1. The Affixer Platform Connects Taskers and Clients

The Affixer Platform is a web-based communications platform which enables connections between Clients and Taskers. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain task services (“Tasks”) from Taskers, and are therefore clients of Taskers, and “Taskers” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform Tasks for Clients. Clients and Taskers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.” If you agree on the terms of a Task with another User, you and such other User form a Service Agreement directly between the two of you as set forth in more detail in Section 3 below.

Taskers are independent contractors and not employees, partners, agents, joint ventures, or franchisees of Company. Company does not perform Tasks and does not employ individuals to perform Tasks. Users hereby acknowledge that Company does not supervise, direct, control or monitor a Tasker’s work. Affixer is not responsible for the work and therefore has no responsibility or liability for the work performed on the Tasks in any manner, including but not limited to a warranty or condition or good and workmanlike services, warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, or compliance with any law, regulation, or code.

The Affixer Platform only enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Tasks. Affixer is not responsible for the performance or communications of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Tasks, Taskers, Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings provided by Users with respect to each other. Company makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Tasks requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the Affixer Platform, whether in public, private, or offline interactions or otherwise howsoever.

2. User Vetting and User Representations and Warranties

User Vetting

In accordance with Affixer’s policy, Users may be subject to an extensive vetting process before they can register for and during their use of the Affixer Platform, including but not limited to a verification of identity, right to work checks and criminal background checks, using third party services as appropriate (“Identity Checks”). Affixer will conduct Identity Checks as appropriate, in accordance with Company policy and applicable laws.

Although Affixer may perform Identity Checks, Company is not required to do so and cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Affixer uses third party services to perform checks and therefore Affixer cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of Identity Check information or any information provided through the Affixer Platform.

When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety, data, and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. Affixer will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Affixer Platform. Neither Affixer not its parents, affiliates, or licensors, including their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, investors, subsidiaries, attorneys, representatives, insurers, employees, successors and assigns (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Affixer and Affiliates”), is responsible for the conduct, acts, or omissions, whether online or offline, of any User of the Affixer Platform and you hereby release Affixer and Affiliates from any and all liability, claims, demands, or damages or every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such use of the Affixer Platform.

User Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that: (1) you are 18 years of age or older and are at least of the legally required age in the jurisdiction in which you reside, and are otherwise capable of entering into binding contracts, and (2) you have the unrestricted right to work in the jurisdiction in which you reside and accept each applicable Task without additional immigration approvals, and (3) you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that you will so abide. Where you enter into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity and to bind that entity to this Agreement.

You further represent and warrant that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and the Happiness Pledge in order to access and use the Affixer Platform. You hereby warrant and represent that you will respect the privacy (including without limitation private, family and home life), property and data protection rights of Users and that you will not record (whether video or audio or otherwise) any Task or any interaction by or with any User and/or Company in connection with the Affixer Platform without the prior written consent of Company and/or the relevant User, as applicable. You further represent and warrant that you will fulfill the commitments you make to other Users, including paying/receiving payment through the Affixer Platform, performing the Task(s) agreed upon as between the Tasker and Client, communicating clearly and promptly through the chat thread and/or responding to invitations promptly, being present and/or available at the time you agree upon with your Tasker or Client as the case may be, and only utilizing the third party payment processing system specified or approved by us to make or receive payment for services provided through the Affixer Platform. You also represent and warrant that you will act professionally and responsibly in your interactions with other Users. You further represent and warrant that when using or accessing the Affixer Platform, you will act in accordance with any applicable national or international law, custom and in good faith.

You hereby warrant and represent that, other than as fully and promptly disclosed to Company as set forth below, you do not have any motivation, status, or interest which Company may reasonably wish to know about in connection with the Affixer Platform, including without limitation, if you are using or will or intent to use the Affixer Platform for any journalistic, investigative, or unlawful purpose; or if you have any potentially relevant unspent criminal convictions or cautions (other than minor fixed penalty parking or speeding offenses). You hereby warrant and represent that you will promptly disclose to Company in writing any such motivation, status or interest, whether existing prior to registration or as arises during your use of the Affixer Platform.

Taskers additionally represent and warrant that you will provide timely, high-quality services to your Clients, you will only offer and provide services for which you have the necessary skills and expertise, and you will provide the services safely.

