7.The Freelancer/Client relationship
- 7.1
By sending a Proposal to a Job, the Freelancer is inviting the Client to contract with it. If the Client accepts a Proposal, this will form a legally binding Service Contract based on the scope of Services set out in the text of the Proposal and the agreed Milestones, which may also refer to the description of the Project and any messages between the Client and the Freelancer. Each of the Client and the Freelancer warrants and represents to us that it will comply with the provisions of the Service Contract.
- 7.2
If as part of the Service Contract you have agreed any additional or replacement terms to our template service contract, then at our request, you shall provide us with details of such additional or replacement terms. For the avoidance of doubt however, you may not enter into any Service Contract where the payment terms are inconsistent with the terms of Condition 10.
- 7.3
We make no representation or warranty in relation to the Service Contract. You should take appropriate advice to ensure that the provisions of the Service Contract reflect your requirements on a case by case basis.
- 7.4
The Client shall treat all personal data and other information relating to a Freelancer as confidential and shall comply with all applicable data processing laws and regulations. In particular, the Client shall:
- (a)
keep all such information secure, and not share the data with any third party, or use such data for any purpose except in relation to a Project under the terms of the Service Contract;
- (b)
take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard such personal data from unauthorised access, loss and disclosure;
- (c)
ensure that individuals processing personal data of a Freelancer are subject to a duty of confidence in relation to such personal data;
- (d)
assist us in providing subject access and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under applicable laws and assist us in meeting our legal obligations in relation to the security of processing, the notification of personal data breaches and data protection impact assessments;
- (e)
at our request, submit to audits and inspections by us to ensure that the Client is complying with its obligations under this Condition 6.6 and notify us if the Client is requested to take any action in breach of any applicable data protection legislation.
- (a)
- 7.1
-
8.Disclaimer – Your attention is particularly drawn to this Condition
- 8.1
You acknowledge and agree that the Site is provided for information purposes only. We do not act as an employment agency and/or an employment business. This means that we do not have the obligations of an employment agency and/or an employment business under the applicable laws, including any obligation to confirm the identity and/or suitability of a Freelancer for a particular Project and/or the suitability of a particular Project for a Freelancer.
- 8.2
It is therefore the responsibility of the Client to ensure the Freelancer is suitable for a particular Project. All normal, prudent checks should be carried out, including identity checks, qualifications and experience. Likewise, it is the responsibility of the Freelancer to ensure the Client and the Project are suitable for the Freelancer. Again, all normal prudent checks should be carried out including a clear understanding of the Project, including hours, deadlines and pay.

We do not warrant or represent that we:
- (a)
obtain confirmation of the identity of a Client and/or a Freelancer through the Site (although our payment providers may do so);

- (f)
propose any particular Freelancer to a Client or provide any additional information about a Freelancer; and/or

Payments are made according to the Milestones that are the subject of the Service Contract:

for Individual Milestones, the Project Fee and Admin Fee is due from the Client in advance in full and the Project Fee less the GradSkills Service Fee is released to the Freelancer when the Client confirms that the Individual Milestone has been completed; and
- (b)
for Repeating Milestones, the Project Fee and Admin Fee is due from the Client in arrears on a weekly or monthly basis, based on the cycle duration agreed between the Client and the Freelancer. The Freelancer shall submit the hours they have completed for the current cycle through the Site by midnight each Sunday for weekly cycles, and by midnight on the last Sunday of the month for monthly cycles. The Site shall then notify the Client of the details of the Project Fee and Admin Fee for this Repeating Milestone. The Client has until 5pm on the following Friday to dispute the Project Fee. If the Client does not dispute the Project Fee, then the Project Fee and Admin Fee is charged to its Stripe account and the Project Fee less the GradSkills Service Fee is transferred to the Freelancer. If the Client does dispute the Project Fee, no sums are charged to its Stripe account, and the Client should discuss the issue with the Freelancer, and then if necessary, follow the Dispute Resolution Policy.
- (a)
- 10.3
Payments made for Individual Milestones will be automatically released to the Freelancer after 90 days from the date of payment, unless:

- 10.4
Payment processing services for users on GradSkills are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”).

As a condition of GradSkills enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide GradSkills accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize GradSkills to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

If your Stripe Account has a negative amount of funds, we may, or we may instruct Stripe to:
- (a)
set-off the negative amount of funds with funds that you subsequently receive into your Stripe Account;

- 10.8
We encourage fair payment for fair work, and accordingly the Client agrees that it shall pay a reasonable sum for each Milestone that reflects a fair market rate for the Services, taking account the experience and other qualities of the Freelancer.
- 10.9
If the Client disputes a Milestone, then the Freelancer shall be entitled to raise a dispute under the Dispute Resolution Policy.
- 10.10
We may refund a payment for an Individual Milestone to a Client if:
- (a)
we are required by law or consider that we are required by law to do so;

we determine that a refund to the Client will avoid any dispute or an increase in our costs;
- (c)
following a determination to do so under our Dispute Resolution Policy;
- (d)

the Client has made a duplicate payment in error; or

If for any reason we become liable to pay any such tax liabilities, the Freelancer shall reimburse us in an amount equal to all amounts assessed to be payable by us.
- 10.14
We do not advise a Client on tax or legal issues. The Client must consider whether the engagement it proposes with a Freelancer will be classified by any regulatory authority, including a tax authority as an independent consultant, or whether the engagement is likely to be deemed as an employment engagement. We shall have no liability for any decision made by the Client or any claim made against the Client or the Freelancer as a result of such decision.
- 10.1
