b. Your access and use of Uber Tasks is also governed by Uber’s U.S. Terms of Use (“Terms”), which includes an Arbitration Agreement, as well as all other applicable terms, conditions, policies, limitations and requirements.

2. Uber Tasks
a. Uber Tasks provides an online and in-app portal that enables users to search for task helpers to provide them with services in-and-around a user’s home as needed. Users are responsible for both identifying the specific Task to be completed and the estimating the amount of time they will allow for the task helper to complete the Task. It is your responsibility to inform the task helper of any tools to bring to complete the Tasks you have requested to be performed in-and-around your home. Users must be present at the task location and need to provide the in-app PIN to the task helper for the commencement of the Task. You may not request for task helpers to move, lift, or provide any assistance with boxes or items that are above fifty (50) pounds. Uber provides no insurance coverage for any property damage or personal injuries that may occur to you, the task helper or any other third parties in connection with the services being provided by the task helper. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in offering users the ability to use Uber Tasks, we will not verify and cannot guarantee that all information is accurate, complete, or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors, including manifest and typographical errors, any interruptions, repair, upgrade, or maintenance of our platform or otherwise, inaccurate, misleading, or untrue information, nor non-delivery of information. Uber Tasks does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification, rating, or type of accommodation of any task helper or the services a task helper provides, unless explicitly indicated otherwise. Uber Tasks is made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to resell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g., spider, scrape), display, download, or reproduce any content or information, software, reservations, tickets, products, or services available on Uber Tasks for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT task helperS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND ARE NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, NOR JOINT VENTURERS OF UBER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES. UBER DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS.
b. task helpers: By using Uber Tasks, you enter into a direct, legally binding contractual relationship with the task helper with which you make a reservation for them to provide short-term service(s). Uber acts solely as an intermediary between you and the task helper, transmitting the relevant details of your reservation to the task helper. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT UBER DOES NOT PERFORM TASKS, AND THE task helper’S WORK IS NOT AN INTEGRAL PART OF UBER’S BUSINESS; UBER DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM TASKS; UBER DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL, MONITOR, NOR APPROVE A task helper’S WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE WORK PERFORMED AND THE TASKS IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A WARRANTY OF CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, STATUTE, ORDINANCE, REGULATION, OR CODE.

You will provide the estimated amount of time you would like the task helper to work on your requested Task. You agree to pay the task helper for their work according to the following:
- You agree to pay the task helper for a minimum of one hour, even if the Task is completed in under one hour’s time;

However, if you cancel the requested task within one hour of the task’s start time, you will be responsible for paying the full estimated total as detailed in the Uber App (“Tasks Cancellation Fee”).
If the task helper is not able to complete the Task because, for example, the user is not at the task location to provide the PIN and start the Task, you will be responsible for paying the Tasks Cancellation Fee. You acknowledge and agree that you may be charged for any costs associated with a Task failure.
4. Tasks Notices
The user will receive a message from Uber notifying them that a task helper is en route to perform the Task as scheduled (“Task Notice”). The Task Notice may be a push notification, or an SMS message, depending on the user’s app user preferences.
