Welcome to Homh! Homh LLC provides a marketplace platform (“
Homh”) to connect persons or entities wishing to search for, book, purchase and/or receive certain professional services (each a “
User”) with professional service providers (“
Professionals”) who list, schedule, offer, post, provide, fulfill or facilitate the provision of a variety of professional services, which may also include the sale of goods (“
Professional Services”). These Homh Terms of Use (the “
Homh Terms”) govern Users’ access to and use of the Homh platform made available through our website(s) that link to these Homh Terms, as well as any mobile applications and related technologies (“
Mobile Apps”), if any, that link to these Homh Terms. These Homh Terms also govern our services for facilitating the booking of Professional Services made available to you on or through Homh (the “
Homh Services”, and together with the Homh platform, the “
Services”).
These Homh Terms are a binding legal agreement between you (“
you” or “
your”) and Homh, LLC, 251 Little Falls Drive, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19808, and its affiliated entities (collectively, “
Homh LLC”, “
we”, “
us”, and “
our”). If you are registering for a User Account (defined below) or using Homh on behalf of an entity, organization, or company (“Corporate Entity”), you agree that you are entering into these Homh Terms on behalf of that Corporate Entity and you represent and warrant to Homh LLC that you have the authority to bind that Corporate Entity to these Homh Terms (and, in which case, the terms “you” and “your” will refer to that Corporate Entity). If you are not registering for an account or using the Services on behalf of a Corporate Entity or if you are registered for an account or using the Services as a user of a Corporate Entity, then the terms “you” and “your” will refer to you in your individual capacity.
Notwithstanding the above, once you select a Professional to perform Professional Services for you, your continued interactions with the Professional, including your receipt of the Professional Services, may be subject to additional terms and conditions, and privacy policies, of such Professional, for which Homh LLC assumes no responsibility. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you review and understand the Professional’s terms and policies.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THESE HOMH TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
By accessing, using, or interacting with the Services, you are indicating that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Homh Terms and our
Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to be bound by these Homh Terms or any provisions hereof, you shall not access or use the Services. Homh LLC’s direct competitors and direct competitors of its affiliates and subsidiaries (and third-party agents acting on behalf of such direct competitors) are prohibited from accessing or using the Services.
Except for the Section entitled “
Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” below, which provides for binding arbitration and waiver of class action rights, we reserve the right to revise these Homh Terms, at our sole discretion, at any time. It is your responsibility to check these Homh Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services after any such update constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes, except where applicable law requires additional notice regarding such updates, in which case we will comply with such additional notice requirements.
All references to “you” or “your”, as applicable, mean the User who accesses, uses, and/or participates in the Services in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns and successors.

You further agree to promptly report to Homh LLC any problems or defects encountered in the Homh Beta. Any use, reproduction, public display, sale or redistribution of the Homh Beta not in accordance with the Beta Test Terms is strictly and expressly prohibited.
Confidentiality. All elements of the Homh Beta, how the Homh Beta interacts with Homh’s Services, and any functions of the Homh Beta not available to the public at large are confidential. You agree to maintain the secrecy associated with the Beta Test and non-public aspects of Homh LLC’s Services during the Beta Test, and after the expiration of the Beta Test. In the event of a breach of these Beta Test Terms, Homh LLC reserves the right to any and all actions available to it under the law to protect its rights hereunder.
No Obligation. Homh LLC is under no obligation to develop, maintain or market the Homh Beta or to release production or general availability versions. Future versions of the Homh Beta, if any, may not be compatible with the current evaluation release of the Homh Beta.
Damages. In no event shall Homh LLC have any liability to you under these Beta Test Terms for any damages, including but not limited to direct, indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages, or damages based on lost profits, data or use, however caused and, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, whether or not you have been advised of the possibility of such damages unless such disclaimer of liability is not enforceable under applicable law in which case Homh LLC’s liability with respect to these Beta Test Terms shall not exceed $500.00.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure. If a Dispute (as that term is defined below) arises between you and Homh LLC, we are committed to working with you to try to reach a reasonable resolution. For any such Dispute, both parties acknowledge and agree that they will first make a good faith effort to resolve it informally before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding in arbitration or otherwise. Such informal resolution requires first sending a written description of the dispute to the other party. For any Dispute you initiate, you agree to send the written description of the Dispute along with the email address associated with your User Account, if applicable, to the following email address:
legalnotice@homh.com. The written description must be on an individual basis and provide, at minimum, the following information: your name; a detailed description of the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; the specific relief sought; why you believe you are entitled to such relief; and proof of your relationship with Homh LLC.
