These Terms of Use between Requester (as defined below) & Spontaneous Paid Opportunities Today Inc. for use of Spontaneous Paid Opportunities Today Inc. Service (the “Terms” or “Agreement”) constitutes a binding agreement between the individual, entity, organization, or company (“Requester”) on whose behalf you are accepting this Agreement (“you”) and Spontaneous Paid Opportunities Today Inc. (“Spotwork” “us” or “we”) governing your use of the Service (as defined in the Spotwork End User License Agreement available at www.spotwork.co) to be connected to independent professionals seeking to provide services (“Professionals”). You hereby agree: (a) to comply with this Agreement; (b) that you have read, understand, and agree to (i) the Spotwork End User License Agreement (“EULA”), (ii) the Spotwork Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), each of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference, and (c) that you are an authorized representative of the Requester, have the authority to bind the Requester to this Agreement, and agree to be bound by this Agreement on behalf of the Requester. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and the EULA or Privacy Policy, then this Agreement will govern with respect to the conflicting terms only. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meaning specified in the EULA. The parties hereby agree as follows:

We may amend these Terms from time to time. Any amendments will be effective upon Spotwork’s posting of such updated Terms on our websites or through our Services (including our mobile applications). Your continued access or use of the Services after such posting confirms your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended.

1. Spotwork is Solely a Venue for Communications. Spotwork is a communications platform for enabling the connection between you and Professionals. Spotwork does not itself provide professional services. Spotwork offers tools, information, and a method for you to obtain services from Professionals, but does not, nor does it intend to, provide such professional services. Spotwork and you intend for Professionals to provide services to you as independent contractors, and not as employees, workers, agents, joint ventures, partners or franchisees of Spotwork or the Requester for any purpose.

2. Projects.

2.1 The Service allows you to propose projects (“Projects”) for selection by Professionals. When posting a Project, you must include the proposed skills, location, date (as applicable), start time (as applicable), Project length (as applicable), rate of pay, and required certifications (“Project Details”).

2.2 You will have the opportunity to review Professionals who express interest for the Project and retain full discretion regarding the selection of the Professional you would like to complete the Project. Once a Professional accepts a Project through the Service, then the Professional will be solely responsible for completing the Project; provided, however, that if Spotwork is notified within a reasonable amount of time that the Professional selected by Requester is unable to complete the Project, Spotwork will re-distribute the Project to other Professionals as soon as reasonably possible.

2.3 Spotwork has no control or any right to control the manner or means by which Professionals complete Projects. Spotwork does not warrant or guarantee the content, completeness, reliability or veracity of the information posted by the Professional via the Spotwork website or mobile phone application. The Requester assumes all risk and liability with respect thereto and hereby releases and holds Spotwork harmless from all related liability, errors and omissions.

2.4 Spotwork does not warrant or guarantee any Professional’s physical presence on the Project once retained nor does Spotwork warrant or guarantee the successful completion of a Project by the Professional. The Requester hereby releases and holds Spotwork harmless from all related liability.

3. Accounts and Registration. You must register for an account on the Service. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself (such as your name, address, phone number, and email address). You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, you must immediately notify us at hello@spotwork.co.

4. Payments. Requesters and Professionals using Spotwork contract for Projects directly with each other. Spotwork is not a party to any contracts for Projects. The App facilitates these contracts by supplying a medium through which you can connect with Professionals, schedule Projects, and make payments for Projects. You will be required to provide credit card details or send monies via wire transfer, direct deposit or other money instruments directly to the Payment Service Provider retained by Spotwork (the “PSP”). You will be responsible for paying the invoice for each Project (the “Invoice”), which will include the pricing terms of the Project agreed with and provided by the Professional (“Project Payment”). After Spotwork receives confirmation through the Service that you have selected a Professional for a Project, you authorize Spotwork to provide your payment details to the PSP for pre-authorized processing (payment by credit card) or processing of the Project Payment amount. After Spotwork receives confirmation through the Service that a Project has been completed, you authorize Spotwork to provide your payment details to the PSP for processing of the Project Payment amount. You may be charged a cancellation fee through the PSP if you book a Project, but cancel it before it is completed, as set forth in the Project pricing terms. Spotwork reserves the right, in its sole discretion (but not the obligation), to (i) place on hold any Project Payment, or (ii) refund, provide credits or arrange for the PSP to do so.

4.1 System Access Fee & Late Interest Charges

4.1.1 The PSP will process the Project Payment amount plus a system access fee. The system access fee is 30% of Project Payment unless otherwise agreed to in writing or e-mail. Payment of the Project Payment plus a system access fee is due within 10 business days of Project completion, unless agreed to other terms in writing or e-mail.

