2. SERVICES

A. APPLICATION

The EXPERTS BRIDGE site is a marketplace where Freelancers and Users can identify themselves and buy and sell services online. These specific services requested by Freelancers, which are to be performed by Freelancers, are hereinafter referred to as “Freelancer Services”. Under the terms of this Agreement, EXPERTS BRIDGE provides services to Freelancers and Freelancers, including the hosting and maintenance of The EXPERTS BRIDGE Site, and allows for the conclusion of contracts between Freelancers. When a User and Freelancer enter into a contract between Freelancers by subsection B, User and Freelancer use The EXPERTS BRIDGE Site to engage, communicate, invoice and pay online.

Unless otherwise stated by EXPERTS BRIDGE in a separate written agreement with you, EXPERTS BRIDGE has available to you personal, non-commercial use of the Site. EXPERTS BRIDGE does not provide freelance services itself. The provision of all Freelance services is dependent upon Freelancers. EXPERTS BRIDGE, THROUGH THE EXPERTS BRIDGE APPLICATION, PROVIDES INFORMATION AND A METHOD FOR OBTAINING SUCH FREELANCER SERVICES, BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE AND DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE SUCH FREELANCER SERVICES, AND HAS NO LIABILITY FOR FREELANCER SERVICES AND/OR WORK PRODUCTS TO BE DELIVERED BY FREELANCERS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, REGULATIONS OR CODES. EXPERTS BRIDGE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH, ENDORSED, OR SPONSORED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER.

B. SERVICE BETWEEN FREELANCERS AND USERS

Upon the award of a project or contest by User to a Freelancer and acceptance of the Freelancer on the EXPERTS BRIDGE Site, or the purchase of an item from Freelancer by User, User and Freelancer shall be deemed to have entered into a contract (the “Freelancer Agreement”), under which User agrees to purchase and Freelancer agrees to provide Freelancer Services. You and the Freelancer may enter into an agreement between them in addition to these Terms, provided that you agree not to agree to any contractual provision that is inconsistent with these Terms.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with your obligations to the Freelancer. If you fail to do so, you may be liable to the Freelancer in question. You must ensure that you are familiar with all national laws (including Canadian law), international laws, regulations, ordinances, and bylaws relating to you as a user or any use of the EXPERTS BRIDGE Site.

If a Freelancer fails to perform any obligation on your behalf or causes damage to you, your property, or your rights, you are solely responsible for exercising any rights you may have. For the avoidance of doubt, we have no responsibility to exercise any rights under a contract between Freelancers and Users or for damage to your person, your property, or your rights caused by a Freelancer.

 Depending on your jurisdiction, Freelancers and Users may have rights under legal warranties that cannot be legally excluded. None of these terms are intended to override rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Each user and Freelancer acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between the user and any Freelancer corresponds to that of an independent contractor. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between Freelancers and Freelancers. Nothing in these terms shall be construed as a joint venture, partnership, or employer-employee relationship between EXPERTS BRIDGE and a User or Freelancer.

C. SUBMISSIONS

Freelancer grants to User a limited, non-exclusive, revocable right (at any time, at Freelancer’s sole discretion) to use Freelancer’s Deliverables as necessary for the performance of the Services. Freelancer reserves all other rights and interests, including but not limited to all intellectual property rights, concerning Freelancer’s Deliverables. Upon termination or termination of the contract for services, or upon written request by the User, the Freelancer must immediately return all of the User’s deliverables to the User and also agrees to delete all copies of the User’s deliverables and work product located on the Freelancer’s premises, systems or other equipment or otherwise under the Freelancer’s domain. Freelancer agrees to provide written certification to User certifying the return or disposal of User’s Deliverables within ten (10) days after receipt of User’s request for written certification.

D. WORK PRODUCT

Any work made for hire that may be copyrightable by the Freelancer in connection with a fixed-price contract for the user shall remain the property of the Freelancer until payment has been made by the user and accepted by the Freelancer. If the user pays less than the amount agreed upon in the contract for services, the Freelancer may refund the amount paid within two (2) weeks after the date of payment and retain ownership of the work product.

In the event that intellectual property rights are not assignable under applicable law, Freelancer hereby irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby does hereby grant to User an exclusive (which also excludes Freelancer), perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, Fully Paid-Up, and unconditional license to use and market the Work Product in any manner now known or hereafter discovered. In the event that the grant of the license is not fully valid, effective, or enforceable under applicable law, Freelancer hereby irrevocably agrees to irrevocably grant and hereby grants to User such rights as User reasonably requests to acquire, to the extent possible, all rights equivalent to full legal ownership. To ensure that User can acquire, formalize and use these intellectual property rights, Freelancer will: (i) transfer to User ownership, title, and ownership of media, models, and other tangible objects containing work product; (ii) sign any documents, at User’s request, to assist User with the documentation, formalization, and enforcement of its rights; AND (iii) provide User with reasonable assistance and access to information to register, formalize, secure, defend and exercise these intellectual property rights. Freelancer also irrevocably authorizes User to act and sign on behalf of Freelancer and to take any action necessary to formalize User’s rights under this Agreement. If under applicable law, Freelancer retains any rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure, and removal of the Work, and any other rights that may be known or referred to as “moral rights” (collectively, “Moral Rights”) or other inalienable rights in the Work Product or Confidential Information under this Agreement, the Freelancer agrees to irrevocably waive and hereby waives all such rights or, in the event the Freelancer is unable to waive such rights, The Freelancer agrees that it will not exercise such rights until the Freelancer has given prior written notice to the User and then only by any reasonable instructions the User issues to protect its rights.

Freelancer must ensure that no work product created or submitted by Freelancer includes software, technology, or any other pre-existing intellectual property, whether the pre-existing intellectual property is owned by Freelancer or a third party, including, without limitation, Not Restrictive, code was written by proprietary software companies or developers in the open-source community (collectively, “Pre-existing IP”), without having obtained User’s prior written consent to include such pre-existing intellectual property in the work product. Freelancer acknowledges that without prejudice to any other remedies it may have, Freelancer, shall not be entitled to payment and shall refund all payments made to Freelancer for services rendered under a contract if the work product contains Pre-existing IP. That was not approved by this section.
