Terms of Service

Last updated: August 26, 2026

In plain terms

  • Day Labor Work is a job board that connects local employers with local workers. We are not an employer, a staffing agency, or a party to any job.
  • We do not pay wages, hold funds, or guarantee that anyone gets paid or hired.
  • We do not screen, verify, or background check anyone, and a badge or rating is not a guarantee.
  • We are not responsible for what happens on a job site, including injuries, unpaid wages, damage, or theft.
  • Every job must be real, local, and performed in person in the United States. The Platform is not available in California or New York.
  • Listings and messages are scanned by automated systems for scams and abuse, so messages here are not private from us.
  • Disputes with us are settled by arbitration, individually, not in court.

This summary is here to be clear, not to replace anything. The numbered sections below are the agreement.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Day Labor Work (the "Platform"), you agree to these Terms of Service in full. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform. These Terms apply to all users, including employers, workers, and visitors, regardless of which version of the Platform they access.

The term "Platform" as used throughout these Terms refers collectively to the Day Labor Work website, the Day Labor Work iOS mobile application, the Day Labor Work Android mobile application, and any other websites, mobile applications, or digital products and services offered by Day Labor Work, whether currently available or developed and released in the future. "Day Labor Work," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Element Info Tech LLC, the company that owns and operates the Platform.

2. Permitted Use

The Platform is provided solely to help employers find day laborers and to help contractors find work. You may use the Platform only for lawful purposes and only in accordance with these Terms. Any other use is strictly prohibited.

3. Marketplace Only — We Are Not an Employer

Day Labor Work is a technology platform that connects individuals seeking work ("Workers") with individuals and businesses seeking to hire them ("Employers"). We are a marketplace only. We are not an employer, staffing agency, labor contractor, or employment agency of any kind.

  • Workers who find jobs through the Platform are independent individuals. They are not employees, agents, or representatives of Day Labor Work under any circumstances.
  • Day Labor Work does not supervise, direct, control, or manage the work performed by any Worker. All work arrangements, instructions, and oversight are solely between the Worker and the Employer.
  • Day Labor Work does not set wages, hours, or working conditions. Any pay rate shown on the Platform is set entirely by the Employer.
  • Day Labor Work does not conduct background checks, verify credentials, confirm identity, or screen Workers or Employers in any way. You are solely responsible for evaluating the people you hire or work for.
  • Day Labor Work is not responsible for any injury, accident, property damage, theft, fraud, dispute, non-payment, or any other harm that occurs before, during, or after a job arranged through the Platform.
  • Any agreement formed between a Worker and an Employer through the Platform is a private agreement between those two parties. Day Labor Work is not a party to that agreement and has no obligations under it.

By using the Platform, you expressly acknowledge and agree that Day Labor Work is acting solely as a neutral marketplace intermediary and that you waive any claim against Day Labor Work arising from a work relationship, job performance, payment dispute, or personal injury connected to any job arranged through the Platform.

4. Geographic Restrictions — California and New York

Day Labor Work does not conduct business, provide services, or operate in the State of California or the State of New York. This Platform is not available for use by residents of California or New York, and we do not intentionally advertise, market, solicit, or target users in either of those states.

  • If you are located in, reside in, or are accessing this Platform from the State of California or the State of New York, you are not authorized to use this Platform and must exit immediately.
  • Day Labor Work makes no representation that the Platform is appropriate or available for use in California or New York, and expressly excludes those states from its service area.
  • Any use of the Platform by a California or New York resident is unauthorized and in violation of these Terms. Day Labor Work disclaims all liability for any claims arising under California or New York law, including but not limited to claims under the California Labor Code, California AB5, or any New York labor or employment statutes.
  • Day Labor Work does not accept California or New York residents as registered users. Any account found to belong to a California or New York resident may be terminated immediately without notice or refund.

By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are not a resident of California or New York and are not accessing the Platform from either of those states.

Use from those states is at your own risk. If you use the Platform from California or New York anyway, you do so without authorization and entirely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Day Labor Work and Element Info Tech LLC have no liability of any kind for anything arising out of that use, including injury, unpaid wages, misclassification, property damage, or any claim under the California Labor Code, California AB5, the New York Labor Law, or any other statute of either state.

We do not consent to jurisdiction there. We have no offices, employees, agents, property, or bank accounts in California or New York, we do not target either state, and we do not purposefully avail ourselves of either state's markets. Nothing in this document, and no unauthorized account that reaches the Platform from either state, is consent to personal jurisdiction or venue in a California or New York court, or agreement that either state's law governs. Missouri law and the arbitration section govern, and you waive any objection that Missouri is an inconvenient forum.

Failing to catch it is not permission. We have no duty to detect or block a user's location, and any screening we do is a courtesy rather than an obligation. If an account from California or New York is created, used, or left in place for any length of time, that is not consent, not a waiver of this section, not a course of dealing, and not an admission that we do business in either state. We may terminate such an account at any time without notice or refund.

If you misrepresent where you are, you cover us. Creating an account is your representation that you are not in California or New York. If that representation is false, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from every claim, loss, penalty, and expense, including reasonable attorney fees, that arises from your use of the Platform from either state or from work performed there.

If a law applies anyway. If a court or arbitrator finds that a mandatory law of California or New York applies despite this section, it applies only to the minimum extent that law requires, every other part of this section stays in force, and nothing here is a waiver of any protection we would otherwise have.

5. No Background Checks — Use at Your Own Risk

Day Labor Work does not perform background checks, criminal history checks, identity verification, reference checks, drug screenings, driving record checks, sex offender registry checks, or any other form of screening on Workers or Employers who register on the Platform.

