Scope of Use
Spur, Inc. and its affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively “Spur”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provide the Site to you, the user of the Site (“you” or “your”) for your informational, noncommercial use, and subject to the Terms of Service. The use of this Site to evaluate whether to enter into a business relationship with Spur shall not constitute a commercial use of the Site. It is a violation of the Terms of Service for you to use the Site in violation of any laws and regulations or in violation of the rules of any Spur service providers. Certain other programs or services provided by Spur through linked websites or other channels may have additional terms and conditions that govern your use of those services, and nothing in these Terms of Service is intended to modify, limit, or otherwise impair such terms of service.
Spur is a staffing services company in the business of applying its professional judgment to provide tools and other resources to determine the optimal pairings of service workers and those in need of related services. The Site is a web-based communications platform which enables Workers and Workplaces to connect. “Workplaces” are individuals or business entities who seek to obtain temporary services (“Jobs”) from Workers through Spur. “Workers” are individuals employed by Spur for the purpose of performing one or more Jobs for one or more Workplaces. Workers and Workplaces together are hereinafter referred to as “users.”
As described later in these Terms of Service, when a Worker is engaged through Spur to perform a Job for a Workplace, the Worker shall at all times during such Job be an employee of Spur and shall not be an employee of the Workplace. The Workplace may not hire or terminate any Spur employee. Spur reserves the sole right to hire and fire Workers. The foregoing shall not limit the Workplace’s right, as herein provided, to terminate any Job or request that Spur provide a replacement Worker for a Job. In the event Spur terminates a Worker during a Job, Spur shall use its reasonable best efforts to tender to the Workplace a replacement Worker as soon as practical, at which point, unless Spur has directed otherwise, the replacement Worker will need to be engaged by the Workplace using the same process as used for a new Job as described below.
Due to the nature of the Internet, Spur cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Site. We may restrict the availability of the Site or certain areas or features thereof, in our sole discretion, including where we have determined that such restrictions are necessary to address capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Site or our required compliance with any law, regulation, or governmental agency mandate. The Site may also be affected by activities or events beyond our control, such as internet service provider outages or problems, fire, war, accident, act of God or act of terrorism. In addition, we may improve, enhance or modify the Site and introduce new services from time to time.
Registration, Access, and Security
If you use any Spur service and provide us any information through the Site, such as your name, social security number, previous work experience, education background, birthdate, criminal history, bank account information, credit card information, federal employment identification number, citizenship status, address, zip code, phone number, contact details, email address, and/or Your password (collectively, Your “User Information”) for any accounts associated with you (“Your Account(s)”), you agree to provide true, accurate, current, complete and up-to-date information. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, non-current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, non-current or incomplete, then we have the right to terminate or refuse any and all current or future access or use of the Site (or any portion thereof).
We reserve the right to take any action that we deem necessary to ensure the security of the Site and Your Account, including without limitation changing your password, terminating Your Account, or requesting additional information to authorize transactions on Your Account. You are solely responsible for keeping Your User Information and any security questions and responses associated with Your Account confidential. Anyone with knowledge of or access to Your User Information or the security questions and responses associated with Your Account can use that information to gain access to Your Account.
You are solely liable for any claims, damages, losses, costs or other liabilities resulting from or caused by any failure to keep Your User Information and the security questions and responses confidential, whether such failure occurs with or without your knowledge or consent. You must immediately notify us of any suspected or actual unauthorized access to or use of Your Account, your User Information, or any other breach of Your Account security. You hereby authorize and consent to the collection, storage, sharing, use, transfer and sale by Spur and its service providers, of any information and data related to or derived from your use of the Site.
You are responsible for providing and maintaining, at your own risk, option and expense, any hardware, software and communication lines required to access and use the Site. Spur reserves the right to change the access configuration of the Site at any time, without prior notice.
