Terms and Conditions
This agreement sets out the terms and conditions ('Terms and
Conditions') applicable to members of the service operated by
Bidajobonline.com. Applicants (referred to as 'members') must agree to the
following Terms and Conditions. In the event a member breaches or
otherwise fails to comply with any provision of these Terms and Conditions
then in addition to any other remedy available to Bidajobonline.com, Bidajobonline.com
may terminate the participation of such member in the service and/or may
withhold any payments relating to participation in the service due to such
member from Bidajobonline.com.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Bidajobonline.com
shall have absolute discretion as to whether or not it accepts a
particular applicant or site for participation in the service.
REMOVAL FROM
NETWORK
Bidajobonline.com reserves the right to
terminate the participation of any member or site without reason but
expressly including any member site that Bidajobonline.com judges to be in
violation of the Terms and Conditions.
Members in violation of
Bidajobonline.com's Terms and Conditions will be immediately deactivated.
Bidajobonline.com may deactivate members with no prior notification. Members
found in violation of the Terms and Conditions will not receive any credit
or payment from Bidajobonline.com. Members that are terminated by Bidajobonline.com on
any basis other than violation of these Terms and Conditions will be
entitled to receive any payment due from Bidajobonline.com.
REFERRAL
COMMISSIONS
The referral commission paid out will
be the one listed on the Referrals page (HERE).
If the commission rate is changed, it will only affect referrals made
after the new commission was announced. You may not refer yourself, nor
sign up for multiple accounts to collect referral fees. You may also not
partner with any other Bidajobonline.com user to share/transfer the commission
made from your own account, or else both parties will be kicked from the
service without payment. Bidajobonline.com reserves the right to delay or cancel
sending affiliate earnings if we believe the referred user will not pay
the fees they were charged, since affiliate commissions are based on those
fees.
PAYMENTS
Bidajobonline.com will typically
print and mail cheques if the member requests it AND their account balance
is equal to or greater than $30. This also applies to payments made
through the PayPal
service. All amounts are stated in and all payments will be made in US
funds. Bidajobonline.com reserves the right to suspend a withdrawal if the
source of the funds is suspected to be fraudulent. Any funds received from
an account having made a fraudulent deposit (e.g. stolen credit card) will
be reversed immediately. If in a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal
has already been processed, you will be expected to return the funds to
your Bidajobonline.com account or face account termination.
As previously
stated, any member site that Bidajobonline.com removes from the service due to
violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no credit or
payment.
COPYRIGHTS
No copyright material can be
posted on Bidajobonline.com. This includes scripts which are sold by the author.
Only posting sections of these scripts, as examples, will be permitted. A
"section" being no more than 10% of the script's contents. This is meant
to protect the author's rights.
MODIFICATIONS
Bidajobonline.com reserves the
right to change the member Terms and Conditions at any time. It is the
member's responsibility to check these Terms and Conditions from time to
time for such changes. In the event Bidajobonline.com offers any additional or
replacement services then this agreement shall apply to such services in
the absence of any new agreement specific to such services which is
entered into between the parties.
OWNERSHIP
Members agree that all
information contained on a website operated by Bidajobonline.com, and all
information compiled by Bidajobonline.com through operation of the affiliate
program, is the proprietary information of Bidajobonline.com. Personal
information provided by members to Bidajobonline.com will be kept confidential
and will not be distributed to any third party.
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
Members agree not to
post their e-mail address on the site, except in the "e-mail" field of the
signup form, or when asked by Bidajobonline.com at any other time. There should
be no need to give anyone your e-mail address. It is automatically
provided if you choose a programmer (or you are the programmer chosen for)
a project, and before that time you can use the message board to
communicate. This does not only apply to e-mail addresses, but to all
methods of communication, including phone, ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc...
See "Avoiding Commissions" below for the reason.
PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION
You are
prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless it's for
a project you (a programmer) have been picked for, or you (a webmaster)
have picked a programmer for. This includes giving out your e-mail
address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of contact outside
of this site. Bidajobonline.com provides you with message boards, which should
be sufficient for pre-project planning. The only exception to this is on
"Featured" projects. If a project has the "Featured" graphic on it, that
means the webmaster has paid a flat fee in advance, and you ARE allowed to
provide contact information in the message board. Note that the
Bidajobonline.com system does not distinguish between featured and non-featured
message board posts, so you will still get a warning when submitting an
e-mail address, even if the project is featured.
AVOIDING COMMISSIONS
You are strictly
prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a project with another
member directly (outside of Bidajobonline.com) after that project has been
created/opened and before that project has been closed (basically, during
an ongoing project). But this also applies to any project that was closed
without a programmer being chosen, and then contacting them about the
project anyway. Both parties are responsible for notifying Bidajobonline.com if
the payment amount increases (above the bid amount) after the project is
closed. Receiving a larger amount than the original project bid, without
notifying us, will be considered an attempt to avoid the commissions. When
a programmer requests a withdrawal, we always review all payments received
for each project to verify that they match the bid. If at the time of a
withdrawal request the programmer has failed to notify Bidajobonline.com staff
of a payment received above the amount of his bid (a total payment above
US$100), Bidajobonline.com reserves the right to deduct double the fee for the
amount that should have been reported. We believe our commissions are very
fair and justified for the service we provide, therefore we will
absolutely not tolerate any of this activity on Bidajobonline.com.
BIDDING
Programmers can only place bids
that equal the total amount of money they are requesting for the project.
You cannot post an hourly bid or any other abnormal type of bid. This
applies to webmasters too. Webmasters cannot create projects that directly
or indirectly require programmers to place hourly or other abnormal bids.
The only exception, for both webmasters and programmers, is when the
project is featured. See featured project information at
HERE.
FEATURED PROJECTS
The following
conditions are here to prevent abuse of the "Featured project" feature on
Bidajobonline.com. The maximum amount of money a programmer can receive for a
Featured project, through the Bidajobonline.com system, without being charged a
fee, is $2,500. Any amount received above $2,500 will be subject to the
regular fee of 5%. Note that this condition only applies to money received
with the Bidajobonline.com system; you can receive more than $2,500 for a single
Featured project, without being charged a fee, if the payment is made
outside of Bidajobonline.com. If this condition applies to a payment you
received on Bidajobonline.com, you must notify us of the amount so that we can
apply a 5% fee to the amount above $2,500. Failure to notify us could
result in temporary account suspension.
ADVERTISING
You are prohibited from
advertising your website on Bidajobonline.com. Any URL posted in a bid, project
description, or the message board, must relate to a project on
Bidajobonline.com. An example of a permissible URL: your portfolio or resumé
page.
THE ROLE OF Bidajobonline.com
Bidajobonline.com
functions as a venue to connect webmasters and programmers in a virtual
marketplace. As a neutral facilitator, Bidajobonline.com is not directly
involved in the actual transactions between users of the Site. As a
result, Bidajobonline.com has no control over the truth, accuracy, quality,
legality, or safety of postings made by users. Because verifying the
identity of a user on the Internet is difficult, Bidajobonline.com cannot and
does not confirm the identity of users. Bidajobonline.com also does not confirm
nor verify the qualifications, background, or abilities of users.
Therefore, We recommend that You be careful and exercise common sense and
good judgment when dealing with any member on the Site. You are enouraged
to review our Project Guidlines
before taking part in a project. If you are unsatisifed with another
member, the most Bidajobonline.com can do is refund the project commission you
have been charged by us. We cannot refund the money you have sent to
someone, we are not responsible for your transactions.
AND FINALLY.. .
We thank you for choosing
the Bidajobonline.com service and we look forward to a mutually successful
business relationship.
