These terms of service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Taylor Development Group, LLC DBA Kandu (“Kandu” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of the Kandu website and technology platform (collectively, the “Kandu Platform” or “Platform”).By entering into this Agreement, and/or by using or accessing the Kandu platform (whichever comes first) you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement (including the dispute resolution provisions herein) and accept all of its terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE KANDU PLATFORM.
Platform
The Kandu Platform provides a platform where persons who seek assistance with product assembly, installation, delivery, and/or related services (“Customer”) can be matched with persons capable of providing such services (“Technicians”). Customers and Technicians are collectively referred to as “Users”. As a User, you authorize Kandu to match you with a Customer or Technician, as the case may be, based on factors such as your location, type of service requested, user preferences, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations. For purposes of this Agreement, the services provided by Technicians to Customers that are matched through the Platform shall be referred to collectively as the “Services”. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. Each Service provided by a Technician to a User shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.
Third Party Applications
The Kandu Platform may use and/or integrate with third-party software, applications, and/or website services. These services have their own respective Terms of Service and Privacy Policies. By using the Kandu platform, you agree to abide by the policies of any third-party service utilized by the Platform.
Eligibility
The Kandu Platform may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. The Kandu Platform is not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or Users who have had their User account temporarily or permanently deactivated. By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into and abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may not allow other persons to use your User account, and you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your account.
Modification to the Agreement
In the event Kandu modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such modifications shall be binding on you only upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. Kandu reserves the right to modify any information referenced in the hyperlinks from this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications shall become effective upon posting. Continued use of the Kandu Platform or Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
Charges
As a Customer, you understand that request or use of the Services will result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges include all applicable fees, surcharges, and taxes. Kandu has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by posting applicable pricing terms or quoting you a price for a specific service at the time you make a request. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request. You are responsible for reviewing the applicable price quote and shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof.Your selected payment method will be charged for the full service fee upon completion of the appointment. Projects that cannot be fully completed due to missing parts, pieces, components, documentation, and/or project misrepresentation by Customer, or any other situation outside of Kandu’ control, will be charged the full service charge, and a follow-up appointment can be scheduled if the Customer so chooses for an additional charge.
All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processing service. Kandu may replace its third-party payment processing services without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the Kandu Platform. With the exception of tips, cash payments are strictly prohibited. Your payment of Charges to Kandu satisfies your payment obligation for your use of the Kandu Platform and Services.All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Kandu Platform, any disruption to the Kandu Platform or Services, or any other reason whatsoever.You may receive coupons that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges upon completion of a Service. Coupons are only valid for use on the Kandu Platform, and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Coupons cannot be combined, and if the cost of your Service exceeds the applicable credit or discount value we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the Service. Additional restrictions on coupons may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion or through other communications from Kandu.Upon addition of a new payment method or each Service request, Kandu may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the Service cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge, however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or prepaid card. We will not be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.
Fees for Service
Kandu will quote you a price for service at the time of your request. The quote is subject to change until the request is confirmed by the Customer and Technician.
Other Charges
After requesting a Service you may cancel it through the Kandu Platform, but note that in certain cases a cancellation fee may apply. You may also be charged if you fail to be present at the place of service during the confirmed appointment arrival window.
Other fees and surcharges may apply to your Service, including: state or local fees and processing fees. In addition, where required by law Kandu will collect applicable taxes or other costs.
Following the completion of the Service, you may elect to tip your Technician in cash. Any tips will be retained entirely by the Technician.
Payments to Technicians
If you are a Technician, you will receive payment for your completion of Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any other agreement that may be entered into between you and Kandu from time to time.
Technicians are entitled to a payment for the Services performed for Customers as calculated by Kandu and agreed upon by Technician when Technician confirms through the Platform to perform the Service. If a Technician cancels the Service, we may charge the Technician a cancellation fee. In addition to the foregoing types of payments that may be earned by Technician, Technician will receive the following payments, if applicable: (i) any tips provided by a Customer to you and (ii) any damage charges we collect on your behalf.
Kandu, through its third party payment processor will be responsible for collecting payments owed to you by Customers as your limited payment collection agent and you agree that the receipt of such payments by Kandu satisfies the Customer’s obligation to you. Kandu expressly reserves the right to adjust or withhold all or a portion of such payment or other payment owed to you (except tips) provided that Kandu’ decision to adjust, deduct, or withhold payment shall be exercised in a reasonable manner and Kandu will take reasonable steps to remit such payments to you on a weekly basis, subject to Kandu’ reasonable business practices and events outside of Kandu’ reasonable control. You acknowledge and agree that all payments owed to you shall not include any interest and will be net of any amounts that Kandu may withhold. Kandu may suspend Technician or impose a monetary penalty on account of deficient or untimely Services.