Terms Specific to Workers
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE IS INTENDED TO CREATE AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. YOU WILL BE AN EMPLOYEE “AT WILL” OF SPUR, WHICH MEANS THAT THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH SPUR MAY BE TERMINATED BY YOU OR BY US AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND WITHOUT NOTICE. JOBS ARE ACCEPTED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT NO GUARANTEE OR PROMISE OF DURATION OF ASSIGNMENT IS GIVEN OR IMPLIED.
You acknowledge and agree that the Site is intended for use only by Workers who are able to enter into an employment relationship with Spur and, as an employee of Spur, to perform Jobs for Workplaces that engage the Worker through the Site. Your status as an employee of Spur is expressly contingent upon you not having any binding employment agreements from previous employers or other legal restrictions that would prevent you from becoming a Worker or otherwise accepting a Job with a Workplace, your proof of right to work in the United States, and our completion of a successful background investigation, which are generally completed prior to you being hired as an employee of Spur.
To qualify for certain Jobs, you may be required to successfully complete a more in-depth background investigation than the investigation we complete at your time of initial hire by Spur, or you may be required to provide the results of a negative drug screening or proof that you possess a specialized license, have undergone certain training, or hold other certifications, or you may be required to agree to certain confidentiality, non-solicitation, works-made-for-hire, or other restrictive covenant agreements with the Workplace. If you choose to apply for these Jobs, you are responsible for satisfying these additional requirements at your sole cost. Spur will not be responsible for any related expenses.
Our Relationship:
By accepting these Terms of Service, you agree that you are an at-will employee of Spur. During any Job with a Workplace, your relationship with that Workplace will be as a placed Worker of Spur (a “Placed Worker”), and not as an employee of the Workplace. As a result, you will not be entitled to any rights of an employee with respect to any Workplace.
You may not subcontract any Job, without the prior written consent of Spur and the Workplace that posted the Job.
As an employee of Spur, you acknowledge and agree to:
- complete any mandatory training that we may require from time to time,
- comply with all applicable work rules, dress codes, code of conduct, security measures, and other policies set forth in the Spur Employee Handbook or other policies adopted by Spur, which may be amended from time to time and will be made available to you on the Site,
- contact Spur regarding any complaints or concerns that you may have about a Job or Workplace or the actions or inactions of Workplace or Spur personnel, and
- provide services to any Workplace only pursuant to the Job that you have accepted and not to perform additional services for any such Workplace unless the prior written approval of Spur has been obtained or a new Job has been posted to our Site and properly accepted by you.
Employee Compensation and Benefits:
While the Workplace sets the actual hourly rate paid for a particular Job, Spur reserves the sole right to establish the total fees to be paid by a Workplace to Spur wages in connection with any Job, and assumes responsibility for deducting Spur’s fees and then paying the resulting wages to you when due, and withholding and depositing all unemployment compensation, income tax withholding and other payroll taxes and other withholdings from such amounts as required by law or contract. As your employer, Spur has the sole discretion to determine whether any employee benefits will be offered to you and the terms thereof. Any such employee benefits will at all times be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the governing documents for such benefit, which may be modified or terminated, in our sole discretion, at any time. If you work enough hours through Jobs to be considered a “full-time employee” of Spur for purposes of the Affordable Care Act, Spur will be responsible for offering qualifying medical coverage to you.
You will not be entitled at any time to any benefits or perquisites offered by a Workplace, except where specifically agreed in writing between Spur and the Workplace in which event only the Workplace and not Spur shall be liable for the provision of the agreed-upon benefits or perquisites.
Liability Insurance:
Spur is responsible for maintaining workers’ compensation insurance for you, as required by law. We also purchase general liability, professional, and employment practices insurance that offers protection to us and to our workforce from certain claims.
