2. The Discontract Platform
The Discontract Platform constitutes a technology platform that allows Clients to use Discontract Mobile Applications or Website with the purpose of organizing and creating short-term tasks (Tasks) with independent third parties that have entered into a Service Provider's agreement with Discontract and provide services available on the Discontract Platform (Services).
The Services may only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes, unless otherwise indicated by a written agreement with Discontract.
YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT DISCONTRACT ACTS ONLY AS A PLATFORM (AN INTERMEDIARY), AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTIES – CONTRACTORS WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED BY DISCONTRACT NOR ANY RELATED COMPANY, AND/OR ARE NOT OTHERWISE HIRED BY DISCONTRACT. DISCONTRACT ENTERS INTO A SEPARATE SERVICE PROVIDER'S CONTRACT WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE PLATFORM, BUT IT DOES NOT ACT AS OR HIRE SERVICE PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE SERVICES.
The Discontract Platform connects Users (Clients and Service Providers) solely for the purpose of planning and carrying out Tasks. When a Client creates a Task on the Discontract Platform, Discontract acts as an agent for Service Providers, and allows the Client to find the Service Provider they need and agree on a Service.
The Company is not responsible for communication between Users, for Tasks, or Services. Discontract does not check the competence or professionalism of Service Providers, Users' social skills, communication style, and it does not have control over Tasks, Services, the quality, timing, legality or any other aspect of Tasks and Services, nor does it have control over any ratings or reviews that Users provide to each other. The Company does not make any guarantees or statements about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, and accuracy of any Tasks, Services offered by Service Providers, Services received by Users, or any communications between Users through the Discontract Platform.
Notwithstanding the above, if at any time Discontract is made aware of facts or circumstances regarding actions through the Discontract Platform, Tasks or Services that violate or might violate any person's property and/or non-property rights and/or applicable laws, Discontract has the right to immediately remove a Task, any type of content or User from the Discontract platform without any prior notice. Discontract reserves the right to provide User names or other data to any competent institutions or other third parties that have the rights to it in matters related to violation of any person's property and/or non-property rights and/or applicable laws.
If you believe that a User's actions, Services or Tasks violate or threaten to violate your property and/or non-property rights or other legal requirements, please contact us at [email protected].
