MARINEPROJECTMATCH.COM USER AGREEMENT

This document describes the terms with which MarineProjectMatch.com offers you access to our services. This agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services available under the MarineProjectMatch.com domain. Once you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you hereby agree and acknowledge that at anytime and in our sole discretion, we may effectively modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement by posting the modified Agreement with its new terms and conditions on the MarineProjectMatch.com website. All modified terms and conditions shall take effect immediately after posting to the MarineProjectMatch.com website. You agree and consent to any and all modified terms and conditions hereunder. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, and/or changed by you in any manner. Furthermore, you agree that we may modify this Agreement or discontinue our website at anytime and without notice and without any liability or responsibility to you. This agreement is effective on September 1, 2009 for all users.

1. MarineProjectMatch.com is a Neutral Venue. MarineProjectMatch.com is not a contractor, marine expert or broker. Our site acts as a venue where marine CUSTOMERs seeking marine-related services can meet and enter into agreements with Service Providers. We are not involved in the actual transaction between marine CUSTOMERs and Service Providers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legal aspects of the transactions that take place on our website. MarineProjectMatch.com does not prequalify or validate the claims of the Service Providers including with respect to their licensure, insurance and registration. We and our website function solely as a neutral venue and digital clearinghouse where two parties may agree on a price for a particular type of service. We are the neutral venue for this connection between you and other members. We do not provide any endorsement for you or your services, you acknowledge and agree that we do not provide the services and we are not in any way responsible for assisting you in any manner with your provision of the services. We cannot and will not guarantee the ability of members to complete payment for any of the provided services. Furthermore, due to the difficulty of individual authentication, especially on the Internet, we cannot and will not in any manner verify or confirm the identity or ability of members to pay for the provided services. You acknowledge and agree that any and all communications, correspondence, verbal or written, or any warranties or representations, made with regard to the services are not provided by us and are specifically and solely between you and the other member. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between CUSTOMERS and SERVICE PROVIDERS, we have no control over the accuracy of listings, the ability of SERVICE PROVIDERs to carry out repairs or restorations, or the ability of CUSTOMERS to contract with SERVICE PROVIDERS. We cannot ensure that a CUSTOMER or SERVICE PROVIDER will actually complete a marine project pursuant to agreed terms and conditions.
2. Membership. Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Our services are not available to minors or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended MarineProjectMatch.com members. Minors may only use this service in conjunction with their parents or guardians. Your MarineProjectMatch.com membership may not be transferred or sold to another party. If you are registering as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this agreement. Members who engage in the repair or restoration of boats must have a valid license to perform services. You agree that the website is for services only and that work that you provide will only involve services. You agree that you will not use your participation in the MarineProjectMatch.com website as a means to sell or market any types of goods or products, unless specifically allowed by MarineProjectMatch.com.
3. Other Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge and agree that we have the sole discretion to set forth and post additional terms and conditions for your use of the website at various places throughout the website. You agree that those additional terms and conditions shall be considered an effective amendment to this Agreement and said terms and conditions shall be incorporated herein. Furthermore, You expressly agree that if there is any conflict between those additional terms and conditions and the specific terms and conditions set forth herein, the terms and conditions set forth herein shall govern.
4. Fees. There are currently no fees to join MarineProjectMatch.com and no required listing fees for services. MarineProjectMatch.com may collect a nominal Service Charge from CUSTOMERS in certain categories if and when a bid is accepted. The amount for such an Service Charge, if any, will be displayed for CUSTOMERS before they accept any bid. SERVICE PROVIDERS are charged a base transaction match fee based on a tiered percentage of their accepted bid price.

