What is the “CitiPanda Damage Responsibility Contract”?

As stated in our Terms of Service, CitiPanda is a technology platform that allows Users to connect with each other so they can be their most productive selves. Taskers determine what categories they are qualified to task in, and scope the task directly with their Client. Clients are advised to confirm with their Tasker that their Tasker is qualified to perform the task prior to the task taking place. CitiPanda does not direct how a Tasker performs a task, does not monitor tasks or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise oversee or assume responsibility for the actions of Taskers. CitiPanda is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does CitiPanda provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, because we want you to be happy about your CitiPanda experience, we choose to offer this Damage Responsibility Contract, on the terms set forth below. If Users fail to resolve an issue between themselves, and subject to the terms, exclusions and limitations set forth in this CitiPanda Damage Responsibility Contract, CitiPanda will act as follows:

  • Clients will receive support from CitiPanda(non other specified)for Losses arising from Property Damage as a direct result of Negligence of a Tasker during performance of a Task;
  • Users will receive support from CitiPanda (non other specified)for Bodily Injury sustained by a User who did not cause the injury, as a direct result of Negligence by another User during the performance of a Task;
  • Clients will receive support from CitiPanda (non other specified)for Losses arising from Theft of a User’s property by a Tasker during performance of a task.

Terms and Conditions: The CitiPanda Damage Responsibility Contract is applicable for every task (other than with respect to the exclusions listed below), subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • You must submit a request, asking help via email to CitiPanda, within fourteen (14) days of the occurrence of the task giving RISE to the Damage Responsibility Contract Claim;
  • Before submitting a CitiPanda Resolution Request Form, you must first make a good faith attempt to resolve the Damage Responsibility Contract directly with the User involved;
  • The task between a Client and a Tasker is performed on the CitiPanda Platform by the hired Tasker and paid for in full through Braintree Payment System (via the CitiPanda Platform);
  • The Task does not violate our Terms Of Service;
  • You have not submitted a separate Damage Responsibility Contract within ninety (90) days prior to the occurrence of the task giving RISE to the Contract;

The Damage Responsibility Contract will only compensate for Losses to the extent not otherwise covered by your Personal Insurance. CitiPanda has the right to provide a User’s contact information to an insurance company or to another User in order to facilitate a resolution of a Damage Responsibility Contract, either under the terms of this CitiPanda Damage Responsibility Contract , or because a User’s policy may apply.
