8. Porch Partner Program Disclaimer

a. What the Porch Partner Feature Is

The Porch Partner feature allows a Porchivo resident ("Requesting Resident") to designate a fellow neighbor who is also a Porchivo user ("Porch Partner") to temporarily receive and hold a package on their behalf until the Requesting Resident is available to retrieve it. This feature exists to help residents reduce the risk of package theft, commonly known as porch piracy.

b. Porchivo's Role Is Limited to the Platform

Porchivo provides the technology that connects Requesting Residents with their chosen Porch Partners. Porchivo is not a party to the arrangement between a Requesting Resident and their Porch Partner. Porchivo does not:

  • •Select, screen, background check, verify, or vet any Porch Partner
  • •Supervise, monitor, or control the actions of any Porch Partner
  • •Inspect, handle, store, or take custody of any package at any time
  • •Guarantee that a Porch Partner will be available, reliable, or responsible
  • •Insure or reimburse any user for lost, damaged, opened, stolen, or mishandled packages

c. The Porch Partner Relationship Is Between Neighbors

The arrangement between a Requesting Resident and a Porch Partner is a voluntary, neighbor-to-neighbor agreement. By using the Porch Partner feature, both the Requesting Resident and the Porch Partner agree that:

  • •Porchivo bears no responsibility for what happens to a package once it is in the possession of, or on the property of, a Porch Partner.
  • •The Porch Partner is not an employee, agent, or contractor of Porchivo in any capacity. Porch Partners act entirely on their own and on behalf of their neighbor — not on behalf of Porchivo.
  • •Any dispute over a package — including loss, damage, theft, delay in return, or any other issue — is solely between the Requesting Resident and the Porch Partner, and must be resolved between those parties directly.
  • •Porchivo is not liable for any loss, damage, or harm arising from the Porch Partner arrangement, including property damage, personal injury, theft, or any other claim.

d. Requesting Residents Acknowledge

By requesting a Porch Partner through Porchivo, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • •You are choosing your Porch Partner voluntarily and at your own risk
  • •You are responsible for communicating clearly with your Porch Partner about pickup timing and instructions
  • •Porchivo has not vetted or approved your Porch Partner's suitability to hold your package
  • •If your package is lost, damaged, or not returned, your recourse is with your Porch Partner and/or your carrier or supplier — not with Porchivo
  • •Porchivo is not responsible for and will not reimburse the value of any package

e. Porch Partners Acknowledge

By agreeing to serve as a Porch Partner through Porchivo, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • •You are voluntarily accepting temporary responsibility for another resident's package
  • •You will handle the package with reasonable care and return it to the Requesting Resident promptly
  • •You will not open, use, damage, or fail to return any package entrusted to you
  • •Any failure to return or any damage to a package may expose you to civil liability with the Requesting Resident
  • •Porchivo is not responsible for any dispute that arises from your role as a Porch Partner

f. Boards and Property Managers Acknowledge

HOA boards and property managers who enable the Porch Partner feature for their community acknowledge that:

  • •Porchivo provides the Porch Partner feature as a platform tool only
  • •Enabling this feature does not make the HOA, association, or property management company liable for package arrangements between residents
  • •Porchivo is not responsible for any community-level disputes that arise from Porch Partner use

9. No Vetting, Background Checks, or Endorsement

PORCHIVO DOES NOT VET, SCREEN, BACKGROUND-CHECK, IDENTITY-VERIFY, OR OTHERWISE INVESTIGATE ANY USER, HOMEOWNER, PORCH PARTNER, NEIGHBOR, OR THIRD PARTY.

Porchivo is a neutral coordination and information platform that connects neighbors. We do not employ, supervise, direct, or control any user, and no user is our agent, employee, partner, or representative. Specifically, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • •We do not conduct criminal, identity, credit, reference, or other background checks on any user, and any optional verification badge a user may obtain does not constitute a guarantee, endorsement, or warranty by us as to that person's identity, trustworthiness, character, or fitness.
  • •We make no representation or warranty regarding the conduct, reliability, honesty, or suitability of any Homeowner, Porch Partner, or other user.
  • •You are solely responsible for deciding whether to interact with, share information with, hand packages to, or allow access to any other user, and for taking your own precautions.
  • •Listing, matching, or appearing in the App is not an endorsement or recommendation of any user by WhichWay Web Labs LLC.

10. Assumption of Risk; Personal Injury and Bodily Harm

YOU USE PORCHIVO AND PARTICIPATE IN ANY NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR ARRANGEMENT ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. WHICHWAY WEB LABS LLC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY BODILY INJURY, PERSONAL INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, ILLNESS, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP OR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.

Porchivo facilitates in-person, real-world interactions between neighbors, including package hand-offs, meetups, and entering or approaching another person's property. By using the App, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with those interactions, including but not limited to:

  • •Physical injury, assault, harassment, theft, or property damage caused by another user or third party.
  • •Slips, falls, accidents, animal encounters, or other hazards on any property you visit or where a hand-off occurs.
  • •Any dispute, altercation, or harm that arises before, during, or after a Porch Partner arrangement or any other coordinated activity.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release and discharge WhichWay Web Labs LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, damages, and liabilities of every kind — whether for bodily injury, personal injury, death, or property loss or damage — arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the App or your interactions with other users. You are encouraged to meet in safe locations, take reasonable safety precautions, and contact local law enforcement (call 911) in any emergency.

11. Instant Alerts Disclaimer

The Instant Alerts feature allows users to share neighbor-to-neighbor tips about suspicious activity on their block. Instant Alerts are not police reports, emergency services, or official crime reports. By using this feature, you understand that:

  • •You should contact local law enforcement (call 911) for any emergency or crime in progress.
  • •WhichWay Web Labs LLC does not verify the accuracy of user-submitted alerts.
  • •You are solely responsible for the content and accuracy of any alert you submit.
  • •Submitting knowingly false reports may result in account termination and may violate applicable laws.

Porchivo is a community management platform. We are not a shipping carrier, delivery service, retailer, or product supplier. Porchivo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any carrier or supplier, including but not limited to UPS, FedEx, USPS, Amazon, DHL, OnTrac, or any other delivery or retail company.

Any package delivery information entered into or tracked through Porchivo — including expected deliveries, delivery notifications, or delivery status updates — is provided by the user for personal organizational purposes only. Porchivo does not verify, guarantee, or take responsibility for:

  • •The accuracy of any delivery information entered by users
  • •The timing, condition, or completion of any delivery
  • •Any item lost, stolen, damaged, delayed, or misdelivered by a carrier or supplier
  • •Any dispute between a user and a carrier or supplier regarding an order or delivery

Legal Notice: This disclaimer was drafted to reflect Porchivo's known platform structure and features as of the effective date. Given that the Porch Partner feature involves one user taking physical custody of another user's property, it is strongly recommended that a licensed attorney review these Terms before the Porch Partner feature is made publicly available. Liability exposure in user-to-user physical property arrangements can vary significantly by state.