Contractor hereby waives any claim Contractor has or may have now and in the future respecting such taxes or the right of the Company not to withhold, not to pay or not to contribute to taxes on behalf of Contractor.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND TRADE SECRETSContractor agrees that He or She will keep strictly confidential and will not reveal to any person, firm, organization, or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, any information concerning the Company’s trade secrets (including, without limitation, customers and prospective customer lists, service process, inventions and discoveries, patented or not, financial information and projections, or any other matter deemed confidential by the Company) without the express written consent of the Company. Contractor further agrees that upon leaving employment, Contractor will return any and all Company documents including copies, and property which would disclose any trade secrets as specified herein. Contractor acknowledges that all such information is unique and Contractor agrees that disclosure of such information would cause irreparable harm to the Company. Contractor understands that if Contractor violates this provision in any way, Contractor may be subject to a lawsuit for injunctive relief and may also be responsible for damages.
RETURN OF PROPERTYContractor agrees that upon termination of Contractor’s business relationship with the Company, Contractor will return to the Company any and all of its property in Contractor’s possession or control including, but not limited to, tools (purchased by the Company), part kits or repair parts, uniforms, and all manuals, printed material, writings and tangible forms of the information set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4 above. Contractor agrees that during Contractor’s employment, the Company may deduct from any payments due, amounts necessary to cover the value of Company furnished property to Contractor. The value of any property which is not returned in good condition shall be deducted from these monies owed to Contractor with any positive balance refunded to Contractor. If there is a deficiency, Contractor also authorizes the Company to deduct from Contractors last pay any amount not previously deducted covering the value of the tools or other Company property damaged or not returned. Finally, Contractor agrees that the Company’s remedies as set forth in this paragraph are not exclusive.
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTContractor agrees that during the term of Contractor’s business relationship with the Company, Contractor will not solicit any separate type of work directly from Company’s business clients, excepting work orders coordinated with the Company.
DURATIONThis agreement may be terminated by either mutual agreement of the parties or by written notice of either of the parties of intent to terminate the Agreement. Any such written notice shall serve automatically to terminate this agreement 30 days after the date such notice is sent to the other party via certified or registered mail.
DISPUTE RESOLUTIONContractor and Company agree that any dispute arising under this Agreement shall initially be referred to mediation and if mediation is not successful, to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon. The parties shall equally share any and all cost of mediation and arbitration with the exception of attorneys’ fees. Provided further, that nothing contained herein shall preclude Company from seeking injunctive relief in a competent jurisdiction if Contractor violates or attempts to violate paragraphs 4, 5 and/or 6 herein.
INDEMNIFICATIONContractor agrees to indemnify Company, its agents, and employees against all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of performance of Contractor’s work under this agreement that are cause in whole or in part by Contractor’s negligent act or omission, or that of anyone employed by Contractors by whose acts Contractor may be liable.

PreventionIf We determine in Our reasonable discretion that a Chargeback is likely for any transaction, We may withhold the amount of the transaction until the expiration of the period during which the User may dispute the transaction, the Chargeback is processed, or We determine that a Chargeback will not occur.
ChargebacksWe accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as payment methods. You must provide an authorization through clicking “I Agree” for every payment . Your authorization is a binding agreement for Us to charge Your card or Payment Method; and as such You waive any right to file a Chargeback for any cause, and agree to this Chargeback Policy.YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT FILE A CHARGEBACK FOR ANY AMOUNTS CHARGED TO YOUR CREDIT, DEBIT CARD OR PAYMENT METHOD ON THE WEBSITE. If You want to dispute an order or charge, You agree to contact us directly, not file a Dispute or Chargeback.If You file a Chargeback for a payment initiated by You or any authorized user of Your card or Payment Method, You agree that we may recover the amount of the Chargeback by any means deemed necessary, including, but not limited to, recharging Your card or Payment Method or having the amount recovered by a collection agency.You understand and agree that in the event You initiate a Chargeback with a Payment Method provider for a Product or Service You have received and in fact owe payment for, and You are successful in recovering the disputed funds that would otherwise be owed to the Us, We will make every effort to provide documentation to the Payment Method provider that You did receive the Product or Service. We may in Our sole discretion dispute such Chargeback through all available means, including without limitation, by third-party debt collection services, in which event We shall be entitled to recover the cost of collection.Further, We reserve the right to issue an invoice/send a bill to You for any and all Product or Service that We have sold and delivered to You. You hereby agree to pay the invoice or bill in full in the event that a Chargeback dispute is initiated. Should You fail to make appropriate payment, We shall pursue any and all available legal and equitable remedies available by law.You acknowledge and agree that We will be entitled to recover any Chargebacks that may be imposed on Us by a Payment Method provider or third parties, plus associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties, as well as any processing or any other fees whatsoever incurred by Us on those Chargebacks, in addition to any other sums that may be due hereunder.

Return of “Product Not As Described”You agree not to file a Chargeback for the reason of “Product Not As Described”. If You want to dispute an order or charge, You agree to file for a Return or Cancellation, not a Chargeback.
