NESTLING

Nestling is an online care marketplace for care workers, providing postpartum and infant care education and more. Through the Nestling Care LLC Services, parents (each an “Employer”) can find available postpartum and infant care workers (“Caregivers”) who meet their skills criteria and arrange to interview and hire such Caregivers; and Caregivers can update their skillsets and other information for consideration by potential Employers.

We may also change, update, add or remove provisions of these Terms from time to time. We will inform you of any modifications to these Terms by posting them on the Websites and in the Mobile Applications(as applicable) and, if you have registered with us, by describing the modifications to these Terms in an email that we will send to the address associated with your account. To be sure we properly reach your email inbox, we just ask that you let us know if your preferred email address changes at any time after your registration.

If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Nestling Care LLC Services. Continued use of Nestling following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications. Also, please know that these Terms may be superseded by expressly-designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of the Websites or in the Mobile Application or on the sites of our partners. Such expressly-designated legal notices or terms are incorporated into these Terms and supersede the provision(s) of these Terms that are designated as being superseded.

USING THE SERVICES.

Nestling Care LLC Accounts

You need not register with us to simply visit and view the Websites.  However, in order to access password-restricted areas of the Websites and to use the Services, you must have registered for an account with us and that account must have been granted access to use the Nestling Services. If you are registering as an Employer you will be required to agree to and sign our services agreement for Employers (the “Ancillary Agreement”) before being permitted to use the Services to learn about and contact Caregivers who are potential matches for your needs.   For so long as you use the account, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information which can be accomplished by logging into your account and making relevant changes directly in your Profile.

You are responsible for complying with these Terms and the terms of any applicable Ancillary Agreement when you access and use Nestling Services.  Because it is your account, it is your responsibility to obtain and maintain all equipment and services needed for you to access to and use Nestling as well as paying related charges.  It is also your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your password.  Should you believe your password or security for Nestling has been breached in any way, you must immediately notify us.

Using Nestling Services

Caregivers: Caregivers may use Nestling to use our education materials and tools, and to submit information about themselves for consideration by potential employers.  If you are a match with an Employer, that employer may contact you through Nestling to schedule interviews or learn more about you, but you may not be able to see your potential matches until they choose to contact you.

Employers: Employers may use Nestling to be matched with Caregivers that have the skills and availability they seek and may contact potential matches through the Services.  By using the Nestling Care LLC Service, you agree that you will not attempt to use the Services for purposes of hiring (or encouraging others to hire) Caregivers other than through Nestling.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS.

By using Nestling (or any part thereof), you consent to receiving electronic communications from us (including, if you have opted in, via text message) and from other users of the Services.  These electronic communications may include communications from potential employers and notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information and other information concerning or related to Nestling Services.  These electronic communications are part of your relationship with us.  You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.  Standard carrier data charges may apply to your use of text messaging and you are solely responsible for such charges.

PRIVACY POLICY.

We respect the information that you provide to us, and want to be sure you fully understand exactly how we use that information.  So, please review our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), https://www.getnestling.com/privacy-policy/, which explains how we collect and use such information.

We think links are convenient, and we sometimes provide links on Nestling to third-party websites.  If you use these links, you will leave Nestling. We are not obligated to review any third-party websites that you link to from Nestling, we do not control any of the third-party websites, and we are not responsible for any of the third-party websites (or the products, services, or content available through any of them). Thus, unless specifically stated elsewhere on Nestling, we do not endorse or make any representations about such third-party websites, any information, software, products, services, or materials found there or any results that may be obtained from using them.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Please read the following Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) carefully.  It affects your rights.

Please read this Provision carefully.It provides that all Disputes (as defined below) between you and Nestling Care LLC shall be resolved by binding arbitration.  Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution and replaces the right to go to court.  In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).  Except as otherwise provided, entering into these Terms constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury.  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).

For purposes of this Provision, “Nestling Care LLC” means Nestling Care LLC and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.  The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Nestling Care LLC regarding, arising out of or relating to any aspect of your relationship with Nestling Care LLC, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below).  “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as Nestling Care LLC’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

YOU AND NESTLING CARE LLC EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Nestling Care LLC an opportunity to resolve the Dispute.  You must commence this process by emailing us written notification to hello@getnestling.com.  That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek.  If Nestling Care LLC does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.  You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, you or Nestling Care LLC may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”).  You may opt out of this Provision by emailing us a written notification to hello@getnestling.com.  Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Nestling Care LLC through arbitration.  Your decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Nestling Care LLC. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and Nestling Care LLC specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you.Neither you, nor any other user of Nestling Care LLC Services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

No Judge or Jury in Arbitration

Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury.  You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms you and Nestling Care LLC are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court.  In the absence of this Provision, you and Nestling Care LLC might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions).  Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived.  Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect.  If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with Nestling Care LLC or its affiliates.  Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Nestling Care LLC agree that if Nestling Care LLC makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Nestling Care LLC to adhere to the present language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.

General.

We prefer to advise you, if we feel you are not complying with these Terms and to recommend any necessary corrective action.  However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by us, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Nestling Care LLC Service without prior notice to you.  The Federal Arbitration Act, Delaware state law and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms.  Foreign laws do not apply.  The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms.  Except for Disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or the Nestling Care LLC Services will be heard in the courts located in Delaware.  If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified.  Our failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term.  These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Nestling Care LLC and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and Nestling Care LLC about the Nestling Care LLC Services.  The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
