4. PURPOSE OF THE SITE AND SITE SERVICES

The Site is a marketplace where Clients and Freelancers can identify each other and buy and sell Freelancer Services online. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Kolabtree provides the Site Services to Clients and Freelancers, including hosting and maintaining the Site, enabling the formation of Service Contracts, and managing disputes related to those Service Contracts. If a Client and Freelancer agree on terms of the Freelancer Services, a Service Contract is formed directly between such Client and Freelancer, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 5 (Contractual Relationship Between Client and Freelancer). When Client and Freelancer enter a Service Contract, they use the Site to hire, manage, and pay online.

4.1 Accounts

A separate account will be created to receive money from clients and the funds paid by the client will be held in this account, and the funds will be remitted to freelancer upon successful completion of the assignment to clients’ satisfaction. The funds payable to Freelancer will be net of the commission due to Kolabtree (Refer clause 6.1).

5. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIENT AND FREELANCER

5.1 Service Contracts

Client and Freelancer acknowledge and agree that when Freelancer accepts a Job awarded by Client, Client and Freelancer will be deemed to have entered into a "Service Contract" with each other that is comprised of the following agreements (as applicable): (1) The Fixed Price Contract; (2) the Job terms awarded and accepted on the Site to the extent that the terms do not purport to expand Kolabtree's obligations or restrict Kolabtree's rights under this Agreement; and (3) any other contractual provisions accepted by both Client and Freelancer, to the extent that the provisions do not purport to expand Kolabtree's obligations or restrict Kolabtree's rights under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the formation of a Service Contract between Client and Freelancer does not, under any circumstance, create an employment relationship between Kolabtree and the Freelancer or a principal-agent relationship between the Client and Kolabtree.

5.2 Freelancer Representations and Warranties

For the purposes of the Service Contract, Freelancer hereby represents and warrants that (a) the Work Product will be an original work of Freelancer; (b) the Work Product will fully conform to the requirements and terms set forth

in the Service Contract; (c) neither the Work Product nor any element thereof will infringe or misappropriate the Proprietary Rights of any third party; (d) neither the Work Product nor any element thereof will be subject to any restrictions or to any mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests, or encumbrances; (e) Freelancer will not grant, directly or indirectly, any rights or interest whatsoever in the Work Product to the third parties; (f) Freelancer has full right and power to enter into and perform the Service Contract without the consent of any third party or under applicable law; (g) Freelancer has an unqualified right to grant the license to all Background Technology as set forth in the section titled “License to Background Technology”; and (h) Freelancer will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Freelancer’s obligations under the Service Contract.

6. PAYMENT TERMS

6.1 Service Fee

Freelancer agrees that when a Client pays a Freelancer or funds related to a Job are otherwise released to a Freelancer, Kolabtree will first deduct up to 20% service fee for creating, hosting, maintaining, and providing the Site Services and then credit the balance into the Freelancer’s Account. Client and a Freelancer are obligated to use the Site to pay and receive payment for Freelancer Services if they identified each other through the Site, as detailed in Section 7 titled "Exclusivity and Non-Circumvention," below.

6.2 Membership Fees

Kolabtree reserves the right to introduce a new component in, or convert any present component of, the Site Service into a paid service and introduce a subscription based mechanism. Kolabtree shall ensure that before implementing the subscription based services, the existing Users shall be notified in advance.

6.3 Disbursements to Freelancers

Kolabtree disburses funds that are payable to Freelancer under the Service Contract for the Job (less any applicable service fees) in accordance with the Freelancer's payment instructions provided to Kolabtree within ninety days after the Freelancer Fees are due and payable from Client. Freelancer agrees that it will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds held by Kolabtree prior to disbursement to Freelancer. Freelancer acknowledges that Payment Gateway may deduct some nominal fees according to applicable rates for remitting the money to the Freelancers Account as per the payment method chosen by the Freelancer.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and except as prohibited by applicable law, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated the conditions and restrictions of the Site or this Agreement, we hold the disbursement of the Freelancer Fees. Additionally, we may hold the disbursement of the Freelancer Fees if: (a) we or our payment gateways require additional information, such as Freelancer's passport, government-issued identification, address, or date of birth, (b) we have reason to believe the Freelancer Fees may be subject to dispute or chargeback, (c) we suspect fraud, (d) we believe there are reasonable grounds for insecurity with respect to the performance of Freelancer's obligations under a Service Contract, this Agreement, or other Terms of Service, or (e) we deem necessary in connection with any investigation; or (f) required by applicable law.