You and Homh LLC agree, following receipt of the written description, to negotiate in good faith about the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the properly submitted written description of the Dispute, you and Homh LLC agree to the further Dispute resolution provisions below.
The aforementioned informal dispute resolution process, including your good faith personal participation, is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fees or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.
Mutual Arbitration Agreement. If the informal dispute resolution procedure does not lead to resolution, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Disputes, (except as expressly provided herein) subject to the terms set forth below and the National Arbitration and Mediation (“
NAM”) rules. If you are initiating arbitration, a copy of the demand shall also be emailed to
legalnotice@homh.com. If you are a Homh LLC registered user, any demand initiating arbitration, whether filed by you or Homh LLC, must include the email address you used to register with Homh LLC.
You agree that by using the Services in any way, you unconditionally consent and agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against the Homh LLC Entities arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with Homh LLC’s Services or these Homh Terms, including the determination of the scope, enforceability, or applicability of this Arbitration Agreement (as defined below), including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part thereof of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment) (“
Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section (“
Arbitration Agreement”).
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE ARBITRATOR, AND NOT ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL COURT OR AGENCY, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY, OR FORMATION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO THE ARBITRATOR IS INTENDED TO BE COMPREHENSIVE AND APPLIES EVEN IF A PORTION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS OTHERWISE FOUND UNENFORCEABLE.
This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly, and it applies to claims that arose, were asserted, or involve facts occurring before the existence of this Arbitration Agreement or any prior agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Arbitration Agreement, in accordance with the subsection entitled
“30-Day Right to Opt Out” and the sub-section entitled
“Changes” set forth herein.
If you accept this Arbitration Agreement, then any previous arbitration agreement you had with Homh LLC is superseded and any Disputes, regardless of when they arose, will be subject to the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“
FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, each party retains the right to (i) elect to have any claims resolved in small claims court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction, regardless of what forum the filing party initially chose; (ii) bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” in this context means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information, but not privacy or publicity rights) or for defamation; and (iii) seek a declaratory judgment, injunction, or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a complaining party has satisfied the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure described in the sub-section entitled
“Information Dispute Resolution Procedure” above (including whether the written description contained all required information), a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, and any filed arbitrations related to any action filed pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically be stayed pending the outcome of such action
Class Arbitration and Collective Relief Waiver. YOU AND HOMH LLC ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EXCEPT AS SET OUT OTHERWISE IN THE SUBSECTION ENTITLED
“BATCH ARBITRATION” BELOW, ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM, UNLESS HOMH LLC PROVIDES ITS CONSENT TO CONSOLIDATE IN WRITING.
Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by NAM and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules of NAM, including, as applicable, NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, Fees For Disputes When One of the Parties is a Consumer, and the Mass Filing Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is filed with NAM, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions. The applicable NAM rules and procedures are available at www.namadr.com or by emailing National Arbitration and Mediation’s Commercial Dept at commercial@namadr.com.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. For all U.S. residents, the arbitration shall be held (i) at a location determined under the applicable NAM rules and procedures that is reasonably convenient for you and is no more than 100 miles from your home or place of business; or (ii) at another location you and we agree upon. For non-U.S. residents, the arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles, California (unless otherwise agreed by the parties).
The arbitrator shall apply Delaware law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator or arbitration body shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with the NAM rules and procedures for any frivolous claims or submissions the arbitrator determines have not been filed in good faith, as well as for a party’s failure to comply with the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure contemplated by this Arbitration Agreement.
