THE PLATFORM

BMG is an innovative aggregator platform meticulously designed to bridge the gap between providers and requesters of goods and services within a vibrant, community-driven network enabling seamless interactions between individuals who offer a diverse range of accommodations, products, and services (“Providers”) and those actively seeking these valuable resources (“Requesters”).

Providers may list on the Platform, accommodations, either entire places (when they are not in residence) or shared accommodations (when they are present with the guest) which may be availed by the Requesters in need of such accommodations (“Accommodation”), products for temporary rental or sale transfer to the Requesters who seek to acquire these products (“Products”) and a range of services (“Services”) which the Requesters  may avail on the terms and conditions that may be agreed between the Providers and the Requesters.  

The Platform features a wide range of Accommodations, such as short-term rentals, vacation homes, and unique stays, along with various Products that cater to diverse needs and interests, ensuring that Users have access to a comprehensive selection of options. Additionally, the Services offered span multiple categories including without limitation, childcare (e.g., babysitting, fun activities excluding medical and health care services), pet care (e.g., dog walking and pet sitting), transportation (e.g., carpooling), travel assistance (e.g., travel buddies), domestic support (e.g., cooking and personal training), logistical solutions (e.g., shipping), and creative endeavors (e.g., photography), etc. Requesters utilize the Platform to find and  avail these offerings. They can explore the extensive catalog of available Accommodations, Products, and Services to find the solutions that best meet their specific needs.

Providers earn BMG Points (“BMG Points”) from Requesters in exchange for offering Accommodations, Products, and Services. For each Accommodation, Product, or Service provided, Providers have the autonomy to set the amount of corresponding BMG Points payable for the same. This means that Providers can establish their own point values depending on factors such as the type, quality, or duration of the offering. The final number of BMG Points charged for any given Accommodation, Product, or Service is entirely at the discretion of the Provider, reflecting their individual assessment of the value they provide and BMG does not play any role in assessing the correctness of the value or otherwise.

The essence of BMG lies in its commitment to fostering a collaborative and supportive community. By facilitating these meaningful connections, BMG aspires to cultivate an environment where Users can both offer and receive offerings, thereby enhancing communal bonds which would foster a culture of shared resources and mutual support.

The User must be at least eighteen years old in order to access or use the Services. By completing the registration form, the User certifies that they are at least eighteen years old.

Registration and Account Creation:

To register for an account on the Platform, the User must provide personal information such as their first and last name, date of birth, phone number, and email address. Registration can be completed by entering an email address or using login information from a third-party social networking platform to access specific sections and features.

By registering for an account, the User agrees to provide accurate, truthful, current, and complete information as requested during the registration process, and to promptly update their account information to ensure its accuracy and completeness. The User is responsible for securing their account by protecting their password and restricting access to their account.

Each User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and must not disclose them to anyone. The User is responsible for any use of their login by a third party and for any actions or statements made by a third party through their account, whether fraudulent or not, and releases BMG from any liability related to such claims. BMG also declines any responsibility in the case of identity theft. If a User suspects that their identity or account is being used fraudulently, they must immediately notify the BMG Team. In the event of the loss or theft of their account credentials, the User must promptly change their credentials and will be solely responsible for any damages related to such loss or theft.

Users agree to create and/or use only one BMG account. Any exceptions to this rule require prior written approval from BMG. Accounts created in violation of this policy will be subject to immediate suspension and/or termination.

Account Verification

When a User creates an Account, the BMG team will initiate a verification process for the User's name, address, telephone number, and email address. The User is required to provide proof of address and a valid form of identification. BMG reserves the exclusive right to accept or reject the documentation provided for verification at its sole discretion.

Email address and phone number verification are conducted through an automated service. BMG may use the services of a third party for the conducting a verification.Verified email addresses and phone numbers will be indicated as such in the User’s profile. Once a User’s address, name, telephone number, and email address have been successfully verified, the User will be designated as a "Verified User" in their profile.

However, the verification of a User’s email address or phone number does not guarantee the accuracy or authenticity of any content or listings provided by that User. BMG does not conduct investigations into or verify a User’s reputation, conduct, morality, criminal background, or any other information submitted by Users. Users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with other Users, especially when meeting strangers in person for the first time.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BMG, along with our directors, members, employees, or agents, shall not be held liable for any special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of use, loss of profits, or loss of data, whether such damages arise from an action in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Any issues related to the use of or inability to use our Platform.

The cost associated with the replacement of any Accommodation, Products, Services, or information purchased or obtained as a result of transactions or information obtained through our Platform.

Unauthorized disclosure of, access to, or alteration of your content.

Actions or omissions by you or any other Users in connection with the use of our Platform.

Any other issues arising from, relating to, or connected with our Platform or these Terms.

Our total liability to the Users or any third party for any claim arising from or relating to our offerings or these Terms shall not exceed the sum of one hundred US dollars ($100).

By using our Platform, the Users acknowledge and agree to these limitations of liability, and they understand that these limitations are a fundamental basis of our Agreement with them.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1 THIRD PARTY DISPUTES AND EXEMPTION

Users will remain solely responsible for any claims, demands, or damages arising out of the breach of any third party agreements or obligations to which the Users or their Accommodations, Products or Services are subject, including, but not limited to, licenses, leases, insurance policies, homeowners association bylaws, condominium or cooperative board rules, and state and local laws. The Users hereby unconditionally and forever release BMG from all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of any third party agreement or obligation to which the User or its Accommodation, Product or Service is subject.

