These Taskrabbit Delivery Platform Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service” or the “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the User (defined below) of the Platform (defined below) (“you” or “your”) and Taskrabbit Delivery Platform, LLC (together with its Affiliates (defined below), “Taskrabbit Delivery”, “we”, “us” or “our”) governing your use of Taskrabbit Delivery’s websites (including book-delivery.taskrabbit.com, lighthouse.taskrabbit.com, taskrabbit.com/delivery, helpers.taskrabbit.com, developer.taskrabbit.com, papi.taskrabbit.com, delivery-help.taskrabbit.com, delivery-login.taskrabbit.com, and d-mail.taskrabbit.com) (together, the “Sites”), Taskrabbit Delivery Customer and Helper/Hand mobile applications (together, the “Apps”), and related services, information and communications (collectively referred to herein as the “Platform” or the “Taskrabbit Delivery Platform”).
The use of all personal data you submit to the Platform or which we collect about you is governed by our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”).
SECTION 3 OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT DISPUTES AND CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST TASKRABBIT DELIVERY TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO RESOLUTION OF COVERED DISPUTES AND CLAIMS IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION.
BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND/OR ACCESSING AND USING THE PLATFORM AND/OR PERFORMING TASKS (DEFINED BELOW), YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY (WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION) THE AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT AND ABIDE BY ITS TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM OR PERFORM TASKS.
1. The Taskrabbit Delivery Platform
A. Online Marketplace.
The Platform is an online web- and app-based two-sided marketplace which enables connections between (i) Customers and (ii) Helpers and Hands. “Customer(s)” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Task(s)”). “Helpers(s)” and “Hand(s)” are independent business owners seeking to perform Tasks for Customers. Helpers provide the vehicle(s) that will be used to perform Tasks. Hands have a mode of transportation to arrive at the Task location, but do not provide the vehicle(s) that will be used to perform Tasks.
Helpers and Hands are independent business owners, providing services under their own name or business name (and not under Taskrabbit Delivery’s name), and using their own vehicles, tools and supplies. Helpers and Hands may (a) maintain a clientele without any restrictions from Taskrabbit Delivery; (b) offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms; (c) accept or reject Tasks and Service Agreements (defined below) for any reason in their sole discretion; and (d) appoint subcontractors (“Assistants”) to assist with performing Tasks in their sole discretion. Helpers and Hands are independent contractors of Customers, and Customers are therefore clients of Helpers and Hands, not Taskrabbit Delivery.
Customers, Helpers, Hands, and Assistants are referred to herein together as “User(s)”.
B. Taskrabbit Delivery’s Role.
The Platform is not an employment agency service or business, and Taskrabbit Delivery is not an employer of any User. Users are not employees, partners, representatives, agents, joint venturers, independent contractors or franchisees of Taskrabbit Delivery.
Users acknowledge and agree that (a) Taskrabbit Delivery does not (i) perform Tasks nor employ individuals to perform Tasks, (ii) supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor Helpers’ or Hands’ work (including that Taskrabbit Delivery does not set Helpers’ and Hands’ work locations, work hours, or terms of work), nor provide tools or supplies to Helpers or Hands, or (iii) have any control over the quality, timing, means used, environment, legality, failure to provide, manner of provision, or any other aspect whatsoever of Tasks or Users (or the acts or omissions thereof), nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, communications, or the ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to themselves or each other; and (b) the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create any responsibility or liability for Taskrabbit Delivery, nor any employment or other relationship between Taskrabbit Delivery and the Users or between the Customer and the Helper and/or Hand. Users do not have authority to, and may not act as an agent for, nor bind or make any representations on behalf of, Taskrabbit Delivery.
