The Site is a venue where our Members use our platform for online work. Clients and Freelancers become Members when they open Accounts pursuant to this User Agreement. As Members, they use the Site directory, Diary, Book a Freelancer, Search, Contacts functions to advertise, locate, introduce themselves to each other, screen and select each other, negotiate Booking terms, and enter into Member Contracts between each other. Once two Members enter a Member Contract, they use the Site to collaborate, manage and perform their Booking.
The Client and the Freelancer acknowledge and agree that when a Freelancer ‘Confirms’ a Booking requested by a Client, the Client and the Freelancer will be deemed to have entered into a Member Contract comprising the Booking terms awarded and accepted on the Site, and any other contractual provisions accepted by both Client and Freelancer and uploaded to the Site, to the extent not inconsistent with our Terms of Service.
TRENDiPEOPLE is not a party to the dealings between the Client and the Freelancer, including enquiries, posts, proposals, screening selection, contracting, performance of Freelancer Services and payment for a Booking. TRENDiPEOPLE does not introduce Freelancers to Clients or help Freelancers receive Bookings. TRENDiPEOPLE solely makes the Site Services available to enable Freelancers to identify and determine the suitability of Clients for themselves and to enable Clients to identify and determine the suitability of Freelancers for themselves. TRENDiPEOPLE does not direct, has no control over, makes no representations, and does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of Freelancer Services, the truth or accuracy of the Booking the qualifications, background, or identities of Members, the ability of Freelancers to deliver Freelancer Services, the ability of Clients to pay for Freelancer Services, or that a Client or Freelancer can or will actually complete a transaction.
TRENDiPEOPLE is not required to and may not verify any information given to us by Freelancers or Clients, nor does TRENDiPEOPLE perform background checks on Freelancers or Clients. TRENDiPEOPLE may provide information about a Freelancer or a Client, such as geographical location, or verification of identity or credentials. However, such information is based solely on data that a Freelancer or a Client submits. TRENDiPEOPLE provides such information solely for the convenience of Members and is not an introduction, endorsement or recommendation by TRENDiPEOPLE.
The Client and the Freelancer acknowledge and agree that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site depend on their performance of their covenants and agreements in their Member Contract and therefore agree to use all reasonable endeavours to perform their obligations in accordance with any Member Contract formed.
