1. The Renesent Platform Connects Taskers and Clients
The Renesent Platform is a web-based communications platform which enables connections between Clients and Taskers. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain task services (“Tasks”) from Taskers and are therefore clients of Taskers, and “Taskers” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform Tasks for Clients. Clients 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 CONTRACTORS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURES, OR FRANCHISEES OF COMPANY. COMPANY DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPANY DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A TASKER’S WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR THE WORK PERFORMED OR THE TASKS IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE. The Renesent Platform only enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Tasks. Company 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, Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings provided by Users with respect to each other. Company 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 Renesent Platform, whether in public, private, or offline interactions or otherwise howsoever.
2. User Vetting and User Representations and Warranties
User Vetting
In Company’s sole discretion, Users may be subject to an extensive vetting process before they can register for and during their use of the Renesent Platform, including but not limited to a verification of identity, using third party services as appropriate (“Identity Checks”). Although Company may perform Identity Checks, Company is not required to do so and cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Company cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of Identity Check information or any information provided through the Renesent Platform. 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. Renesent will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Renesent Platform. NEITHER RENESENT NOR ITS PARENTS, AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS, INCLUDING THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, INVESTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, ATTORNEYS, REPRESENTATIVES, INSURERS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY AS “RENESENT AND AFFILIATES”) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE RENESENT PLATFORM AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE RENESENTAND AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE RENESENT PLATFORM.
User Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant that: (1) you are 21 years of age or older and are at least of the legally required age in the jurisdiction in which you reside, and are otherwise capable of entering into binding contracts, and (2) you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that you will so abide. Where you enter into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity and to bind that entity to this Agreement. You further represent and warrant that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, the Happiness Pledge, and the Privacy Policy in order to access and use the Renesent Platform. You hereby warrant and represent that you will respect the privacy (including without limitation private, family and home life), property and data protection rights of Users and that you will not record (whether video or audio or otherwise) any Task or any interaction by or with any User and/or Company in connection with the Renesent Platform without the prior written consent of Company and/or the relevant User, as applicable. You further represent and warrant that you will fulfill the commitments you make to other Users, including paying/receiving payment through the Renesent Platform, performing the Task(s) agreed upon as between the Tasker and Client, communicating clearly and promptly through the chat thread and/or responding to invitations promptly, being present and/or available at the time you agree upon with your Tasker or Client as the case may be, and only utilizing the third party payment processing system specified or approved by us to make or receive payment for services provided through the Renesent Platform. You also represent and warrant that you will act professionally and responsibly in your interactions with other Users. You further represent and warrant that when using or accessing the Renesent Platform, you will act in accordance with any applicable local, state, national, or international law, custom and in good faith. You hereby warrant and represent that, other than as fully and promptly disclosed to Company as set forth below, you do not have any motivation, status, or interest which Company may reasonably wish to know about in connection with the Renesent Platform, including without limitation, if you are using or will or intent to use the Renesent Platform for any journalistic, investigative, or unlawful purpose. You hereby warrant and represent that you will promptly disclose to Company in writing any such motivation, status or interest, whether existing prior to registration or as arises during your use of the Renesent Platform. Taskers additionally represent and warrant that you will provide timely, high-quality services to your Clients, you will only offer and provide services for which you have the necessary skills and expertise, and you will provide the services safely.
3. Contract between Clients and Taskers
You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you agree on the terms of a Task with another User. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Renesent 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, including this Section 3, and do not expand Company’s obligations or restrict Company’s rights under this Agreement. You agree that Company is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Company and the Tasker (or anyone else supplied by the Tasker), nor will it create an employment relationship between the Client and the Tasker or any such person. Company’s role is restricted solely to acting as a limited payment collection agent for the Tasker to facilitate payment on behalf of the Tasker through the Renesent Platform in respect of Tasks they perform. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for particular Tasks on the Renesent Platform, Renesent disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Tasker, and assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Tasker, either within or outside of the Renesent Platform. Where approved in advance by the Client, the Tasker is not obligated to personally perform the Services. Before any Task services are performed by any assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel engaged by the Tasker (collectively “Assistants”), the Tasker shall require any such individuals to become fully registered, oriented and verified Taskers on the Renesent Platform. A Tasker’s failure to comply with this provision by bringing an Assistant who is not a registered Tasker could lead to removal from the Renesent Platform. The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Assistants, including without limitation the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable state and federal income tax withholdings as to the Tasker and all persons engaged by the Tasker in the performance of the Task services. While using the Renesent Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed and/or completed. Clients who elect not to be present when a Task is performed and/or completed agree that if someone other than them (i.e. spouse, roommate, friend, etcetera) is present 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.
The Client shall pay their Tasker directly for completed Task services through the Payment Service Provider retained by the Company (“PSP”) as indicated on the Renesent Platform at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each party agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task. Both parties agree to notify Company of any disputes prior to negotiation of or filing of any claims and to negotiate any dispute informally via Company representatives for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any proceeding. Renesent reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account or Task pending the resolution of any dispute.