Restrictive Covenants/Confidentiality:
You hereby represent, covenant, and warrant that you are not covered by any restrictive covenant (“restrictive covenant”), including, but not limited to, a non-competition, non-solicitation, or non-disclosure agreement, that would prohibit your employment by Spur. You agree that you will not accept any Job that violates any restrictive covenant to which you are now, or may become, subject. You recognize that we do not have the ability and obligation to pre-screen or validate any information regarding any restrictive covenant to which you may be subject now or in the future, and that the compliance with any such restrictive covenant is your sole responsibility.
You recognize that during the course of your employment with Spur, you may be exposed or have access to, or Spur or a Workplace may disclose or provide to you, Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. The Trade Secrets and Confidential Information of Spur and each Workplace are the sole and exclusive property of Spur or such Workplace (as applicable). The disclosure of any Trade Secrets and Confidential Information to you shall not give you any license, interest or rights of any kind in or to the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information. You agree that all confidential information that you obtain from or about a Workplace while responding to or during a Job should not be communicated or otherwise shared with anyone, other than authorized personnel of that Workplace. In addition, your rate of pay and benefits with Spur are deemed confidential matters between you and Spur, and absent a compelling reason to the contrary, are not to be disclosed to third parties, including the personnel of any Workplace.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Spur and each Workplace harmless from any suit, claim, or other expense arising out of or related to your violation or alleged violation of such restrictive covenant or the above confidentiality restrictions.
Job Posts, Frequency, & Pay Rates:
You acknowledge and agree that Workplaces are solely responsible for posting Jobs on the Site. Spur is not obligated to monitor the posting of Jobs, the source of Jobs, the number of Jobs posted, or their frequency. You agree that Workplaces solely control the posting and availability of Jobs in their discretion. Spur does not guarantee that any amount of Jobs will be made available to you through the Site, as availability is fully dependent on Workplace demand, which may drop off at any time for any reason.
The Workplace sets the hourly pay rate for Jobs booked through Spur. You acknowledge and agree that Spur is not involved in setting any of these rates, other than requiring that the Workplace satisfy the hourly minimum wage rates and overtime required by applicable federal, state or local law. Employees are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal law at a rate of 1 and ½ times the employee’s hourly rate at which the overtime occurred for time worked in excess of 40 hours per work week. We will not be held responsible for any issues or disputes that arise with respect to the Jobs posted on the Site. Additionally, Spur is not obligated to review or overturn a Workplace’s decision to reject a Worker’s offer to accept a Job or a Workplace’s rejection of a Worker, whether due to nonperformance, unsatisfactory performance, or other reasons, and Spur will not be held responsible for any such Workplace decisions.
Unless specifically provided in a Job posting or required by law, no special pay rate will be due if a Job is performed on a holiday.
You acknowledge and agree that Spur limits the number of hours that you may work in a day or work week. Our work day begins at 12:01 a.m. and ends at 12:00 midnight, and our work week begins at 12:01 a.m. each Monday and ends at 12:00 midnight on the following Sunday, in the time zone in which the Job is being performed (or, if performed virtually or remotely, in the location of the Workplace’s headquarters). We currently limit you to thirty-eight (38) hours per work week.
You are not permitted to work beyond the hours stated in the Job that you have accepted on our Site.
Background Checks and Authorization and Release:
- Background Checks: We or our designated agents or representatives may request background information about you from a consumer reporting agency in connection with your request to use the Site for work purposes and/or your submission for certain Jobs through the Site. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (the “FCRA”) defines such a report, including investigative consumer reports as defined under the FCRA, as a “Consumer Report”, and all inquiries are limited to information that affects your performance of potential Jobs through our Site. All requests are conducted in accordance with applicable laws, including the FCRA. We use an outside agency for this screening: Inflection Risk Solutions, LLC d/b/a GoodHire P.O. Box 391403 Omaha, NE 68139, Phone: 1-888-906-7351 Fax: 650-362-1933. As a result, GoodHire may obtain one or more a Consumer Reports on you as a user of the Site.
