You acknowledge and agree that Meta Staffing INC is a technology services provider that offers a communication platform enabling business customers to access and manage the services of virtual personnel sourced and employed by independent third-party service providers and/or independent contractor entities (collectively, “Contracted Companies”). Meta Staffing INC itself does not employ, engage, or manage these Assistants, nor does Meta Staffing INC supervise, direct, or control the performance of any Assistant’s duties. Meta Staffing INC’s role is strictly limited to providing Clients with (a) access to the Platform and associated tools to communicate with their assigned Assistant(s), and (b) subscription-based account management and related services.

At no time will Meta Staffing INC be deemed an employer, co-employer, joint employer, principal, partner, franchisor, or agent of any Client, Assistant, or Contracted Company. Clients acknowledge that Assistants are not employees or agents of Meta Staffing INC, and that Clients bear all risk associated with relying on the services rendered by these independent Assistants.

By using our Services and/or communication platform(s), you expressly agree that no fiduciary, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship exists between you and Meta Staffing INC. Meta Staffing INC does not undertake any duty to monitor, investigate, vet, guarantee, or ensure the honesty, financial responsibility, or quality of the Assistants or Contracted Companies. Any statements made by Meta Staffing INC, whether orally or in marketing materials, regarding the capabilities, reliability, or suitability of Assistants are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or promise. You agree not to rely on such statements as grounds for claims against Meta Staffing INC.

Clients are solely responsible for evaluating and verifying the competence, trustworthiness, and background of Assistants. While Meta Staffing INC may facilitate introductions and provide access to productivity tools, Clients must perform their own due diligence before entrusting Assistants with tasks or granting them access to accounts, funds, or confidential information. Meta Staffing INC makes no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any information provided by Assistants or Contracted Companies, and Meta Staffing INC shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or harm resulting from a Client’s reliance on such information.

They should not be construed as guarantees, warranties, or contractual obligations by Meta Staffing INC. The Terms of Service, not marketing statements, govern the relationship between Clients and Meta Staffing INC, and any conflicts between marketing claims and the Terms shall be resolved in favor of these Terms.

  1. Payment
  • Billing Policies.
    Thank you for your interest in Meta Staffing INC (also known as “Meta Staffing INC AI Technologies, Inc.” or “Meta Staffing INC”) In this section, we will cover some of Meta Staffing INC’s Billing Policies. As Meta Staffing INC deals with the employment of human resources globally, billing appropriately to ensure all of our talents are fairly and morally compensated is one of our core responsibilities, and moral duties. 

    1. Deposits

    Deposits are the fee that you will pay when first engaging Meta Staffing INC, and pays for our global sourcing teams to spend hours sourcing, assessing, intervieMeta Staffing INC, narroMeta Staffing INC down, intervieMeta Staffing INC again, and eventually selecting & matching appropriate talent(s) for your account. For every 1 person we hire, we screen between 100-200 people, depending on the role.

    Deposits are non-refundable, and should you choose to not continue with Meta Staffing INC, we are unable to refund your deposit. The only circumstance under which Meta Staffing INC may consider, in its sole discretion, a refund, is if Meta Staffing INC has failed to provide you with a talent after 31 calendar days. Deposits, do however count towards your plan price. For example, if you are subscribing to a plan that costs $1,299, and your deposit was $200, your first payment will be $1,099.

    2. Billing Periods & Automatic Renewal

    When you work with Meta Staffing INC, the assumption that is made clear to all parties from the beginning, is that your subscription with Meta Staffing INC will automatically renew every month until your Cancellation Notice (defined in Section 3) occurs.

    The date upon which your Meta Staffing INC talent(s) starts working for you that is agreed upon by you and our team members during the sales or onboarding process (the “Start Date”) will be the first day of your subscription (the “Subscription Start Date”). If you are unresponsive to our communications prior to, on, or after this date, or forget about this date entirely, or are unavailable for any other reason, your Meta Staffing INC talent(s) are still assigned only to you in a dedicated capacity, and as they are human resources that you are ultimately responsible for, you will still be charged for their time. Payment for services to be rendered over the course of the first month of service will be deducted on this date. Payment for services will then continue to be charged every month thereafter (your “Subscription Renewal Date”). Payment will be automatically deducted from the chosen Payment Method on file.

