ANEWTASK Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ANEWTASK website, mobile website, applications, messaging tools, and related online products and services (collectively, the "Services") provided by ANEWTASK, Inc. ("ANEWTASK," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, purchasing a subscription, contacting a tasker, or submitting information through the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Important publication note: before publishing, replace every bracketed placeholder in these Terms with real, monitored legal contact information. Section 16 DMCA contact information should match the current DMCA designated agent information maintained with the U.S. Copyright Office, and Section 29 provider/contact information should be kept current for California Civil Code section 1789.3 disclosures and for the contractual notice procedures in these Terms.

1. Nature of the Services

ANEWTASK is an online listing and connection platform that helps users find local construction and home service taskers. ANEWTASK is not a contractor, subcontractor, construction manager, project manager, broker of service contracts, insurer, surety, inspection company, licensing authority, employer of taskers, staffing agency, or payment processor for job transactions between customers and taskers. ANEWTASK does not perform the work advertised by taskers, does not negotiate job terms on behalf of users, does not set job pricing, does not collect or hold customer payments for services, and is not a party to any agreement, quote, estimate, scope of work, invoice, change order, schedule, warranty, or dispute between any customer and any tasker. All service contracts, estimates, job terms, schedules, access instructions, payment arrangements, warranties, permits, code compliance obligations, and any other terms relating to a job are solely between the customer and the tasker.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are 18 years of age or older; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement; (c) any information you provide is accurate and current; and (d) if you use the Services on behalf of a business or other entity, you have authority to bind that business or entity to these Terms. ANEWTASK may suspend or terminate access if we believe a user is under 18 or lacks authority to act for a business.

3. No Employment, Agency, Endorsement, Recommendation, or Guarantee

Taskers listed on ANEWTASK are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, franchisees, or representatives of ANEWTASK. Taskers operate completely independent business entities. ANEWTASK does not dictate a tasker's working hours, job performance methods, uniform, tools, jobsite practices, or pricing. Taskers are entirely responsible for their own payroll, taxes, workers compensation coverage, insurance, permits, licenses, and compliance with all applicable labor and employment laws. ANEWTASK does not supervise, direct, control, or guarantee any tasker's work, conduct, response time, quality, safety, legality, licensing status, bond status, insurance status, pricing, availability, honesty, reliability, or completion of any project.

Any "verified," "licensed," "insured," "bonded," "featured," "top rated," "promoted," or similar label, badge, designation, or description on ANEWTASK means only that certain information or documents were submitted to ANEWTASK, reviewed by ANEWTASK or its service providers, or matched against records available at the time of review. It is not a promise, certification, endorsement, recommendation, criminal background check, sex offender registry check, warranty of workmanship, or representation that the information remains current, complete, or accurate at all times. ANEWTASK DOES NOT PERFORM CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY SEARCHES ON USERS OR TASKERS.

Users are solely responsible for independently evaluating taskers, checking references, confirming licensing, bond, insurance, permits, safety practices, and suitability for any project. ANEWTASK assumes no responsibility or liability for forged, falsified, altered, incomplete, or fraudulent documents submitted by taskers or other users during any verification or listing process.

4. Accounts and Registration

You may need an account to use some or all of the Services. You agree to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information; keep your information current; maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials; promptly notify ANEWTASK of any suspected unauthorized account access; and accept responsibility for activity under your account unless caused solely by ANEWTASK's own unauthorized access or security failure.

No account sharing or transfer. Your account is strictly tied to the verified individual or business entity that registered it. You may not sell, assign, trade, rent, lend, sublicense, or share your account, profile, or login credentials with any unverified third party. Use of a verified account by an unverified individual, unauthorized subcontractor, or substitute worker constitutes a material breach of these Terms. ANEWTASK may immediately suspend, hide, or terminate the account and listing, without refund, for suspected account sharing, transfer, impersonation, or bait-and-switch conduct.

ANEWTASK may reject, reclaim, suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts, usernames, business profiles, or listings at any time, with or without notice, for any lawful reason.