- Authorization and Release: Pursuant to the United Stated Fair Credit Reporting Act, you hereby authorize Spur and its designated agents and representatives to conduct a comprehensive review of your background through a Consumer Report and/or an investigative consumer report to be generated for pre-screening as a Worker authorized to use our Site and as may be required to qualify for certain Jobs through our Site. By accepting these Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree that you have carefully read and understand this disclosure for the procurement of Consumer Reports. You also understand that information contained in your profile or otherwise disclosed by you before or during your use of our Site, if any, may be used for the purpose of obtaining Consumer Reports and/or investigative consumer reports. By accepting these Terms of Service, you authorize law enforcement agencies, learning institutions (including public and private schools and universities), information service bureaus, credit bureaus, record/data repositories, courts (federal, state, local, or international), motor vehicle records agencies, your past or present employers, the military, and other individuals and sources to furnish any and all information about you that is requested by the consumer reporting agency. You certify the information that you provide in order for Spur or its designated agents or representatives to obtain a Consumer Report is true and correct and will be valid for any reports that may be requested by or on behalf of Spur.
You agree that certain Jobs may require that you satisfy additional background checks, in which case your application for such Job will be deemed to be your authorization to obtain any additional reports required by such Job.
Payment for Jobs Completed:
Once you have accepted a Job through the Site, you will be prompted to start and end the Job through the Site to record time worked. Once you end the Job, the Workplace has 24 hours to review the time entered. Any time that is deemed incorrect can be disputed by either the Workplace or you. If the time entered is not disputed by either party within 24 hours, the Job is closed automatically, the Workplace will be responsible for Total Charges, and you will only be entitled to the amount of the agreed upon hourly rate multiplied by the hours recorded minus any withholdings applicable by law or contract. In limited cases, a Workplace may have a longer period of time for review, but only if set forth in a written agreement between the Workplace and Spur.
After you have indicated your completion of the Job, and after the Workplace has rated the work and indicated its acceptance of your completion of such Job through the Site, funds shall be paid weekly via direct deposit to you in the amount agreed upon at acceptance of the Job.
Enrollment in direct deposit is voluntary and is not a condition to hire or continued employment with Spur. Failure to enroll in direct deposit will not adversely the terms or conditions of your employment with Spur in any way. If you wish to enroll in direct deposit, you may select the financial institution that receives the deposit by timely completing the necessary information on the Site.
Ratings and Performance:
Workers are rated by the Workplace at the conclusion of a Job. The sole means of performance evaluation is in the rating system provided through the Site. We maintain the right to review performance or engage in any disciplinary action. Within a certain time frame after completing a Job, Workplaces can submit a rating (“Rating”) about you. Any Ratings reflect the opinion of the Workplace authorized user and do not reflect the opinion of Spur.
Within a certain time frame after completing a Job, you can submit a rating (also a “Rating”) about the Workplace. Any Ratings reflect the opinion of the Worker and do not reflect the opinion of Spur. Ratings by Workers and Workplaces must be fair, truthful, and factual.
Workers and Workplaces are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings system in any manner, such as instructing a Worker or Workplace to respond positively or negatively about another Worker or Workplace.
You hereby waive any suit, claim, or action against Spur for defamation, slander, libel, or any other tort related to or arising out of Spur’s re-publication of any Rating, and hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Spur harmless for any suit, claim, or action arising out of your Rating of any Workplace.
Additional Warranties and Representations:
You hereby warrant, represent, and agree that, upon each acceptance of a Job:
- You are capable of completing the Job in accordance with the Job requirements as posted on the Site;
- The skills, experience, background, and other information contained in your profile is accurate and not misleading;
- You have not exceeded the maximum work hours permitted by Spur (as described above) for that workday or work week.
Terms Specific to Workplaces:
If you are agreeing to these Terms of Service on behalf of a Workplace, you represent and warrant as follows:
You represent that you have the authority to bind the Workplace (whether a person or legal entity) to the Terms of Service and, in such event,“you” and “your” will refer and apply to that person or legal entity that serves as the Workplace.
