Company Information
Para, Inc.
Para, Inc. (“Para”) is a Delaware based corporation and provides various online services designed to help gig workers better manage their work, earn more, track their earnings and find new gigs.
Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy carefully because they govern your use of our website, www.withpara.com, (the “Site”), our products, services, and mobile application (the “App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our products, our App, and various services, are collectively called the “Services.” These Terms govern your access to and use of our Services, whether as visitors, registered users, or account holders (collectively “Users”). By using the Site, or any of our Services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of the Terms, please do not use the Services.
Important Notice Regarding Arbitration
When you agree to these terms, by creating an account or by using the Site or any of the Services, you are agreeing, with limited exception, to resolve any disputes between you and Para through binding individual arbitration rather than in court. Please carefully review the section entitled “Dispute Resolution” for details regarding arbitration and the procedure to opt out of arbitration, should you choose to do so.
Changes to Terms and Services
Our Services are evolving, and hence we may update them and the Terms from time to time. If we modify the Terms, updates will be provided either by posting the updated Terms on our Site or App or through other communications. It is important that you review the Terms whenever we update them. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in the section entitled “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the Services anymore. We may, at our sole discretion, change or discontinue all or any part of the offerings we provide via our Services, at any time and without notice.
Agency
By using the Service, you expressly authorize and direct Para and our third-party service providers, on your behalf, to electronically retrieve your account information maintained by third-party data sources with whom you have a contractual relationship (“Your Account Information”). You agree that when Para retrieves Your Account Information, Para is acting as your agent, and not as the agent of or on behalf of any third party. You agree that third-party account providers shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing authorization, agency and power of attorney granted by you. For purposes of this Agreement and solely to obtain and provide Your Account Information to you as part of the Service, you grant Para a limited power of attorney, and appoint Para as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access third-party sites, servers, or documents, retrieve Your Account Information, and use Your Account Information.
Who May Use the Services?
Certain Services are only available to registered Users. Before becoming a registered User, you must establish an account (an “Account”). Approval of your request to establish an Account will be at the sole discretion of Para. You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older, a US resident with a current SSN or ITIN, are capable of forming a binding contract with Para, and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law. To use certain features of the Services you will need to provide certain information and create an Account. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete, and up-to-date. You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password(s), where applicable, to anyone that you do not intend to have full access to your account, and you’ll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. All transactions and interactions completed through Your Account or under your Account ID will be deemed to have been lawfully completed by you. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them. Para reserves the right to disable any Account, user name, password, or other identifier at any time, in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, there has been a violation of any provision of these Terms or of our Privacy Policy.

Para does not guarantee that the Services, or any portion thereof, will function on any particular hardware or devices.
