SideGigUSA Consolidated Terms of Use and Mandatory User Onboarding Agreement
Drafted for SideGigUSA based on the uploaded Terms of Use. Last updated: April 23, 2026.
Important note: This is a business-focused draft for risk reduction and operational clarity, not legal advice. A licensed Wisconsin attorney should review it before launch, especially arbitration, fee handling, and any state-specific service categories.
These Terms govern access to and use of www.sidegigusa.com and all related websites, applications, content, communications, and services offered by SideGigUSA (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement. If you use the Platform on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
SideGigUSA may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Platform. Changes become effective when posted unless a later effective date is stated. Your continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
SideGigUSA is a technology platform and neutral online marketplace that connects customers with independent third-party service providers.
SideGigUSA does not perform services, employ providers, supervise work, direct work methods, set provider pricing, assign jobs as an employer or contractor, or guarantee that any job will be completed.
All services are independently offered, negotiated, contracted for, and performed solely between customers and providers.
Nothing in these Terms creates any employment, agency, brokerage, contractor-subcontractor, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, or franchise relationship between SideGigUSA and any user.
You may use the Platform only for lawful purposes.
You may not violate any law, infringe any rights, submit false or misleading information, use bots or scraping tools without written permission, interfere with the Platform, evade fees, or attempt unauthorized access.
You may not post or request illegal, hazardous, discriminatory, violent, fraudulent, sexually exploitative, or otherwise prohibited services or content.
You may not bypass the Platform to avoid agreed fees where the Platform terms or a separate fee policy prohibit circumvention.
SideGigUSA may remove content, suspend accounts, cancel listings, or restrict access at its discretion to protect users, comply with law, or preserve Platform integrity.
Customers may post jobs or service requests. Providers may apply, quote, decline, negotiate, or accept opportunities in their sole discretion.
Providers control whether to accept work, what rate to charge, what tools to use, how to perform the work, and whether to work for other platforms or clients.
Any service agreement is solely between the customer and the provider. SideGigUSA is not a party to that contract and is not responsible for performance, nonperformance, cancellation, delays, workmanship, code compliance, permits, or losses arising from the service relationship.
SideGigUSA may charge platform fees, booking fees, subscription fees, lead fees, commissions, payment-processing fees, dispute fees, or other fees disclosed on the Platform or in a separate pricing policy.
Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors, including Stripe or other providers. SideGigUSA is not a bank, money transmitter, escrow company, or trustee unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.
SideGigUSA may facilitate payment collection and remittance instructions, but all payment-processing obligations and card network rules are governed by the applicable third-party processor terms.
Providers are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, tax filings, business registrations, and compliance obligations related to their earnings and services.
Where applicable, tax reporting may be handled by the payment processor or through a platform tax-reporting feature. Users are responsible for providing accurate tax information.
Each provider is an independent business and independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or representative of SideGigUSA.
Providers are solely responsible for their labor, helpers, subcontractors, wages, training, tools, vehicles, supplies, permits, licenses, insurance, and legal compliance.
Providers acknowledge they control the manner and means of their work and are free to accept or reject opportunities.
Providers are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all insurance appropriate to the services they offer, which may include general liability, commercial auto, workers' compensation, professional liability, inland marine, umbrella, or other coverage depending on the service category and applicable law.
SideGigUSA does not provide insurance for providers or customers unless expressly stated in a separate written program description.
SideGigUSA does not guarantee that any provider or customer has insurance, that any insurance is valid, or that any claim will be covered.
Customers are responsible for deciding whether to require proof of insurance and for independently verifying insurance before work begins.
SideGigUSA does not conduct, guarantee, certify, or warrant background checks unless expressly stated in writing for a specific feature.
Any optional screening, identity verification, badge, or background-check feature is informational only and does not constitute a guarantee of safety, honesty, skill, licensing, or fitness.
Providers are responsible for the truthfulness of their information and disclosures.
Customers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence before allowing access to persons, homes, businesses, vehicles, property, confidential information, or family members.
Customers and providers each assume responsibility for any background checks, references, interviews, site inspections, or additional screening they choose to perform.
The Platform is provided as a marketplace tool only. SideGigUSA does not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, reliability, timeliness, identity, background, credentials, insurance, licensing, pricing, or performance of any user, listing, service, communication, or transaction.
Use of the Platform and all interactions between users are at your own risk.
Users may submit reviews, ratings, photos, messages, profiles, listings, and other content ("User Content"). You grant SideGigUSA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, moderate, distribute, and use User Content to operate, improve, market, and protect the Platform.
You may not post content that is false, defamatory, unlawful, harassing, invasive of privacy, infringing, deceptive, or manipulated.
SideGigUSA may remove, refuse, or moderate content at its discretion, but has no duty to do so.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit or unlawfully restrict honest reviews or feedback where prohibited by applicable law.
You consent to receive communications from SideGigUSA electronically, including by email, in-app notices, and text messages where you provide a mobile number or otherwise consent.
You are responsible for any carrier charges. Message frequency may vary.
You agree that electronic signatures, click-through acceptance, and electronic records satisfy legal requirements for writings and signatures to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The Platform may contain third-party tools, links, software, insurance offerings, payment services, background-check vendors, maps, analytics, or embedded content. SideGigUSA is not responsible for third-party products or services and does not control their terms, privacy practices, or performance.
SideGigUSA does not undertake and has no duty to monitor user conduct, communications, listings, or services performed through the Platform.
SideGigUSA may, but is not obligated to, investigate complaints, verify information, remove content, suspend accounts, or cooperate with law enforcement.
The Platform is not an emergency service. If there is an immediate safety concern or criminal issue, users should contact emergency services or appropriate authorities directly.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM AND ALL RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIDEGIGUSA AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM OR ANY USER INTERACTION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIDEGIGUSA'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD 100) OR (B) THE AMOUNT OF PLATFORM FEES PAID BY YOU TO SIDEGIGUSA IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release SideGigUSA from claims, demands, and damages arising out of or related to disputes between users, including customers and providers, and from the acts or omissions of other users.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SideGigUSA and its owners, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, contractors, successors, and agents from and against any claims, actions, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your User Content; (c) services you provide, request, perform, or receive; (d) your violation of these Terms; (e) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (f) injury, death, property damage, or other loss arising from user interactions or services.
SideGigUSA may suspend, limit, or terminate accounts, listings, payments, or Platform access at any time, with or without notice, for risk, fraud, legal compliance, nonpayment, user complaints, misuse, or any other reason permitted by law.
Sections intended by their nature to survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, dispute provisions, indemnification, limitations of liability, releases, intellectual property rights, and licenses.
Please have a licensed attorney review this section before launch. Any final arbitration clause should be tailored to your state, user base, and consumer-law requirements.
Except where prohibited by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall first be submitted to informal resolution by written notice. If unresolved, the dispute may be resolved by binding individual arbitration and not in court, except for eligible small-claims matters.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, users waive the right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions.
Either party may seek temporary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, or platform security pending arbitration.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent preempted by federal law or limited by applicable consumer-protection law.
If a dispute is not subject to arbitration, the exclusive venue shall be the state or federal courts located in Wisconsin, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and SideGigUSA regarding the Platform and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on the same subject.
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
SideGigUSA may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, sale, financing, or transfer of assets. Users may not assign their rights or obligations without prior written consent.
A waiver of any breach is not a waiver of any later breach.
SideGigUSA is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages, natural disasters, labor disputes, cyber incidents, processor failures, or government actions.
