1. The LoveJunk Platform Connects Customers to Collectors and Reusers

The LoveJunk Platform is a web-based platform which enables connections between Customers, Collectors and Reusers. “Customers” are individuals, organisations and/or businesses seeking to obtain junk and waste removal services (“Collections”) from Collectors or Reusers and are therefore customers of Collectors and Reusers. “Collectors” are sole traders and businesses seeking to perform Collections for Customers. “Reusers” are individuals, sole traders and businesses seeking to perform Collections for free for Customers in order to reuse the items collected. Customers, Collectors and Reusers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.” If you agree on the terms of a Collection with another User, you and such other User form a Service Agreement directly between the two of you as set out in more detail in Section 3 below.

COLLECTORS AND REUSERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF CUSTOMERS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR FRANCHISEES OF LOVEJUNK. LOVEJUNK DOES NOT PERFORM WASTE COLLECTIONS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM WASTE COLLECTIONS OR REUSE ITEMS. BY CONNECTING PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES SEEKING WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES WITH WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE PROVIDERS AND REUSERS, LOVEJUNK OPERATES AS AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE FOR WASTE REMOVAL, DISPOSAL AND REUSE.

USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LOVEJUNK DOES NOT SUPERVISE, SCOPE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A COLLECTOR'S OR REUSER'S WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE WORK PERFORMED AND THE WASTE COLLECTIONS IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF LAWFULLY COMPLIANT DISPOSAL, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, STATUTE, ORDINANCE, REGULATION, OR CODE.

Any reference on the LoveJunk Platform to a Collector or Reuser being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or “badged,” “reliable,” “reliability rate,” “elite,” “great value,” “background checked,” “vetted” (or similar language) designations indicates only that the Collector or Reuser has completed a relevant account process or met certain criteria and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by LoveJunk of such Collector's or Reuser's skills or qualifications or whether they are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for Customers to evaluate when they make their own decisions about the identity and suitability of Collectors or Reusers whom they contact or interact with via the LoveJunk Platform.

The LoveJunk Platform enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Collections. LoveJunk is not responsible for the performance or communications of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Collections, Collectors, Reusers or Customers, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to each other. LoveJunk makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Collections requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the LoveJunk Platform, whether in public or private, via on- or off-line interactions, or otherwise howsoever.

In the course of enabling connections between Users for the fulfilment of Collections, LoveJunk provides in-app messaging and phone calls. Users acknowledge and agree that LoveJunk may review such phone calls and messaging made via the LoveJunk platform for the purposes of product improvement, training or service dispute purposes.

2. User Background Checks and User Representations and Warranties

User Background Checks

Users may be subject to a review process before they can register for and during their use of the LoveJunk Platform, which may include but is not limited to: identity verification, right to work checks, waste carrier license verification, and criminal background checks, using third party services as appropriate (“Background Checks”). Although LoveJunk may perform Background Checks, LoveJunk cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information.

When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety, data, and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. LoveJunk will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the LoveJunk Platform.

NEITHER LOVEJUNK, NOR ITS PARENTS, AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS, INCLUDING THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, INVESTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, LEGAL ADVISERS, REPRESENTATIVES, INSURERS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “AFFILIATES”) IS RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE CONDUCT, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE LOVEJUNK PLATFORM AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE LOVEJUNK AND AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE LOVEJUNK PLATFORM.

3. Contract between Customers and Collectors and Reusers

You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract with another User (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you and that User agree on the terms of a Collection. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the LoveJunk Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by the Collector / Reuser and their Customer to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, including this Section 3, and do not expand LoveJunk's obligations or restrict LoveJunk's rights under this Agreement. LoveJunk is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create an employment or other service relationship between LoveJunk and the Collector or Reuser, nor will it create an employment relationship between the Customer and the Collector or Reuser. Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of LoveJunk. LoveJunk's role, beyond enabling connections between Customers and Collectors or Reusers via it's web-based communications platform, is to act as a limited payment collection agent for the Collector to facilitate payment for Collections on behalf of the Collector through the LoveJunk Platform using the PSP. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for Collections on the LoveJunk Platform, LoveJunk disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Collector, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Collector, either within or outside of the LoveJunk Platform.

