By accessing the Website, you agree to the following terms with HireCoder. We may amend this User Agreement and any linked information from time to time by posting amended terms on the Website, without notice to you. The Website is an online venue where Users buy and sell coder Services and items. Clients and coders must register for an Account in order to buy or sell coder Services and/or items. The Website enables Users to work together online to complete and pay for Projects, buy and sell items and to use the services that we provide. We are not a party to any contractual agreements between client and coder in the online venue, we merely facilitate connections between the parties. We may, from time to time, and without notice, change or add to the Website or the information, products or services described in it. However, we do not undertake to keep the Website updated. We are not liable to you or anyone else if any error occurs in the information on the Website or if that information is not current.

Users acknowledge and agree that where a business name or company name is associated with their Account, this User Agreement is a contract with the User as an individual (not the business or company) and Users remain solely responsible for all activity undertaken in respect of their Account. A company, corporation, trust, partnership or other non-individual corporate entity may be a User subject to an eligible corporate account which pays corporate subscriptions.

If you believe that your Intellectual Property Rights have been violated, please notify us via this link on our Website and we will investigate.
We charge fees for certain services, such as platform fees for projects, listing upgrades (if any), and memberships (if subscribed to any). When you use a service that has a fee, you have the opportunity to review and accept the fees that will be charged, based on our schedule of Fees and Charges. We may change this schedule from time to time and will update it by placing it on our website. We reserve the right to temporarily change the fees for our services during promotional events (e.g., discounts on memberships) or for new services. Such changes are effective when we post a temporary promotional event or new service on the websites or notify you through promotional correspondence.

Upon the client awarding a Project to the coder, and the coder's acceptance on the Website, or the purchase of an item by a client from the coder, the client and coder will be deemed to have entered into a User Contract under which the client agrees to purchase, and the coder agrees to deliver the coder Services. You agree not to enter into any contractual provisions in conflict with the User Agreement. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with your obligations to other Users. If you do not, you may become liable to that User. You must ensure that you are aware of any domestic laws (including common law), international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations relevant to you as a client or coder, or in any other uses you make of the Website. If another User breaches any obligation to you, you are solely responsible for enforcing any rights that you may have. For the avoidance of doubt, we have no responsibility for enforcing any rights under a User Contract. Depending on their jurisdiction, coders and clients may have rights under statutory warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this User Agreement is intended to override a right that by applicable law may not be excluded. Nothing in this User Agreement is intended to violate any laws relating to unfair contracts, and this agreement has been specifically redrafted to ensure compliance with unfair contracts legislation. To the extent that any component of this User Agreement is in conflict with inalienable rights under local laws, all parties intend for this agreement to be read down only insofar as to be in compliance with such local laws and no further. Each User acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between clients and coders is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this User Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between Users. Nothing in this User Agreement shall in any way be construed as forming a joint venture, partnership or an employer-employee relationship between HireCoder and any User.
You may have positive funds in your Account if you have prepaid for fees or charges or for services to be provided to you via the Website. If you are a coder, you may have positive funds if you have successfully completed a Project, or sold an item, and funds have been released to you. There are also circumstances where funds may have been credited to your Account in relation to an affiliate program or a referral program. Funds in your Account are held by us in our operating accounts held with financial institutions. Funds in your Account are not held separately by us, and may be commingled with our general operating funds, and/or funds of other User's Accounts. You are not entitled to any interest, or other earnings for funds that are in your Account. We may receive interest on funds held by us in our operating accounts from financial institutions with whom we hold our operating accounts. Any such interest earned belongs to us and we will not be liable to any User for any imputed interest on such funds. If your Account has negative funds, we may: set-off the negative amount with funds that you subsequently receive into your Account; if you have funds in multiple currencies in your Account and one of the currencies becomes negative for any reason, we may set-off the negative amount against funds you maintain in a different currency (at an exchange rate applied by us); reverse payments you have made from your Account to other User Accounts on the Website; deduct amounts you owe us from money you subsequently add or receive into your Account; or immediately suspend or limit your Account until such time as your Account no longer has a negative amount. In the event that we offset a negative amount of funds pursuant to this section, it may be bundled with another debit coming out of your Account. We