Terms of service

DoMyChore is a marketplace that connects people who need yard work — snow shoveling, lawn mowing, leaf raking and other outdoor tasks — with independent workers who do it.

DoMyChore is not the employer of any worker. Workers are independent and decide which jobs to claim.

You need an account to post or claim jobs. You must give accurate information when you sign up, and you are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe.

You must be at least 18 years old, or have a parent or guardian's permission, to use the service.

You post the address, the type of work and any notes. We estimate the price from how many car spaces fit in your driveway — the estimate is a low-to-high range and the final charge is the upper end of that range.

Posting a job is free. Once a worker accepts, pay the upper end of your estimate in the app before work begins. Cash payments are not permitted.

You may cancel a job while it is still open. Once a worker has claimed it and arrived, work out any changes directly with the worker.

Workers claim open jobs near them and wait for the customer to pay in the app before starting. If you can't make it, release the job so someone else can take it.

Do the work safely and leave the property in good shape.

Customers pay after a worker accepts and before work starts through our payment processor, Stripe. Payments may run in test mode while the service is new — test payments use fake cards and no real money moves.

Each payment is split: 90% goes to the worker and 10% goes to DoMyChore as the platform fee.

Worker payouts are made by the platform owner outside the app (for example by e-transfer) after a job is completed.

Prices shown before checkout may include sales tax where applicable, calculated by Stripe.

Open requests can be cancelled before a worker accepts. If payment has already been made for an accepted job that cannot proceed, request help with a refund; refunds are not automatic.

If you are not happy with completed work, contact us and we will work out a fair solution, which may include a partial or full refund.

Treat the other side the way you'd want to be treated: accurate job descriptions, fair dealing, no harassment, no damage to property, no misuse of other people's information.

We can remove accounts that break these rules or use the service to harm others.

The price estimate is an estimate based on satellite imagery and may differ from the actual work needed.

DoMyChore provides the platform but does not guarantee the quality or timing of any worker's work. To the fullest extent allowed by law, DoMyChore is not liable for losses from jobs arranged through the service.

We may update these terms as the service grows. The current version is always on this page.
