DAPPLE SERVICES

Nature of Dapple’s Service. Dapple offers you the use of our desktop web application, mobile application, and other related tools, support, and services that Farriers can use to schedule services and process payments for horse owners, trainers, and any other person who has a legal right to care or make decisions for a horse (“Clients”). Your use of our Service is solely authorized for supporting your business, and for Clients, solely for your personal use.

Dapple does not Provide Horse Care Services. Dapple is a neutral venue for Farriers. Dapple is not a Farrier and, except for resources and support specifically described in the Service, does not provide any horse care services. We make no representations or warranties about the quality of horse shoeing, horse handling, horse training, horse schooling, horse boarding, horse therapy, or any other services provided by Farriers (“Horse Care Services”), or about your interactions and dealings with other Users through the Service. Farriers available through Dapple are not under the direction or control of Dapple, and Farriers determine, in their own discretion, how to provide Horse Care Services. Dapple does not employ, recommend, or endorse Farriers or Clients, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be responsible or liable for the performance or conduct of Farriers or Clients, whether online or offline. Farriers should exercise caution and use independent judgment before providing Horse Care Services or otherwise interacting with users via the Service. Clients and Farriers are solely responsible for making decisions that are in the best interests of themselves and the horses.

Transactions are Between Clients and Service Providers. Dapple may be used to facilitate scheduling and payment for Horse Care Services, but all services provided and transactions conducted via the Service are between Clients and Farriers.

After this, you will no longer receive text messages from us, unless you thereafter provide consent. If you are experiencing issues with the text messaging program, you can get help directly at info@letsdapple.com. Neither the carriers nor Dapple shall be liable for delayed or undelivered messages. As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us, and to us from you. Message frequency may vary.

Where it is permitted by law, Dapple may rely on implied consent. You also represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents for any communications to your employees and Clients that are facilitated by or delivered via our Service.

COMMUNICATIONS ON YOUR BEHALF

In the event you instruct or authorize Dapple to communicate with third parties on your behalf (including your Clients), whether via telephone calls, SMS messaging, emails, or otherwise, you hereby represent and warrant that you and Dapple are authorized to engage in such communications, that you shall be deemed to be the sender or originator of such communications, and that such communications shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, CAN-SPAM, and Federal, State and internal Do-Not-Call lists, as well as any applicable privacy laws and regulations.

FEES AND PAYMENT

Currency. All fees, deductible amounts, and other payments referenced on, or charged through, the Service are listed and payable in local currency. Any and all dollar amounts in this Agreement refer to U.S. dollars.

Service Fees. We charge a service fee equal to $0.49 for every invoice your clients pay for your services, per horse. This fee will be directly taken out of the payment made by your clients. Additionally, Dapple will take 10% of all tips received through our platform (e.g. if client adds a $5 tip above the amount of the invoice, Dapple will retain 50 cents from the tip). A payment processing fee (also known as a “convenience fee”) will be charged to your customer directly, if they choose to pay via credit card, debit card or ACH, and are therefore reflected on their invoices. Farriers will not be charged any Stripe fees, nor will they receive any portion of the convenience fee. Farriers must receive payments on a minimum of four invoices sent a month, or mark the invoice as paid via cash or check and pay the $0.49 directly in app in order to use the Service. If the Farrier does not meet the Invoice Minimum in any month, Dapple may suspend the Farrier’s account. The Farrier may request that Dapple reactivate the account and if Dapple agrees in its sole discretion to reactivate the account, then Dapple reserves the right to charge the Farrier a reactivation fee no greater than one hundred dollars ($100). The initial payout by Stripe is delayed and will take 7-14 days to receive, but after the first delayed payout period, you will receive money paid within 3-5 business days of the client paying the invoice, with most credit card payments processed within 24 hours. For more information on Stripe payouts, please review Stripe documentation.

Payment Disputes; Payment Outside of the Service. Dapple initiates payments to Farriers twenty four (24) hours after receiving invoiced amounts from a Client. Once these amounts have been disbursed, any further payment disputes are between the Clients and Farriers, and Dapple has no obligation to mediate or facilitate any resolution. Further, Dapple has no responsibility or liability with respect to any tips, bonuses, or other payments made outside of the Service.

Payment Holds. If you are a Farrier, Dapple reserves the right to issue a hold on amounts otherwise payable to you if there is a reasonable suspicion of fraudulent activity involving your account(s) or for other similarly compelling reasons involving protection of Dapple, the Dapple community, or third party rights. We may also recommend that third party payment service providers restrict your access to funds in your account under the foregoing circumstances.

Authorization to Charge. When you are paid for Horse Care Services or for other services on Dapple, you will be required to provide us with valid, up-to-date payment information and to maintain that payment information (or an acceptable alternative payment method) on file with your account so long as you have any outstanding or unpaid bookings. Dapple’s role is to facilitate payments from Clients to Farriers as a limited payment agent for the Farrier.

Taxes. Except for taxes on Dapple’s income and gross receipts or where Dapple is otherwise required to collect taxes, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible to pay any applicable taxes that arise as a result of your provision or use of Horse Care Services via the Service. This includes, without limitation, any form of sales tax, VAT, or income tax on fees paid or received by you through the Service.