reserve the right to collect any funds owed to us by any other legal means. You acknowledge and agree that: we are not a bank or other licensed financial institution and do not provide banking services or any financial services to you; the funds shown in your Account (which may include Milestone Payments and/or any prepayment of fees and charges which you owe to us) represents our unsecured obligations to you with respect to your rights to direct us to make payment in relation to the purchase and sale of coder Services through the Website and provision of the HireCoder Services; if you were a User acquired in an acquisition and your account was migrated to the Website, we are responsible for your positive funds only to the extent of the legal documentation between us and any acquired marketplace, along with this agreement, and you acknowledge specifically that the onus is on you to confirm the validity of your fund, and that any understatement or misstatement in relation to this is not a claim against us, and belongs with the counterparty of any prior user agreement to which you agreed; to the extent that we are required to release funds from your Account to you, you will become our unsecured creditor until such funds are paid to you; we are not acting as a trustee or fiduciary with respect to such funds or payments; the amount of funds showing in your Account is not insured and is not a guaranteed deposit; funds may only loaded into your Account, or released from your Account, by us and you must only use the mechanisms available on the Website to pay for, or receive funds in respect of coder Services; any refunds required to be processed in your favour will be returned only to the source of the original deposit, and cannot be redirected to any other payment source; we will hold funds in respect of the amount of your Account (including Milestone Payments) in an account held by us with a financial institution (or in any manner that we decide in our sole discretion from time to time) and such funds are not segregated into a separate account; and we may commingle your funds with funds of other Users and our own funds and such commingled funds could be used to pay other Users or for our general corporate purposes or otherwise, however, we will remain obliged to release or refund funds at your direction in accordance with this User Agreement.
We reserve the right to suspend a User withdrawal request if the source of the funds is suspected to be fraudulent. If we become aware that any funds received into an Account from another Account as a result of a fraudulent transaction, this will be reversed immediately. If those funds have already been released to you, you must pay the funds into your Account. If you do not do so, we may suspend, limit or cancel your account, or take action against you to recover those funds. We may, in our sole discretion, place a limit on any or all of the funds in your Account (thereby preventing any use of the funds) if: we believe there may be an unacceptable level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions, including if we believe that there is a risk that such funds will be subject to reversal or chargeback; we believe that the beneficiary of the payment is someone other than you; we believe that the payment is being made to a country where we do not offer our Service; or we are required to do so by law or applicable law enforcement agencies. If you are involved in a dispute, we may (in certain circumstances) place a temporary limit on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of any potential liability. If the dispute is resolved in your favour, we will lift the limit on your funds and those funds may be released to you. If the dispute is not resolved in your favour, we may remove the funds from your Account. We may also place a limit on your account in circumstances where we suspect you of fraudulent or other unacceptable behaviour, while we investigate any such matter.
You may ask for a refund at any time for any funds that you have paid into your Account except if the amount to refund relates to a Milestone Payment or relates to fees or charges payable to us. If the amount the User has asked to refund relates to: (1) a Milestone Payment, the Dispute Resolution Process may be followed; or (2) our fees and charges, the process set out in the Clause "Disputes with Us" must be followed. If we agree to the refund, the funds will be received by the User via the same payment method(s) that the User used to make the original payment to us. We may refund funds to Users irrespective of whether a User has requested funds be refunded if: (1) we are required by law or consider that we are required by law to do so; (2) we determine that refunding funds to the User will avoid any dispute or an increase in our costs; (3) we refund funds to the User in accordance with any refund policy specified by us from time to time; (4) we find out that the original payment made by the User is fraudulent; (5) the User made a duplicate payment in error; or (6) we consider, in our sole opinion, that it is likely that the refund of funds is necessary to avoid a credit card chargeback. You can request a refund by using our customer support website or emailing us at support@HireCoder.ai. Once you have made a milestone payment, you expressly agree to use the dispute resolution process in this agreement, expressly agree to be bound by its ruling and expressly agree not to initiate any chargeback request with your card issuer. If you initiate any chargeback request or other “Request for Information” or similar process, you expressly agree and consent to us to share any and all information in relation to your agreement of these terms and conditions, in order to defeat any such chargeback request. If you have already initiated a chargeback request with your credit card issuer, you must not request a refund of funds by contacting us and must not seek double recovery. If we reasonably determine, having considered all the relevant circumstances, that you have made an excessive or unreasonable number of requests to refund funds back to you or chargebacks, we may suspend, limit or close your Account.
