These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you the User, as may be applicable as provided below, and Minzo LLC, including without limitation, its managers, members, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “Minzo,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of the Minzo technology platform (the “Minzo App”).
By accessing or using the Minzo App provided by Minzo, or any of our subsidiaries or other affiliates that link to this Agreement, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Minzo App. Any terms not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the agreement between us and the entity through which you have been provided access to the Minzo App. By clicking on the acceptance button that follows these Terms, you indicate acceptance of these Terms.
The Minzo App provides a marketplace where persons who seek automobile maintenance or repair services (“Customers”) can be matched with service providers who may be able to deliver such maintenance or repair services (“Providers”). Customers and Providers are individually referred to herein as “User” and collectively as “Users,” and the services provided by Providers to Customers shall be referred to herein as “Auto Services.” As a Customer, you authorize Minzo to match you with a Provider based on factors such as your location, the estimated time to deliver the Auto Services, your desired services, user preferences, and the Minzo App’s efficiency. You also authorize us to cancel an existing match and/or rematch based on such similar considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Auto Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. Auto Services provided by a Provider to a Customer shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.
You are hereby granted a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to access and use the Minzo App and its content.

Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including, without limitation, copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated by us, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any right or license to any patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights or content of Minzo or any third party, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Minzo App or its content, a third party device through which you may access the Minzo App may include software components provided by Minzo or a third party that are subject to separate license terms, in which case those license terms will govern such software components. You are solely responsible for all data and telecommunications charges incurred with your use of the Minzo App.
Minzo reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time, at our sole discretion. Continued use of the Minzo App or any of our services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. Minzo reserves the right to modify any information on pages referenced in the hyperlinks from this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications shall become effective upon posting. Unless material changes are made to the arbitration provisions herein, you agree that modification of this Agreement does not create a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration (if applicable).

As a User, you understand that the request or use of Auto Services may result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges for Auto Services include fees for services provided, payment processing fees and other applicable surcharges and taxes, plus any tips to the Provider that Customer elects to pay. Minzo has the authority to, and reserves the right to, determine and modify pricing at any time prior to Customer making a request to Provider for Auto Services. Pricing may vary based on, including but not limited to, the type of service you request and vehicle for which such services are requested. You are responsible for confirming the applicable price quote with the Provider prior to receiving the requested Auto Services, and you shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. It is the User’s responsibility to confirm any and all Charges.
Fees
There are different types of fees you will be responsible for paying, including, but not limited to, the following:
Variable Fees.
“Variable Fees” consist of a base charge and additional charges based on the difficulty and duration of your Auto Service. For particularly easy services, minimum fees may apply.
Quoted Fees.
In some cases Provider may provide you a “Quoted Fee at the time of your request, which is a fee that is subject to change until the auto service request is confirmed and completed. If during your waiting period you change your requested service, request multiple services, or abuse or attempt to abuse Provider quotes or the Minzo App, Provider or Minzo may cancel the Quoted Fee and charge you a Variable Fee based on the difficulty and duration of the requested services. Minzo does not guarantee that any Quoted Fee that may be provided by any Provider will be equal to a variable fee for the same service. Quoted Fees may include the Fees and Other Charges below, as applicable.
Payment Processing Fees.
Customers are responsible for paying all payment processing fees charged by Stripe under the Minzo App. Although the Minzo App provides a marketplace where Customers can be matched with Providers for Auto Services, any applicable fees charged electronically to Customer by Provider under the Minzo App, is processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. Minzo does not represent or warrant any of Stripe’s services or products or any other third payment processor under the Minzo App.
Late Cancellation Fees.
Customers are subject to automatic “Late Cancellation Fees”. How much and when Late Cancellation Fees apply will vary but any cancellations within 24 hours of the confirmed service appointment date and time will automatically be assessed a Late Cancellation Fee of at least $5 to Customer. Customers are responsible for contacting Providers in advance for any cancellations.
No Show Fees.
Customers are subject to automatic “No Show Fees.” Customers who fail to be present and ready to have their vehicles serviced according to the confirmed service appointment date and time will automatically be assessed a No Show Fee of at least $5 to Customer. Customers are responsible for contacting Providers in advance for any cancellations.

