Taskrabbit says it has no responsibility or legal liability for how tasks are performed, the quality of work, or any harm caused by a Tasker, because Taskers are independent contractors and not Taskrabbit employees.
This analysis describes what TaskRabbit's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This broad disclaimer means that if a Tasker damages your property, performs work unsafely, or fails to complete a task, Taskrabbit's position is that it bears no legal responsibility, which places the risk entirely on the consumer.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of this disclaimer as applied to specific harm types, including personal injury or property damage, may be limited under applicable consumer protection or negligence law in multiple jurisdictions; the document asserts the disclaimer broadly but applicable law may not permit full effect in all circumstances.
Consumers who experience property damage, poor workmanship, or safety incidents during a task may have limited recourse against Taskrabbit directly; any claims would need to be directed at the individual Tasker, who may have limited resources or insurance.