  • Any profile information provided by a Worker or Employer is self-reported and has not been verified by Day Labor Work. We make no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of any user-provided information.
  • Employers are solely responsible for conducting any background checks, verifying identity, confirming skills, and taking any other steps they deem necessary before allowing a Worker onto their property or job site.
  • Workers are solely responsible for evaluating the safety and legitimacy of any job before accepting it. Day Labor Work makes no guarantee that any Employer is trustworthy, financially capable of paying, or operating lawfully.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any harm, loss, theft, injury, or damage that results from a user's reliance on unverified information or their failure to conduct independent due diligence before engaging with another user.

By using this Platform, you acknowledge that you are engaging with other users at your own risk and that Day Labor Work has no duty to screen, verify, or vouch for any user on the Platform.

6. Payment Disputes

All payment arrangements for work performed through the Platform are made exclusively between the Worker and the Employer. Day Labor Work is not a party to any payment agreement, does not process payments between Workers and Employers, and has no control over whether payment is made, withheld, or disputed.

  • Day Labor Work is not responsible for non-payment, underpayment, late payment, or any dispute over wages or compensation between a Worker and an Employer.
  • Day Labor Work does not act as an escrow service, payment processor, or guarantor of any wages or fees owed by one user to another.
  • Workers who believe they have not been paid for work performed must seek resolution directly with the Employer or through the appropriate legal channels. Day Labor Work will not mediate, arbitrate, or adjudicate payment disputes between users.
  • Employers who believe a Worker did not perform as agreed must seek resolution directly with the Worker. Day Labor Work has no obligation to intervene in or resolve such disputes.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any financial loss, unpaid wages, or damages of any kind arising from a payment dispute between users.

You agree that any payment claim against another user is solely your responsibility to pursue and that Day Labor Work bears no financial obligation or liability in connection with any such claim.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:

  • Use any automated tool, script, bot, crawler, scraper, spider, or similar technology to access, collect, copy, or harvest any data, content, or personal information from the Platform.
  • Systematically download, store, or redistribute user profiles, contact information (including phone numbers and email addresses), or any other personally identifiable information belonging to workers or employers on the Platform.
  • Access the Platform through automated means to bypass rate limits, usage caps, or any access controls, whether through scripts, browser automation tools, or any other method.
  • Use data obtained from the Platform to contact workers or employers outside of the Platform for commercial purposes without their explicit consent.
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit any data obtained from the Platform.
  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, suspensions, or access restrictions.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or derive source code or proprietary algorithms from the Platform.
  • Access any part of the Platform that you are not authorized to access, including other users' private data.

8. Contact Information and Privacy

Phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal contact details on the Platform belong to individual users. A worker's phone number is never shown to employers. Phone numbers are collected only to verify an account and keep it secure, and employers and workers communicate through the Platform's messaging system. No subscription of any kind grants access to a worker's phone number. You may only use contact information obtained through the Platform to communicate with users in the context of legitimate job inquiries or employment. Any other use, including bulk outreach, spam, or resale, is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination and legal action.

9. Monitoring and Enforcement

Day Labor Work monitors account activity to detect misuse, including unusual access patterns, abnormal data retrieval rates, and automated behavior. We reserve the right to:

  • Suspend or permanently ban any account engaged in prohibited conduct, without notice or refund.
  • Report violations to law enforcement where applicable.
  • Pursue civil remedies, including injunctive relief and damages, against users who violate these Terms.
  • Retain logs of account activity as evidence in legal proceedings.

Violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or other applicable data protection laws may result in criminal and civil liability in addition to Platform enforcement.

10. Subscriptions and Payments

Certain features require an active paid subscription. Subscription fees are refundable only as described in Section 35, Refund and Cancellation Policy. Day Labor Work reserves the right to change pricing at any time with reasonable notice.

11. Account Termination

Day Labor Work may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Grounds for termination include but are not limited to: violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, abusive behavior toward other users, or any conduct that Day Labor Work determines is harmful to the Platform or its users. Upon termination, your right to access the Platform ceases immediately.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties and Technical Issues

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. Day Labor Work specifically does not warrant that:

  • The Platform will be continuously available, uninterrupted, or accessible at any particular time or from any particular location.
  • The Platform will be error-free, glitch-free, or free of bugs, defects, crashes, or harmful components.
  • Any job postings, applications, messages, notifications, or alerts transmitted through the Platform will be delivered accurately, completely, or in a timely manner.
  • Search results, job matches, or algorithmic recommendations will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your purposes.
  • The Platform will be compatible with your specific device, operating system, browser, or network configuration.
  • Any data, content, or account information stored on the Platform will be preserved without loss or corruption.

Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any loss, damage, missed opportunity, or harm of any kind resulting from:

  • Service outages, planned or unplanned, whether caused by Day Labor Work, a third-party provider, or forces outside anyone's control.
  • Technical glitches, software bugs, server errors, database failures, or platform malfunctions, regardless of cause or duration.
  • Failed, delayed, duplicated, or misdirected notifications, emails, push notifications, or in-platform alerts.
  • Loss of job applications, messages, account data, uploaded files, or any other content resulting from a technical failure, database error, or system malfunction.
  • Outages, failures, or degraded performance of any third-party service provider used to operate the Platform, including cloud hosting, database, authentication, payment processing, or content delivery services, even if such failures were foreseeable.
  • Scheduled or emergency maintenance windows that make the Platform temporarily unavailable, with or without advance notice.
  • Your inability to access the Platform, submit a job application, send a message, or take any other time-sensitive action due to technical issues of any kind.
  • Errors, omissions, or outdated information in the Platform's content, listings, search results, or displayed data.
  • Missed job opportunities, lost income, lost business, or any other economic harm arising from Platform downtime, delayed notifications, or technical errors.