Taskrabbit Delivery is not and does not operate as a broker, carrier, freight forwarder, consolidator, agent, or other participant involved in or responsible in any manner for the physical transportation, delivery, brokerage, storage, or other carriage of property and disclaims having any duty or involvement in the performance of Tasks. Taskrabbit Delivery is not intended for use by any motor carriers, shippers, brokers, freight forwarders, or agents regulated or subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (“USDOT”) or its state agency equivalents or subject to the rules and regulations established under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or its state agency equivalents. Taskrabbit Delivery does not receive either, directly or indirectly, any freight or brokerage fees, commission, or other remuneration of any kind related to the provision of Tasks. Any and all fees and compensation received by Taskrabbit Delivery, either directly or indirectly, is attributable solely to Taskrabbit Delivery’s maintenance of the Platform and facilitating use and access thereto, not for the purposes of brokerage, payment processing, or otherwise.
Taskrabbit Delivery is neither responsible nor liable for workers’ compensation or any tax payment or withholding, including but not limited to applicable sales taxes, unemployment or employment insurance, disability insurance, employer’s liability, employer training tax, social security contributions, PAYE or other applicable payroll withholdings in connection with a User’s use of the Platform, or personal income tax. Helpers and Hands assume full and sole responsibility for all required and applicable income tax and social contributions, such as Social Security withholdings as to Helpers, Hands, and all persons engaged by them in the performance of Tasks. Each User assumes all liability for proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable laws.
C. Service Agreement.
Once a Task is scheduled via the Taskrabbit Delivery Platform the Customer and all Helpers and Hands who accept and agree to the Task form a legally binding contract between them (the “Service Agreement”). The terms of this Service Agreement include the details of the Task proposed by the Customer and accepted by the Helpers and Hands, and any other terms agreed to by and between the Customer and the Helpers and Hands in the chat thread for the Task. The Customer and the Helpers and Hands agree to comply with the Service Agreement and these Terms during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task. Helpers and Hands are responsible for exercising their own business judgment when entering into Service Agreements and performing Tasks, and acknowledge that they do so at their own risk and that there is a chance for individual profit or loss. Taskrabbit Delivery is not a party to any Service Agreement. The formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create any responsibility or liability for Taskrabbit Delivery.
D. Other Parties.
(i) Assistants. Helpers may engage their own subcontractors to complete Tasks. Any such Assistant must first agree to these Terms and complete a Background Check (defined below). Assistants, to the extent permitted under applicable law, agree to undergo such Background Checks and to accurately and completely submit all required information necessary to complete the Background Checks. Taskrabbit Delivery cannot, and does not, assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information, nor for any false or misleading statements made by Users. Any Background Checks, if performed, are conducted solely to help promote a safer user experience and do not guarantee the identity, conduct, suitability, or fitness of any Assistants. Assistants agree to furnish any other information Taskrabbit Delivery reasonably requests to comply with (or verify compliance with) applicable legal requirements. Helpers assume full and sole responsibility for the acts of their Assistants and are responsible for any and all compensation, damages, benefits, taxes, withholdings, and expenses for Assistants.
(ii) Customer Agents. Customers agree that if they have authorized someone other than themselves to book a Task on their behalf or to be present in their stead when the Task is performed, the Customer is appointing that person as their agent (“Customer Agent(s)”), and the Customer is deemed to have granted to the Customer Agent the authority to act as their agent in relation to the applicable Task. Customer Agents may direct or instruct the Helper and Hand’s performance of the Task, and the Helper and Hand may follow such direction as if the direction was given by the Customer. The Customer assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of Customer Agents.
2. Use of the Taskrabbit Delivery Platform
A. Customer, Helper and Hand User Account Registration.
You must register and create an account to access and use the Platform, providing only correct and accurate information. You agree to ensure that your Taskrabbit Delivery account information is accurate, and update your Taskrabbit Delivery account with any changes to your account information. If any such change relates to ownership of your telephone numbers, you may notify Taskrabbit Delivery by texting STOP to any text message sent to the retiring phone number. Failure to provide and maintain updated and accurate information may result in your inability to use the Platform and/or Taskrabbit Delivery’s termination of this Agreement with you. Taskrabbit Delivery may restrict anyone from completing registration if it determines that such person may threaten the safety and integrity of the Platform, or if such restriction is necessary to address any other reasonable business concern.
