Please read these Terms carefully. By using ServicePal, you’re agreeing to these Terms. They describe the services we will provide to you, how we will work together, and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document (a contract) so some of the language is necessarily “legalese”, but we have tried to make it as readable as possible. These terms are so important that we cannot provide our products and services to you unless you agree to them. By using the Subscription Service or requesting Consulting Services, you are agreeing to these terms.
ServicePal and all of its brands, websites, apps, products, services and technologies (“Services”) are governed by these terms. By using the Services, you agree to these terms, our Privacy policy, our Cookie policy and any community guidelines and supplemental terms provided to you (collectively, “Terms”).