5. Tasker Listings; Compliance; Ranking

Taskers may create business profiles and appear in ANEWTASK's directory and related listing results without purchasing a subscription. By becoming a tasker and posting a listing, you represent and warrant that: (a) your business is lawfully organized and in good standing where required; (b) all licenses, registrations, permits, bonds, and insurance you claim to hold are valid and current; (c) your listing and services comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, codes, licensing rules, advertising rules, and consumer-protection requirements; (d) you will maintain all legally required licenses, bond coverage, insurance, and permits for the services you offer; and (e) your content is accurate, non-misleading, and not deceptive.

Taskers operating in California are solely responsible for complying with applicable Contractors State License Board rules, classification limits, required license-number disclosures, and any other construction, home improvement, or advertising laws that may apply to their services or listings. ANEWTASK does not monitor the financial scope of each job, each permit requirement, or each listing for CSLB compliance, and does not guarantee that any listing complies with such laws. ANEWTASK may request documentation, updates, or re-verification at any time, but has no obligation to continuously monitor or independently confirm any listing information.

The placement, sorting, ranking, categorization, or display of tasker listings in search results, including any labels such as "Featured," "Top Rated," or "Promoted," may reflect automated systems, business rules, paid placements, user activity, or other internal criteria. Promote is a separate optional one-time purchase; it is not part of a Tasker subscription and is not required for publication or listing visibility. These display decisions do not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or guarantee by ANEWTASK of a tasker's quality, safety, suitability, or legal compliance. ANEWTASK may remove, edit, reorder, downgrade, suppress, or refuse any listing, category placement, image, badge, review, or profile feature at any time, with or without notice.

6. Public Tasker Information

If you choose to become a tasker, you understand and agree that some or all of the following information may be visible to the public on the Services: governing or liable member's full name; company name; professional license information; bond details; insurance details; registered business address; business phone number; business email address; logo; portfolio photos; and any other information you choose to publish in your listing. You are solely responsible for deciding what information to submit for publication and for ensuring you have the right to publish it.

7. Customer Use and User-to-User Communications

Customers may search listings, contact taskers, request quotes, exchange messages, and share job details through the Services. Users understand and agree that they may choose to disclose phone numbers, email addresses, project details, photos, exact physical addresses, access instructions, gate codes, alarm information, budget information, timelines, and other personal or property-related information in messages or off-platform communications. ANEWTASK does not control, review in real time, or guarantee the content of user communications. ANEWTASK is not responsible for any message, promise, representation, quote, instruction, agreement, or disclosure made by any user.

8. Off-Platform Conduct and Full Responsibility for Jobs

Users may decide to communicate, negotiate, schedule, meet, inspect properties, perform work, make payments, or otherwise deal with one another outside the Services. ANEWTASK neither requires nor prohibits off-platform communications, and ANEWTASK is not responsible for them. Customer and tasker are 100% solely responsible for: vetting one another; deciding whether to meet or proceed with a job; all quotes, estimates, pricing, deposits, invoices, payment methods, refunds, and chargebacks; project scope, change orders, workmanship, delays, cancellations, and warranties; permits, inspections, code compliance, safety measures, and legal compliance; property access, keys, entry codes, alarms, pets, tools, materials, cleanup, and site conditions; and any online, phone, text, email, chat, in-person, or off-platform interactions.

Hazardous materials and site conditions. Construction and home services inherently involve risks, including exposure to tools, heavy machinery, dust, mold, fumes, and potentially hazardous chemicals or substances. ANEWTASK does not inspect job sites, materials, or environmental conditions. The tasker is solely responsible for jobsite safety, proper ventilation, environmental compliance, and providing all warnings required by applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ANEWTASK will have no liability arising out of or relating to any act or omission of any customer or tasker, any service performed or not performed, any physical visit, any property access, any disclosure of an address or contact information, any off-platform interaction, or any agreement or dispute between users.

