1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions

By submitting your information through our Google Form to access our website ("Platform"), you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not accept these Terms, please do not submit your information.

2. Platform Description

Our Platform is designed to facilitate connections between clients or businesses seeking to fill critical roles or require assistance with budgeted projects ("Clients") and a network of independent professionals/experts ("Experts"). Clients can detail their requirements through a Google Form, and Experts can respond to these requirements with their services.

3. Data Submission and Hiring Scope

To utilize our Platform, Clients must submit accurate and complete information through the Google Form. The project scope and services offered by Experts will be determined based on this information. Any work falling outside the scope provided in the Google Form will be considered a separate project and must be submitted separately on our Platform.

4. Expert Matching

Our Platform aims to match Clients with suitable Experts based on the project details provided in the Google Form. This matching process is automated and relies on the submitted information's accuracy. While we strive to facilitate appropriate matches, we cannot guarantee a perfect match or the availability of Experts at all times.

5. Agreement between Client and Expert

When an Expert expresses interest in your submission, whether for project assistance or a full-time role, you may enter into a contractual relationship with them within the defined scope outlined in your submission. Our Platform serves solely as a facilitator for these connections and is not a party to any agreement that may be formed between you and the Expert.

6. Payments

Payments for services rendered by Experts will be based on the final payment agreed between the Expert and Client.
Payments for services rendered by Experts will be processed through the Platform's payment system.
Clients will be charged the agreed-upon fees i.e. the clients submitted budgeted amount, which include the Expert's service fees and any applicable platform service fees.
Our service specializes in connecting you with top-tier experts, tailored to your project's scope and budget. We charge a straightforward fee of 15% of the annual salary or project value, ensuring transparency and simplicity in our pricing.
In addition to this, we offer a 30-90day replacement cycle for your assurance. If the initially assigned expert does not meet your satisfaction within the first 30 days, we provide a suitable replacement at no extra fee.
For payment arrangements, we take a secure approach. 100% of the payments are held by our company and are released to your expert(s) in pre-agreed milestones throughout the project. This process is in place until project completion or the end of the 30-day replacement cycle, guaranteeing efficient management of your investment.

7. Disputes and Resolution

In case of disputes between you and Experts related to the defined project scope, we encourage both parties to resolve the issue amicably.
Our Platform is not responsible for mediating or resolving disputes related to additional scope beyond the information provided in the Google Form.