Your first withdrawal of funds earned may be delayed for up to fifteen days for security and fraud purposes. Subsequent withdrawals may be delayed for up to fifteen days where our fraud prevention policies require a delay. We may impose a minimum withdrawal amount for funds earned. This is set out in our schedule of Fees and Charges. The maximum you can withdraw per month is $10,000 unless otherwise specifically agreed with support. We may require you to be HireCoder Verified before you can withdraw funds from your HireCoder account, irrespective of whether or not a delay has been enforced. For details of how to become HireCoder Verified please read the Know your Customer and Identity Verification Policy. You acknowledge and agree that we may seek to verify your identity or request additional information from you as part of our anti-fraud and Know Your Customer policy, as outlined in the section on "Identity / Know Your Customer" sections of this agreement.
A chargeback (being a challenge to a payment that a User files with their card issuer or financial institution), and any subsequent reversal instruction, is made by the payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) and not by us. We are bound to follow such instructions. You acknowledge and agree that we will be entitled to recover any chargebacks and reversals that may be imposed on us by a payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) on funds paid to you by clients through the Website, as well as any processing or any other fees whatsoever incurred by us on those chargebacks and reversals. You agree that we may reverse any such payments made to you, which are subject to chargeback or reversal instruction via your payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors). If you initiate any chargeback request or other “Request for Information” or similar process, you expressly agree and consent to us to share any and all information in relation to your agreement of these terms and conditions, in order to defeat any such chargeback request.
User Accounts that have not been logged into for a period of time may incur a maintenance fee per month, until either the account is closed or reactivated, for storage, bandwidth, support and management costs of providing hosting of the User's profile, portfolio storage, listing in directories, promotion of your profile on the Website and elsewhere, file storage, message transmission, general administrative matters and message and other storage costs. The length of the period and the amount of the maintenance fee is at our discretion. We reserve the right to close an Inactive Account. We reserve the right to close an account with nil or negative funds.
We may close, suspend or limit your access to your Account without reason. Without limiting the foregoing, we may close, suspend or limit your access to your Account: if we determine that you have breached, or are acting in breach of, this User Agreement; if you under-bid on any Project in an attempt to renegotiate the actual price privately, to attempt to avoid fees; if we determine that you have infringed legal rights (resulting in actual or potential claims), including infringing Intellectual Property Rights; if we determine that you have engaged, or are engaging, in fraudulent, or illegal activities; you do not respond to account verification requests; you do not complete account verification when requested within 3 months of the date of request; you are the subject of a United Nations, USA, EU, USA or other applicable sanctions regime, or our banking and payment relationships otherwise preclude us from conducting business with you; to manage any risk of loss to us, a User, or any other person; or for other reasons. If we close your Account due to your breach of this User Agreement, you may also become liable for certain fees as described in this User Agreement. Without limiting our other remedies, to the extent you have breached this User Agreement, you must pay us all fees owed to us and reimburse us for all losses and costs (including any and all of our employee time) and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) related to investigating such breach and collecting such fees. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) the damages that we will sustain as a result of your breach of this User Agreement will be substantial and will potentially include (without limitation) fines and other related expenses imposed on us by our payment processors and Users and that those damages may be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain; (2) if you breach this User Agreement, we may take legal action against you to recover losses. If we close your Account for a reason other than as a result of your breach of this User Agreement, unless as otherwise specified in this User Agreement, you will be entitled to receive any payment due from us to you. In the event that we close your Account, you will have no claim whatsoever against us in respect of any such suspension or termination of your Account.