Day Labor Work makes no representation that the Platform will meet your requirements or that results obtained through it will be accurate or reliable. Your use of the Platform is entirely at your own risk. This disclaimer applies to all versions of the Platform, including the website, iOS application, Android application, and any other digital product offered by Day Labor Work.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Day Labor Work and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes but is not limited to lost wages, lost profits, personal injury, property damage, data loss, or any harm resulting from interactions with other users on or off the Platform.

In no event shall Day Labor Work's total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform exceed the greater of (a) one hundred dollars ($100.00) or (b) the total amount you paid to Day Labor Work in the twelve months preceding the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which the claim is brought, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis.

14. Changes to These Terms

Day Labor Work may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will notify users of material changes via email or a notice on the Platform.

15. Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use the Platform in any capacity, whether as a Worker or an Employer. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be terminated immediately. Day Labor Work is not responsible for any misrepresentation of age by a user.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflict of law principles. You agree that any legal action, claim, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri. You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection to venue in Jackson County, Missouri.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Day Labor Work and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your use of or access to the Platform.
  • Any work arrangement, job, or transaction you enter into with another user through the Platform.
  • Any injury, accident, property damage, theft, or harm caused by you or occurring at a job site connected to your use of the Platform.
  • Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation.
  • Any claim by a third party arising from your conduct, your content, or your interactions with other users.
  • Any misrepresentation you make in connection with your account or profile.

This indemnification obligation survives termination of your account and these Terms. Day Labor Work reserves the right to assume exclusive control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate fully with Day Labor Work's defense of any such claim.

18. Tax Responsibility

Day Labor Work is not an employer and does not withhold, collect, or remit any taxes on behalf of Workers or Employers. Workers are solely responsible for reporting and paying all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on any income earned through jobs arranged via the Platform, including self-employment taxes where applicable.

  • Day Labor Work does not issue W-2 forms, 1099 forms, or any other tax documents to Workers or Employers in connection with work arranged through the Platform.
  • Employers are solely responsible for determining and complying with any applicable tax withholding, reporting, or payment obligations they may have in connection with Workers they hire.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any tax liability, penalty, or obligation incurred by any user arising from work arranged through the Platform.

You are strongly encouraged to consult a qualified tax professional regarding your obligations. By using the Platform, you agree that Day Labor Work bears no responsibility for your tax compliance.

19. Workers' Compensation

Day Labor Work is not an employer and does not provide workers' compensation insurance, disability insurance, unemployment insurance, or any other employment-related insurance or benefits to Workers. Workers are not employees of Day Labor Work and are not entitled to any workers' compensation coverage from Day Labor Work under any circumstances.

  • If a Worker is injured while performing work arranged through the Platform, Day Labor Work has no obligation to pay medical expenses, lost wages, or any other compensation related to that injury.
  • Employers are solely responsible for determining whether they are legally required to carry workers' compensation coverage for Workers they hire and for complying with all applicable workers' compensation laws in their jurisdiction.
  • By using the Platform, Workers expressly acknowledge and agree that they are not covered by any workers' compensation policy held by Day Labor Work and that they waive any claim against Day Labor Work for work-related injury or illness.

20. No Insurance Provided

Day Labor Work does not provide, arrange, or require any form of insurance for Workers, Employers, job sites, or work performed through the Platform. This includes but is not limited to general liability insurance, professional liability insurance, property insurance, health insurance, accident insurance, and workers' compensation insurance.

  • Workers assume all risk of injury, accident, or loss in connection with any work they perform through the Platform and are solely responsible for obtaining any insurance coverage they deem appropriate.
  • Employers assume all risk of property damage, theft, injury, or loss caused by or related to Workers they hire through the Platform and are solely responsible for maintaining adequate insurance coverage for their property and job sites.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, or claim that would have been covered by insurance had any party maintained appropriate coverage.

21. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Mandatory Arbitration. You and Day Labor Work agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform will be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in a court of law. This applies to every dispute of any size, including one that could otherwise be filed in small claims court, and neither of us will file a claim against the other in any court. The arbitration will take place in Jackson County, Missouri, or by video conference at either party's request. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. You and Day Labor Work each agree that any claims must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, mass action, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Day Labor Work within 30 days of first creating your account. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Arbitration Confidentiality. All aspects of any arbitration proceeding under this section, including the existence of the dispute, all filings, testimony, evidence, the arbitrator's decision, and any settlement reached, are strictly confidential. Neither party may disclose any such information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law or to enforce an arbitration award in court. Neither party may issue any press release or public statement regarding the existence or outcome of any arbitration proceeding.

The arbitrator decides what is arbitrable. Any question about whether this section applies, whether it is enforceable, or whether a particular claim must be arbitrated is decided by the arbitrator, not by a court. The only exception is the class action waiver above, which a court may decide.

Coordinated filings are handled in batches. If 25 or more claims of a similar kind are filed against us by or with the help of the same lawyer or coordinated group, the claims are resolved in batches of no more than 50, one batch at a time, with a single arbitrator for each batch and the outcomes of the first batches used to try to settle the rest. Filing fees for later batches are not owed until that batch begins. This applies only to coordinated filings and never delays an individual claim brought on its own.