6.4 Non-payment

If Client fails to pay the Freelancer Fees or any other amounts due under this Agreement, whether by cancelling Client's credit or debit card, initiating an improper chargeback, or any other means, Kolabtree may suspend or terminate Client's Account, the processing of any additional payments, and any Freelancer Services in progress.

Without limiting other available remedies, Client must pay Kolabtree upon demand for amounts owed under this Agreement, plus interest on the outstanding amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum interest allowed by applicable law, plus attorneys' fees and other costs of collection to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Kolabtree, at our discretion, may set off amounts due against other amounts received from or held by Kolabtree, make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities in any resulting investigation or prosecution.

6.5 No Return / Partial refund of Funds

Client acknowledges and agrees that Kolabtree will charge Client's designated Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees for Fixed-Price Contracts, upon Client’s acceptance of the Freelancer Services. Therefore, and in consideration of the Site Services provided by Kolabtree, Client agrees that once Kolabtree charges Client's designated Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees as provided in this Agreement, the charge is non-refundable, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the Freelancer terminates the Service Contract. Client therefore agrees not to ask its credit card company, bank, or other Payment Method provider to charge back any Freelancer Fees or other Fees charged pursuant to this Agreement for any reason. A chargeback in breach of the foregoing obligation is a material breach of this Agreement. If Client initiates a chargeback in violation of this Agreement, Client agrees that Kolabtree shall be entitled to the full amount that has been improperly charged back plus interest on the outstanding amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum interest allowed by applicable law, plus attorneys' fees and other costs of collection to the extent permitted by applicable law. It is hereby clarified that only in the event the Freelancer terminates the Service Contract before completing the Job, the Client shall be entitled to a refund a pro-rata share of Freelancer Fees which shall include, but not limited to, fees for the portion of the work not done and proportinate share of Kolabtree’s service fees.

6.6 Formal Invoices and Taxes

Kolabtree shall have no responsibility for determining the necessity of or for issuing any formal invoices, or for determining, remitting, or withholding any taxes applicable to the Freelancer Fees. Freelancer shall be solely responsible for determining whether it is required by applicable law to issue any formal invoices for the Freelancer Fees.

6.7 Payment Methods

In order to use certain Site Services, Client must provide account information for at least one valid Payment Method.

Client hereby authorizes Kolabtree to run necessary authorizations on the Payment Method provided by Client, to store such details as Client's method of payment for Services, and to charge such Payment Method in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

By providing Payment Method information through the Site, Client represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Client is legally authorized to provide such information to us; (b) Client is legally authorized to perform payments using the Payment Method(s); and (c) such action does not violate the terms and conditions applicable to Client's use of such Payment Method(s) or applicable law. When Client authorizes a payment using a Payment Method via the Site, Client represents, warrants, and covenants that there are sufficient funds or credit available to complete the payment using the designated Payment Method. To the extent that any amounts owed under this Agreement cannot be collected from Client's Payment Method(s), Client is solely responsible for paying such amounts by other means. We reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you, and you will reimburse us, if we discover erroneous or duplicate transactions or we receive a chargeback from your Payment Method for any reason. You agree that we have the right to obtain such reimbursement by deducting amounts from future payments or withdrawals, charging your Payment Method(s), or obtaining reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. Without

limiting any of our other rights or remedies, we may also charge interest as per Clause 6.6 and/or terminate your Account immediately upon your failure to reimburse us for chargebacks or other amounts owed under this Agreement.

7. EXCLUSIVITY AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION

You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation Kolabtree receives for making the Site available to you is collected as a Service Fee described in the foregoing subsection titled "Service Fee." Kolabtree only deducts this Service Fee when a Client pays and a Freelancer receives payment through the Site. Therefore, for 24 months from the time you identify or are identified by any party through the Site (the "Exclusivity Period"), you must use the Site as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that party or arising out of your relationship with that party (the "Kolabtree Relationship").

Non-Circumvention. You agree not to circumvent the Payment Methods offered by the Site. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you must not:

i. Submit proposals or solicit parties identified through the Site to contact, hire, manage, or pay outside the Site.

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

iii.Invoice or report on the Site an amount lower than that actually agreed between Client and Freelancer.

You agree to notify Kolabtree immediately if another person improperly contacts you or suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Site. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention policy, please submit a confidential report to Kolabtree by sending an email message to us at Customer Support on contact@kolabtree.com.

