  2. Overview of our Services

    MassageBook provides businesses in the massage, bodywork, health, and wellbeing-related professions a suite of software tools to help manage their schedules and marketing efforts in addition to managing many administrative and management tasks a business faces each day.

    The public MassageBook directory offers those seeking massage, bodywork, health, and wellbeing-related services a way to locate professional service providers near them, to review their services, and to book appointments online if they desire.

    To ensure the quality of the MassageBook experience, we have set up our Terms of Service for our mutual benefit. If you violate these rules it will mean you have broken the terms of service and this may result in a termination of your account.

    MASSAGEBOOK DOES NOT PERFORM ANY MASSAGE AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS OR PROFESSIONALS TO PERFORM THESE MASSAGES. MASSAGEBOOK DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, OR CONTROL PROFESSIONAL’S WORK IN ANY MANNER.

    MassageBook does not have control over, nor is it responsible for, the performance of Professionals, including the quality, timing, legality, nature, and failure to provide any Services. Moreover, MassageBook does not have control over, nor is it responsible for, the conduct of its Customers. MassageBook is not responsible for interactions which occur between Users, whether in person, through the platform, offline, or online.

  3. Vetting of Users

    Users may be subject to a vetting process before using and while using the Platform, including, but not limited to, verifying their identification. Although MassageBook may conduct vetting, it cannot guarantee their accuracy, or the identity of any user. Accordingly, MassageBook cannot and does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy of any background check or vetting of users, nor for the conduct of its users.

    MassageBook recommends that all users use common sense judgment and precautions when interacting with users, just like you would in interaction with any other individual whom you don’t know.

MASSAGEBOOK AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY, OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.

  4. Pricing and Billing

    The pricing and billing cycle for your use of the Service will be as set forth in a pricing schedule available in connection with the Services when you subscribe.

    Monthly subscriptions are billed once a month and on a recurring basis. The billing day shall be on or around the monthly anniversary of the day the subscription was first purchased.

    Additionally, MassageBook charges Professionals a fee (“New Client Fee” or “Directory Marketing Fee”) when we send a Professional a new Customer. The New Client Fee amounts to 15% of the cost of the Services performed by the Professional for the Customer on their first appointment. Failure to pay MassageBook a New Client Fee, including but not limited to Professionals taking money from Customers outside of the Platform in an attempt to avoid paying any or all of the New Client Fee shall be considered a violation of this Agreement and may be subject to our Non-Circumvention Policy.

    MassageBook reserves the right to change its plans and pricing at any time and will attempt to notify you of the change via email. If notice of a change in pricing does not reach you because you failed to provide us with timely notice of a change in your contact information, or do not see the email notice, that change in pricing will still occur.

    Following our free trial period, you must provide MassageBook or its designated agent with valid credit card information as a condition to continuing to use and subscribe to the Services. You also agree to provide MassageBook with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, email address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact. You agree to update this information within 30 days of any change to it. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, MassageBook reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services in addition to any other legal remedies. Please note that MassageBook currently uses a third party to perform billing services and therefore may share billing and other information as necessary to enable the billing services to be performed.

    All charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by MassageBook using the preferred payment method designated in your account and subject to the Payment Policy in Section 5.

    MassageBook may, at times, have certain promotions, including vouchers, which may be applied to your account and may be used to pay for Services from Professional(s), either in part or in full. Such Promotions are subject to the specific terms outlined in said promotions.

    Any dispute between you and MassageBook regarding any charge, including any discount or removal of such charges, is subject to MassageBook’s Dispute Resolution Policy, and any such revision of charges shall be in MassageBook’s sole discretion.

  5. Payment Processing

    All Users must have a valid Payment Method on file prior to engaging any User through the Platform. MassageBook currently accepts debit and credit cards as valid Payment Methods.
    MassageBook reserves the right to maintain at least one Payment Method on file at any time and restrict User’s ability to remove all payment methods on file while they have an active subscription.

    MassageBook will charge the Payment Method you specify at the time of signing up to a Subscription Plan using a third-party payment processor. Our third-party payment processor may have an independent terms of service and privacy policy which you will be subject to when making a payment using such third-party payment processor’s service, and we encourage you to review all such terms prior to making any payment. You authorize MassageBook to charge all sums as described in these Terms, for the subscription you select, to that Payment Method.

  6. Feedback

    We always appreciate feedback and are always on the lookout for ways to improve MassageBook. For feedback, comments, questions, or concerns, you can contact us at support@massagebook.com and we will return your email at the soonest opportunity possible.

  7. Non-Circumvention Policy

    As a User, you acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation MassageBook receives for making the Platform available to you is collected through the New Client Fee and the Directory Marketing Fee described above. MassageBook only receives this Fee when a new customer is directed to a Professional’s MassageBook website directly from the MassageBook directory and pays the Professional.  Therefore, you must use the Platform as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive the first payment for work directly or indirectly with that party or arising out of your relationship with that party. You may opt-out of this obligation with respect to each Professional-Customer relationship only if Professional pays MassageBook for each such relationship by paying an “Opt-Out Fee” of $100 USD. The Professional or Customer requesting to work off-Service will be invoiced the full amount of the Opt-Out Fee. Users will have five days to pay the invoice in full before MassageBook automatically processes the charge using the User’s payment method on file with MassageBook, unless the Users have arranged an alternate payment schedule with MassageBook. 

