WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND AS TO THE SECURITY, ADEQUACY, COMPLETENESS, SUFFICIENCY, TIMELINESS OR ACCURACY OF ANY CONTENT OR MATERIAL AVAILABLE IN OR THROUGH THE SMT PLATFORM, THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY CONTENT OR SOFTWARE AVAILABLE AT OR THROUGH THE SMT PLATFORM IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY MONETARY CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ASSESSED AGAINST US OR OUR OWNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS OR CONTENT PROVIDERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THE SMT PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED (IN AGGREGATE) $500.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event You agree to and will assist and cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
Choice of Law
This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws.
Any dispute arising under this Agreement, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service or in relation to your use of, or inability to use the Platform, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be administered by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be selected from a list of arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association following a request by the party seeking arbitration for a list of five retired or former jurists with substantial professional experience. The arbitration shall be conducted under the procedures applicable to individual arbitration in New York under the Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“rules”) of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator's authority and jurisdiction shall be limited to determining the dispute in arbitration in conformity with law, to the same extent as if such dispute were determined as to liability and any remedy by a court without a jury. The arbitrator shall render an award which shall include a written statement of opinion setting forth the arbitrator's findings of fact and conclusions of law. An arbitration decision shall be enforceable in the State of New York.
You agree that any judicial proceeding concerning Choice of Law or Choice of Forum shall be maintained in the State of New York and subject to the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. If for any reason the resolution of a dispute through arbitration is deemed inapplicable by a New York Court, you agree to resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute (together a “claim”) you have with us arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, our ToS, or our Privacy Policy exclusively in the State of New York. In such instance, you further agree that the laws of the State of Delaware will govern this Agreement, our ToS, our Privacy Policy as well as any claim that may arise between you and us, without regard to conflict of law principles. In any dispute arising under the ToS or the Privacy Policy, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In addition, where the resolution of a dispute through arbitration is deemed inapplicable, the following Arbitration and Class Action Waiver shall also apply.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, OR OUR PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK UNDER THE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES (“RULES”) OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION THEN IN EFFECT, BY ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR WITH SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE IN RESOLVING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COMMERCIAL CONTRACT DISPUTES, WHO SHALL BE SELECTED FROM THE APPROPRIATE LIST OF ARBITRATORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH RULES, AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
As an alternative, you may bring your claim in the “small claims” court solely within New York State, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if within such court’s jurisdiction. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement.
YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. YOU ALSO AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR CONSOLIDATED CLAIMS, IF WE ARE A PARTY TO THE PROCEEDING.
This section will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with the Tos.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of SMT Platform, or the ToS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or action arose or be forever banned. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this section will be null and void. This section will otherwise survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Miscellaneous
Communications with Users
We use email, text/SMS messaging or telephone to communicate with users. You hereby authorize and agree that we may communicate with you via email or text/SMS and you consent to receiving and giving any notice required under the Tos or any other agreement with us via email. We will use reasonable efforts to honor any request you may have to opt out from receiving emails, but under no circumstance will we have any liability for sending any email to user. Electronic notices should be sent to hello@saymazeltov.com
Severability
Any finding of illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or term of this Tos, or our Privacy Policy shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision or term of our ToS, or our Privacy Policy.
Entire Understanding
The ToS and our Privacy Policy set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter herein. We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. You may not assign the Tos, or assign, transfer or sublicense your rights, if any, in the SMT Platform without our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without consent. A failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision of the Tos, or our Privacy Policy shall be held to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Privacy Policy (and the balance of any provisions held void or unenforceable in part only) shall continue in full force and effect. If you do not agree with any part of these terms and conditions, or you have a dispute or claim against us or our affiliates with respect to the Tos or our Privacy Policy, you should immediately refrain from using the SMT Platform. Any non-use of the SMT Platform shall not act as a waiver. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Tos, your registration with or access to the Site or use of the SMT Platform, and neither you nor we have any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.

Agreement For Talent User
(May 7, 2024)
Welcome to the SayMazelTov family and for your interest in serving as “Talent” for SayMazelTov.com, the website owned and operated by SayMazelTov (“SMT”, “We”, “we”). The SayMazelTov.com website and the features, contents, applications and services provided by SMT (together with the Site, the “Platform”) provides users the ability to receive personalized video messages from talented individuals, creative artists and social media influencers (“You”, “Talent’).
SMT is excited that You have chosen to embark on this collaborative journey with SMT.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. As Talent using the SMT Platform, You represent and warrant that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement for Talent User and that this Agreement will govern your use of the SMT Platform. You also warrant that your use of the SMT Platform is subject to both our general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy applicable to all SMT Platform users.