4. Billing and Payment
Users of the Renesent Platform contract for Tasks directly with other Users. Company will not be a party to any contracts for Tasks or services. Payment for Task services through the Renesent Platform is made directly from the Client to the Tasker via the PSP, and not by Company. Company is not obligated to pay Tasker for Client’s failure to pay for services. Users of the Renesent Platform will be required to provide their credit card and/or bank account details to Company and the PSP. Taskers are responsible for invoicing their Clients within 24 hours of the work being performed, even if the Task is not completed in its entirety or is designed as “ongoing”. Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Task (the “Invoice”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the Task agreed with and provided by a Tasker (“Task Payment”), (ii) any out of pocket expenses agreed with and submitted by a Tasker in connection with the Task, (iii) any tip or gratuity, if applicable, (iv) the service charge Company assesses as payable for the use of the Renesent Platform, variable based on the Task Payment amount, and (v) the platform fee (sometimes referred to as Trust & Support Fee), which is used to offset Company’s cost of providing Users with customer support, providing the Happiness Pledge set forth in Section 12, and other various business objectives, and (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. Taskers will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees (applicable to Tasker registrants), (ii) cancellation fees, if applicable and (iii) repayment of erroneous payments. Clients may also be charged credit card processing fees equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate expense amount if expenses related to a Task individually, or Tasks in the aggregate over a 30-day period, exceed $300.00. Taskers may be required to register with the PSP, agree to terms of service of the PSP, and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up their account with the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”). 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 Renesent 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 Renesent has no obligations 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, Company and/or the PSP may validate an account before activation. As part of the account validation, a very temporary charge is 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 between $0.01 US to $5000.00 US, depending on the estimated value of the Task and expenses. When Client receives confirmation through the Renesent Platform or via email that a Task has been completed, Client automatically authorizes the PSP to process the Invoice. Users may be charged a one-hour cancellation fee through the PSP if you book (or accept) a Task, but cancel it before the scheduled time for performance. Company reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, upon request from Client or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Renesent 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 for the PSP to do so. Task Payment and fees must be paid through the PSP as indicated on the Renesent Platform, as well as outlined below section EXHIBIT A. Users of the Renesent Platform will be liable for any taxes required to be paid on the Tasks provided under the Agreement. Additional pickup, delivery, and moving services terms and pay are at Exhibit b.
5. Contests, Gift Cards, and Promotional Codes
Company may from time to time provide certain promotional opportunities and contests to Users. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of Company, and can be activated, modified, or removed at any time by Company without advance notification. The liability of any of Company’s corporate partners pursuant to such promotional opportunities and contests shall be limited pursuant to Section 16 of these Terms of Service. Company gift cards (“Gift Cards”) and promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) may be available and can be used to pay Task Payments and Company service charges and platform fees in part or in full, but may not be used to pay for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses or tips associated with a Task provided through the Renesent Platform.
Promo Codes
Promo Codes are an offer by Company to reduce the amount a Client has to pay in relation to a Task Payment, service fee, and/or platform fee. Promo Codes will not affect the amount of the Task Payment a Tasker ultimately receives. You agree that you will use Promo Codes in accordance with the terms of the Promo Code. Company reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code by you or any other User in the event that Company determines or believes that the use or redemption of a Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or this Agreement.
Gift Cards
You agree that you will comply with all Gift Card terms and conditions. Gift Cards are not replaceable if lost or stolen and have no expiration date, but in certain U.S. states, after a period of time, Company may remit the cash associated with unused Gift Card balances to the state pursuant to that state’s abandoned property laws. Once Company has remitted such cash to a state, the Gift Card may no longer be redeemed and Company may direct the Gift Card holder to that state’s government instead. Gift Cards have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash except in the following thirteen U.S. states where it is required by law to the extent noted below: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Montana < USD 5
New Jersey < USD 5
Oregon < USD 5

Company will verify your address, confirm that your Gift Card balance qualifies you for redemption, and send you a check for the exact amount in the envelope provided. If your Gift Card balance is equal to or greater than the cap, or Company can’t verify your residency, Company will return your Gift Card in the envelope provided. Company will be unable to redeem or return your Gift Card without a self-addressed, stamped envelope and is not responsible for mail that doesn’t arrive at the address provided and cannot guarantee delivery in any way after submittal to the US Postal Service. A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Cards, gift certificates or other Promo Codes. A Gift Card cannot be used as a credit or debit card. Company reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity and to cancel a Gift Card if it believes that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. You cannot “reload” a Gift Card (i.e., you cannot add value/balance to your Gift Card at this time). If a Gift Card holder’s purchase exceeds the amount of that Gift Card balance, the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another means. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable. Company reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if Company believes that a billing error has occurred. Company disclaims all liability for any such billing errors. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement, and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof.

Each Tasker acknowledges that Renesent shall not owe any financial or other remuneration for using the recordings provided hereunder by such Tasker, either for initial or subsequent transmission or playback, and further acknowledges that Renesent is not responsible for any expense or liability incurred as a result of such Tasker’s recordings or participation in any recordings, including any loss of such recording data.
