You should read all of our terms carefully because you are promising not to break any agreements in the Terms of Service.

If you want to use our work marketplace or any of our services (which we refer to altogether as Services), whether just by looking around or by registering an account, you must first read and agree to this Agreement (including the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions in Section 14). If you don’t understand this Agreement or you don’t agree to all of its terms and conditions, you may not use our Services.

If you are using our Services on behalf of a business or legal entity, you may only do so if you have authority to agree to the Terms of Service on behalf of that business or legal entity.

To make these terms a little easier to understand, we capitalize certain terms and capitalizing them means they have a special meaning. Section 16 provides the definitions of some capitalized terms and others are defined throughout the Terms of Service (look for quotation marks and bold font).

Terms of Use

This document explain the rules that keep our marketplace running.

We call these rules our Terms of Use. They apply to BookMyTalent.tech and all the websites and apps we own or run. (And by we, we mean BookMyTalent and our affiliates, which we may also refer to as us.)

These terms explain how we expect you to behave when you’re using BookMyTalent – whether you’re a registered user or unregistered site visitor on our site.

Please read these rules carefully: by using our site, you’re agreeing to follow them.

1. About licenses and third party content

Here we’ve included the conditions for using our site, which we do our best to keep running smoothly (1.1). That means we have the right to stop people from using our site and services if needed (1.2).

You can’t use our intellectual property (1.3), but you can post your own content to BookMyTalent. You’re responsible for this content (1.4), and equally, we’re not responsible for content you come across from other users (1.5). If you think someone is using something you’ve copyrighted, just let us know (1.6).

1.1 We let you use our site and services

Technically, we’re giving you a ‘limited license’ to the site. Here’s what that means.

We’re happy for you to access our website and services (known as the services). You’re free to have this access (or limited license) as long as you follow these terms of use and all of our other Terms of Service as they apply to you.

We’ll do our best to make sure our services are safe and working as they should, but we can’t guarantee you’ll have access continuously. In fact, we might even stop providing certain features or the services completely, and don’t have to give notice if we do.

1.2 We can stop letting you use our services

We can take away your right to use our services at any time.

If you violate our Terms of Use or other parts of our Terms of Service, we can take away your access to BookMyTalent. Officially, this is called terminating your license, and if it happens, we’ll tell you and you must stop using our services immediately.

1.3 We keep the rights to our intellectual property

Using our services doesn’t mean you can use any of our trademarks or other intellectual property, like copyrights and patents. We keep all of our rights to our intellectual property, even though we let you use our services.

Our logos and names are our trademarks and registered in certain jurisdictions. Any other product or company names, logos or similar marks and symbols you see on BookMyTalent may be trademarked by our partners or other users like you.

1.4 Third parties post on BookMyTalent, too

Anyone else who uses our site is responsible for what they post or link on BookMyTalent.

We’re not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any content shared by other people on our site, unless they’re officially working for us when they share or post the content. Any content represents the views of the person sharing it, not BookMyTalent.

Our site might also contain links or other access to third-party websites and applications. These sites and applications are owned and run by other parties, not BookMyTalent. If we use a link or application that goes to a third-party website, it doesn’t mean that we endorse it and you agree that you use it without our endorsement.

2. What you’re allowed to do on BookMyTalent

You can only use our services for work and to learn from the information we share.

Our site and services were made to be used for business, not for personal or consumer use. We run our marketplace to help users find relevant talents, build working relationships, and make and receive payments for that work.

You can also use some of our services to get information we think might be interesting and useful for our site visitors and users – like our BookMyTalent blog. While we do our best to make sure that this information is timely and accurate, there might sometimes be mistakes. We don’t make any guarantees about information posted on our site, so never use it as tax or legal advice. And you should always double-check the information for yourself.
