Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By using onderahq.com, applying to the Ondera expert network, or engaging Ondera for a project, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit and for keeping your login credentials secure. Submitting false credentials, licences, or work history is grounds for immediate removal from the network.

3. Experts are independent contributors

Experts join as independent contractors, not employees of Ondera or of any client. There is no exclusivity: you are free to work with other platforms and clients.

Work is offered as projects become available. Acceptance of any individual task is optional, and Ondera does not guarantee a minimum volume of work.

4. Payment

Approved work is paid monthly in USD to the payout details on file. Rates are agreed per project before work begins. Experts are responsible for their own taxes and any local filings.

Work that fails agreed quality criteria may be returned for correction before it is approved for payment.

5. Confidentiality and client data

Project materials, prompts, model outputs, and client identities are confidential. You may not copy, republish, or reuse them outside the project, and you may not feed them into third-party tools unless the client has approved it in writing.

6. Intellectual property

Work product created for a project is assigned to Ondera or the client on payment, as set out in the applicable project agreement. Ondera's brand, site content, and software remain Ondera's property.

7. Acceptable use

Do not misuse the site, attempt to access accounts or data that are not yours, scrape the service, or use it for unlawful purposes. Some projects may involve sensitive or adult content for review; this is always labelled in advance and entirely optional.

8. Client engagements

Project scope, rates, deliverables, and timelines are set out in a separate statement of work. Where that document conflicts with these terms, it takes precedence for that engagement.

9. Termination

Either party may end participation at any time. Approved work completed before termination is still paid. Confidentiality and intellectual-property obligations survive termination.

10. Successor / transferability

In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, your account information and the consents you have given may be transferred to the successor or acquiring entity, which will remain bound by the permission you granted and by privacy terms at least as protective as these. We will notify you of any such transfer and of any material change to how your data is used.

11. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, Ondera is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and total liability for any claim is limited to the fees paid or payable for the engagement giving rise to it.

12. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; continued use after an update means acceptance. Questions: hello@onderahq.com.
