User's own risk. User understands and agrees to the following:
Some of the content provided at HireACoder.net may relate to various

advisory nature. This information is provided solely for informational and
general non-advisory purposes. If desired, Users should use their own

other discipline-specific advice.
HireACoder.net is a dynamic time-sensitive web site. As such, the
information on HireACoder.net will be changed frequently. It is possible
that some information could be considered offensive, harmful, or
inaccurate, and in some cases may be mislabeled or deceptively labeled
accidentally by HireACoder.net or accidentally or purposefully by a
third-party, regardless of whether such third parties are with or without
a legitimate business purpose.
HireACoder.net provides unmonitored access to third-party content.
HireACoder.net is only acting as a venue and/or portal, and has no
liability based on, or related to, the third-party content on this Site,
whether arising under the laws of copyright or other intellectual
property, defamation, libel, privacy, obscenity, or any other legal
discipline. This web site may contain links to third-party web sites.
HireACoder.net does not control nor always review the web sites to which
we link from HireACoder.net. We, therefore, cannot endorse the content,
products, services, practices, policies, or performance of the web sites
we link to from HireACoder.net, and Users should not treat any link as
such an endorsement or acceptance of veracity or value.
HireACoder.net does not have the resources to nor does it undertake any
obligation to, control, research, verify, validate, or approve the content
that is received or viewed on its web site. We expect that the User will
undertake necessary activities and practices and will use caution and
common sense when using HireACoder.net.
REFERRAL COMMISSIONS
The referral commission paid out will be the one listed on the Referrals
page. If the commission rate is changed, it will only affect referrals
made after the new commission was announced. You may not refer yourself,
nor sign up for multiple accounts to collect referral fees. You may also
not partner with any other HireACoder.net user to share/transfer the
commission made from your own account, or else both parties will be kicked
from the service without payment. HireACoder.net reserves the right to
delay or cancel sending affiliate earnings if we believe the referred user
will not pay the fees they were charged, since affiliate commissions are
based on those fees.
PAYMENTS
HireACoder.net will send payments only through the E-GOLD (
www.e-gold.net ) service , if the member
requests it AND if their account balance is equal to or greater than $100.
The coder must have at least 5 reviews for them. All amounts are stated in and all payments will be made in US funds.
HireACoder.net reserves the right to suspend a withdrawal if the source of
the funds is suspected to be fraudulent. Any funds received from an
account having made a fraudulent deposit (e.g. stolen credit card) will be
reversed immediately. If in a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal
has already been processed, you will be expected to return the funds to
your HireACoder.net account or face account termination.
As previously stated, any member site that HireACoder.net removes from the
service due to violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no
credit or payment .
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
Members agree not to post their e-mail address on the site, except in the
"e-mail" field of the signup form, or when asked by HireACoder.net at any
other time. There should be no need to give anyone your e-mail address. It
is automatically provided if you choose a Software Coder (or you are the
Software Coder chosen for) a project, and before that time you can use the
message board to communicate. This does not only apply to e-mail
addresses, but to all methods of communication, including phone, ICQ, AIM,
MSN Messenger, etc... See "Avoiding Commissions" below for the reason.
PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION
You are prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless
it's for a project you (a Software Coder) have been picked for, or you (a
Software Buyer) have picked a Software Coder for. This includes giving out
your e-mail address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of
contact outside of this site. HireACoder.net provides you with message
boards, which should be sufficient for pre-project planning.
AVOIDING COMMISSIONS
You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a
project with another member directly (outside of HireACoder.net) after
that project has been created/opened and before that project has been
closed (basically, during an ongoing project). But this also applies to
any project that was closed without a Software Coder being chosen, and
then contacting them about the project anyway. Both parties are
responsible for notifying HireACoder.net if the payment amount increases
(above the bid amount) after the project is closed. Receiving a larger
amount than the original project bid, without notifying us, will be
considered an attempt to avoid the commissions. When a Software Coder
requests a withdrawal, we always review all payments received for each
project to verify that they match the bid. If at the time of a withdrawal
request the Software Coder has failed to notify HireACoder.net staff of a
payment received above the amount of his bid (a total payment above
US$100), HireACoder.net reserves the right to deduct double the fee for
the amount that should have been reported. We believe our commissions are
very fair and justified for the service we provide, therefore we will
absolutely not tolerate any of this activity on HireACoder.net.
COPYRIGHTS
No copyrighted material can be posted on HireACoder.net. This includes
programming-related content, scripts or code which is sold or owned by the
author, or graphic design content which is sold or owned by the author.
Only posting sections, excerpts or examples of such content, will be
permitted. A "section" or "excerpt" being no more than 10% of the original
content, and "example" being a draft or pseudo-coded program. This is
necessary to protect the author's intellectual property rights.
MODIFICATIONS
HireACoder reserves the right to change the Terms of Service at any time.
It is the member's responsibility to check these Terms and Conditions from
time to time for such changes. In the event HireACoder offers any
additional or replacement services then this agreement shall apply to such
services in the absence of any new agreement specific to such services
which is entered into between the parties.
