AIQOO SERVICES - OVERVIEW
Leads on Demand
AIQOO allows registered users to buy and sell Leads on the Platform. Leads posted for sale on the platform can be offered on a pay-per-lead basis, pay-per-meeting basis or on a shared-revenue basis (please see section Opportunities and Revenue Share for clarification). Only registered users may buy or sell on AIQOO. Registration for a User Account is free of charge. In registering for a User Account, you agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated information and must not create an account for fraudulent or misleading purposes. For additional information regarding registration see Registration section below.
Leads on AIQOO may be offered at a price determined by the Seller. There is no base price for Leads. For each Lead offered for sale, AIQOO strives to reflect and display the Market-based Value, as a suggestion for both the Buyer and Seller, in order to facilitate transparent transaction between them. The Market-based Value is determined by AIQOO’s algorithms on a data-backed basis, in consideration of the former results of Leads sold in the Platform by the Seller. Our recommendation on the suggested Market-based Value per Lead is an essential part of the Platform and by agreeing to these Terms, you declare that you (both Buyers and Seller) shall have no claims or assertions against us nor the Platform in relation to the process and result of the Market-based Value determination mechanism or any lost allegedly caused as a result of them. For the matter of clarity, it should be accentuated that the Seller has the full authority to set the requested price per Lead and the Buyer’s decision to purchase a Lead is based on his sole discretion and judgment. Therefore, in taking a decision to purchase a Lead through the Platform, the Buyer acknowledges and declares that the decision to execute the transaction is taken by him solely, according to his own judgment and knowledge.
Leads available for purchase on the Platform are displayed to Buyers on the “Leads on Demand” feature (“Leads Screen”). Buyers can purchase Leads on AIQOO in one of the following methods:
- One-time order basis – Buyers can purchase a single Lead through the Buy Now button found on the Leads Screen or through a custom offer. For fees and payments please read the Payment Terms.
- Renewable-budget basis – Buyers can secure the consistent flow of Leads, according to their specific requirements by setting an Automatic Agent, thereby not having to make orders on a one-time basis. A Buyer shall be aware that by setting an Automatic Agent, his Buyer Balance will be subjected to an automatic renewal for a varied amount. For fees and payments please read the Payment Terms.
Each Lead sold by a Seller through AIQOO can be transmitted to several different Buyers and for a different purchase price per each Buyer. Our Platform automatically determines the number of Buyers that can purchase a certain Lead, according to numerous criteria that are taken into consideration by our algorithms when a Lead is offered for sale. We do not guarantee to a Seller that a Lead posted to the Platform will be purchased by Buyers. As well, we do not commit to a Buyer that a Lead he purchased is transferred to him exclusively. Both Buyer and Seller should bear in mind that a Lead could be sold to more than one Buyer and for different prices per Lead Sale. When Selling a Lead, the Seller is: (1) declaring that he has received the Service Requestor’s written consent required by law or regulation (including, but not limited to, Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 42 USC 227 and 47 CFR 64.200 and Do Not Call List requirements) that Contractors may contact him for the purpose of providing home service quotes.
Upon purchasing a Lead, the relevant information will be streamed to the
Buyer’s Lead Management feature (“My Leads”),
including all of the personal information of the Service Requestor. For
additional information regarding the My Leads
feature, please see section My Leads below.
When displayed in the Leads Screen, a Lead shall include the flowing
information: (a) The name or brand of the Seller;
(b) The service category for which the Lead is relevant; (c) The zip code,
where the potential job is supposed to take
place in; (d) A summary of the personal information of the Service Requestor
(in headlines) that the Lead contains; (e)
AIQOO’s suggestion regarding the Market-based Value of the Lead; and (f) The
price per Lead requested by the Seller.
The Leads displayed in the Leads Screen can be filtered according to different variables, such as Lead Source, location, requested price, date of posting, etc. You understand that a Lead Source can generate Leads through different marketing methods including but not limited to PPC advertising, social media marketing, SEO marketing, phone calls, SMS, email marketing, and more. By agreeing to these Terms, both Buyer and Seller hereby declare that AIQOO is not a side to the activities and measures taken by them for generating leads nor to validate their quality.
We do not make guarantees, representations, or warranties regarding a Buyer’s level of interest or their desire to purchase Leads. We are not involved in, nor do we have any responsibility for the validity of Leads sold by a Seller to Buyer, although we might take in some case active measures in order to ensure that the Leads sold in the Marketplace are going through a verification process to validate those certain details of the Service Requestor, such as name, address, phone number, etc. are valid and reachable.
