Welcome to Hallo Helper’s updated terms of service! In these highlighted boxes, you'll find our plain-english terms of service. This part isn’t legally binding, so please use this column only as an aid when reviewing the legal language.

• We allow you to link your account platform to other accounts like facebook, instagram, google. They have their own terms of service, which you agree to outside of Hallo Helper. Please read their terms carefully before agreeing.

• We are the platform that makes it easy for you to get on-demand services. Think of us as your market space where service providers come in to offer their services, and customers like you come in to hire them.

All active service providers aka "Helpers" have completed our proprietary vetting and security verification process before activation. See what we check for here.

But, as a peer-to-peer platform, we can't provide any guarantee for anything past that. That includes insuring any service provider you hire on our platform.

• Helpers are their own boss, not our employees. Just like you, the customer, decide who you want to hire, not us.

We make it easy for Helpers to get hired by you on-demand by giving you all the information you need to choose the one that's right for what you need done.

As a customer, Hallo gives you more power over what and how you can get local services!

Having said that, a friendly reminder...

User obligations while using our platform—

Respect each user roles

Hallo is an online marketplace that allows individual service providers to offer and advertise their services to on-demand customers upon successful completion of account activation requirements. Any natural persons contacting you and contracting with you by using your hallo account, its pages, features, or content created by you on our platform are deemed your “client.” hallo does not have a direct relationship with any of your clients, therefore hallo is not responsible for how you handle client’s information.

Follow applicable laws

You may have additional obligations under local law other than those described in this terms of service, particularly if you or your client are located outside of the united states. Such obligations may be more restrictive than this terms of service. Use of the services does not ensure compliance with such laws, nor is hallo responsible for your compliance with such laws. To the extent hallo has any obligations to assist you with handling client’s information, such obligations are enumerated within a data processing agreement executed between hallò and you.

Follow user security safeguards

You will use all reasonable efforts to protect the information collected from clients via your use of the platform, including any personal information obtained from unauthorized access or use. In the event you discover that the client information collected by you has been breached, compromised, or inadvertently exposed to non-authorized third parties, you shall notify hallo promptly of such a breach or exposure including the root cause, remediation steps, and compensating controls to ensure such a breach does not occur in the future.

Security notification

Your notice and consent must be compliant with all applicable data protection and security laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, before collecting or using any client information, you must provide adequate notice of the client information you collect, how it will be used and/or shared, and obtain any necessary consents required under the applicable data protection laws and regulations. You agree to comply with all data protection laws and regulations (including those applying to personal information) in connection with your access and use of the services.

Transparency requirement

You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your use of the platform that complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

Privacy rights

You will respond to any client wishing to exercise their privacy rights, under the applicable law, as it relates to any information collected via your use of the services. For example, if clients located in certain jurisdictions may exercise a “right to be forgotten” (or “erasure”) to the information you have collected about them, you shall comply with their request as required by applicable law. For clarity, you are directly responsible (or, the “data controller”) for the information processed by your use of the platform, including any information processed via third-party applications available on the platform. Hallo is not a data controller to such information and is not responsible for responding to client on your behalf. To the extent hallo receives a request from a client or authority about your use of the platform, hallo will notify you as permitted by law.

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:

As a helper ("service provider"), you are solely responsible for:

• (a) all taxes and fees associated with the booking agreement, including without limitation any sales taxes related to the purchase or sale of services in connection with your services;

• (b) collecting, reporting and remitting required taxes to relevant government authorities;

• (c) informing your clients of required taxes, and providing them with invoices as required by applicable law; you also agree that any tax estimates, reporting or related materials that we may provide via the services are for illustration purposes only, and you may not rely on them to comply with your tax obligations. We do not give tax advice, and nothing we say should be interpreted as such.

• You are solely responsible for fulfilling and delivering your services to your clients.

• You are solely responsible for any claims or warranties you make in connection with your services and any claims made by clients against you.

• You are solely responsible for handling any comments or complaints related to your services, including without limitation any issues related to payments, promotions, refunds or chargebacks.

• You agree to provide accurate and complete contact information on your sites so that your clients can submit comments or complaints to you.

• You are also responsible for complying with any consumer’s best practices along with any and all related laws and regulations that may affect your services.