While using the LoveJunk Platform, Customers, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Collection is performed. Customers who elect not to be present when a Collection is performed agree that if someone other than them books the Collection on their behalf or is present when the Collection is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent (“Customer’s Agent”) and the Collector or Reuser may take and follow direction from the Customer's Agent as if such direction was given from the Customer him or herself. If you are a Customer's Agent and accessing and using the LoveJunk Platform on behalf of a Customer, you represent that you have the authority to act as their agent and to bind that person as the principal to all provisions of the Terms of Service. Customer assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of Customer's Agents. 

The Customer shall pay their Collector(s) in full for all Collection services via the PSP as indicated on the LoveJunk Platform, at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each User agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Collection.

4. Billing and Payment

Users of the LoveJunk Platform contract for Collections directly with other Users. LoveJunk will not be a party to any contracts for Collections or services. Payment for Collection services through the LoveJunk Platform is made directly from the Customer to the Collector via the PSP, and not by LoveJunk. LoveJunk is not obligated to compensate the Collector for Customer's failure to pay for services.

The Collection Payment and platform fee must be paid through the PSP. Users of the LoveJunk Platform will be required to provide their payment method details to LoveJunk and the PSP. Customers will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Collection. Collectors will be responsible for paying the platform fee due to LoveJunk for each Collection.  

Collectors will be required to set up an account with the PSP, which may require any or all of the following: registration with the PSP, agreement with the terms of service of the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”), and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation at the request of the PSP. By accepting these Terms, each Collector agrees that they have reviewed and agreed to the PSP Services Agreement. Please note that LoveJunk is not a party to the PSP Services Agreement and that you, the PSP and any other parties listed in the PSP Services Agreement are the parties to the PSP Services Agreement and that LoveJunk has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Collector or other party under the PSP Services Agreement.

To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, LoveJunk and/or the PSP may validate an account before activation and prior to each booking. 

When a Customer receives confirmation through the LoveJunk Platform that a Collection has been completed and has themself also confirmed that it has been completed, the Customer automatically authorizes the PSP to process the Invoice(s). Users may be charged a cancellation fee through the PSP if you book (or accept) a collection, but cancel it before (or fail to appear upon) the scheduled time for performance.

LoveJunk reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Customer or Collector, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the LoveJunk Platform, to (i) place on hold any Collection Payment or (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the PSP to do so.

Users of the LoveJunk Platform will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable in the country where the Collection is performed) required to be paid on the Collections provided under the Agreement.

5. Gift Cards, and Promotional Codes

LoveJunk may from time to time provide certain promotional opportunities  to Users. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of LoveJunk, and can be implemented, modified, or removed at any time by LoveJunk without advance notification. The liability of LoveJunk and Affiliates, as well as any of LoveJunk’s corporate partners pursuant to such promotional opportunities and contests, shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16 of these Terms.

LoveJunk gift cards (“Gift Cards”) and promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) may be available and can be used to pay Collection Payments and LoveJunk platform fee in part or in full.

(a) Promo Codes

Promo Codes are an offer by LoveJunk to reduce the amount a Customer has to pay in relation to a Collection Payment. Promo Codes will not affect the amount of the Collection Payment a Collector ultimately receives. The use or application of any Promo Code is solely intended as a promotional initiative and does not in any way create a relationship or engagement between LoveJunk or the Collector or Customer, or constitute wages, fees or other amounts paid to the Collector by LoveJunk. You agree that you will use Promo Codes in accordance with the terms and conditions governing the Promo Code. A new user Promo Code may only be used once by any User, regardless of the email address used during registration. LoveJunk reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code by you or any other User in the event that the use or redemption of a Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms and conditions or this Agreement.

(b) Gift Cards

Gift cards can only be used in connection with Collections performed on the LoveJunk Platform, are not replaceable if lost or stolen and have no expiration date. Gift cards have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash except as required by law. Gift Cards must be entered directly into the Customer account; they may not be directly accepted by Collectors as a payment method.

