Website and Platform Terms of Use

Welcome to FairComp! Please read these Website and Platform Terms of Use (these "Terms") carefully. These Terms are between you and Continuum Technology Inc. DBA FairComp ("we," "us," "our " or "FairComp").

FairComp offers a proprietary marketplace (the "Platform") which connects consultants (each, a "Consultant") and companies, businesses and entrepreneurs (each, a "Business") for engagements to provide professional, consultative and advisory services (collectively, "Project Services"). The Platform is offered through our websites, faircomp.io and app.faircomp.io (together with any additional or successor websites, "Website"). We'll collectively refer to the Platform, the Website, and any content, functionality, materials and services available or offered on or through the Platform or the Website as the "Service".

If you're using the Platform as a Consultant or a Business, you'll also review and accept separate terms with us (the " Consultant Contract" or the "Business Contract"). If there's a conflict between these Terms and the Consultant Contract or the Business Contract, the Consultant Contract or the Business Contract (as applicable) will control to the extent of the conflict.

By accessing or using the Service, by creating an account on the Platform, and/or by accepting the Consultant Contract or the Business Contract, you agree to be bound by these Terms. By using the Service, you affirm that you are capable of entering into these Terms. If you are an individual accessing or using the Service on behalf of an entity, then you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of yourself and such entity, and you represent and warrant that you have full power and authority to enter into these Terms and bind that entity. References to "you" and "your" in these Terms will refer to both the individual using the Service and to any such entity.

  1. Changes. We may change these Terms from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting revised Terms on the Website. Your use of the Service following any changes to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The "Last Updated" legend below indicates when these Terms were last changed.

We may limit the Service's availability at any time, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose. If you are an individual, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to the United States government embargo, or that has been designated by the United States government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  4. Monitoring. We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, suspend or remove your access to or use of the Service at any time. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to edit, remove or disable access to any content, at any time and without notice, including, but not limited to, if we, at our sole discretion, consider it objectionable or in violation of these Terms. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms or conduct that affects the Service. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law. If you have a Platform account, you are responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential, and you will immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your accounts.