If you have an assistant that will perform the services, the assistant must create an account as a helper on the Hallo Helper platform and pass all vetting and verification checks. Failure to do so may result in suspension of your account. The helper hired by the client assumes all responsibility for acts and omissions of the assistant(s), and is responsible with any and all tax obligations.

You may not offer or sell any services which, in our sole discretion:

• We consider hazardous, counterfeit, stolen, fraudulent, abusive or adverse to our interests or reputation;

• Are prohibited for sale, distribution or use;

• Are manufactured as, or primarily intended to be used as weapons, including firearms, restricted devices, or ammunition. We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether any product constitutes a “weapon” for purposes of this agreement;

• Use images or names of any third party (including notable personalities or celebrities) when offering or selling products without first obtaining that third party’s permission; or

• Otherwise fail in any way to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, including without limitation with respect to intellectual property, trade secrets, privacy or publicity rights, consumer protection, product safety or trade regulations or export controls, regulations or sanctions.

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.

We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, and without any notice to you, suspend, restrict or disable access to or remove your account, your sites or your services, without any liability to you or to any client, including without limitation for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible losses (except where prohibited by applicable law). For example, we may suspend your services if you are violating this agreement.

All payments from client to helper shall be completed directly on the hallo platform. To accept payments from your clients in connection with services, you must connect your bank via creating a Stripe connected account provided by Hallo. Your relationship with the third party payment processor (the “payment processor”) is governed by the payment processor’s terms and policies. By registering with the payment processor, you are confirming that you will not accept payments via payment processor in connection with any prohibited business or business practices , which may vary from country to country. We do not control and are not liable for any payment processor, or for any transaction you may enter into with or through the payment processor. The payment processors is a third party service, as described in section 2 of this agreement. The payment processor may provide invoices for any transaction fees associated with your service transactions.

Hallo is not obligated to pay service provider in the event the client does not pay. Provider is responsible for invoicing the client no more than 24 hours after completing the work, or as agreed with the client. The invoice must contain: (i) the agreed price, (ii) any out of pocket expenses or additional skills or tasks agreed with and submitted in connection with the task, (iii) any tip or gratuity, if applicable or desired, (iv) the service charge hallo assesses to the client as payable for the use of the hallo platform, variable based on the service payment amount, and (v) any additional platform fee hallo assesses to the client, which is used to offset hallo’s cost of providing users with customer support and other various business objectives, and (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. All invoicing must be done, without any exceptions, via hallo platform or any approved invoicing service.

Company reserves the right to charge helper connected accounts for any chargebacks, fees, and/or penalties incurred while using the hallo helper platform.

When a client receives confirmation through the hallo platform or via email that the service has been completed, client automatically authorizes the payment processor to process the invoice, if not done so already.

Company reserves the right to suspend any payment or to refund any amount in its sole discretion, upon notice of potential fraud or misuse of the hallo helper platform.

All users are responsible for all tax liabilities required to be paid.

Informal negotiations— To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this agreement (“dispute”), you and hallo agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute (except those disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to hallo. Hallo’s address for such notices is Hallo Technologies, 1250 Ave. Ponce de León, suite 600, San Juan, PR 00907.

Binding arbitration— If you and hallo are unable to resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from the use of the service (except those disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. You understand that if either party elects to arbitrate, neither party will have the right to sue in court or have a jury trial. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the commercial arbitration rules (the “aaa rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“aaa”) 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. 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). If your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, hallo will pay all such fees unless either hallo legal representation or 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)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, you and Hallo may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Exceptions to alternative dispute resolution— Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court located within the commonwealth of puerto rico with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

Waiver of right to be a plaintiff or class member in a purported class action or representative proceeding— You and hallo agree that any arbitration will be limited to the dispute between hallo and you individually. You acknowledge and agree that you and hallo are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and hallo, otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “dispute resolution” section will be deemed null and void.

Location of arbitration— Arbitration will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. You and hallo agree that for any dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the commonwealth of puerto rico and federal courts located in San Juan, Puerto Rico have exclusive jurisdiction and you and hallo agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Basically...

If something goes wrong, contact us and we'll negotiate the problem. If that doesn’t work, we will figure it out in arbitration in San Juan. We don’t want a legal fight. Having said that, should we be forced to, we will do so with our best legal counsel.