9. Subscriptions, Billing, Failed Payments, Chargebacks, and Non-Refundability

An active Tasker subscription allows a tasker to read and reply to customer messages. Publication eligibility, business-profile visibility, and appearance in ANEWTASK's directory or related listing results do not require a subscription. ANEWTASK offers a monthly plan for $59.90 per month and an annual plan for $600 per year. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize ANEWTASK and its payment processor to charge your selected payment method on a recurring monthly or annual basis, depending on the selected plan, until cancellation. The subscription will continue and automatically renew for the same billing period unless canceled before the next billing date. By completing checkout, you affirmatively consent to the recurring subscription, the recurring charges, the cancellation policy, and these Terms. ANEWTASK may send an electronic acknowledgment or receipt that you can retain.

A tasker may cancel a subscription online through the account settings or by using any other cancellation method ANEWTASK makes available. Cancellation stops future renewals, and subscription access remains available through the end of the current paid billing period. Cancellation does not undo charges already incurred for the current billing period unless required by law. All subscription fees are non-refundable. This includes partial months, unused time, downgraded usage, temporary non-use, suspension caused by your conduct, removal of a listing for policy violations, or dissatisfaction with the number of leads, impressions, messages, profile views, or business results generated through the Services, except where a refund is required by applicable law.

Abusive chargebacks. If you initiate a fraudulent, abusive, or unwarranted chargeback or other reversal of a valid charge, ANEWTASK may immediately suspend or terminate your account and listing, contest the chargeback, and pursue recovery of the disputed amount, chargeback fees, collection costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law.

If a subscription payment is past due, ANEWTASK may pause the tasker's access to reading and replying to customer messages until payment is successfully completed. Subscription payment status does not by itself affect publication eligibility, the tasker's profile visibility, or listing visibility.

Taskers are responsible for any taxes, duties, levies, or governmental charges associated with their subscription or business operations, except taxes based on ANEWTASK's net income. ANEWTASK's subscription fees are for access to reading and replying to customer messages. ANEWTASK does not collect or process payment for work performed by taskers for customers. Users remain solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any taxes associated with their own services, jobs, or business activities.

Payment processing services are provided by a third-party payment provider chosen by ANEWTASK. Your use of payment processing may also be subject to the applicable provider's terms and privacy policies. ANEWTASK is not liable for payment processor outages, errors, delays, holds, reversals, fraud screening decisions, or bank or network failures.

10. User Content; Reviews; Portfolio Photos; License to ANEWTASK

"User Content" means any content you submit, upload, send, post, store, display, or otherwise provide through the Services, including business descriptions, logos, reviews, messages, photos, videos, portfolio images, service descriptions, and other materials. As between you and ANEWTASK, you retain ownership of your User Content, subject to the rights you grant below.

By submitting User Content, you grant ANEWTASK a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, publish, modify for formatting purposes, and use that User Content to operate, improve, test, secure, and provide the Services; display your listing and related content on the Services; promote ANEWTASK and the platform in advertising and marketing; and maintain archival, backup, compliance, and internal business records. By uploading portfolio photos, logos, and similar branding or showcase materials, taskers specifically grant ANEWTASK a royalty-free license to use those materials for platform marketing and promotion.

Image metadata and EXIF data. Photographs, portfolio images, chat attachments, and other uploaded files may contain embedded metadata, including EXIF data that may reveal GPS location, date, time, device information, or other details. ANEWTASK may, but is not obligated to, use automated or manual processes to modify or remove metadata from some files. ANEWTASK does not guarantee the complete removal of EXIF data or other metadata from any uploaded file, publicly displayed image, message attachment, or downloaded copy. You are solely responsible for reviewing and removing sensitive metadata before uploading files to the Services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with 47 U.S.C. § 230, ANEWTASK is not the publisher or speaker of information provided by users, including reviews, comments, profile descriptions, or other user-submitted content. This statement does not expand any immunity beyond what applicable law provides and does not limit obligations that may arise under intellectual property law, federal criminal law, sex-trafficking law, or communications privacy law.

You represent and warrant that you own or control all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not violate any law or third-party right.

