Sweaty Quid's Terms of Service


Last Update: December 2020


Important (Important Terms)


Sellers


Do not open multiple accounts. You may only open one account per person. It is fine if you family and relatives open an account. Please note: attempts to circumvent this term will be noticed by us. We have a way of identifying VPS and VPN IP addresses.

You must use unique and non-plagiarised content in Proposals/Services. This includes text and images (you can use canva.com to create great custom graphics).

Your proposals and services must be as complete and transparent as possible. You may add some frequently asked questions and answers. This will help you to get more orders and manage buyers' expectations.

You must not misrepresent your skills.

You must be truthful. Do not misrepresent your languages or location. Do not claim to be from the United States when you are based say from India. This is misleading and fraudulent. We resere the right to permanently close your account if you are found to be in violation of this term.

For non-permanent work such as backlinks, you must not remove such work after an order has been completed. For example, if you create a permanent backlink on a website, you must not remove it after an order has been completed unless your website has been closed down. If we find you in violation of this term, we reserve the right to close down your account.

You must not defraud or cheat buyers out of their money. For example, you may not provide a copied article from another website when a buyer has ordered unique content. Attempts to engage in fraudulent and dishonest behaviour will lead to a permanent suspension of your account.

You must not promote any external websites or brands on your Proposals/Services page. You may not add backlinks/hyperlinks to your Proposals/Services. Please send all references to external websites or brands that are integral to your services to buyers via a personal message via sweatyquid.com's messaging platform.

You must not spam others on sweatyquid.com or elsewhere to buy your services (i.e. mass messaging).

You must not communicate outside of sweatyquid.com (Skype, Email, Phone, etc.).

You must not open multiple accounts or provide the same service via different Proposals/Services: this is to ensure the quality of our freelancer marketplace.

You must deliver your work or put your account in vacation mode if you are not available. If we get more than 3 requests for refunds from buyers due to you having failed to deliver on time, we reserve the right to close your account.

Before withdrawing your funds, we may ask you to verify your account by providing any form of identification and verifying your email and phone number. Failure to verify your account will lead to the freezing of your funds.

You may only withdraw your funds once you have earned a minimum of $200.

You may not carry out any illegal or harmful work on sweatyquid.com. This includes black hat spam attacks on other websites, hacking, software cracking and so on. You will know that something is illegal when you see it.

Work on adult-related sites is generally fine and accepted. Please do not post naked or uncesored pictures or materials.

Buyers (Important Terms)


You may not cancel/do a credit card chargeback or open a case with your payment provider for a completed order unreasonably or arbitrarily to unjustly enrich yourself. Our team will review the deliverables to ascertain their quality and whether they correspond to the description on the ordered Proposals/Services page. Before ordering, please ask the seller to provide a samples to get an idea of what you are going to receive. It is your responsibility to do your diligence properly. If you unduly and unreasonably do a chargeback or initiate a refund via a payment processor, we reserve the right to permanently suspend your account with no opportunity for appeal or reinstatement. We take such fraud very seriously and will strenuously combat it.

Cryptocurrency payments: if paying with cryptocurrency, please note that you may not get a refund or dispute your payment. This is the way cryptocurrency works. Please ensure that you do your due diligence and speak to the seller before ordering a service, especially for high-value orders.

Always ask for samples and explanations from sellers via our messaging platform to manage your expectations and avoid disputes. For example, if you are ordering a guest post on say a "fashion website", ask the seller to provide the url and an example guest post. Make sure to clairfy every aspect of a service before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Reviews

Reviews demonstrate the buyer's overall experience with the Sellers and their service. Buyers are encouraged to communicate to the seller any concerns experienced during their active order in regards to the service provided by the seller.

Leaving a buyer's feedback is a basic prerogative of a buyer. Feedback reviews will not be removed unless there are clear violations to our Terms of Service.

To prevent any misuse of our Feedback system, all feedback reviews must come from legitimate sales executed exclusively through the Sweatyquid.com platform from users within our Community. Purchases arranged, determined to artificially enhance seller ratings, or to abuse the Sweatyquid.com platform with purchases from additional accounts, will result in a permanent suspension of all related accounts.

Feedback comments given by Buyers are publicly displayed on a seller's Proposals/Services page. Buyers have the option not to include a comment, but still rate the service.

