Terms of Service

(Effective as of January 1, 2018)

Welcome to TheSecondShift.com (the “Site”), provided to you by The Second Shift LLC (“The Second Shift”, “we” or “us”). This website is an online platform through which business entities (hereinafter referred to as “Businesses”) requesting projects to be completed are connected with persons (hereinafter referred to as “Contractors”) to complete such projects (hereinafter referred to as “Business Projects”). The Second Shift provides services to you in your capacity as either a Business or a Contractor. Our services include connecting Businesses and Contractors, facilitating Business Projects and managing any disputes related to those Business Projects (together, the “Service”).

After a Business posts a Business Project on the Site, including the deliverables and requirements, deadline for completion and the proposed payment amount, The Second Shift provides Business a self-selected list of Contractors who have qualifications that match the Business Project, giving them a chance to apply. When a Business selects a Contractor for its Business Project, the parties negotiate directly and agree to the scope of work, deadline for completion and payment amount (the “Project Payment”).

This Agreement includes and hereby incorporates by reference any agreements and policies referred to herein, including our Privacy Policy, located at https://www.thesecondshift.com/privacy. Such agreements and policies may be modified by The Second Shift from time to time in its sole discretion. In the event of a conflict between such policies and agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement controls.

Both Businesses and Contractors shall be deemed “Users” for the purposes of this Terms of Service (this “Agreement”). The following Terms of Service apply when you view or use the Service. Please review the following terms and accompanying Privacy Policy carefully. By submitting information, creating a The Second Shift profile (a “Profile”), accessing or using the Service or otherwise using the Site, you signify your agreement to these Terms of Service. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SITE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE.

NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION

image-separater

You agree not to use the Site or the Services for the purposes of circumventing or attempting to circumvent The Second Shift’s messaging tools or services, including for the purpose of avoiding the obligation to pay any of The Second Shift’s fees related to its provision of the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation The Second Shift receives for making the Service available to you is collected as a deduction from the Contractor’s Project Payment and as a fee added to the Business’ Project Payment. Therefore, for thirty-six (36) months from the first time you identify or are identified by any User or third party through the Site in connection with a Business Project, you must use the Site as your exclusive method to request and perform work and to make and receive all payments for work, directly or indirectly, with that User or third party or arising out of your relationship with that party. This restriction does not in any way limit Contractor’s ability to provide independent contractor services to any other businesses or entities that are not Second Shift Users.

You agree not to circumvent the payment methods offered by the Site, and you will notify The Second Shift immediately if another party improperly contacts you or suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Site. You agree that you will not under any circumstances:

Submit proposals to, solicit, contract, hire, manage or pay any parties identified through the Service other than through the Site;

(ii) Accept proposals from, contact, deliver services to, invoice or receive payments from parties identified through the Service other than through the Site; or

(iii) Invoice or report on the Site an invoice or payment amount lower than the Project Payment actually agreed between Business and Contractor through the Site.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Business breaches its obligations under this Section, and such breach results, directly or indirectly, in a Contractor being hired or retained (as a full-time employee (as defined below) or independent contractor) by Business or any of its related entities (including but not limited to subsidiaries, parents, affiliates or entities otherwise related through common ownership or control), the parties must notify The Second Shift immediately upon Contractor’s hiring or retention, and Business shall pay a fee to The Second Shift, in an amount equal to 15% of Contractor’s annual salary or compensation. The parties acknowledge that the harm caused to The Second Shift by such breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate and that the fee is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from the breach.

5

PAYMENT

image-separater

The Second Shift charges service fees for the services of connecting Businesses and Contractors, facilitating Business Projects and collecting Project Payments. These fees are non-refundable. Prior to posting a Business Project, Business shall provide valid credit card information to The Second Shift. Based upon the agreed upon payment terms, once Contractor completes the Project, or in accordance with the timing agreed upon in the terms of the Business Project, the Business will transfer to The Second Shift, payment equal to the Project Payment plus a 15% service fee. Once The Second Shift receives funds from the Business, The Second Shift disburses to the Contractor payment equal to the Project Payment minus a 5% service fee. For example, for a Business Project with a Project Payment of $1,000, the Business will transfer to The Second Shift $1,150 ($1,000 Project Payment + $150 service fee). Once the Business Project is completed, The Second Shift will transfer to Contractor $950 ($1,000 Project Payment – $50 service fee). If the Business does not transfer the Project Payment plus the service fee to The Second Shift at the agreed upon time based on the payment terms, The Second Shift will charge the credit card provided for the amount due in full. Certain payment terms may result in a service fee greater than 15% (e.g., Board Seat placements).

In certain cases, the Business may opt to pay the Contractor directly. Under these circumstances, the Second Shift will invoice the Business for the 15% service fee, based upon the total value of the Project, based upon the agreed Scope of Work. If the Project is ultimately greater in value than stated in the Scope of Work, The Second Shift is entitled to a 15% service fee based upon the amount of overage.