3. Contract between Clients and Taskers

You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you agree on the terms of a Task with another User. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Affixer Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the Tasker and their Client to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, including this Section 3, and do not expand Affixer’s obligations or restrict Affixer’s rights under this Agreement. You agree that Affixer is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Affixer and the Tasker (or anyone else supplied by the Tasker), nor will it create an employment relationship between the Client and the Tasker or any such person. Company’s role is restricted solely to acting as a limited payment collection agent for the Tasker to facilitate payment on behalf of the Tasker through the Affixer Platform in respect of Tasks they perform. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for particular Tasks on the Affixer Platform, Affixer disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Tasker, and assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Tasker, either within or outside of the Affixer Platform.

Where approved in advance by the Client, the Tasker is not obligated to personally perform the Services. Before any Task services are performed by any assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel engaged by the Tasker (collectively “Assistants”), the Tasker shall require any such individuals to become fully registered, oriented and verified Taskers on the Affixer Platform. A Tasker’s failure to comply with this provision by bringing an Assistant who is not a registered Tasker could lead to removal from the Affixer Platform. The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Assistants, including without limitation the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable income tax and National Insurance Contributions withholdings as to the Tasker and all persons engaged by the Tasker in the performance of the Task services.

While using the Affixer Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed and/or completed. Clients who elect not to be present when a Task is performed and/or completed agree that if someone other than them (i.e. spouse, roommate, friend, etcetera) is present when the Task is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent ("Client's Agent") and the Tasker may take and follow direction from the Client's Agent as if such direction was given from the Client him or herself. The Client's Agent may authorize any applicable waiver by signing in the Client's stead. Client agrees that such direction and/or waiver is valid and enforceable against Client and Client's Agent, and Client shall be responsible and liable for all such direction and/or waiver as if made by Client him or herself.

The Client shall pay their Tasker directly for completed Task services through the PSP (as defined below) as indicated on the Affixer Platform at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each party agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task. Both parties agree to notify Affixer of any disputes prior to negotiation of or filing of any claims, and to negotiate any dispute informally via Affixer representatives for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any proceeding. Affixer reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account or Task pending the resolution of any dispute.

4. Billing and Payment Policy

Users of the Affixer Platform contract for Tasks directly with other Users. Affixer will not be a party to any contracts for Tasks or services. Payment for Task services through the Affixer Platform is made directly from the Client to the Tasker via the PSP (see further details below), and not by Affixer. Affixer is not obligated to pay Tasker for Client’s failure to pay for services.

Users of the Affixer Platform will be required to provide their credit card and/or bank account details to Affixer and the Payment Service Provider retained by Affixer (the “PSP”). Taskers are responsible for invoicing their Clients within 24 hours of the work being performed, even if the Task is not completed in its entirety or is designed as “ongoing”. Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Task (the “Invoice”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the Task agreed with and provided by a Tasker (“Task Payment”), (ii) any out of pocket expenses agreed with and submitted by a Tasker in connection with the Task, (iii) any tip or gratuity, if applicable, (iv) the service charge Affixer assesses as payable for the use of the Affixer Platform, variable based on the Task Payment amount, and (v) the platform fee (sometimes referred to as Trust & Support Fee), which is used to offset Affixer’s cost of providing Users with customer support, providing the Affixer Happiness Pledge set forth in Section 12, and other various business objectives, and (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. Taskers will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees (applicable to Tasker registrants), (ii) cancellation fees, if applicable and (iii) repayment of erroneous payments. Clients may also be charged credit card processing fees equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate expense amount if expenses related to a Task individually, or Tasks in the aggregate over a 30-day period, exceed $300.00.

Taskers may be required to register with the PSP, agree to terms of service of the PSP, and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up their account with the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”). By accepting these Terms of Service, each Tasker agrees that they have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to, the PSP Services Agreement. Please note that Affixer is not a party to the PSP Services Agreement and that you, the PSP and any other parties listed in the PSP Services Agreement are the parties to the PSP Services Agreement and that Affixer has no obligations or liability to any Tasker or other party under the PSP Services Agreement.

To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, Company and/or the PSP may validate an account before activation. As part of the account validation, a very temporary charge is placed on the account associated with the User and then refunded within 1-3 business days. Due to the difference in PSP and credit card issuer requirements, this temporary charge may vary between $0.01 US to $5000.00 US, depending on the estimated value of the Task and expenses.

