2. Booking Contracts are solely between the Freelancer and the Company.

You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Worksome, will be responsible for performing your obligations under any Booking Contract you enter into, and that, with the exception of its payment collection obligations below, Worksome disclaims all liability arising from or related to any Booking Contracts.

Worksome does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of this information or any information provided through the Platform. You represent and warrant that you will not, and will not attempt to, supersede any terms of this Agreement or limit, reduce, or restrict Worksome’s rights or your obligations under this Agreement via any Booking Contract.

If you access the Platform through a social networking service (“SNS”), such as LinkedIn as part of the functionality of the Platform, you may link your Account with the SNS account through which you connect to the Platform (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”), by allowing Worksome to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Worksome and/or grant Worksome access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Worksome to pay any fees or making Worksome subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers.

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all SNS Content shall be considered to be Your Content (as defined in Section 7.1) for all purposes of this Agreement. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your Account on the Platform. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Worksome’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Platform.

1. TERMS APPLICABLE TO COMPANIES. This Section applies solely to the extent that you access and use the Marketplace Services as a Company.

1. Company’s use of Marketplace Services. You agree that:

1. you are responsible for the accuracy and content of your Job postings;
2. you will pay all fees payable under Booking Contracts via the Platform at the rates agreed to by the parties to the applicable Booking Contract; 
3. you will comply with the Booking Contract and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Freelancer Services;
4. you will ensure the safety of the Freelancer and its Personnel in connection with Freelancer Services performed at your premises and that you have adequate insurance in place for any third-party injury or death occurring at your premises.
5. you will refrain from interacting with a Freelancer and any Personnel on any basis other than as an independent professional contractor, and will not seek to or otherwise integrate the Freelancer or any Personnel into your own workforce by its actions, or seek to or otherwise supervise, manage and/or control any Freelancer or any Personnel. 

1. Payment for Freelancer Services. You agree to pay all Booking Fees under a Booking Contract. Upon a Freelancer’s submission of a statement of performance of Freelancer Services for which Booking Fees are owed, an invoice will be issued to you. If the Company intends to dispute any Bill (as defined below) submitted by a Freelancer, it must raise such dispute with the Freelancer within 72 hours of receipt of the invoice (the “Bill Acceptance Period”). If a Company fails to dispute a Bill within the Bill Acceptance Period, the Bill will be deemed accepted and the applicable Booking Fees will be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Booking Contract. If Booking Fees are paid in arrears, and the Company fails to raise any dispute within the Bill Acceptance Period, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted the Freelancer Services to which the invoice relates. If the Company wishes to dispute an invoice and within the Bill Acceptance Period, it must provide the Freelancer with detailed feedback via the Platform regarding what aspects of the Bill it is disputing and why. The Company and Freelancer shall use all reasonable endeavors to resolve any dispute raised by the Company. Following your acceptance of a Bill, Worksome will submit an invoice for payment of the applicable Booking Fees plus any applicable Platform Fees payable by you. Unless otherwise set forth in the Booking Contract, all Booking Fees will be due within 48 hours of receipt of the Booking Fees by way of cleared funds from the Company. In the event that you have provided a Payment Method (as defined below), Worksome or its third party payment service provider will charge, and you authorize Worksome or its third party payment service provider to charge your Payment Method, for all Booking Fees at the end of the applicable Services Acceptance Period (unless you have provided notice that you have disputed the applicable invoice in accordance with this Section 4.2). Your payment obligation to a Freelancer for Booking Fees remains in force until the Booking Fees have been invoiced to you and you have paid the invoice via the Platform. Accordingly, you understand that you will not be released from your payment obligations to the Freelancer until Worksome receives payment of the applicable invoice from you.
2. Platform Fees Payable by Company. In consideration of your use of the Platform and unless a supplementary agreement supersedes this one, Worksome is entitled to charge a Platform Fee of 4% of each Booking Fee, which may be modified on a going forward basis without affect to any Booking Contract then in effect. Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, such Platform Fees are due and payable at the same time as the Booking Fees on which the Platform Fees are calculated. Additionally, you agree to pay any amounts that would have otherwise been payable by you to Worksome in connection with a Booking Contract: (a) had you provided true and accurate information prior to entering into the Booking Contract; or (b) if a change in the applicable information after payment of the Platform Fees would have resulted in a greater amount of Platform Fees had such information been true and accurate at the time that the Platform Fees were paid. You represent and warrant that any information provided by you, based upon which any Platform Fees are calculated, is true, complete, and accurate, and will be kept true, complete and accurate at all times.
3. You understand and accept as a Company that you will make all payments via ACH transfer or credit card; provided that Worksome reserves the right, and you agree to pay any transaction fees in connection with payment via credit card.

