Each User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Umify.io and its employees, officers, directors and agents for losses, including attorney fees and costs, resulting from any use or attempted use of the Escrow Services in violation of the Umify.io Terms of Service, including but not limited to any use or attempted use of the Escrow Services for a Prohibited Transaction.
6. Rejection of Payment. Since the use of a bank account, credit card or debit card account, or the making of an electronic funds transfer may be limited by your agreement with your financial institution and/or by applicable law, Umify.io is not liable to any User if Umify.io does not complete a Transaction or any act relating thereto, as a result of any such limit, or if a financial institution fails to honor any credit or debit to or from an Account. Umify.io may post operating rules or terms and conditions related to payment on the Site and change such rules from time to time.
7. General Conditions of Use. If you arrive at the Site through entities linked and/or integrated with Umify.io or otherwise by or through a third party (e.g., an auction, exchange, or Internet-based intermediary that hosts electronic marketplaces and mediates transactions among businesses), then you authorize such third party to transfer relevant data to Umify.io to facilitate the Transaction. You represent and warrant that all information you provide to Umify.io or to such third party will be true, accurate and complete. You further understand and agree that you are obligated to provide timely updates to Umify.io if there are any material changes to such information prior to the completion of a Transaction. The party entering into these Terms on behalf of any User represents and warrants that he/she is authorized to do so and to bind the User and is a natural person of at least eighteen (18) years of age and, if the User is represented to be a business entity, trust or other legal entity or organization, the User represents and warrants that such User is legally existing and in good standing, and is recognized as such by the governing authority at the address registered by the User on our Site. To initiate and commence a Transaction or use the Escrow Services, a User must register for an Account on our Site. You must complete the Escrow Services application form and submit it by following the instructions on the Site.
Upon completion and receipt of the service application and related forms, including the acceptance of the Umify.io Terms of Service, we will accept or reject your application at our discretion.
8. Obligations of Freelancers. On the Transaction Detail Screens, each Freelancer to an Underlying Transaction must designate an Account to which payment for the Transaction will be made. Each Freelancer authorizes Umify.io and its authorized representatives and service providers to initiate credit entries to such Freelancer's Account for payment of the purchase price, or applicable balance due, and to debit Freelancer's Account to discharge Freelancer's obligations. Each Freelancer in an Underlying Transaction shall deliver the items set forth in Transaction Detail Screens directly to the Client (or Clients), at the address specified by such Client as shown on the Site and set forth in the Transaction Instructions and Supplemental Instructions. Freelancer shall use a delivery service that provides a confirmation of delivery and Freelancer shall provide Umify.io with a tracking or reference number for the shipment of the goods. Freelancer gives Umify.io permission to act as its agent in communicating with the shipping company regarding the notice of the delivery of the goods. Freelancer must provide or cause notice to be sent to Umify.io when Freelancer ships the Merchandise. In the event Umify.io does not receive notice of shipment from Freelancer within ten (10) calendar days after Freelancer is required to ship the Merchandise, Freelancer authorizes Umify.io to return the Escrowed Funds (excluding Umify.io fees) to Client. In the event of a return of the Merchandise by Client, Freelancer shall notify Umify.io of the receipt of the returned items. Upon Umify.io’s receipt of the notice of returned Merchandise from Freelancer, the Freelancer's five (5) day inspection period shall commence. In the event Freelancer accepts the returned Merchandise within the inspection period or fails to act within the inspection period, Umify.io shall remit the Escrowed Funds (excluding Umify.io fees) to Client. If Freelancer notifies Umify.io of its non-acceptance of any returned Merchandise within the Freelancer's inspection period, then Umify.io will retain the Escrow Funds pending resolution of the dispute or take other action as authorized or as required by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if all Underlying Parties to an Underlying Transaction agree on the Transaction Detail Screens that there is no shipping required, then no party hereto will have any obligation under these Terms with respect to shipping.
