This provision establishes the contractual classification of Taskers as independent contractors, which determines the applicable labor, tax, and benefits obligations between the parties. The classification assertion in the contract does not resolve applicable legal standards for worker classification, which vary by jurisdiction and may be determined by regulatory or judicial authorities independent of the agreement's characterization.
Interpretive note: The legal classification of Taskers as independent contractors is a contractual assertion that may be evaluated independently under jurisdiction-specific worker classification tests; the enforceability of this classification varies by state, country, and applicable regulatory standard.

"Taskers are independent business owners, providing services under their own name or business name (and not under Taskrabbit's name), using their own tools and supplies. Taskers choose the applicable rates for Tasks, without deduction by Taskrabbit. Taskers may (a) maintain a clientele without any restrictions from Taskrabbit; (b) offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms; and (c) accept or reject Clients and Service Agreements (defined below). Taskers are independent contractors of Clients, and Clients are therefore clients of Taskers, not Taskrabbit.Excerpt from TaskRabbit's Terms of Service