11. Privacy

ANEWTASK's Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Without limiting the Privacy Policy, users understand and agree that tasker profile information may be public; customer and tasker messages may include personal, property, or address information voluntarily disclosed by users; and ANEWTASK may retain hidden or archived account data for a limited period after deletion for fraud prevention, dispute handling, security, recordkeeping, and legal compliance.

12. Prohibited Conduct

You may not use the Services to: violate any law, rule, regulation, code, or court order; post false, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent information; misrepresent licenses, insurance, bond status, qualifications, or authority; impersonate any person or entity; stalk, harass, threaten, abuse, extort, intimidate, or defraud anyone; upload malware, harmful code, or disruptive material; scrape, harvest, crawl, spider, or systematically extract data without ANEWTASK's prior written consent; reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to bypass security or access controls; or interfere with the proper functioning of the Services.

Anti-discrimination. Users and taskers must comply with applicable federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws. You may not use the Services to publish listings, send messages, deny services, or communicate preferences based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, veteran status, age, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Review manipulation and extortion. You may not use the threat of a negative review or complaint to extort discounts, refunds, extra work, or favorable treatment. Taskers and users may not purchase, fabricate, trade, or artificially inflate reviews or ratings. Nothing in these Terms prohibits honest reviews or good-faith complaints permitted by law.

Illegal activity. You may not use the Services to facilitate illegal acts, unauthorized services, human trafficking, prostitution where illegal, fraud, harassment, or any service that violates applicable law or licensing requirements. ANEWTASK may preserve, disclose, or report information relating to suspected illegal activity to the extent permitted or required by law.

Ban on AI training and data mining. You may not use, scrape, crawl, copy, or extract any content or data from the Services, including tasker profiles, photos, contact information, or other listing data, for the purpose of training machine learning models, artificial intelligence systems, large language models, or building competing databases, directories, or commercial datasets, except as expressly authorized by ANEWTASK in writing.

13. Communications and SMS

By providing your email address or phone number, you consent to receive transactional, service, security, and administrative communications from ANEWTASK, including by email, phone call, or text message where applicable and where legally permitted. If ANEWTASK sends text messages, message and data rates may apply. You may revoke consent to further text messages in any reasonable manner, including by replying STOP where such functionality is offered. Opt-out requests will be processed within the time required by applicable law, but opting out may affect your ability to receive account alerts, login codes, payment reminders, or other Service-related communications.

14. Third-Party Services and Infrastructure

The Services may depend on third-party providers, including hosting, cloud infrastructure, AWS or similar providers, content delivery networks, payment processors, email vendors, analytics providers, mapping providers, and communications providers. ANEWTASK does not control and is not liable for any third-party service, content, software, policy, outage, downtime, delay, failure, interruption, hack, data-routing issue, telecommunications failure, payment failure, or infrastructure problem.

15. Intellectual Property

The Services, including the ANEWTASK name, branding, software, design, text, graphics, compilation, and all related intellectual property, are owned by ANEWTASK or its licensors and are protected by law. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ANEWTASK grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services for their intended purpose.

16. Copyright Complaints and DMCA

ANEWTASK may remove content alleged to infringe intellectual property rights and may terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. To seek the protections available to online service providers under 17 U.S.C. § 512, ANEWTASK intends to maintain a designated DMCA agent and a notice-and-takedown process. Notices of claimed copyright infringement must be sent to ANEWTASK's designated Copyright Agent in writing and must substantially comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

17. Suspension, Termination, and Law-Enforcement Cooperation

ANEWTASK may suspend, restrict, hide, or terminate any account, listing, subscription, message functionality, or access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any lawful reason, including suspected fraud, abuse, inaccurate information, legal risk, policy violations, or use of the Services for illegal conduct. Subscription non-payment may suspend access to reading and replying to customer messages, but does not by itself make a Tasker ineligible for publication or listing visibility. ANEWTASK may cooperate with law-enforcement requests, court orders, subpoenas, or other legal process as required or permitted by law.

