Zero Tolerance Policy
1. What are Zero Tolerance Services?
The Services serve as a marketplace where people who seek to get tasks done are matched with independent contractors and businesses (“Fulfillers”) who are reasonably capable of executing these jobs, tasks, or offers. In connection with such marketplace, Assistance services aims to provide its Users with a wide array of choices and Fulfillers with a wide array of opportunities; however, there are certain services and certain classes of services that Assistance services does not allow on our platform for legal and/or ethical reasons (each, a “Zero Tolerance Service,” or collectively, “Zero Tolerance Services”). We maintain that we do not make any of these Zero Tolerance Service determinations in a way that is intended to be discriminatory towards any race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identification, physical or mental disability, medical condition, marital status, age, or sexual orientation. If you would like us to amend anything on this page, please feel free to contact us at and we will consider your request (though we cannot guarantee that your request will be granted).