6. subject to any agreement to the contrary between you and a Company, you retain the right to hire Personnel in performing Freelancer Services, and acknowledges that your Personnel will possess the licensing, skill and ability to provide Freelance Services; provided that: (i) all Personnel sign an agreement with you containing terms and conditions substantially similar to the Booking Contract; and (ii) you shall remain fully liable for the due performance of your obligations under the Booking Contract;

11. Worksome does not require you to perform any particular volume of Freelancer Services for any particular period as a condition of using the Platform and nothing will guarantee you a particular volume of business for you for any particular period.

1. Freelancer Use of Marketplace Services. By accessing and using the Marketplace Services as a Freelancer, you represent and warrant that:

1. you will provide complete, up-to-date, and accurate information as is reasonably requested (and whether requested before, during, or after any Booking) as to your prior projects and the work history of any Personnel and other information relating to the Job or any Booking as may be required in order for Worksome to comply with any applicable laws or its contractual obligations;

6. you are not subject to any suit, action, claim, arbitration or legal, administrative or other proceeding, or government or professional investigation, pending or threatened or affecting your ability to perform Freelancer Services, and will immediately inform Worksome of any such action.

3. Booking Fees. You will earn Booking Fees as set forth in Booking Contracts less any Platform Fees payable by you. In order to receive Booking Fees under a Booking Contract, you must submit a bill to the applicable Company via the Platform setting forth the applicable Booking Fees in accordance with the Booking Contract (a “Bill”). Booking Fees payable to you will be paid to your Payment Method within 2 business days of our receipt from the Company of the applicable Booking Fees. You, as a Freelancer, accept that you shall only receive payment of Booking Fees in respect of any Freelancer Services set out in the Booking Contract and in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Booking Contract. 
4. Platform Fees Payable by Freelancer. In consideration of your use of the Platform and unless a superseding agreement exists between you and the Company, Worksome is entitled to charge a Platform Fee of 4% of each Booking Fee, which may be modified on a going forward basis without effect to any Booking Contract then in effect. You acknowledge and agree that Worksome may set off any Platform Fees payable by you hereunder with any Booking Fees payable to you and, as such, Worksome may deduct any Platform Fees payable by you in connection with any Booking Contract from any Booking Fees payable to you in connection with that Booking Contract. Additionally, you agree to pay any amounts that would have otherwise been payable by you to Worksome in connection with a Booking Contract: (a) had you provided true and accurate information prior to entering into the Booking Contract; or (b) if a change in the applicable information after payment of the Platform Fees would have resulted in a greater amount of Platform Fees had such information been true and accurate at the time that the Platform Fees were paid. You represent and warrant that any information provided by you, based upon which any Platform Fees are calculated, is true, complete, and accurate, and will be kept true, complete and accurate at all times.
5. No Employment Relationship; No Legal or Other Advice. Neither this Agreement nor your performance under this Agreement shall create an association, partnership, joint venture, or relationship of principal and agent, master and servant, or employer and employee, between Worksome or its affiliates and you, or between Worksome or its affiliates and your employees and agents. Worksome and you agree that you and your employees and agents will receive no Worksome-sponsored benefits from Worksome or its affiliates where benefits include, but are not limited to, paid vacation, sick leave and medical insurance participation. If you or your employees or agents, are reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as Worksome’s employee, you or your employees or agents, as applicable, will become a reclassified employee and will receive no benefits from Worksome or its affiliates, except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by this Agreement of Worksome’s benefit plans or programs of Worksome in effect at the time of such reclassification, you or your employees or agents, as applicable, would otherwise be eligible for such benefits. You acknowledge your sole responsibility for complying with all federal, state and local tax filing and payment obligations that pertain to any remuneration received from users or as facilitated by Worksome (or its affiliates or agents) in connection with this Agreement, including your sole responsibility for all tax withholding, Social Security, Worker’s Compensation Insurance, unemployment compensation, medical insurance, life insurance, paid vacations, pensions, and other obligations or benefits. You acknowledge that Worksome is not rendering legal, tax, or investment advice, nor is Worksome a fiduciary of you. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you may seek advice from an appropriate professional to comply with any and all applicable federal, state, and local laws or ordinances. 