    If for any reason you are unable to pay your bill on the Subscription Renewal Date, our systems will continue to automatically attempt to charge you for 7 days, during or after which your Customer Success Manager will reach out to address the billing issue. If the billing issue is not resolved within 10 calendar days, your services may be interrupted, and your virtual talent(s) may be reassigned to other clients. You are financially liable for any periods during which your virtual talent(s) were working but your subscription was in an unpaid status.

    2a. Payment Methods

    Payment methods that Meta Staffing INC accepts include: credit and debit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover) and ACH (Automated Clearing House) with US bank accounts. Instant verification of US bank accounts are facilitated by our banking technology partner, Plaid. All payments, including but not limited to credit, debit, and banking are processed by our financial technology partner, Stripe, a PCI-Level 1 Compliant payment processor.

    Payment for Deposits (as detailed in section 1) will typically be taken using a credit or debit card. Where Meta Staffing INC accepts ACH and other comparable direct bank transfer payment options, Meta Staffing INC imposes a Credit/Debit Card Payment Processing Fee, which is $35 USD per client per month. Meta Staffing INC will typically waive the first month’s Credit/Debit Card Payment Processing Fee. However, for every month of service including and beyond month 2, Meta Staffing INC will levy a $35 USD fee per month in order to offset our average cost of clients using a Credit or Debit card to pay for services. As our chargeable amounts are quite large, we must do this in order to continue providing high quality services at the price point that we offer. If for any reason the use of ACH or other comparable direct bank transfer payment options in markets in which we accept them is not achievable for you, please contact your Customer Success Manager to help you resolve this issue.

    For clients that have an annual contract size of $48,000 USD or greater OR for clients that are on our Enterprise plans, you may request custom payment methods. Please contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss your options and requirements.

    3. Cancellation of Services and 10 day Cancellation Notice period

    If you would like to cancel your services and terminate your next automatic renewal, you must contact your Customer Success Manager with your instruction to cancel the services by email or via the chat service found on our website, if available (your “Cancellation Notice”), who will help you execute the necessary steps to cancel your services within 10 calendar days from your Cancellation Notice.

    As our operations involve dealing with the employment of human resources, often in countries with diverse and differing laws to the United States, Meta Staffing INC has a 10 day Cancellation Notice period, this means that once you provide your Cancellation Notice, your services are still active and in effect for 10 calendar days thereafter. Therefore, if you would like to cancel your services, you must let your Customer Success Manager know 10 calendar days or more prior to your Subscription Renewal Date. If you do not provide us with at least 10 days of notice, you will be charged for your next month of service, and may continue using your services for the remaining month of service.

    If you wish to Pause your Services instead of outright cancelling, you may contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss your options. Pausing usually requires the selection of a date to continue your Services, and does not guarantee your original talent(s) will be available to continue to serve you. Typically, after a Pause or Cancellation, talent(s) will be assigned to other clients.

    4. Missed Planning Calls

    During the sign up process for Meta Staffing INC, you will be asked to schedule a Planning Call with your Customer Success Manager. Failure to attend a scheduled Planning Call with your Customer Success Manager during the sign-up process will result in your sign-up being processed based on our standard specifications for your chosen role that you selected during your sign up 1 day after the missed Planning Call. The Start Date that we have on file is what we will use for the Subscription Start Date. If you are not satisfied with the talent that was selected for you, please contact your Customer Success Manager who will schedule a call to discuss your requirements and help you find a suitable replacement.

    5. Disputes, Chargebacks & Refunds

    Initiating a dispute or a chargeback against Meta Staffing INC will result in an immediate termination of services until resolution. Meta Staffing INC maintains a comprehensive record of your interactions and accepted agreements to validate any dispute. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to explain the circumstances.

