1. The Bookmyhelp Digital Platform

The Bookmyhelp Platform is a web- and app-based two-sided marketplace which enables connections between Clients and Helpers. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Helps”) from Helpers. “Helpers” are businesses seeking to perform Helps for Clients. Clients and Helpers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.”

Helpers are independent business owners. They are independent contractors engaged by clients and not employees, partners, representatives, agents, joint venturers, or franchisees of Bookmyhelp. Bookmyhelp does not perform Helps, nor does it employ individuals to perform tasks. Instead, Bookmyhelp operates as an online marketplace connecting people and businesses seeking services with service providers (Helpers) who wish to perform a variety of tasks.

Users acknowledge that Bookmyhelp does not supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor a Helper’s work. Bookmyhelp expressly disclaims (to the extent permitted by law) any responsibility and liability for the work performed and the tasks in any manner, including but not limited to a warranty or condition of good and workmanlike services, quality, fitness for a particular purpose, or compliance with any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or code.

Any reference on the Bookmyhelp Platform to a Helper being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or "Background Checked," “verified”, “Certified”, “Licensed”, “Insured”, “Skill Verified”(or similar language) designations indicates only that the Helper has completed a relevant account registration process or met certain criteria and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Bookmyhelp of such Helper’s skills, qualifications, verification or notification whether they are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for Clients to evaluate when they make informed decisions about the identity and suitability of Helpers whom they select, interact, or contract with through the Bookmyhelp Platform.

The Bookmyhelp Platform enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Helps. Bookmyhelp 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 Helps, Helpers, or Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions, omissions or errors whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to each other. Bookmyhelp makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Helps requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the Bookmyhelp Platform, whether in public or private, via on- or off-line interactions, or otherwise howsoever.

2.Helper Background Checks

Helpers may be subject to a review process before they can register for and during their use of the Bookmyhelp Platform, which may include but is not limited to identity verification and criminal background checks, using third party services as appropriate (“Background Checks”). Although Bookmyhelp may perform Background Checks, Bookmyhelp cannot confirm that any User is who they claim to be, and Bookmyhelp cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information.

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. Bookmyhelp will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Bookmyhelp Platform.

3. Helper Trade Certificate and License Verification

Bookmyhelp may verify a Helper's ability to provide services in trade skills where certification or licensing is required by law. We may use third-party services for this verification. While Bookmyhelp may verify trade licenses and certificates, we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of this information.

Bookmyhelp will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by users of the Bookmyhelp platform.

4. Insurance

Service Providers on the Bookmyhelp platform are required to maintain appropriate liability insurance, including but not limited to general liability, commercial liability, or professional liability insurance, as applicable to the trade they practice and in compliance with regional or national laws. This requirement ensures that Service Providers are adequately covered for any potential risks and liabilities associated with their services. Bookmyhelp will verify that each Service Provider has the necessary insurance coverage to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and safety. However, Bookmyhelp does not assume responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of the insurance coverage provided by the Service Providers. This verification is performed to foster a secure and reliable environment for both Helpers and Clients, and to maintain the integrity and trustworthiness of the Bookmyhelp platform.

5. Errors or Omissions

Neither Bookmyhelp, nor its parents, affiliates, or licensors, including their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, investors, subsidiaries, attorneys, representatives, insurers, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as "Affiliates"), are responsible or liable for the conduct, acts, or omissions, whether online or offline, of any user of the Bookmyhelp platform. To the extent permitted by law, you hereby release Bookmyhelp and its Affiliates from any and all liability, claims, demands, or damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with the Bookmyhelp platform. Bookmyhelp is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or actions of any Helper before, during, or after the provision of their services. This includes, but is not limited to, any mistakes, negligence, misconduct, or failure to perform the agreed-upon tasks by the Helper. Bookmyhelp does not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of the services provided by Helpers, nor does it endorse or validate their qualifications, certifications, or background. Clients are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting Helpers and should exercise caution and due diligence in all interactions. Bookmyhelp disclaims any liability for any damages, losses, or disputes arising from or related to the services provided by Helpers, including but not limited to personal injury, property damage, financial loss, or any other harm or inconvenience experienced by Clients or third parties.

6. User Representations and Warranties

All Users represent and warrant that:

Helpers additionally represent and warrant that:

7. Engagement between Clients and Helpers

Bookmyhelp as an Independent Platform:

Bookmyhelp is not a party to any Service Agreement, and the formation of such an agreement does not create an employment or service relationship between Bookmyhelp and the Helper, nor between the Client and the Helper. Users do not have the authority to enter written or oral contracts, whether implied or expressed, on behalf of Bookmyhelp.

Helper Engagement and Responsibility:

With prior approval from the Client, Helpers are not required to personally perform the Help and may engage assistants, helpers, subcontractors, or other personnel (collectively “Helper Assistants”). For safety reasons, these Helper Assistants must be registered through the Bookmyhelp platform. Non-compliance with this requirement is a violation of these Terms of Service and may result in removal from the platform. The Helper is fully responsible for the actions and omissions of their Helper Assistants, including lawful payment of compensation, benefits, expenses, and any applicable tax withholdings. Clients must confirm that any Helper Assistants are registered on the Bookmyhelp platform.

Client's Agent Authorization:

Clients have the discretion to decide whether to be present during the performance of a Help. If another person books the Help on behalf of the Client or is present instead of the Client, that person is considered the Client's agent (“Client’s Agent”), and the Helper may take directions from the Client’s Agent as if given by the Client. By acting as a Client’s Agent, you represent that you have the authority to bind the Client to all terms of the Service Agreement and these Terms of Service. The Client’s Agent can authorize any applicable waiver of the Client’s scoping, direction, or instruction of the Help. The Client is responsible and liable for all actions and directions given by the Client’s Agent.