The tiered match fee structure is as follows:
12.9% (applies to the first $500 of the accepted bid price),
10.9% ($500.01-$1500),
8.9% ($1500.01-$3000),
6.9% ($3000.01-$5000),
4.9% ($5000.01 and Above),

There is a minimum match fee of $19.99 on all submitted bids.
For example, a match price of $3,200.00 would be charged a match fee of $220.80. This Fee is only charged if a SERVICE PROVIDERS bid is accepted by the CUSTOMER. Please see the table below for the tiered breakdown for this example:

SERVICE PROVIDERS can still accrue a monthly invoiceable balance by purchasing various other products and/or services in the marketplace, such as third party offerings and/or past due balances on their account. If in any billing period, we are not able to charge the SERVICE PROVIDERS credit card on file the full amount owed us, MarineProjectMatch.com reserves the right to charge the credit card for fees associated with specific matches or transactions that occurred on our site. Account credits resulting from prepaid deposits will offset the fees due to MarineProjectMatch.com. MarineProjectMatch.com reserves the right to waive or change our fees, penalties, or interest at any time. We may temporarily change or suspend our fees as a promotion and such changes are effective for the promotional period described on our website. All fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are solely responsible for paying all fees associated with using our services as well as all applicable taxes. You are responsible for all actions taken with your username and password, including fees. We recommend that you not disclose your MarineProjectMatch.com password or any account sensitive information to any third parties.
5. Deposits. When a CUSTOMER accepts a bid, they are required to pre-pay a deposit in the amount of the SERVICE PROVIDERS transaction fee. This deposit is collected by MarineProjectMatch.com and credited to the SERVICE PROVIDERS' MarineProjectMatch.com account. The deposit amount is then deducted from the accepted bid amount, and the CUSTOMER pays the balance directly to the SERVICE PROVIDER. For example, if the total accepted bid is $3200.00, then based on the tiered transaction fee, the CUSTOMER will pay an amount equal to the $320.80 fee. The deposit amount of $320.80 is collected by MarineProjectMatch.com and credited to the SERVICEPROVIDER MarineProjectMatch.com account. The CUSTOMER then pays the remaining balance of $2879.20 directly to the SERVICE PROVIDER. The pre-paid deposit is refundable to the CUSTOMER in the event of a match cancellation or in a dispute where the SERVICE PROVIDERis determined to be at fault. The CUSTOMER deposit/fee is non-refundable in the event of a completed work transaction. MarineProjectMatch.com is not responsible for any monetary disputes that reside with a SERVICE PROVIDER or CUSTOMER; it is the responsibility of both the SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER to resolve all monetary disputes, damage claims, breach of contract claims, etc. outside of MarineProjectMatch.com.
6. Authorization to Credit and Debit Accounts. You irrevocably and expressly authorize MarineProjectMatch.com to credit any monies to the account that you have identified for MarineProjectMatch.com. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid, non-expired credit card on file with us while engaging in activity on our website. You agree that if you do not maintain a valid, non-expired card on file with us during any billing attempt, you may be subject to interest and penalties as enumerated above. You irrevocably and expressly authorize MarineProjectMatch.com to withhold any monies and/or debit any monies from any account that you have identified to MarineProjectMatch.com for any charge backs, fees, costs, deductions, adjustments and any other amounts owed to MarineProjectMatch.com. We reserve our rights to all actions and remedies in connection with any monies owed to MarineProjectMatch.com. You will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless for any claims, demands or causes of actions that we take toward any identified account pursuant to this Section.
7. Charge backs. Unwarranted charge backs initiated by MarineProjectMatch.com members against MarineProjectMatch.com are prohibited and will result in the suspension of your MarineProjectMatch.com account, and may result in MarineProjectMatch.com pursuing any and all options at its disposal to collect the withdrawn funds including, but not limited to, sending your unpaid account to a collections agency. In the event that services were not performed, all members must abide by the MarineProjectMatch.com Cancellation Policy described in Section 9 of this agreement. The MarineProjectMatch.com Cancellation Process ensures the integrity of the feedback system and accuracy of any refund.
There are situations where a chargeback may be warranted, such as when a card holder feels that their card has been charged fraudulently and/or there is a discrepancy with the billed amount. Prior to any chargeback initiation, MarineProjectMatch.com must be notified by the card holder so that MarineProjectMatch.com may investigate the claim to determine if a chargeback is appropriate. A chargeback may not be filed as a replacement, or an addition to, a cancellation of a MarineProjectMatch.com transaction.
If an unwarranted chargeback of the CUSTOMER deposit is initiated and accepted by the credit card processor or other entity, MarineProjectMatch.com reserves the right to charge the SERVICE PROVIDER for any costs associated with the chargeback. This deposit represents a portion of the total match price and is credited to the SERVICE PROVIDER'S MarineProjectMatch.com account to offset any match fees. If a chargeback is accepted, the SERVICE PROVIDER becomes responsible for that invoiceable amount.
The CUSTOMER deposit/fee is non-refundable in the event of a completed project transaction. MarineProjectMatch.com is not responsible for any monetary disputes that reside with a SERVICE PROVIDER or CUSTOMER; it is the responsibility of both, the SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER to resolve all monetary disputes, damage claims, breach of contract claims, etc. outside of MarineProjectMatch.com.
