You are legally responsible for everything that happens under your Taskrabbit account, even if someone else did it without your permission.
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 allocation of responsibility establishes the operational framework for account security accountability. By designating users as solely responsible for account access and activity, the provision clarifies TaskRabbit's liability scope and establishes the user obligation to report suspected unauthorized access as a condition of the service relationship.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of blanket user liability for unauthorized account activity may be limited by applicable payment regulation in EU, UK, and certain US contexts depending on the payment method involved.
If your Taskrabbit account is compromised and someone makes bookings or payments under your account without your authorization, the terms place full responsibility for those activities on you, not on Taskrabbit.

"You are fully and solely responsible for (a) maintaining the confidentiality of any log-in, password, and account number provided by or given to you to access the Platform; and (b) all activities that occur under your password or account, even if not authorized by you. Taskrabbit has no control over any User's account. You agree to notify Taskrabbit immediately if you suspect any unauthorized party may be using your Platform password or account or any other breach of security.— Excerpt from TaskRabbit's TaskRabbit Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Allocation of liability for unauthorized account activity to the account holder is common in platform terms but may interact with consumer protection frameworks. In the EU, the Payment Services Directive 2 imposes liability limits on consumers for unauthorized payment transactions, which may supersede this contractual allocation where the platform processes payments. In the US, consumer financial protection regulations may limit the enforceability of blanket account holder liability for unauthorized transactions depending on the payment method used. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The assertion that users are responsible for all account activity, even if unauthorized, is broader than the protections consumers may have under applicable payment regulation for unauthorized transactions. The practical enforceability of this clause depends on the payment method and applicable jurisdiction. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users benefit from PSD2 protections for unauthorized payment transactions that may limit the practical effect of this clause. UK consumers have analogous protections. California consumers may have additional statutory protections. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses using the platform for corporate account management should implement internal controls over account credentials to manage the risk created by this clause. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether the platform's account security mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication availability, are adequate relative to the responsibility placed on users by this clause, and whether the unauthorized activity reporting process is clearly communicated.