The following additional terms apply to Users registering an account as a Helper or Hand:
(i) Background Checks. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Helpers and Hands may be subject to a review process before they can register on, and during their use of, the Platform, which may include, but is not limited to, identity verification, motor vehicle record checks, and criminal background checks, using third party services as appropriate (“Background Check(s)”). Helpers and Hands, to the extent permitted under applicable law, agree to undergo such Background Checks and to accurately and completely submit all required information necessary to complete the Background Checks. Taskrabbit Delivery cannot, and does not, assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information, nor for any false or misleading statements made by Users. Any Background Checks, if performed, are conducted solely to help promote a safer user experience and do not guarantee the identity, conduct, suitability, or fitness of any Helper or Hand. Helpers and Hands agree to furnish any other information Taskrabbit Delivery reasonably requests to comply with (or verify compliance with) applicable legal requirements.
(ii) Insurance. Helpers and Hands agree to maintain any and all valid insurance appropriate for the Tasks they perform as required by applicable law. If providing or using a vehicle to perform Tasks, this includes but is not limited to automobile liability insurance covering vehicles used for the performance of Tasks that provides protection against bodily injury and property damage to third parties at coverage levels that satisfy the minimum requirements set by applicable law to operate a vehicle on public roads wherever these vehicles are in use. If providing or using a vehicle to perform Tasks, Helpers and Hands agree (i) to be listed as an insured or a driver on their automobile liability insurance; (ii) upon request, to provide Taskrabbit Delivery with the name of their insurance policy provider, a valid insurance policy number, and/or a copy of the insurance policy, policy declarations, proof of insurance identification card and/or proof of premium payment for their policy, as well as copies of the same upon renewal; and, (iii) to immediately notify Taskrabbit Delivery if their automobile liability insurance policy is canceled.
(iii) Vehicles and Licenses. Helpers and Hands providing a vehicle to perform Tasks acknowledge and agree that:
- they will hold and maintain (i) a valid driver’s license necessary for the operation of the vehicle they are using to perform Tasks as required by applicable law and (ii) any necessary licenses, permits, certificates, and/or approvals as required by applicable law;
- during the performance of Tasks, they will only use vehicles that they have added to their User account, and will not utilize a Commercial Motor Vehicle or engage in any activity that would necessitate them to obtain a state or federal commercial driver’s license or register as a motor carrier with the USDOT or other similar state agencies. A “Commercial Motor Vehicle” includes, but is not limited to, any vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Combination Vehicle Weight, whichever is greater, in excess of 10,001 pounds or more;
- they will not use the Taskrabbit Delivery Platform to engage in any activity which would necessitate classification or registration as a motor carrier or other regulated transportation provider subject to regulation by the USDOT and/or similar state or federal departments or agencies;
- they will maintain vehicles used to perform Tasks in good operating condition, at their sole expense, consistent with all applicable industry safety standards; and
- they will drive safely and obey all traffic laws when performing Tasks.

C. Additional Helper, Hand and Assistant Representations and Warranties.
If you are a Helper, Hand or an Assistant, you additionally represent and warrant that, in your access to and use of the Platform, you:
- are operating as a sole proprietor, partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, corporation or other business entity when using the Platform;
- are customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as the services you perform for Customers through the Platform, and maintain an independent clientele;

- will promptly disclose to Taskrabbit Delivery in writing if you have any potentially relevant criminal convictions (other than minor fixed penalty parking or speeding offenses) that arise during your use of the Platform.
D. Prohibited Tasks.
The Taskrabbit Delivery Platform is unavailable for, and Users may not request or perform, Tasks involving certain prohibited items or services that are listed in our Prohibited Tasks Policy (“Prohibited Tasks”). Users agree, as applicable, not to request or perform Prohibited Tasks through the Taskrabbit Delivery Platform.
E. Damage Protection
Although Taskrabbit Delivery is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, for certain Tasks involving the transportation of goods, Taskrabbit Delivery, in its sole discretion, provides limited damage protection to Users in order to help ensure that they have a positive and safe experience with the Taskrabbit Delivery Platform. For these Tasks, Taskrabbit Delivery offers either $300 (for most Tasks) or $1000 (for whole apartment move Tasks) in property damage protection for goods while they are being transported by Helpers or Hands, and may provide Users with the option of purchasing additional protection (“Damage Protection). The amount of available Damage Protection for each Task, if any, will be shown to the Customer as part of the booking flow.