We do not operate Hirecoder service in relation to the Website. HireCoder separately owns and operates a business known as Hirecoder - for the avoidance of doubt this business is separate and there is no connection between terms, conditions, products and services offered on HireCoder and services offered on Hirecoder. We do however, provide a service on this Website which allows controlled payments to be made with respect to a service, called Milestone Payments. Subject to the User Contract, the client can make a Milestone Payment, which will be locked from the client's Account and cannot be claimed by the coder until: the client and coder agree that the funds can be claimed by the coder; if there is a dispute, the client and coder have concluded the Dispute Resolution Process and the Dispute is resolved in the coder's favour; the client instructs us to pay a coder for services performed by the coder in respect of a Project; or the client acknowledges that the coder has completed the services fully and satisfactory. If a client does not approve of the coder's work product, the parties may elect to resolve the issue under the Dispute Resolution Process. If we have not received any instructions or dispute from a client or coder in respect of a Milestone Payment within six months or any other reasonable length of time after the day that the Milestone Payment was paid and the client has not logged into their Account during that time, the Milestone Payment will be unlocked and released back to the client.
HireCoder offers Milestone Dispute Resolution Services to Users who have elected to use the Milestone Payment feature. You agree and acknowledge that: (i) HireCoder is not providing legal services; (ii) HireCoder will not advise you regarding any legal matters; and (iii) if you desire to have legal counsel, you will seek an independent legal counsel from those licensed to practice law in your jurisdiction. You will not rely on HireCoder for any such counsel. In the event of a dispute between a client and a coder regarding a return or release of Milestone Payments, either client or coder may elect to use the Milestone Dispute Resolution Services offered by HireCoder as set out in the Milestone Disputes Policy. The client and coder will then be notified that the matter will be addressed through Milestone Dispute Resolution Services. You agree to indemnify and (to the maximum extent permitted by law) hold HireCoder and any of our affiliates harmless against any damages or liability you may suffer as a result of using the Milestone Payments and Milestone Dispute Resolution Services. HireCoder will respond to disputes initiated by a coder or a client in accordance with the Milestone Dispute Resolution Services as set out in this clause and the Milestone Disputes Policy and in relation to disputes that arise in relation to the provision of the venue, and the hosting of the Website by HireCoder as set out in the clause entitled Disputes with Us, along with the approach to disclosing information in relation to chargebacks set out in clauses 19 and 21 of this agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a dispute arises between you and another User in relation to any Project that you will first attempt to resolve any differences that you have in relation to such Project, including in relation to the quality of the services provided. If you continue to have any difficulties or problems in relation to a dispute with another User in relation to a Project we encourage you to contact us as set out in the Clause entitled "Contacting us". You agree that any dispute that is not related to a Milestone Payment (which must be dealt with in accordance with the Milestone Disputes Policy) arising between you and another User will be handled in accordance with this clause. HireCoder will have full rights and powers to make a determination for all such disputes. Upon receipt of a dispute, HireCoder shall have the right to request the coder and the client to provide documentation in support of their claim or position in relation to the dispute. You agree that HireCoder has absolute discretion to accept or reject any document provided. You also acknowledge that HireCoder is not a judicial or alternative dispute resolution institution and that we will make the determinations only as an ordinary reasonable person. In addition, we do not warrant that the documents provided by the parties to the dispute will be true, complete or correct and you agree to indemnify and (to the maximum extent permitted by law) hold HireCoder and any of our affiliates harmless against any damages or liability you may suffer as a result of any documentation or material subsequently being found to be false or misleading. In relation to disputes with any other users of the Website, you hereby agree to indemnify HireCoder from any and all claims, demands, and damages, actual and consequential, of every kind and nature, known and unknown, that is related to such a dispute, our determinations or the use of the Milestone Dispute Resolution Services for Milestone Payments and/or for Other Disputes. The HireCoder Code of Conduct applies to all the services offered by HireCoder , including, but not limited to, the Milestone Dispute Resolution Services. It is agreed by you that you will make every endeavour at fair play and post reasonable and fair demands/offers on your dispute. No conduct relating to threats, blackmail, intimidation or inducement of users to leave positive feedback will be tolerated, in particular any refusal to provide either deliverables or payment in relation to the provision of feedback. A User found to be in breach of the Code of Conduct during the Milestone Dispute Resolution Service process may automatically lose the dispute in favor of the other party involved, regardless of the origin of the dispute. The User who breached the Code of Conduct may also incur further disciplinary action. For more information, read the Code of Conduct.
