HonestFlow Terms Of Service

Effective: January, 2024

HonestFlow, LLC (hereinafter, “HonestFlow”, “we”, “us” or “our”) owns and operates (a) the HonestFlow website and its domains located at HonestFlow.com (the “Site”), which enables users to request to be contacted by insurance agencies for homeowner insurance, as further described herein (the “Service”).  Please read these Terms carefully.  These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) constitute a legally binding contract between you and HonestFlow governing your use of the Site, the Service, and any other services, content and/or materials HonestFlow provides or makes available to you through or in connection with your use of the Site and/or Service (collectively, the “Services”).

NOTICE OF AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE:  THESE TERMS CONTAIN DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS (SEE SECTION 10) WHICH, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE (1) THAT YOU SUBMIT DISPUTES YOU HAVE AGAINST HONESTFLOW TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND (2) THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, GROUP, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

NOTICE OF WARRANTY & LIABILITY DISCLAIMERS:  PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT HONESTFLOW DOES NOT PROVIDE WARRANTIES FOR THE SERVICES AND THESE TERMS LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU. PLEASE SEE SECTION 8 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS:  By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms (including, the eligibility requirements in Section 1, and all other terms and conditions specified or referenced herein).  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OR DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS BELOW, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES (OR ANY PART THEREOF) IN ANY MANNER.

1. ELIGIBILITY

You may generally visit and browse the Site if you are at least 13 years of age; however, you must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use the Service, including, but not limited to, for purposes of submitting a request to be contacted by an Agent to receive an insurance quote.  You may not use or access the Services in any manner if you have previously been suspended or removed from using any portion of the Services.

2. OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICE

The Service provides individual consumers that are current or prospective homeowners the ability to submit a request through the Site to be contacted by an insurance agent or agents (each, an “Agent”) to receive a quote to insure their home (an “Insurance Quote”).  The Service is provided free of charge to individual homeowner consumers.  When you submit a request to receive an Insurance Quote, we use your preferences, choices, and interests (for example, the number of Agents from which you would like to receive an Insurance Quote), as well as information regarding your home, such as, the size, features, and location, to refer your request to an Agent or Agents who provides insurance services matching your needs.  Agents, and the insurance products and services they offer, are not our service providers and we do not control the products and services they offer or provide to you, as further described in Section 6 below (Third Party Products and Services).  HonestFlow is not an insurance agent, agency or broker.  We do not provide any insurance products or services of any kind, and we do not broker transactions between you and any Agent.  HonestFlow receives a fee for matching consumers with Agents, which is paid by each Agent that accepts the request for an Insurance Quote from the applicable consumer.  For the avoidance of doubt, use of the Service does not guarantee that you will be contacted by an Agent, or that an Agent will offer or provide you with an insurance policy or any other products or services.

3. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

HonestFlow reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time.  The revised Terms will be posted on our Site at the following webpage HonestFlow.com/terms.  Except as otherwise stated herein, all updates and modifications to the Terms will be effective from the day they are posted online, as indicated by the “Last Updated” date set forth above.  If we make any material changes to these Terms, we will post a prominent notice on our Site.  In addition, if we have an email address on file for you, we may notify you of these changes by sending a notification to such email address.  Material changes to these Terms will become effective on the date set forth in the notice.  It is your responsibility to regularly visit and review these Terms.  If you do not agree to any updates or modifications to these Terms, do not use or access the Services.  Your continued use of the Services (or any part thereof) after the applicable effective date of the revised Terms (as set forth above), signifies to us that you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

You agree that, upon any termination, the licenses granted you hereunder and your right to use the Services will automatically terminate and you will immediately cease any and all access and/or use of the Services.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

10.1 Governing Law.  These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States of America without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in its entirety is expressly excluded from these Terms, including, without limitation, application to the Platform, or any software and services provided hereunder.  THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THIS SECTION 10 ARE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

10.2 Disputes.  Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, you agree that any dispute between you and HonestFlow arising out of or relating to these Terms, our relationship, the Services (or any part thereof), Site Content, and/or any services provided by HonestFlow hereunder (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section.