These Terms and your access to and use of the Minzo App shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to choice of law (or conflict of law) rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California, provided that we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect our Content or other intellectual property in any court of competent jurisdiction. This choice of law provision is only intended to specify the use of California law to interpret this Agreement and is not intended to create any other substantive right to non- Californians to assert claims under California law whether by statute, common law, or otherwise. We each agree to waive all right to a jury trial in connection with any matters covered by these Terms.
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your right to access or use the Minzo App and to order, receive and use the Minzo App, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event. In the event of termination, regardless of cause, you agree to immediately delete your account, remove the Minzo App from your device and cease all use of the Minzo App as well as any offering or hiring of services between User and Provider that arose as a result of coming into contact with the other party through the use of the Minzo App. We may unilaterally implement security protocols to delete your account and/or disable the Minzo App. You agree that your access to the Minzo App or any account you may have or portion thereof may be terminated without prior notice, in addition to any other remedies Minzo may have at law or in equity, and you agree that Minzo is not liable to you or any third party for any such termination. If we are required to provide notice of termination or cancellation, we may give prior or subsequent notice by posting it on the Minzo App or by sending notice to any address that we have for you in our records. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, your only remedy with respect to any dissatisfaction with (i) the Minzo App, (ii) any of these Terms (iii) any policy or practice of Minzo in operating the Minzo App, or (iv) any content or information transmitted through the Minzo App, is to cease use of the Minzo App and remove it from your device.
This Agreement is effective upon your creation of a User account. This Agreement may be terminated: a) by User, without cause, upon seven (7) days’ prior written notice to Minzo; or b) by either party immediately, without notice, upon the other party’s material breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to any breach of Section 10 or breach of Section 11(a) through (h) of this Agreement. In addition, Minzo may terminate this Agreement or deactivate your User or Provider account immediately in the event: (1) you no longer qualify to provide services or to provide the approved services under applicable law, rule, permit, ordinance or regulation; (2) you fall below Minzo’s star rating or cancellation threshold; (3) Minzo has the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect the safety of the Minzo community or third parties, provided that in the event of a deactivation pursuant to (1)-(3) above, you will be given notice of the potential or actual deactivation and an opportunity to attempt to cure the issue to Minzo’s reasonable satisfaction prior to Minzo permanently terminating the Agreement. For all other breaches of this Agreement, you will be provided notice and an opportunity to cure the breach. If the breach is cured in a timely manner and to Minzo’s satisfaction, this Agreement will not be permanently terminated. Sections 3, 7, 8 (with respect to the license), 1, 10-13, 19, 21-29, and 31 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.
The following sections will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your account: all defined terms and Sections 1, 3, 7, 8, 10-13, 19, 21-29 (including this section 27), and 31.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Minzo relating to your access to and use of the Minzo App. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Minzo. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Minzo’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. We have agreed that the language of these Terms shall be English.
You agree that this Agreement and all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by Minzo, in our sole discretion by providing notice to you. Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices to Minzo shall be given by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested to Northwest Registered Agent Service Inc. 30 N. Gould St. Suite N, Sheridan, WY 82801. Any notices to you shall be provided to you through the Minzo App or given to you via the email address or physical address you provide to Minzo during the registration process.

A party’s failure to act with respect to a breach by the other party does not constitute a waiver of the party’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

As a Provider on the Minzo App, you acknowledge and agree that you and Minzo are in a direct business relationship, and the relationship between the parties under this Agreement is solely that of independent contracting parties. You and Minzo expressly agree that (1) this is not an employment agreement and does not create an employment relationship between you and Minzo; and (2) no joint venture, franchisor- franchisee, partnership, or agesncy relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to choice of law principles. This choice of law provision is only intended to specify the use of California law to interpret this Agreement and is not intended to create any other substantive right to non-Californians to assert claims under California law whether by statute, common law, or otherwise. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or non- binding, the parties shall remain bound by all other provisions of this Agreement. In that event, the parties shall replace the invalid or non-binding provision with provisions that are valid and binding and that have, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the invalid or non-binding provision, given the contents and purpose of this Agreement.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH MINZO AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
You and Minzo mutually agree to waive our respective rights to resolution of disputes in a court of law by a judge or jury and agree to resolve any dispute by arbitration, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives after the Agreement terminates or your relationship with Minzo ends. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Minzo, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors and assigns, and each of our respective manager, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, or shareholders. This Arbitration Agreement also applies to claims between you and Minzo’s service providers, including but not limited to background check providers and payment processors; and such service providers shall be considered intended third party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH MINZO, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST MINZO IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any Claim or any particular remedy for a Claim (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that Claim or particular remedy (and only that Claim or particular remedy) shall be severed from any remaining claims and/or remedies and may be brought in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims or remedies to the fullest extent possible.
Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) (the “AAA Rules”) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. The parties may select a different arbitration administrator upon mutual written agreement.
As part of the arbitration, both you and Minzo will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users and Providers, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Users and Providers to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Arbitration Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (1) you and Minzo agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under the California PAGA, both you and Minzo agree that any such dispute shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “representative PAGA Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of this representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the parties agree that litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Minzo. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and Minzo.
YOU AND MINZO WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and the Minzo are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in section 12(a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
YOU AND MINZO AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR PROVIDER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor Minzo is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in this Agreement.
In addition to the severability provisions in subsections (b) and (c) above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