IN REGARD TO LEADS PURCHASED BY A BUYER, we do not make guarantees, representations, or warranties regarding Service Requestors’ level of interest, their desire to have work completed, their ability to pay you, the accuracy of the information provided by the Lead Source, or that any Service Requestor will hire you to perform any services, nor do we guarantee that you will successfully contact each Service Requestor. We are not involved in, nor do we have any responsibility for your contracts with Service Requestors, their creditworthiness, or any payments to you or any disputes they may have with you, or you may have with them.
By agreeing to these Terms, both Buyer and Seller declare that they understand AIQOO is not a side to their relationship with Service Requestors and in under no circumstances will be responsible for any claim raised by Service Requestors in relation to their contract or agreement.
Opportunities and Revenue Share
AIQOO may allow Sellers to offer Leads to Buyers on a pay-per-meeting basis (opportunity) or on a shared-revenue (revenue share) basis (the “Additional Offer Bases”). If offered to Buyers on one of those bases, a Lead will be remarked and presented accordingly. All other aspects of offering, purchasing, information managing, etc. will remain the same as determined for Leads on these Terms.
Exclusivity of Leads
IMPORTANT PROVISIONS ESPECIALLY FOR SELLERS. By agreeing to these Terms, a Seller commits that the Leads being sold by him through AIQOO are transferred exclusively to our customers (Buyers). Under no circumstances, a Seller shall sell a Lead that was or going to be transmitted through AIQOO to other clients, especially not through other platforms nor under any agreement or contract with a third party to which AIQOO is not a part. Additionally, a Seller shall not post a Lead for sale on AIQOO if he intends to make use of the Lead for his own purposes, whatever they will be. Any violation of this section will result in suspension or cancellation of the Seller’s User Account. Additionally, in case of a violation as such, we will be entitled to a compensation from the Seller, as described on section X.
IMPORTANT PROVISIONS ESPECIALLY FOR BUYERS. AIQOO is an open platform that allows Sellers to sell Leads directly to Buyers. Although, it might happen that a Buyer will receive a Lead that is sold on AIQOO, from another seller or platform. We limit our Sellers to provide Leads exclusively through our Platform, although we cannot ensure that Service Requestors approach to our Sellers only. A Buyer should be aware that no refund will be granted to him in such a case. For our refund policy, please see section Refund Policy and Disputes below and read our Payment Terms. A Buyer understand that a Lead purchased cannot be sold, re-sold, transmitted, transferred, bestowed, granted, conveyed, delivered, forwarded, pushed, given, sent, shared or imported to any other entity, company, business, customer, associate or user other than the Buyer himself.
Posting Leads to AIQOO
A Seller can post Leads to the Platform in order to sell them to Buyers (“Posting”). The Posting can be made in two (2) different methods:
- Direct Post: transfer of Leads in real-time directly from the Seller to the Platform. A Lead that was posted directly to the Platform cannot be claimed back by the Seller.
- Ping Post API: a Seller can send partial information regarding each Lead to the Platform (“Ping”). The Lead will be offered to Buyers for a limited time frame, determined by the Seller. In case a Lead was not purchased by any Buyer during the time frame, the Seller will be able to withdraw the Posting and the Lead’s Ping will be removed from the Leads on Demand list.
A Seller will be permitted to offer a Lead for sale through the Platform, considering that the Lead contains at least the following information:
- The name of the Service Requestor.
- The type of job requested by the Service Requestor.
- The zip code, where the potential job is supposed to take place in.
- A valid telephone/mobile number of the Service Requestor.
- The total price per Lead requested by the Seller.
Any additional information regarding the Service Requestor, including but not limited to his residential address, his email address, his answers to a specific relevant questionnaire, other services requested by him (i.e. financing) and more, could increase the chances that a certain Lead will be sold through the Platform.
For clarification purposes, no matter the Posting method chosen by a Seller, when offered for sale on the Leads Screen, only the Ping information regarding each Lead will be displayed to Buyers.
We may change the Posting methods or the requirements for making a post to the Platform at any time and according to our sole discretion.
