ScoreCarts provides a venue for third-party Clients and third-party Agents to enter into and complete transactions. ScoreCarts and its Affiliates act strictly as a liaison between Clients and Agents. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the Services, the ability of Agents to provide the Services to Clients' satisfaction, or the ability of Clients to pay for Services. We are not responsible for the actions of any Client or Agent. We do not conduct any screening or other verification with respect to Clients or Agents, nor do we provide any recommendations. As a Client or an Agent, you use the Site and the App at your own risk.
a. Clients in General: Upon completion of Services to Clients' reasonable satisfaction, Clients must pay Agents for their Services. As a Client, you agree that upon your approval of the Services performed by an Agent, payment will be remitted to the Agent (as described in Section 4 below). After you have approved the applicable Services, you are not entitled to any refund of your payment for such Services. If a Client is not reasonably satisfied with the Services, the Client may reject the Services. As a Client, you will be charged a fee for your use of ScoreCarts in connection with each request for Services. Please review the applicable ScoreCarts Fees contained in the Policies for all applicable fees associated with your use of the Site pursuant to this Agreement. All fees are in AED dirhams unless stated otherwise. The ScoreCarts Fees may vary in the future. You agree to pay the amounts set forth in the ScoreCarts Fees from time to time on the terms set forth herein and therein, and to check the fees and terms each time you use the Site. You acknowledge that Agents are agreeing to perform Services for you as independent contractors and not employees. If you have any questions about your obligations to comply with local laws and regulations pursuant to Section 6, you should seek independent legal advice. Further, you agree that you will only accept work product from Agents that has been submitted through the Site.
b. Agents in General: You may only register once as an Agent with ScoreCarts. You may only access your Agent account from one device at any given time. Agents may perform Services for any Client in accordance with the specifications submitted by the Client. However, if the Services do not meet the Client's reasonable satisfaction, ScoreCarts may reject the Services and repost the specific request on behalf of the Client. As a Agent, the Client for whom you provide Services is your Client, and as such, you agree that the work product of any Services you perform is deemed a "work made for hire" for the benefit of the Client, and all ownership rights, including worldwide intellectual property rights, will vest with the Client immediately upon your performance of the Service. To the extent any such rights do not vest in Client under applicable law, you hereby assign or exclusively grant (without the right to any compensation) all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, to such work product to the Client. As an Agent you are performing Services for a Client in your personal capacity as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Client or of ScoreCarts. You specifically acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) you will not use robots, scripts or other automated methods to complete the Services; (ii) you will submit all work product through the App only, and not directly to a Client, orto Scorecarts; (iii) you will provide Clients for whom you perform Services with any information reasonably requested by them in connection with your performance of such Services; (iv) you are responsible for, and will, comply with all applicable laws and registration requirements, including those applicable to independent contractors and maximum working hours regulations; (v) this Agreement does not create an association, joint venture, partnership or franchise, employer/employee relationship between Agents and Clients, or Agents and ScoreCarts; (vi) you will not represent yourself as an employee or agent of a Client or ScoreCarts; (vii) you will not be entitled to any of the benefits that a Client or ScoreCarts may make available to its employees, such as vacation pay, sick leave, insurance programs, including group health insurance; and (viii) you are not eligible to recover worker's compensation benefits in the event of injury. If you have any questions about your obligations to comply with local laws and regulations pursuant to Section 5, you should seek independent legal advice.

e. Customer Service: ScoreCarts will be responsible for and will have sole discretion regarding all customer service issues relating to use of the Site, App and their features.
f. Disputes between Clients and Agents: Your use of the Site and App is at your own risk. Because ScoreCarts acts as a liaison between Clients and Agents, ScoreCarts will be involved in resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of the Services or any transaction, only to the level deemed necessary by ScoreCarts.
ScoreCarts or its Affiliates will process all payments made by Clients to Agents (the "Payment Service"). Client payments made through the Payment Service are received by ScoreCarts or its Affiliates on behalf of Agents, and may be disbursed only in accordance with the terms outlined below.
a. Prepaid Jobs: Each Client must prepay for work they intend on acquiring through the Services by funding ScoreCarts Prepaid Jobs ("Prepaid Jobs") with a credit card on the platform or via funding a prepaid account or by issuing cheques. Prepaid Jobs are subject to the ScoreCarts Prepaid Jobs Terms and Conditions. Prepaid Jobs are maintained in a single Prepaid Job account for you solely for use of the Services. The amount of Prepaid Jobs funded must be at least equal to the total amount that will be owed to Agents upon completion and acceptance of the Services and any amounts payableto Scorecarts in connection with Client's use of the Site.
b. Jobs on Credit: Clients may request to be billed for work they intend on acquiring through the Services. Jobs on Credit are subject to the ScoreCarts Jobs on Credit Terms and Addendum. Purchase orders are required prior to jobs being processed.
c. Disbursement of Funds to Agents: When Agents register with the App they are automatically registered with ScoreCarts. A payment account ("Payment Account") will automatically be established in conjunction with their registration on the Site. Agents will be receiving a ‘Payment Code’ once they have reached a specific amount of submitted and completed and approved audits. The ‘Payment Code’ will be redeemable with cash through Ansari services. See our FAQs for more information. ScoreCarts is under no obligation to disburse funds from an Agent’s Payment Account more than two years after the original transaction date, if no request for such disbursement exists. After two (2) years a twenty (20) percent service fee per month will be assessed on the account. We reserve the right to cancel your Payment Account for any reason.
d. Restrictions and Limitations: We reserve the right to terminate or suspend any Payment Account, or to delay the availability of any Prepaid Jobs, transfer or disbursement of any amounts, in each case for any reason in our sole discretion, including, without limitation, if we believe that a Client or Agent is in violation of this Agreement. As a security measure, we reserve the right to restrict the transfer to Agents of any amounts for up to three (3) Business Days (as defined below) following any purchase. If ScoreCarts terminates this Agreement because you have violated the Policies then (i) any Services that have been completed by Agents but not yet accepted by you will be deemed accepted and the applicable payments will be remitted to the Agents and deducted from your Prepaid JOBS balance and (ii) your remaining Prepaid Jobs balance (if any) will become the property of ScoreCarts.
e. Statements and Account Balances: All purchase of any Prepaid Jobs, making payments to an Agent or other payment transaction occurring with respect to a Payment Account will be reflected on the Site. In addition, you may access your transaction information (your "Activity History") online in the "Clients," and "View Transaction History" (or equivalent) areas of the Site or App at any time. You may access this feature only with a browser that is compatible with the Service, including any security features that are part of the Service. Interest will not be paid on Prepaid Jobs or any amounts held in Payment Accounts.
