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

Any rating on the Wosido Platform to a Task Performer indicates only that the Task Performer has completed a relevant account process or met certain criteria and does not represent anything else. Any such rating is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Wosido of such Task Performer’s skills or qualifications or whether they are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for Customers to evaluate when they make their own decisions about the identity and suitability of Task Performers whom they contact or interact with via the Wosido Platform.
The Wosido Platform enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Tasks. Wosido 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, Task Performers, or Customers, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to each other.

1. User Background Checks and User Representations and Warranties
1.1. User Background Checks
Users may be subject to a review process before they can register for and during their use of the Wosido Platform. Although Wosido may perform Background Checks, Wosido cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be, and Wosido 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. Wosido will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Wosido Platform.

Task Performers additionally represent and warrant that:
2. Contract between Customers and Task Performers
You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract with another User (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when an application of the task performer is accepted by the customer. Wosido 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 Wosido and the Task Performer, nor will it create an employment relationship between the Customer and the Task Performer. Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of Wosido. Wosido’s role, beyond enabling connections between Customers and Task Performers via it’s web-based communications platform, is to act as a limited payment collection agent for the Task Performer to facilitate payment for Tasks on behalf of the Task Performer through the Wosido Platform. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for Tasks on the Wosido Platform, Wosido disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Task Performer, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Task Performer, either within or outside of the Wosido Platform.
Where approved in advance by the Customer, the Task Performer is not obligated to personally perform the Task. Task Performers may engage assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel (collectively “Task Performer Assistants”). The Task Performer assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Task Performer Assistants and is fully responsible for the lawful payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Task Performer Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable tax withholdings as to such Task Performer Assistants.
While using the Wosido Platform, Customers, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed. Customers who elect not to be present when a Task is performed agree that if someone other than them books the Task on their behalf or is present when the Task is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent (“Customer’s Agent”) and the Task Performer may take and follow direction from the Customer’s Agent as if such direction was given from the Customer him or herself. If you are a Customer’s Agent and accessing and using the Wosido Platform on behalf of a Customer, 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. Customer assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of Customer’s Agents. Customer’s Agents are deemed third parties for the purposes of the Happiness Pledge and are thereby excluded from it.
The Customer shall pay their Task Performer(s) in full for all Task services via the Wosido Platform as indicated on the Wosido Platform, at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each User agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task.
3. Billing and Payment
Payment for Task services through the Wosido Platform is made directly from the Customer to the Task Performer via the Platfrom, and not by Wosido. Wosido is not obligated to compensate Task Performer for Customer’s failure to pay for services. Refunds for unsatisfactory execution will not be granted by the Wosido Platform.
The Task Payment, service charge, and platform fee must be paid through the Wosido Platform. Users of the Wosido Platform will be required to provide their payment method details to Wosido and the Payment Provider (Stripe).
Customers are responsible for confirming the completion of the task within 24 hours after completion. If no confirmation is received within this period, the order is automatically confirmed as completed.
After a binding contract has been concluded between the users, the agreed amount in Swiss francs is transferred to an escrow account operated by Stripe. After confirmation of the execution of the task, the amount, less a service charge of 15% Wosdio assesses, will be transferred to the Task Performer.
Customers may also be charged credit card processing fees equal to 3% of the aggregate expense
Task Performers will be required to set up an account with Stripe, which may require any or all of the following: registration with the, agreement with the terms of service of Stripe (the “Stripe Services Agreement”), and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation at the request of Stripe. By accepting these Terms of Service, each Task Performer agrees that they have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to, the Services Agreement of Stripe. Please note that Wosido is not a party to the Services Agreement between Stripe and the Users.
To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, Wosido and/or Stripe may validate an account before activation and prior to each booking. As part of the validation process, temporary charges may be placed on the account associated with the User and then refunded within 1-3 business days. Due to the difference in credit card issuer requirements, this temporary charge may vary depending on the estimated value of the Task and expenses.
Customer may be charged a one-hour cancellation fee at the Task Performer’s hourly rate as well as the complete service charge of the complete task if you book) a Task, but cancel it before (or fail to appear upon) the scheduled time for performance.
Wosido reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Customer or Task Performer, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Wosido 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 LemonWay to do so.
