Policies & Guidelines

We care about transparency and want your experience with our service to be simple and safe. Here’s a clear overview of how everything works:

How the service works:

  • Freelancers list services with fixed prices that Employers may review and order.
  • Employers choose and pay for a listing; funds are securely reserved until the order is completed.
  • Once the Employer accepts the result, the reserved funds are released to the Freelancer’s balance.
  • The platform provides the technical and payment infrastructure to support this process.

 

Registration and verification:

  • Both Freelancers and Employers must register an account.
  • Freelancers are required to complete identity verification (KYC) before withdrawing funds.
  • This helps maintain security, prevent fraud, and comply with global standards.

 

Subscriptions:

  • Freelancers can choose from several subscription plans with different limits and features (e.g., number of services they can list, visibility in search, or support options).
  • Subscriptions are billed monthly and must be renewed manually at the end of each paid period.

 

Payments and refunds:

  • Payments are held in reserve until an order is marked as accepted.
  • If no deliverables are uploaded within the agreed deadline, the order is automatically cancelled and refunded.
  • Once a Freelancer submits work, the Employer has 72 hours to accept or reject it. If no action is taken, the order is automatically accepted.
  • Employers may reject a delivery up to three times, with reasons provided. After that, the order must be accepted or closed with a refund.

 

Disputes:

  • The service does not judge creative quality or subjective satisfaction.
  • What can be verified: whether deliverables were uploaded, whether the files are accessible, and whether they match the required format.
  • Any disputes regarding quality or content must be resolved directly between Freelancers and Employers.

 

Data protection:

  • Personal data (such as name, email, payment details, or verification documents) is collected only for account management, transactions, security, and compliance.
  • We do not share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

 

Cookies:

  • Cookies are used to ensure the site functions correctly and to improve usability.
  • Essential cookies support login, payments, and security.
  • Analytics and functional cookies can be managed or disabled in browser settings.

 

Other important points:

  • Freelancers are responsible for paying their own taxes.
  • Access is restricted for users in countries under international sanctions.
  • Policies may be updated from time to time; the current version is always published on the site.