10. Links to Third-Party Websites
The Renesent Platform may contain links (such as hyperlinks) to third-party websites. Such links do not constitute endorsement by Company or association with those websites, their content or their operators. Such links (including without limitation external websites that are framed by the Renesent Platform as well as any advertisements displayed in connection therewith) are provided as an information service, for reference and convenience only. Company does not control any such websites, and is not responsible for their (i) availability or accuracy, or (ii) content, advertising, products, or services. It is your responsibility to evaluate the content and usefulness of the information obtained from other websites. You acknowledge and agree that Renesent is not involved in the creation or development of third-party websites and disclaims any responsibility for third-party websites, and cannot be liable for claims arising out of or relating to third-party websites. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Renesent has no obligation to monitor, review, or remove links to third-party websites, but reserves the right to limit or remove links to third-party websites on the Renesent platform at its sole discretion. The use of any website controlled, owned or operated by third parties is governed by the terms and conditions of use and privacy policies for those websites. You access such third-party websites at your own risk. Renesent expressly disclaims any liability arising in connection with your use and/or viewing of any websites or other material associated with links that may appear on the Renesent Platform. You hereby agree to hold Renesent harmless from any liability that may result from the use of links that may appear on the Renesent Platform. As part of the functionality of the Renesent Platform, you may link your account with online accounts you may have with third party service providers (such as Facebook) (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”) by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information through the Renesent Platform; or (ii) allowing Renesent to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Renesent and/or grant Renesent access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Renesent to pay any fees or making Renesent subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting Renesent access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that (i) Renesent may access, make available and store (if applicable) any content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (the “SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Renesent Platform via your account, including without limitation any friend lists, and (ii) Renesent may submit and receive additional information to your Third-Party Account to the extent you are notified of this when you link your account with the Third-Party Account. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Service, all SNS Content, if any, shall be considered to be User Generated Content. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose, and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your account on the Renesent Platform. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Renesent’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content may no longer be available on and through the Renesent Platform. You will have the ability to disable the connection between your account on the Renesent Platform and your Third-Party Accounts at any time, as set forth below. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. Company makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality, or non-infringement, and Company is not responsible for any SNS Content.
11. Worker Classification and Withholdings
AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 1, Renesent DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. Each User assumes all liability for proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable legal guidelines.
Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of Company. Each User acknowledges that Renesent does not, in any way, supervise, scope, direct, control or monitor a Tasker’s work or Tasks performed in any manner. Company does not set a Tasker’s work hours or location of work. Renesent will not provide any equipment, labor or materials needed for a particular Task. Renesent does not provide any supervision to Users. The Renesent Platform is not an employment service and Renesent is not an employer of any User. As such, Renesent is not responsible for and will not be liable for workman’s compensation or any tax payments or withholding, including but not limited to unemployment insurance, social security, disability insurance or any other applicable federal or state withholdings in connection with a User’s use of the Renesent Platform.
12. Renesent Happiness Pledge
The Renesent Happiness Pledge is part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference. Taskers determine what categories they are qualified to task in, and scope the Task directly with their Client. Renesent does not oversee, monitor or direct how a Tasker performs a Task, does not monitor Tasks or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise oversee or assume responsibility for the actions of Users. Clients are advised to confirm with their Tasker that their Tasker is qualified to perform the Task prior to the Task taking place. Renesent is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does Renesent provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, Renesent wants Users to be happy about their experience using the Renesent Platform and the Happiness Pledge is in place to encourage continued use of the Renesent Platform. Payments made under the Happiness Pledge are entirely discretionary, however, and subject to certain conditions, limitations and exclusions, as described in the Renesent Happiness Pledge. The Happiness Pledge does not supercede any of the terms set forth in the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, including any of the limitations on liability set forth in Section 16 of these Terms of Service. In the unlikely event of a conflict with the Happiness Pledge, this Agreement prevails over any contrary interpretation of the Happiness Pledge. The Renesent Happiness Pledge is not intended to be any sort of insurance and Renesent is not an insurer, as such terms are understood for regulatory purposes.

The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all of Renesent’s trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information, and all other information and data of Renesent that is not generally known to the public or other third parties who could derive value, economic or otherwise, from its use or disclosure. Confidential Information shall be deemed to include technical data, know-how, research, product plans, products, services, customers, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, strategic and other proprietary and confidential information relating to Renesent or Renesent’s business, operations or properties, including information about Renesent’s staff, Users or partners, or other business information disclosed directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation.

As with the purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any environment, you should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, Renesent and Affiliates do not warrant that access to the Renesent Platform will be uninterrupted or that the Renesent Platform will be error-free; nor do they make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Renesent Platform, or as to the timeliness, accuracy, reliability, completeness or content of any Task, service, information or materials provided through or in connection with the use of the Renesent Platform.

Renesent and Affiliates cannot and do not guarantee that any personal information supplied by you will not be misappropriated, intercepted, deleted, destroyed or used by others. Notwithstanding any feature a Client may use to expedite Renesent selection, each Client is responsible for determining the Task and selecting their Tasker and Renesent does not warrant any goods or services purchased by a Client and does not recommend any particular Tasker. Renesent does not provide any warranties or guarantees regarding any Tasker’s professional accreditation, registration or license. In addition, no individual or entity shall be a third party beneficiary of these terms. These terms are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and are not intended to and shall not be construed to give any person or entity other than you any interest, remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or any other rights (including, without limitation, any third party beneficiary rights), with respect to or in connection with any agreement or provision contained herein or contemplated hereby.
