These LocalKid Global Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service” or the “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the User (defined below) of the Platform (defined below) (“you” or “your”) and TeenGig Corp dba LocalKid (together with its Affiliates (defined below), “LocalKid”, “we”, “us” or “our”) governing your use of LocalKid’s websites (including www.local-kid.com, www.localkid.ca, and any other regional domains) (together, the “Sites”), mobile applications (together, the “Apps”), and related services, information and communications (collectively referred to herein as the “Platform” or the “LocalKid Platform”).

The use of all personal data you submit to the Platform or which we collect about you is governed by our Global Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”).

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the LocalKid Safety Pledge (the “Safety Pledge”) for the country in which the Task is performed (which are each incorporated by reference, and referred to collectively, herein as the “Agreement”), govern your access to and use of the Platform.

FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN USERS, SECTION 24 CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT DISPUTES AND CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST LOCALKID TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION.

BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND OR ACCESSING AND USING THE PLATFORM, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION THE AGREEMENT INCLUDING ALL TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT AND ABIDE BY ITS TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.

The Platform is an online web and app based two sided marketplace which enables connections between Clients and Taskers. “Client(s)” are individuals and or businesses seeking to obtain short term services (“Task(s)”), and “Tasker(s)” are businesses seeking to perform Tasks for Clients. Clients and Taskers are referred to herein together as “User(s)”.

Taskers are independent business owners, providing services under their own name or business name (and not under LocalKid’s name), using their own tools and supplies. Taskers choose the applicable rates for Tasks, without deduction by LocalKid. Taskers may (a) maintain a clientele without any restrictions from LocalKid; (b) offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms; and (c) accept or reject Clients and Service Agreements (defined below). Taskers are independent contractors of Clients, and Clients are therefore clients of Taskers, not LocalKid.

Any reference to a Tasker being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or being “badged”, “reliable”, “reliability rate”, “elite”, “great value”, “background checked”, “vetted” (or similar language) indicates only that the Tasker has completed a relevant user account registration process or met certain criteria and does not, and shall not be deemed to, represent anything else. Any such description is intended only as useful information for Clients. It is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by LocalKid.

The Platform is not an employment agency service or business, and LocalKid is not an employer of any User. Users are not employees, partners, representatives, agents, joint venturers, independent contractors or franchisees of LocalKid.

Users hereby acknowledge and agree that LocalKid does not:

Perform Tasks nor employ individuals to perform Tasks.
Supervise, scope, direct, control or monitor Taskers’ work.
Provide tools or supplies to Taskers.
Have any control over the quality, timing, legality, or failure to provide Tasks.

Formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create any responsibility or liability for LocalKid.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and LocalKid’s Acceptable Use Policy, LocalKid grants you a limited, non exclusive, non transferable and revocable license to access and use the Platform.

D. User Representations and Warranties

Users represent and warrant that they will comply fully with these Terms, are of legally required age, will act professionally and responsibly, and will comply with all applicable laws.

Clients acknowledge and agree that LocalKid does not provide any insurance coverage for Tasks. Each Client is solely responsible for maintaining appropriate homeowner’s renter’s or other applicable insurance policies covering property damage personal injury or other losses that may arise in connection with any Task. Teens (“Taskers”) are not required to maintain independent insurance policies (but may do so if they so choose in their sole discretion) and are not employees or contractors of LocalKid.

Taskers may be subject to background checks, identity verification, or other reviews.

Clients and Taskers form legally binding agreements (“Service Agreements”) directly with each other when booking Tasks via the Platform. LocalKid is not a party to such agreements.

Taskers may engage assistants only with Client approval. Clients may appoint agents to oversee Tasks.

The terms relevant to fees, invoicing, payments, and cancellation are set out in the Fees, Payments and Cancellation Supplemental Terms.
