The Site is a marketplace where Clients and Freelancers can identify each other and buy and sell Freelancer Services online. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, MyFlexiWORK provides the Site Services to Clients and Freelancers, including hosting and maintaining the Site, enabling the formation of Service Contracts, and managing disputes related to those Service Contracts. If a Client and Freelancer agree on terms of the Freelancer Services, a Service Contract is formed directly between such Client and Freelancer, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 5 (Contractual Relationship Between Client and Freelancer). When Client and Freelancer enter a Service Contract, they use the Site to hire, manage, and pay online.
4.1 Escrow accounts
An account will be created for providing Escrow Services to Clients and Freelancers to deliver, hold, or receive payment for a Job, and to make payments to MyFlexiWORK. You hereby agree to the terms and conditions applicable to such account. The terms and conditions can be accessed through this link - https://www.mangopay.com/terms/Mangopay_Terms-EN.pdf.
You hereby employ, authorize, and instruct the appointed Payment Gateway, Leetchi Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Leetchi” ) to act as escrow agent in connection with the Escrow Accounts and the payment, holding, and receipt of funds for each Job and other specified purposes (the "Escrow") in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Escrow Instructions.
5. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIENT AND FREELANCER
5.1 Service Contracts
Client and Freelancer acknowledge and agree that when Freelancer accepts a Job awarded by Client, Client and Freelancer will be deemed to have entered into a "Service Contract" with each other that is comprised of the following agreements (as applicable): (1) The Fixed Price Contract with Escrow Instructions; (2) the Job terms awarded and accepted on the Site to the extent that the terms do not purport to expand MyFlexiWORK's obligations or restrict MyFlexiWORK's rights under this Agreement; and (3) any other contractual provisions accepted by both Client and Freelancer, to the extent that the provisions do not purport to expand MyFlexiWORK's obligations or restrict MyFlexiWORK's rights under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the formation of a Service Contract between Client and Freelancer does not, under any circumstance, create an employment relationship between MyFlexiWORK and the Freelancer or a principal-agent relationship between the Client and MyFlexiWORK.
5.2 Freelancer Representations and Warranties
For the purposes of the Service Contract, Freelancer hereby represents and warrants that (a) the Work Product will be an original work of Freelancer and any third parties will have executed assignment agreement(s) consistent with the Service Contract prior to being allowed to participate in the development of the Work Product; (b) the Work Product will fully conform to the requirements and terms set forth in the Service Contract; (c) neither the Work Product nor any element thereof will infringe or misappropriate the Proprietary Rights of any third party; (d) neither the Work Product nor any element thereof will be subject to any restrictions or to any mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests, or encumbrances; (e) Freelancer will not grant, directly or indirectly, any rights or interest whatsoever in the Work Product to the third parties; (f) Freelancer has full right and power to enter into and perform the Service Contract without the consent of any third party or under applicable law; (g) Freelancer has an unqualified right to grant the license to all Background Technology as set forth in the section titled “License to Background Technology”; and (h) Freelancer will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Freelancer’s obligations under the Service Contract.
6. PAYMENT TERMS
6.1 Service Fee
Freelancer agrees that when a Client pays a Freelancer or funds related to a Job are otherwise released to a Freelancer as required by the applicable Escrow Instructions, MyFlexiWORK will first deduct and disburse to MyFlexiWORK up to 20% service fee for creating, hosting, maintaining, and providing the Site Services and then credit the balance into the Freelancer’s Escrow Account.
6.2 Membership Fees
MyFlexiWORK reserves the right to introduce a new component in, or convert any present component of, the Site Service into a paid service and introduce a subscription based mechanism. MyFlexiWORK shall ensure that before implementing the subscription based services, the existing Users shall be notified in advance.
6.3 No Fee for Introduction or Finding Job
MyFlexiWORK does not introduce Clients to Freelancers and does not help Freelancers find Jobs. MyFlexiWORK merely makes the Site Services available to enable Freelancers to do so themselves. Therefore, MyFlexiWORK does not charge a fee when a Freelancer finds a suitable Client or finds a Job. However, Client and a Freelancer are obligated to use the Site to pay and receive payment for Freelancer Services if they identified each other through the Site, as detailed in Section 7 titled "Exclusivity and Non-Circumvention," below.
6.4 Disbursements to Freelancers
Under the relevant Escrow Instructions, MyFlexiWORK automatically disburses funds that are payable to Freelancer under the Service Contract for the Job (less any applicable service fees) in accordance with the Freelancer's payment instructions provided to MyFlexiWORK within ninety days after the Freelancer Fees are due and payable from Client. Freelancer agrees that it will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds held by Leetchi prior to disbursement to Freelancer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Escrow Instructions, and except as prohibited by applicable law, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated the conditions and restrictions of the Site or this Agreement, we may instruct Leetchi to hold the disbursement of the Freelancer Fees. Additionally, we may also instruct Leetchi to hold the disbursement of the Freelancer Fees if: (a) we require additional information, such as Freelancer's passport, government-issued identification, address, or date of birth, (b) we have reason to believe the Freelancer Fees may be subject to dispute or chargeback, (c) we suspect fraud, (d) we believe there are reasonable grounds for insecurity with respect to the performance of Freelancer's obligations under a Service Contract, this Agreement, or other Terms of Service, or (e) we deem necessary in connection with any investigation; or (f) required by applicable law.
6.5 Non-payment
If Client fails to pay the Freelancer Fees or any other amounts due under this Agreement, whether by cancelling Client's credit or debit card, initiating an improper chargeback, or any other means, MyFlexiWORK may suspend or terminate Client's Account, the processing of any additional payments, and any Freelancer Services in progress. Without limiting other available remedies, Client must pay MyFlexiWORK upon demand for amounts owed under this Agreement, plus interest on the outstanding amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum interest allowed by applicable law, plus attorneys' fees and other costs of collection to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, MyFlexiWORK, at our discretion, may set off amounts due against other amounts received from or held by MyFlexiWORK, make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities in any resulting investigation or prosecution.
6.6 No Return / Partial refund of Funds
Client acknowledges and agrees that MyFlexiWORK will charge Client's designated Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees for Fixed-Price Contracts, upon Freelancer’s acceptance of the Freelancer Services. Therefore, and in consideration of the Site Services provided by MyFlexiWORK and the escrow services provided by Leetchi, Client agrees that once MyFlexiWORK charges Client's designated Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees as provided in this Agreement, the charge is non-refundable, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the Freelancer terminates the Service Contract. Client therefore agrees not to ask its credit card company, bank, or other Payment Method provider to charge back any Freelancer Fees or other Fees charged pursuant to this Agreement for any reason. A chargeback in breach of the foregoing obligation is a material breach of this Agreement. If Client initiates a chargeback in violation of this Agreement, Client agrees that MyFlexiWORK shall be entitled to the full amount that has been improperly charged back plus interest on the outstanding amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum interest allowed by applicable law, plus attorneys' fees and other costs of collection to the extent permitted by applicable law. It is hereby clarified that only in the event the Freelancer terminates the Service Contract before completing the Job, the Client shall be entitled to a refund a pro-rata share of Freelancer Fees which shall include, but not limited to, fees for the portion of the work done and MyFlexiWORK’s service fees.