By offering a service, the Seller undertakes that he/she has sufficient permissions, rights and/or licenses to provide, sell or resell the service that is offered on Sweatyquid.com. Sellers advertising their Proposals/Services online must comply with laws and terms of service of the advertising platform or relevant website used to advertise. Failing to do so may result in removal of the Proposals/Services and may lead to the suspension of seller's account.

Ownership


Ownership and limitations: Unless clearly stated otherwise on the seller's Proposals/Services page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyrights for the work delivered from the seller, and the seller waives any and all moral rights therein. The delivered work shall be considered work-for-hire under the U.S. Copyright Act. In the event the delivered work does not meet the requirements of work-for-hire or when US Copyright Act does not apply, the seller expressly agrees to assign to buyer the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to buyer shall be subject to full payment for the Proposals/Services and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work shall be the exclusive property of buyer, and seller assigns all rights, title and interest in the delivered work. Some Proposals/Services (including for custom created work) charge additional payments (through Proposals/Services Extras) for a Commercial Use License. This means that if you purchase the Proposals/Services for personal use, you will own all rights you require for such use, and will not need the Commercial Use License. If you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration, or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a Proposals/Services Extra and will have broader rights that cover your business use.

For Voice Over Proposals/Services, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the buyer is purchasing basic rights, (which means the buyer is paying a one time fee allowing them to use the work forever and for any purpose except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots). If you intend to use the Voice Over to promote a product and/or service (with the exception of paid marketing channels), you will need to purchase the Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) through Proposals/Services Extra. If you intend to use the Voice Over in radio, television and internet commercials, you will need to purchase the Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) through Proposals/Services Extra. For further information on the type of buy-outs, please read below.

Sellers further confirm that whatever information they receive from the buyer, which is not public domain, shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared or used for any purpose whatsoever other than for the delivery of the ordered work to the buyer.

Furthermore, users (both Buyers and Sellers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Sweatyquid.com, including Proposals/Services texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Sweatyquid.com for no consideration for marketing and/or other purposes.

Refund Policy

Refund Policy


Do your Due Diligence Before Purchasing a Service

Before you purchase a service from a freelancer on our website, please ensure that you read their proposal carefully and contact them for samples, explanations and other relevant information. It is your responsibility to conduct appropriate due diligence before committing yourself to a purchase. Do not purchase services "blindly" as this will help you to manage your expectations. Use our private messaging system before ordering.

Arbitrary and Dishonest Cancellations for Delivered / Substantially Completed Work

In the event of a dispute between yourself and a seller, especially those involving delivered work or work that has been substantially performed, our team will review the seller's proposal, your deliverables and communication with the seller to determine whether the deliverable matches the representations made by the seller. We will not issue refunds for arbitrary and fraudulent order cancellations: i.e. you no longer need the work/deliverable but the work has been completed or you are simply nitpicking to find an unreasonable flaw in the delivery to unjustly enrich yourself by getting the services/deliverables for free. We do not tolerate such dishonest behaviour and will permanently close down your account.

Order Cancellations Disputes before Delivery


Once you realise that you no longer need something done, you should notify the seller as soon as practicably possible to ensure that they do not perform the work. It is unfair of you to cancel when a seller has started performing the work. We will issue you with a refund where the work has not been "substantially performed". We will examine all the evidence to determine whether there has in fact been substantial performance.


Pricing And Promotions Policy

Buyers


All pricing of the services provided by freelancers is on "as is" basis and is subject to change when a seller alters their pricing structure. Once you have ordered a service, the buyer may not modify the price and must deliver the work promised.

When ordering a service, you will be charged a handling fee, which is currently $10.

Sellers


We will charge you 25% from your total earnings and it will be your responsibility to cover any credit card or payment processing fees. For example, if you withdraw $200, you will be charged $50 by us + whatever the % your payment processor charges. You may only withdraw funds from your account once you have earned a minimum of $200. You can also spend your balance on purchasing services on sweatyquid.com.

When withdrawing your funds, we will may ask you to verify your account by providing copies of government issued ID, verify your telephone number and email. This is done to keep our marketplace safe and to comply with all the laws and regulations. Failure to provide necessary documents and to verify your account will lead to the freezing of your funds.