Bad faith claims. If the arbitrator finds that a claim, a defense, or a filing was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the arbitrator may award the other party its reasonable attorney fees and costs, to the extent permitted by the applicable rules and law.

22. Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its design, layout, code, graphics, logos, trademarks, service marks, and all content created by Day Labor Work, is owned exclusively by Day Labor Work and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.

  • You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, republish, or exploit any portion of the Platform or its content without the prior written consent of Day Labor Work.
  • The Day Labor Work name, logo, and brand are trademarks of Day Labor Work. You may not use them without express written permission.
  • Any unauthorized use of the Platform's intellectual property may result in immediate account termination and legal action including injunctive relief and damages.

23. User Content

Users may submit content to the Platform including profile descriptions, photos, job postings, reviews, and messages ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant Day Labor Work a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content solely for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform.

  • You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit your User Content and that it does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.
  • Day Labor Work does not verify, endorse, or take responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any User Content. All User Content is the sole responsibility of the user who submitted it.
  • Day Labor Work reserves the right to remove, edit, or refuse any User Content at any time and for any reason, without notice or liability.
  • You may not submit User Content that is false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, or in violation of any applicable law.
  • Nothing in these Terms prohibits you from posting honest, factually accurate feedback, opinions, or reviews about your experience with the Platform. You agree, however, not to make, publish, or distribute statements about Day Labor Work, its products, or its employees that you know to be false and that could cause reputational harm. This restriction applies only to knowingly false factual statements and does not restrict genuine, truthful opinions or experiences.
  • The Platform does not address ownership of work product, physical deliverables, or intellectual property created by a Worker for an Employer during the performance of a job (such as software, creative works, designs, or written materials). Ownership of any such work product is solely a matter between the Worker and the Employer. Day Labor Work makes no representation about work product ownership. Employers who wish to secure rights to work product must enter into separate written agreements with Workers independently.

24. Job Site Safety

Day Labor Work has no presence at, control over, or knowledge of actual job sites where work is performed. Employers are solely and exclusively responsible for maintaining a safe working environment for any Worker they hire through the Platform.

  • Employers must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local occupational health and safety laws and regulations, including OSHA requirements, at all job sites where Workers are present.
  • Employers must provide Workers with any safety equipment, protective gear, training, or information required by law or reasonably necessary for the work being performed.
  • Workers are responsible for assessing the safety of a job site before beginning work and for refusing work they believe to be unsafe. Workers may not bring claims against Day Labor Work for injuries or hazards encountered at a job site.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any injury, illness, accident, or death occurring at or in connection with any job arranged through the Platform, regardless of cause.
  • Employers must comply with all applicable federal and state child labor laws, including the FLSA's restrictions on hazardous occupations (29 C.F.R. Part 570) and applicable Missouri child labor statutes (RSMo § 294.011 et seq.), in connection with any job posted or filled through the Platform. Employers represent and warrant that no job posted on the Platform involves tasks legally restricted from being performed by minors under 18, or that if such restrictions exist, the Employer will independently verify that any Worker assigned to those tasks meets applicable age requirements.

25. No Guarantee of Work or Results

Day Labor Work makes no guarantee that Workers will receive job offers, be hired, or earn any particular amount of income through the Platform. Day Labor Work makes no guarantee that Employers will receive applications, find qualified Workers, or have jobs filled within any particular timeframe.

  • Subscription fees paid to Day Labor Work are for access to the Platform only and do not guarantee any specific outcome, number of applicants, job matches, or hires.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any failure to find work, fill a position, or achieve any particular result through use of the Platform.

26. Force Majeure

Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, fires, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, government orders or regulations, war, terrorism, civil unrest, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, third-party service disruptions, or any other event outside Day Labor Work's reasonable control. In such an event, Day Labor Work's obligations are suspended for the duration of the force majeure event.

27. Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials, including your email address and password. You agree to notify Day Labor Work immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials or from any unauthorized access to your account.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. Sharing your account credentials with others is prohibited.
  • Day Labor Work will never ask you for your password via email, phone, or any channel other than the Platform's official login page.

28. Communications Consent

By creating an account on Day Labor Work, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including but not limited to:

  • Transactional emails such as account verification, job notifications, application updates, and security alerts.
  • Platform announcements regarding new features, policy changes, or service updates.
  • Promotional communications regarding Day Labor Work products and services, where permitted by law.

You may opt out of promotional communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by updating your notification preferences in your account settings. You may not opt out of transactional communications that are necessary for the operation of your account.

SMS / Text Message Communications

The SMS program name is Day Labor Work, operated by Element Info Tech LLC. Day Labor Work may send SMS text messages to the mobile phone number you provide during account registration for the following purposes: two factor authentication and one-time verification codes during account registration and password resets, job confirmation reminders, and account notifications such as security and lockout alerts. Day Labor Work does not send marketing or promotional text messages. SMS is sent through our messaging providers, currently Twilio for platform messages and Google Firebase for phone verification codes.

  • Opt-in: By providing your mobile phone number during account registration at daylaborwork.com, or in the Day Labor Work mobile apps, you consent to receive SMS messages from Day Labor Work at that number for the purposes described above.

You may turn off job and account text messages at any time under SMS Messages in your account settings.
  • Replies: Some messages ask you to reply. A job confirmation reminder asks you to reply to confirm that you will be at the job, and your reply is what tells the employer you are coming. Replying is optional, and a reply you send is a text message your carrier may charge you for at its normal rate.
  • Opt-out: You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message we send. After opting out, you will receive one final confirmation message and no further SMS messages will be sent to your number.