If a dispute arises between you and HireCoder , our goal is to address your concerns immediately and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a means of resolving the dispute quickly. We strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by using our customer support website or emailing us at support@hirecoder.ai. For any claim, HireCoder may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If HireCoder elects arbitration, such arbitration will be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider, which is to be selected by you from a panel of ADR providers that HireCoder will provide to you. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. All claims you bring against HireCoder must be resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Agreement shall be considered improperly filed and a breach of this Agreement. Should you file a claim contrary to the terms of this Agreement, HireCoder may recover its legal fees and costs (including in-house lawyers and paralegals), provided that HireCoder has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim. You agree that you will not pursue any claims arising under this User Agreement on a class or other representative basis and will not seek to coordinate or consolidate any arbitration or action hereunder with any other proceeding. If any proceeding by or against you is commenced under any provision of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, HireCoder will be entitled to recover all reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. HireCoder’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
Unless mentioned all the amounts will be considered in US Dollars. Some of the Websites will display rates in the local currency of that Website, in addition to the actual amount. These rates are based on a conversion from the originating currency using indicative market exchange rates. You understand and agree that these rates are only indicative and the amount specified in the origin currency is the actual amount. As a convenience service, you may withdraw funds from the Website in another currency. If you wish to do so, you will be quoted an exchange rate which will be available for the time specified, which you may choose to accept. We may charge a fee for effecting the currency conversion transactions. This fee will be embedded within the rate provided to you and the currency exchange will be settled immediately. We reserve the right to reject any request for a conversion of currency at any time. You are responsible for all risks associated with converting and maintaining funds in various available currencies, including but not limited to the risk that the value of these funds will fluctuate as exchange rates change, which could result in decreases in the value of your funds in aggregate. You must not use (or attempt to use) the Website to engage in speculative trading, which could result in substantial losses. We are not a financial services provider. All information included on the Website in respect of currency conversion is general information only. Use of currency conversion is at your own risk. Currency conversions are final and irreversible.
This agreement supersedes any other agreement between you and the Company. If any part of this document is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this document will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of this document is not a waiver of any of our rights to later enforce that or any other part of this documents. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under this document from time to time. If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, you agree that the Company is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release the Company, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

We use your information as described in the HireCoder Privacy Policy. If you object to your information being transferred or used in this way then you must not use our services. For the avoidance of doubt, your name and personal details shall be used for identity purposes in the normal course of conducting business in this online marketplace.

We cannot and do not confirm each User's purported identity on the Website. We may provide information about a User, such as a strength or risk score, geographical location, or third party background check or verification of identity or credentials. However, such information is based solely on data that a User submits and we provide such information solely for the convenience of Users and the provision of such information is not an introduction, endorsement or recommendation by us.
The Website is a dynamic time-sensitive Website. As such, information on the Website will change frequently. It is possible that some information could be considered offensive, harmful, inaccurate or misleading or mislabelled or deceptively labelled accidentally by us or accidentally or purposefully by a third party. Our Services, the Website and all content on it are provided on an 'as is', 'with all faults' and 'as available' basis and without warranties of any kind either express or implied. Without limiting the foregoing, we make no representation or warranty about: the Website or any coder Services or HireCoder Services; the accuracy, reliability, availability, veracity, timeliness or content of the Website or any coder Services or HireCoder Services; whether the Website or coder Services or HireCoder Services will be up-to-date, uninterrupted, secure, error-free or non-misleading; whether defects in the Website will be corrected; whether the Website, the coder Services or the HireCoder Services or any data, content or material will be backed up or whether business continuity arrangements are in place in respect of the Website, coder Services or HireCoder Services; any third party agreements or any guarantee of business gained by you through the Website, coder Services or HireCoder Services or us; or the Website, coder Services or HireCoder Services or infrastructure on which they are based, being error or malicious code free, secure, confidential or performing at any particular standard or having any particular function. To every extent permitted by law, we specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, suitability and non-infringement.
In no event shall we, our related entities, our affiliates or staff be liable, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other form of liability, for: any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages that may be incurred by you; any loss of income, business or profits (whether direct or indirect) that may be incurred by you; any claim, damage, or loss which may be incurred by you as a result of any of your transactions involving the Website. The limitations on our liability to you above shall apply whether or not we, our related entities, our affiliates or staff have been advised of the possibility of such losses or damages arising. Notwithstanding the above provisions, nothing in this User Agreement is intended to limit or exclude any liability on the part of us and our affiliates and related entities where and to the extent that applicable law prohibits such exclusion or limitation including those within the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and relevant state fair trading legislation. To the extent that we are able to limit the remedies available under this User Agreement, we expressly limit our liability for breach of a non-excludable condition or warranty implied by virtue of any legislation to the following remedies (the choice of which is to be at our sole discretion) to the supply of the HireCoder services again or the payment of the cost of having the HireCoder services supplied again.