Funds are disbursed to Contractors according to the following guidelines:

(i) For Business Projects that are completed within one month from the date of commencement of work, The Second Shift will disburse the full and total payment to Contractors in one lump sum as soon as reasonably possible upon receipt of funds from the Business (but in no event more than 14 days after receipt of the funds).

(ii) For Business Projects that are ongoing in nature, The Second Shift will invoice the Business based upon the agreed upon payment timing in the Scope of Work.

If a Business fails to pay amounts due under this Agreement, whether by cancelling a credit card payment, initiating an improper chargeback or by any other means, the Business’ Profile with The Second Shift will be removed and any Contractor’s work-in-progress with the Business will be stopped. Without limiting other available remedies, Business must reimburse The Second Shift for any amounts due upon demand, plus any applicable processing fees, charges or penalties, plus interest at the lesser of one and on-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowed by law, plus attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection as allowed by law. In its discretion, The Second Shift may setoff any unpaid amounts owed by Business against other amounts received from or held for Business, make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with them in any resulting investigation or prosecution. If a Business terminates a Business Project before a Contractor’s work has been completed, Business is not entitled to recover any payments already distributed to Contractor.

In the event that a Business makes an offer of Full-Time Employment (defined as 35 hours or more per week) to a Contractor it is currently working with as part of a Project, and the Contractor accepts, The Second Shift will charge the Business a fee calculated as 20% of Contractor’s annual starting salary. If such an offer of Full-Time Employment is made and accepted, the Business will inform The Second Shift within 15 days of acceptance of the offer by the Contractor.

In addition to the connecting of Contractors and Businesses, The Second Shift charges fees for the sourcing of full-time employees. The fee for full-time placement is 20% of one year’s annual salary and is due upon the first day of employment for the full-time employee sourced by The Second Shift.

You hereby authorize The Second Shift to charge your credit card (or any other form of payment authorized by The Second Shift or mutually agreed to between you and The Second Shift) for the payments described herein. The Second Shift does not store your credit card information. Instead, it uses Stripe.com, a secure and reputable payment processor, to process payments.

The Second Shift is not an employment service and does not serve as an employer of any Contractor. The Second Shift is not responsible for any tax returns or payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state, or local tax authority, in any nation, including, but not limited to, unemployment insurance, social security or payroll withholding tax or income reporting, in connection with any Business Project, Project Payment or any services provided or received by Users.

BUSINESS PROJECTS

image-separater

You understand and agree that The Second Shift is not a party to any Business Project. The Second Shift will not have any liability or obligations under or related to Business Projects. The Second Shift has no control over Contractors or Businesses, and makes no representations as to the integrity, reliability, capability, or qualifications of any Business or Contractor or the quality, security or legality of any Contractor’s work on any Business Project, and disclaims any and all liability relating thereto.

The Second Shift does not direct, has no control over Business Projects, and makes no representations as to the quality, safety or legality of any Business Project, the truth or accuracy of Profiles, the qualifications, background, or identities of Users, the ability of Contractors to perform Business Projects, the ability of Businesses to pay Contractors, or that a Business or Contractor can or will actually complete a transaction.

Contractors understand and agree that they are not employees of The Second Shift, and that this Agreement does not create an employment relationship. The Second Shift does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control the work that Contractors perform for Businesses, or the manner in which they perform the work. It is the intent of the Service that Contractors and Businesses will communicate directly regarding the Business Projects and the performance of work related to those Business Projects. Contractors and Businesses also directly negotiate and agree upon the Project Payment. The Second Shift does not provide Contractor with any training or equipment needed for any Business Project. The Second Shift understands that the Contractors have specialized skills, knowledge, and experience, and are essentially running their own consulting or freelance businesses. The Second Shift recognizes that Contractors may also be providing their independent contractor services through other arrangements or agreements outside of The Second Shift. There is no expectation or requirement that Contractors only provide their services to businesses or other entities through The Second Shift. It is the intent of the Service that Contractors will control their own work hours and work location, and that Businesses will not provide Contractors with any training or equipment needed for any Business Project.

This Agreement does not create a partnership or agency relationship between Business and Contractor, and Contractor does not have authority to enter into written or oral, whether implied or express, contracts on behalf of a Business.

The Second Shift does not and is not required to verify any information given to us by Users, nor does The Second Shift perform background checks on Users. The Second Shift may provide information about a User, such as a rating or third party feedback, but such information is based solely on data that Users or third parties submit. The Second Shift provides such information solely for the convenience of its Users and is not an endorsement or recommendation by The Second Shift.

The Second Shift may also, in its complete and sole discretion, with or without prior notice, remove any posted Business Project from the Site provided that no Contractor has accepted the Business Project.
