Terms & Conditions

These terms of service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and TaskHuman, Inc. (“TaskHuman,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of the TaskHuman application, websites, technology platform, and related services (collectively, the “TaskHuman Platform”).

By entering into this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge that you have read and understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms and conditions without limitation or qualification. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not use or access the TaskHuman Platform.

Please be advised: This Agreement contains provisions that govern how claims you and TaskHuman have against each other can be brought. These provisions will, with limited exception, require you to submit claims you have against TaskHuman to binding and final arbitration on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, group or representative action or proceeding.

The TaskHuman Platform

The TaskHuman Platform enables Knowledge Seekers (“Knowledge Seekers”) to instantaneously connect, arrange to connect, or match with Knowledge Providers (“Knowledge Providers”) who offer to share their human experiences, including but not limited to meditation, self-awareness, physical fitness, leadership skills, and other types of holistic practices to improve all aspects of your career and life.

Knowledge Seekers and Knowledge Providers are collectively referred to herein as Users (“Users”), and each User shall be required to create an account to access the TaskHuman Platform. For purposes of this Agreement, the experience sharing provided by Knowledge Providers to Knowledge Seekers, shall be referred to collectively as the Services (“Services”).

Any decision by a User to offer or accept Services is a decision made in each User’s sole discretion. Each Service delivered by a Knowledge Provider to a Knowledge Seeker shall constitute a separate agreement for such Services, between the relevant Knowledge Provider and Knowledge Seeker, each subject to this Agreement. TaskHuman disclaims all liability in respect of any Services provided by any Knowledge Provider on the TaskHuman Platform or through the Services.

The TaskHuman Platform offers Users a portal through which to amplify their daily work and personal life, but there are certain services and information that we do not offer and that are outside of the scope of the Services:

• DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICE ADVICE. IT IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.

• THIS SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT.

DO NOT DISREGARD, AVOID, OR DELAY OBTAINING MEDICAL ADVICE OR TREATMENT FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER DUE TO ANY INFORMATION ACQUIRED ON THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM. YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES DOES NOT CREATE IN ANY WAY A PHYSICIAN/PATIENT, CONFIDENTIAL, OR PRIVILEGED RELATIONSHIP, OR ANY SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO DUTIES ON OUR PART.

• RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION ACQUIRED ON THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Third Party Knowledge Providers

Certain accounts sponsored by a User’s employer, school, or other sponsoring organization (“Sponsors” or “TaskHuman Business Partner Organizations”) may provide Users with access to Knowledge Providers selected by the Sponsor (“Third Party Knowledge Providers” or “Mentors”).  Third Party Knowledge Providers are not employees or independent contractors of TaskHuman.  Third Party Knowledge Providers are selected solely by the Sponsor organization, and TaskHuman does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct, supervise, monitor or control any Third Party Knowledge Provider.  References made to Knowledge Providers throughout this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to Third Party Knowledge Providers to the extent applicable.

Disclaimers

The following disclaimers are made on behalf of TaskHuman, our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, and assigns, and each of our and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and shareholders.

TaskHuman itself is not a Knowledge Provider. Each User is able to determine whether he or she would like to share knowledge or receive knowledge about other experiences. TaskHuman has no control over the quality, accuracy, reliability, effectiveness, or any other aspect of the knowledge sharing that occurs between Users and assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions of any Users. TaskHuman reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor communications between Users on the TaskHuman Platform.

THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE AND DO NOT PROMISE ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS FROM USE OF THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM AND/OR THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE OR RECEIVE SERVICES AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION OR TIME.  WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

We do not warrant that your use of the TaskHuman Platform or Services will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, secure, uninterrupted, always available, or error-free, or will meet your requirements, that any defects in the TaskHuman Platform will be corrected, or that the TaskHuman Platform is free of viruses or other harmful components.  We disclaim liability for, and no warranty is made with respect to, connectivity and availability of the TaskHuman Platform or Services.