For more information on how we handle your personal data, including your phone number, see our Privacy Policy.

29. Right to Refuse Service

Day Labor Work reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse, suspend, or terminate service to any user, reject or remove any job posting or profile, or deny access to any feature of the Platform at any time and for any reason, with or without notice and with or without explanation. This right includes but is not limited to:

  • Declining to approve a new account registration.
  • Removing a job posting that Day Labor Work deems inappropriate, unsafe, or in violation of these Terms.
  • Suspending a user whose conduct Day Labor Work determines is harmful to the Platform or its users.
  • Terminating access for any user without cause and without liability to that user.

Day Labor Work's exercise of this right shall not entitle any user to a refund of any subscription fees paid, except as required by applicable law.

30. Anti-Discrimination

Day Labor Work is committed to providing a platform that is free from unlawful discrimination. You agree that you will not use the Platform to discriminate against any Worker or Employer on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

  • Employers may not post job listings that express or imply a preference for or against any applicant based on a protected characteristic.
  • Employers may not refuse to hire, decline to consider, or otherwise discriminate against any Worker based on a protected characteristic.
  • Workers may not refuse to apply for or perform work based on discriminatory criteria related to the Employer's protected characteristics.
  • Any account found to be engaged in discriminatory conduct may be terminated immediately. Day Labor Work reserves the right to report discriminatory conduct to applicable authorities.

Day Labor Work is not an employer and does not control hiring decisions. However, Employers who use this Platform remain solely responsible for their compliance with all applicable anti-discrimination and equal opportunity employment laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

31. Work Authorization

By registering as a Worker on the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are legally authorized to work in the United States. Day Labor Work does not verify work authorization and is not responsible for determining whether any Worker is legally permitted to work.

  • Employers are solely responsible for verifying that any Worker they hire through the Platform is legally authorized to work in the United States, including completing any required I-9 verification or other documentation required by law.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any violation of immigration laws or work authorization requirements by any user of the Platform.
  • Any account found to have misrepresented work authorization status will be terminated immediately.

32. Non-Circumvention

The Platform connects Workers and Employers. You agree that you will not use information obtained through the Platform to circumvent Day Labor Work or to establish direct ongoing working relationships that are intended to avoid using or paying for the Platform.

35. Refund and Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your subscription at any time from Manage your plan in your account. What happens to the money depends on how long you have been a paying subscriber.

Money back window. If you cancel within the first 7 days of your first paid subscription, that payment is refunded in full and your plan ends immediately. On a yearly plan the window is 30 days instead of 7. No reason is required and no conditions apply. The window is measured from your first payment to Day Labor Work, not from the start of each billing period, and one refund is available per account.

Outside that window:

  • If you cancel after the money back window has closed, you keep access to paid features through the end of the billing period you have already paid for, and the subscription does not renew. No partial refunds are issued for unused time.
  • Renewal charges fall outside the money back window, which runs from your first payment only. Cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge.
  • If your account is terminated by Day Labor Work for a violation of these Terms, no refund will be issued for any subscription fees paid.
  • Day Labor Work reserves the right to modify subscription pricing at any time. Price changes will be communicated with at least 30 days' notice and will apply to the next billing cycle after notice is given.
  • If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer instead of contacting us first, we may suspend your account immediately and keep it suspended until the dispute resolves in our favor or the amount is paid. You remain responsible for the disputed amount, the chargeback fee our processor charges us, and the reasonable cost of responding to the dispute. Fees are exclusive of tax, and any sales, use, or similar tax on them is yours to pay.

If you believe you were charged in error, contact us through the contact page within 30 days of the charge and we will review your request.

36. Profile Accuracy

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your account profile is accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times.

  • Workers must accurately represent their skills, experience, certifications, availability, and location. Misrepresenting qualifications to obtain a job is grounds for immediate account termination.
  • Employers must accurately represent the nature of the work, the job location, the pay rate, and the expected hours. Misrepresenting a job to attract applicants is grounds for immediate account termination.
  • Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any harm caused by a user's reliance on inaccurate profile information submitted by another user.
  • Day Labor Work reserves the right to remove or correct profile information that it determines to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of these Terms.

  • If you believe a review posted about you is false or defamatory, your remedy is against the user who posted it, not against Day Labor Work. You may report a review you believe violates these Terms and Day Labor Work will evaluate it at its sole discretion.

By submitting a review, you represent that it is based on your genuine firsthand experience and that you have not been compensated or incentivized to submit it.

59. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Day Labor Work regarding your use of the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein. No waiver by Day Labor Work of any breach or default by you shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

60. Statute of Limitations

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action first accrues. If not commenced within this period, the claim is permanently barred, regardless of any contrary statute of limitations under applicable state or federal law.

61. Jury Trial Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND DAY LABOR WORK EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIM, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.

62. Wage and Hour Compliance and Worker Classification

63. Licensed Trades and Professional Permits

Certain types of work require a valid professional license, trade certification, or permit under applicable federal, state, or local law, including but not limited to electrical work, plumbing, HVAC, general contracting, roofing, and pest control.

Your continued use of the Platform after any modification constitutes your acceptance of those changes. Day Labor Work will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant changes, but is not required to do so. No compensation or refund obligation arises solely from platform modification or discontinuation, except as required by applicable law.

66. Injunctive and Equitable Relief

Notwithstanding the mandatory arbitration agreement in Section 21, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration, without waiving the right to arbitrate the underlying dispute.

