Last Updated: 24/09/2026

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the Task Force digital marketplace.

By creating an account, accessing the platform, posting a service request, creating a professional profile, submitting a quotation, selecting a professional, making a payment or otherwise using Task Force, you agree to these Terms.

1 What Task Force Is

Task Force is a digital marketplace that connects customers seeking professional services with independent professionals who offer those services.

The platform enables users to:

Discover professionals Search services Submit requests Receive quotations Compare professionals Select a professional Make payments Track progress Complete services Provide reviews and ratings

Task Force provides the digital marketplace infrastructure through which these activities can occur.

2 Task Force Is Not the Service Provider

Task Force does not itself provide the underlying professional service unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular service.

A professional listed on Task Force is not automatically an employee, agent, partner, representative or worker of Task Force or AARARU HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED.

Professionals independently determine whether they are willing and able to provide a requested service.

3 Marketplace Relationship

The underlying service relationship is between the customer and the selected professional.

Task Force facilitates the digital marketplace, communication of service requirements, quotations, professional selection, payment processing and marketplace records.

The actual performance of the service is the responsibility of the customer and professional, subject to applicable law and the specific contractual arrangements between them.

4 Professional Selection

Task Force may display professionals according to available marketplace information, service categories, location, service areas, availability and other relevant information.

The customer remains responsible for selecting the professional.

Task Force does not guarantee that a particular professional will be suitable for a particular requirement.

5 Quotations

Professionals may accept a customer's offered amount or submit their own quotation.

A quotation must accurately represent the professional's proposed price and relevant service conditions.

Customers are free to select among available quotations.

A quotation does not automatically create an employment relationship between the professional and Task Force.

6 Platform Fees

Discovering professionals, submitting service requests and receiving quotations may be free.

When a customer selects a professional and proceeds with a transaction through Task Force, a platform/service fee may be charged.

Fee Range: 5% up to 20% Disclosed before payment confirmation

Applicable taxes and payment-related charges may also apply where legally required. The applicable amount must be disclosed to the customer before confirmation of payment.

7 Payment Processing

Payments are processed through supported payment gateway/payment service providers.

Task Force may facilitate payment collection, transaction verification, settlement and transaction records.

Task Force does not represent that it is itself a bank or payment institution unless separately authorized under applicable law.

References to payment holding or settlement do not create an independent escrow arrangement unless such arrangement is expressly provided by an appropriately authorized payment service provider.

8 Completion and Settlement

After the professional completes the service, the service may enter a completion and review/cooling period.

Subject to applicable payment-gateway rules, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, fraud checks and other applicable conditions, eligible professional settlement may be released after completion and up to a 72-hour cooling period.

The 72-hour period may be used to allow the platform to process completion status, reviews, disputes, payment verification and applicable risk controls.

Task Force may delay settlement where reasonably necessary to investigate a dispute, suspected fraud, chargeback, payment failure, policy violation or legal requirement.

9 Invoices

Where an invoice is generated through Task Force, the customer and professional should download and retain the invoice for their own records.

Users should not rely upon Task Force as their permanent document archive.

10 Independent Professionals

Professionals are independently responsible for:

• Their qualifications & services
• Their prices & tax obligations
• Licences and registrations
• Compliance with regulations
• Their conduct, staff & equipment
• Service delivery & customer contracts

  • The quality or result of an underlying professional service
  • Professional availability or skill level
  • Completion within a particular time
  • Compatibility between a customer and professional
  • The customer's commercial outcome or the professional's income/workload

14 Platform Liability

Task Force is a digital marketplace and does not assume responsibility for matters outside the operation of the digital platform except where responsibility is imposed by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded.

The platform may be responsible for its own platform operations, payment-processing functions that it directly performs, data-protection obligations, security obligations and other responsibilities imposed upon it by applicable law.

15 Parent Company

AARARU HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED is the parent/holding company associated with the Task Force platform.

The parent company does not, merely by virtue of ownership or control, become the provider of each professional service offered through Task Force.

The parent company does not automatically employ, supervise, guarantee or contract with every professional listed on the marketplace.

Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as excluding any responsibility that applicable law imposes upon AARARU HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED or any other relevant legal entity.

16 Technical Problems

Task Force may experience interruptions, bugs, outages, maintenance periods, payment-gateway failures, network problems or other technical issues.

Users may report technical problems through the available Task Force support/contact channels.

Task Force may modify these Terms from time to time.

The updated Terms will be published through the Task Force website or application.

20 Marketplace Declaration

Task Force is a digital marketplace created to facilitate online discovery and connection between customers and independent professionals.

Task Force does not represent that it physically performs the services listed by independent professionals. The platform does not maintain a physical workforce of professionals merely because professionals are listed on the marketplace.

The actual service relationship, including the manner in which the service is performed, is between the customer and the selected professional, subject to applicable law.

By using Task Force, users acknowledge that they are using a digital marketplace and that the platform's role is primarily to provide digital infrastructure for discovery, requests, quotations, selection, payment facilitation, transaction records and marketplace communication.
