The Service is a psychic advice marketplace that brings advice-seekers and independent, psychic advisors (“Advisor(s)” or “You”) together through video, telephone, chat, and messaging. Advisors record their responses or respond in real time for telephone calls, live video or chat sessions, along with any optional text, and deliver it to the clients. If your client desires a live psychic reading via chat or telephone, You may invite them to try your services on Purple Garden, available at www.purplegarden.co, or on BitWine, available at www.bitwine.com.
To become an Advisor, You must first download the application and create an advisor profile. You will be required to submit your legal name, address, and telephone number so that We may identify You and contact You. You must also provide Us with your personal payable account information in order to receive payment through the Service. You must upload a photograph of yourself (other images, icons, or illustrations are not permitted), create a profile video and provide profile information to describe the types of services that You offer. Once You complete your profile, You will create and submit a sample reading for Us to review. After We receive your information and review your reading, You will be notified whether You have been accepted as an Advisor. We reserve the right to verify your identity and other background information at any time and You agree that You will provide Us with information to do so at Our reasonable request. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to make sure that your profile is appropriate, and that all information that You provide is true, complete, up to date, and accurately reflects your credentials and is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
By registering as an Advisor, You are not bound to continue to use the Service or to accept orders and provide readings for any length of time. You are free to use the Service when and how you choose, subject to the Advisor Terms. You may stop accepting orders for any period of time or stop using the Service all together for any reason or for no reason at all, provided that You fulfill outstanding orders and existing obligations.
If a client selects You to be their Advisor, You should receive a Platform notification and/or an email message. You must have push notifications enabled in order to receive them. We encourage You to log in often to see if You have any new orders. If You have a pending order, it will be contained in the “My Jobs” section of the app. We recommend that You respond as soon as You can to encourage repeat orders and positive client feedback. If You know that You will be unavailable to fulfill orders You may simply turn your availability status to “off” in the “My Jobs” screen and, provided that no clients were in the process of placing an order, no new orders will be received.
As You fulfill orders, keep in mind your clients will be able to provide feedback and reviews that will appear on your profile. Clients may edit their review for up to 2 weeks after it is entered and We do not remove or edit reviews except for extreme circumstances or to comply with Our Terms of Use.
We will not be liable for any delays or failures in your receipt of any push notifications or emails as delivery is subject to effective transmission from your network operator and processing by your mobile device. These services are provided on an AS IS, AS AVAILABLE basis.
You understand and agree that, as an Advisor and/or user of the Service, You are acting as an independent contractor and not as Our employee, agent, consultant or representative. You have exclusive control of the manner and means of giving your advice, subject to certain prohibited actions referenced below. As an Advisor, You do not have the right to enter into any contract on our behalf. Similarly, by your use of the Service, we are not establishing a partnership, franchise or joint venture between us. Under no circumstances shall You be considered Our employee. By using the Service, You represent and warrant that You have any and all permissions as may be required by federal, state, local, or international law, as applicable, to use the Service as an Advisor.
Charges for all interactions between Advisors and Members will be billed through the Advisor Platform. Purple Ocean will use reasonable efforts to process each Member’s chosen payment method for the amount agreed upon between Member and Advisor (subject to Purple Ocean’s fee structure below) within 7 business days of each transaction. Purple Ocean assesses a commission fee and a connection fee for each session in accordance with the Schedule of Fees and Payments described below:
The Connection Fee is based on the number of billable minutes as follows:
The Connection Fee is first applied when the session ends, and only if the total session cost to the user is greater than $0. Then the commission or platform fee of 64% is deducted from the remaining amount of the Member charge. Purple Ocean may modify the fees at any time upon notice and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice. Administrative fees may apply for additional administrative function such as canceling checks or initiating wire transfers. Advisors are paid the net amount of the charge paid by the Member after deduction of all fees (including any applicable payment processing or other administrative fees disclosed in advance and assessed by Purple Ocean or any applicable payment processing service or provider).
Advisors will be paid each time that they timely fulfill an order for a reading. As an Advisor, You will receive all payments for fulfilling your orders through PayPal or a similar service to be chosen at Our sole discretion. Any revenue that You earn through Our service can be held for up to a period of fourteen (14) business days from the time that it is generated and there is a minimum withdrawal sum of $35. In the event that We receive a complaint about your service from a client and We find the complaint to have merit, We may choose to reverse the payment to your account and credit the client the amount paid for the order. In addition to reversing the payment to your account, depending on your behavior, You may be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with Our Advisor Terms. To withdraw money from your account, simply tap on the “Withdraw” button in the revenue screen of your account. Payment is usually deposited into your personal payable account within 2 to 4 days of your withdrawal request. If an order is placed, but You do not deliver the reading, the payment goes back to the client, You will receive zero compensation, and your account may be subject to suspension or termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Barges reserves sole discretion, for any reason, to either withhold any amount due to You for completed orders or to reverse payments posted to your account.
If You fail to fulfill an order for any reason, the client’s order will be cancelled and your Advisor profile will no longer appear on the Service. You will be unable to accept any new orders until your profile is relisted. However, if for any reason You turn your availability off or You fail to fulfill an order and your profile is removed, You are still responsible for on time delivery of any orders that were pending prior to the change in status. In the event that You violate any of these Advisor Terms, the terms and conditions contained in Our other policies, or You fail to fulfill client orders, Barges retains sole discretion to either (i) suspend an Advisor’s account; (ii) take away or suspend your ability to enter earn bonus compensation through “Rush Delivery” mode; (iii) outright terminate your account; or (iv) take any other action We deem appropriate.