9. Obligations of Clients. On the Transaction Detail Screens, Client must designate a payment mechanism and an Account from which the purchase price and related fees (unless such fees are to be paid by Freelancer) will be obtained for the deposit into escrow. Depending on the amount of the Underlying Transaction and the currency selected for the Underlying Transaction, Client may remit the necessary funds via various methods, which may include credit card, charge card, debit card or purchasing card, check (cheque), cashier's check, money order, or wire transfer. In the case of wire transfers, Client will initiate the wire to an account designated by Umify.io on or before the date set forth in the Transaction Detail Screens. Regardless of the payment method, Client authorizes Umify.io and its authorized representatives and service providers to initiate credit or debit transactions, as applicable, to obtain the purchase price and fees due for an Underlying Transaction and to initiate any debit or credit entries or reversals, as the case may be, as may be necessary to correct any error in a payment or transfer and to discharge Client's obligations under the Umify.io Terms of Service. Umify.io will deposit funds received from Client into an escrow trust account maintained by Umify.io or its Affiliates (the "Escrow Account"). Unless otherwise requested as specified in the following sentence, escrowed deposits do not earn interest for Client or Freelancer. Client shall notify Umify.io of the receipt or non-receipt of the items on the date the merchandise is received, or the Client Inspection Period is started. Client shall notify Umify.io of the Client's acceptance or rejection of the items before the Client's Inspection Period expires. Upon receipt of notice from Client that the items have been received and accepted, Umify.io shall transfer the payment amount (less any amount payable to Umify.io for Umify.io fees) to Freelancer's Account. Transfer to a Freelancer generally will be initiated within the next business day from the day on which notice of acceptance of the Merchandise or Freelancer Services is received from the Client. If Client has not notified Umify.io of the non-receipt or rejection of the items during the Client's Inspection Period, then Client authorizes Umify.io to remit the Escrowed Funds (excluding Umify.io fees) to the Freelancer. Client shall follow the procedures set forth on the Site in the event the items are rejected.
10. Obligations of Brokers. Each Broker must register on the Site. On the Transaction Detail Screens, each Broker to a Transaction must designate a payment mechanism and an Account to which the Broker Fee payment will be made.

Each Broker in a Transaction shall provide Client email, Freelancer email, and Underlying Transaction details including purchase price, Merchandise or Freelancer Services description, inspection period and which party is responsible for the Broker and Escrow fees. If you are a Broker, you represent and warrant that you are properly authorized by all Underlying Parties to act as a Broker with respect to each Underlying Transaction. Umify.io has the right, at its discretion, to verify that each Broker is properly authorized by the Underlying Parties, but is under no obligation to do so and You hereby agree that you may not rely on Umify.io to verify that a Broker is fully authorized.

Umify.io is not expected to verify or guarantee representations by Client, Freelancer, Broker or their respective affiliates or representatives and will not and does not verify authenticity, ownership, right of possession, title or other legal right to Escrowed Property or Merchandise. In the event that Umify.io is uncertain as to Umify.io duties or rights under the Umify.io Terms of Service, receives any instruction, demand or notice from any User or financial institution which, in Umify.io's opinion, is in conflict with any of the provisions of the Umify.io Terms of Service, or any dispute arises with respect to the Umify.io Terms of Service or the Escrowed Funds, Umify.io may (i) consult with counsel of our choice (including, but not limited to our own attorneys) and any actions taken or not taken based upon advice of counsel shall be deemed consented to by ou, or (ii) refrain from taking any action other than to retain the funds in escrow for delivery in accordance with the written agreement of the Users, the final decision or award of an arbitrator pursuant to an arbitration commenced and conducted in accordance with these Terms or a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) discharge our duties under these Terms by depositing all funds by interpleader action with a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the procedures outlined elsewhere in the Umify.io Terms of Service, or (iv) escheat the funds in accordance with Applicable Law or take other actions in accordance with Applicable Law.