If the amount in controversy does not exceed $10,000 and you do not seek injunctive or declaratory relief, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Homh LLC submit to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary or the parties agree otherwise. If the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000 or seeks declaratory or injunctive relief, either party may request (or the arbitrator may determine) to hold a hearing, which shall be via videoconference or telephone conference unless the parties agree otherwise.
Subject to the applicable NAM rules and procedures, the parties agree that the arbitrator will have the discretion to allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, all arbitration proceedings will be confidential and closed to the public and any parties other than you and Homh LLC (and each of the parties’ authorized representatives and agents), and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award (provided that the party seeking confirmation shall seek to file such records under seal to the extent permitted by law).
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands (those asserting the same or substantially similar facts or claims, and seeking the same or substantially similar relief) presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm(s) or organization(s) are submitted to NAM against Homh LLC (“
Mass Filing”), the parties agree (i) to administer the Mass Filing in batches of 100 demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands) with the allowance that multiple batches may be filed, processed, and adjudicated simultaneously, with reasonable administrative staging if necessary for efficient management of such proceedings (ii) to designate one arbitrator for each batch; (iii) to accept applicable fees, including any related fee reduction determined by NAM in its discretion; (iv) that no other demands for arbitration that are part of the Mass Filing may be filed, processed, or adjudicated until the prior batch of 100 is filed, processed, and adjudicated; (v) that fees associated with a demand for arbitration included in a Mass Filing, including fees owed by Homh LLC and the claimants, shall only be due after your demand for arbitration is included in a set of batch proceedings and that batch is properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication; and (vi) that the staged process of batched proceedings, with each set including 100 demands, shall continue until each demand (including your demand) is adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Arbitrator selection for each batch shall be conducted to the greatest extent possible in accordance with the applicable NAM rules and procedures for such selection, and the arbitrator will determine the location where the proceedings will be conducted. You agree to cooperate in good faith with Homh LLC and the arbitration provider to implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of combined reduced fees, set by NAM in its discretion, for each batch of claims. The parties further agree to cooperate with each other and the arbitration provider or arbitrator to establish any other processes or procedures that the arbitration provider or arbitrator believe will provide for an efficient resolution of claims. Any disagreement between the parties as to whether this provision applies or as to the process or procedure for batching shall be resolved by a procedural arbitrator appointed by NAM. This “Batch Arbitration” provision shall in no way be interpreted as increasing the number of claims necessary to trigger the applicability of NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures or authorizing class arbitration of any kind. Unless Homh LLC otherwise consents in writing, Homh LLC does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as set forth in this sub-section entitled “
Batch Arbitration”. If your demand for arbitration is included in the Mass Filing, your claims will remain tolled until your demand for arbitration is decided, withdrawn, or is settled.
The parties agree that this Batch Arbitration provision is integral to the Arbitration Agreement insofar as it applies to a Mass Filing. If the Batch Arbitration provision in this sub-section entitled
“Batch Arbitration” is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and neither you nor Homh LLC shall be entitled to arbitrate any claim that is a part of the Mass Filing.
Mediation Following First Batch in a Mass Filing. The results of the first batch of demands will be given to a NAM mediator selected from an initially proposed group of 5 mediators, with Homh LLC and the remaining claimants’ counsel being able to strike one mediator each and then rank the remaining mediators and the highest collectively ranked mediator being selected. The selected mediator will try to facilitate a resolution of the remaining demands in the Mass Filing. After the results are provided to the mediator, Homh LLC, the mediator and the remaining claimants will have 90 days (the “
Mediation Period”) to agree on a resolution or substantive methodology for resolving the outstanding demands. If they are unable to resolve the outstanding demands during the Mediation Period, and cannot agree on a methodology for resolving them through further arbitrations, either Homh LLC or any remaining claimant may opt out of the arbitration process and have the demand(s) proceed in court. Notice of the opt-out will be provided in writing within 60 days of the close of the Mediation Period. If neither Homh LLC nor the remaining claimants opt out and they cannot agree to a methodology for resolving the remaining demands through further arbitration, the arbitrations will continue with the batching process. Opt out of arbitration under this sub-section shall not be construed as opt out of the sub-section entitled
“Class Action Waiver” below. Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations will proceed in the order determined by the sequential numbers assigned to demands in the Mass Filing.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these Homh Terms and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the applicable user may have entered into in connection with the Services. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the applicable NAM rules and procedures. 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 will have the authority to award monetary damages on an individual basis and to grant, on an individual basis, any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual to the extent available under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. The parties agree that the damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section of these Homh Terms as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable.