18. DISCLAIMERS

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANEWTASK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME. ANEWTASK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY TASKER OR CUSTOMER IS SAFE, QUALIFIED, TRUSTWORTHY, LICENSED, INSURED, BONDED, AVAILABLE, OR SUITABLE; THAT ANY INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES IS COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ACCURATE; THAT ANY JOB WILL BE COMPLETED OR COMPLETED SATISFACTORILY; THAT ANY QUOTE, PRICE, OR TIMELINE WILL BE HONORED; OR THAT AWS, CLOUD HOSTING, NETWORKS, PAYMENT SYSTEMS, OR OTHER TECHNICAL COMPONENTS WILL OPERATE WITHOUT FAILURE OR DOWNTIME.

No guarantee of leads or user identity. ANEWTASK does not guarantee the volume, quality, authenticity, seriousness, intent, or financial capability of inquiries, messages, or leads a tasker may receive. Taskers may receive spam, bot, scam, duplicate, or otherwise low-quality inquiries, and ANEWTASK bears no liability for wasted time, lost revenue, or business disappointment resulting from such interactions.

19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANEWTASK AND ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OWNERS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, CONTRACTS, GOODWILL, DATA, USE, OR EXPECTED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANEWTASK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY TASKER'S OR CUSTOMER'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS; ANY SERVICE WORK, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, DEATH, THEFT, FRAUD, HARASSMENT, ASSAULT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORTIOUS CONDUCT; ANY OFF-PLATFORM COMMUNICATION OR TRANSACTION; ANY DISCLOSURE OF AN ADDRESS, CONTACT INFORMATION, OR PROPERTY ACCESS DETAILS; ANY USER CONTENT; ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURE; ANY INTERRUPTION, OUTAGE, HACK, SECURITY INCIDENT, DELAY, VIRUS, OR LOSS OF DATA; OR ANY SUBSCRIPTION RESULTS OR LACK OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANEWTASK'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ANEWTASK IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Data breach notices and third-party attacks. If ANEWTASK is required by applicable law to provide notice of a qualifying data breach, ANEWTASK will provide notice in the manner and within the timeframes required by law. Except to the extent liability cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, ANEWTASK is not liable for unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or data theft caused by third parties, sophisticated cyberattacks, or circumstances beyond ANEWTASK's reasonable control.

One-year limitation on claims. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrued. This contractual limitations period does not apply to claims for which a different limitations period is provided by applicable law or cannot lawfully be shortened, including claims seeking non-waivable statutory remedies or public injunctive relief to the extent such claims must proceed on a different timetable under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability to the extent such limitation or exclusion is prohibited by applicable law.

20. ASSUMPTION OF RISK; RELEASE

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USING AN ONLINE DIRECTORY TO CONTACT STRANGERS FOR CONSTRUCTION OR HOME SERVICES INVOLVES RISKS, INCLUDING RISKS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, INCOMPLETE OR DEFECTIVE WORK, PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, FRAUD, THEFT, HARASSMENT, CODE VIOLATIONS, UNLICENSED ACTIVITY, PAYMENT DISPUTES, HEALTH RISKS, AND OFF-PLATFORM MISCONDUCT.

Health and safety risks. By using the Services to arrange in-person meetings or jobs inside a residence or business, you acknowledge the inherent risks of exposure to communicable diseases, viruses, illnesses, allergens, pests, fumes, and other health or environmental conditions. ANEWTASK does not verify the health, vaccination status, or medical history of any user. You assume all health-related and bodily risks associated with interacting with other users in person.

YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS, ANY DISCLOSURE OF CONTACT OR LOCATION INFORMATION, ANY PROPERTY VISIT, AND ANY JOB OR PROJECT ARRANGED THROUGH OR AFTER USE OF THE SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU RELEASE ANEWTASK AND ITS RELATED PARTIES FROM ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO DISPUTES OR INTERACTIONS BETWEEN USERS OR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ANEWTASK and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, owners, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services; your User Content; your listings, services, projects, communications, or transactions; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any law or third-party right; or your acts or omissions toward any customer, tasker, or third party.

