AS A PROJECT SPONSOR OR A WORKER, YOU USE THE SITE AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PROJECT SPONSOR OR WORKER. WE DO NOT CONDUCT ANY INITIAL SCREENING, BACKGROUND CHECK, REVIEW OF REFERENCES OR OTHER VERIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO PROJECT SPONSORS OR WORKERS, NOR DO WE PROVIDE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING ANY WORKER OR PROJECT SPONSOR.
LANCERHOP AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY REGARDING THE QUALITY, SAFETY OR LEGALITY OF THE SERVICES, OR THE ABILITY OF WORKERS TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO PROJECT SPONSORS’ SATISFACTION. LANCERHOP AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING WORKERS OR REVIEWING ANY WORK PRODUCT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. EACH WORKER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LANCERHOP WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO PAY WORKER FOR ANY SERVICES IN THE EVENT THAT A PROJECT SPONSOR REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY SERVICES OR DOES NOT PAY FOR SUCH SERVICES.
3. Your Use of the Site.
a. Access to Site/Performance of Services. LancerHop does not provide you with the infrastructure or equipment to access the Site or perform the Services. You, at your sole cost, are responsible for (i) obtaining and maintaining your access to the Internet including all charges by internet service providers; (ii) obtaining and maintaining a computer system with a browser capable of accessing the Site and with appropriate anti- spyware, anti-malware and antivirus protections to permit you to detect and protect your computer system from malicious software or other malware; (iii) all costs, expenses and fees incurred to acquire all tools or other equipment to perform the Services and any other costs or expenses incurred in order to perform the Services. No Worker shall be entitled to any reimbursement of expenses incurred in performing the Services, unless specifically agreed to in writing signed by an authorized representative of LancerHop.
b. Internet Dangers. You understand that the Internet is an unsecure medium and some websites may be hostile and attempt to infect your computer system or software, or trick you into divulging personal information for illegal purposes. You should never provide information to third party websites while completing the Services. You should never provide personal, sensitive or confidential information requested in any e-mail including, without limitation, an e-mail requesting such information which purports to be from LancerHop. All Services performed for LancerHop are performed at your own risk and LancerHop is not responsible for (i) any loss to you caused during or as a result of your visit to a third party web site; (ii) any fraudulent e-mail or any other fraudulent activity on the Internet; or (iii) any adverse consequences resulting from any virus, spyware or malware infecting your computer system, including without limitation, any loss of data, damage to your computer system, identity theft or other adverse consequence. You understand that browser protection, anti-spyware, and anti-virus software can reduce risk on the Internet, but not eliminate it. You agree to take appropriate measures to protect yourself from web and e-mail fraud while performing Services for LancerHop. You should not perform Services which require you to visit third party websites if you are not comfortable that your computer system will be able to detect and protect itself from malware and that you will be able to protect yourself from fraud on the Internet.
c. Project Sponsors in General. Pursuant to Section 4, each Project Sponsor may be required to deposit compensation for all Services requested through the Site. Upon completion of Services to Project Sponsors’ reasonable satisfaction, the deposited compensation for such Services will be remitted to the Worker automatically (as described in Section 4 below). If a Project Sponsor is not reasonably satisfied with the Services, the Project Sponsor may reject the Services and repost the specific request. In such event, the compensation for the Services will not be remitted to a Worker until the Project Sponsor accepts the Services. To the extent you receive any contact or personal information regarding any Worker who has performed Services for you, such information may only be used as necessary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Further, you agree that you will only accept Work Product from Workers that has been submitted to Project Sponsor through the Site.
d. Workers in General. You may only register once with LancerHop as a Worker and all Services performed by you must be completed using such registration. Workers may perform Services for LancerHop based upon any Project Sponsor’s request for Services in accordance with the specifications submitted by the Project Sponsor. Workers are solely responsible for determining how the Worker will perform the Services (including without limitation, the method and means of performing the Services) and shall receive no assistance, direction, or supervision from LancerHop. However, if the Services do not meet the Project Sponsor’s reasonable satisfaction, the Project Sponsor may reject the Services and repost the specific request. In such event, you acknowledge and agree that LancerHop will not have any obligation to remit to you any compensation for such Services. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that LancerHop shall have no liability to you for any Services performed by you if the Project Sponsor does not pay for such Services. All Services you perform are subject to additional review by LancerHop after initial approval and payment, and may be rejected after payment if they are subsequently found to be unacceptable. If previously paid Services are later rejected, the amount previously paid for said Services will be debited from your LancerHop account balance. If a debit takes your LancerHop account balance below zero, your future LancerHop earnings will be applied to your negative account balance until your LancerHop balance goes above zero. Your account balance must be greater than zero in order to be paid for Services. As a Worker, LancerHop is your client and the Project Sponsor is the client of LancerHop, and as such, you and LancerHop agree that the Work Product you provide is deemed a “work made for hire” for the benefit of the Project Sponsor, and all right, title and interest and all ownership rights, including worldwide intellectual property rights in such Work Product, will vest with the Project Sponsor immediately upon your performance of the Service. To the extent any such rights do not vest in such Project Sponsor under applicable law, you and LancerHop hereby assign or exclusively grant (without the right to any compensation) all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights and Moral Rights, to such Work Product to the Project Sponsor. As a Worker, you are performing Services in your personal capacity as an independent contractor of LancerHop and not as an independent contractor or employee of the Project Sponsor. Worker and LancerHop specifically acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) Worker shall not be entitled to any compensation for any Services other than the applicable amount earned for Services accepted by a Project Sponsor, and if applicable, monies earned through participation in the LancerHop Referral Program; including without limitation, any royalties, commission or other compensation; (ii) Worker and LancerHop shall not be entitled to any license for the Work Product; (ii) Worker hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert against a Project Sponsor, its successors, licensees or assigns any and all Moral Rights such Worker may have in any Work Product; (iii) if, in the course of performing the Services for a Project Sponsor, Worker incorporates into the Work Product any invention or other property, tangible or intangible, owned by Worker or in which Worker has an interest, the Project Sponsor is granted a nonexclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, modify, use and sell such property as part of the Work Product; (iv) Worker and LancerHop hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Project Sponsor and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as your agent and attorney-in-fact to do all lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protection with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by Worker; (v) Worker will not knowingly incorporate into any Work Product materials which infringe upon any proprietary rights of third parties; (vi) Worker will not use robots, scripts or other automated methods to complete the Services unless Worker can demonstrate upon request that the quality of output of such methods is sufficient to meet the reasonable satisfaction of the appropriate Project Sponsor; (vii) Worker will submit all Work Product through the Site only, and not directly to a Project Sponsor; (viii) Worker will provide Project Sponsors for whom Worker performs Services with any information reasonably requested by Project Sponsor in connection with the Work Product or Worker’s performance of such Services; (ix) Worker is responsible for, and has and will, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority, and all license and registration requirements, applicable to the performance of the Services; (x) this Agreement does not create an association, joint venture, partnership or franchise, employer/employee relationship or independent contractor relationship between Workers and Project Sponsors; (xi) Worker will not represent Worker as an employee or agent of a Project Sponsor; (xii) Worker will not be entitled to any compensation or benefits from a Project Sponsor, including vacation pay, sick leave, insurance programs, group health insurance or retirement benefits; and (xiii) Worker is not eligible to recover worker’s compensation benefits in the event of injury.

