17. Disclaimer of Warranties
Information on the website is for general purposes, with no warranty on completeness, accuracy, or suitability. Tasks Expert is not liable for any loss or damage.
18. Refund Policy
Ongoing subscriptions and recurring charges may be canceled at any time. The cancellation will take place at the next billing period. A cancellation will only suspend future billings, which must take place before the billing date. Refunds for Tasks Expert membership fees are considered with a 10 days notice for cancellations or downgrades. Unused plan hours have no refunds, only rollovers. Purchases made on the customer’s credit card and subscriptions after the first month are non-refundable. If a refund is processed, a 28% handling fee is deducted and returned to the original payment method. Refunds are issued within three business days, though timelines may vary. Non-usage of plan tasks expired hours, and products/services bought on behalf of the client are non-refundable. If the client neglects to cancel their subscription before the upcoming billing date and an automatic charge is incurred, Tasks Expert will be unable to issue a refund. Certain plans may offer free trials, and clients opting not to continue beyond the trial period must cancel their subscription before its conclusion. Failure to do so, resulting in a subsequent charge, will not be eligible for a refund. Renewals are only applicable in accordance with the plan’s terms and conditions. Products or services purchased on the client’s instructions are non-refundable. Should any billing errors be identified, refunds will be processed upon approval from the relevant authority.
19. Free Trial and Discount Offers
Tasks Expert free trial period lasts for three (3) days and is designed to allow potential clients to evaluate the quality of our virtual assistant services. An account setup fee of $16 is required to initiate the free trial, which is non-refundable, reflecting the administrative costs associated with setting up a new account. The free trial is intended solely for clients to test the work process, onboarding, and the quality of services offered by Tasks Expert, and specifically excludes tasks such as data entry, data management, calling, booking appointments, research work, document creation, cold calling, and email organization. Clients interested in these services during the trial must opt for a minimum plan of 5 additional hours. If a client does not inform Tasks Expert of their decision to discontinue the services before the expiration of the free trial period, they will be automatically enrolled in a paid subscription plan. It is the client’s responsibility to communicate their decision to discontinue the services at least two (2) days before the end of the free trial to avoid charges associated with the automatic subscription. Clients may cancel their subscription following the trial if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the virtual assistant or the quality of the service, provided they submit valid feedback justifying the cancellation. Without such feedback, and failure to notify Tasks Expert within the designated period, clients will be charged $79 for the continuation of the trial services, excluding the initial account setup fee. Clients are prohibited from using multiple credit cards or identities to sign up for multiple free trials. Tasks Expert requires all clients to undergo a one-on-one consultation with a Client Relationship Manager to ensure appropriate onboarding and to facilitate accurate feedback. Tasks Expert reserves the right to enforce the terms of this Policy rigorously to ensure fairness and clarity in the provision of our trial and subscription services.
20. Alias Name Usage
To keep the contact information of our virtual assistants safe, we use alias names for our virtual assistants. This ensures no direct contact of the virtual assistant with the client apart from Tasks Expert resources. If a client is found having conversations with a VA outside of Tasks Expert, they must pay a $5000 penalty fee, and strict action will be taken against the virtual assistant if they attempt to do so. We do not share personal details of virtual assistants, such as their address, email, phone number, or name. We create alias profiles for all VAs and share those CVs only with the client. The CVs of the VAs are created by Tasks Expert to keep information safe and are crafted based on their experience, talent, and skills. If a client asks them to provide social media profiles, the VA will create different profiles based on their alias name and will not share their personal profiles with the client.
21. Client Compensation and Appreciation
If a client is happy with the VA’s work and wants to give a bonus, compensation, or show appreciation, they can tip their virtual assistant through the Tasks Expert tip portal or give a review. From both ways, the VAs are compensated. If a client wants to give a material gift, the gifts need to be sent to the Tasks Expert address in India, and it will be given to the VAs. Clients cannot give company stakes, company shares, equity, or any other form of bonus that can affect the agreement between the client and Tasks Expert.
22. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Maharashtra, India. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of state and federal courts in Maharashtra.
23. Privacy Policy
Personal information submission is governed by the Privacy Policy available at https://tasksexpert.com/privacy-policy/.
24. Termination

25. Cancellation/Unsubscription

Upon canceling their subscription with the contractor, they will not be subject to additional charges. However, they remain responsible for any charges incurred during the current billing period.