As some jurisdictions do not allow some of the exclusions or limitations as established above, some of these exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. In that event, the liability will be limited as far as legally possible under the applicable legislation. We may plead this User Agreement in bar to any claim, action, proceeding or suit brought by you, against us for any matter arising out of any transaction or otherwise in respect of this User Agreement. You and we agree that you and we will only be permitted to bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's or party's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. In addition, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other Users.
Legal notices will be served on to the email address you provide to HireCoder during the registration process. Notice will be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid or that the email has not been delivered. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to the address provided by you during the registration process. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing. Any notices to HireCoder must be given by registered ordinary post (or if posted to or from a place outside USA, by registered airmail).
This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of New South Wales, USA. We encourage you to try and resolve disputes using certified mediation (such as online dispute resolution processes). If a dispute cannot be resolved then you and HireCoder irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, USA.

This Agreement may be assigned by us to an associated entity at any time, or to a third party without your consent in the event of a sale or other transfer of some or all of our assets. In the event of any sale or transfer you will remain bound by this User Agreement.
Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.

- 1. About Licenses And Third Party Content
- 2. What You’re Allowed To Do On Hirecoder
- 3. What You’re Not Allowed To Do On Hirecoder
- 4. Enforcing Our Terms Of Use
- 5. Definitions
1.1 We let you use our site and services
Technically, we’re giving you a ‘limited license’ to the site. Here’s what that means.
We’re happy for you to access our website and services (known as the services). You’re free to have this access (or limited license) as long as you follow these terms of use and all of our other Terms of Service as they apply to you.
We’ll do our best to make sure our services are safe and working as they should, but we can’t guarantee you’ll have access continuously. In fact, we might even stop providing certain features or the services completely, and don’t have to give notice if we do.
1.2 We can stop letting you use our services
We can take away your right to use our services at any time.
If you violate our Terms of Use or other parts of our Terms of Service, we can take away your access to Hirecoder. Officially, this is called terminating your license, and if it happens, we’ll tell you and you must stop using our services immediately.
1.3 We keep the rights to our intellectual property
Using our services doesn’t mean you can use any of our trademarks or other intellectual property, like copyrights and patents. We keep all of our rights to our intellectual property, even though we let you use our services.
Our logos and names are our trademarks and registered in certain jurisdictions. Any other product or company names, logos or similar marks and symbols you see on Hirecoder may be trademarked by our partners or other users like you.
1.4 You can use Hirecoder to share your content with the world
1.4.1 You’re responsible for what you post
You’re responsible for how you use our site and anything you post on it. If someone makes a claim against us because of anything you put on the site, you agree to compensate us for our legal fees and expenses (the lawyers call this, ‘indemnification’).
When you post content on (or through) our site or give us content for posting, you agree that you’re completely responsible for that content and we’re not. You also agree to only post or give us content that:
- you have the right to post
- is legal
- doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, including intellectual property rights.
You acknowledge and agree that whoever posts content is responsible for any harm caused to anyone by that content – not Hirecoder – and that you’ll compensate and defend us, our partners, employees and representatives against any costs or legal or government action we have because of your content.
1.4.2 Other people have some rights to what you post
By posting content on the site, you give other people some rights to that content.
Whenever you post content on our site, you give us and our affiliates a permanent right (called an ‘irrevocable and non-exclusive worldwide license’) to use, edit and share that content – across the world and without paying royalties. If your name, voice and image appear in content you post, we also might use those on the site or in our day-to-day business. For example, if you’re a coder, we might share your profile with clients we think could be a good match.
You also give each user and site visitor the right to access and use your content through the site. They also have the right to use, copy and share your content – as long as they do it through the site, and follow both our Terms of Service and the law.
We might show ads near your content and information, without compensating you. Depending on choices you make in your profile, we might also include your name or photo when promoting one of our features.