8. Unpaid Fees. If, for any reason, any fees have not been received or in any manner realized by MarineProjectMatch.com on matches that have been completed by you for the services and any additional services performed by you ("Unpaid Fees"), you agree to pay such Unpaid Fees immediately. If in any billing period, we are not able to charge your credit card on file the full amount owed us we reserve the right to charge your credit card for fees associated with specific matches or transactions that occurred on our site. If in any billing period, we are not able to charge your credit card on file the full amount owed us, MarineProjectMatch.com may charge your account a penalty of no more than $10 for every billing period that your account remains unpaid. In addition, MarineProjectMatch.com may charge interest, in the amount of 1.5%per month or fraction thereof, on any unpaid account balance that you maintain. Any partial payments made to members' account balances will first be applied to the most recent fees owed us. If anytime after 30 days we cannot collect any fees owed to us, we may suspend or terminate your account or, at our discretion, put your account into the MarineProjectMatch.com Financial Probation Program, which allows you to continue to place bids and win business in the MarineProjectMatch.com marketplace while being subjected to a higher match fee (currently 10.0%) that is paid directly to us by the CUSTOMER as a deposit prior to the CUSTOMER accepting a bid from You. This deposit reduces the money that you may collect from the CUSTOMER by the exact amount of the deposit paid by the CUSTOMER. If you subsequently payoff your entire balance owed to MarineProjectMatch.com, you may be removed from the MarineProjectMatch.com Financial Probation Program. MarineProjectMatch.com reserves the right to waive or change our fees, penalties, or interest at any time. You also agree to pay any attorney fees, and other costs of collection incurred by us with respect to any Unpaid Fees. You also consent and authorize us to in our sole discretion make appropriate reports to 3rd party credit collection agencies, credit reporting agencies, financial institutions, tax agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with them in any resulting investigation or prosecution.
9. Match Cancellations and Refunds. A "Cancellation" occurs when either party has to cancel AFTER a bid was accepted on MarineProjectMatch.com but BEFORE any services are performed. After a bid is accepted and the two parties communicate directly, occasionally one or both of the parties determine that they cannot complete the transaction. Cancellations should only be requested after reasonable attempts have been made to reach an agreeable solution and it is certain that the services that were booked on MarineProjectMatch.com will not be performed. When you request a cancellation, the other party will be notified and will have 72 hours to respond by either:
If your Request for Cancellation is accepted by the other party, the match will be cancelled and the project can either be relisted or deleted. If your Request is disputed by the other member, then the Request will be sent to MarineProjectMatch.com and a determination will be made on allowing or not allowing the Cancellation. If the other party does not respond within the 72 hour period, the cancellation and reason will be automatically accepted. Once a cancellation is accepted, any refunds associated with the CUSTOMER deposit /Service Charge will be refunded to the CUSTOMER. The refund will be issued back to the form of payment the CUSTOMER used to pay for the deposit / Service Charge. MarineProjectMatch.com is not responsible if the refund is issued to an account that is closed. It is up to the CUSTOMER to inform MarineProjectMatch.com of any issue with the form of payment prior to a refund being issued.
Every member is allowed 1 free cancellation for every 10 matches (10%) on MarineProjectMatch.com. Each Excessive Cancellation, above the 10% threshold, is considered to be excessive, or above the marketplace norm and will be displayed in the member's profile. SERVICEPROVIDERs that have Excessive Cancellations may be charged higher match fees than other SERVICE PROVIDERS. Cancellations do not affect the overall feedback score or the % positive.
SERVICE PROVIDERS that have Excessive Cancellations at the time a bid is placed will have a variable surcharge added to their match fee, in proportion to their current ratio of cancellations to matches. The fee schedule is as follows:
Excessive Cancellation Surcharge Schedule
Cancellations/Match Rate  Match Fee Surcharge
0-10%                 No Additional Fee
10.1-20%            20%
20.1-30%            40%
3°·1-40%            60%
4°·1-50%            80%
50·1+%             100%
For example, when a SERVICE PROVIDER who has 93 matches and 15 cancellations places a bid, their cancellation rate is calculated at 15%(Matched projects are always rounded up to the nearest 10, or 100 total in this example). Thus, this SERVICE PROVIDER would have a 20% surcharge added to their match fee amount (i.e., if their match fee was previously $50 it will now be $60 because of the 20% surcharge).
MarineProjectMatch.com takes abuse of the Cancellation process seriously. This includes submitting false or exaggerated reasons, attempting to cancel matches that have already occurred or are expected to occur, or colluding with other members to abuse the process. A member that is found to be abusing the process will automatically have their cancellation request denied, may be subject to additional fees and penalties, and may have their account immediately suspended or deleted.
10. No Agency. You hereby agree and acknowledge that your execution of this Agreement, your provision of services and/or your use of the MarineProjectMatch.com website, does not confer or imply any contractor (independent or otherwise), agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship with us and furthermore that no affiliation, association or connection exists between you and us.
11. Release. Should you have a dispute with one or more MarineProjectMatch users, you release MarineProjectMatch.com, Inc., its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
12. Account Flagging System. The MarineProjectMatch site is self-policed by the MarineProjectMatch community via a flagging system. The flagging system is used to communicate the policies of the MarineProjectMatch User Agreement and MarineProjectMatch Discussion Forum Rules. MarineProjectMatch members are able to lflag' certain texts that do not comply with this Agreement or the Forum Rules. White flags are located in areas that are able to be flagged, including: Q&A forum, the bid details section, user profiles, and Service Provider listing information. To flag text, community members click on the white flag following the text in question. After agreeing that the text you are flagging violates the MarineProjectMatch User Agreement or Forum Rules, the white flag will turn yellow. A yellow flag is sent to the MarineProjectMatch team for review. After review, the MarineProjectMatch team will either greenflag the text, meaning there was no violation, or red flag the text, meaning there was a violation and the content has been removed. A MarineProjectMatch member who receives a red flag on three separate occasions is subject to suspension of their account.