Payment Obligations:

The Client must pay their Helper(s) in full for all services via the authorized third-party payment service provider as indicated on the Bookmyhelp platform, at the rates agreed upon in the Service Agreement. Users agree to comply with the terms of both the Service Agreement and these Terms of Service during the engagement, performance, and completion of a Help.

8. Billing and Payment

Bookmyhelp will not be a party to any contracts for Helps or services. The Client, and not Bookmyhelp, is responsible for payment for all Help services through the Bookmyhelp Platform. Such payment must be made via the authorized third-party payment provider.

The Help Service Charge, Trustworthiness and Assurance Fee, Taxes as applicable, cancellation charges, penalty fee or any other charges must be paid through the authorized third-party payment provider. Clients on the Bookmyhelp Platform will be required to provide their payment method details to Bookmyhelp. Helpers will be responsible for paying background check fees, repayment of erroneous payments, and registration fees, if applicable.

Helpers will be required to set up an account with the authorized third-party payment provider, which may require registration, consent to the terms of service, and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation or adhere to any other instruction as required by the authorized third-party payment provider. The Helper agrees that Bookmyhelp has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Helper or other party for any error or omission made by the authorized third-party payment service provider.

To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, Bookmyhelp may validate an account before activation and prior to each booking.

When Client receives confirmation through the Bookmyhelp Platform or via email that a Help has been completed, Client automatically authorizes to process the payment. Clients may be billed a one-hour cancellation charge as damages at the Helper’s hourly rate if you book a Help, but cancel it before the scheduled time for performance

Bookmyhelp reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Client or Helper, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Bookmyhelp Platform, to place on hold any Help Payment, out of pocket expenses, and/or tip or gratuity (if applicable), or refund or provide credits, or arrange for the authorized third-party payment provider to do so.

Users of the Bookmyhelp Platform may be liable for any taxes or similar charges required to be collected and/or paid on the Helps and/or fees provided under the Agreement.

In certain jurisdictions, applicable rules may require that we collect or report tax and/or revenue information about you. You agree that Bookmyhelp may issue on your behalf receipts or similar documentation to facilitate accurate tax reporting.

9. Discounts and Promotions

Bookmyhelp may periodically offer promotional opportunities to Users. These promotions are conducted at the sole discretion of Bookmyhelp and may be implemented, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The liability of Bookmyhelp, its Affiliates, and any corporate partners in relation to these promotional opportunities and contests is governed by the limitations outlined further in these Terms of Service.

Bookmyhelp promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) may be provided and can be used to offset Help Payments, the Bookmyhelp service charge, and the Trust & Support fee, either partially or in full. However, Promo Codes cannot be used to cover reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, tips, or gratuities related to a Help provided through the Bookmyhelp platform.

Promo Codes are offered by Bookmyhelp to reduce the amount a Client must pay for a Help Payment, service charge, and/or Trust & Support fee. The use of Promo Codes does not affect the amount the Helper ultimately receives for their services. Promo Codes are intended purely as promotional tools and do not create any relationship or engagement between Bookmyhelp and the Helper or Client, nor do they constitute wages, fees, or other amounts paid to the Helper. Users agree to use Promo Codes in accordance with the specific terms and conditions governing their use. A new user Promo Code may only be used once per User, regardless of the email address used during registration.

Bookmyhelp reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits, features, or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code if it determines that the use or redemption of the Promo Code was erroneous, fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms and conditions or these Terms of Service.

15. Bookmyhelp Platform Overview

Bookmyhelp operates as an online marketplace that connects Clients with service providers (Helpers) who wish to perform a variety of Helps. Bookmyhelp does not perform Helps and does not employ people to perform Helps. Helpers operate as independent business owners and are customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as that involved in the services performed for Clients through the Bookmyhelp Platform. Bookmyhelp does not control or direct the Helpers’ performance of their services or set their work locations, work hours, or terms of work. Helpers provide services under their own name or business name, and not under Bookmyhelp’s name. Helpers provide their own tools and supplies to perform their services; Bookmyhelp does not provide the tools or supplies. Helpers are free to maintain a clientele without any restrictions from Bookmyhelp and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. Helpers are free to accept or reject Clients and contracts. Helpers are not penalized for rejecting Clients or contracts, though if Helpers accept a Client or contract through the Bookmyhelp Platform, they are expected to fulfill their contractual obligations to their client. Helpers set their own rates for services performed in the Bookmyhelp general marketplace, without deduction by Bookmyhelp.

Helpers acknowledge and confirm that they are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into Service Agreements and performing Helps and that, depending on how they exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.

16. Links to Third-Party Websites

The Bookmyhelp Platform may contain links (such as hyperlinks) to third-party websites. Such links do not constitute endorsement by Bookmyhelp or association with those websites, their content or their operators. Such links are provided as an information service, for reference and convenience only. Bookmyhelp does not control any such websites, and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, advertising, products, or services. You acknowledge and agree that Bookmyhelp is not involved in the creation or development of third-party websites and disclaims any responsibility for third-party websites and cannot be liable for claims arising out of or relating to third-party websites.

17. Bookmyhelp We Care

The Bookmyhelp We Care applicable to the country where the Help is performed is part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference. Helpers determine which categories they are qualified to task in, and scope the Help directly with their Client. Bookmyhelp does not oversee, monitor or direct how a Helper performs a Help, does not monitor Helps or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise assume responsibility for the actions of Users. Clients are advised to confirm with their Helper that s/he is qualified to perform the Help prior to the Help taking place. Bookmyhelp is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does Bookmyhelp provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, Bookmyhelp wants Users to be happy about their experience using the Bookmyhelp Platform and the We Care is in place to encourage continued use of the Bookmyhelp Platform.