This Damage Protection only applies to physical damage to, or loss of, tangible property belonging to a Customer due to the negligence of a Helper or Hand. It does not apply to damage to the surrounding environment such as floors, walls, ceilings, and so on. This Damage Protection also does not apply in circumstances where the Customer failed to properly package their property so as to prevent damage.
In order to make a claim for Damage Protection, a User must submit a claim to Taskrabbit Delivery customer service within 14 days of the Task giving rise to the claim. Taskrabbit Delivery reserves the right to reject any claims made outside of this timeframe. To be eligible for Damage Protection, the Task giving rise to the claim must have been booked and fully paid for through the Taskrabbit Delivery Platform; acts outside the scope of the Task do not qualify for Damage Protection. Tasks booked in violation of Taskrabbit Delivery’s Prohibited Task policy do not qualify for Damage Protection. The value of any given item for the purposes of this Damage Protection will be determined to be the lesser of (a) the actual cash value of the item considering its accumulated depreciation, or (b) the cost of replacement, as may be reasonably determined by Taskrabbit Delivery. The discretionary purchase of additional protection by a User shall not impact this value determination.
For the avoidance of doubt, Tasks booked through Taskrabbit Delivery are not eligible for Taskrabbit Inc.’s Happiness Pledge and/or TaskProtect.
F. Account Security.
You are fully and solely responsible for (a) maintaining the confidentiality of any log-in, password, and account number provided by or given to you to access the Platform; and (b) all activities that occur under your password or account, even if not authorized by you. Taskrabbit Delivery has no control over any User’s account. You agree to notify Taskrabbit Delivery immediately if you suspect any unauthorized party may be using your Platform password or account or any other breach of security.
G. License.
Subject to your compliance with the terms of the Agreement, Taskrabbit Delivery grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to (a) access and use the Platform (in the locations and territories where the Platform has a presence), (b) download, access and use Taskrabbit Delivery’s apps on your personal device, solely in furtherance of your use of the Platform, and (c) access and view any content, information, and materials made available on the Platform, in all cases for your personal use and the intended purpose of the Platform. Users may not copy, download, use, redesign, reconfigure, reverse engineer, or retransmit the Platform or anything therefrom or thereon (in whole or in part) without Taskrabbit Delivery’s prior written consent. Any rights not granted by Taskrabbit Delivery are expressly reserved.
3. Arbitration Agreement
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND TASKRABBIT DELIVERY CAN BRING CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND TASKRABBIT DELIVERY TO SUBMIT CLAIMS TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU ACCEPT ALL OF ITS TERMS.
A. Agreement to Binding Arbitration.
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BENEFITS OF THE SPEEDY, ECONOMICAL, AND IMPARTIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND TASKRABBIT DELIVERY MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES OR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and survives the termination of the Agreement and your relationship with Taskrabbit Delivery.
B. Covered Disputes.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Taskrabbit Delivery agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims (the “Claim(s)”) relating to, arising from or regarding your use of the Platform, your relationship with Taskrabbit Delivery, Tasks, or the Agreement (including previous versions), including Claims by Taskrabbit Delivery, Claims against Taskrabbit Delivery and Claims against Taskrabbit Delivery’s Affiliates (including its parent company).
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this includes, but is not limited to, claims related to payments, any city, county, state or federal wage and hour law, compensation, meal or rest breaks, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, trade secrets, unfair competition, personal injury, property damage or loss, emotional distress, any promotions or offers made by Taskrabbit Delivery, or the threatened or actual suspension or deactivation of your account; breach of any express or implied contract or breach of any express or implied covenant; claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws; claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights Act, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Taskrabbit Delivery and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or funded by insurance), and state or local statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters; and all other federal, state or local statutory and common law claims.
