ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATION:

By becoming or attempting to become a Provider or Owner, or by using this site, every User certifies that the User meets and will continue to meet the following conditions for as long as the user uses the Site or service:

• The User is at least 18 years old and is legally authorized to work within the jurisdiction;
• The User has not been convicted of a crime of any nature, including any felony or any misdemeanor of any kind (other than traffic related offenses); and.
• The User further represents that User is not currently facing charges relating to crimes involving dishonesty or harm to others.

Each User makes the above certification and agrees that (a) NextCrew.com may rely on it as true, and (b) may change the conditions from time to time and require new certifications. Users acknowledge that NextCrew.com does not have actual knowledge that the Eligibility Certification is true. Also, the background checks may not include information regarding traffic violations and NextCrew.com does not make decisions based on traffic violations or infractions. Accordingly, if driving will be part of a Provider’s services, the Provider may wish to ask the Provider to obtain and share a current copy of the provider’s driving record from the relevant department of motor vehicles.

Providers and Owners agree to make their own decisions and assessments about persons they hire. NextCrew.com does not independently verify that any or all of the Eligibility Conditions are met by any User. NextCrew.com may review background check reports on Providers and/or Owners, who authorize NextCrew.com to obtain a background check report, but not all Providers do authorize reports, and reports may or may not be obtainable by NextCrew.com on Owners. NextCrew.com’s review of the report is limited to the information in the report which NextCrew.com does not control and may be ambiguous. Users agree that NextCrew.com may rely on the reports and that NextCrew.com does not undertake to conduct its own independent investigation or inquiry. It is up to Users who are the subject of the reports to ensure their accuracy by exercising their rights under laws applicable to the credit agencies furnishing reports or to discuss with their potential owner or provider lawful details relevant to engagement.

If NextCrew.com becomes aware that an Eligibility Condition is not met or appears not to be met, NextCrew.com may terminate the User without notice or refund and each User agrees to make no further use of the Site or Service after termination. NextCrew.com reserves the right (but does not undertake any duty) to take appropriate legal action if necessary to enforce these rights.
