These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Worksy. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of any changes.

2. Description of Services

Worksy is a platform that connects clients seeking local services with independent service providers ("Workers"). We provide the technology platform but do not employ Workers or provide services directly. Workers are independent contractors, not employees of Worksy.

Be at least 18 years of age
Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
Provide accurate and complete registration information
Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account.

4.3 Account Suspension

5. Worker Verification

Workers must complete our verification process, which may include:

Identity verification
Background checks
Skills assessment
Proof of insurance or licensing where required

While we conduct verification, we do not guarantee the accuracy of all information provided by Workers. Clients should exercise their own judgment when hiring Workers.

6. Payments and Fees

6.1 Service Fees

Worksy charges service fees to facilitate platform operations. Clients pay a service fee on top of the Worker's rate. Workers pay a service fee (typically 15%) deducted from their earnings.

6.2 Payment Processing

All payments are processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. Client payments are held in escrow until work is completed and approved. Workers receive payment within 2-3 business days after job completion.

6.3 Refunds and Disputes

Refund requests must be submitted within 48 hours of job completion. We will review disputes fairly and may issue full or partial refunds at our discretion. Clients should not release payment until satisfied with completed work.

Violate any laws or regulations
