You acknowledge and agree that Aevaru Escrow acts merely as an Internet escrow agent. Aevaru Escrow has fully delivered the Escrow Services to you if Aevaru Escrow provides the Escrow Services described in this Agreement and the applicable Escrow Instructions. Aevaru Escrow is only obligated to perform those duties expressly described in this agreement and any applicable Escrow Instructions. If you authorize or instruct Aevaru Escrow to release or make a payment of funds from an Escrow Account associated with you, Aevaru Escrow may release or pay those funds as instructed in reliance on your authorization, this Agreement, and the applicable Escrow Instructions or as required by applicable law.

  6. ESCROW ACCOUNTS
    Aevaru Escrow will use and release funds deposited in an Escrow Account only in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Escrow Instructions. Depending on your needs and the applicable Escrow Instructions, Aevaru Escrow will establish and maintain one of three different types of Escrow Accounts:
    (a) Client Escrow Account. After entering into an agreement for certain services to be performed by a Freelancer and paid by a Client (“Service Contract”), the first time a Client makes a payment for a Project, Aevaru Escrow will establish and maintain a “Client Escrow Account” to hold funds for the Client to use to make payments for Projects, to receive refunds in connection with Projects, and to make payments to Aevaru.
    (b) Freelancer Escrow Account. After entering into a Service Contract, the first time a Freelancer uses the Site to receive payment for a Project, Aevaru Escrow will establish and maintain a “Freelancer Escrow Account” for Freelancer to receive payments for Projects, withdraw payments, make payments to Aevaru and issue refunds to Clients.
  7. FREELANCER APPOINTMENT OF AEVARU ESCROW AND SUBSIDIARIES AS AGENT
    If you are a Freelancer and you request payment related to an Hourly Contract or the release of funds from a Fixed-Price Escrow Account, you hereby appoint Aevaru Escrow and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as your agent to obtain funds on your behalf and credit them to your Freelancer Escrow Account as applicable. Because Aevaru Escrow is Freelancer’s agent, Freelancer must, and hereby does, fully discharge and credit Freelancer’s Client for all payments and releases that Aevaru Escrow receives on Freelancer’s behalf from or on behalf of such Client.

  8. CLIENT PAYMENTS ON SERVICE CONTRACTS
    Hourly Contracts; Freelancer will invoice Client for Freelancer Fees on a weekly basis through Aevaru, and Client will pay invoices consistent with the Hourly Escrow Instructions. When Client approves an Hourly Invoice for an Hourly Contract, Client automatically and irrevocably authorizes and instructs Aevaru Escrow to charge Client’s Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees.
    Fixed-Price Contracts; Client becomes obligated to pay applicable amounts into the Escrow Account immediately upon sending a Fixed-Price Contract offer (for the full amount or for the first milestone, if milestones are used) or upon activating any additional milestone. When Client authorizes the payment of the Freelancer Fees for a Fixed-Price Contract on the Site, Client automatically and irrevocably authorizes and instructs Aevaru Escrow to charge Client’s Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees.
    Client acknowledges and agrees that for both Hourly Contracts and Fixed-Price Contracts, failure by Client to decline or dispute an Hourly Invoice or request for payment is an authorization and instruction to release payment, as described more fully in the applicable Escrow Instructions.

  9. NON-PAYMENT
    If Client is in default, we may, without notice, temporarily or permanently close Client’s Account and revoke Client’s access to the Site and Site Services, including Client’s authority to use the Site to process any additional payments, enter into Service Contracts, or obtain any additional Freelancer Services from other Users through the Site. However, Client will remain responsible for any amounts that accrue on any open Projects at the time a limitation is put on the Client’s Account as a result of the default. Aevaru does not guarantee that Client is able to pay or will pay Freelancer fees and Aevaru is not liable for Freelancer fees if Client is in default. Freelancer may use the dispute process as described in the applicable Escrow Instructions in order to recover funds from Client in the event of a default or may pursue such other remedies against Client as Freelancer chooses. If Aevaru recovers funds from a Client in default pursuant Aevaru will disburse any portion attributable to Freelancer Fees to the applicable Freelancer to the extent not already paid by Client or credited by Aevaru through any Payment Protection program.

  10. PAYMENT METHODS
    In order to use certain Site Services, Client must provide account information for at least one valid Payment Method. Client hereby authorizes Aevaru Escrow, as applicable, to run credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided by Client, to store credit card and banking or other financial details as Client’s method of payment consistent with our Privacy Policy, and to charge Client’s credit card (or any other Payment Method) for the Freelancer Fees and any other amounts owed under the Terms of Service. To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to our Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and agree that we may use certain third-party vendors and service providers to process payments and manage your Payment Method information.
    By providing Payment Method information through the Site and authorizing payments with the Payment Method, Client represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Client is legally authorized to provide such information; (b) Client is legally authorized to make payments using the Payment Method(s); (c) if Client is an employee or agent of a company or person that owns the Payment Method, that Client is authorized by the company or person to use the Payment Method to make payments on Aevaru; and (d) such actions do not violate the terms and conditions applicable to Client’s use of such Payment Method(s) or applicable law. When Client authorizes a payment using a Payment Method via the Site, Client represents and warrants that there are sufficient funds or credit available to complete the payment using the designated Payment Method. To the extent that any amounts owed under this Agreement or the other Terms of Service cannot be collected from Client’s Payment Method(s), Client is solely responsible for paying such amounts by other means. Aevaru is not liable to any User if Aevaru does not complete a transaction as a result of any limit by applicable law or your financial institution, or if a financial institution fails to honor any credit or debit to or from an account associated with such Payment Method. Aevaru will make commercially reasonable efforts to work with any such affected Users to resolve such transactions in a manner consistent with this Agreement and any applicable Escrow Instructions.

  11. COMMUNICATING THROUGH THE SITE; NOT SHARING CONTACT DETAILS
    Without Aevaru, most often, your services can not be found. Therefore, we ask that everyone who uses Aevaru keep their communication and services on-platform.
