Terms of Service

By creating an account or using Floral Talent, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Floral Talent is a professional profile and job board platform for the floral industry. We provide tools for creating professional profiles, posting job listings, and connecting floral professionals with opportunities. Floral Talent is not an employer, employment agency, recruiter, or staffing service. We are a venue that connects independent users; we are not a party to any employment, contractor, or other relationship that may form between users.

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to use our services. One person or entity may only maintain one account.

You retain ownership of content you post (profile information, portfolio images, job listings, messages). By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute that content through and in connection with the platform. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the rights to content you upload, including any third-party photos, designs, or logos. We may remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Floral Talent provides the platform; users are responsible for the content and consequences of their interactions.

• No employer relationship. Floral Talent is not the employer of any talent and is not a party to any agreement that forms between an employer and a talent. We do not direct work, set compensation, or control the manner of any engagement.
• No agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship is created between Floral Talent and any user.
• No verification. We do not verify the identity, credentials, references, work authorization, insurance, or background of any user. We do not verify that a job listing is legitimate or that a job poster has the legal right to post it. Users are responsible for their own due diligence.
• Equal opportunity & lawful listings. Job posters represent that their listings comply with all applicable employment, anti-discrimination, wage, and tax laws. Listings that solicit unlawful discrimination or that violate applicable law will be removed.
• Talent obligations. Talent users represent that they are legally permitted to perform the work for which they apply and that their submitted information is accurate.
• Disputes between users. Disputes between users are resolved directly between those users. Floral Talent is not a forum for adjudicating those disputes and has no obligation to mediate, investigate, or take sides.
• No guarantees. We do not guarantee that any job listing will result in a hire, that any application will receive a response, or that any user will earn or receive any specific outcome.

Certain features require a paid subscription or one-time payment. Payments are processed by Stripe. Subscription terms and pricing are displayed at the time of purchase. Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis and are at our discretion unless otherwise required by law. You are responsible for any taxes associated with your purchase.

You may not:

• Post false, misleading, or fraudulent content
• Harass, threaten, or discriminate against other users
• Use the platform for any illegal purpose
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to access the platform
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
• Impersonate another person or entity
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or another user’s account
• Post spam, unsolicited commercial messages, or links to malware
• Circumvent rate limits, security controls, or access restrictions

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. We are not responsible for the actions, content, or outcomes of users on the platform.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the foregoing exclusions may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bring the Garden Inside LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption — arising out of or relating to your use of the platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Damages cap. Our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service is limited to the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100) or (b) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the foregoing exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bring the Garden Inside LLC and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) your use of the service, (b) your User Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us.

Floral Talent respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the platform infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent that includes:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the material to be removed and information sufficient to locate it (e.g. URL)
• Your contact information (address, telephone, email)
• A statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act

We will respond to valid notices and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material. Repeat infringers’ accounts will be terminated. Counter-notices may be submitted under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms or for any reason, with or without notice. You may delete your account at any time through your account settings. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitation of liability) will survive.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via email or platform notification at least 14 days before they take effect, where practicable. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service that is not subject to a separate dispute-resolution mechanism shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Floral Talent regarding the service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
