JobForDrones Terms of Service: Drone Operators and Service Providers (“AGREEMENT”)

1. PARTIES AND EFFECTIVE DATE

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is between SBS Drone Tech LLC, DBA JobForDrones (“JobForDrones” or “our”) and you as the provider of goods or provider of services who is subscribing to or otherwise using the JobForDrones site and services (“Service Provider” or “you”), whether or not you actually make or sell any goods or services in connection with your use of the JobForDrones site or services. Your use of the JobForDrones website, located at www.jobfordrones.com (the “Site”) and any other JobForDrones services, will at all times be governed by this Agreement and our privacy policy (collectively, the “Service Provider Terms and Conditions”).

This version of the Service Provider Agreement was implemented and became effective on October 1, 2016 (“Effective Date”). It applies from the later of that date and the date on which you accepted it through the Site.

2. PURPOSE OF JobForDrones

JobForDrones was created as an online marketplace to match customers for drone services with drone service providers (you.)  When a job is posted, you may be asked to bid on the job and then enter into an agreement if your bid is accepted.  You may also search for jobs on the JobForDrones site.  However, JobForDrones’ only purpose is to help you to identify customers in your market.  JobForDrones makes no guaranty, representation, or assurance that any agreement that you enter into with a client will be legally enforceable if challenged.

Prior to your entering into a given agreement with a client, JobForDrones shall have the right (but in no event any obligation) to reject any Agreement by notifying the parties thereto that they may not enter into the proposed Agreement.

Plain English: JobForDrones cannot guarantee that you will be paid or that the customer won’t change their mind.  Our responsibility for the job ends when you and the customer agree to work together.  But this is a summary, you must read the fine print.

3. ELIGIBILITY TO USE THE SITE

The Site is available only to legal entities or persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old and are otherwise capable of forming legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are a person who agrees to this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, the terms “Service Provider,” “you,” and “your” refer both to you personally and the entity on whose behalf you agree. Furthermore, you personally represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

4. ROLE OF JobForDrones

You agree that by bidding on a job to another User of the Site, a customer, you are agreeing and intending to enter into a binding legal agreement with that User if and when that User accepts your proposal. That binding agreement shall be between only you and that other User. JobForDrones shall not be a party to any agreement between you and another User. You understand and agree that JobForDrones does not deliver any goods or provide services for or on behalf of you, does not ensure payment by any User, and does not make any representations regarding the quality of such goods or services, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Service Provider acknowledges, agrees and understands that: (i) the Site is merely a venue for introducing and facilitating agreements between Users; (ii) JobForDrones is not a party to any Job Agreements between Users; (iii) no User, including you, is an employee, agent, or representative of JobForDrones; (iv) JobForDrones is not an employee, agent, or representative of any User, including you; (v) JobForDrones does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control any User’s work; (vi) JobForDrones shall not have any liability or obligations under or related to Job Agreements or for any acts or omissions by any User; (vii) JobForDrones has no control over Users; and (viii) JobForDrones makes no representations as to (a) the reliability, capability, honesty, qualifications, licenses, certificates, exemptions or other characteristics of any User or any User’s statements or conduct; or (b) the quality, safety, or legality of any Job delivered by a Service Provider.

Plain English: You work for your own company, not for JobForDrones.  We are not responsible for your deliverables or your business. You are responsible for your own work, and accept the risks of entering into agreements with customers.  This is a summary; you must read the fine print!
