Terms & Conditions

Plow Pros Terms of Use Agreement

Effective Date: December 1, 2024

Welcome to Plow Pros, a platform that connects independent snow plow operators

("Contractors") with users seeking on-demand snow removal services ("Users"). By accessing or using the Plow Pros app, you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the service.

1. Services Provided

Plow Pros connects Users with independent Contractors for snow removal services. Plow Pros does not provide the snow removal service itself but facilitates communication between the User and the Contractor. By using this service, you acknowledge that the Contractor, not Plow Pros, is responsible for performing the service and for any issues arising from it.

2. Independent Contractor Relationship

All Contractors are independent third-party service providers and are not employees or agents of Plow Pros. Plow Pros is not liable for any damages, injuries, death, or losses resulting from the actions of the Contractors.

3. Use of the Plow Pros Platform

You are prohibited from using any automated methods, such as "deep-links," "web

scrapers," "robots," or any other programs or techniques, whether automated or manual, to access, collect, copy, or monitor any part of the Plow Pros platform or its content. Attempting to reproduce or bypass the navigational structure or display of the platform is not allowed.

Plow Pros reserves the right to prevent any such activities. Unauthorized access attempts to any area or feature of the platform, or to any connected systems or networks, are strictly prohibited. This includes actions like hacking, password "mining," or other illegitimate means. You must not probe, scan, or test the security of the platform or any networks connected to it, nor may you violate security measures or authentication protocols in place.

Additionally, you may not attempt to track or gather information on any other user or

visitor to the platform or any Plow Pros customer, including information associated with accounts not owned by you. Exploiting the platform or any service provided by it to reveal information, such as personal identification data unrelated to your own, is

forbidden.

You agree not to engage in any activities that would place an unreasonable burden on the infrastructure of the platform or on Plow Pros’ systems and networks, or any connected networks. Interference with the normal operation of the platform, or with any transactions occurring on the platform or with other users' experiences, is strictly prohibited.

You may not forge or manipulate any identifiers in a way that disguises the origin of any communications sent to Plow Pros through the platform. Impersonation of another individual or entity is not allowed. The platform and its content must not be used for any unlawful activities or purposes that violate these Terms of Use, nor should it be used to solicit illegal actions or any activities that infringe upon the rights of Plow Pros or any third parties.

You agree not to misuse the App in any way, including but not limited to:

• Impersonating another individual or entity.

• Interfering with the service, including through the use of viruses, bots, or other

disruptive technologies.

• Engaging in fraudulent activities or violating any local, state, or federal laws.

4. Pricing and Payments

Plow Pros facilitates the payment for services rendered by the Contractors. You agree that payment for services will be processed through the Plow Pros platform. Prices are subject to change based on market conditions. All transactions are final, and Users are responsible for ensuring that payment information is accurate and up to date.

5. Operator Standards

While Plow Pros does not control Operators, we strive to maintain a network of high-

quality service providers. Users are encouraged to rate and review Operators after

services are completed. Repeated complaints or poor performance from an Operator may result in their removal from the platform.

6. Insurance and Liability

Contractors must maintain adequate insurance for their vehicles and services. Users and Contractors agree that Plow Pros is not liable for any damages, injuries, death, or losses incurred during the course of the snow plowing service. Users acknowledge that Plow Pros is merely a platform provider and is not responsible for the quality, safety, or timeliness of services provided by Contractors.

7. User Responsibilities

As a User, you specifically agree to:

• Provide accurate information when using the app and acknowledge that any false

or misleading information may result in termination of their account. Users are

responsible for all activities that occur under their account.

• Provide accurate information when requesting services, including your address,

contact details, and any special instructions.

• Ensure that your driveway, parking lot, or other designated snow removal area is

free of hazards that could cause injury to the Operator or damage to their

equipment.

• Understand that weather conditions may affect the ability of Operators to provide

services promptly and that Plow Pros does not guarantee availability at all times.

8. Disputes/Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY

IMPACT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE LAWSUIT

IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIM. In order to expedite and

control the cost of litigation, you agree that any legal or equitable dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of any products and services subject to this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to the use, sale or distribution of Our Licensed Material or Services, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in a Court of Law, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. Arbitration shall take place in Anchorage, Alaska, and under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and using a single arbitrator from the AAA roster.

Any dispute or claim against Plow Pros arising out of the use of the Plow Pros App or

the terms of this Agreement must be brought within one (1) year from the date of accrual or it will be deemed waived forever. This provision may shorten the statute of

limitations in your jurisdiction, so please take notice. You waive any right to assert any claims against Plow Pros as a representative or member in any class or representative action, except where such waiver is prohibited by law or deemed by a court of law to be against public policy.

To the extent you are permitted by law or court of law to proceed with a class or representative action against the other, you agree that: (i) you shall not be entitled to recover attorney’s fees or costs

associated with pursuing the class or representative action (notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement); and (ii) you will not submit a claim or otherwise

participate in any recovery secured through the class or representative action.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alaska, without regard to its

conflict of law provisions.

10. No Third-Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is for the sole benefit of Plow Pros and User and our respective

successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these terms.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any law, such provision or part thereof shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of these Terms but the legality, validity, and enforceability of the other provisions in these Terms shall not be affected. In that event, the parties shall replace the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or part thereof with a provision or part thereof that is legal, valid, and enforceable and that has, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or part thereof, given the

contents and purpose of these Terms.

In these Terms, the words “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited

to.”

Our failure to enforce any of the terms and conditions under this Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance with any of Users obligations hereunder shall not mean We have waived Our rights to demand full and exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege

hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other

right, remedy, power, or privilege.