If there is a dispute about the arbitrability of any claim (including about the formation, scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement), you and Taskrabbit Delivery agree that this threshold dispute shall be resolved by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement brings claims against a party, those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement. If either party brings both arbitrable and non-arbitrable claims in the same action or related actions, both agree that the non-arbitrable claims shall be stayed until the conclusion of the arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
C. Class Action Waiver.
Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and Taskrabbit Delivery agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Taskrabbit Delivery (and/or, if applicable, its Affiliates) and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND TASKRABBIT DELIVERY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“Class Action Waiver”). Further, unless both you and Taskrabbit Delivery otherwise agree, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. An arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Class Action Waiver shall not apply to California Private Attorney General Act Claims, which are addressed separately below.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement, or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (i) the Claim is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (ii) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, then those Claims shall be severed from any remaining Claims and may remain in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or the Arbitration Agreement, this Class Action Waiver does not prevent you or Taskrabbit Delivery from participating in a mass settlement of claims.
D. Mass Action Waiver.
Any and all disputes, claims, or controversies between the parties shall be resolved only in individual arbitration. The parties expressly waive the right to have any dispute, claim, lawsuit, or controversy brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated as a Mass Action, and neither an arbitrator nor an arbitration provider shall have any authority to hear, arbitrate, or administer any Mass Action or to award relief to anyone but the individual in arbitration—except as provided below (“Mass Acton Waiver”). The parties also expressly waive the right to seek, recover, or obtain any non-individual relief. The parties agree that the definition of a “Mass Action” includes, but is not limited to, instances in which you or Taskrabbit Delivery are represented by a law firm or collection of law firms that has filed 25 or more arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature against the other party within 180 days of the arbitration demand filed on your or Taskrabbit Delivery’s behalf.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the applicable arbitration provider’s rules, the arbitrator shall be empowered to determine whether the party bringing any claim has filed a Mass Action in violation of this Mass Action Waiver. Either party shall raise with the arbitrator or arbitration provider such a dispute within 15 days of its arising. If such a dispute arises before an arbitrator has been appointed, the parties agree that (i) a mutually agreeable arbitrator shall be appointed to resolve only disputes concerning whether the party bringing any claim has filed a Mass Action in violation of this Mass Action Waiver (if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within 30 days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then a single arbitrator shall be chosen by the AAA); (ii) Taskrabbit Delivery shall pay any administrative fees or costs incidental to the appointment of the arbitrator under this provision, as well as any fees or costs that would not be incurred in a court proceeding, such as payment of the fees of the arbitrator; (iii) the arbitrator shall issue a written decision with findings of fact and conclusions of law; and (iv) any further arbitration proceedings or assessment of arbitration-related fees shall be stayed pending the arbitrators’ resolution of the parties’ dispute. If the arbitrator determines that any party has violated the Mass Action Waiver, the parties shall each have the opportunity to opt out of arbitration within 30 days of the arbitrator’s decision. You may opt out of arbitration by providing written notice of your intention to opt out to the arbitration provider and to Taskrabbit Delivery Platform LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 10800 Alpharetta HWY, STE 208-562 Roswell, GA 30076-1467. This written notice must be signed by you, and not any attorney, agent, or other representative of yours. Taskrabbit Delivery may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice of its intention to opt out to the arbitration provider and to you or your attorney, agent, or representative if you are represented. For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to opt out of arbitration described in this section only applies if the arbitrator determines that a party has violated the Mass Action Waiver.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or the Arbitration Agreement, this Mass Action Waiver does not prevent you or Taskrabbit Delivery from participating in a mass settlement of claims.
E. Representative PAGA Waiver.
To the fullest extent allowed by law: (1) you and Taskrabbit Delivery agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under PAGA, both you and Taskrabbit Delivery agree that any such Claim shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “Representative PAGA Waiver”).
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of this Representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this Representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the parties agree that court litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
F. Rules and Logistics of Arbitration.
In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the AAA Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and modified by the terms set forth in the Agreement, and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules. You and Taskrabbit Delivery agree that the arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within 30 days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA.
As part of the arbitration, the parties will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim(s). The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision, which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all Claims in accordance with applicable law and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. Claims will be governed by their applicable statute of limitations and failure to demand arbitration within the prescribed time period shall bar the Claims as provided by law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA rules and shall be up to the amount you would be required to pay if you filed a claim in court.
