1. The Conre Platform Connects Taskers and Clients
The Conre Platform is a web-based communications platform which enables connections between Clients and Taskers. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain short-term services (“Tasks”) from Taskers and are therefore clients of Taskers, and “Taskers” are businesses seeking to perform Tasks for Clients. Clients and Taskers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.” If you agree on the terms of a Task with another User, you and such other User form a Service Agreement directly between the two of you as set forth in more detail in Section 3 below.
TASKERS ARE INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS. TASKERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF CLIENTS AND NOT EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR FRANCHISEES OF CONRE. BY CONNECTING PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES SEEKING SERVICES WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONRE OPERATES AS AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE THAT CONNECTS CLIENTS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS (TASKERS) WHO WISH TO PERFORM A VARIETY OF TASKS.
USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CONRE DOES NOT SUPERVISE, SCOPE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A TASKER’S WORK AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE WORK PERFORMED AND THE TASKS IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, STATUTE, ORDINANCE, REGULATION, OR CODE.
Any reference on the Conre Platform to a Tasker being licensed or credentialed in some manner, indicates only that the Tasker has completed a relevant account process or met certain criteria and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Conre of such Tasker’s skills or qualifications or whether they are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for Clients to evaluate when they make their own decisions about the identity and suitability of Taskers whom they contact or interact with via the Conre Platform.
The Conre Platform enables connections between Users for the fulfillment of Tasks. Conre is not responsible for the performance or communications of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Tasks, Taskers, or Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users, or of any ratings or reviews provided by Users with respect to each other. Conre makes no warranties or representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Tasks requested or services provided by, or the communications of or between, Users identified through the Conre Platform, whether in public or private, via on- or off-line interactions, or otherwise howsoever.
2. User Background Checks and User Representations and Warranties
User Background Checks
Users may be subject to a review process before they can register for and during their use of the Conre Platform, which may include but is not limited to: identity verification, right to work checks, and criminal background checks, using third party services as appropriate (“Background Checks”). Although Conre may perform Background Checks, Conre cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be, and Conre cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of Background Check information.
When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety, data, and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. Conre will not be liable for any false or misleading statements made by Users of the Conre Platform.
NEITHER CONRE, NOR ITS PARENTS, AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS, INCLUDING THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, INVESTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, ATTORNEYS, REPRESENTATIVES, INSURERS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “AFFILIATES”) IS RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE CONDUCT, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE CONRE PLATFORM AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE CONRE AND AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE CONRE PLATFORM.

3. Contract between Clients and Taskers
You acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract with another User (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you and that User agree on the terms of a Task. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section 3, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on the Conre Platform, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the Tasker and their Client to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement, including this Section 3, and do not expand Conre’s obligations or restrict Conre’s rights under this Agreement. Conre is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create an employment or other service relationship between Conre and the Tasker, nor will it create an employment relationship between the Client and the Tasker. Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of Conre. Conre’s role, beyond enabling connections between Clients and Taskers via it’s web-based communications platform, is to act as a limited payment collection agent for the Tasker to facilitate payment for Tasks on behalf of the Tasker through the Conre Platform using the PSP. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for Tasks on the Conre Platform, Conre disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Tasker, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Tasker, either within or outside of the Conre Platform.
Where approved in advance by the Client, the Tasker is not obligated to personally perform the Task. Taskers may engage assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel (collectively “Tasker Assistants”). For safety reasons, such Tasker Assistants shall have been background checked through the Conre Platform. A Tasker’s failure to comply with this provision shall be a violation of these Terms of Service and could lead to removal from the Conre Platform. The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of such Tasker Assistants and is fully responsible for the lawful payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Tasker Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable tax withholdings as to such Tasker Assistants. Clients are responsible for confirming with their Tasker that any Tasker Assistants are registered Taskers on the Conre Platform and Clients understand that they are entering into separate Service Agreements with the Tasker and each Tasker Assistant.
