Weekly Flat Rate is calculated by adding 20% (for self-serve) or 40% (white glove) to the Talent’s rate, and then multiplying that by either 20 (for part-time) or 40 (for full-time).

Ongoing Jobs are set up on a recurring billing basis with 2 weeks paid upfront. There is a 3% transaction fee on top of percentage.

The Talent is expected to put in extra hours if there are outstanding deliverables in the time period (weekly) at no additional charge to the client. If Contracted Talent finishes his or her work early, the weekly flat rate still applies.

For more information about how payments are structured, please see the Payments section in Section 9 of these Terms.

7.3 Use of Subcontractors and Worker Classification

It is the responsibility of Users to determine whether Talent should be classified as employees or independent contractors, and Users bear all risk of misclassification. Users who determine a Talent should be an employee must comply with section 10.2 below.

To be clear, FullStackRemote does not classify Talent as employees or independent contractors. Rather, Users must determine, under applicable law, whether the Talent is an employee or independent contractor (or some other category of worker if not in the U.S. and if foreign law has other categories of workers). FullStackRemote suggests that Users obtain their own legal advice in making such determination. Users are also responsible for complying with all applicable worker and/or employment-related laws, including, but not limited to, obtaining workers’ compensation insurance when required by applicable law.

Payments are non-disputable via the Service once payment has been released to the Talent. In the case of a dispute after payments have been released, Employers must contact FullStackRemote at hire@fullstackremote.com to request any refunds within one week of a dispute.

For all disputes, the maximum refund amount Employers can be awarded is the full amount of the invoice which is disputed.

8.1 Disputes on Payments

Where invoices are manually submitted, Employers may query a Talent’s invoice during the “Dispute Period”.

To dispute an invoice, Employers must directly contact FullStackRemote at hire@fullstackremote.com, at which point the Talent will be notified. It is the Employer’s responsibility to review every invoice and to raise any queries during the Dispute Period.

Once a query on an invoice has been raised, the Talent will be notified and the Talent’s payout will be paused. It is the responsibility of the Talent and Employer to discuss any disputed invoices. Once a resolution has been made, the Talent will need to re-submit their invoice for the Employer to review.

Once the Dispute Period expires, Employer will be deemed to have accepted the Talent’s services and fees and can no longer dispute them. The Talent’s payment will then be processed. Contacting FullStackRemote does not qualify as filing a dispute or raising a query on an invoice.

Any questions regarding FullStackRemote’ Dispute Resolution Policy may be sent to hire@fullstackremote.com.

8.2 Disputes on Non-Hourly Payments

If pay is not on an hourly basis, the Employer agrees to be charged up front for the Talent’s work, and the Talent’s payout will process after 7 days. If a Dispute arises during the 4-day period, the Employer or Talent may “Pause” or “End” the job through the Service.

10. NON-CIRCUMVENTION OF THE SERVICE

By using the Service, Employers and Talent agree to use FullStackRemote to make all payments to Talent or Employers identified through the Service. Employers and Talent acknowledge that FullStackRemote earns some of its fees through transactions that take place on the Service. Employers and Talent agree not to take any action, directly or indirectly, to circumvent these fees. If it has come to your attention that a Talent or Employer solicits payment outside the Service, you agree to notify FullStackRemote immediately by sending an email to hire@fullstackremote.com.

By way of illustration, and not in limitation of the foregoing, you must not:

● Submit proposals or solicit parties identified through the Service to contact, hire, engage, retain, or pay outside the Service.

● Accept proposals or solicit parties identified through the Service to contact, deliver services, invoice, or receive payment outside the Service.

● Invoice or report on the Service or in an Opt-Out Fee request an invoice or payment amount lower than that actually agreed between Users

Any agreement or attempted agreement between the Employer and a Talent in connection with a service contract, requiring that payment be made outside of the Service constitutes a material breach of these Terms. If a Employer and Talent were initially connected through the Service, FullStackRemote will immediately invoice the Employer for the full Buyout fee, due immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Employer or Talent pays the Buyout Fee (as defined below) to FullStackRemote, and FullStackRemote notifies both the Employer and the Talent that the buyout option has been exercised for that relationship, the Employer or Talent has the right or obligation to process payments outside of the Service.

As going off-Service limits the opportunities and features for Users, both the Employer and Talent must agree to buyout of the Service. If Employer and Talent proceed to work off-Service, the Employer or Talent requesting to work off-Service will be invoiced the full amount of the Buyout Fee. Users will have five days to pay the invoice in full before FullStackRemote automatically processes the charge using the User’s payment method on file with FullStackRemote, unless the User has arranged an alternate payment schedule with FullStackRemote.

