The Platform — Our Role as Intermediary
IMPORTANT: Service Guru is a technology platform and marketplace. We connect Customers with independent service Professionals. We are not the service provider ourselves.
This means:
- Service Guru does not employ the Professionals listed on the Platform
- Professionals operate as independent contractors, not employees or agents of Service Guru
- Service Guru is not liable for the quality, safety, legality, or outcome of any service performed by a Professional
- Any disputes regarding service quality must be resolved directly between the Customer and the Professional
- We act as an intermediary as defined under the Information Technology Act, 2000
We will, however, make reasonable efforts to assist in resolving disputes and maintaining quality standards on our Platform.
