10.Ownership

Ownership and limitations: When purchasing a Service on Freak Worker, unless clearly stated otherwise on the Seller’s Gig page/description or in the Custom Offer, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright in the work delivered from the Seller, and the Seller waives any and all moral rights (to the extent permitted by applicable law) therein. Accordingly, the Seller expressly assigns to the Buyer the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer shall be subject to full payment, 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 and its copyright shall be the exclusive property of the Buyer and, upon delivery, the Seller agrees that it thereby, pursuant to the Terms, assigns all right, title and interest in and to the delivered work to the Buyer. Some Gigs (including for custom created work) charge additional payments (through Gig Extras) for a Commercial Use License. This means that if you purchase the Gig 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 Gig Extra and will have broader rights that cover your business use.

 

For Voice Over Gigs, 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 non-commercial purposes). 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 Gig 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 Gig Extra. For further information on the type of buy-outs, please read below.

 

Furthermore, users (both Buyers and Sellers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Freak Worker, including Gig texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Freak Worker for no consideration for marketing purposes and/or other purpose relevant for the operation and function of the Site.

Customer Support will not take any action against Orders, or Weekly Reports, where the Buyer has failed to inform their Seller of issues related to the Seller’s Service and will allow Sellers to provide a resolution first. This does not include non-permitted usage of Freak Worker.

 

• Any non-permitted usage of Freak Worker encountered during an Order, after being reviewed by our Customer Support team, may result in the Order being canceled. This includes, but not limited to; harassment, unlawful behavior, or other violations of Freak Worker Terms of Service.

 

• Freak Worker will cancel Orders, or for Hourly Contracts – Weekly Report, based on, but not limited to, the following reasons:

Active Orders (after requirements were submitted to the Seller and before the Seller delivers on Freak Worker):

 

• The Seller is late and unresponsive for more than 24 hours while the Order is marked as Late.

 

• Users are abusive towards the other party through threats of low ratings or leveraging Order materials (such as logins, personal information) against each other.

 

• Users supplied or included copyright/trademark infringing materials as part of their requirements or the Seller’s delivery.

 

• The user is no longer an active Freak Worker user due to Terms of Service violations or closure of their account.

 

Delivered Orders (after the Seller clicks Deliver Now and before the Order is marked as completed): 

 

• The Seller uses the delivery system to extend the delivery due date to complete the requested service without providing the final delivered service. Note: Multiple reported offenses will result in permanent suspension of your account. 

 

• The Seller delivers no files and/or proof of work related to the agreed upon Order requirements. Note: Subjectivity of the materials in question will be reviewed by our Customer Support team. 

 

• The Seller requests additional payments, on or off the Freak Worker platform, by withholding the final delivery of services directly related to the agreed requirements.

 

• The Seller is withholding the final delivery of services for improved ratings. 

 

• Users who abuse the Request Revisions button to gain more services from Sellers beyond the agreed requirements. 

 

• Users who threaten to leave a damaging review to gain more services from the Seller not related to the agreed requirements.

 

Completed Orders, or completed Weekly Report (after the order is marked as complete and before the 14-day limitation, or 7 days for Hourly Contracts):

 

• Users who have been reported to use copyright/trademark infringing materials after verification and with proof.

 

• Users who did not purchase commercial use rights and are reported to have used the materials commercially. Note: Terms of Commercial use are found on the Seller’s Gig Page and cannot be retroactively included once the Order is completed for over 14 days.

 

• Freak Worker Customer Support will review cases of Order delivery manipulation that prevents users from fully utilizing our Resolution Center that enabled the Order to be marked as complete.