6. FEES AND PAYMENT POLICY. In order to access and use certain features of the Platform, you may be required to provide credit card information or account information necessary to facilitate payments hereunder (“Payment Method”). You agree to keep all Payment Method information true, accurate, and complete at all times. We may change our fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Platform fourteen (14) days in advance. If you are a Company you hereby authorize Worksome or its third party payment service provider to charge your Payment Method for any Booking Fees or Platform Fees upon such Booking Fees or Platform Fees becoming due and payable. Worksome retains the right, in its sole discretion, to place a hold on funds via your Payment Method for any payments for completed Freelancer Services or Platform Fees.

1. Refunds. Except as expressly set forth herein, Worksome has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct any errors made by Worksome, in each case in Worksome’s sole discretion.
2. Taxes. The payments required under this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with any products or services provided under this Agreement. If Worksome determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Worksome shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under this Agreement. If any services or products, or payments for any services or products under this Agreement are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Worksome, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Worksome for any liability or expense Worksome may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Worksome’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
3. Payment Accounts. In connection with your use of any Marketplace Services, you understand and agree that:

1. The transmission of funds for fees payable under a Booking Contract in the manner described herein is not a separate and discrete service that Worksome provides in addition to the Platform. Rather, the transmission of funds in an auditable manner is an integral part of the Marketplace Services that Worksome provides; 
2. Worksome acts as agent of each user and not as a trustee or fiduciary with respect to payments received through Worksome; 
3. Worksome holds funds delivered to it in a commingled account at a bank (each, a “Pooled Account”), and may include in the titling of a Pooled Account “Worksome, for the benefit of others” or similar words, and Worksome maintains records at Worksome that should, in the event of a bank failure, allow the FDIC to determine which funds are payable to which user; 
4. Worksome will not voluntarily make your funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy;
5. Worksome has sole discretion over the establishment and maintenance of any Pooled Account; 
6. you will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds that Worksome handles as your agent and places in a Pooled Account; and
7. in consideration for your use of the Platform, you irrevocably transfer and assign to Worksome any ownership right that you may have in any interest that may accrue on funds held in a Pooled Account. This assignment applies only to interest earned on your funds, and nothing in this Agreement grants Worksome any ownership right to the principal of the funds you maintain with Worksome. In addition to or instead of earning interest on Pooled Accounts, Worksome may receive a reduction in fees or expenses charged for banking services by the banks that hold your funds.

6. CONTENT ON THE PLATFORM.

1. Types of Content. You acknowledge that all Content contained in the Platform, is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Worksome, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available (“Make Available”) through the Platform (“Your Content”), and other users of the Platform, and not Worksome, are similarly responsible for all Content they Make Available through the Platform (“User Content”).
2. No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content. You acknowledge that Worksome has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to, Your Content or any other user Content), although Worksome reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content. By entering into this Agreement, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation chat, text, or voice communications. In the event that Worksome pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that Worksome will do so for Worksome’s benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Worksome shall have the right to remove any Content that violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. Worksome is not responsible for and does not control user Content. Worksome does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to user Content. You use all user Content at your own risk.

6. INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.

1. User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Platform and any other parties with whom you interact through the Platform; provided, however, that Worksome reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes.
2. Disputes. All issues, concerns and/or enquiries relating to a Booking or a Booking Contract and any disputes in relation to a Booking or a Booking Contract must be raised directly with the other of Company or Freelancer as applicable. Worksome may, but is under no obligation to, assist the Freelancer and the Company if they have not been able to resolve any issues or concerns that they have with the other or in relation to a Booking Contract on an informal basis. However, Worksome does not guarantee any outcome or resolution as a result of any such assistance.
3. Non-Circumvention. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein or in the Booking Contract, you represent and warrant that all payments under a Booking Contract to which you are a party will be made through the Platform in accordance with the payment terms set forth below. You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation Worksome receives for making the Platform available to you is collected through the Platform Fees described in Section 4.3. Worksome only receives Platform Fees for the Platform when a Company and a Freelancer pay and receive payment via the Platform. Therefore, for the greater of 24 months from the time you first interact with any user through the Platform or the duration of the initial Booking Contract with another user (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), you agree to use the Platform as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments with that user for Freelancer Services or otherwise arising out of your relationship with that user. For the avoidance of doubt, if you did not identify or were not identified by another user through the Platform, such as if you and another user worked together before meeting on the Platform, then the Non-Circumvention Period does not apply; provided that any payment of Booking Fees for Jobs contracted for through the Platform must be made through the Platform. You agree not to circumvent the payment methods offered by the Platform. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you agree not to:

1. submit proposals or solicit parties identified through the Platform to contract, hire, work with, or pay outside the Platform;
2. accept proposals or solicit parties identified through the Platform to contract, invoice, or receive payment outside the Platform;
3. report on the Platform any payment amounts lower than that actually agreed between users; or
4. refer a user you identified on the Platform to a third-party who is not a user of the Platform for purposes of making or receiving payments that should otherwise be made or received through the Platform.

You agree to notify Worksome immediately if a user suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Platform in violation of this Section 8.3. 

9. RELEASE. Worksome expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between users of the Platform. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, including with respect to the performance of or failure to perform any Freelancer Services, the amount or sufficiency of any Booking Fees, or the authorization to release or failure to authorize the release of any Booking Fees, you hereby release Worksome (and our 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.
10. INVESTIGATIONS. Worksome may, but is not obligated to, monitor or review the Platform and Content at any time. Although Worksome does not generally monitor user activity occurring in connection with the Platform or Content, if Worksome becomes aware of any possible violations by you of any provision of this Agreement, Worksome reserves the right to investigate such violations, and Worksome may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your license to use the Platform, or change, alter or remove Your Content, in whole or in part, without prior notice to you.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify and hold Worksome, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors (collectively, the “Worksome Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of: (1) Your Content; (2) your use of, or inability to use, the Platform; (3) your violation of this Agreement; (4) your violation of any rights of another party, including any users; (5) the actual or alleged negligence or intentional wrongdoing of you or persons under your control; (6) any liability for your payment or non-payment of federal, state, or local taxes, or other withholdings; (7) Booking Contracts to which you are a party or your interactions with other users; or (8) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, this Agreement or your access to the Platform.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires any users subject to this agreement to arbitrate disputes with Company and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Company, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (b) you or Company may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement. 
2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent [include name and address of registered agent here]. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
3. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Company. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. 
4. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Company are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 18.1 (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. 
5. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. 
6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: hello@worksome.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Company username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Company account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
7. Severability. Except as provided in Section 18.5 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
8. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Company.
9. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Company makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Company at the following address: hello@worksome.com.

This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of Denmark without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
