  2. Leaking a job – an instance where a customer colludes with a Service Provider to take a job off the Portal. In such case, Service Plix will not be held liable for the service rendered by the Service Provider and that is not ‘Assigned’ on the Portal.
  3. Bad behavior – any defaming, use of abusive language on or off the Portal and any activity that puts the Service Providers at harm’s way