    All charges are non-refundable, however, Meta Staffing INC may consider refunds on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion.

    Meta Staffing INC reserves the right to update or modify these Billing Policies at any time. Important changes in terms, as defined by Meta Staffing INC, will be conveyed to current & active clients via email, and updated here on this page.

  • Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Meta Staffing INC.
      1. This agreement to arbitrate (the “Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives after the Terms terminate or your relationship with Meta Staffing INC ends. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Except as expressly provided below, the Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Meta Staffing INC, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, and assigns, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, agents, and shareholders.
      2. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BELOW, ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (EACH, A “CLAIM,” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND Meta Staffing INC. These Claims include but are not limited to any dispute, claim, or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: these Terms and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof), the Services, any other goods or services made available through the Services, your relationship with Meta Staffing INC, the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation, or termination of your User Account or these Terms, payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you, any promotions or offers made by Meta Staffing INC, any city, county, state, or federal wage-hour law, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, emotional distress, breach of any express or implied contract or covenant, claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws, claims arising under antitrust laws, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act, and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Meta Staffing INC and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.
      3. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND Meta Staffing INC ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. The Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of the Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.
  • Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.
      1. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND Meta Staffing INC MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND Meta Staffing INC BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUBSECTION (C) SHALL NOT APPLY TO REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST Meta Staffing INC.
      2. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis.
      3. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, the Arbitration Agreement, or the AAA Rules (defined below), disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action, and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, the class, collective, and/or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.
    2. Representative PAGA Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms or the Arbitration Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (1) you and Meta Staffing INC agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under the PAGA, both you and Meta Staffing INC agree that any such dispute shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “representative PAGA Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms, the Arbitration Agreement, or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of this representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the Parties agree that litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
  • Rules Governing the Arbitration.
      1. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by the provisions set forth in these Terms. Copies of the AAA Rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding.
      2. As part of the arbitration, both you and Meta Staffing INC will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
      3. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users or Fulfillers but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User or Fulfiller to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.
    2. Location and Manner of Arbitration. Unless you and Meta Staffing INC agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Meta Staffing INC and a User will take place in the county of your billing address, and any arbitration hearings between Meta Staffing INC and a Fulfiller will take place in the county in which the Fulfiller provides Services. If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a AAA arbitration. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, Meta Staffing INC agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as determined by the AAA Rules. If your Claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
  • Exceptions to Arbitration.
      1. The Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the folloMeta Staffing INC types of claims: (1) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction; (2) a representative action brought on behalf of others under the PAGA or other private attorneys general acts, to the extent the representative PAGA Waiver in Section 9(d) of such action is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction; (3) claims for workers’ compensation, state disability insurance, and unemployment insurance benefits; and (4) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of law.
      2. Nothing in the Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state, or federal agency, and nothing in the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration; however, you knoMeta Staffing INCly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint and instead may seek such relief only through arbitration under these Terms. Nothing in these Terms or the Arbitration Agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim, or charge otherwise covered by the Arbitration Agreement.
    2. Severability. In addition to the severability provisions in subsection (d) above, in the event that any portion of the Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
    3. Fulfiller Claims in Pending Settlement. If you are a member of a putative class in a lawsuit against Meta Staffing INC involving Fulfiller Claims and a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement has been filed with the court in that lawsuit prior to the Effective Date (a “Pending Settlement Action”), then the Arbitration Agreement shall not apply to your Fulfiller Claims in that particular class action. Instead, your Fulfiller Claims in that Pending Settlement Action shall continue to be governed by the arbitration provisions contained in the applicable agreement that you accepted prior to the Effective Date.
  • Opting Out of Arbitration for Fulfiller Claims That Are Not in a Pending Settlement Action.
    1. As a Fulfiller, you may opt out of the requirement to arbitrate Fulfiller Claims, pursuant to the terms of this subsection.
