Terms of use

The rules for using hire.bid. Last updated 15 November 2026.

1. Who we are

hire.bid is a free service operated by Akshay Johny, India (“we”). Contact: hello@akshayjohny.com. By using hire.bid you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy (hire.bid/privacy). You must be at least 18 to sign in.

2. What hire.bid is

A notice board: people post work they need done, and workers send prices. We are not a party to any agreement between a poster and a worker, do not employ workers, do not handle payments and do not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of any work. Check the worker yourself before hiring.

3. Posting work

Post only real work you want done, at an address you are allowed to arrange work for. Describe it honestly. Do not put links, other people’s personal data or offensive content in a post. We may edit, decline or remove posts and limit how many you can post.

4. Workers

Give true details about yourself, your work and your experience. Use only photos of your own work. Do not ask customers for fees to send a price, and do not ask for large advances. Approval of a profile is not an endorsement.

5. Contacts and messages

Use contact numbers and chat only to discuss the posted work. Do not collect, copy, sell or share numbers, and do not send spam or marketing. We limit how many contacts and messages each person can use and may suspend accounts that misuse them.

6. AI assistants

You may let an AI assistant act for you with a key from your account. You are responsible for what it posts; it follows the same rules and limits as you. Automated access without a key is limited to public information and to the published API, within its limits. Scraping contact numbers is not allowed.

7. Fair use of the service

Do not try to overload, break, scrape or get around the limits of the site. We may block addresses or accounts that do.

8. No warranty, liability

hire.bid is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from dealings between posters and workers or from use of the site. Nothing here limits rights you have under Indian consumer law.

9. Changes and law

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