In order to use certain Site Services, Client must provide account information for at least one valid Payment Method.
Client hereby authorizes MyFlexiWORK to run necessary authorizations on the Payment Method provided by Client, to store such details as Client's method of payment for Services, and to charge such Payment Method in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
By providing Payment Method information through the Site, Client represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Client is legally authorized to provide such information to us; (b) Client is legally authorized to perform payments using the Payment Method(s); and (c) such action does not violate the terms and conditions applicable to Client's use of such Payment Method(s) or applicable law.

You agree that we have the right to obtain such reimbursement by deducting amounts from future payments or withdrawals, charging your Payment Method(s), or obtaining reimbursement from you by any other lawful means.

MyFlexiWORK only deducts this Service Fee when a Client pays and a Freelancer receives payment through the Site. Therefore, for 24 months from the time you identify or are identified by any party through the Site (the "Exclusivity Period"), you must use the Site as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that party or arising out of your relationship with that party (the "MyFlexiWORK Relationship").
Non-Circumvention. You agree not to circumvent the Payment Methods offered by the Site. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you must not:
i. Submit proposals or solicit parties identified through the Site to contact, hire, manage, or pay outside the Site.
ii. Accept proposals or solicit parties identified through the Site to contact, deliver services, invoice, or receive payment outside the Site.
iii. Invoice or report on the Site an amount lower than that actually agreed between Client and Freelancer.
You agree to notify MyFlexiWORK immediately if another person improperly contacts you or suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Site. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention policy, please submit a confidential report to MyFlexiWORK by sending an email message to us at Customer Support.
