Terms of Service

USER AGREEMENT

Welcome to the WorkerMee community. WorkerMee is based on the premise that people generally want to help their neighbors. The WorkerMee platform aims to bolster access to services and career development opportunities by connecting neighbors to get tasks done. We envision a future where stable and resilient communities flourish by working together.

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Be Respectful - Use respectful and appropriate language both in writing and in person.

Be Supportive - People you hire to do a job may not have experience or don't know the way you want the task done. Show them what you need done and give them constructive feedback to allow them to learn and do.

Be Responsible - Taking a job means someone is counting on you, and others may be counting on them. If you take a job, do your best to show up on time, do the tasks correctly, and complete the tasks to the employers' satisfaction.

Be Communicative - Use the anonymous e-mail system to work out the job details and stay in communication. If a minor is doing the work, keep their parent or guardian in CC on every communication. If plans change, let all parties know as soon as possible.

Be Safe - Follow best practices to safeguard yourself both online and in person. Do not post or accept jobs that seem unsafe, or accept jobs you are unqualified for. Clarify what safety measures are necessary before the job and who will provide any protective gear.

Be a Whistleblower - Should you notice inappropriate activity or language on any area of WorkerMee, promptly contact admin with the problem so it may be removed or resolved. admin@workermee.org

THESE TERMS CREATE A BINDING CONTRACT

1. OUR SERVICES

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully because they form a contract between you and WorkerMee LLC (the “Company”), our partners, employees, officers, directors, sponsors and affiliated companies ("us", "we", "our", and "WorkerMee").

WorkerMee is a software platform that matches job posters (“Poster”) with job seekers (“Seekers”) and provides related tools and content (the “Services.”)

By joining the WorkerMee community, you become a "Member" and are accountable to our standards of conduct ("Community Guidelines") and Terms. These Terms govern your rights and responsibilities related to WorkerMee's Services. If you are not a registered Member, you access our Services as a "Visitor". By accessing our Services as either a Member or a Visitor, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by both the Service Terms with WorkerMee LLC and the Community Guidelines.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. If you are using the Services to deliver access to content owned by a third-party, you represent that you have the right to make the access available. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organization, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization. By agreeing to these Terms, you are representing to us that you are over 13 years old.

You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and only if you have the power to form a contract with us and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so.
