1. The Paperound Platform Connects Taskers and Customers
The Paperound Platform is a web-based communications platform which enables connections between Customers and Taskers. “Customers” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Tasks”) from Taskers and are therefore Customers of Taskers, and “Taskers” are businesses seeking to perform Tasks for Customers. Customers 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 BUSINESS OWNERS. TASKERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF CUSTOMERS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR FRANCHISEES OF PAPEROUND. PAPEROUND DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. BY CONNECTING PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES SEEKING SERVICES WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS, PAPEROUND OPERATES AS AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE THAT CONNECTS CUSTOMERS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS (TASKERS) WHO WISH TO PERFORM A VARIETY OF TASKS.
USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PAPEROUND DOES NOT SUPERVISE, SCOPE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A TASKER’S WORK AND 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, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, STATUTE, ORDINANCE, REGULATION, OR CODE.
Any reference on the Paperound Platform to a Tasker being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or "badged," “reliable,” “reliability rate,” “elite,” “great value,” "background checked," “vetted” (or similar language) designations indicates only that the Tasker has completed a relevant account process or met certain criteria and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Paperound of such Tasker’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 Taskers whom they contact or interact with via the Paperound Platform.
The Paperound Platform enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Tasks. Paperound 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, 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. Paperound 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 Paperound Platform, whether in public or private, via on- or off-line interactions, or otherwise howsoever.
2. User Background Checks and User Representations and Warranties
User Background Checks
Users may be subject to a review process before they can register for and during their use of the Paperound Platform, which may include but is not limited to: interview process and identity verification, using third party services as appropriate (“Background Checks”). Although Paperound may perform Background Checks, Paperound cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be, and Paperound 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. Paperound will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Paperound Platform.

3. Contract between Customers and Taskers
You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract with another User (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you and that User agree on the terms of a Task. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Paperound Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the Tasker and their Customer to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, including this Section 3, and do not expand Paperound’s obligations or restrict Paperound’s rights under this Agreement. Paperound 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 Paperound and the Tasker, nor will it create an employment relationship between the Customer and the Tasker. Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of Paperound. Paperound’s role, beyond enabling connections between Customers and Taskers via it’s web-based communications platform, is to act as a limited payment collection agent for the Tasker to facilitate payment for Tasks on behalf of the Tasker through the Paperound Platform using the PSP. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for Tasks on the Paperound Platform, Paperound disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Tasker, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Tasker, either within or outside of the Paperound Platform.
If you are a Customer’s Agent and accessing and using the Paperound 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. The Customer assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of Customer’s Agents.
The Customer shall pay their Tasker(s) in full for all Task services via the PSP as indicated on the Paperound 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.
4. Billing and Payment
Users of the Paperound Platform contract for Tasks directly with other Users. Paperound will not be a party to any contracts for Tasks or services. Payment for Task services through the Paperound Platform is made directly from the Customer to the Tasker via the PSP, and not by Paperound. Paperound is not obligated to compensate Tasker for Customer’s failure to pay for services.
The Task Payment, service charge, and platform fee must be paid through the PSP. Users of the Paperound Platform will be required to provide their payment method details to Paperound and the PSP. Customers will be responsible for paying the invoice(s) for each Task (the “Invoice(s)”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the Task provided by the Tasker and agreed upon by the parties (“Task Payment”), (iii) the service charge Paperound assesses to the Customer as payable for the use of the Paperound Platform, and (iv) the platform fee (sometimes referred to as Trust & Support Fee) Paperound assesses to the Customer, which is used to offset Paperound’s cost of providing Users with customer support, other various business objectives, or (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. Customers may also be charged credit card processing fees equal to 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 / 300£ / 300€, as applicable in your country. Taskers will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees, if applicable, (ii) cancellation fees, if applicable, and (iii) repayment of erroneous payments.
Taskers will be required to set up an account with the PSP, which may require any or all of the following: registration with the PSP, and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation at the request of the PSP. 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 Paperound 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 Paperound has no obligations, responsibility 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, Paperound and/or the PSP 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 PSP and credit card issuer requirements, this temporary charge may vary depending on the estimated value of the Task and expenses.
When Customer receives confirmation through the Paperound Platform or via email that a Task has been completed, Customer’s manually authorize the PSP to process the Invoice(s).
Paperound reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Customer or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Paperound Platform, to (i) place on hold any Task Payment, or (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the PSP to do so.
Users of the Paperound Platform will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable in the country where the Task is performed) required to be paid on the Tasks provided under the Agreement.

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 Paperound. Such notification can be made info@paperound.com

12. Paperound Operates as an Online Marketplace
Paperound operates as an online marketplace that connects Customers with service providers (Taskers) who wish to perform a variety of Tasks. Paperound does not perform Tasks and 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 Customers through the Paperound Platform. Paperound does not control or direct the Taskers’ performance of their services or set their work locations or work hours. Taskers provide services under their own name or business name, and not under Paperound’s name. Taskers provide their own tools and supplies to perform their services; Paperound does not provide the tools or supplies. Taskers are free to maintain a customer base without any restrictions from Paperound and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. Paperound does not set Taskers’ hours or terms of work. Taskers are free to accept or reject Customers and contracts. Taskers are not penalized for rejecting Customers or contracts, though if Taskers accept a Customer or contract through the Paperound Platform, they are expected to fulfill their contractual obligations. Taskers set their own rates for services performed in the Paperound general marketplace.
The Paperound Platform is not an employment agency service or business and Paperound 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.