Leads Management
We provide Buyers with a CRM-like lead management platform (“Lead Management Tool”) for easy tracking and managing of information, that can be accessed through their User Account. The Lead Management Tool is enhanced by Machine-Learning algorithms (Artificial Intelligence) that allow us to collect and analyze data in order to provide our Users with a better solution for business optimization and to reduce their marketing and advertising expenses.
A Lead purchased by a Buyer will be automatically transmitted to his Lead Management Tool. For each Lead purchased we may use the Data Feedback collected to our own needs, specifically to analyse patterns, reflect the Market-based Value and deliver other services. Data Feedback makes an essential part of AIQOO and is included in Your Content. The Data Feedback provided by Buyers while managing a Lead are used to determine both the Market-based Value of a Lead and the Quality Score of the User. Buyers are encouraged to communicate to AIQOO as much Data Feedbacks as they can, so that we will be able to provide them with a better solution. Data reported per Lead will not be removed from our databases and shall survive in case of a termination or suspension of a User Account. To prevent any misuse of our Data Feedback system (i.e. reporting false statuses in regard to the Lead management process), and to validate the legitimacy of information reported through it, all the data is compared with the Data Feedback we collect from other AIQOO’s users in real time. Any abusive behavior in the AIQOO Platform with respect to the lead management process or refund requests will result in a permanent suspension of all related User Accounts of the entity involved.
For your convenience, on the dashboard page, a summary of each user’s activities will be displayed to ensure an easy access to reviewing and managing leads, tasks and operations and providing Data Feedbacks. The information displayed on the dashboard page includes an essence of Leads status, calendar review, calculated Quality Score, chart of exposure to other users or Service Requestors, user’s Community Network feed and more. Additionally, the dashboard may present promotions, notifications, sponsored information, system notices and general information regarding the Platform, such as a launch of a new feature, and updates to these Terms of Use, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Payments Terms.
AIQOO Community Network
The AIQOO Community Network is a place for Service Professionals and Service Providers to virtually meet, connect, collaborate, and grow their business. The Community Network includes 3 main features:
- Business Directory – build your own Business Profile, and search the directory for other service professionals. The directory is an open access feature, allows both registered users and unregistered visitors of the AIQOO’s website to review each business’s profile.
- Collaboration Network – find and see all open collaboration opportunities, build your community of Service Providers (such as sub-contractors, salesmen, designers, architects, lawyers, accountants, and others) and invite your existing service providers to join you at AIQOO. Locate and connect to new Service Providers and Service Professionals in order to develop meaningful partnerships, close more jobs, discover new business opportunities (such as flip deals), reach more clients, and increase your revenue.
- Live Feed – stay tuned by ensuring your access to all recent activities, changes in regulations and essential developments in the industry, share and post ideas, get advised, and take part in conversations in real time.
The AIQOO Community Network is an essential part of the Platform. AIQOO Community Network is open to all registered users through their User Account. For the matter of clarity, the use of the AIQOO Community Network is subjected to these Terms and in particular to the User content and information provisions set forth as part of them.
Financing & Loans Offerings

Financing solutions may include offering such as Line of Credit (LOC), Term Loans, Home Equity Loan (HEL), Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), and other forms of personal loans (“Financing”). All Lending Partners are trusted, top-rated businesses approved by AIQOO prior to integration, based on a due-diligence process and a security check.

LEADS SELL, OFFERINGS AND RECEIVING PAYMENTS
General

Registration for a User Account is free of charge. In registering for a User Account, you agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated information and must not create an account for fraudulent or misleading purposes. For additional information regarding registration see the Registration section as part of our Terms of Use.
AIQOO is an open marketplace, where you can post Leads for sale. You shall bear in mind that we do not guarantee that a Lead posted to the Platform will be purchased by Buyers. For more information regarding the process of leads post, leads sale and the relevant requirement for offering Leads on the Platform please see the Leads on Demand section on our Terms of Use.
By offering Leads to Buyers through the Platform, you declare you have read and agreed to our Terms of Service, and specifically to these Payment Terms.
Receiving Payments
Sellers can sell Leads through the Marketplace, directly to Buyers, whilst determining the requested price per Lead Sale or per the aggregated Lead Sales.
Each Lead you sell and successfully deliver, accredits your account with revenue, in respect to the number of Lead Sales, as follows:
- For the first Lead Sale, a revenue equal to 80% of the purchase amount.
- For the second Lead Sale, a revenue equal to 70% of the purchase amount.
- For the third Lead Sale and for any Lead Sale after, a revenue equal to 60% of the purchase amount.