4.1.2 Requester will pay a per diem interest on any unpaid amount beyond the 10 business days at the interest rate of 12% per annum on all amounts outstanding (Project payments plus the system access fee inclusive), unless agreed to other terms in writing or e-mail.

4.1.3 If Project is cancelled by the Requester within 24 hours of Project start time, the

Requester will pay a cancellation fee equal to 50 percent of the prorated Project Payment amount plus the system access fee.

5. Interactions with Professionals. Any interactions or disputes between you and a Professional are solely between you and that Professional. Spotwork and its licensors will have no liability, obligation or responsibility for any interaction between you and any Professional.

6. License. You grant Spotwork a license to use your name, service marks, and logo (as provided by you to Spotwork) in order to identify a Project as being associated with you, and to advertise and promote Spotwork’s services.

7. Text Messaging. You agree to Spotwork’s use of a service provider to mask your phone number when you exchange text messages and phone calls with Professionals. Spotwork and its service provider will store your messaging and call data (including the time and date of the call or message, each of your phone numbers and the content of any text messages). You consent to this process and Spotwork’s use and disclosure of this data for its business purposes. Further, you agree to Spotwork’s sending SMS text messages directly to you in order to facilitate the performance of Projects. Standard call or message charges or other charges from your phone carrier may apply to calls or text (SMS) messages Spotwork sends to you. You may opt-out of receiving text (SMS) messages from Spotwork by replying with the word “STOP” to a text message from Spotwork, but you acknowledge that opting out of text (SMS) messages may impact your ability to use the Service.

8. Relationship.

8.1 You agree and acknowledge that neither this Agreement, nor your use of Professionals will create an association, partnership, joint venture, or relationship of principal and agent, master and servant, or employer and employee, between you and Spotwork.

8.2 You agree and acknowledge that you will engage the Professionals as independent contractors. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to create an employment relationship, partnership or joint venture between you and the Professionals.

8.3 Should the relationship between you and a Professional be found in law to constitute an employment relationship, you agree to indemnify Spotwork and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents against any amounts which are found to be owing by way of employer contributions, withholdings, or termination or severance pay under any applicable legislation including the Income Tax Act (Canada), HST as required by the Income Tax Act (Canada), the Employment Insurance Act (Canada), the Canada Pension Plan (Canada), the Income Tax Act (Ontario), the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (Ontario), the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (Ontario), Employment Standards Act (British Columbia), Employment Standards Code, 2000 (Alberta), Employment Standards Code (Manitoba), the Act Respecting Labour Standards (Quebec) or any other applicable law. You agree to hold Spotwork harmless for any and all such payments and any fines, interest or penalties arising from non-payment or failure to withhold.

8.4 Neither party shall acquire by virtue of this Agreement any right, capacity or power to act as an agent for the other or to bind the other to any other person, firm or corporation, except with the written agreement of the other if necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

9. Additional Representation and Warranty. You represent and warrant to Spotwork that your posting of Projects and use of Professionals is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

10. Indemnification and Insurance. Requester assumes all liability for proper classification of Professionals as independent contractors based on applicable legal guidelines. You will indemnify and hold the Spotwork Parties harmless from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or resulting from (a) bodily injury, death of any person, theft or damage to real or tangible, personal property resulting from your acts or omissions, (b) your breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, (c) a determination by a court or agency that a Professional performing your Project is not an independent contractor, or (e) any claim by your arising from or related to the performance of a Project by a Professional.

10.1 Except as required by law, unless otherwise expressly agreed herein or elsewhere in writing, Spotwork is not responsible for insurance coverage of Professionals. Specifically, in the event that a Professional is injured or becomes ill while or as a result of working a Project, Requester acknowledges and understands that the Professional may not be covered by any workers’ compensation insurance that Spotwork may otherwise provide to its employees. Requester represents and warrants that, unless otherwise expressly agreed herein or elsewhere in writing, any Professionals performing a Project will be covered by the Requester’s workers’ compensation insurance. Further, in the event that a Professional’s actions cause an injury to a third party while the Professional is working in the course and scope of performing a Project or otherwise, Requester acknowledges and agrees that the Professional may not be covered by any general liability or automobile liability insurance coverage that Spotwork may have, and that Spotwork is not making any commitment to defend, compensate and/or indemnify the Requester in such circumstances, and specifically denies such obligation.

11. Disclaimer. Representations and Warranties. Spotwork is not responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of a Professional or other third party in relation to Projects as completed by you. You understand, therefore, that by using the Service, you will be introduced to third parties for whom Spotwork may not have conducted any background check, that may be potentially dangerous, and that you use the Service at your own risk.