You acknowledge and agree that the Site is intended for use only by Workplaces who can request and use temporary Workers through the Site.
While you are responsible for deciding the requirements of a Job, for determining the price to be paid for a Job (subject to Spur’s requirements) and supervising the performance of the Worker during the Job, Spur will at all times be the employer of the Worker performing the Job. As such, we are solely responsible for hiring, firing, and disciplining the Worker, processing time entries and resulting compensation of the Worker, providing employee benefits (if any) to the Worker, providing periodic or ongoing training to Workers, and conducting the overall evaluation of the Worker for purposes of determining whether he or she may continue to use our Site. Spur is the sole entity responsible for receiving complaints from Workers regarding Jobs or otherwise and for notifying Workers of the termination or change of their assigned Job. Workers are required to comply with the Spur Employee Handbook and other policies and procedures of Spur, as adopted from time to time and made available on our Site.
Tax Reporting & Payments:
The Workplace understands and agrees that Workers are employees of Spur. Spur will collect a Form W-4 from each Worker. Spur assumes responsibility for paying such wages to the Worker when due, and withholding and depositing all payroll taxes and other withholdings from such amounts as required by law.
Employee Benefits and Withholding:
As the employer, Spur has the sole discretion to determine whether any employee benefits will be offered to a Worker and the terms thereof. A Worker will not be entitled at any time to any benefits or perquisites offered by a Workplace. You agree not to advise nor represent to any Worker that such Worker shall be covered by or may participate in, any employee benefit plan maintained by you or your affiliates.
I-9 & E-Verify:
As the employer, Spur verifies the identity and employment authorization of each Worker via Form I-9 and E-Verify.
Insurance:
Spur maintain appropriate general, umbrella, professional, crime, technology errors and omissions, and employment practices liability insurance. You may request a copy of Spur’s Certificate of Insurance by contacting Spur’s Legal Department at P.O. Box 107, Huntsville, Alabama 35804 or by email at Legal@SpurJobs.com.
We do not provide any insurance coverage to Workplaces, such as general commercial, professional, or employment practices liability insurance, or workers’ compensation insurance.
Our Relationship:
By accepting the Terms of Service, you acknowledge that the relationship between you and Spur is an independent contractor relationship. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall be deemed to create any form of partnership, principal-agent, employer-employee, or co-employment relationship, or joint venture, between you, Spur or the Worker.
Spur is not a Professional Employer Organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Workers:
You acknowledge that Workers are employees of Spur for the purposes of all federal, state and local employment laws. You agree, however, to the terms of indemnification described below under “Indemnity,” which would include your indemnification for any violation of employment laws by you or your personnel or other agents.
OSHA Compliance:
You represent and warrant that the physical location of any Job will comply with all applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations in effect at the time the Worker performs the Job. Except where prohibited by applicable law or where agreed in a separate written agreement signed by an officer of Spur, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Spur harmless from suits, claims, or other expenses arising out of a violation or alleged violation of any OSHA regulation arising out of any Job or your use of the Site, including but not limited to Spur’s attorney’s fees, court costs, or fines imposed by a government body. You further agree to allow a representative of Spur to conduct an on-site review of the premises where a Job is to be performed if Spur decides, in its sole discretion, that such a review is necessary or advisable.
Job Acceptance:
You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for posting Jobs on the Site. Spur is not obligated to monitor the posting of Jobs, the source of Jobs, the number of Jobs or their frequency. The Workplace agrees that Workers control the acceptance of Jobs in their sole discretion. Spur does not guarantee any rate of acceptance of Jobs, that any particular Job will be accepted, or that any specific Worker will accept a Job, as acceptance of Jobs is fully dependent on the Workers. Spur does not guarantee that a Workplace’s jobs will be filled by Workers or any specific Worker on the Site.