Worker specifically acknowledges and agrees to the following: (i) this Agreement does not create an association, joint venture, partnership or franchise, or employer/employee relationship between Workers and LancerHop; (ii) Worker will not represent Worker as an employee or agent of LancerHop and shall not have the authority to act on the behalf of or to bind LancerHop in any manner; (iii) Worker is responsible for, and has and will, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority, and all license and registration requirements, applicable to independent contractors, including applicable tax laws and maximum working hours regulations; (iv) Worker will not be entitled to any of the benefits that LancerHop may make available to its employees, such as vacation pay, sick leave, insurance programs, including group health insurance or retirement benefits; (v) Worker shall be responsible for providing, at the Worker’s expense and in the Worker’s name, disability, workers’ compensation, or other insurance for Worker, should such provisions be required by the Worker’s jurisdiction. If you have any questions about your obligations to comply with local laws and regulations pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, you should seek independent legal advice.

For avoidance of doubt, if you are a Project Sponsor, if you create any tests, specifications, criteria lists or other programs for use on the Site to evaluate or otherwise select Workers they will be considered Materials for purposes of this Agreement and may be used and/or referenced by us or other Project Sponsors and Workers pursuant to the license granted above.
h. Ratings. You recognize and agree that LancerHop will implement mechanisms allowing LancerHop and others to track your requests for, or your performance of, Services and rate or score your performance as a Project Sponsor or Worker (collectively, “Ratings”). LancerHop reserves the right to collect feedback regarding your performance and to analyze and evaluate such information and other factors that LancerHop, in its sole discretion, finds relevant or useful in determining and assigning Ratings. LancerHop will have no liability to you for any Ratings or feedback posted on the Site regarding your performance as a Project Sponsor or Worker. You may not take any actions that may undermine the integrity of the feedback or Ratings system.

Worker agrees that LancerHop may utilize or disclose these Ratings in any manner that LancerHop may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate.
