  1. Service Overview

1.1.     Our mission is to secure the right for people to work free from bias and discrimination. The Service is for businesses that wish to appoint a pseudonymous talent for their work (“Client”) and talents who wish to accept such offer from the businesses while maintaining their anonymity (each, a “Talent”). You will use the Service either as a Client or as a Talent. In the Service, the Client outsources the work for which the Client wishes to appoint the Talent (the “Work”) to us, and we sub-contract such Work to the Talent. In that way, the Client can indirectly outsource the Work to the Talent via us while the Talent remains pseudonymous. As provided in a separate privacy policy, we will not access the Talent’s personal information or disclose it to the Client or any other third party in our ordinary course of business. Hereinafter, the Client, the Talent, and Knot are individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

1.2.     Any terms and conditions of the outsourcing of the Work (including, without limitation, the services to be rendered and deliverables to be delivered) (the “Outsourcing Terms”) will be determined and agreed upon between the Client and the Talent, and all instructions and other communications regarding the Work will be made directly between the Client and the Talent.

1.3.     Upon confirmation of completion of the Work, the Client will pay the fee for the Work (the “Outsourcing Fee”) to us, and we will then pay the same amount to the Talent. We will separately charge the Client a fee for the use of the Service as described on the Site, which shall be subject to change from time to time at our discretion (the “Service Fee”).

  1. Eligibility and Representations.

2.1.     Representations by Client.  If you are a Client, you must meet the following criteria, and, by using the Service, you represent and warrant to us and the Talent that:

2.2.     Representations by Talent.  If you are a Talent, you must meet the following criteria, and, by using the Service, you represent and warrant to us and the Client that:

[Notwithstanding anythink in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, no Talent shall be required to make representations and warranties provided above if and only if such Talent uses the Service to (i) sign up and (ii) create his/her Profile.] 2.3.     Breach of Representations and Warranties.  In the event that you become unable to meet any of the criteria set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.2, as applicable, you shall immediately notify the other Parties thereof, stop using the Service, and provide compensation for any damages and losses incurred by the other Parties in relation thereto.