While using the Conre Platform, Clients, in their sole discretion, determine whether they will be present or not when a Task is performed. Clients who elect not to be present when a Task is performed agree that if someone other than them books the Task on their behalf or is present when the Task is performed, they are appointing that person as their agent (“Client’s Agent”) and the Tasker may take and follow direction from the Client’s Agent as if such direction was given from the Client him or herself. If you are a Client’s Agent and accessing and using the Conre Platform on behalf of a Client, you represent that you have the authority to act as their agent and to bind that person as the principal to all provisions of the Terms of Service. Client assumes full and sole responsibility for the acts and omissions of Client’s Agents. Client’s Agents are deemed third parties for the purposes of the Happiness Pledge and are thereby excluded from it.
The Client shall pay their Tasker(s) in full for all Task services via the PSP as indicated on the Conre Platform, at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each User agrees to comply with the Service Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a Task.
4. Billing and Payment
Users of the Conre Platform contract for Tasks directly with other Users. Conre will not be a party to any contracts for Tasks or services. Conre is not obligated to compensate Tasker for Client’s failure to pay for services.
The Task Payment, service charge, and platform fee must be paid through the PSP. Users of the Conre Platform will be required to provide their payment method details to Conre and the PSP. Clients will be responsible for paying the invoice(s) for each Task (the “Invoice(s)”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the Task provided by the Tasker and agreed upon by the parties (“Task Payment”), (ii) any out of pocket expenses agreed upon by the parties and submitted by the Tasker in connection with the Task, (iii) the service charge Conre assesses to the Client as payable for the use of the Conre Platform, and (iv) the platform fee (sometimes referred to as Trust & Support Fee) Conre assesses to the Client, which is used to offset Conre’s cost of providing Users with customer support, providing various business objectives, or (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. In addition, a tip or gratuity, as applicable, may be added by the Client or at the Client’s direction to the Invoice(s) and all such tips or gratuities shall go directly to the Tasker. Users may also be charged credit card processing fees up to 5% of the aggregate expense amount if expenses related to a Task individually, or Tasks in the aggregate over a 30-day period, exceed $300 / 300£ / 300€, as applicable in your country. Taskers will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees, if applicable, (ii) cancellation fees, if applicable, and (iii) repayment of erroneous payments. Clients will be able to deposit their payment in advance to Conre via PSP, in such cases, Conre reserve the right to use such advance deposit without notifying the Clients. Conre is not obligated to refund the advance deposit if the Client breached a provision of this Agreement.
Taskers will be required to set up an account with the PSP, which may require any or all of the following: registration with the PSP, agreement with the terms of service of the PSP (the “PSP Services Agreement”), and completion of a vetting process and/or account validation at the request of the PSP. By accepting these Terms of Service, each Tasker agrees that they have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to, the PSP Services Agreement. Please note that Conre is not a party to the PSP Services Agreement and that you, the PSP and any other parties listed in the PSP Services Agreement are the parties to the PSP Services Agreement and that Conre has no obligations, responsibility or liability to any Tasker or other party under the PSP Services Agreement. If your country does not accept the PSP payment, no parties is not obligated to send you any substitute form of monetary payment. Alternatively, Taskers can also choose to receive gift cards or donate their earning accordingly (Section 13).
To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, Conre and/or the PSP may validate an account before activation and prior to each booking. As part of the validation process, temporary charges may be placed on the account associated with the User and then refunded within 1-3 business days. Due to the difference in PSP and credit card issuer requirements, this temporary charge may vary depending on the estimated value of the Task and expenses.
Conre reserves the right (but not the obligation) upon request from Client or Tasker, or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Conre Platform, to (i) place on hold any Task Payment, out of pocket expenses, and/or tip or gratuity (if applicable) or (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the PSP to do so.
Users of the Conre Platform will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable in the country where the Task is performed) required to be paid on the Tasks provided under the Agreement.