8. SERVICE CONTRACT TERMS BETWEEN CLIENT AND FREELANCER

Unless otherwise agreed to in a writing signed by both Client and Freelancer and except for Service Contracts classified as employment relationships, the terms and conditions of the Service Contract that a Freelancer enters directly with a Client when the Freelancer agrees to provide Services to the Client are as set forth in this Section. Client and Freelancer may not agree to any other terms and conditions that affect the rights or responsibilities of Kolabtree. Kolabtree is not a party to any Service Contract between Users, except as a Third-Party Beneficiary as described further below.

8.1 Services

Freelancer shall perform the Freelancer Services in a professional and workmanlike manner and shall timely deliver any agreed upon Work Product. The manner and means of performing the Freelancer Services shall be determined and controlled by Freelancer.

8.2 Agency

If Freelancer wishes to subcontract with third parties to perform Freelancer Services on behalf of Freelancer, Freelancer represents and warrants that it does so as a legally recognized entity with the ability to hire and/or contract employees and/or independent contractors (an "Independent Contractor"). Freelancer and Independent Contractor agree and acknowledge that Independent Contractor’s employees and subcontractors are not employees of Kolabtree or Client. As between Kolabtree and Freelancer, Freelancer agrees that Kolabtree has no

Client grants Freelancer a limited, non-exclusive, revocable (at any time, at Client's sole discretion) right to use the Client Materials as necessary solely for the performance of the Freelancer Services under the applicable Service Contract. Client reserves all other rights and interest, including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Client Materials. Upon completion or termination of the Service Contract, or upon Client's written request, Freelancer shall immediately return all Client Materials to Client and further agrees to destroy all copies of Client Materials and Deliverables (except for Background Technology as permitted by the Service Contract) contained in or on Freelancer's premises, systems, or any other equipment or location otherwise under Freelancer's control. Within ten days of such request from Client, Freelancer agrees to provide written certification to Client that Freelancer has returned or destroyed all Client Materials and Work Product as provided in this subsection.

8.4.4 Ownership of Work Product and Intellectual Property

Upon Freelancer's receipt of full payment from Client, the Work Product, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product, will be the sole and exclusive property of Client, and Client will be deemed to be the author thereof. If Freelancer has any Intellectual Property Rights to the Work Product that are not owned by Client upon Freelancer's receipt of payment from Client, Freelancer hereby automatically irrevocably assigns to Client all right, title and interest worldwide in and to such Intellectual Property Rights. Except as set forth above, Freelancer retains no rights to use, and will not challenge the validity of Client's ownership in, such Intellectual Property Rights. Freelancer hereby waives any moral rights, rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal or inalienable rights under applicable law in and to the Work Product.

8.4.5 License to or Waiver of Other Rights

If Freelancer has any right to the Work Product, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Right, that cannot be assigned to Client by Freelancer, Freelancer hereby automatically, upon Freelancer's receipt of full payment from Client, unconditionally and irrevocably grants to Client during the term of such rights, an exclusive, even as to Freelancer, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid and royalty-free license to such rights, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display in any form or medium, whether now known or later developed, make, use, sell, import, offer for sale and exercise any and all such rights. If Freelancer has any rights to such Work Product that cannot be assigned or licensed, Freelancer hereby automatically, upon Freelancer's receipt of payment from Client, unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights, and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Client or related to Client's customers, with respect to such rights, and will, at Client's request and expense, consent to and join in any action to enforce such rights.

8.4.6 Assistance

Freelancer will assist Client in every way, including by signing any documents or instruments reasonably required, both during and after the term of the Service Contract, to obtain and enforce Intellectual Property Rights relating to Work Product in all countries. In the event Client is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Freelancer's signature on any document needed in connection with the foregoing, Freelancer hereby designates and appoints Client and its duly authorized officers and agents as its agent and attorney in fact to act on its behalf to further the purposes of this Section with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Freelancer.

8.5 Worker Classification

Client assumes all liability for determining whether Freelancers are independent contractors or employees; Kolabtree disclaims any liability for such determination. This Agreement does not create a partnership or agency or employment relationship between Client and Freelancer. Freelancer does not have authority to enter into written or oral (whether implied or express) contracts on behalf of Client. Service Contracts are classified as independent contractor relationships, and hence Client may not require an exclusive relationship between Client and

Freelancer. A Freelancer classified as independent contractor is free at all times to provide Freelancer Services to persons or businesses other than Client, including any competitor of Client.

For Service Contracts classified as employment relationships, Freelancer and Client will participate in the payroll program made available by a third-party provider and will enter into appropriate employment-related agreements as requested by the third-party provider or Client. For employment services and all applicable legal purposes, the employer of the Freelancer will be the third-party provider and not Kolabtree under any circumstances. Freelancer hereby waives any right to recover damages from Kolabtree for any unpaid wages, including but not limited to overtime wages, or other employment benefits accrued from the Client but remains unpaid.