Day Labor Work expressly reserves the right to seek immediate injunctive relief, without bond or other security, in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce:

  • Protection of its intellectual property rights under Section 22.
  • Enforcement of the non-circumvention provisions of Section 32.
  • Prevention of unauthorized data access, scraping, or harvesting under Sections 7 and 9.
  • Any other violation of these Terms that would cause irreparable harm not adequately remedied by monetary damages alone.

You acknowledge that violations of the provisions listed above would cause irreparable injury to Day Labor Work for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and you consent to the granting of injunctive relief without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

67. Attorney's Fees

Except as expressly provided in these Terms or required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorney's fees, costs, and expenses in connection with any dispute, arbitration, or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

  • If Day Labor Work is the prevailing party in any legal proceeding or arbitration arising from your breach of these Terms, you agree to reimburse Day Labor Work for all reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other legal expenses it incurs in connection with that proceeding.
  • If you file a claim against Day Labor Work that is determined by the arbitrator or court to be frivolous, brought in bad faith, or without a reasonable legal basis, you agree to pay Day Labor Work's reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in defending against that claim.
  • If you bring any claim, counterclaim, or proceeding against Day Labor Work and it ends any way other than a decision in your favor on the merits, including one that is dismissed on any ground, withdrawn, or abandoned, you agree to pay Day Labor Work's reasonable attorney's fees, arbitration fees, expert fees, and costs, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The same applies if Day Labor Work must enforce these Terms against you, including compelling arbitration after you file somewhere you agreed not to file, or collecting an award or judgment.
  • Nothing in this section limits any right Day Labor Work may have to seek attorney's fees under applicable law, including in connection with injunctive relief proceedings under Section 66.

68. Assumption of Risk and Physical Harm Release

Day Labor Work connects Workers with Employers but has no presence at, knowledge of, or control over the physical conditions or activities at any job site. By registering as a Worker and using the Platform to find and accept jobs, you expressly acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of day labor work, including:

  • Meeting and performing physical labor for employers you do not know personally and who have not been vetted, screened, or verified by Day Labor Work.

  • Performing physically demanding or potentially hazardous work, including lifting, construction, landscaping, cleaning, demolition, and similar activities.
  • Exposure to unknown environmental conditions, equipment, materials, or hazards at an employer's location.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Workers voluntarily and expressly release, discharge, and hold harmless Day Labor Work and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to: (a) any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, or death suffered by a Worker in connection with any job arranged through the Platform; (b) any theft, robbery, assault, or criminal act directed at a Worker by an Employer or any third party encountered through the Platform; or (c) any property damage or loss occurring at or in connection with a job site. Workers acknowledge that they are voluntarily assuming all such risks and that Day Labor Work is not an insurer, guarantor, or protector of Worker safety. This release does not apply to harm caused by Day Labor Work's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Unknown claims. You give up the protection of California Civil Code section 1542 and of any similar law in any other state, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." You accept that you may later learn facts you do not know today, and you release us anyway.

69. No Duty to Monitor, Investigate, or Warn

Day Labor Work does not assume, and hereby expressly disclaims, any affirmative duty to:

  • Monitor, surveil, or investigate the conduct, history, criminal record, or character of any user, whether Worker or Employer.
  • Warn users about potentially dangerous, fraudulent, or dishonest other users, even if Day Labor Work has received prior reports or complaints about them.
  • Proactively identify, investigate, or remove dangerous or fraudulent listings, profiles, or users.
  • Guarantee that any safety feature, reporting tool, monitoring system, or enforcement action will prevent harm to any user.

The fact that Day Labor Work provides a reporting mechanism, conducts monitoring for platform abuse, or takes enforcement action against some users does not create any duty of care, duty to warn, or duty to investigate with respect to any particular user or incident. Day Labor Work's safety and enforcement features are entirely voluntary and are provided as a convenience, not as a guarantee of safety or a commitment to prevent harm.

No user may assert a claim against Day Labor Work based on its failure to detect, investigate, remove, or warn about any other user or listing, regardless of what Day Labor Work knew or should have known. This disclaimer applies to all legal theories, including negligence, negligent undertaking, negligent enablement, and products liability.

70. Business Entity Authorization

If you are registering on the Platform or accepting these Terms on behalf of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or any other legal entity ("Business Entity"), you represent and warrant that:

  • You have full legal authority to bind the Business Entity to these Terms of Service.
  • Your acceptance of these Terms constitutes a legally binding obligation of the Business Entity enforceable against it.
  • You are at least 18 years of age and are otherwise eligible to enter into binding contracts under applicable law.

If you do not have authority to bind the Business Entity, you may not accept these Terms or use the Platform on its behalf. All actions taken through an account associated with a Business Entity are deemed to be actions of and binding upon that Business Entity. Day Labor Work may, at its sole discretion, require written proof of authority to act on behalf of a Business Entity, and failure to provide such proof may result in suspension or termination of the account.

71. FCRA — Platform Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

The Platform is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Information available on the Platform, including Worker profiles, work history, reviews, and ratings, does not constitute a "consumer report" under the FCRA and may not be used as a substitute for one.

  • You may not use any information obtained from the Platform as the basis for an adverse employment action, denial of housing, denial of credit, or any other purpose for which the FCRA requires use of a consumer report from a licensed consumer reporting agency.
  • You may not represent to any third party that information from the Platform constitutes a background check, criminal history report, credit report, or other consumer report.
  • If you intend to conduct a formal background check on a Worker, you must use a properly licensed consumer reporting agency that complies with all FCRA requirements, including required disclosures and written authorization from the Worker.

Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any FCRA violation or any claim arising from any party's use or misuse of Platform data for employment screening or any other purpose requiring a permissible-purpose consumer report.

72. Missouri Day Labor Services Act

Day Labor Work is a technology marketplace and does not dispatch, assign, or place Workers with Employers. Day Labor Work does not employ Workers, does not direct their work, does not set their wages, and is not a party to any employment arrangement. Day Labor Work is not a "day labor service agency" as that term may be defined under the Missouri Day Labor Services Act (RSMo §§ 290.525–290.535) or any similar statute.

Employers who hire Workers through the Platform for same-day or short-term assignments may independently be subject to obligations under the Missouri Day Labor Services Act or similar statutes in other jurisdictions, including but not limited to:

  • Providing Workers with written notice of the wage rate, job location, and nature of work before the assignment begins.
  • Complying with all required pay periods and payment methods under Missouri law.
  • Obtaining any required registrations or licenses applicable to day labor placement in the relevant jurisdiction.

Day Labor Work makes no representation that Employers are or are not subject to the Missouri Day Labor Services Act. Employers are solely responsible for determining and complying with all applicable labor and employment laws in the jurisdiction where work is performed. Day Labor Work shall not be liable for any violation of the Missouri Day Labor Services Act or any similar statute by any user.

73. Language and Translations

These Terms, and the listings, labels, descriptions, and other content on the Platform, are written and maintained in English. English is the official and controlling language of these Terms and of your relationship with Day Labor Work.

For the convenience of our users, the Platform may display a Spanish version, or other translated versions, of these Terms and of other content. These translations are provided on a best-effort basis and may be produced in whole or in part by automated translation tools. We do not promise or guarantee that any translation is accurate, complete, current, or free of errors.

If there is any conflict, discrepancy, ambiguity, or difference in meaning between the English version and any translated version, the English version governs and controls in all cases.

You understand and agree that you rely on any translated version at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Day Labor Work and Element Info Tech LLC are not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, dispute, misunderstanding, missed obligation, or other issue that results from or relates to a translation error, a mistranslation, or your reliance on a translated version rather than the English version. All translations are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind.

If you do not fully understand any part of these Terms, any listing, or any other content in your preferred language, you should review the English version or seek your own assistance before relying on it or using the Platform.

74. Local, In Person Work Only. No Remote or Freelance Jobs

Every job on the Platform must require the worker to be physically present at a real street address in the United States, on a stated date, doing physical work. If the work can be done from a phone or a laptop, it may not be posted here, offered here, or accepted here.

This bars remote, work from home, hybrid, virtual, and online listings of every kind. It bars device based tasks such as data entry, typing, transcription, captcha solving, surveys, app testing, social media posting or liking, and review writing. It bars anything that moves money through a worker, including payment processing, funds transfer, check cashing, gift card buying, and cryptocurrency, and it bars package receiving, reshipping, and mail forwarding, mystery shopping, product testing paid by check, and recruiting or referral schemes whose real product is signing up other people.

The test is where the work happens, not what the trade is. Skilled and technical work is permitted when it is performed in person at the job site, including computer repair and service calls, on site IT and help desk work, network technicians and engineers, and developers or administrators working at the employer's place of business. What is barred is the same work delivered over the internet from anywhere: remote IT or help desk support, remote or offshore development, remote design, writing, translation, bookkeeping, marketing, or video editing, virtual assistant work, remote customer service, and online tutoring. Using the Platform to outsource or offshore a task is prohibited on the same ground.

A listing that violates this section is removed without notice, and the account that posted it may be removed permanently and without refund. Where the conduct appears criminal, we report it to law enforcement.

75. United States Only. No Foreign Employers

The Platform operates only in the United States. Workers must be physically present in the United States and legally authorized to work here. Employers must be physically located in the United States and must be a United States resident or a business formed or registered in a United States state, with a real United States street address and phone number of their own, a United States taxpayer identification number available on request, and jobs performed at United States addresses.

No one may use a VPN, a proxy, a forwarding address, a virtual phone number, or another person's account to appear to be in the United States, and no one may post on behalf of, at the direction of, or for the benefit of a person or business located outside the United States. You also confirm you are not located in a country subject to a United States embargo and are not on any United States government list of restricted or sanctioned parties.

We may verify location and identity, and demand proof of any of the above, at any time, and we may hold or close an account while we wait. An account operated from outside the United States is treated as fraud rather than as a mistake and is removed permanently, without refund. This section is about where a user and a job actually are. It is not a test of anyone's citizenship or immigration status.

76. Personal Information, Identity Documents and Scams

Never give personal information to someone you have not already worked for and confirmed is legitimate. That includes your home address, personal phone number, date of birth, Social Security number, photographs of a driver license, passport, or work authorization document, bank account or routing numbers, and payment app logins. Keep the conversation in Platform messaging until an actual working relationship exists.

An employer may need a Social Security number after a worker is actually hired, for a lawful purpose such as a Form I-9, issuing a Form W-2 to an employee, or collecting a Form W-9 from an independent contractor so a Form 1099 can be issued. It is never needed to apply, to be considered, or to be offered work, and it must never be sent through Platform messaging. Employers may not request it, or any identity document, through the Platform.

