In Simple Terms:

Don’t Do Anything Illegal

We will take every action to maintain a system that promotes legal business. Any action that violates our intent will be held accountable to the highest courts. A few illegal acts that come to mind:

  • The System cannot be used to promote sex, child labor or human trafficking.
  • The System cannot be used for coercion of any in the workforce.
  • The System cannot be used for fraudulent charges of another’s payment account.
  • The System cannot be used to attack or defame another entity.
  • The System cannot be used to create or maintain malware.
  • The System cannot be used to breach security.
  • The System cannot be used to perform effort on any asset that you have not been authorized to work on.
  • IF THE ACTIONS YOU TAKE CAN BE RULED AS ILLEGAL IN ANY COURT OF THE U.S.A., DON’T DO IT!

Don’t Do Anything Unethical

We are striving to build a community based on trust, great ethics and honest work. Anything that can be considered to contend with this pursuit will be viewed as unethical. Some of the simple ways to remain in ethical standing are:

  • Do not accept a work request without the skills to perform the service.
  • Do not ‘pad’ your time entry to charge for minutes that you did not work on the request.
  • Do not rate the buyer based on subjective criteria.
  • Do not use the System for it’s features and work outside the system for payment from the buyer.
    • NOTE: If you want to have communication or a working relationship with a buyer outside the system, we will not stop you. We just don’t see it as fair that you use our system’s features and we see no reimbursement for it.
  • Do not use the System with the intent to fabricate time entries.
  • IF THE ACTIONS YOU TAKE ARE CONSIDERED AS UNETHICAL BY US, WE WILL TERMINATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND RAISE AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY OF YOUR ACTIONS.