Background Checks and Disclaimer of Warranty:
- **Background Checks:** We or our designated agents or representatives conduct background checks on all Workers from a consumer reporting agency in connection with their request to use the Site for work purposes. You hereby acknowledge that Spur checks the backgrounds of each Worker using a third-party background check service that includes, but is not limited to, a sex offenders registry check, county, state, federal and national criminal records check, and domestic and international terrorist watch list check. You acknowledge that, to the extent that Spur or its designated agent or representative conducts a background check, it does so only upon the Worker’s initial hire by Spur. Additional background checks for specific Job types will be conducted pursuant to a separate agreement between you and Spur as part of that Job’s credential requirement.
- Spur has its own internal minimum standards for Workers, which we apply to background checks performed. Our internal standards are proprietary and sensitive and may change from time to time. Our standards are intended to comply with federal law and to ensure a certain minimal level of qualification under Spur’s own criteria. However, Spur makes no representation that the Workers who satisfy Spur’s standards for background checks have never committed a crime, been arrested, experienced credit problems, filed for bankruptcy, or otherwise engaged in activities that you may deem unconducive to the Job or your Workplace.
Payments to Workers:
- Once a Worker has accepted a Job through the Site, the Worker will be prompted to start and end the Job on the Site to record time worked. After the Worker has completed the Job and indicated such completion, we will process and pay the Worker based on the Job fee agreed upon between the Worker and Workplace at acceptance of the Job. Payment will be made on a weekly basis.
- By accepting these Terms of Service, the Workplace agrees that the rate to be paid per hour by the Workplace, less our portion of such fees, will comply with all applicable federal, state and local minimum wage laws. This means that the minimum hourly compensation to be paid to a Worker (after deduction of our fees) by a Workplace shall be $7.25 per hour, unless applicable minimum wage laws require a higher hourly compensation, in which case the higher hourly compensation will be the minimum hourly compensation paid to a Worker (after deduction of our fees).
Hourly Rate, Payment Method, and Payment Processing Errors:
- **Hourly Rate:** The Workplace sets the hourly pay rate for jobs booked through Spur, provided that, as described above, the wage paid to the Worker (after deduction of Spur’s fee) must satisfy our minimum rate requirements and the applicable federal, state and local minimum wage and other applicable laws. The Worker will start and end each Job via the Site. Once the Worker ends the Job, the Workplace has 24 hours to review the time entered. Any time that is deemed incorrect can be disputed by either the Workplace or the Worker. If the time entered is not disputed by either party within 24 hours, the Job is closed automatically, the Workplace will be responsible for Total Charges, and the Worker will only be entitled to the amount of the agreed upon hourly rate multiplied by the hours recorded minus taxes and Spur Admin costs and any withholdings applicable by law or contract. In limited cases, a Workplace may have a longer period of time for review, but only if set forth in a written agreement between the Workplace and Spur.
- **Extended Shift Fee:** You will be charged an extended shift fee for any shift in which the Worker works 0.5 hours past the scheduled time for such Job, as entered on the Site at the time the Job is posted. The extended shift fee is equivalent to 1.5 of the hourly rate for the Job (including Spur’s fee).
- **Payment Method:** You may elect to pay us either automatically by credit card or automated clearing house (ACH) payment, or we may approve you for invoicing.
- **Credit Card or ACH:** When you add or use a new credit card or ACH payment method, Spur may verify the payment method by authorizing a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the payment method’s local currency. When you add a payment method during account creation, we will automatically save that payment method to Your Account so it can be used for a future transaction. Please note that payment methods involve the use of third-party payment service providers. Your payment method may be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by the applicable third-party payment service provider. Please review these terms and conditions before using a payment method. You authorize the third-party to store your payment method information and charge your payment method as outlined in these payments terms. If your payment method’s account information changes (e.g., account number, routing number, expiration date) it is your responsibility to update the information in order to continue use of the Site. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your payment method information. Spur is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect payment method information provided by you.