5. Contests, Conre’s Gift Cards, and Promotional Codes
Conre may from time to time provide certain promotional opportunities and contests to Users. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of Conre, and can be implemented, modified, or removed at any time by Conre without advance notification. The liability of Conre and Affiliates, as well as any of Conre’s corporate partners pursuant to such promotional opportunities and contests, shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 17 of these Terms of Service.
Conre gift cards (“Gift Cards”) and promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) may be available and can be used to pay Task Payments and Conre service charge and platform fee in part or in full, but may not be used to pay for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses or tips or gratuity associated with a Task provided through the Conre Platform.
(a) Promo Codes
Promo Codes are an offer by Conre to reduce the amount a Client has to pay in relation to a Task Payment, service charge, and/or platform fee. Promo Codes will not affect the amount of the Task Payment a Tasker ultimately receives. The use or application of any Promo Code is solely intended as a promotional initiative and does not in any way create a relationship or engagement between Conre or the Tasker or Client, or constitute wages, fees or other amounts paid to the Tasker by Conre. You agree that you will use Promo Codes in accordance with the terms and conditions governing the Promo Code. A new user Promo Code may only be used once by any User, regardless of the email address used during registration. Conre reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a Promo Code by you or any other User in the event that the use or redemption of a Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms and conditions or this Agreement.
(b) Conre’s Gift Cards
Conre’s Gift cards can only be used in connection with Tasks performed on the Conre Platform, are not replaceable if lost or stolen and have no expiration date. Gift cards have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash except as required by law. Gift Cards must be entered directly into the Client account; they may not be directly accepted by Taskers as a payment method.
A Gift Card cannot be combined with any other Gift Cards, gift certificates or Promo Codes. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. You cannot “reload” (or add value/balance) to your Gift Card at this time. If a Gift Card holder’s purchase exceeds the amount of that Gift Card’s balance, the Gift Card holder must pay the difference by another means. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable. Conre reserves the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if Conre believes that a billing error has occurred. Conre reserves the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity, and to cancel a Gift Card if it believes that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. Gift Cards and their use are subject to this Agreement, and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof.
You agree to comply with all Gift Card terms and conditions.

The use of any website controlled, owned or operated by a third party is governed by the terms and conditions of use and privacy policies for those websites. You access such third-party websites at your own risk. Conre expressly disclaims any liability arising in connection with your use and/or viewing of any websites or other material associated with links that may appear on the Conre Platform. You hereby agree to hold Conre harmless from any liability that may result from the use of links that may appear on the Conre Platform.
As part of the functionality of the Conre Platform, you may link your account with online accounts you may have with third party social networking service providers (such as Facebook or Google) (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”) by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information through the Conre Platform; or (ii) allowing Conre to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Conre and/or grant Conre access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Conre to pay any fees or making Conre subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting Conre access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that (i) Conre may access, make available and store (if applicable) your public profile that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (the “SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Conre Platform via your Conre account, including without limitation any friend lists, and (ii) Conre may submit to and receive additional information from your Third-Party Account to the extent specified when you link your account with the Third-Party Account. Unless otherwise stated in these Terms of Service, all SNS Content shall constitute User Generated Content. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose, and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information or personal data that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your account on the Conre Platform. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Conre’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content may no longer be available on and through the Conre Platform. You will have the ability to disable the connection between your account on the Conre Platform and your Third-Party Accounts at any time, by revoking permissions in the account settings of your Third-Party Account. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. Conre makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality, or non-infringement, and Conre is not responsible for any SNS Content.
