Terms of Service

Welcome to the Our Site. For purposes of this agreement, Users are classified as Service Buyers or Service Providers, or Hirers or Freelancers, respectively or jointly as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party". By using this web site and any of its services, you are bound by and comply with these terms of service. Freelanceanimators.com administrators reserve the right to modify or change these Terms of service at any time without prior notice. If you find these Terms of service to be unacceptable, you must immediately stop access and leave this Website.

Eligibility Requirements:

This web site is available only to individuals or entities who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By using the website’s services, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

Account Termination and Removal of Contents:

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion to reject, refuse to post, edit or remove/move any posting (including private messages) by you, or to deny, restrict, suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Services if we determine in our sole discretion is unlawful, prohibited, harmful, offensive, disruptive or could subject Freelanceanimators.com to liability or is otherwise found inappropriate for this website  without any prior notification.

Membership Fees and Avoiding Commissions:

You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a project with another member directly (outside of Freelanceanimators.com) after that project has been created/opened and before that project has been closed (i.e. during an ongoing project). This also applies to any project that was closed without a Service Provider being chosen, and then contacting them about the project anyway. Both parties are responsible for notifying Freelanceanimators.com 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 Freelanceanimators.com, will be considered an attempt to avoid the commissions. When a Service Provider 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 Service Provider has failed to notify Freelanceanimators.com staff of a payment received above the amount of his bid (a total payment above US$100), Freelanceanimators.com 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 Freelanceanimators.com.

You acknowledge that we reserve the right to charge for any portion of the Services and to change its fees (if any) from time to time in its discretion. If we terminate your membership because you have violated these Terms, you shall not be entitled to the refund of any unused portion of fees or payments (if any).