- **Invoicing:** If you are approved by Spur for invoicing, we will bill you weekly at the Workplace email address on file. Invoices that are not paid within 15 days of issuance will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (or, if applicable local, state, or federal law mandates a lower maximum rate, such maximum interest rate). A Workplace may have a different payment term, but only if set forth in a written agreement between the Workplace and Spur. We reserve the right, at our sole option and discretion, to permanently or temporarily remove your access to the Site if any invoices remain unpaid 15 days after issuance. We further reserve the right to assign any unpaid invoices to a collection agency. You hereby waive any and all exemptions and agree to pay all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any collection efforts.
- **Payment Processing Errors:** We will take steps to rectify any payment processing errors that we become aware of. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the same payment method used for the original payment by you, so that you end up paying the correct amount.
Ratings and Performance:
Workers are rated by the Workplace at the conclusion of a Job. The sole means of performance evaluation is in the rating system provided through the Site. We maintain the right to review performance or engage in any disciplinary action with respect to any Worker. Within a certain time frame after completing a Job, Workplaces can submit a Rating about the Worker. Any Ratings reflect the opinion of the Workplace authorized user and do not reflect the opinion of Spur. Within a certain time frame after completing a Job, a Worker can submit a Rating about the Workplace. Any Ratings reflect the opinion of the Worker and do not reflect the opinion of Spur. Ratings by Workers and Workplaces must be fair, truthful, and factual.
Workers and Workplaces are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings system in any manner, such as instructing a Worker or Workplace to respond positively or negatively about another Worker or Workplace.
You hereby waive any suit, claim, or action against Spur for defamation, slander, libel, or any other tort related to or arising out of Spur’s re-publication of any Rating, and, except where prohibited by applicable law or otherwise agreed in writing signed by an officer of Spur and you, you hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Spur harmless for any suit, claim, or action arising out of your Rating of any Worker.
Additional Warranties and Representations:
As the Workplace, you warrant, represent, and agree that:
- The Job as described on the Site is a fair and accurate presentation of the work that you wish to have performed by the Worker;
- You have provided any necessary descriptions, instructions, schedules, and specification to the Worker in the Job posting on the Site;
- Any descriptions of the form and scope of the desired Job are reasonably accurate;
- The pay rate specified in the Job acceptance is correct and acceptable to the Workplace;

Some links in the Site or Site may navigate you away from Spur’s Site and/or Site or redirect you to other websites, including websites operated by third parties. Please be aware that those websites may collect personally identifiable information (“PII”) from or about you and non-PII about your visit. The linked sites are not under the control of Spur, and the content available on the Internet sites linked to this Site do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Spur. Spur is providing these links to other Internet sites as a convenience to you, and access to any other Internet sites linked to this Site is at your own risk. The inclusion of any link does not imply a recommendation or endorsement by Spur of the linked site. You should review the terms of use and privacy policies that are posted on any website that you visit, before using any linked websites. Spur accepts no liability for any information, products, advertisements, content, services or software accessible through these third-party websites or for any action you may take as a result of linking to any such website.

Spur shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or losses caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on such content, products, services or other materials available on or through any such website. Spur is not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites.
No Fiduciary Relationship
Except to the extent set forth in writing signed by an officer of Spur and you, there is no fiduciary relationship between you and us. The Terms do not create any relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venture, or in the case of a Worksite employer-employee, between you and us. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.
Right to Monitor
Spur reserves the right to actively monitor the use of the Site and Site and use any information gathered during such monitoring for any permissible purpose under the Privacy Policy. Additionally, Spur may, at any time as it deems appropriate, remove any materials from the Site that, in Spur’s sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject Spur to liability, may violate these Terms of Service, or are, in the sole discretion of Spur, inconsistent with Spur’s purpose for the Site.
