4. Use by Clients

If you are a Client, you understand and agree that we are not responsible for engagement with a Service Provider or use of Service Offerings.  If you elect to engage with a Service Provider or procure a Service Offering, the terms and conditions regarding your use or receipt of the Service Offerings are between you and the Service Provider of those Service Offerings. Any questions, concerns or disputes that arise based on your use of a Service Offering should be addressed with the Service Provider, not with us.  The Service Offerings may use or transport your data or information outside of the Aelieve Directory or Aelieve product, and we are not responsible for any such use or transport.  If you use the Aelieve Directory, its content (including without limitation, reviews), a Service Provider listed, or any Service Offerings, you do so at your sole risk.

5. Use by Service Providers

If you are a Service Provider, you must respond to inquiries regarding your Service Offerings within a reasonable period of time.  If you are listed as a Service Provider, we also expect that Service Offerings you provide are done so with good quality and in a professional and workmanlike manner.  We may remove you as a Service Provider or remove a Service Offering in our discretion, at any time, without notice to you.  One of the reasons we might remove you as a Service Provider is if we determine that you are not responsive, or are not delivering quality work as we expect.  Submitting your information as a Service Provider does not guarantee you will be listed on the Aelieve Directory or promoted by us.

6. Reviews

The Aelieve Directory may permit you to post reviews about a Service Provider or Service Offering.  If you submit a review, you agree that we may post all or a portion of the content of your review, along with your name and the date of the review.  We reserve the right to edit, remove or decline to post any review, at any time, in our discretion.  We are not responsible for the content of the reviews, whether or not we reviewed or edited the content.

In an effort to maintain fair, accurate and useful reviews, you are required to follow the Review Guidelines, along with the following, with respect to all reviews submitted:

• The content of your review should be in compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 3 (‘Your Conduct and Content’).

• When submitting your review, do not impersonate another person or entity.
• Your review may not be threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, false, misleading, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy; and it must not contain vulgar, obscene or indecent material, infringe a third party’s intellectual property right(s), or violate export control laws and/or regulations.
