NEON COAT, LLC (“NEON COAT” or “we” or “us” or “our”) provides a platform for directly connecting businesses and signed models (the “Services”).

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your access and use of the Neon Coat mobile application (the “App”), our website located at https://www.neoncoat.com (the “Site”), our proprietary platform that powers the Services (the “Platform”) and other online products and services of Neon Coat (collectively, with the App and the Site, the “Neon Coat Services”). These Terms will govern any upgrades to the Neon Coat Services, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

The Neon Coat Services
Through the Neon Coat Services, models are informed of businesses or event promoters (each, an “Organizer”) seeking models for a variety of promotional purposes, which may include (without limitation) modeling or other professional gigs, sampling the Organizer’s products and services, and attending Organizer venues or events (each, an “Engagement”). When an Organizer requests models for a particular Engagement, it will provide Engagement details (e.g., the number of models requested, date and time, terms and conditions, etc.), any additional criteria it seeks for the models, and any associated incentives or other compensation offered (“Offers”). If you meet the necessary criteria, are interested, and there is available space, you can accept the Offer via the App, which (if applicable) will generate an electronic ticket (“E-Ticket”). If you back out of one or more confirmed Engagements without legitimate and verified excuse, we may suspend your access to and use of the Neon Coat Services, in our sole discretion. It will be your responsibility to comply with all stated terms and conditions of each Offer, which may require contacting an Organizer in advance to make an appointment. We reserve the right to limit users’ access to certain Offers in our sole discretion. Should you encounter any inappropriate conduct or behavior by an Organizer, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

Conditions of Use
You may not use the Neon Coat Services unless (i) you are at least 18 years old; and (ii) you agree to these Terms, which may be modified at any time. If you disagree with any such modifications, your only remedy is to immediately discontinue use of the Neon Coat Services.

Acceptance
BY DOWNLOADING THE APP OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE NEON COAT SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS HEREIN, INCLUDING YOUR AGREEMENT TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTES TO BINDING ARBITRATION. Please read all of the terms before you use the Neon Coat Services. If a term does not make sense to you, please let us know.

Modifications
We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the Terms (and, in some cases, providing you with additional notice such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). All users of Neon Coat Services should review the Terms periodically to ensure they stay informed of any updates. Changes to these Terms will be effective when posted (unless you are notified otherwise), and your continued use of Neon Coat Services after the effective date of any such revisions will signify your acceptance of those changes.

Privacy Policy
For information about how we collect, use and share information about users of the Neon Coat Services, please see our Privacy Policy at https://www.neoncoat.com/privacy_policy.

Accounts
You must create an account to use the Neon Coat Services, which may require that you link to one or more of your social media accounts (e.g., Instagram). You are responsible for all activity performed through your account, and accept all risk that someone may access your account without your permission. As such, you should keep your log-in credentials secure. By creating an account with Neon Coat, you represent and warrant to us that (i) you are at least 18 years old; (ii) all information that you provide in connection with your account is at all times truthful, accurate, current and complete; (iii) your use of the Neon Coat Services will not violate any contractual obligations you have to any third parties (including, without limitation, modeling or other agencies); and (iv) you will comply with these Terms. Neon Coat reserves the right to deny or terminate any account, at our discretion, for any reason. You promise to update the information you have provided to Neon Coat in the event of any changes to your account information.

Offers
Neon Coat makes no representations or warranties in connection with Offers, which originate from Organizers. Should an Organizer fail to honor its Offer, however, please report it to Neon Coat immediately.

Your participation in Engagements will be monitored via various mechanisms, including (if applicable) geolocation information collected by the App from your mobile device, as well as manual attendance verification. When participating in Engagements that require your physical presence at a specific location, you must present your E-Ticket to the Organizer upon arrival so they can ensure you are properly checked in. Please keep your mobile device powered and with you while participating in such Engagements. If you leave an Engagement for any reason prior to its conclusion or fail to conduct yourself appropriately or adhere to an Organizer’s reasonable expectations or Engagement-specific guidelines, Offers may be reduced or withheld entirely.

Neon Coat reserves the right to limit your access to any Offers in its sole discretion.

