Payment Terms
Any fees which the Company may charge you for the Software or Service are due immediately upon completion of your cleaning and are non-refundable. The Company reserves the right to determine final prevailing pricing - Please note the pricing information published on the website may not reflect the prevailing pricing.
The Company, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different rates to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your offer or contract. You may be charged for your appointment in full if you cancel within 24 hours of the appointment start subject to our Last Minute Cancellation Policy or if your cleaner is unable to complete as a result of being locked out of your home. Please see our Help Center for Last Minute Cancellation Policy and Lockout Policy. The Company may change the fees for our Service as we deem necessary for our business. We encourage you to check back at our website periodically if you are interested about how we charge for the Service.
ForeverClean Membership Autorenewal and Cancellation Terms
AUTORENEWAL TERMS: ForeverClean memberships will automatically renew on a monthly basis and your credit or debit card will be charged your monthly membership fee (taxes may apply) unless you cancel prior to your next billing cycle. Membership fees are due immediately upon renewal and are non-refundable. Thus, if you cancel after your membership is renewed, you will be charged for the entire month regardless of when you cancel your ForeverClean membership.
CANCELLATION TERMS: ForeverClean memberships can be canceled anytime online under your ‘Account Settings’ or by submitting a help ticket at our help center. However, canceling your ForeverClean membership before your initial commitment term will result in your first cleaning being charged at full price at standard rates (“early termination fee”). For avoidance of doubt, the early termination fee is calculated as the difference between the full price of your first cleaning at standard rates and the discounted price of your first cleaning (taxes may apply).
The “no refund policy” discussed in this section shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your usage, the Company's decision to terminate your usage, disruption caused to our Software or Service either planned, accidental or intentional, or any reason whatsoever.

Most resolutions are reached within one week, with the length of the resolution process varying depending on the severity of the case, the quality of documentation, and the cooperation of the requestor and cleaner.

Cash Back Program
Cash Back. We offer the ability for you to earn Cozy Maid credits (“Credits”) or cash back (“Cash Back”) (collectively, “Rewards”) on your purchases completed through the selected vendors in this program (“Select Services”). Participation in this program and the opportunity to earn Rewards are offered at the sole discretion of Company and subject to your compliance with this Agreement.
Submitting Information about Qualified Purchases. To qualify for rewards, you must upload receipts into the portal located at https://app.cozymaid.com/rewards (“Rewards Portal”) which reflect payments to Select Services. The receipt(s) that you upload for proof of payment at one of the Select Services: i) must be valued under $1,000 per service; ii) must have been paid by you; and iii) must be an authentic receipt issued by the Select Services (each such upload, a “Receipt”). Company reserves the right to verify the authenticity of any uploaded receipts prior to determining your eligibility for rewards, and by uploading your receipt you consent to the user of your data for the purpose of performing such validation and administering the Rewards, as further described in our Privacy Policy. Company will identify the amount of purchase credit eligible for Rewards for any Receipt in its sole discretion. The determination of whether a purchase made through a Select Services provider is at the sole discretion of Company.
Rewards Exclusions and Conditions. Rewards are earned based on the amount purchased on the uploaded receipt, excluding taxes, fees, shipping, discounts or credits, returns or cancellations, and extended warranties and any other items determined by Company in its sole discretion. If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that a Receipt is invalid or violates the requirements above, it will not deem the Receipt eligible for rewards. In order to earn Rewards, you must have an active ForeverClean Membership, meaning that all payments due have been paid and the membership has not been subject of any cancellation request. As a condition of payment of accrued Rewards, you must also: (i) provide a valid email address that you own and are able to receive email; and (ii) provide your physical address. If you elect to receive payment via PayPal or Venmo, you must provide a valid PayPal or Venmo email address. Additionally, you must not be a resident of a country subject to economic or trade sanctions by the U.S. State Department or U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), be listed as a “Specially Designated National,” a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist,” a “Blocked Person” or similar designation under the OFAC sanctions regime, or be a resident outside of the 50 United States or Washington D.C. You agree to provide additional information we may request to verify your identity as a condition for receiving payment. Company reserves the right to discontinue or freeze payment in the event that we believe, in our sole discretion, that payment may violate any applicable law. Company reserves the right to delay payment for any purchase based on Company’s suspicion or detection of fraud with your account or any anomalies detected by Company with your account. Company also reserves the right to modify the payment schedule at any time. Company is not responsible for payments delivered to the wrong address through no fault of Company or for payment errors made by payment partners, like PayPal.
Payment of Rewards. In order to receive Rewards, you will use the Rewards portal to elect the amount and type of Rewards. If you select payment by Venmo or Paypal, payment will be sent to the destination address you input. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have provided accurate and complete Venmo or Paypal Information. The minimum payment amount for Rewards is $5.00. Company pays you Cash Back in U.S. dollars via PayPal or Venmo, and Credits via your Cozy Maid account. Credits can be used towards payment of future cleaning bookings but not towards ForeverClean membership month fees.
Account Adjustments. In our sole discretion, we may deduct Rewards from your account to make adjustments for: (1) returns and cancellations with respect to receipts uploaded or (2) any Rewards that Company, in its sole discretion, deems as fraudulent, abusive, unethical, suspicious or otherwise inconsistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement or any other applicable law or regulation. Any such adjustments will be made in accordance with this Agreement, any applicable Company policies and terms, and any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. It is your responsibility to check your account regularly to ensure that Rewards have been properly credited and paid and that your account balance is accurate. If you believe that Rewards have not been correctly credited to your account, you must contact Company support within thirty (30) days of the date of the transaction reflected on the Receipt. However, Company is not obligated to reissue any Rewards under any circumstances. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES REGARDING THE REWARDS IS TO TERMINATE YOUR REWARDS ACCOUNT.
Taxes. You may be taxed on your receipt of Rewards depending on the tax laws of federal, state and local jurisdictions. You will be solely responsible for any tax liability arising in connection with Rewards, and your indemnity obligations in these terms will apply to the extent Company is subject of any Claims in connection with your Rewards account.
Fraudulent Activity. We reserve the right to investigate any Receipts uploaded for any reason. We reserve the right to terminate, suspend, or revoke Rewards for any Rewards account that we believe, in our sole discretion, is abusing or has abused the program. Any failure to comply with this Agreement, any alleged fraud or abuse relating to the accrual or receipt of Rewards, or any misrepresentation of any information furnished to Company by you or anyone acting on your behalf may result in the termination of your account and forfeiture of any accrued Rewards. Company reserves the right to pursue any and all remedies available under applicable law for negligence, fraud, or other malfeasance in connection with the Rewards.

You and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Santa Clara, California or a United States District Court, Northern District of California located in Santa Clara, California, for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.
Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice, as set forth above.
BINDING ARBITRATION. If you and the Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Service or Software (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY USING THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICE AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT, THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, the Company will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or remotely online or by video. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
EXCEPTIONS TO ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court in Santa Clara County, California, with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's intellectual property or proprietary rights.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. You and the Company agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between the Company and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" Section will be deemed null and void. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s), except that you may pursue a claim for and the arbitrator may award public injunctive relief under applicable law only to the extent required for the enforceability of this provision.
LOCATION OF ARBITRATION. Arbitration will take place in Santa Clara County, California, unless otherwise agreed to by both You and the Company. You and the Company agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the California state and Federal courts located in Santa Clara, California have exclusive jurisdiction and you and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
CONFIDENTIALITY. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. SEVERABILITY. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term of this Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration provision (other than the subsection above titled “WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING”) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration provision will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions in the subsection above titled “WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief.
FUTURE CHANGES TO ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