(b) No Liability
You acknowledge and agree that Renesent is only willing to provide the Renesent Platform if you agree to certain limitations of our liability to you and third parties. Therefore, you agree not to hold Renesent and Affiliates, or their corporate partners, liable for any claims, demands, damages, expenses, losses, governmental obligations, suits, and/or controversies of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, direct, indirect, incidental, actual, consequential, economic, special, or exemplary, including attorneys fees and costs (collectively, “liabilities”) that have arisen or may arise, relating to your or any other party’s use of or inability to use the Renesent Platform, including without limitation any liabilities arising in connection with the conduct, act or omission of any User (including without limitation stalking, harassment that is sexual or otherwise, acts of physical violence, and destruction of personal property), any dispute with any User, any instruction, advice, act, or service provided by Renesent and Affiliates and any destruction of your User Generated Content.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL RENESENTAND AFFILIATES OR THEIR CORPORATE PARTNERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, ECONOMIC, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, SYSTEM FAILURE, FAILURE TO STORE ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER CONTENT MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED BY RENESENT, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES) ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE RENESENT PLATFORM OR THE TASK SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
Renesent AND AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN USERS OF ITS RENESENT PLATFORM. RENESENT AND AFFILIATES ALSO DO NOT ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY OR FITNESS OF ANY WORK PERFORMED VIA THE RENSENT PLATFORM. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS, IT IS DETERMINED THAT RENESENTAND AFFILIATES OR THEIR CORPORATE PARTNERS ARE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO COMPANY DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE TIME SUCH CLAIM AROSE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so certain aspects of the limitations above may not apply to you.
(c) Release
THE RENESENT PLATFORM IS ONLY A VENUE FOR CONNECTING USERS. BECAUSE RENESENT IS NOT A PARTY TO OR OTHERWISE INVOLVED IN THE ACTUAL CONTRACT BETWEEN USERS OR IN THE COMPLETION OF THE TASK, IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ONE OR MORE USERS, YOU HEREBY RELEASE RENESENT AND AFFILIATES AND THEIR CORPORATE PARTNERS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES (INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, ECONOMIC, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY), EXPENSES, LOSSES, GOVERNMENTAL OBLIGATIONS, SUITS AND/OR CONTROVERSIES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTE. TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE PROTECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542 (AND ANY ANALOGOUS LAW IN ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION) WHICH READS AS FOLLOWS: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
17. Indemnification
You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Renesent and Affiliates, and their attorneys, insurers, independent contractors, providers, successors and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities incurred in connection with (i) your use or inability to use the Renesent Platform or Task Services, or (ii) your breach or violation of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any law, or the rights of any User or third party and (iv) any content submitted by you or using your account to the Renesent Platform, including, but not limited to the extent such content may infringe on the intellectual rights of a third party or otherwise be illegal or unlawful. You also agree to to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Liabilities resulting from your use of software robots, spiders, crawlers, or similar data gathering and extraction tools, or any other action you take that imposes an unreasonable burden or loan on our infrastructure. Renesent reserves the right, in its own sole discretion, to assume the exclusive defense and control at its own expense of any matter otherwise subject to your indemnification. You will not, in any event, settle any claim or matter without the prior written consent of Renesent.
18. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND RENESENT CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND RENESENT TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
(a) Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim between you and Renesent (each a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), you and Renesent agree to first attempt to negotiate any Claim (except those Claims expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration. This pre-arbitration negotiation shall be initiated by providing written notice to the other party—including a brief written statement describing the name, address, and contact information of the notifying party, the facts giving rise to the Claim, and the relief requested. You must send such written notice to Renesent, Inc., 514 N. California Ave. Beaumont CA 92223 Attention: Legal. If necessary to preserve a Claim under any applicable statute of limitations, you or Renesent may initiate arbitration while engaging in the informal negotiations. During this pre-arbitration negotiation, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties. After a good faith effort to negotiate, if you or Renesent believe a Claim cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party, as specified in the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”).
(b) Agreement to Binding Arbitration
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BENEFITS OF THE SPEEDY, ECONOMICAL, AND IMPARTIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND Renesent MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU (EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED BELOW) IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
This agreement to arbitrate contained in this Section 18 (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives the termination of this Agreement and your relationship with Company. Claims covered by this Arbitration Agreement include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy whether based on past, present or future events arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof); the Renesent Platform, services, or Tasks; your relationship with Renesent; the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User Account or this Agreement; payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you; any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law; compensation, breaks and rests periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, trade secrets, unfair competition, emotional distress; any promotions or offers made by Company; breach of any express or implied contract or breach of any express or implied covenant; claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws; claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; and claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Company and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters; and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. If there is a dispute about the arbitrability of any Claim (including questions about the scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement), you and Renesent agree that this threshold dispute shall be delegated to the arbitrator (not a court) and that the arbitrator shall have initial authority to resolve such threshold disputes, except as expressly provided below.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND RENESENT ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, UNLESS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF EVERY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THAT CAN LAWFULLY BE ARBITRATED, EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WHICH BY THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE.
(c) Agreement Prohibiting Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and Renesent agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Renesent and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND RENESENT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). Further, unless both you and Renesent 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. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Class Action Waiver shall not apply to Private Attorney General Act Claims brought against Company, which are addressed separately in Section 18(d) below.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules (as defined below), disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (i) the Claim is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (ii) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, then those Claims shall be severed from any remaining Claims and may remain in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.
(d) Representative PAGA Waiver
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, to the fullest extent allowed by law: (1) you and Renesent agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under PAGA, both you and Company agree that any such Claim shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “Representative PAGA Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of this representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the parties agree that court litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
(e) Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration
The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the AAA Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement, and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. You and Renesent agree that the arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA. As part of the arbitration, both you and Company will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim(s). The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision, which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all Claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules) subject to the following modifications:
(i) If Company initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, Company will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees.
