  13. INSURANCE FOR ITASK BIZ PROGRAM
    1. iTask is not an insurance company. All insurance offered on the iTask platform is by a third party insurance company registered and regulated by the authorities in Singapore. iTask confirms that all insurance policies are part of Third Party Services and governed by terms set out by Third Party Service providers.
    2. iTask does not represent that any insurance it acquires or which is offered via the iTask Platform is adequate or appropriate for any particular User.
    3. Each User must make its own enquiries about whether any further insurance is required and Taskers remain responsible for ensuring that they have, and maintain, sufficient insurance to cover the Services provided to other Users of the iTask Platform.
    4. iTask may also take out other insurance itself and that insurance may at iTask’s option extend some types of cover to Users. iTask reserves the right to change the terms of its insurance policies with the third party insurance providers at any time. A summary of the policies are available on the iTask website and the policy details can be requested via iTask. Users are responsible for familiarising themselves with these details.
    5. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a claim is made relating to any services performed and/or goods provided by a Tasker, and the insurance taken out by ITask (if any) responds to that claim then this clause applies. If a claim is made against a Tasker, iTask may (provided that the Tasker consents) elect to make a claim under any applicable policy and if the claim is successful, iTask reserves its right to recover any excess or deductible payable in respect of the claim from the Tasker. Where iTask makes a claim and the insurer assesses that the Tasker is responsible, iTask is entitled to rely on that assessment. If You do not pay any excess due under this clause, iTask may also elect to set this amount off some or all of the excess paid by it against future moneys it may owe to You.
    6. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a claim is made relating to any services performed and/or goods provided by a Tasker, and the insurance taken out by iTask (if any) does not respond to the claim or the claim is below the excess payable to the insurer, then this clause applies. iTask may elect to reject or pay an amount to settle a claim not covered by iTask’s own insurance policies. To the extent that the Tasker was or would be liable for the amount of the claim, if iTask elects to pay an amount to settle the claim the amount paid by iTask may be recovered by iTask from the Tasker. iTask may also elect to set this amount off against future moneys it may owe to the Tasker.
    7. Subject to any insurance or agreement to the contrary, the liability of each party to the other except for a breach of any Non-Excludable Condition is capped at the Agreed Price.
    8. For the proper operation of the iTask Platform (including insurance, proper pricing and compliance with Policies), the Tasker must ensure that, if it subcontracts any part of the performance of the Services to a third party in accordance with a Task Contract, then that third party must also be a registered User of the iTask Platform.