17.2 ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

In case of any dispute with BMG, the User and BMG shall first resolve such a dispute by mutual discussion. This provision shall only apply to disputes between the Users you and BMG arising under these Terms or our Privacy Policy, and not to any dispute between Users inter-se or Users and third persons. You may send a written description of your dispute. If, for any reason, the dispute is not satisfactorily resolved within ninety (90) days after BMG receives a written description of it, the Parties agree to the arbitration provisions below.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, by agreeing to these Terms and by using the Platform, Users agree that any dispute between the Users and BMG arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Privacy Policy that is not satisfactorily resolved within ninety (90) days, shall be resolved by arbitration ("Arbitration"), conducted by a retired superior court judge or an impartial person selected from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association, to hear the dispute in New Jersey, using the commercial arbitration rules of American Arbitration (the "Applicable Rules"). The Parties may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in New Jersey, necessary to protect the rights and property of BMG pending completion of the arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant any compensation that would be available in a court of law or in equity, and any award by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on each party. The arbitrator shall not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator shall apply the applicable law and the provisions of these Terms (or our Privacy Policy, if applicable) and any failure to do so shall be considered an abuse of arbiter’s power and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator's decision shall include a written explanation and shall remain confidential. If any provision of this arbitration agreement contained in this section is found to be unenforceable, such provision shall be deleted, and the remaining terms of arbitration shall be enforced (but in no event shall there be collective, representative, or private arbitration by the attorney general). For purposes of this section, these Terms and related transactions shall be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). In addition, this section does not preclude a party from seeking interim relief in favor of the Arbitration in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. This section shall survive any removal from the Platform. If it is determined that the above arbitration provisions do not apply to you or to a particular claim or controversy, either as a result of your decision or as a result of an arbitrator's decision or court order, you agree that any claim shall be resolved exclusively in a state or federal court located in New Jersey. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in New Jersey for the purpose of resolving any such claim or controversy. The parties are bound by the results of the Arbitration and the result of the Arbitration is final. You agree to service of process by email to the email address you have registered on the Platform. The parties shall each bear their own costs of the Arbitration. The prevailing party in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover costs, expert witness fees, attorneys' fees, and arbitrator's fees.

17.3 NULLITY WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW

The Platform and its content are intended to comply with the laws and regulations of the United States. BMG reserves the right to limit the access to the Platform to any User, geographic area, or jurisdiction and/or to limit the quantities of any service we provide. Any offer of service made on the Platform is void where prohibited.

17.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; NO CLASS ACTION

The Parties acknowledge and agree that they waive the right to a jury trial for all disputes submitted to arbitration. They further acknowledge and agree that each of them waives the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, class arbitration, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding for any disputes. In addition, no appointed arbitrator may preside over any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is found to be inapplicable with respect to any dispute, the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void with respect to such dispute.

GOVERNING LAW

For Users within the United States, the laws of the State of New Jersey shall apply.

These governing laws apply unless federal, state, provincial, local, or international laws, rules, regulations, directives, judgments, or orders that are binding on you require that the Agreement or your use of the Platform be governed by the laws of the country where the task is performed. This provision is intended only to specify the laws used to interpret the Agreement and does not grant any non-residents of the specified country, province, or state the right to assert claims under those laws, whether by statute, common law, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this provision prevents BMG from bringing legal proceedings in any competent court to protect our intellectual property rights.

NOTICES

Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications (collectively referred to as "Notices") under the Agreement must be in writing. Notices will be considered properly given when received, whether they are personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested; when receipt is confirmed electronically, if sent via facsimile or email; or on the day indicated by the tracking information of an overnight delivery service, if sent for next-day delivery.

Notwithstanding the above, any Notices referenced in the Agreement will be delivered to you electronically (including, but not limited to, email or by posting Notices on the Sites), and you agree to receive Notices in this manner. All electronic Notices provided to you will fulfill any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

REPORTING MISCONDUCT

If Users encounter anyone through our Platform who they believe is behaving inappropriately, such as engaging in offensive, violent, or sexually inappropriate conduct, stealing from them, or engaging in any other troubling behavior, we strongly encourage them to report the individual to the appropriate authorities immediately. Additionally, Users should notify us by contacting us through the BMG Help Center. While we urge Users to report any misconduct, please be aware that BMG is not responsible or liable for the actions of its Users and is not obligated to take any specific action in response.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.   Relationship of the Parties:

The Agreement and the use of the Platform do not create, nor are intended to create, any agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, or franchiser-franchisee relationship between Users and BMG. Users do not have the authority to act as representatives or agents for, or to bind BMG in any manner.

Entire Agreement:

This Agreement (including any Terms linked to in, and incorporated by reference into, these Terms) represents the complete and exclusive understanding between Users and BMG regarding their use of the Platform, and it replaces all prior agreements, proposals, or communications on this subject. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be interpreted in a way that makes them valid, legal, and enforceable.

Severability; Waiver

If any provision of the Agreement is found to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, (1) that provision will be modified or restructured as necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, or (2) if it cannot be modified or restructured, it will be removed from the Agreement without affecting the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions. A failure by BMG to enforce any provision of the Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any right or provision.

Users acknowledge and agree that BMG may assign or transfer the Agreement without needing your consent. In such cases, BMG will notify the Users of the assignment, and they may, if legally permissible, terminate the Agreement and stop using the Platform. From the effective date of the assignment, (a) BMG will be relieved of all rights, obligations, and liabilities related to events occurring after the effective date of the assignment, and (b) the assignee will assume BMG's role in fulfilling the Agreement. Users may not assign or transfer the Agreement without our prior written approval. Any unauthorized assignment will be considered null and void. The Agreement benefits BMG, its successors, and assigns. Any provisions of the Agreement that, by their nature, should survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement will remain in effect even after the Agreement or your use of the Platform ends.

Language of the Agreement

The Agreement, both in whole and in part, is drafted in English. In the event of any discrepancies between the English version of the Agreement and any translated versions, the English text will take precedence.

Headings

Headings of sections are for convenience only and shall not be used to limit or construe such sections.
