On-Platform Communications Requirement

Why it matters

This rule prevents Clients and Taskers from arranging tasks directly to avoid platform fees, but it also means Taskrabbit can monitor, access, and retain all your task-related communications.

Consumer impact

Taskrabbit's Terms significantly limit your legal recourse by requiring US and Canadian users to arbitrate disputes individually, waiving the right to join class actions, and capping the company's financial liability at just $100 or 12 months of fees paid. Clients bear full responsibility for vetting Tasker qualifications despite platform 'badging' features, and Taskrabbit disclaims responsibility for task quality, property damage, or Tasker conduct. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Taskrabbit within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has authority to investigate whether communications monitoring and retention practices constitute unfair or deceptive data practices under FTC Act Section 5.