Walk away and report the account if anyone asks you to pay for a job, sends a payment and asks for part of it back, asks for a bank login or a texted verification code, offers a large amount of money for very little work, pushes you off the Platform immediately, or demands identity documents before hiring you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Day Labor Work and Element Info Tech LLC are not responsible or liable for identity theft, fraud, financial loss, a stolen or misused Social Security number, a compromised bank or payment account, or any criminal or malicious use of information you chose to give another user, whether that user was a real employer, an impostor, or someone who created an account for that purpose.

77. Automated and AI Screening of Listings and Messages

We use automated systems, including artificial intelligence, to scan content on the Platform for scams, fraud, and abuse. This covers every job listing and every message sent between employers and workers. Listings posted from free employer accounts are screened automatically before or shortly after they go live, and listings from paid accounts are screened as well.

Screening looks for requests for Social Security numbers, identity documents, or bank details, known scam patterns such as advance payments and overpayment refunds and gift card or cryptocurrency requests, attempts to move a conversation off the Platform to evade these protections, listings for remote or otherwise prohibited work, impersonation and fake businesses, harassment and threats, and requests for illegal or unsafe work.

When content is flagged we may hold, delay, or block a message, refuse or remove a listing, warn, suspend, or close an account, and escalate the content for human review, and we may report it to law enforcement. By using the Platform you acknowledge that messages sent through it are not private from Day Labor Work, and you agree not to attempt to evade, disable, or defeat this screening.

Screening is imperfect and is offered as a safety measure, not a guarantee. It can miss harmful content and it can flag content that is harmless, and a message may be delayed or blocked in error. Nothing in this section creates a duty to monitor, to detect any particular thing, or to protect you from another user, and Section 69 still applies. Your own judgment about who you are dealing with is the protection that matters most.

78. Mobile Apps and App Store Terms

We grant you a personal, revocable, non transferable, non exclusive license to use the Day Labor Work iOS and Android apps on a device you own or control, for your own use of the Platform. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or redistribute the apps, and you must follow the usage rules of the store you installed from.

For the iOS app, these Terms are between you and Day Labor Work only, never with Apple. We alone are responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for it. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price, and to the fullest extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation. We, not Apple, are responsible for any claim relating to the app, including product liability, a failure to meet a legal requirement, and a claim under consumer protection or privacy law, and for handling any third party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights. Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as they apply to the iOS app and may enforce them against you. You confirm you are not in a country subject to a United States embargo and are not on a United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

For the Android app, the equivalent applies to Google: these Terms are between you and Day Labor Work, and Google is not responsible for the app, its content, or any claim relating to it.

79. Identity and Business Verification

We may ask any user at any time for evidence that they are who they say they are and that their jobs or claims are real, including a business registration, a license, proof of insurance, a physical address, a working phone number, a taxpayer identification number, or identity verification. We may hold listings or applications, suspend the account, or close it while we wait.

Refusing a reasonable request, or giving us information that turns out to be false, is a breach of these Terms on its own. We ask for verification through the Platform's own tools and never through a message from another user, so a request for your identity documents that arrives in a chat is a scam no matter what it claims we require.

80. No Third Party Beneficiaries

These Terms are between you and Day Labor Work. Except for Apple and Google as described in the mobile app section, and except for our officers, employees, and agents where these Terms protect them, no other person has any right to enforce any part of them. Nothing here gives a worker a right to enforce our agreement with an employer, or an employer a right to enforce our agreement with a worker.

81. In an Emergency, Call Emergency Services

Day Labor Work is not an emergency service. Platform messaging is not monitored in real time, no one is watching for a call for help, and a message sent to us or to another user will not bring anyone to your location. Automated screening does not change that.

If you are hurt, threatened, or in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number first, and report it to us afterward so we can act on the account. Reporting something to us is never a substitute for calling for help, for seeking medical care, or for contacting the agency that regulates the situation. We have no obligation to respond to any report within any period of time.

82. Harm Caused by Other People

We do not control the conduct of any user, or of a property owner, a passerby, or anyone else encountered because of a job. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for assault, theft, harassment, threats, discrimination, property damage, defective work, or any other harmful or criminal act committed by another person, whether on a job site, in Platform messaging, or anywhere else.

A crime belongs to the police and a loss belongs to an insurance carrier, not to a job board. Report the conduct to us as well so we can remove the account, but our removal of an account is enforcement of our own rules and is not a finding, an admission, or a remedy.

83. Arrangements Made Off the Platform

Users are free to continue working together without going through the Platform again. Once an arrangement moves off the Platform there is no record of the conversation, no listing of the agreed terms, no rating history, and nothing for us to act on if it goes wrong.

We are not responsible for anything that happens in an off Platform arrangement, including work arranged by text message, phone call, email, social media, or an outside app after an introduction that began here. Our screening, our reporting tools, and our enforcement reach only what happens on the Platform.

84. Not an Employment or Payroll Record

Data on the Platform records activity here. It is not payroll, not a timesheet, and not proof of hours worked, wages earned, or work performed. Keep your own records.

We do not provide employment verification, references, or wage statements, and we may change, archive, or delete Platform data as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not determine anyone's eligibility for unemployment, disability, workers compensation, or any public benefit, and we do not appear on any user's behalf in such a claim.

85. What You Share Directly with Another User

Anything you give another user is outside our control from that moment on, whether it was typed into a message, shown in person, or sent by any other means. We cannot retrieve it, we cannot make them delete it, and closing your account does not remove their copy.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for what another user does with information you gave them, including identity theft, fraud, financial loss, or any criminal or malicious use of it. These Terms tell you plainly not to share a Social Security number, an identity document, or bank details with anyone who has not hired you.