Reimbursement for third-party civil legal requests. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if ANEWTASK is subpoenaed or otherwise legally compelled to provide records, logs, testimony, or data in a civil dispute solely between you and another user, or between you and any third party, you agree to reimburse ANEWTASK for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in responding to that request, except to the extent the request arises primarily from ANEWTASK's own alleged misconduct.

22. Mandatory Pre-Suit Amicable Resolution

Before filing any lawsuit, arbitration, or formal legal proceeding against ANEWTASK, you must first participate in a mandatory 30-day amicable negotiation process. To begin that process, you must send ANEWTASK a written notice describing your name and contact information, the account or listing involved if any, a detailed description of the dispute, the factual basis for your claim, and the specific relief requested. That notice must be sent using the legal notice contact information identified in Section 29 below.

23. Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Except for small claims matters properly brought on an individual basis; claims seeking temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief for intellectual property misuse; claims that by law cannot be arbitrated; and claims seeking public injunctive relief or other non-waivable remedies to the extent California law requires such claims to proceed in court, you and ANEWTASK agree to resolve disputes exclusively by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis. You and ANEWTASK waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, collective action, consolidated action, mass action, or other representative proceeding to the extent waivable by law.

Any arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its applicable consumer or commercial rules, as appropriate. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be held in Los Angeles County, California, or remotely if permitted by the rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

Public-injunctive-relief carveout. Nothing in these Terms requires arbitration of a claim for public injunctive relief or any other remedy that cannot lawfully be waived or forced into arbitration under applicable law. This carveout includes any non-waivable request for public injunctive relief relating to accessibility laws to the extent such claim must proceed in court.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending ANEWTASK a written opt-out notice within 30 days after you first agree to these Terms, using the legal notice email or mailing address listed in Section 29. Before publication, replace the placeholder legal notice contact information with a real, monitored address and email.

24. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent preempted by federal law. Any dispute not subject to arbitration, or properly brought in court under these Terms, must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there, except where applicable law gives a consumer a non-waivable right to another forum.

25. Changes to the Terms

ANEWTASK may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice by posting the revised Terms, updating the date above, emailing account holders, or providing notice through the Services. Unless otherwise stated, changes will apply prospectively after the effective date.

26. Modification or Termination of the Platform

ANEWTASK reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services, or any part or feature of the Services, at any time, with or without notice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ANEWTASK shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, discontinuance, loss of data, loss of business opportunity, or alleged loss of reputation resulting from such actions.

27. Mobile Applications and App Stores

If you access the Services through a mobile application obtained from a third-party app store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ANEWTASK only, and not with the app store provider, except as otherwise required by the applicable app store terms. If the Services are offered through the Apple App Store, you and ANEWTASK acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for maintenance or support of the application and that Apple is a third-party beneficiary of the portions of these Terms required by Apple's minimum end-user license terms.

28. Export Controls and Sanctions

You represent and warrant that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, to the extent such restrictions make your use of the Services unlawful. You agree not to use the Services in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions laws.

29. Notice for California Users; Legal Notice Contacts

Under California Civil Code section 1789.3, providers of electronic commercial services must provide, among other things, the provider name, address, telephone number, charges imposed, and complaint procedures including the telephone number and address of the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the Department of Consumer Affairs.

30. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. ANEWTASK's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.

Force majeure. ANEWTASK shall not be liable or deemed in breach for any failure or delay in performing the Services resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, earthquakes, wildfires, severe weather, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, labor disputes, public-health emergencies, governmental actions, civil unrest, or failures of third-party infrastructure providers.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than you and ANEWTASK, except where an app store provider is expressly made a third-party beneficiary under Section 27.

Controlling language. These Terms may be translated for convenience. The English-language version is the controlling and legally binding version in all respects.

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and ANEWTASK regarding the Services and supersede prior discussions or understandings on that subject. You may not assign these Terms without ANEWTASK's prior written consent. ANEWTASK may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, asset sale, financing, or by operation of law.

Electronic records and signatures will be given the same legal effect as paper records and handwritten signatures to the extent permitted by law.