If You feel that your profile was wrongly removed, contact the support team and tell them why.
You, the Advisor, will be solely and fully liable for all conduct, services, advice, postings and transmissions that are made in connection with your use of the Service. We reserve the right to monitor all videos, messages, communications, and content to ensure that You are complying with these Advisor Terms, as well as the terms and conditions contained in our other policies. You understand and agree that all of your communications with clients must be exclusively carried out via the Service. If You fail to abide by this code of conduct, in addition to pursuing any and all other legal remedies available to Us, your account may be suspended or terminated at Our sole discretion.

MUTUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION
1 Agreement to Arbitrate
BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC and you agree to enter into the arbitration agreement contained in this Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) and evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. This Arbitration Provision applies to any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, your relationship with BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC or one of its affiliates, successors, subsidiaries, assigns, or parent companies (together, "BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC"), the termination of that relationship, or any other aspect of your relationship with BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC or any BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC Affiliate, regardless of such dispute's date of accrual, and this Arbitration Provision continues in effect after and survives the termination of any relationship between the parties.
2 How this Arbitration Provision Applies
Except as otherwise stated below, this Arbitration Provision is intended to apply to the resolution of disputes that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law or a forum other than arbitration, and you and BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC agree that any legal dispute or controversy covered by this Arbitration Provision, or arising out of, relating to, or concerning the validity, enforceability or breach of this Arbitration Provision, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures ("JAMS Rules") then in effect, to be held (unless the parties agree in writing otherwise) within 45 miles of where you last provided Services under these Terms of Use. The JAMS Rules are available online, free of charge, at www.jamsadr.com, or by searching for "JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules" using a service such as www.google.com or www.yahoo.com. If for any reason JAMS will not administer the arbitration, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with authority over the location where the arbitration will be conducted for appointment of a neutral arbitrator. If the JAMS Rules are inconsistent with the terms of this Arbitration Provision, the terms of this Arbitration Provision shall govern.
By entering into this Arbitration Provision, you agree to arbitrate disputes with any entity or individual, and waive your right to have such disputes resolved by a trial by a jury or judge, arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, background checks, privacy, your relationship with BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC, the termination of that relationship, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, retaliation, discrimination or harassment, defamation, slander and libel, claims arising under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, California Labor Code, California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California Family Rights Act, Affordable Care Act, Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, city or state statutes or regulations addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other federal or state legal claims arising out of or relating to this relationship, including, but not limited to, claims that may be asserted for any post-relationship conduct or time periods, such as defamation or retaliation.
3 Limitations on how this Arbitration Provision Applies
This Arbitration Provision does not apply to a representative action brought on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 ("PAGA"), California Labor Code § 2698, et seq., to the extent that such an action can only be brought by the state or its representatives, where any resulting judgment is binding on the state, and where any alleged monetary penalties largely go to state coffers.
This Arbitration Provision also does not apply to claims for workers compensation, state disability insurance, or unemployment insurance benefits.
Either you or BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such relief.
Regardless of any other terms of this Arbitration Provision, a claim may be brought before and remedies awarded by an administrative agency if applicable law permits the agency to prosecute or adjudicate the claim notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate that is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Nothing in this Arbitration Provision 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.
This Arbitration Provision also does not apply to disputes between the parties that may not be subject to predispute arbitration agreement provided by an Act of Congress.
4 How Arbitration Proceedings are Conducted
In arbitration, the parties will have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the arbitrator. The statutes of limitations applicable to each claim or cause of action shall apply, and written notice of arbitration shall be initiated within the statute of limitations and other time limitations applicable to each claim or cause of action asserted. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply, except as modified by the arbitrator.
You and BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC agree to resolve any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective action basis ("Class Action Waiver"). The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis, and shall not do so on a class or collective action basis. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arbitration Provision or the JAMS Rules, disputes regarding the enforceability, revocability, or validity of this Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (i) the dispute is filed as a class or collective action; and (ii) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class and/or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Mutual Arbitration Provision, and to the extent permitted by law, (i) you and BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others in arbitration; and (ii) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis (i.e., where you are seeking to pursue a claim on behalf of a government entity) both you and BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC agree that any such dispute shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have been personally 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) ("PAGA Waiver"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arbitration Provision or the JAMS Rules, the validity of the PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of the PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Arbitration Provision; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Provision or the parties' attempt to arbitrate any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Provision; and (iii) any representative action brought under PAGA on behalf of others must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
5 Paying for the Arbitration
You and BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC shall follow the JAMS Rules applicable to initial filing fees, but in no event will you be responsible for any portion of those fees in excess of the filing or initial appearance fees applicable to court actions in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC otherwise shall pay all costs and expenses unique to arbitration, including without limitation the arbitrator's and/or arbitration fees.
Each party will pay the fees for his, her, or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law (e.g., a party prevails on a claim that provides for the award of reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party).
6 The Arbitrator's Decision and Award.
The arbitrator must follow applicable law and may award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in his or her individual capacity in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual in a court of law will be forfeited by virtue of this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, must be in writing, and must contain the arbitrator's reasoning. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court having jurisdiction.
7 Enforcement of this Arbitration Provision; Other Terms
Any party (including BARGES TECHNOLOGIES, INC Affiliates) to this Arbitration Provision may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Arbitration Provision, and to confirm, vacate, or enforce an arbitration award, with each party bearing its own attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in such court proceedings, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. This Arbitration Provision replaces all prior agreements (if any) regarding the arbitration of disputes and is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Arbitration Provision. Except as stated in Section 4 of this Mutual Arbitration Provision above, in the event any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Arbitration Provision will be enforceable.