12. Conre Operates as an Online Marketplace
Conre operates as an online marketplace that connects Clients with service providers (Taskers) who wish to perform a variety of Tasks. Taskers operate as independent business owners and are customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as that involved in the services performed for Clients through the Conre Platform. Conre does not control or direct the Taskers’ performance of their services or set their work locations or work hours. Taskers provide services under their own name or business name, and not under Conre’s name. Taskers provide their own tools and supplies to perform their services; Conre does not provide the tools or supplies. Taskers are free to maintain a clientele without any restrictions from Conre and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. Conre does not set Taskers’ hours or terms of work. Taskers are free to accept or reject Clients and contracts. Taskers are not penalized for rejecting Clients or contracts, though if Taskers accept a Client or contract through the Conre Platform, they are expected to fulfill their contractual obligations.
The Conre Platform is not an employment agency service or business and Conre is not an employer of any User. Taskers acknowledge and confirm that they are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into Service Agreements and performing Tasks and that, depending on how they exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.
13. Gift Cards pay-out and donations
Taskers may receive a maximum number of gift cards or payments via PSP unless the Client, in its sole discretion, chooses to award additional gift cards or payments to the Taskers.
Neither the Taskers nor any other party will issue any form of refund or issue any replacement gift cards or payments to Taskers if Taskers do not receive the gift card, or the gift card code does not work. Neither the Client nor Conre is obligated to answer or respond to any inquiries or other form of contact it receives from Taskers regarding any gift cards that Taskers did not receive. The gift cards offered through the Conre Platform or the App are subject to change without notice and are in no way affiliated with Google or Apple. Likewise, the process of awarding gift cards is in no way affiliated with Google or Apple.
Any email messages, including but not limited to the gift cards, may end up in email application’s “spam” or “junk” folder. Taskers should be mindful of this and regularly check these folders to ensure proper gift card delivery.
Taskers may alternatively choose to donate their earning to the Charity when permitted by law. Conre is not obligated to issue any receipts from the Charity. Neither Conre nor the Charity is obligated to issue any documents to prove the Tasker’s donation for any purposes (including but not limited to tax purposes).
14. Intellectual Property Rights
All text, graphics, editorial content, data, formatting, graphs, designs, HTML, look and feel, photographs, music, sounds, images, software, videos, typefaces and other content, including Conre designs, trademarks, and logos (collectively “Proprietary Material”) that Users see or read through the Conre Platform is owned by Conre, excluding User Generated Content, which Users hereby grant Conre a license to use as set forth above in Article 10.

Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service.

As between Conre and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Conre, subject at all times to warranty limitations and exclusions set forth in this Agreement.

21. No Agency; No Employment
No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
22. General Provisions
Failure by Conre to enforce any provision(s) of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Conre with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes and governs any and all prior agreements or communications except as otherwise specified in the Arbitration Agreement in Section 28A. However, this Agreement does not supersede other agreements about other subject matter that you may have with Conre, such as the IKEA Assembly Category Terms and Conditions. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be interpreted in a manner which makes them valid, legal, and enforceable. Except for the “Agreement Prohibiting Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” provision in the section applicable to U.S. Residents in Section 28A below, in the event any provision is found to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (1) such provision shall be modified or restructured to the extent and in the manner necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable or, (2) if such provision cannot be so modified or restructured, it shall be excised from the Agreement without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we may assign or transfer this Agreement without your consent, including but not limited to assignments: (i) to a parent or subsidiary, (ii) to an acquirer of assets, or (iii) to any other successor or acquirer. Upon the effective date of the assignment of the Agreement (a) Conre shall be relieved of all rights, obligations and/or liabilities to you arising in respect of events postdating the effective date of the assignment and, (b) the assignee entity shall replace Conre for the performance of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by you without our prior written approval. Any assignment in violation of this Section 22 shall be null and void. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of Conre, its successors and assigns.
23. Licensing
Taskers alone are responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations before offering services and undertaking Tasks. Indeed, certain types of Tasks and services may be prohibited altogether, and it is the responsibility of Taskers to avoid such prohibited Tasks and services. Penalties may include fines or other law enforcement. If you have questions about how national/ state/ provincial/ territorial and local laws apply to your Tasks and services on the Conre Platform, you should first seek appropriate legal guidance.