AIQOO accredits Sellers once a Lead Sale is completed. See the "Orders” section in the Terms of Use for an explanation regarding the selling process and when an order is regarded as delivered.
If a Lead Sale is canceled (for any reason), the funds paid will be returned to the Buyer Balance.
Sellers are responsible for paying any direct or indirect taxes, including any GST, VAT or income tax, which may apply to them depending on residency, location or otherwise, under provisions of their jurisdiction. Sellers represent and warrant that they comply, and will comply at all times, with their obligations under income tax provisions in their jurisdiction. The price shown on the Lead Screen or on any other place on the Platform, except if specifically stated, is inclusive of all such taxes and charges that may apply to the Sellers.
Appointment as Limited Payment Collection Agent: Seller hereby appoints AIQOO as Seller’s limited authorized payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting payments (via its Payment Services Provider, if applicable) from Buyer, and remitting those payments to Seller. Seller agrees that payment from Buyer to AIQOO shall be considered the same as a made directly to Seller. Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller will be satisfied upon receipt of payment by AIQOO (or its Payment Services Provider, as applicable), and AIQOO (via its Payment Services Provider, as applicable) is responsible for remitting the funds to the Seller in the manner described in these Payment Terms. In the event that AIQOO (via Payment Services Provider) does not remit any such amounts to Seller, the Seller will have recourse only against AIQOO and not the Buyer directly. Seller agrees that AIQOO may describe or otherwise reflect the terms contained herein in any terms of service, receipts, disclosures, or notices including, but not limited to, receipts provided to Buyers that AIQOO may deem necessary or prudent.
AIQOO partners with Payment Services Providers for purposes of collecting payments from Buyers, transferring such payments from Buyers to Sellers, and holding funds in connection with Seller Balances and Buyer Balances. All payments services in connection with the withdrawal of funds on the Platform are performed by our Payment Services Providers.

Your User Account (Sellers only) can be associated with only one account from each AIQOO withdrawal method. A Payment Service Provider withdrawal account can be associated with only one AIQOO User Account (Sellers only).
Revenues are only made available for withdrawal from the Revenue page following a safety clearance period of 14 days after a Lead Sale is completed.
Sellers may withdraw their revenues using one of our withdrawal options (see Withdrawal Section below regarding payment terms). To withdraw your available revenue, you must click on the designated withdrawal provider to initiate the withdrawal process.
For security concerns, AIQOO may temporarily disable a Seller’s ability to withdraw revenue to prevent fraudulent or illicit activity. This may come as a result of security issues, improper behavior reported by other users, or associating multiple AIQOO accounts to a single withdrawal provider.
Withdrawals can only be made in the amount available to you. Per each withdrawal, a Seller is required to pay a withdrawal fee that vary depending on the withdrawal method (“Withdrawal Fee”).
You understand that withdrawals are final and cannot be undone. Therefore, we will not be able to reverse this process once it has begun.

MAKING ORDERS
General
AIQOO allows registered users to buy and sell Leads on the Platform; Only registered users may buy or sell on AIQOO. Registration for a User Account is free of charge. In registering for a User Account, you agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated information and must not create an account for fraudulent or misleading purposes. For additional information regarding registration see the Registration Section as part of our Terms of Use.
Each Buyer holds a Buyer Balance available through his User Account. A Buyer can deposit credit to his Buyer Balance at any time. Alternatively, a Buyer can choose working on a renewable payment plan by setting up an Automatic Agent (please see section Automatic Agent below). When purchasing a Lead, the applicable price will be deducted out of the Buyer’s Balance.
For placing an Order through AIQOO, a Buyer can use one of the following methods:
- One-time order basis – Buyers can purchase a single Lead through the Buy Now button found on the Leads Screen or through a custom offer. The Order will be created and approved once a payment in the amount equivalent to the Fees is confirmed.
- Renewable-budget basis – Buyers can secure the consistent flow of Leads,
according to their specific requirements by
setting an Automatic Agent, thereby not having to make Orders on a
one-time basis.
The Order will be created subject to remaining Buyer Balance, and the Fees will be deducted out of it. Please mind that that by setting an Automatic Agent, the Buyer Balance shall be subjected to an automatic renewal for a varied amount that will be charged of the Buyer’s payment method. For more information and definition of the Automatic Agent please see section Automatic Agent below.
