The Service Provider will function as an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

The Company may add or remove payment methods of the Website, at its sole discretion.
Any payments due and payable by the Company for each provided Service will be made according to the Company’s pricing and fees schedule, which will be available to Service Provider before it decides to take or reject a project. The number of projects that the Service Provider decides to take, or reject may, in addition to other parameters, influence its internal Company score.
When Service Provider submits Translated and/or Localized Work on the Company’s online portal, it will receive credits for the Service provided, which will be added to its Account, according to a schedule determined by the Company. Once it reaches the required minimum threshold to withdraw payment, it may ask the Company to convert its earned Company credits into cash at least 48 hours prior to the requested payment date.

In the event that Service Provider wishes to receive payment earlier than the aforementioned timeframe, it may submit an “Early Withdrawal Request” for an earlier payment date: the 10th, 20th, or the last day of each month. Early Withdrawal Requests may incur early withdrawal fees and/or manual handling fees as determined by the Company from time to time.
The Service Provider agrees that it can ask the Company to convert its earned credits into cash within up to 24 months of the date on which the last Translated and/or Localized Work was submitted by it into the Company’s online portal. After the aforementioned timeframe, payments for provided Services earned but not asked to be converted to cash and paid to the Service Provider through the Company’s system, shall no longer be due or payable by the Company.
The Company reserves the right to reduce the Company credits from the Service Provider’s account, for any reason, without prior notice to you, including, without limitation, if it believes, in its sole discretion, that the Service Provider provided low quality of the Services and/or has violated this Agreement. - Warranty Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Indemnity
