Freelancer Features

If Employer does not pay for the next milestone within 10 days of acceptance of previous milestones, the Order under the next milestones will not start. A milestone will be automatically marked as complete if no acceptance or request for modification were submitted within 8 days after being marked as Delivered, however, in such case all further milestones will not start.

Shipping Physical Deliverables

Some of the services on Gigslance are delivered physically (arts and crafts, collectable items, etc.). For these types of Gigs, Freelancers may decide to define a shipping pricing factor.

• Gigs that include a shipping pricing factor must have physical deliverables sent to Employers.

Reviews

• Feedback reviews provided by Employers while completing an Order are an essential part of Gigslance’s rating system. Reviews demonstrate the Employer’s overall experience with the Freelancers and their service. Employers are encouraged to communicate to the Freelancer any concerns experienced during their active order in regards to the service provided by the Freelancer.
• Leaving a Employer’s feedback is a basic prerogative of a Employer. Feedback reviews will not be removed unless there are clear violations of our Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards.
• To prevent any misuse of our Feedback system, all feedback reviews must come from legitimate sales executed exclusively through the Gigslance platform from users within our Community.

• Feedback comments given by Employers are publicly displayed on a Freelancer’s Gig page.
• Work Samples are the delivered images and videos sent to an Employer in a delivery message. Work Samples are added to a Freelancer’s Live Portfolio on their Gig page if the Employer chooses to publish the Work Sample while providing a public feedback review.

Ownership

Ownership and limitations: When purchasing a Gig on Gigslance, unless clearly stated otherwise on the Freelancer’s Gig page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Employer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright in the work delivered from the Freelancer, and the Freelancer waives any and all moral rights therein. 

Accordingly, the Freelancer expressly assigns to the Employer the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Employer shall be subject to full payment for the Gig, and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work and its copyright shall be the exclusive property of the Employer and, upon delivery, the Freelancer agrees that it thereby, pursuant to these Terms of Service, assigns all right, title and interest in and to the delivered work to the Employer. Some Gigs (including for custom created work) charge additional payments for a Commercial Use License. This means that if you purchase the Gig for personal use, you will own all rights you require for such use, and will not need the Commercial Use License. If you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration, or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a Custom Order and will have broader rights that cover your business use.

For Voice Over Gigs, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Employer is purchasing basic rights, (which means the Employer is paying a one time fee allowing them to use the work forever and for any purpose except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots). If you intend to use the Voice Over to promote a product and/or service (with the exception of paid marketing channels), you will need to purchase the Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) through Gig Extra. If you intend to use the Voice Over in radio, television and internet commercials, you will need to purchase the Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) through Custom Order.

Furthermore, users (both Employers and Freelancers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Gigslance, including Gig texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Gigslance for no consideration for marketing and/or other purposes.

Voice Over Commercial Buy-Out

When purchasing a Voice Over Gig, the Freelancer grants you a perpetual, exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the purchased Voice Over (except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots).

By purchasing a Commercial Rights with your order, in addition to the basic rights, the Freelancer grants you with a license to use the Voice Over for any corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes. Corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes means any business related use for the creation of, or to promote a for-product profit or service (with the exception of paid marketing channels), such as (by way of example): explainer videos posted to company websites, social networks or email campaigns, audiobooks, podcast intros, and strictly excludes any illegal, immoral or defamatory purpose.

By purchasing a Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) with your order, in addition to the Commercial Rights, the Freelancer grants you with a license for full broadcasting, which includes internet, radio, and TV “paid channels” including (by way of example): television commercials, radio commercials, internet radio, and music/video streaming platforms, and strictly excludes any illegal, immoral or defamatory purpose.

This Buy-Out is subject to Gigslance’s Terms of Service. There is no warranty, express or implied, with the purchase of this delivery, including with respect to fitness for a particular purpose. Neither the Freelancer nor Gigslance will be liable for any claims, or incidental, consequential or other damages arising out of this license, the delivery or your use of the delivery.

Gig Commercial Use License

By purchasing a “Commercial Use License” with your Gig Order, the Freelancer grants you a perpetual, exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the purchased delivery for Permitted Commercial Purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Freelancer retains all ownership rights. “Permitted Commercial Purposes” means any business related use, such as (by way of example) advertising, promotion, creating web pages, integration into product, software or other business related tools etc., and strictly excludes any illegal, immoral or defamatory purpose. This License is subject to Gigslance’s Terms of Service. There is no warranty, express or implied, with the purchase of this delivery, including with respect to fitness for a particular purpose. Neither the Freelancer nor Gigslance will be liable for any claims, or incidental, consequential or other damages arising out of this license, the delivery or your use of the delivery.
