01. General

In order to use the Platform, you will be asked to provide us with, at a minimum, your name, company name, a valid email address, telephone number and such other information that we may request.

05. Payment for Services

a. Project Fees: In exchange for the use of the Platform and any associated services provided pursuant to a Statement of Work, Client shall pay to Field Agent the compensation and fees set forth on the Platform and/or each applicable Statement of Work. These payments can be made via a credit card or bank account or as otherwise provided in your Statement of Work. By accepting the terms of this Agreement and submitting requests for Services through the Platform, Client hereby authorizes us to initiate debit or credit entries to your credit card or bank account in accordance with this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Statement of Work. Outlined below are some of our standard options for payment terms. These terms may be altered in our Statement of Work, in such case the terms outlined in the Statement of Work will replace any outlined here.

(i) Prepaid Jobs. In the event the Services are to be provided as a prepaid job (“Prepaid Job”), Client must prepay for the Services by funding a prepaid account maintained by Field Agent. Prepaid Jobs are subject to the Field Agent Prepaid Jobs Terms and Conditions. Funds for Prepaid Jobs are maintained in a single Prepaid Job account for you solely for use of the Services. The amount of funds in a Prepaid Jobs account must be at least equal to the total amount that will be owed to Agents upon completion and acceptance of the Services and any amounts payable to Field Agent in connection with Client’s use of the Platform. If the Prepaid Jobs are purchased with proceeds from a bank account, the Prepaid Jobs may not be available for use for up to four (4) days before such funds are available for disbursement to an Agent’s payment account (“Agent’s Payment Account”). After Client’s acceptance of the Services, the payment service will debit the amount owed to each Agent from the Client’s Prepaid Jobs account, and credit each Agent’s Payment Account that amount.

(ii) Jobs on Credit. In the event the Services are to be provided as a job on credit (“Job on Credit”), Clients may request to be billed for Services as provided in the applicable Statement of Work. Jobs on Credit are subject to the Field Agent Jobs on Credit Terms and Addendum. Purchase orders are required prior to jobs being processed with terms of 0% net 30. If Field Agent Inc. enters into an alternate service agreement, the terms of such agreement will supersede those outlined in this Agreement. The amount billed to client must be at least equal to the total amount that will be owed to Agents upon completion and acceptance of the Services and any amounts payable to Field Agent in connection with Client’s use of the Platform.

b. Taxes: You agree that it is your responsibility to determine any and all taxes and duties, including without limitation, sales, use, transfer, value added, withholding and other taxes and/or duties assessed, incurred or required to be collected, paid or withheld for any reason in connection with any request for, or performance of Services, or your use of the Platform, or otherwise in connection with any action, inaction or omission of you or any of affiliate of yours, or any of your or their respective employees, agents, contractors or representatives (“Taxes”) and to collect, withhold, report, and remit correct taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and to otherwise be responsible for the collection and payment of any and all Taxes. All fees charged by Field Agent are exclusive of all taxes. You agree to provide Field Agent and its Affiliates with certain tax information upon request. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT FIELD AGENT AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL NOT, AND ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO, DETERMINE WHETHER TAXES APPLY AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO COLLECT, REPORT, OR REMIT ANY TAXES ARISING FROM ANY TRANSACTION. These responsibilities are strictly with respect to the Client actions and transaction. As liaison, Field Agent will be responsible coordinating, collecting, and reporting agent tax documentation. Including but not limited to W-9 and 1099 documentation.

c. Transaction Errors: In the event there is an error in the processing of any transaction described above, corrective debits or credits shall be made, as applicable, to correct such error, provided that any such correction is made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, we may make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate the error, which may include ordering a credit report, performing credit checks, or verifying the information you provide against third party databases. If we are unable to debit any account you select for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any applicable fees, to any other ACH-enabled bank account you have (or, in the case of any fees that are owed under this Agreement, to deduct such amounts from the funds in your Payment Account). Your authorizations provided pursuant to this Payment for Services Section will remain in full force and effect until we receive written notification from you of any termination. Any termination of these authorizations will become effective as soon as we have had a reasonable amount of time to act on it, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after written notice of termination is received by us in accordance with Section 12(e) of this Agreement. If you believe that any payment transaction initiated by us (or our agent) is erroneous, or if you need more information about any such transaction, you should contact us as soon as possible.

d. Restrictions and Limitations: We reserve the right to terminate or suspend any use of the Platform, or to delay the availability of any requests for Services, transfer or disbursement of any amounts, in each case for any reason in our sole discretion, including, without limitation, if we believe that a Client is in violation of this Agreement, or the Statement of Work. If Field Agent terminates your ability to access and use the Platform because you have violated the Policies then any Services that have been completed by Agents but not yet accepted by you will be deemed accepted.

e. Our Liability: We will not be liable if we are not able to complete a transaction for any reason, including, but not limited to:

(i) If the Platform, or any other system or equipment was not working properly and you knew or had been advised about the breakdown before you initiated the transaction;

(ii) If you do not have enough available funds in your Prepaid Jobs account or in your payment account to complete the applicable transaction;

(iii) If circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, power outages, fire, flood, mechanical or systems failure) prevent the proper execution of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions we have taken;

(iv) If your transaction is intercepted by legal process or other encumbrances restricting transfer, or your participation in the Platform has been terminated or suspended for security purposes;

(v) If we are unable to confirm your identity or have reason to believe that the transfer requested is unauthorized; or

(vi) If you have not provided us with correct, current and complete payment information.

f. Statements and Account Balances: All purchase transactions with respect to a Client’s payment account will be made available to the Client on the Platform. In addition, you may access your transaction information (“Transaction History”) online in the “Manage My Account,” and “View Transaction History” (or equivalent) areas of the Site at any time.