For each Lead offered for sale, AIQOO reflects and displays the Market-based Value, as a suggestion for both the Buyer and Seller, in order to facilitate transparent transaction between them. The Market-based Value is determined by AIQOO’s algorithms on a data-backed basis, in consideration of the former results of Leads sold in the Platform by the Seller. Our recommendation on the suggested Market-base Value can be made per Lead or per Lead Sale and is an essential part of the Platform. By agreeing to our Terms of Service, you declare that you shall have no claims or assertions against us nor the Platform in relation to the process and final result of the Market-based Value determination mechanism. For the matter of clarity, it should be accentuated that the Seller has the full authority to set the requested price per Lead or per Lead Sale (as applicable in the Platform) and the Buyer’s decision to purchase a Lead is based on his sole discretion and judgment. Therefore, in taking a decision to purchase a Lead through the Platform, the Buyer acknowledges and declares that the decision to complete an order is taken by him solely, according to his own judgment and knowledge.
Each Lead can be sold through AIQOO numerous times (Lead Sales) to different Buyers and for a different price per Lead Sale. The Platform automatically determines the number of Buyers that can purchase a certain Lead, according to several criteria that are taken into consideration by our algorithms when a Lead is offered for sale. We do not commit to a Buyer that a Lead he purchased is transferred to him exclusively.
Buyers pay AIQOO to create a lead order from a Seller, through the Leads Screen or a custom offer, using the Buy Now button. A Lead purchased by a Buyer will be automatically transmitted to the Lead Management Tool in his User Account.
AIQOO partners with Payment Services Providers for purposes of collecting all payments from Buyers, transferring such payments from Buyers to Sellers, and holding funds in connection with the Buyers’ and Sellers’ Balances. All payments services in connection with the collection of funds on the Platform are performed by AIQOO’s Payment Services Providers.
AIQOO serves as Seller’s limited authorized payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting payments (via its Payment Services Provider, if applicable) from Buyer, and remitting those payments to Seller. Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller will be satisfied upon receipt of payment by AIQOO (or its Payment Services Provider, as applicable), and AIQOO (via its Payment Service Provider, as applicable) is responsible for remitting the funds to the Seller in the manner described in these Payment Terms. If AIQOO (via Payment Services Provider) does not remit any such amounts to Seller, the Seller will have recourse only against AIQOO and not the Buyer directly.
In most locations, purchases on the Marketplace can be made by using one of the following payment methods: Credit Card, AIQOO Credits or existing Buyer Balance.
AIQOO may add the service fees at the time of purchase where you can review and accept the total amount requested to pay. These fees cover administrative fees. As of December 2021, the service fees are 5.5% of the purchase amount. For purchases under $50 an additional $2 small order fee will be applied.
You may not offer Sellers to pay or make payment using any method other than through the AIQOO Platform. In case you have been asked to use an alternative payment method, please report it immediately to Customer Support here.
You agree to receive invoices and/or payment receipts from AIQOO in electronic form as PDF documents, by email or through the Platform.
To protect against fraud, unauthorized transactions (such as money laundering), claims, or other liabilities, payment information in connection with withdrawals is collected by either AIQOO or our Payment Services Providers. Payment Services Providers may also collect such other information as necessary for the purpose of processing withdrawal payments. We are not exposed to the payment information provided to Payment Services Providers, and this information is subject to the privacy policy applicable to the Payment Service Provider. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information here.
By using any payment method and/or providing payment details for making purchases on AIQOO, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are legally authorized to provide such information; (b) you are legally authorized or have permission to make payments using the payment method(s); (c) if you are an employee or agent of a company or person that owns the payment method, you are authorized by that company or person to use the payment method to make payments on the Platform; and (d) such actions do not violate any applicable law.
Automatic Agent
A Buyer can set up an Automatic Agent, thereby launching a campaign for automatic purchase of Leads in accordance with specific criteria, including (but not limited to): category (service type), location (geographic coverage), relevant days during the week to receive Leads, budget required per campaign (daily/weekly/monthly), price cap per Lead and relevant lead sources.
When setting up an Automatic Agent, the system will start purchasing Leads on your behalf in respective to the preferences you defined. As long as an Automatic Agent is active (marked as “on”), the system will continue purchasing new Leads on your behalf. If there is one or more active Automatic Agents, your Buyer Balance will be subjected to an automatic renewal so that the system could continue the lead flow to your account. The automatic renewal will be made when your Buyer Balance reaches a remaining balance of $100 (“Renewal Event”). At each Renewal Event your Buyer Balance will be charged in the amount of $500. By setting up an Automatic Agent you acknowledge and approve to AIQOO to automatically recharge your Buyer Balance at the Renewal Event.