(ii) If a Client or Tasker files a Claim in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the associated claim for damages does not exceed USD $10,000, Company will pay all AAA filing and arbitration 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)).
(iii) If a Client or Tasker files a Claim in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the associated claim for damages exceeds USD $10,000, Company shall pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court), including the regular and customary arbitration fees and expenses, and the Client or Tasker shall be responsible for contributing up to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which they provide Services to Clients, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you as required by law or the applicable AAA Rules. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, however, then the allocation of fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules.
(iv) Except as required by law or the applicable AAA Rules, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and pay any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the Claim(s) were litigated in a court, such as costs to subpoena witnesses and/or documents, take depositions and purchase deposition transcripts, copy documents, etc.).
(v) At the conclusion of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to the prevailing party, to the extent authorized by applicable law or the applicable AAA Rules.
Unless you and Company agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Company and a Tasker will take place in the county of your billing address, and any arbitration hearings between Company and a Client will take place in the county in which you received Task services. If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a AAA arbitration.
(f) Exceptions to Arbitration
The following types of Claims may be, but are not required to be, arbitrated under the Arbitration Agreement:
Claims for workers’ compensation, disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits;
Small claims actions that are within the scope of small claims court jurisdiction and brought on an individual basis;
Applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders, including those relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights;
A representative action brought on behalf of others under PAGA or other private attorney general acts, to the extent the representative PAGA Waiver in Section 18(d) is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction; and
Claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of general law not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. However, you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint and instead may seek such relief only through arbitration under this Agreement. This Agreement and Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from participating in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision and do not prevent you from receiving an award for information provided to any government agencies.
(g) Severability
Except as otherwise provided in the severability provisions in Sections 18(c) and 18(d) above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
(h) Right to Opt Out of Arbitration Agreement

EXHIBIT B
Pick-up, Delivery and Moving Services
The Renesent Service additionally uses its mobile site platform to connect persons seeking help with the relocation, messengering, moving or delivery of personal items (“Users”) with persons who are willing and able to use their vehicle to drive the items and assist the User with the
moving and delivery of such personal items to their final destination (“Haulers”). For purposes of these Terms of Use, these moving services shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Services.”
The Company does not itself, nor will it provide the transportation or moving services for the Users. Instead, the Company works to connect Users with Haulers, as appropriate. After the Company has matched a User with a Hauler, the User must decide whether or not to accept the Services from the Hauler contacted through the Renesent Service, and the Hauler must decide whether or not to offer to provide the Services as requested through the Renesent Service. Such decisions are made in the User’s or Hauler’s sole discretion. The Company offers the Renesent Service to match Users and Haulers, but does not nor does it intend to provide the Services, and, as such, has no liability for any Services provided to any User by any Hauler using the Renesent Service.
Payments and Pricing
All payments are due immediately following completion of the Services and will be facilitated by the Company and our third-party payment processing service using the User’s preferred payment method designated in his or her account. The Company will receive a commission of 35% from each payment for the Service, as well as a flat cargo insurance fee of $2.50 per Service. The remainder of the payment is then transferred to the applicable Hauler’s account. All payments made are non-refundable. In the event that a User cancels a request for Service 48 hours prior to reservation date made on the Renesent Service, the User will be charged a $25 fee. All pricing will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to change pricing, including the commission percentage, at any time and from time to time without advance notice. The Company may, at its sole discretion, offer promotions and discounts to any Users or Haulers, but has no obligation to do so. All payments will be processed using third-party payment service. All payments to a Hauler will be made via direct deposit to the checking or savings account specified in the Hauler’s account settings. The Company does not handle the collection of payments and therefore will have no liability to you relating to payment processing.
Section 1. Representations and Warranties of Haulers

Hauler is at least 21 years old.

3. Contract between Clients and Taskers
You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you agree on the terms of a Task with another User. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Renesent 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, including this Section 3, and do not expand Company’s obligations or restrict Company’s rights under this Agreement. You agree that Company is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Company and the Tasker (or anyone else supplied by the Tasker), nor will it create an employment relationship between the Client and the Tasker or any such person. Company’s role is restricted solely to acting as a limited payment collection agent for the Tasker to facilitate payment on behalf of the Tasker through the Renesent Platform in respect of Tasks they perform. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for particular Tasks on the Renesent Platform, Renesent disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Tasker, and assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Tasker, either within or outside of the Renesent Platform. Where approved in advance by the Client, the Tasker is not obligated to personally perform the Services. Before any Task services are performed by any assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel engaged by the Tasker (collectively “Assistants”), the Tasker shall require any such individuals to become fully registered, oriented and verified Taskers on the Renesent Platform. A Tasker’s failure to comply with this provision by bringing an Assistant who is not a registered Tasker could lead to removal from the Renesent Platform. The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Assistants, including without limitation the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable state and federal income tax withholdings as to the Tasker and all persons engaged by the Tasker in the performance of the Task services. While using the Renesent Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed and/or completed. Clients who elect not to be present when a Task is performed and/or completed agree that if someone other than them (i.e. spouse, roommate, friend, etcetera) is present 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.
The Client shall pay their Tasker directly for completed Task services through the Payment Service Provider retained by the Company (“PSP”) as indicated on the Renesent Platform at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each party agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task. Both parties agree to notify Company of any disputes prior to negotiation of or filing of any claims and to negotiate any dispute informally via Company representatives for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any proceeding. Renesent reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account or Task pending the resolution of any dispute.
