By accepting these Terms of Use, you also agree that your use of all Sites and apps powered by JobJar will be governed by these JobJar Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

JobJar reserves the right to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Site, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment needed for access or use, at any time. JobJar has the right to change or modify the terms and conditions in this Agreement, or to impose new conditions, including, but not limited to, adding or changing fees and charges for use at any time.

1 Membership Eligibility. Our services are only available to, and may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended JobJar members. If you are a under the age of 18, you can use this service only in conjunction with, and under the supervision of your parents or guardians. If you do not qualify, please do not use our Site and/or Application (app). 

2 Fees and Services. Submitting a job (an "Offeror") and bidding on jobs (a "Tradesman") using the JobJar Site requires a Visa and/or MasterCard payment. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted on the Site in the currency of your country of origin. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using JobJar's service and all applicable taxes. For their fee, a Tradesman becomes a member of JobJar and is entitled to submit bids so long as the membership remains current and in good standing. For their fee, an Offeror is entitled to develop a request for bids and submit it for bid, revise it and ultimately, accept a bid. No Returns. All sales are final

3 JobJar is a Venue. JobJar's role is to facilitate introductions between Offerors and Tradesmen. We are not a party to or otherwise involved in the actual transaction between Offerors and Tradesmen, and, as such, we have no control over (and do not warrant) the accuracy, quality, safety or legality of the requests for bids or the bids. In addition, JobJar cannot ensure that either an Offeror or a Tradesman will actually complete a transaction. 

3.1 Identity Verification. We use many techniques to endeavor to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site and/or Application (app). However, because user verification on the Internet is imprecise at best, JobJar cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. 

3.2 Release. Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you agree to and do hereby covenant to release JobJar (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual, incidental and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

3.3 Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe disclosure and information practices when using the Site and/or Application (app). Please note that there are also risks of dealing with people acting under false pretence. By using this Site and/or Application (app), you agree to accept such risks. JobJar shall not be held responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the Site and/or Application (app).

4 Requests for Bids. As an Offeror, you will interact with the Site to develop a reasonable description of the work to be performed and will finalize a "Request for Bid" to be made available for viewing by Tradesmen. 

4.1 In order to submit Request for Bid, you must first join JobJar, which involves delivering certain personal information and entering your credit card information. JobJar will validate the credit card and upon confirmation of validity will authorize your Request for Bid.

4.2 Once you post your Request for Bid, you are still permitted to change it. However, in doing so you create the possibility of Tradesmen submitting Bids on Requests that are out-of-date. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to ensure your Request for Bid is accurate and complete prior to posting it.

5. Submitting a Bid. As a Tradesman, you will become a member which will allow you to review the Requests for Bid that are posted on the Site. By submitting a bid, you represent and warrant to the Offeror that you are qualified to perform the services described in the Request for Bid. Depending upon the services sought, you may be required to possess a license, professional certification or certain types of insurance or bonding.

5.1 In order to submit a Bid, you must first join JobJar, which involves delivering certain personal information and entering your credit card information. JobJar will validate the credit card and upon confirmation of validity will authorize you to submit a Bid.

5.2 Once you post your Bid, you are not permitted to change it, unless the Offeror changes the Request for Bid (i.e., changes the description of the services sought). Changing a Bid for services that conform to the Request for Bid is grounds for suspension from JobJar membership and, if repeated, grounds for termination. In the event it is reported to us that you revoked a Bid that was in response to a conforming Request for Bid, we will contact you to determine whether suspension, termination or no action is required under the facts presented. Our decision in such a case is absolutely within our sole discretion. 

6. Completing the Transaction. As an Offeror or Tradesman, you are obligated to complete the transaction with your counterpart once you have reached agreement on the bid. It is possible that circumstances will require that the parties negotiate revisions to the scope of work once both the Offeror and Tradesman are physically present on the scene where the services are to be performed. In such case, you agree to deal in good faith during the negotiations to resolve the precise terms of the services and the compensation for the services. JobJar assumes no responsibility for the performance of the services or the payment of the amount agreed between the parties.