A Buyer can have an unlimited number of active Automatic Agents in parallel. You can add Automatic Agents at any time and manage, edit, or pause your existing ones through the “Leads Agents” screen. To your knowledge, all Automatic Agents and the information contained within fall under the definition of Your Content.
The Automatic Agent can be turned-off (marked as “off”) at any time through the “Lead Agents” screen. As a result, the campaign will be paused, and you will not be receiving the respected Leads automatically. After an Automatic Agent is turned-off, it is displayed on the “Leads Agents” screen and marked as “off”, for the ease of future use.

returns of Fees or refunds will be given.
If you are a User receiving services from a Service Provider, your rights
will be governed by your contract with the
Service Provider, including the relevant terms of service you have agreed to
when communicating with the Service
Provider, and by applicable federal, state, and local laws.
In rare circumstances where we find it appropriate, our Customer Support team may cancel a completed order even after 14 days have passed from its completion. In such cases, the Fees will be credited to the Buyer’s Balance. We may as well, and we reserve the right to refuse a certain service to or an order made by any Buyer for any reason. Errors in Orders will be corrected when discovered, and we reserve the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission.
Please see the Disputes and Order Cancellation Basics section below for more information and provisions.
Disputes and Order Cancellation Basics
- Order cancellations and refund requests can be performed on AIQOO, when eligible, through the Customer Support Center here, per order.
- Filing a transaction dispute or reversing a payment through your payment provider or your bank is a violation of these Payment Terms. Doing so may get your User Account temporarily or permanently disabled. Note: Once you have filed a dispute with your payment provider, the funds will be ineligible for a refund.
- In the event that you encounter an issue related to the Lead Sale or any other service provided to you, you are encouraged to open a new ticket on our Customer Support Center here, to resolve the matter.
- Eligibility for requests to AIQOO to cancel an order will be assessed by our Customer Support team based on a number of factors, including violations of our Terms of Service and/or our Acceptable Use Policy general misconduct, and improper usage of the AIQOO Platform.
- Completed orders (or, where applicable, completed milestones) may be canceled, upon review of our Customer Support team, up to 14 days after the order (or Milestone) is marked as complete. Please be advised that orders cannot be partially canceled as they involve the Sale of one Lead only (i.e. we can only cancel the entire order when it is justified).
- Any non-permitted usage of the Platform encountered during an Order, after being reviewed by our Customer Support team, may result in the order being canceled. This includes, but not limited to; harassment, unlawful behavior, or other violations of AIQOO’s Terms of Service.
- AIQOO, through its Payment Services Provider, reserves the right to cancel orders or place funds on hold for any suspected fraudulent transactions made on the Platform.
- All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer shall be subject to full payment and the delivery may not be used if payment is canceled for any reason.
- If an order is canceled (for any reason) or a refund request is approved, the funds paid will be returned to the Buyer’s Balance.
Refund Policy
AIQOO allows Buyers to file a refund request, when eligible, through the Customer Support Center here, per order. When applying for a refund, a Buyer shall provide full and clear information regarding the transaction, to depict the process made to manage and handle the Lead and to elaborate on the reason for the refund request. AIQOO’s Customer Support team shall examine each refund request to verify the information provided by the Buyer, before taking any measure to approve or disapprove the request (the “Refund Inspection”). A refund will be approved in limited cases where it is found, during the Refund Inspection, that one of the following cases is evident:
- The provided Lead does not meet the geographic coverage presented by the Seller or determined by the Buyer when setting the Automatic Agent.
- The provided Lead does not meet the type of home services project presented by the Seller or determined by the Buyer when setting the Automatic Agent.
- The communication methods with the Service Requestor provided by the Seller are disconnected or non-operational so that no connection to the Service Requestor is possible (i.e. both phone number is invalid and email is unreachable).
- The Service Requestor denies providing information for or requesting to get an estimate for the relevant project type.
- The Service Requestor is not the homeowner, or is not legally able to make changes to the property for which the services are required.
By approving the Terms of Service and these Payment Terms, you acknowledge and agree that AIQOO has the full capacity to take a decision when a refund is eligible.