12. Resignation. Umify.io may, at any time, give notice of Umify.io's intent to resign as Escrow agent. If, within ten (10) days of such notice, Umify.io has not received notice from all Parties in an Underlying Transaction that they have designated a substitute escrow agent (which notice shall identify the substitute escrow agent), Umify.io may discharge Umify.io duties under these Terms by depositing all escrowed funds with a court of competent jurisdiction. If an alternate Escrow agent is so designated, Umify.io shall be discharged from Umify.io duties under the Umify.io Terms of Service by delivering all Escrowed Funds to such person or entity. Upon payment of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to these Terms, Umify.io shall be fully released from all liability and obligations with respect to the Escrow Funds and the Transaction.

Other brokers have no rights hereunder, and Client and Freelancer have the sole responsibility for financial arrangements with such brokers.
32. Shipping and Tracking of Purchased Items.
-
Upon receiving Client’s cleared funds, and where the Merchandise is a physical item, Umify.io will email Freelancer to ship the Merchandise, where appropriate, which will require Freelancer to log on to the Site to confirm secured funds, unless all Parties agree to a different method of notification. Upon Freelancer’s verification, Freelancer shall ship the Merchandise to Client based upon information provided in the Client’s profile or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Instructions, and Freelancer shall have the Merchandise insured for full value to Client. The Underlying Parties shall choose a shipping method that provides online tracking information. Freelancer will be responsible for all shipping damage if insurance is not available to cover the damage. Freelancer shall complete and submit the shipping information to the Site on the same day on which the Merchandise is placed in the carrier’s possession, confirmation of which shall be emailed to all Parties, unless they agree to a different method of notification.
-
The Client Inspection Period (as agreed to on the Transaction Detail Screens) shall be calculated in calendar days and shall commence upon the first to occur of either:
-
Client’s acknowledgment of receipt of services or Merchandise; or
-
the Site’s receipt of verification of delivery to Client via proof of delivery from the Freelancer.
-
-
Unless the Underlying Parties agree otherwise, Client is responsible for any duties, customs fees or other charges resulting from an international Transaction, which shall be included in the purchase price. The shipping Party shall properly declare the Merchandise and its value for customs procedures.
-
The Freelancer agrees to cooperate with and follow all additional instructions provided by Umify.io to ship the Merchandise, not ship the Merchandise, or request return of the Merchandise, as directed by Umify.io.
33. Client's Acceptance; Disbursement of Funds.
-
During the Client Inspection Period, Client must either “Accept” or “Reject” the services rendered or the Merchandise.
-
Umify.io will disburse the Escrowed Funds as follows:
-
If Transaction Escrow Terms reflect that Client has agreed to pay for shipping and/or any portion of the Escrow Fees, then those costs shall be collected as Client’s funds and remitted with the purchase price. At Close of Escrow, Umify.io will pay Freelancer, from the Escrowed Funds, the purchase price and shipping fee itemized in the Transaction, less any payment for shipping fees (unless Freelancer has agreed to pay for shipping) and will disburse the Escrow Fees to Umify.io.
-
If the Transaction Escrow Terms reflect that Freelancer has agreed to pay for shipping and/or any portion of the Escrow Fees, then at Close of Escrow, Umify.io will pay to Freelancer from the Escrowed Funds the purchase amount, less any fees due to Umify.io, and less any other fees the Freelancer is obligated to pay (such as broker’s fees). Shipping fees will be deemed paid outside of the Transaction.
-
-
If a Client Inspection Period ends without Client’s involvement, Umify.io at its sole discretion may provide Client notice regarding the ending of the Inspection Period within 24 hours. Umify.io is under no obligation to provide such 24-hour notice and shall not be liable if such notice is not provided. It is always the Client’s ultimate responsibility to login to the Client’s Account in the Umify.io system and check the status of their transaction.
-
Where a Client uses the Escrow Services through a partner marketplace, then the Client must click the accept or reject button for the Transaction on that partner marketplace and follow all instructions from Umify.io in relation to the Transaction.
