Some of the content provided at Sgfreelance.com.sg may relate to various subjects such as information pertaining to legal matters, financial matters, health matters, and

Users should use their own efforts to confirm such information with a professional(s) in the pertinent field(s). All of the information that Sgfreelance.com.sg provides should
not be considered professional, medical, legal, technical, or any other discipline-specific advice.
Sgfreelance.com.sg is a dynamic time-sensitive web site. As such, the information on Sgfreelance.com.sg will be changed frequently. It is possible that some information
could be considered offensive, harmful, or inaccurate, and in some cases may be mislabeled or deceptively labeled accidentally by Sgfreelance.com.sg or accidentally or
purposefully by a third-party, regardless of whether such third parties are with or without a legitimate business purpose.
Sgfreelance.com.sg provides unmonitored access to third-party content. Sgfreelance.com.sg is only acting as a venue and/or portal, and has no liability based on, or related
to, the third-party content on this Site, whether arising under the laws of copyright or other intellectual property, defamation, libel, privacy, obscenity, or any other legal
discipline. This web site may contain links to third-party web sites. Sgfreelance.com.sg does not control nor always review the web sites to which we link from
Sgfreelance.com.sg. We, therefore, cannot endorse the content, products, services, practices, policies, or performance of the web sites we link to from
Sgfreelance.com.sg, and Users should not treat any link as such an endorsement or acceptance of veracity or value.
Sgfreelance.com.sg does not have the resources to nor does it undertake any obligation to, control, research, verify, validate, or approve the content that is received or
viewed on its web site. We expect that the User will undertake necessary activities and practices and will use caution and common sense when using Sgfreelance.com.sg
for User's account.
REFERRAL COMMISSIONS
The referral commission paid out will be the one listed on the Referrals page. You may not refer yourself, nor sign up for multiple accounts to collect referral fees. You may
also not partner with any other Sgfreelance.com.sg user to share/transfer the commission made from your own account, or else both parties will be kicked from the service
without payment. Sgfreelance.com.sg reserves the right to delay or cancel sending affiliate earnings if we believe the referred user will not pay the fees they were charged,
since affiliate commissions are based on those fees.
PAYMENTS
Sgfreelance.com.sg will typically print and mail cheques if the member requests it AND their account balance is equal to or greater than $30. This also applies to payments
made through the PayPal service. All amounts are stated in and all payments will be made in US funds. Sgfreelance.com.sg 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 creditcard) will be reversed immediately.
If in a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal has already been processed, you will be expected to return the funds to your Sgfreelance.com.sg account or face account
termination.
As previously stated, any member site that Sgfreelance.com.sg removes from the service due to violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no credit or payment.
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
Members agree not to post their e-mail address on the site, except in the "e-mail" field of the signup form, or when asked by Sgfreelance.com.sg at any other time. There
should be no need to give anyone your e-mail address. It is automatically provided if you choose a Service Provider (or you are the Service Provider 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.
PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION
You are prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless it's for a project you (a Service Provider) have been picked for, or you (a Service Buyer) have
picked a Service Provider for. This includes giving out your e-mail address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of contact outside of this site.
Sgfreelance.com.sg provides you with message boards, which should be sufficient for pre-project planning. The only exception to this is on "Featured" projects. If a project
has the "Featured" graphic on it, that means the Service Buyer has paid a flat fee in advance, and you ARE allowed to provide contact information in the message board.
AVOIDING COMMISSIONS
You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a project with another member directly (outside of Sgfreelance.com.sg) after that project has been
created/opened and before that project has been closed (basically, during an ongoing project). But this also applies to any project that was closed without a Service Provider
being chosen, and then contacting them about the project anyway. Both parties are responsible for notifying Sgfreelance.com.sg 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.
When a Service Provider 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 Service Provider has failed to notify Sgfreelance.com.sg staff of a payment received above the amount of his bid (a total payment above US$100),
Sgfreelance.com.sg 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 this activity on
Sgfreelance.com.sg.
