COMMONLY TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: January 26, 2025

Welcome to Commonly. Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using our platform. By accessing or using Commonly, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. About Commonly and Our Role

Commonly is a technology platform operated by 1080 Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). Commonly connects homeowners in neighborhoods with independent service providers to facilitate group purchasing of home services such as driveway sealing, gutter cleaning, lawn care, and similar services ("Services").

COMMONLY IS A COORDINATOR, NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER. We do not perform, supervise, direct, or control any Services. We do not employ Service Providers. Service Providers are independent businesses that contract directly with you. Commonly simply facilitates introductions and coordinates group deals between neighbors and Service Providers.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, or franchisor-franchisee relationship is created between Commonly and any Service Provider or between Commonly and you.

2. How Commonly Works

When you participate in a Commonly deal:

  • You are entering into a service agreement directly with the independent Service Provider, not with Commonly
  • Commonly collects payment on behalf of the Service Provider as a convenience
  • The Service Provider is solely responsible for performing the Services
  • Any warranty or guarantee for workmanship comes from the Service Provider, not from Commonly

3. Disclaimer of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMMONLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTS, OMISSIONS, ERRORS, NEGLIGENCE, OR MISCONDUCT OF ANY SERVICE PROVIDER. This includes, without limitation, liability for property damage, personal injury, poor workmanship, delays, failure to perform, or any other claims arising from or related to Services performed by Service Providers.

COMMONLY PROVIDES THE PLATFORM ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not guarantee or warrant the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of Services provided by Service Providers. We do not verify the accuracy of Service Provider credentials, licenses, insurance, or qualifications beyond basic screening.

4. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMMONLY, 1080 VENTURES, LLC, OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF COMMONLY EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO COMMONLY IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

5. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Commonly, 1080 Ventures, LLC, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of Commonly; (b) your interaction with any Service Provider; (c) any Services performed at your property; or (d) your violation of these Terms.

6. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Agreement to Arbitrate: You and Commonly agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Commonly shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if eligible.

Class Action Waiver: YOU AND COMMONLY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Arbitration Rules: Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language in the state of Maryland or another mutually agreed location.

Opt-Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.

7. Disputes with Service Providers

Any disputes regarding the quality, timeliness, or performance of Services are between you and the Service Provider. Commonly is not a party to your agreement with the Service Provider and is not responsible for resolving such disputes. We encourage you to communicate directly with the Service Provider to resolve any issues.

While Commonly may, in its sole discretion, assist in facilitating communication between you and a Service Provider, such assistance does not create any liability or obligation on the part of Commonly.

8. Payment and Refunds

Payments made through Commonly are collected on behalf of Service Providers. Refund policies are determined by the individual Service Provider and the terms of the specific deal. Commonly may facilitate refunds at the request of a Service Provider but is not obligated to issue refunds for disputes related to Service quality or performance.

9. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Provide false or misleading information
  • Use Commonly for any unlawful purpose
  • Interfere with or disrupt the platform
  • Circumvent Commonly to transact directly with Service Providers you discovered through our platform

10. Privacy

Your use of Commonly is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using Commonly, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the "Effective Date" above. Your continued use of Commonly after such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Commonly regarding your use of the platform and supersede any prior agreements.
