Plain-English summary
Poplin's terms include mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver, meaning you resolve disputes individually outside of court.

The service records all calls for quality, safety, and dispute resolution, and shares your payment information with Stripe. While you can opt out of promotional communications and calls, be aware that Laundry Pros are not responsible for theft or loss after delivery, and Poplin has sole discretion to reject refund claims for damaged items, even with documentation.