Registration
In order to participate on our Site, you must register as Talent on the SMT Platform. By registering, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form. In order to register as Talent on your own, you must be at least 18 years old. If you are under age 18, a parent, guardian or other authorized individual or company must register on your behalf. You represent that you will keep your unique user id and password confidential and to inform SMT immediately upon learning of unauthorized access to your SMT Talent Account or any other security breaches.
At no cost to SMT, upon your registration, you agree to provide SMT with five high resolution images of You, a brief profile of You (no longer than 50 words) and a promotional video by You (between 15 and 30 seconds in length) which SMT will use on the SMT Platform to advertise You and to create a unique SMT Talent Profile for You. You agree to provide SMT with the above within 7 days of registering to become SMT Talent.
Videos
From time to time, a User of the SMT Platform may request one or more Video recordings from You. You will have up to 48 hours to decline any request from a user and do not need to provide any reasons for declining a request. Declination of requests are within your sole and absolute discretion. SMT also retains the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel any request from a User
Ordinarily, You will have up to seven days to complete and upload a requested Video on the SMT Platform. If you choose, SMT will include on your SMT Talent Profile an option for users to request expedited receipt of a Video from You at an additional charge for the User. No payment will be made to You for any declined or unfulfilled Video request.
While You have sole discretion over the script and content of any Video, SMT believes that a User will be more satisfied and more likely to request additional Videos from You or other SMT Talent when the majority of the User’s requests are fulfilled by You. SMT anticipates that most SMT Users will request at a minimum that You identify yourself and mention in the Video You create the names of the individuals requested by the User. For example, a Video wishing a Mazel Tov to a Bar Mitzvah Boy failing to mention the name of the Bar Mitzvah Boy would be a critical mistake and would result in an unsatisfied User. In such situations, SMT will discuss with you an appropriate reduction in the payment made to You by SMT.
Fees and Payment
You will set your own price for each Video. For each fulfilled request SMT will pay you 70% of the Booking Fee. The remaining 30% will be divided as follows: 5% to a Charity selected by SMT and 25% to SMT. At any time, You may notify SMT that you wish to designate all or a portion of your Booking Fee to any IRS 501(c)(3) designated tax exempt charity.
You represent and warrant that You are authorized to make the Video You are providing to a User and are not prohibited from doing so by any guild, union, collective bargaining, or similar agreement.
You represent that you are operating as an independent contractor to SMT and acknowledge that SMT is not responsible for payment of taxes or deductions for Social Security or any other governmental benefits.
You agree to register with the third-party payment provider selected by SMT, which SMT may change in its sole discretion. You may not use a payment provider other than the one selected by SMT. You will provide the payment provider any information required so that You may receive payments via the payment provider. Any payments due to You from SMT will be made via the payment provider. Subject to the payment provider’s terms, payment will be made within approximately two weeks of receipt by SMT of the Booking Fee.
You agree that we are not responsible for any delay, failure, damage, or liability caused by any payment provider, any other third party, a force majeure, or your failure to timely or properly set up an account with the payment provider or otherwise provide requested information for payment.
SMT may refuse to accept or transmit any Video for any reason without notice to you. SMT may remove any Video from the SMT Platform Site for any reason without notice to you.

If for any reason the resolution of a dispute through arbitration is deemed inapplicable by a New York Court, you agree to resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute (together a “claim”) you have with us arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, our ToS, or our Privacy Policy exclusively in the State of New York. In such instance, you further agree that the laws of the State of Delaware will govern this Agreement, our ToS, our Privacy Policy as well as any claim that may arise between you and us, without regard to conflict of law principles. In any dispute arising under the ToS or the Privacy Policy, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In addition, where the resolution of a dispute through arbitration is deemed inapplicable, the following Arbitration and Class Action Waiver shall also apply.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, OR OUR PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK UNDER THE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES (“RULES”) OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION THEN IN EFFECT, BY ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR WITH SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE IN RESOLVING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COMMERCIAL CONTRACT DISPUTES, WHO SHALL BE SELECTED FROM THE APPROPRIATE LIST OF ARBITRATORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH RULES, AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
As an alternative, you may bring your claim in the “small claims” court solely within New York State, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if within such court’s jurisdiction. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement.
YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. YOU ALSO AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR CONSOLIDATED CLAIMS, IF WE ARE A PARTY TO THE PROCEEDING.
This section will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with the ToS.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of SMT Platform, or the ToS, must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or action arose or be forever banned. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this section will be null and void. This section will otherwise survive the termination of your relationship with us.
