Welcome to Updone! These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern your use of our platform located at www.updone.com (the "Site") and our services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.

Scope of Updone Services

1. Platform Use: Updone operates an online platform that allows users ("Hosts") to connect with service providers ("Talent") who provide event staffing services.
2. Service Agreement: When a Host posts a staffing request, and a Talent responds, a contract ("Staffing Agreement") is created between the Host and the Talent. Updone acts as a facilitator but is not a party to these agreements.
3. Modifications: Hosts can modify or cancel staffing requests before an offer is accepted. If an offer is accepted, the Staffing Agreement is binding unless otherwise modified or canceled under the agreed-upon terms.

User Eligibility and Responsibilities

1. Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Services.
2. Account Responsibility: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to share your account with others.
3. Compliance with Laws: Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including employment laws, when using the Services.

Fees and Payments

1. Service Fees: Updone charges a service fee for connecting Hosts with Talent. Hosts are required to pay the agreed-upon rate for the Talent’s services, along with any applicable service fees, upon agreement.
2. Payment Terms: Payments are processed through our third-party payment provider. By using our Services, you agree to their terms and conditions.
3. Refunds: Refunds are available only under certain conditions, such as cancellations before services are rendered or if Updone determines the Talent did not meet agreed service levels.

Cancellations and Modifications

1. Host Cancellations: Hosts can cancel requests before a Talent has accepted the job. If a Host cancels after the Talent accepts, cancellation fees may apply.
2. Talent Cancellations: Talent may cancel an accepted staffing job only in emergencies, and failure to show up for the job without notice can result in penalties or removal from the platform.
3. Dispute Resolution: Updone encourages users to resolve disputes directly. In cases where disputes cannot be resolved, Updone may intervene and make a final decision based on available evidence.

Use of Personal Information

1. Privacy: The use of our Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share personal information.
2. Data Sharing: Updone may share user information with other users as necessary to facilitate staffing arrangements.

User Conduct

1. Prohibited Uses: You may not use our platform for illegal, harmful, or fraudulent activities. This includes providing false information, violating third-party rights, or engaging in harassment or discrimination.
2. Content License: By posting information on the platform (e.g., reviews, job requests), you grant Updone a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute this content for the purposes of operating the Services.

Limitation of Liability

1. No Guarantees: Updone does not guarantee the performance of Talent or the suitability of job postings. All transactions are between Hosts and Talent, and Updone disclaims liability for any direct or indirect damages resulting from interactions on the platform.
2. Maximum Liability: Updone’s liability to you for any damages arising from your use of the Services is limited to the total fees paid by you to Updone in the six months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

Termination

1. Termination by User: You may terminate your account at any time by contacting customer support.
2. Termination by Updone: Updone reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in behavior detrimental to the platform or other users.
3. Effect of Termination: Termination of an account does not relieve the user from fulfilling any outstanding obligations under a Staffing Agreement made prior to termination.

2. Mediation: In the event of a dispute between users that cannot be resolved, Updone may provide assistance or refer the matter to an independent mediator.