15. Off-Site Communications. MarineProjectMatch.com prohibits offers by its members to outside of the MarineProjectMatch.com site.

20. Record Keeping/Audit. We reserve the right to keep all records of any and all transactions and communications between you and other members for administration purposes.
21. Non-solicitation. During the term of this agreement, you shall not solicit to hire nor hire our employees of whom you become aware of through the performance of this Agreement. Furthermore, you shall not otherwise interfere with any of our other business relationships including those with our members.

Furthermore, you represent or warrant that there are currently no legal proceedings, criminal, civil or administrative, instituted against you that will prevent you from performing the services.
23. Unsolicited Idea Submission. We always want to receive messages and feedback from MarineProjectMatch.com members and welcome any comments regarding the MarineProjectMatch.com marketplace. However, MarineProjectMatch.com policy does not allow us to accept or consider ideas, suggestions, or proposals other than those we specifically request. The intent of this policy is to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when new functionality and features developed internally by MarineProjectMatch.com might be similar or even identical to your idea.
If you do send MarineProjectMatch.com an unsolicited suggestion, idea, or proposal, or if you send, at the request of MarineProjectMatch.com, a comment or suggestion to improve the MarineProjectMatch.com Marketplace (for example, through Discussion Boards or via email) (collectively, the "Submission"), MarineProjectMatch.com will consider the Submission to be non-confidential and non-proprietary. MarineProjectMatch.com shall have no obligations concerning the Submission, contractual or otherwise (including but not limited to an obligation to keep the Submission confidential), and shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submission. MarineProjectMatch.com shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you.