1.4.3 We’re open to your ideas
We’d love to hear your thoughts on improving Hirecoder. Here’s what happens when you share them.
You can send us comments and suggestions about our services and ways to improve them. If you do, you’re agreeing your ideas are free and unsolicited, and you don’t expect or ask anything in return, unless we’ve specifically asked you for your ideas and offered something in return (we like to keep our word).
You agree we’re free to use, change and share the idea as we like, without being obligated to to give you anything for it. And if you do send us an idea, you also agree that this doesn’t affect our right to use similar or related ideas – including those we already have or get from others.
1.5 Third parties post on Hirecoder, too
Anyone else who uses our site is responsible for what they post or link on Hirecoder.
We’re not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any content shared by other people on our site, unless they’re officially working for us when they share or post the content. Any content represents the views of the person sharing it, not Hirecoder.
Our site might also contain links or other access to third-party websites and applications. These sites and applications are owned and run by other parties, not Hirecoder. If we use a link or application that goes to a third-party website, it doesn’t mean that we endorse it and you agree that you use it without our endorsement.
1.6 You can make a copyright complaint
f you think content on our site infringes your rights, you can ask to have it removed.
We’re committed to following U.S. copyright and related laws and need site visitors and users to follow them as well. That means you can’t use our site to store or share anything that infringes anyone’s intellectual property rights, including their rights under U.S. copyright law.
If you own copyrighted work and think your rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed by anything on our site, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act means you can ask us to take it down.
You can only use our services for work and to learn from the information we share.
Our site and services were made to be used for business, not for personal or consumer use. We run our marketplace to help users find each other, build working relationships, and make and receive payments for that work.
You can also use some of our services to get information we think might be interesting and useful for our site visitors and users – like our Hirecoder blog. While we do our best to make sure that this information is timely and accurate, there might sometimes be mistakes. We don’t make any guarantees about information posted on our site, so never use it as tax or legal advice. And you should always double-check the information for yourself.
Certain uses of the site are not allowed. Here we go into much more depth about those things, including:
- posting unacceptable content (3.1)
- acting in a misleading or fraudulent way (3.2)
- treating others unfairly (3.3)
- abusing our feedback system (3.4)
- other uses that aren’t allowed (3.5)
In short, you’re not allowed to use our services to do (or encourage others to do) anything that is illegal, fraudulent or harmful. If you don’t see something on one of the lists below, you shouldn’t assume it’s allowed. When in doubt, contact us to check.
3.1 Posting unacceptable content
- is illegal or defamatory
- is violent, discriminatory or harassing, either generally or towards a specific person or group (or encourages others to be), including anyone who is part of a legally protected group
- is sexually explicit or related to sex work or escort services
- is in any way related to child exploitation
- would infringe on any intellectual property rights, including copyrights
- would violate our Terms of Service, another website’s terms of service, or any similar contract
- would go against professional or academic standards or policies – including improperly submitting someone else’s work as your own, or by ghost-writing essays, tests, or certifications
- involves purchasing or requesting a fake review or is connected in any way to making or sharing misleading content (like ‘deep fakes’ or ‘fake news’) which is intended to deceive others.
If you break any of these rules, we can suspend your account and stop you from using Hirecoder (4.1). If you see someone else breaking these rules, please let us know (4.2).
4.1 We enforce these rules
We have the right to look into any potential violations of these terms of use, and might decide to pause, change or take away any content on our site when we do.
We can’t guarantee that we’ll take action against every potential violation, but just because we don’t take action against one breach doesn’t waive our right to take action against any future breaches, whether they’re related to the first breach or not.
If we do suspect rule-breaking, we can stop you using our site at any time. If we disable or close your account, you won’t be able to use any of our services, but these things will stay in place:
- our rights to use and share your feedback
- our users’ and visitors' rights to share your content (1.4.2)
- your agreement to all the rules laid out in section 3 on this page.
4.2 Tell us if you see someone breaking these rules
What to do if you become aware of a violation of our Terms of Use.
If you believe anyone is breaking any of our terms of use, please let our customer service team know or report it wherever you see this flag:
If we follow up on the breach, you agree to help with our investigation and take reasonable steps to help us fix the problem.
