Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Mr. Green's Agency List ("Company", "we", "us", "our"). They govern your access to and use of the websites, applications, and services we operate under the Mr. Green's Agency List name (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is currently offered as a free founding beta. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

3. Your account

4. The Service is a platform — not an employer, not a staffing agency, not a party to bookings

The Service is a directory and communication tool. We are not an employer, staffing agency, talent agent, recruiter, manager, fiduciary, or party to any engagement, booking, hire, contract, or transaction between users. We do not employ, supervise, direct, control, screen, vet, endorse, guarantee, or insure any user, agency, talent, company, or third party listed on or using the Service.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Service only for its intended purposes and in compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Acceptable Use Policy covers identity and impersonation, content and IP, harassment and discrimination, reviews and endorsements, spam and scraping, payment and scam conduct, and legal compliance. A violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is a violation of these Terms.

6. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you submit, post, or transmit through the Service ("User Content"), including profile text, photos, videos, audio, résumés, work history, job posts, applications, reviews, endorsements, messages, and uploaded media.

License you grant us. By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only as necessary for formatting, resizing, and display), create derivative works of, publish, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and otherwise use the User Content solely for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, marketing, and promoting the Service. This license continues for as long as the User Content remains on the Service and for a reasonable wind-down period after deletion to allow backups and caches to expire. Aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from User Content may be retained indefinitely.

Your representations. You represent and warrant that, for every piece of User Content you submit:

7. Reviews, endorsements, and ratings

Detailed rules for reviews, endorsements, and ratings are in the Reviews section of our Acceptable Use Policy. Reviews and endorsements are the opinions of the user who submitted them, not statements of fact by us; we do not endorse, verify, or guarantee any review or endorsement. We may remove, edit, label, or refuse to publish any review or endorsement that, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or our moderation standards.

8. Third-party content and Section 230

The Service hosts content created by users. We are an interactive computer service under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230. We do not author or originate User Content. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any User Content or for any decision to remove, restrict, or refuse to publish any User Content. Moderation decisions are made in good faith and are not a warranty that User Content meets any standard.

9. Copyright — DMCA notice and takedown

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").

If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

Copyright contact: Send copyright notices to support@mrgreenagencylist.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice." We may request additional contact information if needed to process a notice or counter-notice. A formal designated DMCA agent and public mailing address may be added after entity setup is complete.

Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

10. Paid features and refunds

The current founding beta is free. Paid subscriptions and one-time paid features are not available until pricing, tax, billing, refund, and final legal setup are complete. If paid features are introduced later, pricing, billing frequency, taxes, cancellation, and refund terms will be governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We expect to use Stripe to process payments when paid features launch; your use of any future payment flow will also be subject to Stripe's terms.

11. Suspension and termination

12. Disclaimers — Service provided "AS IS"

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or harmful components; (b) any User Content is accurate, complete, current, lawful, or non-infringing; (c) any user is who they claim to be, is qualified, or will perform any obligation; (d) any defects will be corrected; or (e) any outcome — including bookings, hires, payment, or reputational results — will be achieved.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and successors (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any law or third-party right (including any right of privacy, publicity, or intellectual property right); (e) any engagement, hire, booking, payment, or other arrangement you enter into with any other user or third party in connection with the Service; or (f) any dispute between you and another user. We may, at our option, assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with our defense.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, THESE TERMS, OR ANY USER OR USER CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).

These limitations apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Section 14 is a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and us.

15. Mandatory arbitration and class action waiver

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.1 Agreement to arbitrate. You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, your account, or any User Content (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Section 15. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

15.2 Exceptions. Either party may bring (a) an individual action in small-claims court for any Dispute within that court's jurisdiction, and (b) an action in court seeking only injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use of the Service or infringement of intellectual-property rights.

15.3 Class action waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding.

15.4 Procedure. Before initiating arbitration, the complaining party must send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party describing the claim and proposed resolution, and the parties must attempt to resolve the Dispute informally for at least 60 days. Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, or by video conference at your election. The arbitrator's award is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.5 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written opt-out notice to support@mrgreenagencylist.com (subject line: "Arbitration Opt-Out") within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your full name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

15.6 Severability. If the class-action waiver in Section 15.3 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will be severed from the arbitration and brought in court, but the remainder of this Section 15 will continue to apply.

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 15. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (by email or in-product notice) before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.
