"Customer"

3. Platform Role - No Agency, No Employment

HireDo is a facilitator and technology provider only. HireDo does not provide the services and does not supervise or control professionals. Professionals are independent contractors and are not employees, partners, agents, or representatives of HireDo. Any service agreement formed is solely between the customer and the professional.

4. How Matching Works

4.1 Standard Requests

When a customer submits a HireDo Request, HireDo may share it with matching professionals. Professionals may respond with questions, availability, and pricing.

4.2 Instant Services

With Instant Services, HireDo may notify and connect a customer with nearby or available professionals in real time. Response times may vary, and HireDo does not guarantee that any professional will accept a request or that a particular result will be achieved.

5. Fees and Hire Units (Professionals Only)

Customers do not pay HireDo to submit requests or receive matches. Professionals may be required to purchase and use Hire Units to access certain paid Platform features (such as viewing leads, responding to requests, or premium tools). Hire Unit requirements and pricing may vary by service category, location, urgency, and other factors, and will be shown in the platform before a professional confirms a purchase or uses a paid feature. Purchases are generally non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

6. Customer Responsibilities

  • Provide accurate request details (location, timing, scope, and requirements).
  • Communicate respectfully and safely with professionals.
  • Verify pricing, scope, timelines, and warranties directly with the professional before hiring.
  • Comply with laws and building rules applicable to the job location.

7. Professional Responsibilities

  • Provide accurate business information, skills, availability, and qualifications.
  • Maintain any required licenses, permits, insurance, and registrations (e.g., WSIB where applicable).
  • Follow applicable laws, safety standards, and professional best practices.
  • Quote and perform work honestly and avoid misleading advertising or bait-and-switch pricing.
  • Respect customer property, privacy, and building rules.

8. Safety and Verification (No Guarantee)

HireDo may offer verification tools (such as profile checks, badges, or document uploads). However, HireDo does not guarantee identity, licensing, background, insurance status, or the quality of services. Customers are responsible for choosing professionals and confirming suitability for their project.

9. Prohibited Use and Platform Integrity

You agree not to:

  • Use the Platform for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful activity.
  • Harass, threaten, discriminate, or post hateful or violent content.
  • Create fake accounts, impersonate others, or misrepresent qualifications, pricing, or identity.
  • Attempt to bypass safety, verification, matching, or payment-related systems.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, data-mine, copy, or harvest data from the Platform.
  • Use bots, automation, or scripts to access the Platform without written permission.
  • Use the Platform to compete with HireDo by copying its features, workflows, or marketplace model.

10. Non-Circumvention and Fair Use of Leads

To protect the Platform and prevent unfair use, customers and professionals agree not to circumvent HireDo. Circumvention includes exchanging contact details to avoid the Platform, moving the job off-platform to avoid fees or Hire Units, or using information gained through HireDo to build a competing marketplace.

Where permitted by law, for a period of twelve (12) months after a match is created on the Platform, the parties agree not to use HireDo introductions for the primary purpose of bypassing HireDo. HireDo may take action including account suspension, lead access restrictions, or legal enforcement to protect its business.

11. Intellectual Property and Confidentiality

The Platform, its design, workflows, features, and content are owned by HireDo and protected by Canadian and international laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the Platform without written permission.

Feedback you provide may be used by HireDo to improve the Platform without compensation to you.

12. Reviews, Ratings, and User Content

Users may post reviews and ratings based on genuine experiences. You agree your content will be truthful and not defamatory, abusive, or misleading. HireDo may remove or moderate content that violates these terms, our guidelines, or applicable law.

13. Disputes Between Customers and Professionals

Any disputes about pricing, quality, scheduling, property damage, warranties, or performance are between the customer and professional. HireDo is not responsible for the services and is not required to mediate disputes. HireDo may, at its option, provide support tools (such as messaging records) to help resolve issues.

14. Disclaimers

  • The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
  • HireDo does not guarantee matches, outcomes, availability, pricing, or service quality.
  • HireDo does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Platform.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HireDo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption. To the extent HireDo is found liable, HireDo’s total liability for any claim will not exceed the fees actually paid by the user to HireDo for paid Platform features during the three (3) months prior to the event giving rise to the claim, except where a different limitation is required by applicable law.

16. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HireDo and its directors, officers, employees, and affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your Services, your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.

17. Suspension and Termination

HireDo may suspend or terminate accounts, restrict access to features, or remove content if we reasonably believe there is fraud, abuse, safety risk, policy violations, or legal exposure. You may stop using the Platform at any time.

18. Privacy

HireDo collects and uses information to operate the Platform, facilitate matching, and improve safety. You agree that you will only use personal information obtained through HireDo for legitimate service-related purposes and will comply with applicable Canadian privacy laws. For details, refer to HireDo’s Privacy Policy (published separately).

19. Governing Law and Courts

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict of laws rules. You agree that any legal proceeding will be brought in the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, unless prohibited by applicable law.

20. General Terms

  • Severability: If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
  • No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
  • Assignment: You may not assign these terms without HireDo’s consent. HireDo may assign these terms as part of a corporate transaction.
  • Updates: HireDo may update these terms from time to time by posting an updated version on the Platform.

Signature Not Required

These terms become legally binding when you access or use the Platform, create an account, submit a request, respond to a request, or otherwise use HireDo.