Electronic Communications
When you visit the Site or Site or send emails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by email, sending you messages through the Site, or by posting notices on the Site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You further agree that any notices provided by us electronically are deemed to be given and received on the date we transmit any such electronic communication as described in these Terms of Service.
Governing Law and General Principles
This Site is operated by Spur from its offices within the United States of America (“U.S.”). Spur makes no representation that the information in the Site or the Site is appropriate or available for use in other non-U.S. locations, and access to the Site from territories where the contents of the Site may be illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access this Site or the Site from other non-U.S. locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
By using the Site, regardless of where you live or are located in the world, you consent to these Terms of Service and any claims relating to the information, services or products made available through this Site or, in the case of a Worker, your employment by us, will be governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, U.S., excluding the application of its conflicts of law rules.
If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
You may not assign, transfer or delegate these Terms of Service and your rights and obligations hereunder without Spur’s prior written consent. Spur may, without restriction assign, transfer or delegate these Terms of Service and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days prior notice. Your right to terminate these Terms of Service at any time remains unaffected.
Spur’s failure to enforce the strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of Spur’s right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provisions of these Terms of Service.
You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your use of the Site, or your relationship with Spur, must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred. You agree that any violation, or threatened violation, by you of these Terms of Service constitutes an unlawful and unfair business practice that will cause us irreparable and unquantifiable harm. You also agree that monetary damages would be inadequate for such harm and consent to our obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that we deem necessary or appropriate. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity.
Any notices or other communications to Workers and/or Workplaces permitted or required under these Terms of Service will be in writing and given by Spur via Site notifications, except to the extent that another method is required by law or agreed in a writing signed by an officer of Spur and you.
Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions, policies, guidelines or standards, these Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between Spur and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Spur and you in relation to the access to and use of the Site (except to the extent that a separate written agreement provides otherwise and is both signed by an officer of Spur and you and specifically provides that it supersedes any conflicting terms in these Terms of Service).
Arbitration and Class Action
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with your use of the Site, the contents of the Site, these Terms of Service, or in the case of a Worker your employment by us, including the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules (except where prohibited by law). The site of such arbitration shall be Huntsville, Alabama. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and acknowledge and agree that these Terms of Service do not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class, representative, or collective arbitration proceeding. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that the arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You agree that notwithstanding the tribunal’s power to rule on its own jurisdiction and the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate, the tribunal has no power to rule on the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate solely on an individual basis. You agree that in the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining portions of this arbitration agreement will remain in full force and effect. Judgment on any award may be entered by any court having competent jurisdiction, and you specifically agree and waive objection and hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Madison County, Alabama. The provisions of this paragraph notwithstanding, you agree that we may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief against you prior to arbitrating any dispute, controversy, or claim as necessary to protect our interests in the enforcement of these Terms of Service without waiving the arbitration provisions of these Terms of Service.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
SEPARATE AND APART FROM THE FOREGOING ARBITRATION PROVISION, AND IN ADDITION TO SUCH PROVISION, YOU IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT YOU HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, OR IN THE CASE OF A WORKER YOUR EMPLOYMENT BY SPUR. YOU CERTIFY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, YOU HAVE MADE THIS WAIVER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND THAT WE WERE INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
Jurisdiction and Venue
SEPARATE AND APART FROM THE FOREGOING ARBITRATION PROVISION, AND IN ADDITION TO SUCH PROVISION, you agree that any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the transactions contemplated hereby, or in the case of a Worker your employment by Spur, that for any reason is not submitted to arbitration (or in the event the arbitration provision is stricken from this agreement) shall only be instituted in the state or federal courts located in Madison County, Alabama, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action, or proceeding not covered by the arbitration provision set out above. The provisions of this paragraph do not alter, amend, or supersede the requirement that you submit any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Service, the transactions contemplated herein, or in the case of a Worker your employment by Spur, to binding arbitration as spelled out above.