4. Billing and Payment
Users of the Renesent Platform contract for Tasks directly with other Users. Company will not be a party to any contracts for Tasks or services. Payment for Task services through the Renesent Platform is made directly from the Client to the Tasker via the PSP, and not by Company. Company is not obligated to pay Tasker for Client’s failure to pay for services. Users of the Renesent Platform will be required to provide their credit card and/or bank account details to Company and the PSP. Taskers are responsible for invoicing their Clients within 24 hours of the work being performed, even if the Task is not completed in its entirety or is designed as “ongoing”. Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Task (the “Invoice”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the Task agreed with and provided by a Tasker (“Task Payment”), (ii) any out of pocket expenses agreed with and submitted by a Tasker in connection with the Task, (iii) any tip or gratuity, if applicable, (iv) the service charge Company assesses as payable for the use of the Renesent Platform, variable based on the Task Payment amount, and (v) the platform fee (sometimes referred to as Trust & Support Fee), which is used to offset Company’s cost of providing Users with customer support, providing the Happiness Pledge set forth in Section 12, and other various business objectives, and (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. Taskers will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees (applicable to Tasker registrants), (ii) cancellation fees, if applicable and (iii) repayment of erroneous payments. Clients may also be charged credit card processing fees equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate expense amount if expenses related to a Task individually, or Tasks in the aggregate over a 30-day period, exceed $300.00. Taskers may be required to register with the PSP, agree to terms of service of the PSP, and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up their account with the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”). 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 Renesent 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 Renesent has no obligations 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, Company and/or the PSP may validate an account before activation. As part of the account validation, a very temporary charge is 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 between $0.01 US to $5000.00 US, depending on the estimated value of the Task and expenses. When Client receives confirmation through the Renesent Platform or via email that a Task has been completed, Client automatically authorizes the PSP to process the Invoice. Users may be charged a one-hour cancellation fee through the PSP if you book (or accept) a Task, but cancel it before the scheduled time for performance. Company reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, upon request from Client or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Renesent 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 for the PSP to do so. Task Payment and fees must be paid through the PSP as indicated on the Renesent Platform, as well as outlined below section EXHIBIT A. Users of the Renesent Platform will be liable for any taxes required to be paid on the Tasks provided under the Agreement. Additional pickup, delivery, and moving services terms and pay are at Exhibit b.
5. Contests, Gift Cards, and Promotional Codes
Company may from time to time provide certain promotional opportunities and contests to Users. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of Company, and can be activated, modified, or removed at any time by Company without advance notification. The liability of any of Company’s corporate partners pursuant to such promotional opportunities and contests shall be limited pursuant to Section 16 of these Terms of Service. Company gift cards (“Gift Cards”) and promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) may be available and can be used to pay Task Payments and Company service charges and platform fees in part or in full, but may not be used to pay for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses or tips associated with a Task provided through the Renesent Platform.
Promo Codes
Promo Codes are an offer by Company to reduce the amount a Client has to pay in relation to a Task Payment, service fee, and/or platform fee. Promo Codes will not affect the amount of the Task Payment a Tasker ultimately receives. You agree that you will use Promo Codes in accordance with the terms of the Promo Code. Company reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code by you or any other User in the event that Company determines or believes that the use or redemption of a Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or this Agreement.
Gift Cards
You agree that you will comply with all Gift Card terms and conditions. Gift Cards are not replaceable if lost or stolen and have no expiration date, but in certain U.S. states, after a period of time, Company may remit the cash associated with unused Gift Card balances to the state pursuant to that state’s abandoned property laws. Once Company has remitted such cash to a state, the Gift Card may no longer be redeemed and Company may direct the Gift Card holder to that state’s government instead. Gift Cards have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash except in the following thirteen U.S. states where it is required by law to the extent noted below: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Montana < USD 5
New Jersey < USD 5
Oregon < USD 5
Rhode Island < USD 1

Company will verify your address, confirm that your Gift Card balance qualifies you for redemption, and send you a check for the exact amount in the envelope provided. If your Gift Card balance is equal to or greater than the cap, or Company can’t verify your residency, Company will return your Gift Card in the envelope provided. Company will be unable to redeem or return your Gift Card without a self-addressed, stamped envelope and is not responsible for mail that doesn’t arrive at the address provided and cannot guarantee delivery in any way after submittal to the US Postal Service. A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Cards, gift certificates or other Promo Codes. A Gift Card cannot be used as a credit or debit card. Company reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity and to cancel a Gift Card if it believes that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. You cannot “reload” a Gift Card (i.e., you cannot add value/balance to your Gift Card at this time). If a Gift Card holder’s purchase exceeds the amount of that Gift Card balance, the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another means. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable. Company reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if Company believes that a billing error has occurred. Company disclaims all liability for any such billing errors. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement, and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof.

Each Tasker who provides to Company any videotape, film, recording, photograph, voice, or all related instrumental, musical, or other sound effects, in exchange for the right to use the Renesent Platform, hereby irrevocably grants to Company the non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, unrestricted, and perpetual right to:

You will have the ability to disable the connection between your account on the Renesent Platform and your Third-Party Accounts at any time, as set forth below. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

11. Worker Classification and Withholdings
AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 1, Renesent DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS. Each User assumes all liability for proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable legal guidelines.
Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of Company. Each User acknowledges that Renesent does not, in any way, supervise, scope, direct, control or monitor a Tasker’s work or Tasks performed in any manner. Company does not set a Tasker’s work hours or location of work. Renesent will not provide any equipment, labor or materials needed for a particular Task. Renesent does not provide any supervision to Users. The Renesent Platform is not an employment service and Renesent is not an employer of any User. As such, Renesent is not responsible for and will not be liable for workman’s compensation or any tax payments or withholding, including but not limited to unemployment insurance, social security, disability insurance or any other applicable federal or state withholdings in connection with a User’s use of the Renesent Platform.
12. Renesent Happiness Pledge
The Renesent Happiness Pledge is part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference. Taskers determine what categories they are qualified to task in, and scope the Task directly with their Client. Renesent does not oversee, monitor or direct how a Tasker performs a Task, does not monitor Tasks or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise oversee or assume responsibility for the actions of Users. Clients are advised to confirm with their Tasker that their Tasker is qualified to perform the Task prior to the Task taking place. Renesent is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does Renesent provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, Renesent wants Users to be happy about their experience using the Renesent Platform and the Happiness Pledge is in place to encourage continued use of the Renesent Platform. Payments made under the Happiness Pledge are entirely discretionary, however, and subject to certain conditions, limitations and exclusions, as described in the Renesent Happiness Pledge. The Happiness Pledge does not supercede any of the terms set forth in the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, including any of the limitations on liability set forth in Section 16 of these Terms of Service. In the unlikely event of a conflict with the Happiness Pledge, this Agreement prevails over any contrary interpretation of the Happiness Pledge. The Renesent Happiness Pledge is not intended to be any sort of insurance and Renesent is not an insurer, as such terms are understood for regulatory purposes.

18. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND RENESENT CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND RENESENT TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
(a) Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim between you and Renesent (each a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), you and Renesent agree to first attempt to negotiate any Claim (except those Claims expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration. This pre-arbitration negotiation shall be initiated by providing written notice to the other party—including a brief written statement describing the name, address, and contact information of the notifying party, the facts giving rise to the Claim, and the relief requested. You must send such written notice to Renesent, Inc., 514 N. California Ave. Beaumont CA 92223 Attention: Legal. If necessary to preserve a Claim under any applicable statute of limitations, you or Renesent may initiate arbitration while engaging in the informal negotiations. During this pre-arbitration negotiation, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties. After a good faith effort to negotiate, if you or Renesent believe a Claim cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party, as specified in the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”).
(b) Agreement to Binding Arbitration
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BENEFITS OF THE SPEEDY, ECONOMICAL, AND IMPARTIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND Renesent MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU (EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED BELOW) IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
This agreement to arbitrate contained in this Section 18 (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives the termination of this Agreement and your relationship with Company. Claims covered by this Arbitration Agreement include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy whether based on past, present or future events arising out of or relating to: this Agreement and prior versions (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof); the Renesent Platform, services, or Tasks; your relationship with Renesent; the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation or termination of your User Account or this Agreement; payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you; any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law; compensation, breaks and rests periods, expense reimbursement, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, fraud, defamation, trade secrets, unfair competition, emotional distress; any promotions or offers made by Company; breach of any express or implied contract or breach of any express or implied covenant; claims arising under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws; claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act; and claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by Company and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters; and all other federal and state statutory and common law claims. If there is a dispute about the arbitrability of any Claim (including questions about the scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement), you and Renesent agree that this threshold dispute shall be delegated to the arbitrator (not a court) and that the arbitrator shall have initial authority to resolve such threshold disputes, except as expressly provided below.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND RENESENT ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, UNLESS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF EVERY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THAT CAN LAWFULLY BE ARBITRATED, EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WHICH BY THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE.
(c) Agreement Prohibiting Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and Renesent agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Renesent and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND RENESENT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). Further, unless both you and Renesent 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. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Class Action Waiver shall not apply to Private Attorney General Act Claims brought against Company, which are addressed separately in Section 18(d) below.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules (as defined below), disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (i) the Claim is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (ii) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, then those Claims shall be severed from any remaining Claims and may remain in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.
(d) Representative PAGA Waiver
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, to the fullest extent allowed by law: (1) you and Renesent agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under PAGA, both you and Company agree that any such Claim shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “Representative PAGA Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of this representative PAGA Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative PAGA Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative PAGA or other representative private attorneys general act Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative PAGA Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the parties agree that court litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
(e) Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration
The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the AAA Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement, and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. You and Renesent agree that the arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA. As part of the arbitration, both you and Company will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim(s). The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision, which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all Claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules) subject to the following modifications:
(i) If Company initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, Company will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees.
(ii) If a Client or Tasker files a Claim in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the associated claim for damages does not exceed USD $10,000, Company will pay all AAA filing and arbitration 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)).
(iii) If a Client or Tasker files a Claim in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and the associated claim for damages exceeds USD $10,000, Company shall pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court), including the regular and customary arbitration fees and expenses, and the Client or Tasker shall be responsible for contributing up to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which they provide Services to Clients, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you as required by law or the applicable AAA Rules. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, however, then the allocation of fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules.
