The extra terms that apply when you offer help on TasksNearMe.

1. Working for yourself

You're an independent helper, not an employee. You choose your tasks, prices, and hours, and you're responsible for your own taxes.

2. Verification

To send offers you need an ID check and payout setup. In-home categories also need a background check. Badges show what was checked and when.

3. Doing the work

  • Do what was agreed, at the agreed time.
  • Keep the poster's address and details private, and use them only for the task.
  • Don't take on anything on the prohibited list.

4. Getting paid

You receive the task price minus a service fee, shown before you accept. Approved expenses are reimbursed separately without fees. If a poster cancels late, you receive the late-cancellation fee.

5. Cancellations and no-shows

If you cancel or don't show up, the poster is refunded in full and your account may get a strike. Repeated strikes can lead to suspension.

6. Rewards

Gift card rewards follow the rewards terms. Rewards aren't wages and never depend on reviews or ratings.
