Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of randum.org and its related services (the "Service"), operated by [Timothy Adams, sole proprietor, d/b/a Randum / Randum LLC — confirm entity status] ("Randum," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our End User License Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What Randum Is
Randum is an online listing and matching platform where one user (a "Poster") can post a task ("Job") that another user (a "Doer") may claim or bid on. Users may also form or join a "Group" to bid and complete Jobs together, and eligible Doers may publish a service listing ("Advert").
Randum does not employ, supervise, background-check, insure, bond, or guarantee the work of any Poster, Doer, or Group. Randum is not a party to any agreement between a Poster and a Doer and is not responsible for the quality, legality, timeliness, or outcome of any Job.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is not directed to, and Randum does not knowingly collect information from, anyone under 18.
3. Your Account
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity under your account.
- You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
- One account per person. Accounts may not be sold, transferred, or shared.
- Randum may suspend or terminate any account, remove any Job or Advert, or restrict access to the Service at its discretion, including for violations of these Terms, the EULA, or applicable law.
4. Payments
The pay amount shown on a Job listing, and any bid submitted against it, reflects an amount proposed between the Poster and Doer only. Posters and Doers are solely responsible for agreeing on, and directly exchanging, payment by whatever lawful means they choose. Randum has no visibility into, and assumes no responsibility for, whether payment is made, made in full, or made on time.
5. Tiers, Ratings & Groups
Randum operates a reputation system ("Tier") based on the number of Jobs completed and star ratings ("Ratings") left by other users. A user's or Group's Tier determines the maximum pay amount they may claim or bid on.
- Ratings are submitted by individual users and reflect their own opinions. Randum does not verify, moderate for accuracy, or guarantee the truthfulness of any Rating.
- A Group's reputation is tracked separately from any individual member's personal reputation and is based only on Jobs completed on the Group's behalf.
- Randum may adjust Tier thresholds, rating calculations, or remove Ratings it reasonably believes are fraudulent, retaliatory, or abusive.
6. Prohibited Content & Conduct
You may not post, request, offer to perform, or use the Service to facilitate any Job or Advert that is illegal, dangerous, or intended to harass, defraud, sexually exploit, or endanger any person, including (without limitation):
- Anything illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law;
- Anything involving weapons, explosives, hazardous materials, or unlicensed regulated activity (e.g., unlicensed contracting, medical, or legal services, where a license is legally required);
- Anything sexual in nature, or that sexualizes, targets, or endangers a minor;
- Violence, threats, stalking, or harassment of any person;
- Fraud, money laundering, or circumventing Section 4;
- Anything that would violate another person's rights, including privacy, intellectual property, or publicity rights.
Randum may remove any Job, Advert, message, or account, and may report conduct to law enforcement, at its sole discretion, without prior notice.
7. In-Person Meetings & Physical Tasks
You are solely responsible for evaluating and protecting your own safety when interacting with other users, including deciding whether, where, and how to meet. Randum recommends meeting in public places when practical, telling someone else your plans, and using independent judgment before agreeing to any Job — but these are suggestions, not safeguards Randum provides or verifies.
8. Assumption of Risk
You expressly assume all risk arising from your use of the Service and your interactions with other users, including but not limited to risk of personal injury, property damage, theft, non-payment, a Job not being completed or completed poorly, and any dispute between a Poster and a Doer. Randum does not control and is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user.
9. Release & Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release Randum, its owner(s), and its personnel from any claim, demand, or damages arising out of a dispute with, or harm caused by, another user or a Job. Nothing in this section releases Randum from liability that cannot be waived under applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Randum's total liability for any claim arising out of the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Randum is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill.
[This section is intentionally broad and needs jurisdiction-specific attorney review — some states limit or void liability waivers, especially for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or personal injury.]
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Randum harmless from any claim, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your Job postings or Advert content, your interactions with other users, or your violation of these Terms.
11. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
[Placeholder — arbitration clauses and class-action waivers have jurisdiction-specific requirements and are not enforceable in every context. Do not rely on boilerplate arbitration language without counsel review.]
Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting [legal contact email]. If unresolved after 30 days, the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, and not as a class action, under the rules of [arbitration body — e.g., AAA], except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court.
12. Intellectual Property
Randum owns the Service, including its software, design, and trademarks. You retain ownership of content you post (Job descriptions, pitches, messages, Advert text), but grant Randum a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as needed to operate the Service.
13. Copyright (DMCA) Notices
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) to [DMCA agent email/address].
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Randum does not warrant the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
15. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. Randum may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause or notice. Sections 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 16 survive termination.
16. Governing Law
[Placeholder — confirm against the entity's actual state of formation/operation.] These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
17. Changes to These Terms
Randum may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
