Terms & Conditions

Please read carefully

HelpTo is a community board — use it responsibly.

Effective July 12, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, posting a task, or offering help through HelpTo (the "App"), you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. What HelpTo Is (and Isn't)

HelpTo is a listing platform that lets neighbors post tasks and connect with others willing to help. HelpTo is not a party to any arrangement between users. We do not employ helpers, do not verify identities, do not screen tasks, do not handle payments, and do not supervise any meeting, transaction, or activity that results from use of the App.

3. User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

  • Your conduct, posts, communications, and any tasks you accept or offer.
  • Verifying the identity, trustworthiness, and qualifications of anyone you interact with.
  • Complying with all applicable laws, regulations, licensing, insurance, and tax obligations.
  • Any payments, refunds, or disputes arising between you and another user.
  • Taking reasonable safety precautions before, during, and after any in-person meeting.

4. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to use HelpTo to post, request, offer, or engage in:

  • Any illegal activity, or any activity that violates local, state, national, or international law.
  • Transport, sale, purchase, or delivery of illegal drugs, weapons, stolen goods, or regulated items you are not licensed to handle.
  • Services requiring a professional license you do not hold (medical, legal, financial, electrical, etc.).
  • Harassment, threats, hate speech, discrimination, stalking, or exploitation of minors.
  • Fraud, scams, misrepresentation, or fake listings.
  • Sharing another person's private information without consent.
  • Any activity that endangers the safety of yourself or others.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts at our sole discretion, with or without notice, especially where we suspect a violation of these Terms.

5. Safety Notice

Meetings and transactions happen in the real world and carry real risk. Meet in public, well-lit places when possible, tell a friend where you're going, verify names and vehicles, and trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, walk away and contact local authorities. In an emergency, call your local emergency services.

6. No Warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that any user, task, or exchange arranged through the App will meet your expectations, be safe, be lawful, or be completed.

7. Disclaimer of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HelpTo, its developer(s), owners, operators, affiliates, contractors, and contributors (together, the "Developer") shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to personal injury, death, property damage, loss of data, lost profits, theft, fraud, emotional distress, or any harm — arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of, or inability to use, the App;
  • Any interaction, meeting, transaction, or dispute between users;
  • The conduct, acts, or omissions of any user, whether online or offline;
  • Any content posted on the App;
  • Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.

You use HelpTo entirely at your own risk. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, the Developer's aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to the Developer in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD $10.

8. Release

You release the Developer from any and all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with disputes between you and any other user of the App.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the App, your content, your interactions with other users, or your breach of these Terms or any law.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

11. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent through the App's support or contact channel.