(iv) Except as required by law or the applicable AAA Rules, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and pay any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the Claim(s) were litigated in a court, such as costs to subpoena witnesses and/or documents, take depositions and purchase deposition transcripts, copy documents, etc.).
(v) At the conclusion of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to the prevailing party, to the extent authorized by applicable law or the applicable AAA Rules.
Unless you and Company agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Company and a Tasker will take place in the county of your billing address, and any arbitration hearings between Company and a Client will take place in the county in which you received Task services. If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a AAA arbitration.
(f) Exceptions to Arbitration
The following types of Claims may be, but are not required to be, arbitrated under the Arbitration Agreement:
Claims for workers’ compensation, disability insurance and unemployment insurance benefits;
Small claims actions that are within the scope of small claims court jurisdiction and brought on an individual basis;
Applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders, including those relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights;
A representative action brought on behalf of others under PAGA or other private attorney general acts, to the extent the representative PAGA Waiver in Section 18(d) is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction; and
Claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of general law not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or similar local, state or federal agency, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. However, you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint and instead may seek such relief only through arbitration under this Agreement. This Agreement and Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from participating in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Provision and do not prevent you from receiving an award for information provided to any government agencies.
(g) Severability
Except as otherwise provided in the severability provisions in Sections 18(c) and 18(d) above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
(h) Right to Opt Out of Arbitration Agreement
If you are a Tasker, you may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by notifying Company in writing within thirty (30) days of your agreement to these Terms of Service. To opt out, you must send a written notification to Company at Renesent, Inc., 514 N. California Ave. Beaumont CA 92223 Attention: Legal, that includes (a) your account username, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address, and (f) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out of the above arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provisions.
19. Governing Law
Except as provided in Section 18 or expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement and your use of the Renesent Platform will be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of California, without regard to choice of law principles. This choice of law provision is only intended to specify the use of California law to interpret this Agreement and is not intended to create any substantive right to non-Delawarninans to assert claims under California law whether by statute, common law, or otherwise.
20. No Agency; No Employment
No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
21. General Provisions
Failure by Company to enforce any provision(s) of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Company with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes and governs any and all prior agreements or communications. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be interpreted in a manner which makes them valid, legal, and enforceable. Except for the “Agreement Prohibiting Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” in Section 18, in the event any provision is found to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (1) such provision shall be modified or restructured to the extent and in the manner necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable or, (2) if such provision cannot be so modified or restructured, it shall be excised from the Agreement without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by you without our prior written approval. We may assign or transfer this Agreement without your consent, including but not limited to assignments: (i) to a parent or subsidiary, (ii) to an acquirer of assets, or (iii) to any other successor or acquirer. Any assignment in violation of this Section 21 shall be null and void. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of Company, its successors and assigns.
22. Licensing
Taskers alone are responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations before offering services and undertaking Tasks. Indeed, certain types of Tasks and services may be prohibited altogether, and it is the responsibility of Taskers to avoid such prohibited Tasks and services. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Tasks and services on the platform, you can and should first seek separate legal guidance.
Because Renesent does not oversee, monitor or supervise the posting, scoping or performance of Tasks, Clients must determine for themselves whether a Tasker is qualified to perform the specific Task at hand. Clients may wish to consult their state or local requirements to determine whether certain Tasks are required to be performed by a licensed professional.
23. Changes to this Agreement and the Renesent Platform
Company reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, add to, supplement, suspend, discontinue, or delete any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Happiness Pledge) and review, improve, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Renesent Platform or any content or information through the Renesent Platform at any time, effective with or without prior notice and without any liability to Company.

Pick-up, Delivery and Moving Services
The Renesent Service additionally uses its mobile site platform to connect persons seeking help with the relocation, messengering, moving or delivery of personal items (“Users”) with persons who are willing and able to use their vehicle to drive the items and assist the User with the
moving and delivery of such personal items to their final destination (“Haulers”). For purposes of these Terms of Use, these moving services shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Services.”
The Company does not itself, nor will it provide the transportation or moving services for the Users. Instead, the Company works to connect Users with Haulers, as appropriate. After the Company has matched a User with a Hauler, the User must decide whether or not to accept the Services from the Hauler contacted through the Renesent Service, and the Hauler must decide whether or not to offer to provide the Services as requested through the Renesent Service. Such decisions are made in the User’s or Hauler’s sole discretion. The Company offers the Renesent Service to match Users and Haulers, but does not nor does it intend to provide the Services, and, as such, has no liability for any Services provided to any User by any Hauler using the Renesent Service.
Payments and Pricing
All payments are due immediately following completion of the Services and will be facilitated by the Company and our third-party payment processing service using the User’s preferred payment method designated in his or her account. The Company will receive a commission of 35% from each payment for the Service, as well as a flat cargo insurance fee of $2.50 per Service. The remainder of the payment is then transferred to the applicable Hauler’s account. All payments made are non-refundable. In the event that a User cancels a request for Service 48 hours prior to reservation date made on the Renesent Service, the User will be charged a $25 fee. All pricing will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to change pricing, including the commission percentage, at any time and from time to time without advance notice. The Company may, at its sole discretion, offer promotions and discounts to any Users or Haulers, but has no obligation to do so. All payments will be processed using third-party payment service. All payments to a Hauler will be made via direct deposit to the checking or savings account specified in the Hauler’s account settings. The Company does not handle the collection of payments and therefore will have no liability to you relating to payment processing.