Chargeback FraudA fraudulent Chargeback occurs when a customer attempts to dispute a charge for a Product or Service that he/she has actually purchased. Attempting to dispute a valid credit card charge is fraudulent and is illegal. We do not tolerate Chargeback Fraud, and We follow the following procedure when it takes place:
If You attempt to dispute or deny a valid charge, We will first contact You directly, because most disputed charges occur as a result of the customers not recognizing Our charge on their statement. You will have ten (10) calendar days to reverse Your dispute upon receipt of Our e-mail, letter, or phone call.
If You do not reverse the dispute or otherwise attempt to resolve the situation, We will file a police report with Your local authorities and seek criminal charges against You.
Your account will be turned over to a collection agency, which will initiate collection activities as well as report Your account as delinquent to all of the major credit bureaus.
If You still do not resolve the situation by either reversing the dispute or reimbursing Us for the amount disputed plus Our bank fees, We will file a civil lawsuit against You for the amount disputed, for bank fees related to the Chargeback, for additional damages for the harm Your Chargeback causes to Our merchant credit record, and for punitive damages as the courts do not take credit card fraud lightly.
Chargeback Abuse PolicyYou agree not to abuse any Payment Method provider’s Chargeback policy and this Chargeback Policy.In the event that You have filed a Chargeback, and the Chargeback was resolved in Our favor by the Payment Method provider, You agree to terminate Your Chargeback with the Payment Method provider immediately, and You agree to reimburse Us for any costs incurred in researching and responding to such Chargeback, including without limitation, Our actual costs paid to the credit card processor or Our banks, other third parties, and the reasonable value of the time of Our employees and owners spent on the matter, as determined in Our discretion in good faith.In the event that a Chargeback is placed or threatened on a purchase, We reserve the right to report the incident for inclusion in Chargeback abuser database(s) of Our choosing and in Our sole discretion. The information reported will include name, email address, order date, order amount, IP address, full address, and phone number. Being listed on such databases may make it more difficult or even impossible for the abuser to use credit card(s) on future purchases with Us or other merchants. Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database shall make payment to Us for any outstanding amount owed to Us + $150 for processing and handling by wire transfer or such other means as We may require. All legal fees and collection fees accrued in the entire process will be added to the total collection amount owed by abuser.ALL UNRESOLVED CHARGEBACK ABUSE ISSUES COMMITTED WILL IMMEDIATELY BE REPORTED TO MAJOR CREDIT BUREAUS, CHARGEBACK ABUSERS DATABASES, AND COLLECTION COMPANIES. THIS CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE CREDIT RATINGS FOR UP TO 7 YEARS.

Cancellation Policy
Effective: November 7th, 2020.
Updated: August 30th, 2023.
We understand that sometimes issues arise that will require you to cancel or reschedule your service appointment. We strive to be as flexible as possible, while also being considerate of our Service Providers' time and resources. With this in mind, there are two types of fees that you may be subject to if you decide to cancel a confirmed appointment - Match Fee and Cancellation Fee.Customers may cancel or reschedule a service request at any time while the request is awaiting assignment to a service provider without facing any penalty or charge. Cancelling a service request under other circumstances may incur a Cancellation Fee and/or Match Fee as outlined below:
When Fees Do Not Apply:• Cancelling a service request that has not been confirmed with a service provider.• Cancelling a service request in which the service provider was a “no call, no show” for a confirmed appointment.• Cancelling a service request that was confirmed with a service provider, but that service provider has since released the job (meaning they are no longer able or willing to complete the job), and the cancellation occurs before the service request has been confirmed with a replacement service provider.
When Fees Do Apply:• Cancelling a service request, when that service request has a confirmed appointment, with less than 24 hours notice before the start of the arrival window will result in a Cancellation Fee in the amount of 30% of the quoted service cost.• Cancelling a service request after it has been confirmed with a service provider, and the appointment date and arrival window match the customer’s most recently recorded preference, will result in a Match Fee in the amount of 20% of the quoted service cost.• Cancelling a service request after it has been confirmed with a service provider, and the customer did not have a recorded scheduling preference, will result in a Match Fee in the amount of 20% of the quoted service cost.Note: When applicable, customers may be charged both the Cancellation Fee and the Match Fee. For example: if the customer’s service request is confirmed with a local service provider for the customer’s preferred day and arrival window, and the customer cancels the appointment with less than 24 hours notice, then both the Cancellation Fee and Match Fee will apply.• If a cancellation occurs as a result of the service provider arriving to perform the job, and the scope of work entered by the customer during the booking process does not match what is being asked of the service provider, a Cancellation Fee in the amount of 30% of the quoted service cost and a Match Fee in the amount of 20% of the quoted service cost will be charged.• If the service provider arrives to an appointment and the customer is not present, or otherwise prevents the service provider from performing the work, the job will be cancelled and a Cancellation Fee in the amount of 30% of the quoted service cost and a Match Fee in the amount of 20% of the quoted service cost will be charged.
We strive to be as fair and accommodating as possible to all parties involved. If you feel as if your situation regarding a cancellation needs special attention, please reach out to us. We’re here to help!
