  1. Services. 
  • 1.1. Vixster Services; Waste Removal Services. Vixster will make the Vixster Services available to you pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vixster Services” mean Vixster’s lead generation and related services that enable waste removal providers (“Haulers”) to provide Waste Removal Services to you. “Waste Removal Services” means Haulers’ provision of waste removal services, whether trash or recycling (as applicable), to or on behalf of Customers via the Vixster Services, by (a) picking up waste from Customer’s property based on the Customer Information (as defined below), and (b) delivering such waste to a legally authorized location for the dumping of such waste in compliance with all laws.
  • 1.2. Your Relationship with Company. You acknowledge and agree that Company’s provision to you of the Vixster Services creates a direct business relationship between Company and you. You further acknowledge and agree that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company is only obligated to provide the Vixster Services to you, and that Haulers are obligated to provide the Waste Removal Services directly to you; accordingly, you acknowledge and agree Company is not a principal contractor, intermediate contractor, or subcontractor responsible for providing Waste Removal Services to you or for subletting any Waste Removal Services to Haulers; rather, you understand and agree Company merely provides lead generation and related services to you to enable you to receive Waste Removal Services from Haulers with whom you have a direct business and contractual relationship. In order to use the Vixster Services, you must register for and maintain an active personal customer services account (“Account“). Account registration may require you to submit certain personal information to Vixster related to your request for and use of the Vixster Services and Waste Removal Services including waste pick-up location, pick-up frequency, your name, your contact information, and a valid payment method, as well as any other relevant details specific to the waste to be removed (“Customer Information”). You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Customer Information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to access or use the Vixster Services and Waste Removal Services. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity, except with the consent of Vixster. After you register for an Account, Company will then match you with a Haulers to provide Waste Removal Services pursuant to the Customer Information. Company retains the sole right to determine which Hauler will receive your request for Waste Removal Services for any pick-up. The selection of Hauler is based on any number of factors, including, but not limited to, past performance history, reliability metrics, and quality of vehicle. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when accessing or using the Vixster Services and Waste Removal Services. After receiving Waste Removal Services, you may, but are not obligated to, provide comments about the Hauler. These comments are intended to note any special circumstances to make future Waste Removal Services safer and more efficient, rather than reflect Vixster’s control over Haulers. Company reserves the right to use, share and display your comments in any manner in connection with the business of Company without your approval.
  • 1.3. Your Relationship with Haulers. In an effort to provide Haulers with significant advantages and flexibility (e.g., selection of their own time, discretion to engage in other business or employment activities, etc.), Vixster engages Haulers as independent contractors. When you enter into this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that Haulers’ provision of Waste Removal Services to you creates a direct business and contractual relationship between you and the Hauler, and you acknowledge and agree that Company is not a principal contractor, intermediate contractor, or subcontractor responsible for providing Waste Removal Services to you or for subletting any Waste Removal Services to Haulers. You acknowledge that different terms of use and privacy policies may apply to your use of such third party providers’ services. Haulers shall have the sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to Customers or other third parties that arise from their provision of Waste Removal Services and Company is not responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of a Hauler.
  • 1.4. Waste Materials. You represent and warrant that the materials to be collected under this Agreement shall be only “Waste Materials” and “Recyclable Materials”, each as defined herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Waste Materials” mean non-hazardous solid waste and organic waste and “Recyclable Materials” means only paper, plastic, glass, aluminum and cardboard. Waste Materials and Recyclable Materials must be generated by Customer at the service address designated under Customer’s Account. “Waste Materials” and “Recyclable Materials” specifically excludes, and you agree not to deposit or permit the deposit for collection of, any radioactive, volatile, corrosive, flammable, explosive, biomedical, infectious, biohazardous, regulated medical or hazardous waste, toxic substance or material, as defined by, characterized or listed under applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations, or other certain types of waste, such as waste tires, industrial process wastes, asbestos containing material, petroleum contaminated soils, treated/de-characterized wastes, and demolition debris (collectively, “Excluded Materials”). By using the Vixster Services, you acknowledge and agree that you have read and agree to the “Customer Policies” found at https://vixster.com/policies/. Title to and liability for Excluded Materials shall remain with Customer at all times. Title to Customer’s Waste Materials and Recyclable Materials is transferred to Company upon Company’s receipt or collection unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or applicable law. 
 
  1. Term; Termination. 
  • 2.1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be selected by you when you register for an Account online or as otherwise communicated to Vixster by telephone or otherwise (“Initial Term”). The Initial Term shall automatically renew for additional renewal terms at the then-current service specifications, including length of term, pick-up frequency and applicable charges (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless you give Company notice of termination at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of the then-existing term. 
  • 2.2. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated: (a) by Customer (i) upon providing notice of termination pursuant to Section 2.1 above, or (ii) pursuant to Section 3.2 if Company increases the Charges payable by Customer hereunder with a Consensual Price Increase; and (b) by Company: (i) immediately, if Customer violates this Agreement, or (ii) upon providing notice of termination fifteen (15) days in advance, for any other reason, provided, however, that Vixster may immediately suspend the provision of services to you upon the provision of such notice. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, you shall have no right to continue use of the Vixster Services. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer for any reason other than a termination expressly permitted by this Agreement, then Vixster shall be entitled to all of the fees due under this Agreement for the entire contract term (whether an Initial Term or a Renewal Term). 
 
  1. Payment. 
  • 3.1. You understand that use of the Vixster Services will result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive (“Charges“). Charges will be due and payable at the beginning of an Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. All Charges and payments will be enabled by Vixster using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, and you authorize Vixster to charge the payment method designated in your Account at the beginning of any Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. All Charges are based on services purchased, regardless of usage. All Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Vixster. Vixster may use the proceeds of any Charges for any purpose, subject to any payment obligations it has agreed to with Haulers for their provision of Waste Removal Services to you; in such cases, Vixster will collect payment of those charges from you, on the Hauler’s behalf as their limited payment collection agent, and payment of the Charges shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Hauler. 
  • 3.2. Company may increase the Charges to your Account for: any increase in disposal, fuel or transportation costs; any change in the composition of the Waste Materials or Recyclable Materials or increases in the average weight per container of Waste Materials or Recyclable Materials; increased costs due to uncontrollable circumstances, including, without limitation, changes in local, state or federal laws or regulations, imposition of taxes, fees (including dumping fees) or surcharges and acts of God such as floods, fires, etc. Company may also increase the charges to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index for the municipal or regional area in which the Service Address is located. Without limiting the foregoing, Company also reserves the right to seek, and Customer acknowledges that it should expect Company to seek, increases in the Charges payable by Customer hereunder for reasons not specifically permitted in this Section (a “Consensual Price Increase”). If Customer does not accept the Consensual Price Increase, Customer’s sole right and remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Company no later than thirty (30) days after Company notifies Customer of such Consensual Price Increase. Customer’s failure to terminate this Agreement (within the 30-day period) shall be construed as Customer’s acknowledgement that the continuation of the Vixster Services by Company hereunder is good, valuable and sufficient consideration for the Consensual Price Increase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may, but are not obligated to, agree to a different increase or adjustment to Customer’s Charges (a “Negotiated Price Adjustment”) as a result of a Consensual Price Increase.