We cannot guarantee that each User is who he or she claims to be. Nor can we guarantee the accuracy of any representations made regarding the competence, qualifications, or experience of any Knowledge Provider, all of which are based on the representations of the Knowledge Providers themselves (or, with respect to Third Party Knowledge Providers, the representations of the Sponsor that selected such Third Party Knowledge Provider). You are solely responsible for determining if your Knowledge Provider is qualified to share the knowledge you request. You understand that we reserve the right, but we have no obligation, to conduct background checks on Knowledge Providers. Please use common sense when using the TaskHuman Platform and Services, including looking at the photos (when available) of the Knowledge Provider or Knowledge Seeker you have connected with to make sure it is the same individual you believe you are communicating with. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense, and we do not accept responsibility or liability for any content, communication or other use or access of the TaskHuman Platform by persons under the age of eighteen (18) in violation of this Agreement. If you believe that your safety is threatened through your interaction with other Users, immediately call 911 or law enforcement.

TaskHuman is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any User of the TaskHuman Platform or Services. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We do not procure insurance for, nor are we responsible for procuring insurance for any User. TaskHuman is not responsible for any adverse health effects that may arise from the Services, including any information, advice, consultations, products, or events you learn about on the TaskHuman Platform.

TaskHuman expressly disclaims any liability arising from the unauthorized use of your User account. Should you suspect that any unauthorized party may be using your User account, or you suspect any other breach of security, you agree to notify us immediately.

It is possible for others to obtain information about you that you provide, publish, or post to or through the TaskHuman Platform (including any profile information you provide), send to other Users, or share during the Services, and to use such information to harass or harm you. We are not responsible for the use of any personal information (including protected health/legal information) that you disclose to other Users on the TaskHuman Platform or through the Services. Please carefully select the type of information that you provide on the TaskHuman Platform or through the Services or release to others. In particular, you should refrain from providing credit card or other payment information to other Users on the TaskHuman Platform or through the Services. Additionally, you should refrain from disclosing confidential or proprietary information. You are fully responsible for any information that you provide to other Users, and we disclaim all liability, regardless of the form of action, for the acts or omissions of other Users (including unauthorized Users, or “hackers”), including in respect of the use of any personal, proprietary, or confidential information you provided to such Users.

Opinions, advice, statements, offers, or other information or content concerning TaskHuman or made available through the TaskHuman Platform, but not directly by us, are those of their respective authors, and should not necessarily be relied upon. Such authors are solely responsible for such content. Under no circumstances will we be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on information or other content posted by third parties, whether on the TaskHuman Platform or otherwise. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with respect to any questions you may have regarding a medical or health-related condition, and you should not disregard, avoid, or delay obtaining medical advice or treatment from your physician or other qualified healthcare provider due to any information or content made available on the TaskHuman Platform or through the Services. We reserve the right, but we have no obligation, to monitor the materials posted on the TaskHuman Platform and remove any such material that in our sole opinion violates, or is alleged to violate, the law or this Agreement or which might be offensive, illegal, or that might violate the rights, harm, or threaten the safety of Users or others.

Communications

By becoming a User, you agree to receive communications from us and our representatives, including via e-mail, video call, chat, text message, phone or voice call, and push notification, which may be prerecorded and/or generated by automatic telephone dialing systems or other automatic communication systems.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

Overview of the Dispute Resolution Process: TaskHuman is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for disputes: (1) an informal negotiation directly with TaskHuman’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by the Arbitration Agreement below).

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification: Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and TaskHuman each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and first attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of the dispute. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact TaskHuman’s customer service team by emailing us. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, you or we feel the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.

Arbitration Agreement

By agreeing to this Agreement, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against TaskHuman, our affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, and assigns, or any of our or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, or shareholders (collectively, the “TaskHuman Parties”), on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against the TaskHuman Parties, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against TaskHuman Parties by someone else.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and the TaskHuman Parties: You and the TaskHuman Parties agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (1) this Agreement or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, (2) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to this Agreement, (3) your receipt of any communications, including without limitation, calls or text messages, from TaskHuman Parties, or (4) any advertising for the TaskHuman Platform or Services, will be settled by binding arbitration, and not in a court of law, provided however, that you and the TaskHuman Parties retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court (if the action qualifies, remains in such court and advances only on an individual basis) and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. This Arbitration Agreement also does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the TaskHuman Parties on your behalf.

