Bidding and payments shall occur as described on the Mob4Hire.com web site and all fees and payments will be made in accordance with Mob4Hire.com's then current fee schedule posted on Mob4Hire web site.
However, unless otherwise agreed to by Mob4Hire expressly in writing, the following is the basic process that shall be followed:
All amounts are stated in and all payments will be made in US funds.
Any member that Mob4Hire.com removes from the service due to violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no credit or payment whatsoever.
Each member can maintain a "Credit Account" with Mob4Hire. All money's paid by a member to Mob4Hire (with the exception of Mob4Hire's commissions and any applicable PayPal fees or other applicable fees, charges and taxes) and all moneys payable by Mob4Hire to a Tester (once the test report is accepted by the Developer) will be put towards the member's Credit Account that is maintained by Mob4Hire.
Mob4Hire.com will only send and receive payments through the PayPal or Payoneer services, unless another method is determined by Mob4Hire to be appropriate in the circumstances (in its sole discretion).
All payments that are due and owing by a Developer to a Tester will be made by Mob4Hire deducting such amount from the Developer's Credit Account and adding it to the Tester's Credit Account.
A Member may at any time request a withdrawal from such member's Credit Account; provided that the amount be requested is equal to or greater than $US50. The withdrawal of funds by a member will be completed by Mob4hire bi-monthly, on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month. Mob4hire will only transfer money to Credit Account members on written request using the process established by Mob4Hire.
Mob4Hire.com reserves the right to suspend a withdrawal if the source of the funds is suspected to be fraudulent. Any funds received from an account having made a fraudulent deposit (e.g. stolen credit card) will be reversed immediately. If in a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal has already been processed, you will be expected to immediately return the funds to your Mob4Hire.com account or face account termination.
If a member's Credit Account is inactive for over one year (i.e., no deposits or withdrawals are made) the member may at any time be notified by Mob4Hire that the member's account is inactive and Mob4Hire shall be entitled to elect to refund the balance of the Credit Account less Mob4Hire's administration fees, close-out fees and any PayPal fees or other applicable fees and charges. The refund shall be made by Mob4Hire via PayPal or such other method as Mob4Hire determines is appropriate in the circumstances (in its sole discretion).
Members agree not to post their e-mail address or any other contact information on the site, except in the "e-mail" field of the signup form, or when asked by Mob4Hire.com at any other time. There should be no need to give anyone your e-mail address or any other contact information. It is automatically provided if you choose a Tester (or you are the Tester chosen for) a project, and before that time you can use the message board to communicate. This does not only apply to e-mail addresses, but to all methods of communication, including phone, ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc... See "Avoiding Commissions" below for the reason.
You are prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless it is for a project you (a Tester) have been picked for, or you (a Mobile Application Developer) have picked a Tester for. This includes giving out your e-mail address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of contact outside of this site. Mob4Hire.com provides you with message boards, which should be sufficient for pre-project planning.
You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a project with another member directly (outside of Mob4Hire.com): (1) when the initial contact between the members was through Mob4Hire.com, (2) after a project has been created/opened and before that project has been closed (basically, during an ongoing project); and (3) for any project that was closed without a Tester being chosen but then a Tester is chosen outside of Mob4Hire.com. If such a prohibited activity is undertaken then all members involved shall be jointly and severally liable to pay to Mob4Hire double the Mob4Hire commission that should have been paid to Mob4Hire in relation to each such project and, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Mob4Hire, Mob4Hire shall be entitled to deduct such amount from the involved members Credit Accounts until the full amount owing is paid to Mob4Hire.
In addition, both parties are responsible for notifying Mob4Hire.com if the payment amount increases (above the bid amount) after the project is closed. Receiving a larger amount than the original project bid, without notifying us, will be considered an attempt to avoid the commissions. Again, if such a prohibited activity is undertaken then all members involved shall be jointly and severally liable to pay to Mob4Hire double the Mob4Hire commission that should have been paid to Mob4Hire in relation to each such project and, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Mob4Hire, Mob4Hire shall be entitled to deduct such amount from the involved members Credit Accounts until the full amount owing is paid to Mob4Hire.
When a Tester requests a withdrawal, we always review all payments received for each project to verify that they match the bid. If at the time of a withdrawal request the Tester has failed to notify Mob4Hire.com staff of a payment received above the amount of his bid, Mob4Hire.com reserves the right to deduct double the fee for the amount that should have been reported.
We believe our commissions are very fair and justified for the service we provide, therefore we will absolutely not tolerate any of these types of activities on Mob4Hire.com.