24. Identity Verification. We use techniques to help verify the identity of SERVICE PROVIDERs when they register on our website; however, MarineProjectMatch.com cannot and will not confirm each SERVICE PROVIDER's identity. We have implemented a user-managed feedback system to help you evaluate other members you are transacting with.
25. Feedback. For each MarineProjectMatch.com transaction, the CUSTOMER and SERVICE PROVIDER are allowed to rate each other by leaving feedback for one another. Feedback consists of leaving one rating (positive, negative or neutral), along with a short comment about your experience. Feedback scores are calculated when another member gives you a +1, 0, -1 score. Each member's overall feedback score is the difference between the number of members who left a positive rating and the number of members who left a negative rating. When a member leaves more than one of a particular type of feedback, for example three positive ratings for another member (for three different transactions), the other member's score only increases by +1. While the score is only increased by +1, each of the comments are made available for the community to read in the profile section. A member can only influence another member's feedback score by one positive, one negative or one neutral rating. For example, if you leave 3 positives and a negative, only one of the positives and one of the negatives will count against the score, netting to provide a score of o. If you attempt to undermine the integrity of our feedback system in any way, or if you earn a net feedback rating of negative four (-4) or lower, your membership may be suspended. You acknowledge that your feedback consists of comments left by other MarineProjectMatch.com members and a composite feedback number compiled by MarineProjectMatch.com. You agree that you will not use your MarineProjectMatch.com feedback in any venue other than MarineProjectMatch.com. Members should always use caution and good judgment when leaving feedback for another member because, members could be held legally responsible for damages to a member's reputation if a court were to find that the remarks constitute libel or defamation. Under federal law (the Communications Decency Act), because MarineProjectMatch.com does not censor feedback or investigate it for accuracy, MarineProjectMatch.com is not legally responsible for the remarks that members post, even if those remarks are defamatory. However, this law does not protect the person who leaves the feedback from responsibility for it.
26. Resolving Feedback Disputes. To maintain the integrity of the feedback system, feedback left for a member is a permanent part of that member's profile. Feedback comments cannot be edited at a later date. Members should resolve any misunderstandings prior to leaving feedback since most misunderstandings can and are resolved quickly through direct communication. There may be times when you are unhappy with, disagree with, or regret feedback that you left for another member, or that may have been left for you. If you have a disagreement over feedback that has been left, you have options to respond.
A) Reply to Feedback Received. Share your side of the story by responding to any comment that has been left for you. Your response will be shown directly below the comment left by the other MarineProjectMatch.com member.
B) Mutual Feedback Withdrawal. If both members are able to resolve a problem after feedback has been left, you can mutually agree to withdraw the feedback rating. The feedback comment will still appear in your profile, but it will no longer count towards your feedback score. Both members must agree, and feedback will be withdrawn at the same time upon confirmation of the request by both members.
C) Feedback Comment Withdrawal. MarineProjectMatch.com will remove individual feedback comments only in very rare circumstances, such as when they violate certain MarineProjectMatch.com policies. Other situations where MarineProjectMatch.com will remove feedback include: feedback containing vulgar language or other personal contact information, and instances when MarineProjectMatch.com receives a valid court order to remove feedback.
27. Remedies. Remedies for use of our website that violate this agreement include, but are not limited to, the immediate removal your project and project listings, notifying our members of your actions, issuing a warning, temporarily suspending your membership, terminating your membership, and refusing to provide our services to you.
28. No Warranty. MarineProjectMatch.com, our employees, and our suppliers provide services without any warranty or express, implied or statutory conditions. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