A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Cards, gift certificates or Promo Codes. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. You cannot “reload” (or add value/balance) to your Gift Card at this time. If a Gift Card holder's purchase exceeds the amount of that Gift Card's balance, the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another means. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable. LoveJunk reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if LoveJunk believes that a billing error has occurred. LoveJunk reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity, and to cancel a Gift Card if it believes that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement, and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof.

You agree to comply with all Gift Card terms and conditions.

12. LoveJunk Operates as an Online Marketplace

LoveJunk operates as an online marketplace that connects Customers with service providers (Collectors and Reusers) who wish to perform Collections. LoveJunk does not perform Collections and does not employ people to perform Collections. Collectors operate as independent business owners and are customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as that involved in the services performed for Customers through the LoveJunk Platform. LoveJunk does not control or direct the Collectors' performance of their services or set their work locations or work hours. Collectors provide services under their own name or business name, and not under LoveJunk's name.

Collectors are free to maintain a clientele without any restrictions from LoveJunk and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere. LoveJunk does not set Collectors' hours or terms of work. Collectors are free to accept or reject Customers and contracts. Collectors are not penalized for rejecting Customers or contracts, though if Collectors accept a Customer or contract through the LoveJunk Platform, they are expected to fulfill their contractual obligations. Users determine their own rates for services performed in the LoveJunk general marketplace.

The LoveJunk Platform is not an employment agency service or business and LoveJunk is not an employer of any User. Collectors and Reusers acknowledge and confirm that they are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into Service Agreements and performing Collections and that, depending on how they exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.

Failure by LoveJunk to enforce any provision(s) of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and LoveJunk with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes and governs any and all prior agreements or communications. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be interpreted in a manner which makes them valid, legal, and enforceable.

Collectors alone are responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations before offering their services and undertaking Collections. Indeed, certain types of Collections and services may be prohibited altogether, and it is the responsibility of Collectors to avoid such prohibited Collections and services. Penalties may include fines or other law enforcement. If you have questions about how national/ state/ provincial/ territorial and local laws apply to your Collections and services on the LoveJunk Platform, you should first seek appropriate legal guidance.

Because LoveJunk does not supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor a Collector's work or performance of Collections, Customers must determine for themselves whether a Collector is qualified to perform the specific Collection at hand. Customers may wish to consult their national/state/provincial/territorial or local requirements to determine whether certain Collections are required to be performed by a licensed or otherwise registered professional. Customers may also wish to discuss with their Collector any specific hazards, obstacles, or impediments in the Collection location (both visible and concealed) that may impact the performance of the Collection.

Contract between Customers and Collectors

Customers, and not LoveJunk, supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor a Collector's work and the Collections performed, and may waive any such direction or instruction during the performance of the Collection. Customer's Agent may authorize any applicable waiver of the Customer's scoping, direction, or instruction of the Collector's work or performance of the Collection by signing in the Customer's stead. Customer agrees that such direction and/or waiver is valid against Customer and Customer's Agent, and Customer shall be responsible and liable for all such direction and/or waiver as if made by Customer him or herself.

Invoicing Obligations for Collectors

As a Collector rendering services in the U.K., you may have the obligation under the Commercial Code and the Tax Code to issue invoices or receipts to your Customers.

By accepting these Terms of Service, you acknowledge that LoveJunk will not issue invoices or receipts on your behalf.

A Collector rendering services in the U.K. may be required to issue invoices to its Customers. The Collector shall be responsible at all times, and fully liable regarding, (i) its invoicing obligations, in particular as regards the content of the invoice and its mandatory details and (ii) the VAT consequences deriving from that. More generally, the Collector shall be responsible for filing his/her VAT returns and paying VAT relating to the Collections performed by the Collector for the benefit of the Customer.

LoveJunk shall not be held responsible for any breach of the Collector's tax obligations, it being specified that LoveJunk shall not be held jointly and severally liable for VAT, interest on overdue VAT, or for any penalties or fines that would be owed by the Collector.

Governing Law

This Agreement and your use of the LoveJunk Platform shall be governed by English law, and any dispute regarding this Agreement or the use of the LoveJunk Platform will only be dealt with by the English courts.
