsible for determining whether a relationship between Company and Talent qualifies as an independent contractor relationship and whether a Talent qualifies as an independent contractor. BOULO shall not be responsible or liable to Company, Talent or any third party for the determination of independent contractor status or lack of such status.
3. No Materials. BOULO is not responsible for procuring the equipment, supplies or other materials used by Talent for performance of the Project.
4. No Relationship. Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee or agency relationship between the Company and BOULO or Talent and BOULO. BOULO does not in any way, directly or indirectly, control, supervise or control Talent’s work, Talent’s work hours or locations.
5. Tax Reporting. Other than BOULO’s obligation to issue 1099K forms as set forth in Section 2.2. above, BOULO has no responsibility for other tax related matters including, without limitation, determining the tax status of the relationship between Company and Talent or their tax filing obligations. BOULO is not responsible for withholding or paying any income, payroll, Social Security, or other federal, state, or local taxes, making any insurance contributions, including for unemployment or disability, or obtaining worker’s compensation insurance on Talent’s behalf.

  1. Is or becomes generally available to the public other than through a Party’s breach of these Terms of Use;
  2. Is communicated to a Party by a third party that had no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information;
  3. Was known to a Party prior to disclosure under these Terms of Use; or
  4. Is developed by a Party without use of Confidential Information.
9. Disclosure as Required by Law. Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order. A Party agrees to provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Company within 48 hours of receiving such order, but in any event sufficiently in advance of making any disclosure to permit the other Party to contest the order or seek confidentiality protections, as determined in that Party’s sole discretion.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BOULO BE LIABLE TO ANY USER OF THIS SITE OR THE PLATFORM OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THEIR USE, MISUSE, UNAUTHORIZED USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF BOULO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BOULO’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE SITE, THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR STRICT LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED COMMISSIONS RECEIVED BY BOULO DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE CLAIM WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACTS YOU WERE INVOLVED IN AS COMPANY OR TALENT.
2. IN ADDITION TO THE LIMITATIONS OF BOULO’S LIABILITY SET FORTH IN SECTION ABOVE, BOULO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO TALENT’S PERFORMANCE OF THE SCOPE OF WORK.

Indemnity.

Mandatory Arbitration. You agree that all disputes between You and BOULO (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) arising out of or relating to the Site, the Platform, these Terms of Use, the Services, and/or the Privacy Policy shall be finally resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator conducted in the English language in the State of Alabama, U.S.A. under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and You and BOULO hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You and BOULO shall appoint as sole arbitrator a person mutually agreed by You and BOULO or, if You and BOULO cannot agree within thirty (30) days of either party’s request for arbitration, such single arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA upon the request of either party. The parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this, application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BOULO shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, security or other equitable remedies from the United States District Court for a district in Jefferson County, Alabama, or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator be authorized to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use or to award punitive damages, including but not limited to pursuant to federal or state statutes permitting multiple or punitive awards. Any claims brought by a user or BOULO must be brought in the party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Neither You nor BOULO will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Use. You hereby waive any and all rights to bring any claims related to these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your relationship with BOULO.
Termination. These Terms of Use and your right to use the Site and the Platform will take effect when You access or use the Site or the Platform and is effective until terminated under these Terms of Use. BOULO reserves the right to terminate your use of this Site or the Platform at any time, without notice. In addition, BOULO reserves the right at any time and on reasonable grounds, which shall include, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraudulent or unlawful activity or actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of these Terms of Use, to deny your access to the Site, the Platform or to any portion thereof in order to protect its name and goodwill, its business, and/or other users, and these Terms of Use will also terminate automatically if You fail to comply with these Terms of Use, subject to the survival rights of certain provisions identified below. Termination will be effective without notice. You may also terminate these Terms of Use at any time by ceasing to use the Site or the Platform, but all applicable provisions of these Terms of Use will survive termination, as identified below. Upon termination, You must destroy all copies of any aspect of the Site or the Platform in your possession. In addition to the miscellaneous section below, the provisions concerning BOULO’s proprietary rights, Feedback, indemnity, disclaimers of warranty, limitation of liability, and governing law will survive the termination of these Terms of Use for any reason. All restrictions, rights granted by You and all disclaimers and limitations of liability by BOULO will survive termination. You agree to discontinue use of this Site or the Platform immediately upon your disagreement with or breach of any of these Terms of Use, as they may be amended from time to time.
Governing Law. These Terms of Use have been made in and will be construed and enforced solely in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Alabama, U.S.A. as applied to agreements entered into and completely performed in the State of Alabama. You and BOULO each agree to submit to exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue of the courts in the State of Alabama for any disputes between us under or arising out of these Terms of Use. You also agree to waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to these Terms of Use and acknowledge that either party may seek attorney’s fees in any proceeding. Any claim You might have against BOULO must be brought within two (2) years after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. You also acknowledge and agree that any applicable state law implementation of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (including any available remedies or laws) shall not apply to these Terms of Use and is hereby disclaimed. BOULO makes no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use in other locations outside the State of Alabama and access to the Site from states, territories, or nations where any aspect of the Site is illegal is prohibited. You access the Site or the Platform on your own volition and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws with respect to your access and use of the Site.

Waiver and Severability. No waiver by BOULO of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of BOULO to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Miscellaneous.
1. Breach of Terms. You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of these Terms of Use will cause irreparable injury to BOULO, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and BOULO would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that BOULO shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of these Terms of Use. The parties agree that these Terms of Use are for the benefit of the parties hereto as well as BOULO’s licensors. Accordingly, these Terms of Use are personal to You, and You may not assign your rights or obligations to any other person or entity without BOULO’s prior written consent. Failure by BOULO to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use will not operate as a waiver by BOULO of that or any subsequent default or failure of performance. If any provision (or part thereof) contained in these Terms of Use is determined to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or on account of a conflict with an applicable government regulation, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions (or parts thereof) contained in these Terms of Use and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause shall be modified in compliance with applicable law in a manner that most closely matches the intent of the original language. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between You and BOULO as result of these Terms of Use or your utilization of the Site. Headings in these Terms of Use are for convenience only. These Terms of Use, along with the BOULO’s Privacy Policy, represents the entire agreement between You and BOULO with respect to use of the Site, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between You and BOULO with respect to the Site or the Platform.
