4. RELATIONSHIP WITH ZOLABID

Zolabid Not a Party to Jobs:

ZOLABID IS NOT A PARTY TO THE DEALING, CONTRACTING AND FULFILLMENT OF A JOB BETWEEN A CLIENT AND A VENDOR, INCLUDING THE VENDOR SERVICES. ZOLABID HAS NO CONTROL OVER AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SAFETY, OR LEGALITY OF VENDOR SERVICES ADVERTISED, THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF JOB LISTINGS, THE QUALIFICATIONS, BACKGROUND, OR ABILITIES OF MEMBERS, THE ABILITY OF VENDORS TO DELIVER VENDOR SERVICES, THE ABILITY OF CLIENTS TO PAY FOR VENDOR SERVICES, OR THAT A CLIENT OR VENDOR CAN OR WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETE A TRANSACTION.

Zolabid is not required to and does not verify any information given to us by Vendors, nor does Zolabid perform background checks on Vendors. However, Zolabid may provide information about a Vendor, such as a risk score or geographical location, or third party valuations based on data given to us by the Vendor or a third party. Such information is provided for the solely for the convenience of Clients and is not an endorsement or recommendation by Zolabid.

All rights and obligations for the purchase and sale of Vendor Services are solely between Client and Vendor. Client and Vendor must look solely to the other for enforcement and performance of all the rights and obligations arising from Member Contracts and any other terms, conditions, representations, or warranties associated with such dealings.

Zolabid Hourly Work Guarantee: For Hourly Jobs, excluding Jobs using Zolabid Payroll Services, Zolabid provides a limited guarantee that Clients pay only for work performed and Vendors get paid for hours worked ("Zolabid Hourly Work Guarantee").

Zolabid Hourly Work Guarantee to Client: Subject to and conditioned on the below restrictions and limitations, Zolabid will adjust the invoice or refund Client for work that is not clearly related to either Job requirements or Client instructions in the Workroom as follows:

a. Both Client and Vendor must agree to use Work View as part of the Job terms.

b. Client must have an account in good standing, the default payment method must be a valid authenticated credit card or PayPal with billing agreement enabled, and Client must agree to automatically pay for hours billed through Work View.

c. Within the Timesheet Review Period, Client must submit a dispute specifically Identifying the time billed that is not clearly related to either Job requirements or Client instructions in the Workroom. The “Timesheet Review Period” means the time between submission of a Work View timesheet at 11:59 PM Eastern time on Sunday and the following Friday at 11:59 PM Eastern time.

The Zolabid Hourly Work Guarantee to the Client guarantees only that Vendor’s work is related to either Job requirements or Client instructions in the Workroom. Zolabid does not guarantee the quality of the Vendor’s work. The Zolabid Hourly Work Guarantee to the Client shall not apply to Jobs using Zolabid Payroll Services.

Further Details: Further details concerning the Zolabid Hourly Work Guarantee may be found on the Site and are hereby incorporated by reference, provided that the Terms of Service shall govern any conflicts.

Third-Party Beneficiary of Member Contract:

Client and Vendor each acknowledges and agrees that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site depend on their performance of their covenants and agreements as set forth in their Member Contract. Client and Vendor therefore appoint Zolabid a third-party beneficiary of their Member Contract for purposes of enforcing the obligations owed to, and the benefits conferred on, Zolabid by this Agreement. Client and Vendor further agree that Zolabid has the right to take such actions with respect to the Member Contract or their Accounts, including without limitation suspension, termination, or legal actions, as Zolabid in its sole discretion deems necessary to protect the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site.

No Agency: This Agreement and any registration for or subsequent use of this Site will not be construed as creating or implying any relationship of agency, franchise, partnership or joint venture between you and Zolabid, except and solely to the extent expressly stated.

5. ZOLABID FEES

Service Fee. When Client pays a Vendor or releases escrow funds to a Vendor through the Site, Zolabid deducts a "Service Fee" that Zolabid earns for creating, hosting, maintaining, and providing the Site. After deducting such amounts, Zolabid transfers the remaining payment amount to the Vendor. The amount of the Service Fee deducted by Zolabid varies as detailed on the Site. If you are a Vendor and believe a Service Fee might be in error, please log onto the Site and click the "Manage" tab at the top of the page, then click "Workroom List." In your Workroom List, locate the appropriate job and then click 'Select Action" > "Request Fee Adjustment" to fill out the Fee Adjustment Request form. This section "Service Fee" does not apply to payments made using Zolabid Payroll Services. For a description of the fees (the "Payroll Service Fees") associated with Zolabid Payroll Services, please see the Zolabid Payroll Services Agreement.

Other Fees. Zolabid may choose to offer additional features, such as Featured Posts or verification features, for additional fees. Such features and fees are described in detail here. Zolabid may also charge fees for Inactive Accounts, as described in the Billing and Payment Service Policy, and Dormant Escrow Accounts, as described in the General Escrow Instructions.

6. PERIOD OF EXCLUSIVITY

By visiting or using the Site you agree to use Zolabid to make all payments to Vendors who identify you or whom you identify through the Site, so that Zolabid can collect its Service Fee or Payroll Service Fee. For all Vendors you identify via the Site on or after June 1, 2011, you acknowledge and agree that Zolabid earns its Service Fee or Payroll Service Fee on all payments you make to a Vendor in the first 24 months after you identify the Vendor through the Site, regardless of whether you make the payments through Zolabid or not. You agree not to take any action directly or indirectly to circumvent these fees. After 24 months, our Service Fee or Payroll Service Fee applies only if the payment is made through the Payment Service. As a Client, you also agree to notify Zolabid immediately if your Vendor solicits payment from you outside the Site.

Opt-Out: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Client pays the Opt-Out fee and Zolabid notifies both Client and Vendor that the Opt-Out option has been exercised for that Vendor, then the Client has the right to pay that Vendor outside the Site.

Any termination of an Account will automatically lead to the termination of all related Team Accounts, and any termination of a Team Account gives Zolabid the right to terminate any or all related Accounts and Team Accounts.

Without limiting Zolabid's other remedies, we may issue a warning, or temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your Account or a Job, and refuse to provide any or all Site Services to you if: (a) you breach the letter or spirit of any terms and conditions of this Agreement or the linked policies and information incorporated herein by reference, including our written policies and procedures posted on the Site or linked here; (b) we suspect or become aware that you have provided false or misleading information to us; or (c) we believe in our sole discretion that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our Members or for Zolabid or are contrary to the interests of the Site or the Zolabid user community.

IN ADDITION, VIOLATIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW AND MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS.
