These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Provedwork, including freelancer profiles, project listings, reviews, verification features, and paid services. By using Provedwork, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
1. Who operates Provedwork
Provedwork is operated by Bavly Albeir, located at [business address]. Contact us at [support email].
Replace these placeholders before publishing the Terms.
2. What Provedwork does
Provedwork provides tools for freelancers to create professional profiles, showcase projects, display reviews, and share information about their work and reputation. Features may include public profiles, portfolio links, reputation information, link-based evidence review, verification labels, and free or paid features.
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features subject to applicable law and any contractual commitments we have made.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use Provedwork. The service is intended for adults. You agree to provide accurate information, protect your account, and notify us of suspected unauthorized access.
We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate suspected abuse, or meet legal obligations.
4. Profiles and publication
You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge, not misleading, and lawful to share. Public profiles may be visible without signing in and may be indexed or copied by third parties.
You must not:
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, qualifications, clients, or achievements.
- Publish projects or work history that you fabricated or do not have the right to display.
- Share private, confidential, or personal information without appropriate authorization.
- Use intellectual property belonging to others without permission or another valid legal basis.
- Publish unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, or otherwise prohibited content.
Where publication controls are available, you are responsible for reviewing your settings. We may restrict or remove content in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.
5. Projects and external links
You may add projects and links that describe your professional work. You represent that you have the rights and permissions required to submit and display them. Do not disclose trade secrets, client confidential information, or restricted material without authorization.
External websites are not controlled by Provedwork. We do not guarantee their accuracy, availability, safety, or practices.
6. Reviews
Reviews must be based on genuine professional experiences or interactions relevant to the freelancer being reviewed. Reviewers must not fabricate transactions, impersonate clients, or submit reviews without authorization.
Users must not:
- Buy, sell, fabricate, or coordinate deceptive reviews or ratings.
- Threaten or harass reviewers or retaliate against someone for a good-faith complaint.
- Use reviews to disclose confidential information or personal data they are not authorized to share.
- Manipulate reputation information through fake accounts or misleading activity.
Provedwork intends to manually review submitted reviews before publication. We may request clarification, reject, restrict, flag, or remove content when we reasonably believe it violates these Terms or applicable law.
Manual moderation does not mean that every statement has been independently proven true. We may not be able to verify every underlying transaction or allegation. Define the reporting, response, correction, and appeal process before launch.
7. Verification and reputation labels
Provedwork may review links to public projects, professional profiles, or other online sources to assess particular claims. A verification label reflects only the scope of the checks actually performed under the relevant Provedwork process.
Verification is not a guarantee of identity, competence, honesty, future performance, or suitability for a job. An accessible link or third-party profile does not automatically prove every claim made by a freelancer.
Verification outcomes may be limited by unavailable sources, incomplete information, or conflicting evidence. We may update or withdraw a label when appropriate. Users should make their own assessments before entering into professional or financial arrangements.
8. Reports and disputes
If you believe a profile, project, review, or verification label is inaccurate, misleading, unlawful, or violates these Terms, contact [support email] and include the relevant link, a description of the issue, and supporting information.
We may request further information, restrict content where appropriate, contact relevant parties, or take other reasonable action. Establish a clear process for review disputes, impersonation, privacy complaints, and appeals before launch.
9. Paid features, billing, and refunds
Provedwork may offer free and paid features. Prices, feature limits, billing intervals, taxes, and material conditions will be disclosed before purchase.
If recurring subscriptions are introduced, checkout must clearly explain the price, billing frequency, renewal terms, cancellation method, and any trial conditions. Cancellation may stop future renewals without automatically refunding a previous payment, subject to mandatory rights and any refund promise made at purchase.
Before accepting payments, specify your payment provider, currency, taxes, renewal and cancellation rules, refund procedure, and failed payment handling. This section must match the actual billing model.
10. Prohibited conduct
- Creating fake accounts or misrepresenting your identity.
- Submitting fraudulent reviews, fabricated projects, or deceptive evidence.
- Harassing, threatening, or unlawfully targeting other users.
- Accessing accounts, data, or systems without authorization.
- Interfering with the security or availability of Provedwork.
- Scraping or reusing personal data or platform content in violation of law, these Terms, or third-party rights.
- Circumventing technical safeguards or using Provedwork for unlawful activity.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit conduct protected by applicable law.
11. Intellectual property
Provedwork and its original branding, website design, software, and other materials are owned by or licensed to Provedwork, subject to third-party rights. You may not exploit those materials except as permitted by law or with appropriate authorization.
You retain ownership of content you lawfully own and submit. You grant Provedwork a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, format, reproduce, and display that content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and provide the service.
The scope and duration of this license, including promotional uses and post-deletion handling, should be reviewed by counsel before publication.
12. Third-party services
Provedwork may rely on or link to third-party websites and services, including authentication, hosting, and payment providers. Those services may be governed by their own terms and policies. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using them.
13. Suspension and termination
You may stop using Provedwork and request account deletion through [account settings or support email]. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users or the service, investigate suspected fraud, comply with law, or address material security risks.
Where appropriate and legally permitted, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Deletion may not immediately remove third-party copies, and some records may need to be retained where legally required or reasonably necessary to resolve disputes.
14. Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, Provedwork is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, the accuracy of every profile or review, or any particular professional outcome.
Provedwork is a reputation and portfolio tool. It is not an employment agency, professional licensing authority, or guarantee of a freelancer's performance. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Provedwork will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service, including losses resulting from reliance on user-submitted profiles, reviews, external links, or verification labels.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law. Any liability cap or jurisdiction-specific wording must be reviewed by a lawyer.
16. Governing law and disputes
Proposed governing law: [confirm with legal counsel]. The appropriate governing law and dispute-resolution wording depend on the operating entity and the markets served. No clause in these Terms is intended to remove mandatory consumer protections or access to competent courts.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the service, our business, or applicable law. We will update the “Last updated” date and provide notice of material changes where appropriate or required. Where law requires consent to a change, we will obtain it before applying the change to you.