Payment Processing. Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Services Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/legal), and, if you are receiving payments via the Service, the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/connect-account/legal) (collectively, the “Stripe Terms”). In order to use the Service to receive payment, you will be required to set up a Stripe account and accept the Stripe Terms. The first payout is delayed and will take 7 days to receive, but after that first 7-day payout period, you will receive money paid within 24 hours of the customer paying the invoice. You authorize Dapple to obtain all necessary access to, and perform all necessary activity on (including requesting refunds where appropriate), your Stripe Connected Account to facilitate payment related to Horse Care Services. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information about you and your business, and authorize Dapple to share it and transaction information with Stripe for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services. Dapple reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors or use alternate or backup vendors in its discretion.

Adding Different Payment Method. Unpaid invoices with a horse invoiced more than once will result in app suspension. Users must process invoices as paid by cash, check, or other payment method if you are accepting payments that way and using the app for scheduling.

BETA SERVICES

Dapple offers all of its products, services, and content on an “as-is” basis. This includes, but is not limited to, any products, services, or content relating to booking, scheduling, and invoicing. We may change terms, including pricing, for any products or services, and discontinue any products or services, upon prior notice to you.

Beta Testing. You may from time to time be invited to participate in the alpha or beta testing of a new proposed product or service (“Beta Product”), which may be free, or for which there may be fees. Unless you enter into a separate beta agreement with regard to any such Beta Product, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Beta Product is not an official product and has not been commercially released for sale by Dapple; (b) the Beta Product is provided “as is”, and may not operate properly or be fully functional; (c) the Beta Product may contain errors, design flaws, or other problems; (d) use of the Beta Product may result in unexpected results, loss of data or communications, or other unpredictable damage or loss; and (e) Dapple has the right to abandon development of the Beta Product at any time and without any obligation or liability to you. You are solely responsible for maintaining and protecting all data and information that is retrieved, extracted, transformed, loaded, stored, or otherwise processed by the Beta Product.

The Service is not intended to subject Dapple to any non-U.S. jurisdiction or law. Dapple makes no representation that the information or materials on or linked through the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. If a User chooses to access the Service from other locations, it does so on its own initiative and at its own risk and is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in its respective location in doing so.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Class Action Waiver.

YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND DAPPLE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE COURT MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE COURT 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). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER DAPPLE SERVICE USERS.

Arbitration Agreement.

You agree that, unless prohibited by any applicable laws, any legal disputes or claims that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to binding arbitration in California (the “Arbitration Agreement”). The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree that in no event shall any claim, action, or proceeding by you related in any way to the Service be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise: (a) limit the right to bring an individual (non-class, non-representative) action in small claims court so long as such action remains in small claims court; (b) limit the right to pursue a private attorney general action where arbitration cannot be required under applicable law; (c) limit the right to seek injunctive relief in a court of law; (d) limit the right to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim; or (e) limit Dapple’s right to file suit to collect unpaid amounts from you.

You can choose to reject your agreement to arbitration and your waiver of the right to bring or participate in class or representative actions by mailing us a written opt-out notice ("Opt-Out Notice") in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days after the date you accept these Terms of Service for the first time. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to Dapple LLC, 4653 Carmel Mountain Rd #308, PMB 1127, San Diego, CA 92130. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to the Arbitration Agreement and class action waiver and must include your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to register for the Service to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Arbitration Agreement and class action waiver. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate and the waiver of the right to participate in class and representative actions, none of the arbitration provisions will apply to you and you will not waive your right to engage in class or representative actions, but the remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of this Arbitration Agreement and did not validly opt out of it.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dapple, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, partners, and employees from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, or suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from or arising out of (a) any of your acts or omissions, (b) any violation or breach by you of this Agreement, (c) claims from your employees or Clients, or (d) any claim that any of the Materials, or your use of the Service, violates any law or regulation or any right of any third party, including any right of privacy, or infringes upon any intellectual property rights of any third party.

NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

Except as otherwise set forth expressly herein, nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity, other than Dapple and the Farriers, any benefit, right, or remedy.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

Dapple and Farriers are separate and independent entities, and the employee of one of those entities is not an employee of the other entity. We are not an agent of the Farriers and vice versa. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer, worker, or employee of the other. Neither party will have, nor hold itself out to any third party as having, any authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that will be binding on the other, except as provided herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Dapple and supersede all oral and written negotiations, communications, or representations of the parties, whether verbal or in writing, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as may be provided in a written agreement signed by you and an authorized officer of Dapple. These Terms of Service may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement signed by both parties. No employee, agent, or other representative of Dapple has any authority to bind Dapple with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in these Terms of Service.

MISCELLANEOUS

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from this Agreement and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions. The failure by Dapple to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not prevent Dapple from enforcing such right or provision in the future.

Dapple shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, fires, accidents, pandemics, disease, strikes, or other similar disasters. Dapple may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, any other business combination or restructuring, or by operation of law. Users may not assign their rights and obligations under this Agreement, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law, without Dapple’s prior written consent. Dapple may send notices pursuant to this Agreement to User’s email and phone number provided by User, and such notices will be deemed received at the time they are sent. It is the User’s obligation to keep User’s contact information up to date. Users may send notice pursuant to this Agreement to the email address below.