Payments
For certain Engagements, Neon Coat may collect compensation directly from Organizers, and remit your share of any such compensation (in accordance with the terms of such Engagement) to you directly. In connection with such payments, the following terms apply:

• Payments will be made solely to the extent that the applicable Organizer pays Neon Coat. While Neon Coat will use reasonable efforts to secure such payments up front, and to ensure all Organizers meet their payment obligations to Neon Coat, Neon Coat will have no obligation to pay you unless and until Neon Coat receives the applicable payment, in full, from the Organizer.

• All payments will be made using the payment solution Stripe (or such other payment solution as authorized by Neon Coat on a case-by-case basis, in its sole and absolute discretion). Unless otherwise expressly authorized by Neon Coat, in its sole and absolute discretion, you must have a valid account with Stripe to be eligible for payments from Neon Coat. Failure to do so will result in complete forfeiture of any rights to payment you might otherwise have been entitled to in connection with an Engagement. Your use of the Stripe payment solution will be governed by Stripe’s applicable terms of service.

• Neon Coat is not your employer and will accordingly not be withholding any employment, income or other taxes from such payments. You will be solely responsible for any and all such taxes.

No Agency
Neon Coat does not intend to appoint you or any other Neon Coat model as its employee or legal agent, or to form any kind of legal partnership or joint venture with you. You are not authorized to make any commitments on behalf of Neon Coat, and Neon Coat will not make commitments on your behalf, except as expressly authorized via the Neon Coat Services or as expressly stated in these Terms.

Release of Liability
YOUR PARTCIPATION IN AN ENGAGEMENT IS VOLUNTARY, AND YOU FULLY ACCEPT ANY AND ALL ASSOCIATED RISK WITH SUCH PARTICIPATION. YOU FURTHER RELEASE (BOTH ON BEHALF OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AND PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES), NEON COAT, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS, HEIRS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASEES”), FROM AND AGAINST ANY LOSS (WHETHER OF WAGES OR OTHER EARNINGS, CONSORTIUM OR OTHERWISE), INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, COST, EXPENSE, DAMAGE (WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE) OR OTHER CLAIM OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OR RESULTING FROM, OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO, YOUR PARTICIPATION IN AN ENGAGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEON COAT DOES NOT OWN, ENDORSE OR CONTROL ANY ENGAGEMENT POSTING OR OFFER AND ALL SUCH POSTINGS AND OFFERS ARE ENDORSED BY THE APPLICABLE ORGANIZER.

Neon Coat is not responsible or liable for the conduct of, or your interactions with, any Organizers (or their employees, contractors, or other Neon Coat models) or for any related damage or harm. Any dispute that you may have regarding the conduct of any Organizer or the quality or characteristics of an Engagement is between you and the applicable Organizer. Neon Coat makes no representations or warranties of any kind in connection with Organizers or Engagements.

Governing Law; Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH NEON COAT, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM NEON COAT.

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America, without resort to any conflict of law provisions. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or the Neon Coat Services, you and Neon Coat agree to consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing your mutual interests, try to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If we do not reach settlement within a period of 60 days, then either of us may, by notice to the other demand mediation under the mediation rules of the JAMS/Endispute (“JAMS”) in New York, New York. Both you and Neon Coat give up the right to litigate disputes and may not proceed to arbitration without first trying mediation, but you and Neon Coat are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Neon Coat will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.

If settlement is not reached within 60 days after service of a written demand for mediation, any unresolved controversy or claim will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of JAMS before a single arbitrator in New York, New York. The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law and the award and/or determination of the arbitrator will be binding on the parties, and their respective administrators and assigns, and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys’ fees and expenses by the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within 90 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit only if failure to do so would unduly prejudice the rights of the parties. Failure to adhere to this time limit will not constitute a basis for challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously.

For any disputes that are not handled by arbitration, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms will be filed only in the state and federal courts located in New York, New York and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms or the use of the Neon Coat Services.

No Circumvention
Any attempt to try to circumvent Neon Coat (e.g., by dealing with Organizers directly for the express purpose of circumventing the Neon Coat Services) is prohibited and may result in the termination of your account and/or access to the Neon Coat Services.

General
Enforcement of these Terms is solely at Neon Coat’s discretion. Failure to enforce any part of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the same or other part of these Terms in other instances. If any provision of these Terms is or becomes unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable (including the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations above), then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. The section headings of these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms.

These Terms (and the other policies and terms referred to above) make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Neon Coat Services, and they supersede any prior agreements that may have been made.