9. RECORDS OF COMPLIANCE

Client and Freelancer will each (1) create and maintain records to document satisfaction of their respective obligations under this Agreement and any Service Contract, including, without limitation, their respective payment obligations and compliance with tax and employment laws, and (2) provide copies of such records to Kolabtree upon request. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as requiring Kolabtree to supervise or monitor Freelancer Services or a User's compliance with this Agreement, the other Terms of Service, or a Service Contract.

10. RELATIONSHIP WITH KOLABTREE

Kolabtree shall not have any liability or obligations under or related to Service Contracts or any acts or omissions by you or other Users. Kolabtree is not a party to the dealings between Client and Freelancer, including posts, proposals, screening selection, contracting, and performance of Freelancer Services. Kolabtree does not introduce Freelancers to Clients or help Freelancers find jobs. Kolabtree merely makes the Site Services available to enable Freelancers to identify and determine the suitability of Clients for themselves and to enable Clients to identify and determine the suitability of Freelancers for themselves. Kolabtree does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Freelancer or Freelancer's work. Kolabtree does not set Freelancer's work hours, work schedules, or location of work. Kolabtree will not provide Freelancer with training or any equipment, labor, or materials needed for a particular Service Contract. Kolabtree does not provide the premises at which the Freelancer will perform the work. Kolabtree makes no representations about, and does not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of, the Freelancer Services; the truth or accuracy of Freelancer's listings on the Site; the qualifications, background, or identities of Users; the ability of Freelancers to deliver the Freelancer Services; the ability of Clients to pay for the Freelancer Services; or that a Client or Freelancer can or will actually complete a transaction.

Kolabtree is not required to and may not verify any feedback or information given to us by Freelancers or Clients, nor does Kolabtree perform background checks on Freelancers or Clients.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Kolabtree may provide information about a Freelancer or Client, such as feedback, a strength or risk score, geographical location, or verification of identity or credentials. However, such information is based solely on data that Freelancer or Client submits to Kolabtree, and Kolabtree provides such information solely for the convenience of Users and is not an introduction, endorsement, or recommendation by Kolabtree.

11. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY

Client and Freelancer acknowledge and agree that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site depend on their performance of their covenants and agreements in their Service Contract. Client and Freelancer therefore appoint Kolabtree as a third-party beneficiary of their Service Contracts for purposes of enforcing the obligations owed to, and the benefits conferred on, Kolabtree by the Service Contracts. Client and Freelancer further agree that Kolabtree has the right to take such actions with respect to the Service Contracts or their Accounts, including,

without limitation, suspension, termination, or legal actions, as Kolabtree, in our sole discretion, deems necessary to enforce our rights as a third party beneficiary under the Service Contract.

12. GENERAL

Service Contracts shall be governed by Sections 14 (Confidential Information), 19 (Disputes), 20 (General), and (Definitions) of this Agreement, as applicable, either directly or by way of analogy.

18. TERM, TERMINATION AND CONSEQUENCES

18.1 Term and Termination

Unless both you and Kolabtree agree otherwise in writing, either of us may terminate the contract represented by this Agreement in our sole discretion, at any time, without explanation, upon written notice.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we will notify you if we terminate your Account, unless we believe, in our sole judgment, that giving notice may cause damage. You acknowledge and agree that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site depend on transparency of User's Account status to all Users, including both yourself and other Users who have entered into Service Contracts with you. You therefore agree as follows: IF KOLABTREE SUSPENDS OR TERMINATES YOUR ACCOUNT OR ANY RELATED SERVICE CONTRACTS, KOLABTREE HAS THE RIGHT

BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION TO: (A) NOTIFY OTHER USERS THAT HAVE ENTERED INTO SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH YOU TO INFORM THEM OF YOUR SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED ACCOUNT STATUS, AND (B) PROVIDE THOSE MEMBERS WITH A SUMMARY OF THE REASONS FOR YOUR ACCOUNT SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION.

18.2 Consequences of Termination

Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release you, any User with whom you have entered into a Service Contract, or Kolabtree from any obligations incurred prior to termination of this Agreement or that thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination. Those Site Policies necessary to implement the foregoing survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Without limiting Kolabtree's other remedies, if you engage in actions or activities that circumvent the Site or otherwise reduce fees owed to Kolabtree or our Affiliates under this Agreement, you must pay Kolabtree for all fees owed to Kolabtree and our Affiliates and reimburse Kolabtree for all losses and costs (including any and all time of Kolabtree's employees) and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) related to investigating such breach and collecting such fees.