When Client receives confirmation through the Affixer Platform or via email that a Task has been completed, Client automatically authorises the PSP to process the Invoice. Users may be charged a one-hour cancellation fee through the PSP if you book (or accept) a Task, but cancel it before the scheduled time for performance.

Affixer reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, upon request from Client or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Affixer Platform, to (i) place on hold any Task Payment, out of pocket expenses, and/or tip or gratuity (if applicable) or (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the PSP to do so.

Task Payment and fees must be paid through the PSP as indicated on the Affixer Platform.

Users of the Affixer Platform will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable) required to be paid on the Tasks provided under the Agreement.

5. Contests, Gift Cards, and Promotional Codes,

Company may from time to time provide certain promotional opportunities and contests to Users. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of Company, and shall be subject to separate contest terms.

Company gift cards (“Gift Cards”), and promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) may be available and can be used to pay Task Payments and Company service charges and platform fees in part or in full, but may not be used to pay for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses or tips associated with a Task provided through the Affixer Platform.

(a) Promo Codes

Promo Codes are an offer by the Company to reduce the amount a Client has to pay in relation to a Task Payment, service fee, and/or platform fee. Promo Codes will not affect the amount of the Task Payment a Tasker ultimately receives. You agree that you will use Promo Codes in accordance with the terms of the Promo Code. Affixer reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code by you or any other User in the event that Company determines or believes that the use or redemption of a Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or this Agreement.

(b) Gift Cards

Gift Cards can only be used in connection with Tasks performed on the Affixer Platform, are not replaceable if lost or stolen and have no expiration date. Gift cards, have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash except as required by law; Company may remit the cash associated with unused Gift Card balances if required by law. Gift Cards will not be directly accepted by Taskers as a payment method (you need to enter the Voucher into your account) and have no expiration date.

A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Cards, gift certificates or other Promo Codes. A Gift Card cannot be used as a credit or debit card. Company reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity and to cancel a Gift Card if it believes that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. You cannot “reload” a Gift Card (i.e., you cannot add value/balance to your Gift Card at this time). If a Gift Card holder's purchase exceeds the amount of that Gift Card's balance, the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another means. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable. Company reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if Company believes that a billing error has occurred. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement, and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof.

6. Public Areas; Acceptable Use

The Affixer Platform may contain profiles, email systems, blogs, message boards, reviews, ratings, applications, job postings, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities and/or other message or communication facilities (“Public Areas”) that allow Users to communicate with other Users.

11. Worker Classification and Withholdings

As set forth in Section 1, Affixer does not perform Tasks and does not employ individuals to perform Tasks. Each User assumes all liability for proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable legal guidelines.

Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral - whether implied or express - contracts on behalf of Affixer. Each User acknowledges that Affixer does not, in any way, supervise, direct, control or monitor a Tasker’s work or Tasks performed in any manner. Affixer does not set a Tasker’s work hours or location of work. Affixer will not provide any equipment, labour or materials needed for a particular Task. Affixer does not provide any supervision to Users.

The Affixer Platform is not an employment service and Affixer is not an employer of any User. As such, Affixer is not responsible for and will not be liable for any tax payment or withholding, including but not limited to National Insurance, employer’s liability, social security, PAYE or other payroll withholding tax in connection with a User’s use of the Affixer Platform. Users agrees to indemnify Affixer and Affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from or in connection with:

A Tasker being misclassified as an independent contractor or employee;
Affixer being incorrectly held to be an employer or joint employer of a Tasker; or
Any other relevant third-party claims under any employment-related laws, such as those relating to employment termination, employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation, as well as any claims for overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, retirement benefits, worker’s compensation benefits, unemployment benefits or any other employee benefits.

The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for all required and applicable income tax and National Insurance Contributions withholdings as to the Tasker and all persons engaged by the Tasker in the performance of the Task services.

12. Affixer Happiness Pledge

The Affixer UK Happiness Pledge is part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference. Taskers determine what categories they are qualified to task in and scope the Task directly with their Client. Affixer does not oversee, monitor or direct how a Tasker performs a Task, does not monitor Tasks or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise oversee or assume responsibility for the actions of Users. Clients are advised to confirm with their Tasker that their Tasker is qualified to perform the Task prior to the Task taking place. Affixer is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does Affixer provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, Affixer wants Users to be happy about their experience using the Affixer Platform and the Happiness Pledge is in place to encourage continued use of the Affixer Platform.

