Although user accounts will be personal, Users may trade under incorporated or unincorporated legal entities. Users cannot register for more than one account.
You will be prompted to choose a username and password for your Account. As a User, it is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your account details and password.

- a) You breach these terms of service or other referenced policies;
- b) We are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us;

Membership Fees and connects
Freelancers shall pay Salesforceworks a membership charge of $ 2.99 per month. The membership charges will be deducted from the Payment method provided by the Freelancer on the due date. The membership billing period begins on the date that we receive payment.
In addition, the Freelancer shall purchase “Connects” to enable bidding for Client Projects.
DELIVERY OF SERVICES
Project Postings, interviews and hiring
The process of hiring Freelancers on the Site shall begin with posting of the Buyer’s project. The Buyer will need to provide their requirements so that interested and qualified Freelancers can be able to place their bids.
We encourage buyers to be specific in their project description and to set out the deliverables expected as well as the Buyer’s deadlines or timescales. Additionally, the Buyer should indicate a realistic budget for the work to attract good quality Freelancers.
In response to Buyer project postings, Freelancers may submit bids for the projects they consider fit for their skills and availability. Upon interviews between a Buyer and a Freelancer, the Buyer may hire the Freelancer by sending an offer to the Freelancer, which the Freelancer may accept.
Before accepting a Buyer’s offer, a Freelancer must be sure of what the terms of the project are: the scope of the services to be offered; the amount to be paid as compensation for the services; deadlines, among other details.
Please note that the Site does not provide Escrow Account services and therefore, parties shall take the necessary precautions to safeguard their interests over funds.
Fees and Payment
A Freelancer shall be charge fees for projects either based on an agreed fixed price as an hourly-rate project. The amount of fees and mode of payment for the fees shall be based solely on the agreement between the Freelancer and the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, no charges or commission shall be payable to Salesforceworks in respect of Projects. Additions, Users shall be at liberty to transact within or outside the Site.
Quality
Freelancers must strive to deliver a high standard of work, appropriately meeting their Buyer’s needs and deadlines. In this regard, Freelancers have a duty to ensure that their work is free from errors and meets the project description provided by the Buyer.