 11. WORKER CLASSIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

FullStackRemote is not the employer of Talent. It is the responsibility of Employers to determine whether Talent should be classified as employees or independent contractors, and Employers bear all risk of misclassification. FullStackRemote makes no representation that a consulting (also known as “independent contractor”) relationship is the appropriate legal relationship for Talent and Employers. If Employers decide to hire Talent directly, then Employers must utilize the Buyout Fee, described above in section 10.1. It is the responsibility of Employers to comply with all applicable laws, including all laws relating to worker classification, immigration, export control, minimum wage, discrimination, and all other labor and employment laws. If FullStackRemote incurs any losses as a result of a Employer’s misclassification of a Talent, the Employer must indemnify FullStackRemote for the amount of such losses, plus attorneys’ fees. If FullStackRemote incurs any losses as a result of a Employer’s failure to comply with any applicable laws with respect to Talent, including any employment or immigration laws, the Employer must indemnify FullStackRemote for the amount of such losses, plus attorneys’ fees.

Talent will only provide services to Employers through the Service in countries in which the Talent are legally authorized to work. If FullStackRemote suffers any losses as a result of a Talent providing services in a jurisdiction in which a Talent is not legally authorized to work, the Talent will indemnify FullStackRemote for all such losses, including attorneys’ fees.

20. INDEMNIFICATION & RELEASE 

You agree to release, indemnify and hold the FullStackRemote Entities harmless from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a Delaware resident, you waive Delaware Civil Code, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” All Users acknowledge that they have been advised to consult with legal counsel and that they are familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by them, must have materially affected their settlement with the releasee. Users, being aware of said principle, agree to expressly waive any rights they may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

21. PRIVACY POLICY AND OTHER TERMS

FullStackRemote’ current Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is available on the Service. We recommend that you review the Privacy Policy at https://www.fullstackremote.com/privacy. The Privacy Policy and any other agreements FullStackRemote makes available to you are expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms.

22. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and FullStackRemote agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Delaware, for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the Service from our offices in Delaware, and we make no representation that Materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

23. GENERAL

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and FullStackRemote regarding your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted above, these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 13 through 24, along with the Privacy Policy and any other accompanying agreements, will survive.

24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION 

24.1 Generally

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and FullStackRemote in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and FullStackRemote agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited (if any) review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND FullStackRemote ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

24.2 Exceptions

Despite the provisions of Section 24.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

24.3 Arbitrator

Any arbitration between you and FullStackRemote will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting FullStackRemote at hire@fullstackremote.com.

24.4 Notice; Process

 A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). FullStackRemote’ address for Notice is: FullStackRemote Inc., 2035 Sunset Lake Road, Suite B-2, Newark, DE 19702. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or FullStackRemote may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or FullStackRemote must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, FullStackRemote will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by FullStackRemote in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

24.5 Fees and Procedure

The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, FullStackRemote will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New Castle County, Delaware, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse FullStackRemote for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

The arbitrator may grant injunctions and other relief. The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which the dispute arose, including civil procedure rules, and the arbitrator shall apply the substantive and procedural law of the jurisdiction in which the dispute arose. To the extent that the AAA Rules conflict with local law, local law shall take preference. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award.

24.6 No Class Actions

YOU AND FULLSTACKREMOTE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING except that users may bring a proceeding as a private attorney general, if and as allowed by law. Further, unless both you and FullStackRemote agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement infringes upon any rights a User may have under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including any rights prohibiting compulsory arbitration.

24.7 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision

If FullStackRemote makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to FullStackRemote’ address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to FullStackRemote’ address for Notice, in which case your account with FullStackRemote will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

24.8 Enforceability

If Section 24.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 24 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 24 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

24.9 Right to Opt Out of Arbitration

You may submit a statement notifying FullStackRemote that you wish to opt out and not be subject to arbitration under this section. Should you desire to opt out, you must notify FullStackRemote of your intention to opt out by submitting a written notice, which may be via email to hire@fullstackremote.com, stating that you are opting out of this section. In order to be effective, your opt out notice must be provided within thirty (30) days of your agreeing to these Terms. Should you timely opt out of this section, you may pursue available legal remedies and will not be required to arbitrate claims.
