Welcome to Flexie, an AI-powered platform that instantly connects Companies (Companies or Job Posters) with local untapped talent (Flexers or Job Seekers) . A Company can post various jobs including temporary shifts, short-term projects, part-time jobs, full-time jobs, or internships, and gets instantly matched with a Flexer based on their preferences.
This Terms of Service (the “Terms”) applies to your use of Flexie mobile app, the Flexie.com website, and any other associated Flexie services (the “Services”). These Terms also govern your relationship with Flexie Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Flexie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We refer to users of the Flexie Services “User,” “Users,” “Company,”, “Companies”, “Job Poster”, “Job Posters”, “Job Seeker”, “Job Seekers”, “Flexer”, “Flexers,” “you,” or “your,” as appropriate.
Flexie will update these Terms over time, and the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Terms will list the last date we updated these Terms. In the event we make minor changes that do not materially affect your rights, we will post the updated Terms on the website. If we make a change that materially affects your rights, we will notify you by email, through the Flexie Services, or by requiring you to review and accept updated Terms before continuing to use the Services.
Flexie takes user privacy very seriously and prohibits third parties from bulk collecting member data or other Flexie information from our Services through the use of scraping or similar technology. For more detail on our privacy practices, please read our Privacy Policy. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, including any updates posted here or otherwise communicated to you.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS INCLUDE BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS IN THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
If you wish to use the Flexie platform to post Jobs you would like for a Flexer to perform for you, you will need to create a Job Poster Account (a “Company Account”) to use Flexie. You must be 18 years old or a legal entity in the US to post a Job on the Flexie platform.
If you would like to obtain access to Flexie as a person who wishes to perform Jobs, you will need to have a Flexer Account (“Flexer Account”) to access Flexie. Flexers must consent to be screened according to each Company’s employment requirements when opening a Flexer Account.
If you meet the legal working age in the US, you can create a Flexer account. However, your ability to work for a Company will be based on the Company’s age requirements for a specific Job Post. We will collect all relevant pre-employment documentation according to a Company’s requirements where applicable. Flexie, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to change or limit the ways in which younger Flexers work through Flexie.
Flexie charges Companies and Flexers the then-current fees, which are displayed on the platform. In the event that the Company has an issue with the completion of a Job, the Company has 24 hours to submit a dispute, otherwise the Job is automatically “closed” and the payment will be submitted for processing. Payments are processed within 48 hours of the Job completion unless there is a dispute submitted by the Company. Companies and Flexers contract with each other, and Flexie will not be a party to any contract for a Job. Flexie shall not be obligated to compensate a Flexer for a Company’s failure to pay for a Job.
Flexie uses a third-party payment processor, Stripe. Flexie does not store your credit card or bank account information. As a condition of Flexie enabling payment processing services through Flexie, you agree to provide Flexie accurate payment information, and you authorize Flexie to share with Stripe this information and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-applicable rules, including (as appropriate) its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN COURTS OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you and Flexie may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, whether in aid of, pending or independently of the resolution of any Dispute pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth above.
