HOMZapp does not verify, manage, or guarantee a Worker's insurance coverage and is not responsible for determining whether a Worker's insurance is adequate for any particular service.

9. Public Safety and Environmental Responsibility

The Worker shall perform all Sign Post installations in a manner that prioritizes the safety of people, animals, property, and the environment.

The Worker is responsible for ensuring that the completed installation does not create a foreseeable safety hazard or unreasonable risk to:

• Pedestrians or members of the public.
• Property owners, residents, or visitors.
• Children.
• Domestic animals or wildlife.
• Vehicles using adjacent roads or driveways.
• Trees, landscaping, gardens, or other natural features.

The Worker shall take reasonable care to ensure that:

• The sign post is securely installed and stable.
• No sharp edges, exposed hardware, or hazardous materials are left exposed.
• The installation does not obstruct sidewalks, driveways, accessibility routes, emergency access, or public rights-of-way.
• The work area is left clean and free of debris, tools, packaging, or other materials that could cause injury or environmental harm.
• Installation methods minimize unnecessary disturbance to lawns, gardens, trees, and surrounding landscaping.

If the Worker believes that the requested installation location presents a safety risk or could reasonably cause injury, property damage, or environmental harm, the Worker must not proceed with the installation until the issue has been addressed or an alternative location has been approved.

The Worker is responsible for complying with all applicable laws, municipal by-laws, safety requirements, and environmental regulations relating to the installation of Sign Posts.

Failure to comply with these responsibilities may result in removal from the HOMZapp platform and may subject the Worker to responsibility for any resulting damages, claims, fines, or legal consequences, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Utility Locates and Safe Digging

For services involving ground penetration, including but not limited to Sign Post installation, the Worker is solely responsible for determining whether underground utility locates are required before beginning work.

Where required by law or by the property owner, the Worker must obtain the appropriate utility locate through the applicable Call Before You Dig or underground utility locating service before driving posts, rods, anchors, or other objects into the ground.

The Worker is solely responsible for:

• Complying with all applicable safe digging laws and regulations.
• Waiting for required utility locates before commencing work.
• Avoiding damage to underground utilities and infrastructure.
• Any loss, damage, injury, penalties, or claims resulting from failure to obtain required utility locates or to follow safe digging practices.

HOMZapp acts solely as a technology platform connecting customers with independent Workers and does not arrange, supervise, or obtain utility locates on behalf of Workers.

11. Property Permission

Before commencing any service, including Sign Post installation, the Worker is responsible for confirming that the service may lawfully proceed at the requested property.

The Worker must make reasonable efforts to verify that:

• The service location matches the order details provided through HOMZapp.
• Permission has been granted by the property owner, property manager, listing representative, or other person authorized to approve the work, where such permission is required.
• There are no visible circumstances indicating that the requested work should not proceed.

If the Worker reasonably believes that permission has not been granted, that the service location is incorrect, or that performing the work may violate applicable laws or the rights of another person, the Worker must suspend the work and promptly notify the customer and HOMZapp before proceeding.

The Worker is solely responsible for any claims, damages, fines, penalties, or legal consequences arising from performing work without the necessary authorization or permission.

HOMZapp provides a technology platform to facilitate service requests and does not verify property ownership, legal authority, easements, municipal approvals, homeowner association approvals, or other permissions required to perform the requested service.
