Your use of such third party linked sites is governed by the terms and conditions, and privacy policies, of such linked sites. QMC is providing these links to you as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by QMC of such site.


8. SERVICE PROFESSIONAL PRESCREENING PROCEDURES AND DISCLAIMERS. QMC uses one or more of the following criteria as part of its service professional registration enrollment process: Licensing - QMC may confirm at the time of a service professionals registration, that the prospective new service professional member has all applicable required trade licensing. Certain states may require state-level licensing for projects above specified dollar amounts. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements with the business and the applicable state and local licensing authorities. In some states, licensing may be required by the county or local authority in which the work is being performed. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements before proceeding with your project. Larger projects often require the use of sub-contractors for specific types of work (for example, a kitchen remodel may require an electrician or plumber). We recommend you verify that all the sub-contractors doing work on your project carry the appropriate licensing. Given the unique nature of California licensing, QMC relies on representations of service professionals that are using a California General building contracting license to cover home improvement tasks and that such service professionals are performing more than one task as defined and required by California licensing rules. We always recommend that you ask the business to provide you with a copy of their license.
   
   State Business Filings - For service professionals that are corporations or limited liability companies, we may confirm that the service professional is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
   
   Criminal Records Search - QMC may use 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business, within the three years prior to such service professional's registration with QMC.
   
   Sex Offender Search – QMC may research and review, in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located, check the state's official sex offender website, to confirm that there is not a match based solely on the name of the owner/principal of the company. Please note that only a fingerprint match can guarantee an accurate match for a sex offender search. We recommend that you check the applicable state sex offender website for any individual that will be performing work in your home.
   
   Identity Verification (Social Security Number) - QMC may verify the social security number(s) of the service professional's owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
   
   Legal Search for Civil Judgments - We may use 3rd party data sources that record legal information to check the principal / owner of the business for significant state-level civil legal judgments entered against the principal / owner by business customers and for bankruptcy filings by or against the principal / owner, both within the three years prior to such service professional's registration with QMC.
   
   NOTE: QMC performs screening solely at the time the service professional applies for membership in the QMC network, and therefore a service professional's information may change or expire over time. QMC cannot and does not warrant or represent that profile and screening information is up to date. QMC is under no obligation to update a service professional's screening information, although they may verify and notify service professionals of expiring licenses and outdated information. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented in the service professional's profile, including any applicable state-level license is still accurate, current and/or acceptable to you.
   
   Service Professionals Profiles: QMC allows service professionals to post profiles about themselves and their business on the Site. QMC does not review or verify the information or representations set forth in those profiles, unless expressly set forth herein these Terms. QMC therefore makes no representations or warranties regarding any of the information posted by any service professional, and assumes no liability for such information. The above procedures may change from time to time at the sole discretion of QMC. QMC believes that it uses commercially reasonable efforts to screen these service professionals and does not make any representations or warranties that these services professionals are appropriately licensed or free of significant state-level civil legal judgments, during the period they are members, or thereafter. As circumstances can change periodically, QMC advises consumers to check these matters for themselves. QMC does not represent or warrant that the information received from state, provincial or other government agencies or from third party sources is accurate, error free, or that it is up to date or updated at the time that QMC checks 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.
   
   DISCLAIMER: QMC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED RELATING TO THE SCREENING PROCESS, CRITERIA, PROCEDURES, OR INFORMATION OBTAINED OR PRESENTED IN THE PRESCREENING PROCESS OR DISCLOSURES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, OR THAT THE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES OR STANDARDS ARE SUFFICIENT OR THAT THE INFORMATION RECEIVED IN THESE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES IS ACCURATE, TIMELY OR ERROR FREE.
   
   
9. POSTING RATINGS, REVIEWS, & COMMENTS. QMC reserves the right, but not the obligation, to refuse to post or to remove any ratings, reviews, of comments on the Site if QMC determines (in its sole discretion) that it contains or features any of the following:
   
   a. Offensive, harmful and/or abusive language, including without limitation: expletives, profanities, obscenities, harassment, vulgarities, sexually explicit language and hate speech (e.g., racist/discriminatory speech.)
   b. References to illegal activity.
   c. Reviews that do not address the goods and services of the business or reviews with no qualitative value (e.g., "work has not started yet").
   d. Language that violates the standards of good taste or the standards of this Site.
   e. Comments concerning a different Service Professional.
   f. Information not related to work requested.
   g. Statements that are or appear to be false.
   h. Comments that disparage QMC.
   
   QMC may discuss and/or contact any service professional about any ratings, reviews, and comments related to a work request. If a dispute arises between a consumer and service professional, the rating, review, or comments submitted may be held in pending status until resolution is reached.
   
   All ratings, reviews, and comments of a service professional displayed on the Site reflect the opinions of other consumers, and do not reflect or represent the opinions or representations of QMC. QMC disclaims any and all representations or warranties with regard to the ratings, reviews, or comments. Further, such ratings, reviews, or comments do not reflect the views of QMC; its parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies; or its employees, officers, directors, or shareholders. QMC does not assume responsibility or liability for any ratings, reviews, or comments or for any claims, damages, or losses resulting from any use of the Site or the materials contained therein.



10. INDEMNIFICATION. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY QMC, AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CO-BRANDERS, AND OTHER PARTNERS AND HOLD THEM EACH HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DEMANDS, INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES, MADE BY ANY THIRD PARTY DUE TO OR ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY QMC SERVICES OR YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS, OR ARISING FROM YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY.



