Service Provider Rules
HuLofton connects customers with independent service providers. Providers are not HuLofton employees, contractors, agents, or approved contractors. HuLofton does not supervise your work, set your prices, control your schedule, or become a party to your customer agreements.
1. Provider confirmations
By publishing a service listing you confirm:
- I am legally allowed to offer this service in the areas I serve.
- I am responsible for any required licenses, permits, insurance, and bonds.
- I set my own prices, schedule, and methods.
- I am not a HuLofton employee or agent.
- I am responsible for my own taxes, workers, safety, and compliance.
- The information I publish about myself and my services is truthful.
2. Regulated categories
For services that are typically regulated (e.g. electrical, plumbing, HVAC, medical, legal, financial, real estate, childcare, transportation), HuLofton collects and displays credential information:
- License required: yes / no / uncertain
- License number, license type, state, expiration date
- Legal business name
- Insurance status, bond status
- Optional document upload for review
Verification statuses shown to buyers: License verified, Submitted, pending review, Provider states license not required, Unverified, Expired, Verification removed.
3. What HuLofton does not call you
- Not a "HuLofton contractor"
- Not a "HuLofton employee"
- Not a "certified provider"
- Not an "approved contractor"
You will be referred to as an independent provider, service provider, listed provider, or marketplace provider.
4. Customer disclosure
Every services surface displays: "Licensing and insurance requirements vary by location and service. Providers are solely responsible for determining and satisfying applicable requirements. Customers should independently verify credentials, insurance and current license status before hiring."
5. Conduct
Follow our Community Guidelines, Acceptable Use, and Prohibited Items policies. Do not solicit off-platform payments to avoid fees or safety protections.