Because Conre does not supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor a Tasker’s work or performance of Tasks, Clients must determine for themselves whether a Tasker is qualified to perform the specific Task at hand. Clients may wish to consult their national/state/provincial/territorial or local requirements to determine whether certain Tasks are required to be performed by a licensed or otherwise registered professional. Clients may also wish to discuss with their Tasker any specific hazards, obstacles, or impediments in the Task location (both visible and concealed) that may impact the performance of the Task.
24. Changes to this Agreement and the Conre Platform
Conre reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, add to, supplement, suspend, discontinue, or delete any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Happiness Pledge) and review, improve, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Conre Platform or any content or information through the Conre Platform at any time, effective with or without prior notice and without any liability to Conre. Conre will endeavor to notify you of material changes to this Agreement by email, but will not be liable for any failure to do so. If any future changes to this Agreement are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in compliance with this Agreement, you must deactivate your account, and immediately stop using, the Conre Platform. Your continued use of the Conre Platform following any revision to this Agreement constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes, except where prohibited by any laws or regulations in your jurisdiction. Conre may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to part or all of the Conre Platform without notice or liability.
25. No Rights of Third Parties
The provisions of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and they will not be construed as conferring any rights to any third party (including any third party beneficiary rights except as set forth in Section 20) or to give any person or entity other than the User any interest, remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or any other claim of action with respect to or in connection with any agreement or provision contained herein or contemplated hereby. None of the terms of this Agreement are enforceable by any persons who are not a party to this Agreement, provided, however, that a Client’s Agent may act in the name of and on behalf of his/her Client.
26. Notices and Consent to Receive Notices Electronically
You consent to receive any agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications (collectively, “Notices”) to which this Agreement refers electronically, including without limitation by email or by posting Notices on the Sites. You agree that all Notices that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all Notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; or the day it is shown as delivered by the overnight delivery service’s tracking information, if sent for next day delivery by a recognized overnight delivery service.

27. Consent to Electronic Signatures
By using the Conre Platform, you agree to transact electronically through the Conre Platform. You agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your manual signature. You further agree that your use of a key pad, mouse or other device to select an item, button, icon or similar act/action, constitutes your signature as if actually signed by you in writing. You also agree that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate your electronic signature, and the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your electronic signature.
28. Jurisdiction-specific Provisions, including Dispute Resolution
Worker Classification and Withholdings
Conre does not employ Taskers. Conre is not responsible for and will not be liable for any tax payment or withholding, including but not limited to applicable VAT, National Insurance, employer’s liability, social security, PAYE or other payroll withholding tax in connection with a User’s use of the Conre Platform. The Tasker assumes full and sole responsibility for all required and applicable income tax and National Insurance Contributions withholdings as to the Tasker and all persons engaged by the Tasker in the performance of the Task Services. Each User assumes all liability for proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable legal guidelines.
Media and User Generated Content
To the extent permitted by law, you hereby grant Conre a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully-paid, unrestricted, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable right to exercise all copyrights, publicity rights, and any other rights you have in (1) your User Generated Content and (2) any videotape, film, recording, photograph, voice, or any instrumental, musical, or other sound effects you provide to Conre (collectively, “Media”) in exchange for use of the Conre Platform, in any media now known or not currently known in order to market, operate, and improve upon the Conre Platform, including but not limited to the right to the following:
- • Use, view, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, view, and otherwise exploit such Media or User Generated Content;
- • Exhibit, distribute, display, transmit, and broadcast on any and all media (including, without limitation, the internet), any Media or User Generated Content (or portion thereof) or any videotape, film, recording, or photograph (or portion thereof) that such User provides to Conre or that Conre takes of User, and use, reproduce, modify, or creative derivatives of such User Generated Content or Media, including such User’s picture, silhouette and other reproductions of their physical likeness (as the same may appear in any still camera photograph and/or motion picture film or video) (collectively the “Physical Likeness”) in any format and through any distribution channels;
- • Reproduce in any and all media any recordings of such User’s voice, and any related instrumental, musical, or other sound effects (collectively, the “Voice”), made in connection with the Conre Platform or any Conre promotional campaigns;
- • Use, and permit to be used, such User’s Media, Physical Likeness and Voice in the advertising, marketing, and/or publicizing of the Conre Platform in any media, in any format and through any distribution channels; and
- • Use, and permit to be used, such User’s name and identity in connection with the Conre Platform or any Conre promotional campaigns.