Unless you and Taskrabbit Delivery agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings with a Helper, Hand or Assistant will take place remotely or in the county of the Helper, Hand or Assistant’s billing address, and any arbitration hearings with a Customer will take place remotely or in the county in which the Customer received Task services. If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county and the parties wish to proceed with an in-person hearing, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a AAA arbitration.
G. Exceptions to Arbitration.
The Arbitration Agreement does not apply to arbitration of the following types of claims:
- Claims for workers’ compensation, disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits;
- Actions that are within the scope of small claims court jurisdiction and brought on an individual basis;
- Applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights;
- Representative action brought on behalf of others under PAGA or other private attorney general acts, to the extent the Representative PAGA Waiver is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law not preempted by the FAA; and
- Claims that have been expressly excluded from mandatory arbitration by the Federal Arbitration Act or a governing law not preempted by the FAA.
Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or a similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. The Agreement and Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from participating in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Agreement and do not prevent you from receiving an award for information provided to any government agencies.
H. Severability.
In addition to the other severability provisions of this Arbitration Agreement, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
I. Opt Out of Arbitration (Helpers, Hands and Assistants).
For Helpers, Hands and Assistants, you may opt out of the requirement to arbitrate if you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision in Taskrabbit Delivery’s Terms of Service where you had the opportunity to opt out of the requirement to arbitrate. If you have previously agreed to such an arbitration provision, you may opt out of any revisions to your prior requirement to arbitrate made by this version of the arbitration agreement in the manner specified below, but opting out of this requirement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration requirements that you may have with Taskrabbit Delivery.
Except as specified in this Arbitration Agreement, if you are a Helper, Hand, or an Assistant, you may opt out of the requirement to arbitrate by notifying Taskrabbit Delivery in writing within 30 days of your agreement to these Terms of Service. To opt out, you must send a signed written notification to:

J. Claims in Pending Class Action.
If you are a member of a putative class in a wage and hour class action lawsuit against Taskrabbit Delivery that is pending as of the effective date of these Terms of Service, then this Arbitration Agreement shall not apply to your claims in that particular class action. Instead, your claims in that action shall continue to be governed by the arbitration provisions contained in the applicable Agreement that you accepted prior to the Agreement’s effective date.
4. Fees, Billing, Invoicing, Payment, and Promotions; Cancellation Fees
A. Task Payment and Other Amounts Owed by the Customer.
In order to book a Task, you must provide a payment method and/or have an existing payment method linked to your account. You authorize us to process your Task payment via your existing payment method. If we are unable to charge your existing payment method, you authorize us to use any payment methods you have previously linked to your account. You acknowledge and agree that we may prevent you from booking future Tasks, if any amounts remain outstanding on your account. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all payments are non-refundable.
B. Amounts Owed by Helpers and Hands.
Helpers and Hands will be responsible for (1) paying registration fees, if applicable, and (2) repaying to Taskrabbit Delivery or the payment service provider any erroneous payments or other amounts received.
C. Payment Service Provider.
All amounts owed and/or to be paid by any User must be paid through the third-party payment service provider (“PSP”). Customers provide their payment method details to Taskrabbit Delivery and the PSP. Helpers and Hands set up an account with the PSP, which may require registration with the PSP, provision of their federal tax ID, consent to the terms of service of the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”), and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation. Taskrabbit Delivery is not a party to any PSP Services Agreement, and has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Helper, Hand or other party under any PSP Services Agreement.
D. Fraud.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Customer will not be held responsible for transactions that are identified by Taskrabbit Delivery as potential or confirmed fraud; provided that the Customer did not contribute to or cause (directly or indirectly, in any part) such fraud. In these instances, a transaction may be declined, frozen or held until investigation is complete.
E. Sales Tax Collection and Remittance.
Users of the Platform may be liable for taxes or similar charges, which are imposed on the Tasks performed and/or fees paid under the Agreement and must be collected and/or paid.
