TASKERS ARE INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS. TASKERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF CLIENTS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR FRANCHISEES OF TASKME. TASKME DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. BY CONNECTING PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES SEEKING SERVICES WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS, TASKME OPERATES AS AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE THAT CONNECTS CLIENTS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS (TASKERS) WHO WISH TO PERFORM A VARIETY OF TASKS.

(the “Service Agreement”). The terms set out in this section three of these terms of service, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the TaskMe 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 shall constitute the terms of the Service Agreement, The Service Agreement and any other consequential or incidental agreement resulting thereof shall not expand TaskMe’s obligations or restrict TaskMe’s rights under this Agreement. TaskMe is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create an employment or other service relationship between TaskMe and the Tasker, nor will it create an employment relationship between the Client and the Tasker. Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of TaskMe.
A Tasker is not obligated to personally perform the Task. A Tasker is permitted to engage the services of assistants and helpers, may subcontractor the Task provided that prior approval has been sought and received from the Clients such other personnel employed in the fulfilment of the Task shall be referred to as (collectively “Tasker Assistants”). For safety reasons, such Tasker Assistants shall have been registered through the TaskMe Platform. A Tasker’s failure to comply with this provision shall be a violation of these Terms of Service and could lead to removal from the TaskMe Platform. The Tasker is solely and fully responsible for whatever acts or omissions to act by said Tasker Assistants and will bear the full responsibility for the lawful payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Tasker Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable tax withholdings as to such Tasker Assistants. Clients are responsible for confirming with their Tasker that any Tasker Assistants are registered Taskers on the TaskMe Platform.
In the course of making use of the TaskMe Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed. Clients agree and acknowledge that in the event that someone other than them procures a Task on their behalf or is present in their stead 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. If you are acting as the Client’s Agent and are accessing and using the TaskMe Platform on behalf of a Client, you represent that you have the authority to act as their agent and to bind that person as the principal to all provisions of the Terms of Service. Client’s Agent may authorize any applicable waiver of the Client’s scoping, direction, or instruction of the Tasker’s work or performance of the Task in the Client’s stead. Client agrees that such direction and/or waiver is valid 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.

Each User agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task.
4. Billing and Payment
Users of the TaskMe Platform contract for Tasks directly with other Users. TaskMe will not be a party to any contracts for Tasks or services. Client, and not TaskMe, is responsible for payment for all Task services through the TaskMe Platform. Such payment must be made via the approved PSP. TaskMe is not obligated to compensate Tasker for Client’s failure to pay for services.
The Task Payment and service charge must be paid through the PSP. Clients on the TaskMe Platform will be required to provide their payment method details to TaskMe and the PSP. Taskers are responsible for accurately invoicing their Clients within 24 hours of the work being performed, even if the Task is not completed in its entirety or is designated as “ongoing”. Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice(s) for each Task (the “Invoice(s)” ), which will include (a) the pricing terms of the Task provided by the Tasker and agreed upon by the parties ( “Task Payment” ), (b) any out of pocket expenses agreed upon by the parties and submitted by the Tasker in connection with the Task, (c) the service charge TaskMe assesses to the Client for access to and information regarding Taskers, and (d`) cancellation charges, if applicable. In addition, a tip or gratuity, as applicable, may be added by the Client or at the Client’s direction to the Invoice(s), and all such tips or gratuities shall go directly to the Tasker. Taskers are charged 10% of all task invoices as a service charge, with the minimum amount that can be invoiced for a Task being (1000) a thousand Nigerian Naira, while Clients are charged a minimum of 10% of the value of a task or (250) two hundred and fifty Nigerian Naira, whichever is more.
Taskers will be required to input their bank account details and Bank Verification Number which shall be used to determine that the payment is going to the Tasker in question. As part of the validation process to prevent and reduce fraud on the platform, Taskme will hold in escrow any payment made by a Client to a Tasker for three working days pending a confirmation of the quality of the job/service performed by the Tasker and no complaint or issue being raised by the Client, upon which the service charge will be deducted and payment released top the Tasker.
When a Client receives confirmation through the TaskMe Platform or via email that a Task has been completed, Client automatically authorizes the PSP to process the Invoice(s).
TaskMe reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Client or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the TaskMe Platform, to place on hold any Task Payment, out of pocket expenses, and/or tip or gratuity (if applicable), or refund or provide credits, or arrange for the PSP to do so.
Users of the TaskMe Platform may be liable for any taxes or similar charges (including VAT, if applicable in the country where the Task is performed) required to be collected and/or paid on the Tasks and/or fees provided under the Agreement.

11. TaskMe Operates as an Online Marketplace
TaskMe operates as an online marketplace that connects Clients with service providers (Taskers) who wish to perform a variety of Tasks. TaskMe does not perform Tasks. Taskme does not employ people to perform Tasks. Taskers 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 TaskMe Platform. TaskMe does not control or direct the Taskers’ performance of their services or set their work locations, work hours, or terms of work. Taskers provide services under their own name or business name, and not under TaskMe’s name. Taskers provide their own tools and supplies to perform their services; TaskMe does not provide the tools or supplies. Taskers are free to maintain a clientele without any restrictions from TaskMe and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. Taskers are free to accept or reject Clients and contracts. Taskers are not penalized for rejecting Clients or contracts, though if Taskers accept a Client or contract through the TaskMe Platform, they are expected to fulfill their contractual obligations to their client. Taskers set their own rates for services performed in the TaskMe general marketplace, without deduction by TaskMe.
The TaskMe Platform is not an employment agency service or business and TaskMe is not an employer of any User. Taskers acknowledge and confirm that they are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into Service Agreements and performing Tasks and that, depending on how they exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.

Clients may wish to consult their local authorities to determine whether certain Tasks are required to be performed by a licensed or otherwise registered professional. Clients may also wish to discuss with their Tasker any specific hazards, obstacles, or impediments in the Task location (both visible and concealed) that may impact the performance of the Task.