Further, you hereby waive any and all moral rights in connection with the Media (to the extent allowable by law). Each User warrants and represents that they have the lawful authority to grant the rights set out above, and that such rights do not negatively impact any third party rights.
Each User acknowledges that Conre shall not owe any financial or other remuneration for using the Media, Physical Likeness, or Voice provided hereunder by such User, either for initial or subsequent transmission or playback.
Each User hereby waives all rights and releases Conre and Affiliates from, and shall hold harmless against any such parties for, any claim or cause of action, whether now known or unknown, including without limitation, for defamation, malicious falsehood, invasion of right to privacy, data protection, publicity or personality or any similar matter, or based upon or relating to the use and exploitation of such User’s identity, Physical Likeness, Media, or Voice in connection with the Conre Platform.
Conre and Affiliates cannot and do not guarantee that any personal information supplied by you will not be misappropriated, intercepted, deleted, destroyed or used by others.
Background Checks
You will promptly disclose to Conre in writing if you have any potentially relevant unspent convictions or cautions (other than minor fixed penalty parking or speeding offenses), that arise during your use of the Conre Platform.
Contract between Clients and Taskers
Clients, and not Conre, supervise, scope, direct, control, or monitor a Tasker’s work and the Tasks performed, and may waive any such direction or instruction during the performance of the Task. Client’s Agent may authorize any applicable waiver of the Client’s scoping, direction, or instruction of the Tasker’s work or performance of the Task by signing in the Client’s stead. Client agrees that such direction and/or waiver is valid against Client and Client’s Agent, and Client shall be responsible and liable for all such direction and/or waiver as if made by Client him or herself.
No Liability
Regardless of any other provision in this Agreement, nothing in these Terms of Service excludes or limits liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by Conre’s negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) any other liability that, by law, may not be limited or excluded.
No Rights of Third Parties
The provisions of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and they will not be construed as conferring any rights to any third party (including any third party beneficiary rights). No terms are enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a person who is not a party to this Agreement, provided, however, that a Client’s Agent may act in the name of and on behalf of his/her Client.
Invoicing Obligations for Taskers
As a Tasker rendering services in the U.K., you may have the obligation under the Commercial Code and the Tax Code to issue invoices or receipts to your Clients. Any invoices or receipts have to comply with specific requirements. Conre is not responsible for issuing these invoices or receipts on your behalf. By accepting these Terms of Service, you acknowledge that Conre will not issue invoices or receipts on your behalf.
A Tasker rendering services in the U.K. may be required to issue invoices to its Clients. The Tasker shall be responsible at all times, and fully liable regarding, (i) its invoicing obligations, in particular as regards the content of the invoice and its mandatory details and (ii) the VAT consequences deriving from that. More generally, the Tasker shall be responsible for filing his/her VAT returns and paying VAT relating to the Tasks performed by the Tasker for the benefit of the Client.
Conre shall not be held responsible for any breach of the Tasker’s tax obligations, it being specified that Conre shall not be held jointly and severally liable for VAT, interest on overdue VAT, or for any penalties or fines that would be owed by the Tasker.
Governing Law
This Agreement and your use of the Conre Platform shall be governed by English law, and any dispute regarding this Agreement or the use of the Conre Platform will only be dealt with by the English courts. Nothing shall prevent Conre from bringing proceedings to protect our intellectual property rights before any competent court.
