3.6 Execution

The terms and conditions for rendering Freelancer Services are a matter of agreement between the Freelancer and the Consumer (each such agreement as an “Addendum” to the terms or a “Service Contract”). However, with a view to ensure security of payments due and owing to the Freelancer:

3.6.1 The addendum shall be executed between the Consumer and Flexiple, specifying the mode of engagement, whether on an hourly or monthly basis. For the purpose of drafting this addendum, the Consumer might be required to provide all necessary details pertaining to the engagement, including but not limited to:

Leave policy
Work timings
Communication protocols
Payment terms and related calculations

Number of working days considered in a month (23/ 31)
Whether off-days can be offset by work performed on weekends

List of paid holidays, and
Paid time off (PTO) policy per month and the leave accrual policy

3.6.2 The Consumer expressly acknowledges that they will be engaging directly with the Freelancer without any project management oversight or involvement from Flexiple.

3.6.3 The initial four (4) weeks of the engagement shall constitute a ‘trial period’. During this period:

Flexiple will send weekly emails to the Consumer to seek explicit approval for the work performed by the Freelancer. This explicit approval will help streamline expectations between the Consumer and the Freelancer and in resolution of grievance as outlined in Section 3.8.3.
The feedback shared by Consumer is transparently conveyed to the Freelancer over the engagement kick-off email, along with suggested next steps.
If the Consumer fails to share explicit feedback within 5 business days from the receipt of the communication from Flexiple, it would be assumed that the engagement is running smoothly and the Consumer wants to move to the next week of trial till week 4 or close it successfully, if the 4-week period is over.
If by the end of the initial 4 week trial, the Consumer is still unsure, they may choose to extend the trial by another 2 weeks (to be communicated before the end of the 3rd week of trial).
The extension, along with the reasons for Consumer’s dissatisfaction shall be shared by the Consumer with the Freelancer.
The Consumer can confirm the end of the trial period over email, anytime, even during the initial 4 weeks if the Freelancer’s performance meets the expectations.

After the trial period, Flexiple will send fortnightly emails to seek approval for the Freelancer’s work. If the Consumer does not respond within five (5) days of the email being sent, the work will be deemed approved. In cases where the Consumer does not approve the Freelancer’s work after the trial period, the Consumer shall be responsible for providing sufficient proof to validate their disapproval.

3.6.4 Payment calculations shall be carried out based on the agreed terms outlined in the addendum and accounts and records. Invoices shall be raised accordingly, and payments to the Freelancer shall be disbursed in accordance with these calculations.

3.6.5 Approval and concerns about Accounts and Records. It is expressly clarified that the release of payments to the Freelancers shall occur only upon the Consumer’s approval of the records maintained by the Freelancer, as outlined in Clause 3.9 (Accounts and Records). Once the Consumer approves the records, payments will be processed to the Freelancer, and Flexiple shall not be held liable for any delays, defects, or non-completion of the Freelancers’ services.

In the event of any disputes between the Consumer and the Freelancer, including but not limited to delayed, defective, or incomplete services, Flexiple’s role shall be limited to facilitating a discussion between the parties by opening a channel of communication. The Consumer and the Freelancer may be needed provide relevant context or evidence to support their respective positions in the event of a dispute, with Flexiple assuming no responsibility or liability for resolving such disputes.

Unless otherwise agreed between Flexiple and the Consumer, for any payment due to us that is delayed more than three (3) business days past the due date, fifteen percent (15%) interest will be added to the total amount due, compounded every thirty (30) days after payment is due, in addition to collections costs and fees incurred including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, court costs and other related collection expenses.

3.6.7 Termination of engagement:

The Freelancer may terminate the engagement by providing a thirty (30) day notice anytime during the term of the engagement. Please note that this also includes the 4 week trial-period.
The Consumer may terminate the engagement by providing a one (1) day notice in case of non-performance, material breach, willful misconduct, or negligence.
The Consumer may terminate the engagement with thirty (30) day notice, if the reason for termination is not mentioned in the above point 3.6.7 (II).

Upon completion of the Initial Term, the Addendum shall automatically renew for the same period as the Initial Term (hereafter referred to as the "Renewal Term"), unless either party provides written notice of its intention not to renew at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent Renewal Term. This process shall continue indefinitely, unless terminated in accordance with these Terms, constituting the arrangement as a "Rolling Contract". Unless otherwise mutually agreed between Flexiple and the Client/ Freelancer under their respective Addendums, either party shall have the right to terminate the Addendum only during the Renewal Term by providing at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases of non-performance, material breach, willful misconduct, gross negligence or misrepresentation by the Freelancer, the Client may provide written notice of termination with a notice period of one (1) day along with substantial proof as described above in section 3.6.7.

3.6.9 The Consumer can choose to provide an asset to the Freelancer for the purpose of the engagement. The Freelancer is responsible for returning the asset in the same condition in which it was received.

If the engagement is terminated due to non-performance or notice given by the Freelancer during the one-month trial period, the Freelancer will bear the charges to return the asset to the address specified by the Consumer.
If the engagement concludes after the one-month trial period or due to a notice given by the Consumer, Flexiple will bear the charges of returning the asset to the address specified by the Consumer.

In either case, final dues to Freelancer shall be processed only after the asset is returned and accepted by the Consumer.

6.1 Payments:

6.1.1 You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation we receive for making Flexiple available to you is collected through the fee described in Clause 3 (Usage of Flexiple) and that in exchange a substantial value to you is the relationships you make with other Users, such as identifying or being identified by a suitable Person through Flexiple (the Flexiple Relationship). Flexiple only receives the fee when a Consumer and a Freelancer pay and receive payment through Flexiple. Therefore, as set out in Clause 6.2 (Communication), from the start of the Flexiple Relationship and for the entire period till another arrangement is agreed with Flexiple (the Non-Circumvention Period), you agree to use Flexiple as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments arising out of, or in relation to your Flexiple Relationship, directly or indirectly. Further, you agree not to circumvent the payment methods offered on Flexiple. For avoidance of doubt, if you, or the business you represent, did not identify and were not identified by another Person through Flexiple, such as if you and another User worked together before meeting on Flexiple, then the Non-Circumvention Period does not apply. If you use Flexiple as an employee, agent, or representative of another business, then the Non-Circumvention Period applies to you and other employees, agents, or representatives of the business or its successor when acting in that capacity with respect to the other User. Without limitation to the generality of this Clause 6.1 (Payments), you agree not to:

Offer or solicit or accept any offer or solicitation from parties identified through Flexiple to contract, hire, invoice, pay, or receive payment in any manner other than through Flexiple.

6.1.2 You agree to notify Flexiple immediately if a Person suggests to you making or receiving payments other than through Flexiple in violation of this Clause 6.1 (Payments) or if you receive unsolicited contact outside of Flexiple. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention clause, please submit a confidential report to Flexiple at hrishikesh@flexiple.com.

6.3.2 You agree and permit us to charge your payment method the direct placement fee (including interest) in advance, if permitted by law or send you an invoice for the direct placement fee (including interest), which you agree to pay before you start the engagement with Freelancer.
