These Terms and Conditions and any Applicable CareLuLu Terms of Use (as defined below), which are incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the "Agreement"), contain all of the terms and conditions between CareLuLu, Inc. ("CareLuLu") and you as a Commercial Provider (as defined below) and govern your participation in the CareLuLu Commercial Provider Referral Program described herein (the "Referral Program") offered on the CareLuLu website (the "Site"). By enrolling as a Commercial Provider on the Site, You hereby represent, warrant, understand, and accept all terms and conditions contained herein as well as any terms and conditions in the CareLuLu Terms of Use relating explicitly to Commercial Providers (the "Applicable CareLuLu Terms of Use"). The terms and conditions of this Agreement are subject to change by CareLuLu at any time, effective upon posting on the Site, and your participation in the Referral Program after such posting will constitute acceptance by you of such changes. As part of its service, CareLuLu maintains certain information from approved business child care providers and schools ("Commercial Providers" or "You") and provides that information to interested users ("Users") of the Site. Users have the ability, at their option, to request information about You or Your services via the method or methods offered on the Site, which may include completing a request for information on the Site, which CareLuLu will then email to You, completing a request for scheduling a tour on the Site, which CareLuLu will then email to You, calling You via a phone number posted on our Site and/or other methods as determined by CareLuLu and agreed to by You (collectively, "Referrals").
1. Listing
The Listing. By enrolling as a Commercial Provider, You authorize CareLuLu to publish certain information ("Content") about You, submitted by You in the enrollment process or thereafter, on the Site in the form of a listing ("Listing"). CareLuLu reserves the right to refuse any request for a Listing or to cancel any Listing for any reason, including but not limited to the failure to fulfill the obligations set forth in this Agreement, or for no reason. By submitting Content to the Site You automatically grant, and You represent and warrant that You have the right to grant to CareLuLu, during the term of this relationship, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, license to use, display, reproduce, modify and distribute such Content and to prepare derivative works of such Content, and to grant and authorize sub-licenses of the foregoing, in each case: (i) for the purposes of identifying You to Users, or otherwise fulfilling CareLuLu's obligations hereunder, (ii) to promote and market the Site and Your representation thereon, and (iii) for purposes otherwise expressly approved in advance, in writing, by You. You further represent and warrant that public posting and use of Your Content by CareLuLu will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.
Listing Contents. The Listing will contain information You provide to CareLuLu. You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about Your business and Your products/services. Failure to provide information in such manner may result in CareLuLu suspending or terminating Your Listing. CareLuLu reserves the right to change the style, form, content and appearance of the Site at any time. You agree to maintain the accuracy of information contained in Your Listing. If any information included in your Listing is or becomes inaccurate, you will promptly update Your Listing and notify CareLuLu. The Listing and any changes thereto are subject to approval by CareLuLu. Certain changes that You make to Your Listing may require review by CareLuLu prior to posting, which review will be performed within ten (10) business days of submission. If such changes are approved, they will be promptly reflected in your Listing. If they are declined, CareLuLu will notify you as to the reason for the rejection and provide You an opportunity to revise and re-submit them.
Use of Listing Contents. All content created by CareLuLu to describe Your business and Your product/services cannot be used by You. This includes but is not limited to photographs, reviews, graphics or any other intellectual property developed by CareLuLu under this Agreement. You may not use these contents anywhere online (Your website or other third party websites) or offline (Your printed materials or third party printed materials.)

