PAYMENTS, OFFERED SERVICES, DEPLOYMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGAGEMENT ARE
SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER AND THE PROFESSIONAL, AND
PRIVATE.COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF ANY SORT OF
MISHAPS, LOSS OF CAPITAL OR MONIES, DETRIMENT IN FINANCES, WRONG ACTIVITIES

PROJECTS AND JOBS PERFORMED THROUGH THE SERVICES PROVIDED ON THE
WEBSITE. THEREFORE, EMPLOYERS AND PROFESSIONALS SHALL IN THE EVENT OF A
DISPUTE WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS OF ANY CLAIMS AGAINST PRIVATE.COMPANY.

The following rules of disputes and arbitration exist to ensure Employers and Professionals
a fair and safe environment for the buying and selling of services on PRIVATE.COMPANY.
Should a dispute arise over the duration or completion of a project, the allocation of funds,
or any other issue, both Employers and Professionals agree to the following rules:

1) Should the Employer and Professional not be able to come to agreement on acceptance,
finalization, whether deliverables have been met according to what is stipulated on the
project posts as well as on the bids and proposals, and even on what was agreed on
through the message system, or any other matter of controversy, both sides hereby agree
to designate PRIVATE.COMPANY as mediator to attempt to resolve any disagreements
between the disputing parties. PRIVATE.COMPANY agrees to mediate fairly and impartially
according to the rules in this section, as they apply. We suggest and insist that any final
opinion on matters of dispute done by PRIVATE.COMPANY as a moderator be binding
between the parties, and Employers and Professionals agree on this.

2) PRIVATE.COMPANY will take 10 business days as to hear out the parties, and revise any
files and messaging done whilst developing the job or project through PRIVATE.COMPANY;
after of which PRIVATE.COMPANY shall give an opinion and suggest a solution for both
parties, depending on fault assignation or a neutral opinion.

3) If the matter of dispute remains to be unsolved all parties agree that all disputes, claims
and controversies remaining shall be determined in arbitration. The arbitration will be
governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, AAA Rules) of the American Arbitration
Association (AAA), and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available
online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice
Address. All costs deriving of the filing, arbitration procedures, as well as legal fees, and
other expenses related to the arbitration, are to be paid by the Employer and the
Professional equally.

Whenever a party fails to communicate within 3 days with a claiming party, and does also
not respond to any message of any kind from PRIVATE.COMPANY or its agents and staff,
PRIVATE.COMPANY will interpret in good faith that the unresponsive party has forfeited
their position in the claim, and may proceed to act in favor of the remaining active party.
Whenever you use the services provided on PRIVATE.COMPANY, you agree to our Dispute
guidelines and solutions, and you waive all claims against PRIVATE.COMPANY for any
unresolved disputes or due to actions of PRIVATE.COMPANY attempting to solve disputes,
within these Terms.
