These Contractor Services, Fees, and Payments Terms (“Contractor and Payment Terms”) are hereby incorporated by reference into our general Terms of Use Agreement (the “Terms of Use”) and apply to each contractor and user that accesses to and uses of the Platform, and the fees and payments associated with such access and use. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in these Fees Terms will have the definitions as set out in the Terms of Use.
The JunkGrab Platform, including each of its mobile applications are used by certain individuals who may provide requests through the Platform (“Requester Users”) for the purposes of requesting certain junk removal and disposal services (the “Services”) that may be provided by certain junk removal and disposal contractors (“Contractors”) that independently run and operate their own business (whether formally organized as a legal entity or as a sole proprietorship or partnership) that provides such junk removal and disposal services outside of the JunkGrab Platform.
All amounts owed and/or to be paid by the Requestor Users shall be agreed to solely between the Requestor User and the Contractor of the specific Services requested by the Requestor User and agreed to by the Contractor (“Services Agreement”).
Each Services Agreement made between the Requestor User and Contractor shall include two separate fees that include a “Contractor Fee” and a “JunkGrab Processing Fee,” each as described in more detail below. The Requester User hereby agrees to authorize the payment processor platform (“Payment Processor”) used by JunkGrab to process payment upon the Requester User’s confirmation that the Contractor has completed the Services in accordance with the Services Agreement.
Requestor Users and Contractors each acknowledge and agree that JunkGrab has the right to deny the right to deny the ability to access and use the Platform for any reason, including in the event any amounts remain outstanding from a Requestor User’s payment for Services provided by a Contractor through the Platform. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, neither the JunkGrab Processing Fees nor the Contractor Fees are refundable.
Contractors that provide Services through the JunkGrab platform own and operate their own businesses and are not part of JunkGrab, B2 GROUP LLC, its related business, or affiliates. JunkGrab and B2 GROUP LLC are not in the business of junk removal, hauling, disposal, or related services and are not responsible for the direction, control, or quality of the Services provided by independently operating Contractors that may be hired through the JunkGrab Platform. JunkGrab is merely in the business of running a platform to facilitate the connection between Requestor Users and Contractors. JunkGrab does not exercise any control over any Contractor’s work, including the manner in which Services are performed, nor does it exercise control over any fees or rates charged by Contractors who seek clients and customers through the Platform.
The Requester User is responsible for paying the following associated with the Services:
The Contractor Fee for the Services as agreed-upon by the Requester User and the Contractor under the terms of the Services Agreement, any out-of-pocket expenses agreed-upon by the Requester User and the Contractor and submitted by the Contractor in connection with the Services, taxes or similar charges, and a credit card processing fee, as applicable.
In addition to the amounts owed for the Services as set out above, we charge, and the Requester User is responsible for paying, the following fees associated with the Services provided through the Platform: the JunkGrab Processing Fees charged that JunkGrab assesses to the Requester User for access to and information regarding Contractors that provide Services; taxes or similar charges; and any applicable cancellation charges.
Contractors will be responsible for paying registration fees, if applicable, and repaying to JunkGrab or the Payment Processor any erroneous payments or other amounts received by the Contractor.
JunkGrab reserves the right to change its fees and fee structures at any time and will notify applicable Contractors and Requester Users of any fee changes in accordance with the Terms of Use. If you disagree with a decision by JunkGrab to modify its fee structure, you may cease using the Platform. Neither Contractors nor Requester Users have any authority to, and may not, modify all or any part of the JunkGrab Processing Fees.
All amounts owed and/or to be paid by either a Requester User or Contractor must be paid through the Payment Processor. The Requester User will be required to provide their payment method details to JunkGrab and the Payment Processor. The Contractor will be required to provide certain payment, banking, and other information as required by the Payment Processor or as required by any applicable laws or regulations. Such provided information will be shared with the Payment Processor for the purposes of accepting payments from Requester Users and for providing and distributing payments to Contractors.
Contractors and Requester Users will be required to consent to the terms of service of the Payment Processor (the “Payment Processor Services Agreement”), and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation of the Payment Processor to pay or receive payments through the JunkGrab Platform. JunkGrab is not a party to any Payment Processor Services Agreement, and has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Contractor, Requester User, or other party under any Payment Processor Services Agreement.
JunkGrab reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change at any time the specific Payment Processor that it uses as well as the structure and method of receiving and distributing payments through the JunkGrab Platform.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Requester User will not be held responsible for transactions that are identified by JunkGrab as potential or confirmed fraud; provided that the Requester User did not contribute to or cause (directly or indirectly, in any part) such fraud. In these instances, a transaction may be declined, frozen or held until investigation is complete.
Requester Users and Contractors may be liable for taxes or similar charges imposed on the Services and/or fees paid under the Services Agreement and must be collected and/or paid.
In certain jurisdictions, applicable rules require that we collect and/or report tax and/or revenue information about you to applicable tax authorities. You agree that JunkGrab may issue, on your behalf, receipts or similar documentation to facilitate accurate tax reporting, and use of your account may be paused until such documentation is provided.
Contractors remain fully responsible and liable for, and in charge of, compliance with all tax obligations applicable to the Contractor and the Services (including performance thereof), including, without limitation, filing their tax returns and paying taxes relating to the Services performed by them for the benefit of their Requester Users. Contractors should consult with their own tax advisors to ensure compliance with applicable tax and reporting requirements.
JunkGrab is neither responsible nor liable for ensuring compliance with applicable tax obligations. JunkGrab shall not be held responsible for any breach of a Contractor's tax obligations, including that JunkGrab shall not be held jointly and severally liable for taxes, interest on overdue taxes, or for any penalties or fines that would be owed by the Contractor based on the Services provided or Contractor Fees earned.
JunkGrab may request the Contractor to confirm and/or demonstrate that they are up to date with their tax obligations and deactivate Contractor’s account or limit their use of or remove the Contractor from the Platform upon a determination from the applicable tax authorities that such Contractor has failed to comply with tax obligations, or if the Contractor is unable or unwilling to confirm and/or demonstrate their compliance with their tax obligations, upon request.