You acknowledge and agree that you and the TaskHuman Parties are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and we otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the applicable claim shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought into the state or federal courts in Santa Clara County, California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

Rules and Governing Law: The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

The parties agree that the Arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Agreement is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Notwithstanding any other choice of law or other provision in the Agreement the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of California, exclusive of any conflicts of law provisions.

Process: A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at https://www.adr.org/ConsumerForms or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Location and Procedure: Unless you and TaskHuman otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $25,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and TaskHuman submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision: The Arbitrator will render a binding award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. If there is no appeal as stated below, the Arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties and the judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will not be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, except to the extent required under applicable law or AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, the TaskHuman Parties agree not to seek, and hereby waive all rights they may have under applicable law or the AAA rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if they prevail in arbitration.

Appeals: At either party’s election and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the arbitrator’s award, such award may be appealed to another arbitrator (“Appellate Arbitrator”) who shall be chosen in the same manner as described above. The Appellate Arbitrator shall apply the same standard of review as an appellate court in the same jurisdiction would apply to review the decisions of a trial court, and shall issue an opinion based on such review and law. The Appellate Arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Fees: Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

Changes: If TaskHuman changes these Dispute Resolution Provisions and Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Agreement (or to any subsequent changes to the Agreement), you may reject any such change by providing TaskHuman written notice of such rejection within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective” date of the updated Agreement as shown on the TaskHuman Platform.

This written notice must be provided by email (from the email address associated with your Account if you are a registered User) to: disputeresolution@taskhuman.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and TaskHuman in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Agreement (or to any subsequent changes to the Agreement).

Severability: If applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the Arbitration Agreement’s limitations on class, collective, consolidated or representative proceedings as to a particular claim for relief, then the applicable claim, and only that claim, shall be severed from the arbitration, brought into the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, California and stayed in litigation pending the outcome of any individual claims remaining in arbitration. If any other provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the parties shall remain bound by all other provisions hereof and the invalid or non-binding provision shall be replaced with provisions that are valid and binding and have, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the invalid or non-binding provision.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to release, defend (at TaskHuman’s option), indemnify, and hold the TaskHuman Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (1) your breach of this Agreement or TaskHuman’s policies, (2) your improper use of the TaskHuman Platform or any Services, (3) your interaction with any User, including without limitation any injuries, losses, or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, (4) any claims or penalties with respect to withholding taxes imposed on TaskHuman by the relevant tax authorities with respect to any compensation paid to Knowledge Provider, or (5) your breach of any laws, regulations, or third party rights.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL ANY TASKHUMAN PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR DELETION, CORRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROGRAMS, FAILURE TO STORE ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER CONTENT MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED BY THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM, SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, OR FOR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM, THE SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER ARISING INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, EVEN IF WE OR OUR AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES KNOW OR HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE TASKHUMAN PLATFORM MAY BE USED BY YOU TO SHARE AND LEARN ABOUT HUMAN EXPERIENCES, BUT YOU AGREE THAT TASKHUMAN HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO YOU RELATED TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY KNOWLEDGE PROVIDERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THEIR TERMS. CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles, except as may be otherwise described in the Arbitration Agreement section of this Agreement. This provision is specifically intended to specify the use of California law when interpreting this Agreement. This provision is not intended to create any other substantive right to non-Californians to assert claims under California law whether by statute, common law, or otherwise.

Waiver

A waiver of any terms of this Agreement will not be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. TaskHuman’s failure to assert a right under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such right.

Severability and Survival

If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or non-binding, the parties shall remain bound by all other provisions hereof. In that event, the parties shall replace the invalid or non- binding provision with provisions that are valid and binding and that have, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the invalid or non-binding provision, given the contents and purpose of this Agreement.

Entire Agreement