11. GENERAL PROVISIONS. You acknowledge and agree that the Site and any and all QMC services are provided to you on an "AS IS" basis without any warranty whatsoever, and your sole and exclusive remedy, and QMC's sole obligation to you or any third party for any claim arising out of your use of the Site or any QMC services, is that you are free to discontinue your use of the Site or any QMC services at any time. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, QMC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND YOU AGREE THAT QMC SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT), EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (EVEN IF QMC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CONSEQUENCES WHICH FLOW FROM IT. SOME STATES AND PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON OR EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN SUCH STATES AND PROVINCES, THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. These Terms will inure to the benefit of QMC's successors, assigns and licensees.



12. If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, for any reason, by any court of competent jurisdiction that provision shall be modified in order to make it enforceable, while maintaining the spirit of the provision. Alternatively, if modification is not possible, such provision shall be stricken and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms. The failure of QMC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, the QMC services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Virginia. Further, You agree to submit to jurisdiction in Virginia and that any claim arising out of or related to your use of the Site, the QMC services, or these Terms will be brought solely in a court in Loudoun County, Virginia. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and QMC and supersede all oral and written negotiations or representations of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. These Terms may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement signed by both parties.

   j. Manager Accounts (if applicable): If you elect, and are eligible, to become a Manager Account, and you both meet the QMC requirements and are approved by QMC, you may assign a Lead (that you do not personally take and contact) to a single designated employee or agent such as a sub-contractor or agent working under your direct supervision (a "Sub-Account Agent"), which Sub-Account Agent must be registered and approved as a Service Provider in our system prior to being eligible to receive any Leads. You may assign a Lead to only one Sub-Account Agent, such that only one of your Sub-Account Agents (and not you, except for the sole purpose of introducing the Sub-Account Agent to the customer) will ever contact the customer relating to such Lead. You, as Manager, are not allowed to contact a Lead and then transfer the Lead to a Sub-Account Agent, or transfer the Lead to a Sub-Account Agent and then separately contact the Lead (for example to re-pitch, retrieve or try to salvage the customer). Any Sub-Account agent that receives a Lead from a Manager Account may not transfer, sell, share or distribute such Lead in any way to any other parties whatsoever, including but not limited to office-mates or any other Sub-Account agents working with or for the same or other Manager Accounts, or back to the Manager Account (and you, as Manager, agree to insure that Sub-Account Agents comply with this restriction). You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are liable for all of the actions, and failures to act, of your Sub-Account Agents, including any misuse by your Sub-Account Agents of a Lead (i.e. sale, unauthorized transfer, exchange, disclosure of confidential user information to a third party), and any breach of this Agreement by your Sub-Account Agents shall entitle us, in addition to our right to terminate this Agreement and any of your Sub-Agent Accounts, to seek damages (including without limitation any attorney's fees, court costs, expenses, and interest) from you, including but not limited to injunctive relief and any damages incurred due to any breach of a customer's privacy. In addition, your indemnification obligations under this Agreement apply to the acts, or failures to act, of your Sub-Account Agents, as if such acts, or failures to act, had been committed by you.
   
   k. In addition to all of the other terms and conditions herein, Service Providers using QMC's services (not available in Canada) also agree to the following: (i) Service Provider hereby represents and warrants that the information provided by Service Provider in their profile is, and shall at all times be, maintained in an accurate, up-to-date and professional manner, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; (ii) Service Provider hereby agrees that it hereby has automatically pre-accepted any Leads provided to it by QMC; (iii) Service Provider hereby agrees to pay for any and all Leads, in accordance with the then current QMC fee schedule; (iv) QMC may provide Service Provider's phone number to any customer requesting to be connected to the Service Provider; (v) Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that not all consumers calling the Service Provider will be directed to Service Provider for reasons including, but not limited to the consumer's request not matching the Service Provider's profile, Service Provider's account being on hold or no longer being a member of the QMC network, or the Service Provider not having any available funds in their account. In such event, QMC may direct consumers to any other Service Provider; (vi) Service Provider hereby authorizes QMC to take any and all actions necessary to generate click-throughs which might generate Leads for the Service Provider including contracting with search engines, Internet directories, and other online and offline advertising sources and making the representations herein on behalf of Service Provider to such third parties, and (vii) Service Provider authorizes QMC to use, copy, reproduce, and sublicense Service Provider's contact information, Service Provider's profile, and any content on or within the Service Provider's profile including any information on your profile page in furtherance of the foregoing.

ATTACHMENT A

Pricing Plan
You will purchase the rights to receive Leads in a given territory, zip code or collection of zip codes. The rights to receive such Leads may be exclusive or non-exclusive as solely determined by QMC. The minimum price for each territory or zip code shall be as indicated below. You and other Service Providers will be able to bid over the minimum amount on winning the rights to a territory with the top bids winning the territory for the time period bid upon (typically a month).

You determine the number of territories and the amount you are willing to spend on each territory to obtain the rights to such territory. If you are not the top bidder you may not receive Leads for that territory and will not be charged for that territory. You agree to, and are obligated to, pay the amount bid on any territory for which you win.

The Leads are intended to contain the information provided by the customer regarding their instant quote, their service need as well as the customer's contact information allowing you to immediately contact the customer. You acknowledge and agree that QMC does not guarantee that we will deliver a determined number of Leads, nor will we be liable to you for any shortfall. You agree to pay for all territories as properly specified by you in your QMC profile.

Territory / Zip Code Minimum: $20.00 per month, unless otherwise specified.