In certain jurisdictions, applicable rules may require that we collect and/or report tax and/or revenue information about you to applicable tax authorities. You agree that Taskrabbit Delivery may issue, on your behalf, receipts or similar documentation to facilitate accurate tax reporting, and use of your account may be paused until such documentation is provided.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however:
- Helpers and Hands remain fully responsible and liable for, and in charge of, compliance with all tax obligations applicable to them and the Tasks (including performance thereof), (including, without limitation, filing their tax returns and paying taxes ) relating to the Tasks performed by them for the benefit of their Customers. Helpers and Hands should consult with their own tax advisors to ensure compliance with applicable tax and reporting requirements.
- Taskrabbit Delivery is neither responsible nor liable for ensuring Users’ compliance with applicable tax obligations. Without limitation, Taskrabbit Delivery shall not be held responsible for any breach of a Helper or Hand’s tax obligations, including (without limitation) that Taskrabbit Delivery shall not be held jointly and severally liable for taxes, interest on overdue taxes, or for any penalties or fines that would be owed by the Helper or Hand. Taskrabbit Delivery may (i) request the Helper or Hand to confirm and/or demonstrate that they are up to date with their tax obligations (including social contributions, if applicable); and (ii) deactivate a Helper or Hand’s account or limit their use of or remove the Helper or Hand from the Platform upon (1) a determination from the applicable tax authorities that such Helper or Hand has failed to comply with tax obligations, or (2) if the Helper or Hand is unable or unwilling to confirm and/or demonstrate their compliance with their tax obligations, upon request.
F. Contests and Promotional Codes.
Taskrabbit Delivery may, from time to time, provide certain optional promotional codes, opportunities and contests to Users. All such optional promotional opportunities will be run at the sole discretion of Taskrabbit Delivery, will be subject to the terms and conditions governing the same, and can be implemented, modified, or removed at any time by Taskrabbit Delivery without advance notification. The liability of Taskrabbit Delivery and Affiliates relevant to such promotional opportunities and contests, shall be subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms.
G. Cancellation Fees.
Customers may cancel a Task at any time. However, the Customer may be billed a cancellation fee under certain circumstances. Please consult the Taskrabbit Delivery Cancellation Policy.

You hereby represent and warrant to Taskrabbit Delivery that (i) have the lawful authority to grant the rights in your User Generated Content as set out herein, and that such rights do not negatively impact any third-party rights; and (ii) your User Generated Content will not: (1) be false, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading; (2) be fraudulent or involve the transfer or sale of illegal, counterfeit or stolen items; (3) infringe on any third party’s privacy, or copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary or intellectual property right or rights of publicity or personality (to the extent recognized by law in the country where the Task is performed); (4) violate any law, statute, ordinance, code, or regulation (including without limitation those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, incitement of hatred or false or misleading advertising, anti-spam or privacy); (5) be defamatory, libelous, malicious, threatening, or harassing; (6) be obscene or contain pornography (including but not limited to child pornography) or be harmful to minors; (7) contain any viruses, scripts such as Trojan Horses, SQL injections, worms, time bombs, corrupt files, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; (8) claim or suggest in any way that you are employed or directly engaged by or affiliated with Taskrabbit Delivery or otherwise purport to act as a representative or agent of TaskrabbitDelivery ; or (9) create liability for Taskrabbit Delivery or cause Taskrabbit Delivery to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or other partners or suppliers.
You hereby waive (x) any “moral rights” associated with the User Generated Content (to the extent allowable by law); and (y) all claims relevant to the User Generated Content and Taskrabbit Delivery’s use thereof and of your Likeness. You release the Taskrabbit Delivery Parties (defined below) from, and shall hold such parties harmless from and against, any and all Liabilities (defined below), (including, without limitation, for defamation, malicious falsehood, invasion of right to privacy, data protection, publicity or personality or any similar matter), based upon or relating to Taskrabbit Delivery’s use and exploitation of such User Generated Content and your Likeness as permitted herein. THE RELEASES HEREUNDER ARE INTENDED TO APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS NOT NOW KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST, WITH THE INTENT OF WAIVING THE EFFECT OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542.
