Instead, Papa enables Papa Pals, which are independent contractors, to provide services to Clients. Although Papa performs certain background screenings on Papa Pals and applicants, neither Papa, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, assumes any responsibility for any of the acts or omissions of any Papa Pal or Client, such as property damage or bodily injury that may result in connection with the services a Papa Pals may perform for a Client.

Third Party Applications
In certain situations, Papa acts as a conduit between members of the Service and third-party ride-sharing apps like Lyft or Uber, as well as third-party food and grocery delivery apps. In such situations, you authorize Papa to act on your behalf to communicate with the designated driver, delivery person, and service (via voice, text message or email) to vet them and their equipment to make sure they and their vehicles meet your transportation or food/grocery delivery requirements and specifications, and to aid in locating your position for the driver or delivery person, and to advise the driver or delivery person to correct his course if required, to suggest (or approve or disapprove) alternate items or groceries associated with your order for food or groceries, or for any other reason Papa deems appropriate. You further authorize Papa as your agent and on your behalf, to order groceries, to order food, to select and approve (or disapprove) alternate groceries and food, to monitor your complete ride from start to finish and if Papa deems it appropriate, to communicate with the designated driver or you to make sure the designated driver is meeting your specified conditions and requirements. During this phase of the ride, you authorize Papa to communicate with persons you designate to let them know the initiation, progress and conclusion or your ride.
Papa is not responsible for the services provided by any third-party application. If you decide to use any third-party application service, including in connection with Papa, you do this entirely at your own risk. Papa will not vet foods or groceries to ensure they are safe or otherwise consistent with any health, allergy, religious, or other dietary requirement, and you are solely responsible for ensuring the safety of any food or groceries you receive from any third-party service (even if delivery and ordering are coordinated through Papa). Papa makes no representation or warranty as to any third-party application, products, or services, and you agree that Papa shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such third-party application, products, or services made available to you by Papa solely for your convenience. We recommend you review the terms and policies of any third-party applications prior to your use of or access to the same.
Payment Terms and Fees
Certain features of the Service, including, without limitation, subscribing to a membership or the placing or receipt of service orders, may require you to make certain payments, including commissions or other fees. Any fees that Papa may charge you for your use of or access to the Service are due immediately when charged by Papa and are non-refundable. This no refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your usage, our decision to terminate your usage, disruption caused to our Service either planned, accidental or intentional, or any reason whatsoever. Papa reserves the right to determine and change any payment term, rate, mechanism, or structure at any time with notice to you. Papa, in its sole discretion, may offer credits or refunds on a case-by-case basis.
Fees will be displayed in United States Dollars. By confirming your purchase at the end of the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay the fees as well as all applicable taxes and currency conversion fees.
Papa may from time to time offer special promotions or offers. Promotional codes, discounts, and offers (“Promotions”) are limited in nature and may expire or be discontinued with or without notice. Promotions are void where prohibited by law. Promotions may not be copied, sold, or otherwise transferred. They are not redeemable for cash and are subject to cancellation or change at any time for any reason without notice. We reserve the right in our discretion to impose conditions on the offering of any Promotions. Other Promotions, including sweepstakes, contests, raffles, surveys, or games, may be governed by rules that are separate from or supplement these Terms. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules. If the specific rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will govern.
Papa may use third party services to process payments, such as Stripe, which have their own separate terms of service. While Papa will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all payment information such as credit cards or bank account numbers, Papa expressly disclaims any liability for any damage that may result should any third parties gain access to such information, and you agree to hold Papa harmless for any damages that may result therefrom.
You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any credit card or other means of payment that you provide to us. All billing information you provide to us must be current, complete, truthful, and accurate. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers, and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. Providing any untruthful or inaccurate information is a breach of these Terms and may result in the cancellation of your order. Prior to accepting an order, we may also request additional information from you. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason including limitations on availability, inaccuracies, or errors in service or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. If your order is canceled after your credit card (or other payment account) has been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card (or other applicable payment account) in the amount of the charge. We will attempt to contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Papa may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or credit card issuer may apply.
If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
Termination and Suspension
Papa may terminate or suspend your right to use the Service at any time and for any reason. Without limitation, Papa may terminate or suspend your right to use the Service at its sole discretion, without refunding any unused fees or credit on your account, if you violate any term of this Agreement or any policy of Papa posted on the Service, or if Papa otherwise finds that you have engaged in unlawful or inappropriate behavior in connection with your use of the Service. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, Papa reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress. Even after your right to use the Service is terminated or suspended, this Agreement will remain enforceable against you regarding your prior use of the Service.

Message and data rates may apply. For help regarding the communications, we exchange with you using your phone number, contact us directly.

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if a single notification covers multiple copyrighted works at a single online site, a representative list of such works at that site, including citation to the applicable copyright registrations where available;
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Papa to locate the material, including a timestamp and visible identification of the material in a screenshot or comparable medium, with all metadata intact, as well as a hyperlink or URL to the website or online content at issue;

All other claims shall be arbitrated.