No individual arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute, except to preclude the same or similar claims from being re-arbitrated between the same parties. Attorneys’ fees will be available to the prevailing party in the arbitration if authorized under applicable substantive law governing the claims in the arbitration.
Fees. If you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Homh LLC will pay any filing and hearing fees in in excess of $250 that the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith, in which case arbitration fees (including attorneys’ fees) may be imposed upon you consistent with the Arbitrator’s Rules and the standard for sanctions set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise, including as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement.
The parties agree that NAM has discretion to reduce the amount or modify the timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under NAM’s Rules where it deems appropriate (including as specified in the sub-section entitled “
Batch Arbitration” provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you further agree that you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by NAM does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Arbitration Agreement while such challenge remains pending before NAM, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction, and that any and all due dates for those fees shall be tolled during the pendency of such challenge.
Thirty (30)-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to
legalnotice@homh.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT”. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of June 12, 2025 or your first use of Homh, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, Homh LLC also will not be bound by it. If you opt-out of a new clause, the prior clause will continue to govern any disputes between you and Homh LLC, unless you had opted out of that clause as well. You agree that, if at some point in the future Homh LLC removes this Arbitration Agreement, restoring the right to proceed in court, no opt out from that change is required. Homh LLC will continue to honor any valid opt outs if you opted out of arbitration in a prior version of these Homh Terms pursuant to the requirements set forth in that version. If you do not timely opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, such action shall constitute mutual acceptance of the terms of these “Dispute Resolution” provisions by you and Homh LLC.
Changes. Homh LLC will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any material changes to this “
Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” Section. Any such changes will go into effect 30 days after Homh LLC provides this notice and apply to all claims not yet filed regardless of when such claims may have accrued. If Homh LLC changes this “
Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” Section after the date you first accepted this Arbitration Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Arbitration Agreement), you agree that your continued use of Homh 30 days after such change will be deemed acceptance of those changes.
Severability. If any part of this this “
Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” Section is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the court will reform the agreement to the extent necessary to cure the unenforceable part(s), and the parties will arbitrate their Dispute(s) without reference to or reliance upon the unenforceable part(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason the sub-section entitled
“Class Action Waiver” set forth below or in the sub-section entitled
“Batch Arbitration” cannot be enforced as to some or all of the Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that Dispute or portion thereof. Any Disputes covered by any deemed unenforceable Class Action Waiver provision may only be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate will be binding and enforceable.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND HOMH LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED IN THE "BATCH ARBITRATION" SUBSECTION, NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE ANY PERSON'S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. Except as described in sub-section entitled
“Batch Arbitration”, class actions, class arbitrations, collective actions, private attorney general actions and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.
GOVERNING LAW
For any dispute not subject to arbitration or under the jurisdiction of a small claims court, you and Homh LLC agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of any venue in the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles, California. You further agree to accept service of process by mail and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
The Homh Terms and the relationship between you and Homh LLC shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law provisions.
The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
MISCELLANEOUS
Entire Agreement. These Homh Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Homh LLC, and supersede any prior and contemporaneous agreements between you and Homh LLC on the subject matter.
Force Majeure. Under no circumstances will Homh LLC be liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from any event beyond its reasonable control.
No Waiver. No waiver of any term of these Homh Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Homh LLC’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Homh Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Severability. Each of the provisions of these Homh Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. In the event that any provision is deemed unlawful or unenforceable, you and Homh LLC agree that such provision shall be modified or amended by the court or relevant authority to the extent necessary to render it enforceable, in accordance with the intent of the original provision. The modified provision shall be interpreted so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, while remaining compliant with applicable law.
Third-party beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Homh Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Homh Terms.
No agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these Homh Terms, and you shall have no right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations on behalf of Homh LLC, or to bind Homh LLC in any respect.
