Terms

Current terms, updated 13 November 2026. They cover the ManyHats app on phones and the web.

Be real

Use your own name and show your own work. Don't pretend to be someone else.

Be decent

No harassment, scams, spam or illegal services. If you break these rules we take these steps, unless it's serious enough to go straight to the third: a warning, which stops counting after 90 days; limited mode, where you can't start new chats and can still reply and finish every job and order; suspension; and one appeal, through Help, where we also read what happened outside ManyHats. You can start chats with 10 new people in an hour. Sharing a phone or WhatsApp number is fine. Staying safe, in You, says this in full.

Lists

A list you share must be your own honest opinion of people you'd use. Don't use one to harass anyone or pass off someone as something they aren't. We may take a list down if it's reported.

Bookings and money

A booking is an agreement between two people, or between a person and a business. ManyHats doesn't handle payments, doesn't employ anyone on the app, and isn't responsible for the work, the goods or payments between people.

Business pages

A business page must be for a real business in Tobago, run by people who may act for it. The business is the seller and is responsible for its licences, prices, goods and services. After the free first month the plan is a single payment, with no monthly fee or renewal; a business that hasn't paid when its free month ends has 14 days, then its page pauses without anything being deleted. ManyHats takes no commission on sales or bookings. We may take down a page or product that breaks these terms.

Offers

An offer must be for something you really do, at a price you're willing to stand by. What it includes and how long it takes are for you and the client to keep to; ManyHats doesn't enforce them and holds no money. A hat needs a real name, a place, an offer, your hours and your own work before it can be published, and we may send one back to a draft if it stops being true.

Orders and problems

An order is between you and the other person or business, and you pay them directly. ManyHats doesn't hold your money and can't get it back. If there's a problem, we keep the record of what each of you said, and we can restrict an account.

Reviews

Reviews must be honest and about a real job that the client confirmed was done. You may not confirm a job that didn't happen. Reviews stay hidden for up to 14 days, and neither side sees the other's first. Providers' reviews of clients are seen only by providers that client makes an order with.

Résumés and contact requests

Your résumé must be true and about you. Ask for someone's contact details only to offer them work, and use them only for that: never pass them on or sell them. We may end any sharing and suspend accounts that misuse contact details. ManyHats never charges anyone to apply for work.

Shop news and reviews with photos

Shop news goes only to people who follow the shop and chose its news, at most once a week. It must be about the shop: no spam, nothing misleading, and nothing the shop may not sell. Review photos must be your own and show what you bought.

Promotions

You may promote only your own hats and jobs, and the shop, products and jobs of a business you own or manage, while they are live, shown to others and not reported, and a hat needs its line and some of your work. A promotion shows the thing's own card, labelled Promoted, in the lists people look through, never on anyone's own page, in messages or at checkout. It starts once ManyHats is paid and runs for the days bought. We may stop a promotion of something that is reported or breaks these terms, with a note on any refund; one whose job, product, shop or hat is taken down, hidden or closed ends early.

Asking with no account

Asking from a public page is for real requests only, in your own name. No selling, links or copied messages: we may hold them back without saying so, and someone you ask can mark yours as spam, which stops you asking here for 30 days. The same Terms apply to orders made this way: it's between you and them, and you pay them directly. Keep your private link safe, because whoever has it can act as you. Only people with an account can write reviews. If you share an offer link, the offer must be one you really do at that price.

Jobs

A job must be real work in Tobago, posted by the person or business that will pay for it. Jobs never ask applicants for money: no fees, deposits, training costs or bank details, ever. Don't choose people by sex, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, marital status or disability (the Equal Opportunity Act). Say what the work pays where you can. A job, an interview or an offer is between you and the other person or business; ManyHats doesn't employ anyone and isn't part of the agreement. We may take down a job that breaks these terms; its applicants are told it closed.

Shops

A shop sells physical goods and services used in person in Tobago, never downloads. The shop is the seller: it sets its prices, delivery and return terms, which show before you order, and it is responsible for what it sells. You pay the shop directly; ManyHats never takes or holds the money, and refunds go between you and the shop.

Not sold on ManyHats

Weapons and ammunition; drugs and prescription medicines; anything made from turtles, coral or other protected wildlife; counterfeit or stolen goods; adult products; anything illegal to sell in Tobago. Alcohol and tobacco are not sold on ManyHats for now. Report anything else you see with "Not allowed here", and we take it down.

Discount codes

A shop decides its codes and sales and can end them. ManyHats works out the price from the shop's own terms when you order.

Alpha

ManyHats is in early alpha. Things may change or break, and data may be reset during testing.

Paying for the business plan

The plan's one payment goes to Flagship Business Systems, which runs ManyHats. Paid by card on the web, it goes through WiPay's secure page, and the receipt names Flagship Business Systems. This is only ManyHats' own fee: the money guests and buyers pay you never passes through us.
