1. Application License

2. Service Providers and Clients
Our Platform is intended to enable connection between Clients and Service Providers. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses, seeking to hire a service provider (“Service Provider”) to perform a service (“Service”). The terms of delivery or performance of such Service will be agreed directly between the Client and the Service Provider in what we refer to as an “Order”. Clients and Service Providers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.”
COMPANY DOES NOT PERFORM THE SERVICE AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS OR PROFESSIONALS TO PERFORM THE SERVICE. COMPANY DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT OR CONTROL THE SERVICE PROVIDER’S WORK IN ANY MANNER.
The Platform only enables connections between Users for the fulfilment of Services. Company is not responsible for the performance of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Orders, Service, Service Providers, Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users. Company makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Service requested and/or provided by Users identified through the Platform whether in public, private, or offline interactions.
3. No User Screening
Company does not perform any screening process to Users before they can register to the Platform. Company cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be and therefore, Company cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of identity or any information provided through the Platform.
When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property. NEITHER COMPANY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE PLATFORM AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS FROM ANY LIABILITY RELATED THERETO. COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND/OR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.
4. Order of Service
You acknowledge and agree that the Order is a contract formed when you agree on the terms of a Service with another User. The terms of the Order include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms accepted via the Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the Client and the Service Provider to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Section 3 and do not expand Company’s obligations or restrict Company’s rights under this Agreement. You agree that Company is not a party to any Order and the formation of the Order will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Company and the Service Provider.
Unless expressly agreed by the Client in the Order, it is expected that the Service Provider will personally perform the Service. If Client agrees that the Service will be provided by an assistant or helper of the Service Provider, such assistant/helper become a registered Service Provider on the Platform pursuant to Company's policies as described on the Platform. The Service Provider assumes full and sole responsibility for the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of its helpers and assistants and for all required and applicable state and federal income tax withholdings as to the Service Provider and all persons engaged by the Service Provider in the performance of the Service.
5. Payment by Clients
Payment for Service ordered through the Platform is made directly from the Client to the Service Provider and not by Company. The Client will pay Service Provider in method of payment to be agreed by them in the Order. In the future the Company may offer billing, payment and processing services, subject to additional terms to be published to the Users.
When any User, Client or Service Provider, receives confirmation through the Platform that the other respected User determined an Order as completed, such User will have to actively approve the Service is indeed complete through the approving feature. In doing so the User states that the Service was completed and performed to the User's satisfaction. Company may publish that such Order was completed with the rating of Client and Service Provider as to the quality of the Service and/or interaction between them, as well as comments and/or recommendations of the Users on the overall performance of each other, which will appear on the Users' personal profile page in the app.
Service Providers will be solely liable for the payment of any taxes , levies, imports, duties or charges levied in any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made or where the payer is located (including VAT, if applicable) resulting from the income generated through the Platform and any payments required to be paid on the services provided under the Order. The Service Provider herby acknowledges, abides and explicitly agrees to any relevant and/or local and/or applicable law.
For the avoidance of doubt uGotit shall make any deduction to payments according to any applicable law.
6. Release
The Platform is only a venue for connecting Users. Because Company is not involved in the actual contact between Users or in the completion of the Order, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release Company and its affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, and employees) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN USERS.
7. Public Areas
The Platform may contain profiles, message boards, applications, job postings, comment areas, ratings and/or other message or communication facilities that allow Users to communicate with other Users. You may only use such community areas to send and receive messages and material that are relevant and proper to the applicable forum. For the safety and integrity of the Platform, you may not share your personal contact information with other Users via the public areas of the Platform.
Private Messages and Non-Public Communications: We provide certain features that allow you to communicate more privately.