  8. Guarantee and Warranty

    Use of the Platform is at your sole risk. All materials, information, products, software, programs, and Services are provided “as is,” with no warranties or guarantees whatsoever. MassageBook expressly disclaims to the fullest extent permitted by law all express, implied, statutory, and other warranties, guarantees, or representations, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement of proprietary and intellectual property rights. Without limitation, MassageBook makes no warranty or guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. You understand and agree that if you download or otherwise obtain materials, information, products, software, programs, or services, you do so at your own discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible for any damages that may result, including loss of data or damage to your computer system. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

  9. Indemnification and Release

    You agree to release, indemnify and hold MassageBook harmless from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of another. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you agree to release MassageBook (including each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, and suppliers) from claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected to such disputes with other users or to your use of the Platform or participation in the Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” All Users acknowledge that they have been advised to consult with legal counsel and that they are familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by them, must have materially affected their settlement with the releasee. Users, being aware of said principle, agree to expressly waive any rights they may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

  10. Limitation of Liability

    IN NO EVENT WILL MASSAGEBOOK BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE WHATSOEVER RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THE PLATFORM OR ANY USE OF THE PLATFORM, OR OF ANY SITE OR RESOURCE LINKED TO, REFERENCED, OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, OR FOR THE USE OR DOWNLOADING OF, OR ACCESS TO, ANY MATERIALS, INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA, EVEN IF MESSAGEBOOK IS EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS EXCLUSION AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY APPLIES TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORIES.

  11. Governing Law

    These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms of Services, then you and MassageBook agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Charleston County, South Carolina, for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the Service from our offices in South Carolina, and we make no representation that materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

  12. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

    In the interest of resolving disputes between you and MassageBook in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and MassageBook agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited (if any) review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MASSAGEBOOK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. 

    Exceptions
    Despite the provisions of Section 12, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. 

    Arbitrator
    Any arbitration between you and MassageBook will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at  www.adr.org , by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting MassageBook at  support@massagebook.com.

    Notice; Process
    A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). MassageBook’s address for Notice is: 1028 Johnnie Dodds Blvd, Suite 101, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or MassageBook may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or MassageBook must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, MassageBook will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by MassageBook in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000

    Fees and Procedure
    The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Services, MassageBook will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Charleston County, South Carolina, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse MassageBook for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

    The arbitrator may grant injunctions and other relief. The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which the dispute arose, including civil procedure rules, and the arbitrator shall apply the substantive and procedural law of the jurisdiction in which the dispute arose. To the extent that the AAA Rules conflict with local law, local law shall take preference. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award.

    No Class Actions
    YOU AND MASSAGEBOOK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING except that users may bring a proceeding as a private attorney general, if and as allowed by law. Further, unless both you and MassageBook agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement infringes upon any rights a User may have under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including any rights prohibiting compulsory arbitration.

    Modifications to this Arbitration Provision
    If MassageBook makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to MassageBook’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to MassageBook' address for Notice, in which case your account with MassageBook will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

    Enforceability
    If Section 12 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 12 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 11 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Service.

    Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
    You may submit a statement notifying MassageBook that you wish to opt out and not be subject to arbitration under this section. Should you desire to opt out, you must notify MassageBook of your intention to opt out by submitting a written notice, which may be via email to support@massagebook.com that you are opting out of this section. In order to be effective, your opt out notice must be provided within thirty (30) days of your agreeing to these Terms of Service. Should you timely opt out of this section, you may pursue available legal remedies and will not be required to arbitrate claims.

  13. Agreement to Arbitrate All Disputes and Legal Claims

    Should a dispute arise between you and MassageBook, we would like to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Therefore, for any claim (except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights) under this Agreement, either party may elect to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. The party electing arbitration must initiate it through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration will be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions; (b) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    Any claim or potential claim that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the state in which the services were performed. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or as otherwise mutually agreed by you and we. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be brought within the time required by applicable law. You and we agree that any claim, action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Agreement must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, collective, or class proceeding.

    YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND MASSAGEBOOK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

  14. Termination of Subscription

    You may terminate any subscription that you have with MassageBook at any time by using the Cancel Subscription function available as part of the Services.

    When you create a reservation or appointment through the Platform, you are entering into a business relationship with the scheduled service provider. You agree that as a result of this business relationship, that MassageBook and the service provider can contact you via e-mail or other means to confirm details of the reservation, notify you of reservation cancellations, reschedule your reservation, or communicate other information. As a courtesy to you, the Platform may send e-mail communication relevant to your reservation (new reservation notices, reservation reminders, cancellation notices, etc.). You agree that these e-mail communications do not constitute unsolicited e-mail (sometimes referred to as ‘SPAM’) and as such are not subject to the terms of the Platform’s unsubscribe policy. You also agree that you may not receive these messages in a timely manner (if at all) due to server error, ISP error, Internet traffic, e-mail filters, or any other circumstances. Failure to receive or read a courtesy reservation message will in no way absolve you from fulfilling your reservation responsibilities to the service provider (attending the reservation or canceling the reservation according to the service provider’s cancellation policy). Service providers and MassageBook may send you business-related e-mail messages that are not directly related to reservations. Using the unsubscribe link available in these e-mails, you will have the option of unsubscribing from such communications without impacting your receipt of reservation-related messages. You must unsubscribe separately to each service provider because each service provider maintains a separate unsubscribe list. You acknowledge that MassageBook is not responsible for the content or transmission of any e-mails or other messages sent by service providers who make reservations available through the Platform, including any failure by such third parties to include an unsubscribe link in their e-mails.
