Services

Vertex Hub is a curated marketplace where independent contractors who provide software development, design, project management, testing, and diagnostics or other professional services (the “Approved Contractor” and the services they provide, the “Services”) can find the Customers seeking such Services and vice versa, as well as buy and sell the Services.

 

Vertex Hub provides the following services:

hosting and maintaining the Vertex Hub Platform through which the Approved Contractors may be notified of Customers that may be seeking the Services they offer, and Customers may be notified of the Approved Contractors that may offer the Services they are seeking;

pre-vetting of the Approved Contractors and talents whose profiles are available on the Vertex Hub Platform; and shortlisting the Approved Contractors that offer the Services the Customers are seeking and facilitating the formation of the respective Service Contracts (as defined below).

When the Customer enters a Service Contract, the Customer uses the Site to pay any amounts owed under the Service Contract and applicable Vertex Hub Service Fee (as defined below).

The content of this Website is not intended for use or distribution to any person or entity in any jurisdiction, geographical location, or country/state where such use or distribution will be contrary to the laws and regulations or subject   to any form of registration, claims, demands, costs, liabilities, damages, or expenses.

The Website is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, you cannot use or register to use this Website or its services. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you have the necessary legal capacity to comply and be bound by these  Terms&Conditions.

Provision of Services and Payment Arrangements

Vertex Hub takes reasonable care in pre-vetting and referring the Approved Contractor to the Customer; however, it is the Customer’s responsibility to decide whether to engage the Approved Contractor for the provision of Services.

The Customer shall make a prepayment in full for the Services to be provided.

 

We charge a service fee to the Customers for the use of our services (“Vertex Hub Service Fee”). Vertex Hub Service Fee will be charged on each invoice issued under the Service Contract at the rate clearly displayed on the Site or the applicable invoice. Unless otherwise stated on the applicable invoice, Vertex Hub Service Fee is quoted in US dollars.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vertex Hub Service Fee will not be charged in relation to (a) the existing Service Contracts the Customer entered into prior to the effective date of the fee change; (b) the new Service Contracts the Customer enters into with the Approved Contractor at any time within 12 months after the date of the last invoice issued to the Customer via the Vertex Hub Platform.

Vertex Hub reserves the right to change Vertex Hub Service Fee at any time and will not provide the Customer notice of any fee changes before they become effective.

We reserve the exclusive right to determine the cost of services and change such cost of services at our sole discretion. By agreeing to the Terms&Conditions you consent to monitor the updated prices on our website.

 

 

Approved Contractor for the provision of the Services

Should the Customer decide to engage the Approved Contractor for the provision of the Services, a contract, regardless of the form and media (hereunder referred to as the “Service Contract”) will be formed directly between such Customer and the respective Approved Contractor. The terms and conditions of this Agreement, however, will govern and supersede any term or condition in the Service Contract that purports to expand Vertex Hub’s obligations or restrict Vertex Hub’s rights under this Agreement.

 

Liability

Although Vertex Hub may facilitate the formation of the Service Contract between the Customer and the Approved Contractor, Vertex Hub shall not have the powers to conclude any agreements or make any covenants to the Customer on behalf of the Approved Contractor. The Customer hereby disclaims any right it may have to bring a claim against Vertex Hub in relation to any loss or damage that results from any dealings between the Customer and any Approved Contractor.

 

Objection Period/ Return of Funds

 

Advance payment made by the Customer for the Services to be provided in every upcoming period shall be transferred to the Approved Contractor without undue delay if within 14 business days (“Objection Period”) after the end of such period the Customer neither requests to submit payment nor communicates in writing their objections regarding the Services provided.

For the avoidance of doubt, payment made by the Customer to the account designated by Vertex Hub shall satisfy the Customer’s obligation with respect to the payment to the Approved Contractor.

If within the Objection Period the Customer raises a written objection regarding the quality of the Services provided or if the services were not provided or the result of the services significantly diverges from the terms of the order to which the Parties came , the Customer shall have the right to receive a refund for the amount paid in the invoicing period without invoking the dispute resolution procedure, provided the Approved Contractor accepts the refund request. The Customer might be offered to receive modification of services instead of receiving a refund. It is understood that the result of the service was confirmed when the service was actually provided, that is, from the moment the result was sent to the client’s account or to the registered email address. The Customer has the right additionally to  confirm receiving of the services in his account which automatically means the services were received in full, on time and in accordance with all the conditions to which the Parties agreed. If the Approved Contractor disputes the refund request, the issue shall be transferred to Vertex Hub dispute specialist(s), thus invoking the dispute resolution procedure.

We encourage you to discuss and seek ways to resolve the disagreement with the Approved Contractor directly, however, if you are unable to do so, our specialists will conduct an independent assessment of facts and written documents (including by means of electronic communication) pertaining to the case in question and present the parties to the Service Contract with a written resolution. Vertex Hub shall transfer the applicable portion of the payment to the Approved Contractor within 14 business days after a resolution is presented.

Any action that encourages or solicits payment directly to the Approved Contractor or through any channels other than those provided or specified by Vertex Hub is a violation of this Agreement. The Customer shall immediately notify Vertex Hub if the Approved Contractor requests that the Customer make any such payment as described in this clause. In the event the Approved Contractor breaches the terms of the Service Contract, upon the Customer’s request Vertex Hub will provide replacement candidates having similar qualifications and experience, provided all undisputed invoices are paid in full by the Customer.
