» Our Matching Service

How It Works. One of the functions of our System is to match service and information requests made by Consumers to Members who may be able to meet the needs of the Consumer. Sometimes VentureStreet matches requests to Members in the VentureStreet system and other times it passes the information to third parties (affiliated networks) who match the requests. To provide Consumers options, these requests are often matched to multiple parties.

VentureStreet is not involved in transactions, contracts, or agreements between Consumers, Members, and third party sources. Consequently, VentureStreet cannot ensure that a transaction between parties will occur. Further, if a transaction does occur, VentureStreet has no control over the quality, safety or legality of items, advice, or services sold or rendered between the parties.

For Members who receive requests from interested Consumers, VentureStreet does not guarantee sales or results. A Member may receive any number of requests, clicks, or calls, a day, or may receive zero requests. VentureStreet functions only as an intermediary that provides Consumers and Members with access to the other within an environment that makes it easier for Consumers to engage Members and vice versa.

You agree to assume all responsibility and liability for your use of the System and any transactions or communications you initiate with either a Consumer or a Member...including, but not limited to, claims that may result there from. Moreover, you acknowledge and agree that the System features materials, products, and services provided by third parties and persons. VentureStreet makes no representations with respect to, nor does it guarantee or endorse, the quality, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, or correct sequencing of such third party materials, products, and services or any other materials, products, and services which such third party materials, products and services may access. VentureStreet expressly disclaims responsibility and liability for all third party provided materials, products, and services accessed through the System.

Members & Consumers Not Screened. VentureStreet does not pre-screen Members or Consumers. We encourage Consumers and Members to use due diligence when hiring or working with any professional located through our System. If the System indicates to a Consumer that a match will be pre-screened, that is an indication that the Consumer is being matched to a third-party (one of our Affiliate Network Partners) that has a pre-screening process. In such a case, the third-party is responsible for the definition of pre-screened.

Information Provided to VentureStreet. When using the System, you will be prompted to disclose certain information about yourself and your service requirements. Some of this information will be sent to Members or an Affiliate Network Partner who will need this information to respond to you or to other persons or entities in connection with our business.

By providing this information to us, or by submitting a service request, you are requesting, and you expressly consent to being contacted by us, our Members, and our Affiliated Partner Networks via phone, fax, email, mail or other reasonable means, at any of your contact numbers or addresses, even if you are listed on any federal, state, provincial or other applicable "Do Not Call" list, in order that we may provide the services set forth on our site, to service your account, to reasonably address matters pertaining to your request or for other purposes reasonably related to your service request and our business, including marketing related emails.

You agree that all information you provide will be accurate, current and truthful to the best of your knowledge. If you provide any information that is untrue, not current or incomplete, or VentureStreet has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, VentureStreet has the right to refuse any current or future use of the System (or any portion thereof) by you. VentureStreet also reserves the right to remove the request from circulation in our System.