Here, we explain some of the terms we’ve used in our Terms of Use. Any other terms in italics should be defined when they’re mentioned, in the User Agreement or Terms of Service.
An affiliate is anyone or anything that in any way manages, is managed by, or shares management with us.
A client is someone using our site to find coder services from another user.
A deep fake is a video or image that has been changed to replace one person with another in a deliberately misleading way, without asking the person whose face has been used.
A Coder is an individual using our site to offer their services to clients.
Coder services refer to the work coders do on Hirecoder.
A means of direct contact is information that would let someone get in touch with you directly (or find the information to do that) so you can bypass our site. For example, phone numbers, email and physical addresses, social media accounts, and personal websites with contact information are means of direct contact.
Site services are all services, applications and products – apart from Coder services – that people can access through Hirecoder.
Content is what users post to Hirecoder themselves, like comments, profiles, feedback, images, or other information. It includes anything posted by you even if elements of the content were originally generated by generative AI or other tools, or in response to questions posed to you by Hirecoder or other users or Hirecoder.
This document explains the rules that keep our marketplace running.
We call these rules our Terms of Use. They apply to Hirecoder.ai and all the websites and apps we own or run. (And by we, we mean Hirecoder and our affiliates, which we may also refer to as us.)
These terms explain how we expect you to behave when you’re using Hirecoder – whether you’re a registered user or unregistered site visitor on our site.
Please read these rules carefully: by using our site, you’re agreeing to follow them.

1.1 Information You Provide to Us
When you use the Service, you may provide us with information about you. This may include your name and contact information, financial information to make or receive payment for services obtained through the Hirecoder platform, or information to help us fill out tax forms. When you use the Service, we may also collect information related to your use of the Service and aggregate this with information about other users. This helps us improve our Services for you. You may also provide us with information about your contacts or friends if, for example, you’d like to add those contacts to a chat room.
Depending upon our relationship with you, we may collect the following categories and types of personal information from and about you:
Hirecoder Users |
For coders who have entered into a contract with a Client or who have elected to participate in Hirecoder Payroll, we may share their information with Clients, Agencies, and Hirecoder payroll vendors. For coders who choose to view a job post or submit a proposal via the Service, we may share their information with the applicable Client(s). For coders who have made their profiles publicly visible, we may share their information with Clients, Agencies, Partners, and Developers. Note that if a coder is suspended from the Hirecoder Service, we may share that information with Clients for whom that coder has worked or submitted proposals for work. We may also share information with Agencies to whom coders are associated for a particular work project. For clients who have entered into a service contract or agreed to use Hirecoder Payroll with another user, we may share your information in order to complete the transaction or to facilitate the resolution of a claim or dispute. The user receiving your information is not allowed to use it for purposes unrelated to the transaction, such as to contact you for marketing purposes, unless you have expressly consented to it. |
---|---|
Service Providers |
We may employ service providers and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and online advertising, payment processing, fraud detection and improvement of Hirecoder's features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These Service providers may include analytics companies, advertising partners, payment processors, identity verification companies, security companies, generative AI partners, or other merchants. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information in order to perform these tasks on our behalf. |
Generative AI Partners |
We provide certain features of our Service by integrating trusted generative AI service providers. We may share the information you provide while using these features with these generative AI service providers, as well as additional information necessary to utilize the feature. Where Hirecoder uses this information to power features, we leverage certain treatments of the data appropriate for the feature, including but not limited to, first removing personal information and only using public data. The Service includes a two-sided marketplace, which results in platform information pertaining to both parties on either side of an interaction. For example, a Client's review is inherently about a coder, a Client job post is work history for a coder, and a Client spend is part of earning history for a coder. Thus, if a Client or coder chooses to use our generative AI features, the platform information associated with that user's account - including information described above - may be used to power those features. |
Legal and Investigative Purposes |
Hirecoder will share information with government agencies as required by law including (without limitation) in response to lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements and in connection with reporting earnings. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), or, at the request of governmental authorities or other third parties conducting an investigation where we determine in our sole discretion the disclosure is necessary to (a) protect the property and rights of Hirecoder or a third party, (b) protect the safety of the public or any person, or (c) prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or pose a risk of being, illegal, fraudulent, unethical or legally actionable activity. |