2. Responsibilities
CareLuLu Responsibilities with Respect to Referrals. After publication of the Listing on the Site, CareLuLu will forward to You requests for information or request for scheduling a tour completed on the Site ("referrals") and will track any other requests made by Users to the extent CareLuLu has the means to do so. The number of referrals that will be forwarded will depend on the type of Listing You have.
Commercial Provider Responsibilities with Respect to Referrals. You agree to respond to all referrals as soon as possible, but in any event no more than two (2) business days after receipt. You agree to utilize referrals solely for purposes directly related to fulfilling or responding to them. Without limiting the foregoing, You agree not to distribute or re-sell any referrals information whatsoever to any third party without the express consent of the User or to utilize any referrals for purposes of cross-selling products and services not sold by You. Further, You agree to comply with all applicable privacy, marketing and other laws and regulations in connection with Your handling and use of referrals information, including without limitation any and all obligations under the CAN-SPAM Act of 2006 (CAN-SPAM), and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA). To the extent You are responsible for tracking certain referrals, You agree to accurately track such referrals and to report to CareLuLu all activity related to them on a monthly basis. You agree to adhere to the substance and spirit of the following Code of Conduct provisions:
• You will honestly and accurately represent Your products and services, and accreditations (if any) to Users.
• You will interact with Users in a polite, professional manner, limiting the number of calls-per-day within reasonable standards, calling during normal household hours.
Other. CareLuLu is not responsible for any failure to receive referrals due to spam filters, address-book filters, filters imposed by internet service providers, or failure on the part of Your communications vendors to deliver the referrals without any negligence on the part of CareLuLu. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, CareLuLu shall have the right to withhold the forwarding of any referrals information to You for any reason in its sole discretion, provided that You will be charged only for those referrals that are actually forwarded or directed to You.
3. Fees
Fees. During the enrollment process, You can choose a Free Listing or a Premium Listing. If You select a Premium Listing during the enrollment process (or upgrade from a Free Listing to a Premium Listing), You agree to pay fees to CareLuLu at a set rate regardless of the number of referrals you receive ("Set Fees"), plus any applicable sales or other taxes. The Set Fees, plus any applicable sales or other taxes, are also referred to in this Agreement as the "Fees". By completing and submitting the information in the enrollment process, You authorize CareLuLu to compute and charge to Your credit card for the Fees You agreed to during the enrollment process. If You have agreed to pay Set Fees, You agree that CareLuLu will charge you upfront for the total fee for the subscription term You select, unless otherwise agreed to by You and CareLuLu. You also agree that CareLuLu will automatically renew your subscription at the end of each subscription term, and charge your credit card upfront for the total current fee for that subscription term, unless You have canceled Your subscription before the end of Your prior subscription term. You may pause or cancel Your participation in the Referral Program at any time in accordance with the procedures established by CareLuLu from time-to-time to pause or cancel Your participation. However, if You cancel or pause Your participation, You will not be entitled to a refund of any Set Fees You previously paid or continue to owe CareLuLu. CareLuLu reserves the right to change Fee prices at any time provided that CareLuLu will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice to You, via an email communication sent to the email address on file in your account profile, before any price change goes into effect.
Refund/Credit Procedure. If You have agreed to pay Set Fees and CareLuLu terminates Your participation in the Referral Program without cause during a subscription period, You will be entitled to a pro-rata refund of the Set Fees You paid for that subscription period based on the amount of time remaining in the period. In all other instances, Set Fees paid to CareLuLu are final and nonrefundable.
Failure to Pay. In the event of non-payment, CareLuLu reserves the right to suspend or terminate Your account until such charges are paid. CareLuLu may also charge interest on undisputed balances unpaid for more than thirty (30) days, in which case interest charges will accrue from the 31st day with respect to any unpaid, undisputed amount at a rate of 1% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is lower. CareLuLu shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs of collection (including agency fees, attorneys' fees, expenses and costs) incurred in attempting to collect payments from You.
4. Use of Marks
Commercial Provider Marks. You hereby grant to CareLuLu an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, right and license during the term of this relationship, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to use Your logo(s), tradename(s) or trademark(s) (the "Marks") or those of Your affiliates, (i) for the purposes of identifying You to Users, identifying You on the applicable service category pages of the Site, or otherwise fulfilling CareLuLu's obligations hereunder, (ii) to promote and market the Site and Your representation thereon, and (iii) for purposes otherwise expressly approved in advance, in writing, by You. You further represent and warrant that CareLuLu's use of your Marks in accordance with these terms will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.
General. Neither party may represent or imply to a User or other third party that it is acting on behalf of the other party hereto or that the other party hereto has approved or endorsed its products or services. All goodwill associated with use of Your Marks shall inure to the benefit of You and/or Your affiliate(s), as applicable.
5. Term and Termination
If you have agreed to pay Set Fees, You agree that Your subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as Your original subscription unless You cancel Your subscription before the end of Your current subscription term. You and CareLuLu each reserve the right to terminate the relationship with the other party at any time for any reason or no reason upon two (2) business days' notice to the other party. In the event of termination by either party any payments due from either party to the other party will be made immediately. Each party reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party in the event the other party should commit or otherwise become associated with, for any reason, any act that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the reputation or public image of the terminating party. CareLuLu reserves the right to send a notice of such termination to Users with whom CareLuLu has reason to believe you have corresponded.
6. Indemnification
By agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CareLuLu and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, representatives and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses or demands of liability, including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by them in connection with any claim by a third party (including an intellectual property claim) arising out of: (i) any breach by You of Your obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any willful misconduct or negligent act, omission or misrepresentation by You, Your agents or Your employees, (iii) any violation by You of any federal, state or local, law, rule or regulation, (iv) any disputes between You and any User, or (v) the violation or alleged violation of third-party intellectual property rights or proprietary rights by any Listing or other materials and content you submit, post or transmit through the Site or otherwise provide to CareLuLu for inclusion on the Site.

DISCLAIMERS.

Thus, CareLuLu has no control over the interest or ability of Users to purchase items or pay for services or the suitability of any User for Your items or services. CareLuLu cannot and does not control whether or not Users will complete the purchase of services for which they have requested information.
