Acceptance & Acknowledgment of this Agreement 

Your access to, use of, or participation in this Program (as defined below) is subject to this Independent  Service Provider Agreement (“Agreement”) and all applicable Quinable regulations, guidelines, and  agreements. This Agreement and the Quinable Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated herein,  constitute a legally-binding contract between you (or the company you represent) and Quinable, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quinable ”).

Method of Performing Services

Contractor will determine the method, details, and means of performing the above-described services, including the determination of the need for and hiring of assistants at the Contractor’s own expense. The Corporation may not control, direct or otherwise supervise Contractor’s assistants or employees in the performance of those services.

Under no circumstances are you considered an employee of Quinable. Your use of this App is at your own risk and sole discretion. Quinable does not control your time, your shifts or your rate of pay. Nor does Quinable dictate how you perform your work. 

All references to “you” or “your,” as applicable, mean the person who accesses, uses, and/or participates in the Program in any manner. If you use the Program on behalf of a company, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company, your acceptance of the  Agreement will be deemed an acceptance by that company, and “you” or “your” shall herein refer to  that company.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with respect to the performance of services by Contractor for Corporation and contains all of the covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to the rendering of such services in any manner whatsoever. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement, or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party to be charged.

This Agreement shall be effective on the date accepted by you when you download the app and continue until either the customer  (as defined below) has chosen a different service provider for his or her Shift or, if the customer chooses you to perform work, until all of your obligations to the customer and to Quinable with  respect to the Shift are fulfilled. Quinable reserves the right to immediately terminate this  Agreement for any reason at any time. 

1. Modifications to this Agreement or Privacy Policy

Quinable reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to change, modify, or otherwise  amend this Agreement and any other documents incorporated herein by reference. Quinable will post  the amended Agreement on its website in the same location where the prior Agreement was posted— i.e., where it is presented to you before you accept the Shift (as defined below). It is your responsibility  to review the Agreement for any changes. Your continued use of the Program will signify your assent to,  and acceptance of, the amended Agreement. If you do not agree to abide by this or any amended  Agreement, you are prohibited from participating in the Program. 

2. Description of the Program

The Independent Program is intended to provide a quick and easy way for users visiting Quinable’s website, mobile application, or platform  (“Customers”) to find a service provider who is interested in accepting a work shift (the “Program”). The goal is to connect these Customers with qualified service providers who will quickly communicate with the Customer their availability and acceptance of the shift should the Customer select them to perform the work. 

3. Your Bid Fee and Billing Authorization

In order for you to participate in the Program, you will be required to register, create a profile, upload any necessary credentials you may have, state your desired  rate on selected shifts that interest you and complete the work shift.  Quinable reserves the right to change the process from time to time, but the various work and work information will be presented to you before you determine that you would like to bid on the shift. Your access to the shifts shall be automatically renewed upon the terms set forth below, unless you cancel your participation in the Program as provided below. 

4. How the Program Works

Here is a description about how the Program will work: 

1.  Customer Submits Work Order Shift through Quinable Platform. A Customer will submit a proposed  shift for work related services (“Shift”) through the Quinable Customer Admin Website, mobile application, or other Quinable tools or platform (“Platform”). 
2. Quinable displays Work Order to Eligible Service Providers. Quinable will display basic information, including Customer’s location and the description of the Customer’s Shift (the “Listing”), and display the work orders on its Platform to a group of eligible service providers that perform the type of services described in the work order in the area in which the Service Provider is located. 
3. Your decision to Bid on Listing Work Order from Customer shift posting. The shift order display listings will indicate the Customers Work Order. It’s your decision as to whether you want to bid on the shift. You may bid on as many or as few or none of the work orders listed. You control the decision and choice as to when you work, where you work and for the amount you are willing to work for from your bid you post to the work order platform.
4. Bidding on a selected work order does not guarantee that the Customer will select you for the Work Order Shift (Shift), decide to pursue the Shift, or pursue the Shift as described in the Listing. The Listing is an opportunity to connect with a Customer who, at the time, is looking for a service provider to complete a Shift. The Listing is not guaranteed work. Other than providing you with the Customer Details, the work order for you to bid on,  you acknowledge that Quinable  bears no responsibility with respect to the Customer, the Shift, or any related transaction. 
5. Work Orders will remain active until either: (1) Quinable  receives a sufficient number of  responses from service providers; or (2) the work order has been filled; (3) the Customer chooses to close the work order; (4) or the work order has expired as the scheduled start time of the sift has passed.  
6. The  Listing is not guaranteed work. Other than providing you with the Customer Details, Work Order Listing, you acknowledge that Quinable bears no responsibility with respect to the Customer, the Shift, or any related transaction. There is a possibility that you may experience a loss in revenue from using the Quinable Platform to find work.
7. Quinable will display your Bid Quote and contact information to the Customer. If you: (1)  meet the Eligibility Requirements set forth under Section 6; (2) receive the communication containing the Work Order Listing; (3) are interested in the Shift; and (4) are one of  the service providers that Bid on the Work Order shift, Quinable  will provide you with the Customer Details and send your name, contact information, and bid quote to the Customer. The exact number of service providers who will receive the Customer Details may vary, in Quinable ’s sole discretion. If the Customer selects you, the Quinable Platform as well as the Customer may contact you and it will be your responsibility to communicate with the customer, enter into service with the customer by confirming your acceptance of the Work Order, and meeting the customer’s expectations.
