"We" refers to Honor. We provide non-medical services in the home (the "Services"). Honor’s technology, including its website, the Honor Family App and the Honor Care Pro App, are referred to as the "Platform" and are considered part of the Services. 1. Nature of the Services The Services do not include medical services or advice. You should consult with an appropriately trained professional or medical provider for all concerns that require professional or medical advice. As part of the Services, we collect information about the care recipient and transmit that information to you and others (for example, information about eating habits, sleep, mood, pain, etc.). All information is collected and transmitted for your convenience only, and we are not responsible for taking action on any information that we collect or observe. Care Pros may provide medication reminders and assistance with medication self-administration but may not dispense or administer medications. They may provide assistance with self-application of a digital blood pressure cuff but may not take or interpret vital signs. Care Pros may not provide wound care or perform any task that penetrates the skin, such as injections or skin-prick blood tests. Care Pros are "Personal Attendants" under Wage Order 15. Care Pros cannot spend more than 20% of their time performing activities that are not directly related to the independent living of the care recipient. Work that is not directly related to the independent living of the care recipient includes the performance of services primarily for the benefit of other members of the household. If you request Care Pros to perform duties that cause them to exceed the requirements above, you agree to pay any additional wages or penalties that may be due, including overtime, meal and rest period pay, tax liabilities, and any fees or penalties. Although Care Pros can perform light housekeeping for the benefit of the recipient, they are not housecleaners. They may not be asked to perform housework in parts of the house not used by the recipient, or to perform any heavy duty housework such as scrubbing floors, washing windows, moving furniture or yard work. 2.

Changes to Terms or Service We may modify the Terms, including the rates it charges you, by sending notice under Section 15.

Acknowledgment of Risks; Insurance; Release and Limitation of Liability Home care offers an opportunity for people to live independently in their home by receiving assistance with daily activities. However, non-medical home care aides such as our Care Pros cannot provide the same level of safety, support or care as could be found with skilled-nursing or facility-based care. There are risks associated with choosing home care and it is ultimately up to you to determine whether the level of care you require is appropriate for home care. We cannot guarantee that the use of the Services will prevent the Recipient from suffering an injury or illness or that the Recipient’s condition will stabilize or improve. We carry professional and commercial liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate, and $1,000,000 of theft insurance. In addition all Care Pros are covered by workers’ compensation insurance. You hereby release Honor and our officers, agents, employees, contractors and representatives from any liability for injuries, property loss or other damages arising out of the Services to the fullest extent permitted by the law. You expressly waive and relinquish any rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states as follows: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Honor shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, or for personal injury, death or property loss or damage or for any damages in excess of the amount you have paid Honor for services in the six (6) month period preceding the claim or action. 14. Governing Law These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

You may give notice to us at any time by first class mail or pre-paid post to Honor Home Care Services California, Inc., 201 3rd St, Suite 1010, San Francisco, CA 94103, or by email at legal@joinhonor.com. Notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 48 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 12 hours after sending (if sent by email or posted on the Platform). 16. Miscellaneous These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. We may assign these Terms without your consent to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) an acquirer of our equity, business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void. Except as provide in Section 17 "Agreement to Arbitrate," If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law. 17. Agreement to Arbitrate; Dispute Resolution You and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court. You acknowledge and agree that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and we otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Agreement to Arbitrate" will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Agreement to Arbitrate" will survive any termination of the relationship between us. Arbitration Rules and Process The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at the website above.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. Unless you and we otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties. Arbitrator’s Decision The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. We will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration. Fees Your responsibility to pay any arbitration fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. If your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, we will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