Payments made under the Happiness Pledge are entirely discretionary, however, and subject to certain conditions, limitations and exclusions, as described in the Affixer Happiness Pledge. The Happiness Pledge does not supercede any of the terms set forth in the Terms or Service or Privacy Policy, including any of the limitations of liability set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement. In the unlikely event of a conflict with the Happiness Pledge, this Agreement prevails over any contrary interpretation of the Happiness Pledge. All monetary amounts may be paid in the applicable Sterling equivalent using conversion rates from USD on the date of payment to the User. The Affixer Happiness Pledge is not intended to be any sort of insurance and Affixer is not an insurer, as such terms are understood for regulatory purposes.

As with the purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any environment, you should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, Affixer and Affiliates do not warrant that access to the Affixer Platform will be uninterrupted or that the Affixer Platform will be error-free; nor do they make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Affixer Platform, or as to the timeliness, accuracy, reliability, completeness or content of any Task, service, information or materials provided through or in connection with the use of the Affixer Platform.

Affixer and Affiliates do not warrant that the Affixer Platform is free from computer viruses, system failures, worms, trojan horses, or other harmful components or malfunctions, including during hyperlink to or from third-party websites.

Notwithstanding any feature a Client may use to expedite Affixer selection, each Client is responsible for determining the Task and selecting their Tasker and Affixer does not warrant any goods or services purchased by a Client and does not recommend any particular Tasker. Affixer does not provide any warranties or guarantees regarding any Tasker’s professional accreditation, registration or license.

In addition, no individual or entity shall be a third party beneficiary of these Terms. These Terms are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and are not intended to and shall not be construed to give any person or entity other than you any interest, remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or any other rights (including, without limitation, any third party beneficiary rights), with respect to or in connection with any agreement or provision contained herein or contemplated hereby.

(b) No liability

You acknowledge and agree that Affixer is only willing to provide the Affixer Platform if you agree to certain limitations of our liability to you and third parties. Therefore, you agree not to hold Affixer and Affiliates, or their corporate partners, liable for any claims, demands, damages, expenses, losses, governmental obligations, suits, and/or controversies of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed (collectively, “liabilities”) that have arisen or may arise, relating to your or any other party’s use of or inability to use the Affixer Platform, including without limitation any liabilities arising in connection with the conduct, act or omission of any User (including without limitation stalking, harassment that is sexual or otherwise, acts of physical violence, and destruction of personal property), any dispute with any User, any instruction, advice, act, or service provided by Affixer and Affiliates and any destruction of your User Generated Content.

Under no circumstances will Affixer and Affiliates or their corporate partners be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, actual, consequential, economic, special or exemplary damages (including but not limited to lost profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, system failure, failure to store any information or other content maintained or transmitted by Affixer, or the cost of substitute products or services) arising in connection with your use of or inability to use the Affixer Platform or the Task services, even if advised of the possibility of the same.

Affixer and Affiliates expressly disclaim any liability that may arise between Users of the Affixer Platform. Affixer and Affiliates also do not accept any liability with respect to the quality or fitness of any work performed via the Affixer Platform.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing exclusions, it is determined that Affixer and Affiliates or their corporate partners are liable for damages, in no event will the aggregate liability, whether arising in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, exceed the total fees paid by you to Company during the six (6) months prior to the time such claim arose, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Regardless of any other provision in this Agreement, nothing in these Terms of Service excludes or limits liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by Affixer’s negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) any other liability that, by law, may not be limited or excluded.

The Affixer Platform is only a venue for connecting Users. Because Affixer is not a party to or otherwise involved in the actual contract between Users or in the completion of the Task, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you hereby release Affixer and Affiliates and their corporate partners from any and all claims, demands, damages (including direct, indirect, incidental, actual, consequential, economic, special, or exemplary), expenses, losses, governmental obligations, suits and/or controversies of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

17. Indemnification

22. Licensing

Clients may wish to consult their national or local requirements to determine whether certain Tasks are required to be performed by a licensed professional.
