RELATIONSHIPS

To Employer and Independent Contractor
1. Conclusive Understanding of a Project It is between an Employer and a Freelancer that the terms of a project's engagement, contract, and management are negotiated and agreed upon. The Employer consents to purchase, and the Freelancer agrees to distribute, the services and associated tasks in full compliance with (a) the terms of the contract between the Employer and the Freelancer, including the Requested Project, the Scope Of the project, and any other terms and commitments communicated by the Employer and the Freelancer through the Official Site or otherwise, (b) The Terms of Service, and (c) Any other materials, such as those posted by the Employer or the Freelancer, to the Official site. You must not make any agreements that contradict our Terms of Service. Project Agreement terms that run counter to these Terms of Service are null and invalid. The Project Agreement requires the employer to manage, examine, accept, and pay for quality services and deliverables in a timely way. Freelancer is accountable for the timely delivery of high-quality work in compliance with the terms of the Project Agreement. In carrying out the Project Agreement, both the Employer and the Freelancer promise to do their best and behave fairly and in good faith toward one another.
2. Independence Freelancers and Employers both believe that they are in the position of independent contractors. No collaboration, joint - venture, corporation, or employer-employee relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Service between the Freelancer and the Employer, either between Paperub and any Employer or Freelancer. You acknowledge and agree that Paperub is not liable for any Program, Project terms, or Work Product and does not in any way oversee, direct, supervise, or assess Freelancers or their activity.
3. End Result of Labor Unless an NDA is signed by both the Freelancer and the Employer, the Freelancer will provide the Employer with the Work Product (deliverable or result) of the Project Agreement through Paperub. According to the Project Agreement, Paperub has the right to request documentation at any moment.
Authorized Members and Paperub
1. When an Employer and a Freelancer work together on a Project, it is just the two of them who are involved in the negotiations, contracts, and delivery of the Work. Paperub disclaims any liability and makes no guarantees, express or implied, about the quality, safety, legality, or propriety of any services rendered or deliverables provided or marketed of project listings, the credentials, experience, or skills of Registered Users, the capacity of Freelancers to perform services, the financial stability of Employers to pay for services, or the likelihood that either an Employer or Freelancer will be able to or will complete a Project. Paperub does not participate in the selection, termination, punishment, or working conditions of a Freelancer, and thus cannot be held liable for the actions of any such individual. Employers and Freelancers are the only parties with any legal stake in the acquisition and selling of services or other deliverables. Nothing a Freelancer needs to finish a Project will be supplied by Paperub. All rights and responsibilities emerging from Project Agreements and any additional terms, conditions, depictions, or warranty claims related to such dealings are solely between the Employer and the Freelancer, and neither may rely on the other to implement or undertake any such terms, conditions, representations, or warranties.
2. Third-Party Recipient of Project Agreement Each party to the Project Agreement recognizes and agrees that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Website are contingent upon the faithful fulfillment of the covenants and commitments between Employer and Freelancer. To enforce the responsibilities owing to Paperub and the advantages bestowed on Paperub by these Terms of Service, both Employer and Freelancer thus acknowledge and agree that Paperub is a third-party beneficiary of their Project Agreement. To safeguard the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Website, both Employers and Freelancers agree that Paperub may take such steps about the Project Agreement or their Accounts, including, but not limited to, suspension, termination, or any other legal proceedings.

Your Account will be suspended if Paperub gets the notification that it is not by any such law, rule, or regulation.

The Cost of Providing the Service, Part A When an employer pays a freelancer using Paperub's freelancer billing and payment services, Paperub deducts a charge from the payment.
1. Investment Costs To use Paperub, all Freelancers must pay a Project Fee. Depending on the Freelancer's membership category on their profile, the Employer will be charged a fee that will be subtracted from the final project payment. One might expect to pay a freelancer a project fee of between 3 percent and 10 percent.
2. Transaction Charge for Processing Employee Payments If an employer pays a freelancer, the freelancer will be charged an Employer Payment Processing Fee.

Paperub BILLING & PAYMENT SERVICES

Paperub Invoice Service:
With Paperub's Invoice Service, both freelancers and businesses can send and receive invoices and payments with ease.
1. General As soon as a Project is finished for an Employer, the Freelancer will send an electronic invoice form ("Invoice") to Paperub over the Website. A Freelancer must submit an Invoice to Paperub after completing each Project. The Independent Contractor will supply Paperub with a detailed list of the information that should be included on the Invoice ("Invoice Details"), such as the number of hours performed, the amount of money owed, and a description of the Project(s). Until such a Freelancer confirms the correctness of the Invoice Details or waives the right to examine the Invoice Details, the Invoice Details are not final. By agreeing not to check the Invoice Details, the Professional authorizes Paperub to include all information included within. Paperub RECOMMENDS THAT ALL CONTRACTORS CHECK THE FACTS OF THEIR INVOICES. Paperub shall provide the Employer with an Invoice, and the Employer must provide Paperub the amount mentioned in the Invoice ("Payment"). Paperub will subtract the relevant Service Charges owing to Paperub as indicated on the Website from the Payment made by an Employer via the Paperub Invoice Service and then send the remaining Payment to the Freelancer./li>
2. Problems with Invoices Employer agrees to pay any undisputed amounts within the time limits indicated above and to assist with Vendor in verifying any disputed amounts if Employer reasonably disputes any Invoice. For as long as an Employer has a reasonable disagreement about any portion of an invoice, the Freelancer will not be paid for the work in question. Any Payment (minus any relevant Service Charge) that Paperub is obligated to make is explicitly conditioned upon:
  - Paperub has been paid by the relevant Employer.
  - Settling any pending disputes over such Bills and/or Payments.
Security Vault Deposits with the Safe Deposit Service, businesses may hand off some of their payment duties to Paperub.
1. General If an employer asks Paperub to handle the payment for a freelancer's services, and the employer pays Paperub in advance for those services, Paperub will handle the payment for the freelancer's services (less applicable Service Charge). Freelancers will not be paid by Paperub unless an Employer has accepted those services. Upon transferring monies to Paperub, you agree that Paperub will immediately become the legal owner of those funds. If, however, (y) a Freelancer admits that services have not been accomplished, or (z) Employer and Freelancer have completed the procedures constituting the Dispute Resolution Service and the results demonstrate that Employer is the legitimate beneficiary of such funds, then Paperub tends to agree to refund such funds to Employer. If either Employer or Freelancer seeks a Dispute Settlement Service concerning the Assumed Payment Liability, Paperub shall keep both parties apprised of the progress of the request and advise them that the problem will be resolved via the Dispute Settlement Service.
2. Arguments Over Safe Deposits Employer and Freelancer acknowledge that Paperub shall have no financial commitments to any party relating to the relevant payments until such disagreement is addressed in conformity with Section 6 below, even if the issue concerns the quality or completeness of services performed by such Freelancer. Any obligation on the part of Paperub to make a Payment (minus any applicable Service Charge) is explicitly conditioned to the settlement of any pending disputes about such Payment.