Taskrabbit Delivery is entitled to identify a User to other Users or to third parties who claim that their rights have been infringed by User Generated Content submitted by that User, so that they may attempt to resolve the claim directly. If you believe, in good faith, that any User Generated Content provided on or in connection with the Platform is objectionable or infringes any of its rights or the rights of others, you are encouraged to notify Taskrabbit Delivery. If a User discovers that User Generated Content promotes crimes against humanity, incites hatred and/or violence, or concerns child pornography, the User must notify Taskrabbit Delivery.

The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations under these terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
B. Limitation of Liability.

Taskrabbit Delivery reserves the right, for justifiable and proportionate reasons, at any time, to review, change, modify, update, add to, supplement, suspend, discontinue, or delete any term(s) or provision(s) of the Agreement (including the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy).
Notice of such amendments may be given by posting such updates or modifications (or notice thereof) on the Platform, on the online location of the relevant terms, policies or supplemental terms, by e-mail or in any other reasonable manner; and the amendments will be effective upon such posting. Your continued use of the Platform after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by the Agreement, as amended.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such modifications and/or updates are material, you will be informed in advance (in the manner set out in this section) for your acceptance or rejection. If any changes to the Agreement are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in compliance with the Agreement, the previous Terms will apply to your current Tasks, but you will not be able to use the Platform or contract new Tasks and you must deactivate your account, and immediately stop using the Platform. After notifying you of any material changes, your continued use of the Platform following any revision to the Agreement constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes, except where prohibited by any laws or regulations in your jurisdiction.
To the extent permitted by law, Taskrabbit Delivery shall not be liable to you for any modification to all or any portion of the Agreement.
B. Changes to the Platform.
Taskrabbit Delivery reserves the right to, at any time, review, improve, modify, update, upgrade, discontinue, impose limits, or restrict access to, whether temporarily or permanently, all or any portion of the Platform (including any content or information available on or through the Platform), effective with prior notice (where possible) and without any liability to Taskrabbit Delivery.

12. General Provisions
A. Governing Law.
Except for section 3 (Arbitration Agreement), the Agreement and your use of the Platform will be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of law principles. This provision is intended only to designate the governing laws to interpret the Agreement and is not intended to create any substantive right to non-residents of the designated country/province/state to assert claims under such law whether by statute, common law, or otherwise. Nothing shall prevent Taskrabbit Delivery from bringing proceedings to protect our intellectual property rights before any competent court.
B. Entire Agreement.
The Agreement (including any terms linked to in, and incorporated by reference into, these Terms) constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Taskrabbit Delivery with respect to your use of the Platform, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals or communications, except as otherwise specified in the Arbitration Agreement. The provisions of the Agreement are intended to be interpreted in a manner which makes them valid, legal, and enforceable.
C. Severability; Waiver.
Except for section 3 (Arbitration Agreement), which contains its own severability clause, in the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (1) such provision shall be modified or restructured to the extent and in the manner necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable, or (2) if such provision cannot be so modified or restructured, it shall be excised from the Agreement without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions. Failure by Taskrabbit Delivery to enforce any provision(s) of the Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
D. Assignment.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that we may assign or transfer the Agreement without your consent. In any case, this assignment will be notified to the User who, in the event legally foreseen, may terminate the Agreement and cease use of the Platform.

You may not assign or transfer the Agreement without our prior written approval. Any assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void. The Agreement will inure to the benefit of Taskrabbit Delivery, its successors and assigns. All parts of the Agreement which, by their nature, should survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to, and notwithstanding, the expiration or termination of the Agreement or your use of the Platform.
E. No Rights of Third Parties.
Except as expressly set out herein and/or is otherwise required by applicable laws, the Agreement is for the sole benefit of Taskrabbit Delivery and the User, and their permitted successors and assigns, and there are no other third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement. None of the terms of the Agreement are enforceable by any persons who are not a party to the Agreement; provided, however, that Taskrabbit Delivery may enforce any such provisions on behalf of its Affiliates.
F. Notices and Consent to Receive Notices Electronically.
Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications (collectively, “Notices”) under the Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; or the day it is shown as delivered by the overnight delivery service’s tracking information, if sent for next day delivery by a recognized overnight delivery service.
