Overview

The hallo helper platform is an app and web-based marketplace platform, which enables a person (“client”) looking to hire for a specific service or task help to connect and contract with an independent provider, also referred to as "helper" ("hallo helper, helper, gig worker), for that service. The client and the hallo helper may be referred to as “users”.

Agreements

When a client agrees to use the services of a helper, the client and the user enter into a legally binding contract (“service agreement”, "booking agreement"). The service agreement is between the client and the helper. Helper is not an employee, nor a company hired independent contractor, nor associated in any way with us. Hallo does not perform nor supervise the helper in their performance of the service. Hence, hallo is not responsible for the service. Hallo expressly disclaims any responsibility and liability for the work performed and the service in any manner, including all possible warranties. Hallo is only acting as an information sharing service, and, as a limited payment collection agent to facilitate payment for the services.

Liabilities and Restrictions

In order to use the platform and engage in a service agreement or booking, you must be 18 years or older or at least the age of majority in your country of residence and you must provide your full legal name, current address, valid email address, and any other information requested by us. In the event of a dispute regarding account ownership, we reserve the right to request documentation to determine or confirm account ownership.

We are not a party to, and we are not liable for the booking. All Hallo Helper platform helpers are solely responsible for their services and performance, and must ensure that they are in compliance with any laws or regulations related to it, including without limitation the following:

A client may choose not to be present and assign another person (“client agent”) to be present when the helper is performing the service. The helper will then follow all instructions from client agent as if the direction was given by client him or herself. Any client using a proxy client agent assumes all responsibilities or acts and omissions of the client agent(s), and is responsible with any and all legal obligations.

For example, we may suspend your services if you are violating this agreement.
