HandyX reserves the right to alter, modify and remove Service requests.

    Unless otherwise disclosed, Providers are deemed to be unlicensed. Please note that in certain markets Provider may be required to have a license to perform certain Services that will exceed a monetary threshold. For example, regulations applicable in certain markets require a license for work that will total more than $1,000.00. Thus, Customers must decide for themselves whether a Provider is qualified to perform the requested Service. Customers should consult their state or local requirements to determine whether certain Services are required to be performed by a licensed professional.

    Services ordered or executed through the HandyX platform may include delivery, installation, and/or assembly of household items obtained from a third party (“Merchandise”). HandyX does not provide and is not responsible for Merchandise, and does not itself provide the Services.

    ANY DECISION BY USERS TO OFFER OR ACCEPT SERVICES THROUGH THE HANDYX APP OR SITE IS A DECISION MADE IN SUCH USER'S SOLE DISCRETION. IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO THE CUSTOMER TO EVALUATE THE HANDYMAN OR THE PROVIDER AND THE PROVIDER’S QUALIFICATIONS, AND UP TO THE PROVIDER TO EVALUATE THE JOB ORDERED. EACH SERVICE PROVIDED BY A PROVIDER TO A CUSTOMER SHALL CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THAT PROVIDER AND CUSTOMER. PROVIDERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND NOT EMPLOYEES OR SUBCONTRACTORS OF HANDYX. HANDYX MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF USERS, NOR DOES IT HAVE CONTROL OVER OR MAKE REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE QUALITY, TIMING, LEGALITY, FAILURE TO PROVIDE, OR ANY OTHER ASPECT WHATSOEVER RELATING TO ANY SERVICES. HANDYX DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE QUALITY, TIMING OR LEGALITY OF SERVICES DELIVERED BY HANDYMAN OR THE PROVIDERS.

    Unless otherwise disclosed, HandyX verifies the backgrounds of each Handyman or Provider using third-party background verification services that include, but are not limited to, a sex offenders registry check; county, state, federal and national criminal records check; and domestic and international terrorist watchlist check. HandyX also requires each Handyman or Provider to submit to HandyX at least two pieces of IDs, such as a government-issued photo ID, a State ID, a driver license and a profile picture. A verified Handyman also upload his license documents if available to authenticate his proficiency or experience on a subject matter. Handyman or Providers hereby give consent to HandyX to conduct background checks as often as required in compliance with applicable law, including without limitation the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Although HandyX performs background and identity verification on each Provider, HandyX cannot confirm that each Provider is who they claim to be, and therefore, HandyX cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of the identity or background check information or any information provided through the Service. HandyX cannot and does not guarantee that a Provider’s profile and background check information are current and up to date.

    USER MUST ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT HANDYX IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE OUT OF THE SERVICES.

Each User should exercise caution and common sense to protect their personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with any person with whom you do not know.

    5. Earnings, Fees for Services and Tips

      A Handyman or a service provider receives (Earns) 20%-25% less than what the customer posted a job for, after he or she completed the job. (Example: Tony posted an ad for a plumbing job for $100 and David, the Handyman completed the job. After the job completion David earned $80, which is 20% less.) After completion of each job, customer receives a confirmation and directed to Rate (Review) the Handyman and add a Tip if the customer feels that the service provider had done an excellent job. Tipping is entirely up to the service receiver or the customer. Once the tipping is executed, it will not be reversed and therefore tipping is solely depends on the customer action.

    The fees for use of the Site are posted at http://www.thehandyx.com/fee schedule and will be assessed in U.S. Dollars. Your account and all transactions are made and displayed in U.S. dollars.

    If a dispute arises between you and HandyX, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that relates to or arises out of the Terms of Use or the Services or your use of the Services (a "Claim") in accordance with the subsections below.

    • General. You and HandyX agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration; except that either party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court. You acknowledge and agree that you and HandyX are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and HandyX otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Legal Disputes" section will be deemed void. This "Legal Disputes" section will survive any termination of these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's intellectual property or proprietary rights or breach of the User Content and Activities provisions of this Agreement.
    • Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section of these Terms of Use. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
    • Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org/si.asp?id=3477 and a separate form for California residents at www.adr.org/si.asp?id=3485.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
    • Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and HandyX otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and HandyX submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
    • Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of Limitation of Liability section of these Terms of Use as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. HandyX will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
    • Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, HandyX will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
    • Changes. If HandyX changes this Legal Disputes section, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to handyx.legal@gmail.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and HandyX Inc in accordance with the provisions of this Section as of the date you first accepted the terms of these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use).

    This "Legal Disputes" section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with HandyX.