10.3 Notice of Disputes; Informal Resolution.  A party who intends to seek arbitration or bring other action permitted under this Section 10, must first send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Dispute Notice”). HonestFlow’s address for Dispute Notices is: HonestFlow, LLC, Attention: Notice of Dispute, [1499 W 120th Ave. Suite 110 Westminster, CO 80234].  The Dispute Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought.  You and HonestFlow agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute directly, but if we do not resolve the issue or reach an agreement to continue resolution efforts within 30 days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or HonestFlow may commence an arbitration proceeding or other permitted action, as set forth in this Section 10.  A party electing arbitration must initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the AAA.  The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

10.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving Disputes between you and HonestFlow in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, and except as described in Section 10.8, you and HonestFlow agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding individual (not class) arbitration (the “Agreement to Arbitrate”). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court.  Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This Agreement to Arbitrate includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU AND HONESTFLOW WAIVE YOUR/ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.  THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.  The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

10.5 Arbitration.  Any arbitration between you and HonestFlow will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by this Section 10.5.  You and we agree that the following rules will apply to the proceedings: (a) the arbitration will be heard and determined by a single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules; (b) the arbitration will take place in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location; (c) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (d) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise), and provided that, Disputes that involve a claim of more than $10,000 USD must be resolved per the AAA’s rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person; and (e) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.  All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.  Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

10.6 Fees & Costs.  You are responsible for paying your portion of the fees set forth in the AAA fee schedule and HonestFlow will be responsible for the remainder of the fees.  If you believe you cannot afford the AAA fees, you may apply to AAA for a fee waiver.  If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse HonestFlow for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Rules.  The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

10.7 Opting-Out of Arbitration.  If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to HonestFlow, LLC, Attention: Arbitration Opt-Out, [1499 W 120th Ave. Suite 110 Westminster, CO 80234], that specifies: your full legal name, the email address used to register an Account (if applicable), and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once HonestFlow receives your Opt-Out Notice, the Agreement to Arbitrate will be void and the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 10.10 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.  The remaining provisions of this Section 10 will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

10.8 Exception to Arbitration.  Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate any of HonestFlow’s intellectual property rights, HonestFlow may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court with competent jurisdiction in any country, including in the State of Colorado, United States of America, without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute process set forth in this Section, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts.  In addition, despite the Agreement to Arbitrate, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration.

10.9 No Class Actions. YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH HONESTFLOW ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS AREN'T ALLOWED UNDER THESE TERMS.

10.10 Enforceability; Venue. If the Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to your or our claim, you and HonestFlow agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts located in Denver County, Colorado. Both you and HonestFlow consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

10.11 Time Limitation to Bring Claims.  Notwithstanding any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services (or any part thereof), Site Content, and/or any services provided by HonestFlow hereunder must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, otherwise that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

11. GENERAL

Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under these Terms are assignable by you, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect.  Any waiver of any provision of these Terms must be in writing and executed by both parties.  The failure of either party to exercise any right provided for by these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right.  If any term or provision of these Terms is determined to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, that provision shall be stricken from these Terms and shall not affect the legality, enforceability or validity of the remainder of the provisions set forth in these Terms. The parties acknowledge and agree that they are dealing with each other as independent contractors and nothing in these Terms and its performance shall be construed as creating a joint venture or agency between HonestFlow and you.  HonestFlow may delegate the performance of any services hereunder to its affiliates and contractors.  These Terms are not intended to grant rights to anyone except you and HonestFlow, and these Terms shall not create any third party beneficiary rights.  These Terms and any other policies or terms and conditions referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter, and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements or communications with regard to the subject matter described.  Any notice to you may be provided by email.  The headings of Sections of these Terms are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting these Terms.  As used in these Terms, the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” You agree that these Terms will not be construed against HonestFlow by virtue of having drafted them.  The official text of these Terms (and any notice submitted hereunder) will be in English.  The parties acknowledge that they require that these Terms be drawn up in the English language only.   In the event of any dispute concerning the construction or meaning of these Terms, reference will be made only to these Terms as written in English and not to any translation into another language.
