2. The Services
WisePal provides a platform that assists users to reduce their monthly bills ("Platform") by accessing (via machine learning means) relevant users' emails, in order to extract monthly bills and locate information related to their monthly bills, and generating apples-to-apples comparison (the “Comparison”) with other products or services in the market ("Services"). Based, among other things, on such Comparison, WisePal then connects users with certain agencies (“Partners”), such as Burczak, Inc. d/b/a The Region Insurance Agency (“Burczak”). Burczak is acting as the agent of certain insurance companies in selling insurance, in which it receives compensation based on the premiums for the insurance policies it sells. Burczak and other Partners will present the user with various quotes from third parties that provide the products or services in connection with which the user uses the Platform and Website ("Providers"), in order to help the user to find a better rate for the same type of product or service. The Platform enables its users to analyze their expenses in light of the insightful information provided to them via the Platform and the Partners. The Website is designed to provide essential information on the Platform and Services to current and potential users and to enable users to contact WisePal or its Partners regarding the Services.