34. Client Rejection Process.
-
Client is responsible for all Escrow Fees if the Transaction is canceled. During the Client Inspection Period, Client may reject for any reason by submitting an email to hello@umify.io along with the reason for rejection and withholding the payment release until after the Inspection Period has passed. Upon such rejection, Umify.io will email Freelancer concerning Client’s ejection. Client shall promptly return the rejected Merchandise to Freelancer within 10 calendar days after receiving notice of the rejection, and shall insure, at Client’s expense, the returned Merchandise’s value during shipment to the place designated in Freelancer’s profile. Client shall be responsible for shipping the rejected Merchandise at Client’s expense (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Freelancer’s responsibility to notify Umify.io of any change of address as soon as possible. If Freelancer does not advise Umify.io of Freelancer’s change of address in writing at least 48 hours prior to a rejection of Merchandise under this Section, Freelancer agrees that Freelancer’s last known address as contained in the records of Umify.io will be Freelancer’s current address for the purposes of this Section. Freelancer must reasonably cooperate to allow the opportunity for Client to return the rejected Merchandise if Client timely rejects the Merchandise. Freelancer agrees it will not take steps to avoid the return of rejected Merchandise. Client will be responsible for all shipping damage if insurance is not available for any reason to cover such damage. Client is aware that the Merchandise must be rejected in the manner described in these Terms to obtain a refund.
-
If Client rejects Merchandise in violation of these Terms or any other terms of acceptance and rejection applicable to the Underlying Transaction, Freelancer shall not be prohibited by these Terms from pursuing any available right or remedy against Client available under Applicable Law.
-
Client acknowledges and agrees that regardless of the reason for rejection, Client must return the rejected Merchandise to Freelancer for Escrowed Funds to be returned to Client. If Client fails to return the rejected Merchandise in accordance with these Terms within the specified time-period, Umify.io is hereby authorized to pay Freelancer the Escrowed Funds, minus the Escrow Fees.
-
If the Underlying Transaction involves a domain name and Client rejects the domain name within the Client Inspection Period, unless the domain name is being held by Umify.io pursuant to a written agreement, Client must cause return of the domain name to Freelancer within 10 calendar days of Client’s rejection. If Client fails to cause return of the domain name timely, Umify.io is hereby authorized to pay Freelancer the Escrowed Funds minus the Escrow Fees. Freelancer shall cooperate in the return process of the domain name. In the event the domain name transfer to Client has caused the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to impose a registrar lock, Freelancer will open an account at the receiving registrar to take possession of the domain name or the Escrowed Funds will continue to be held in escrow until this period expires and the domain name can be returned to Freelancer’s registrar.
-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for Underlying Transactions involving IPv4 Numbers, Client may reject the IPv4 Numbers only if the Whois records of the recipient RIR do not reflect Client or its designee as the registrant of the IPv4 Numbers (as confirmed by Umify.io), in which case Client’s rejection shall be deemed Client’s automatic return of the IPv4 Numbers to Freelancer. If, in such event, Freelancer accepts the return of the IPv4 Numbers (as further described below with respect to IPv4 Numbers), Umify.io shall refund the Escrowed Funds to Client, minus the Escrow Fees.
35. Authentication Services
-
The following additional terms apply to Transactions that are referred to Umify.io from an external online marketplace where that marketplace applies an authentication service to Merchandise that is subject of a Transaction.
-
Where Merchandise subject to an Umify.io Transaction is purchased through an external marketplace, and where Umify.io is used as a method of payment, the Underlying Parties will be bound by the Merchandise authentication rules and procedures of that external marketplace, when completing the Umify.io Transaction.
-
The relationship between the Underlying Parties and the referring external marketplace and Merchandise authentication service is independent of the relationship between the Underlying Parties and Umify.io where it concerns the Umify.io Transaction. In no circumstances will Umify.io be liable for any loss suffered by the Underlying Parties resulting from the Underlying Parties’ engagement with an external marketplace or merchandise authentication service.
-
When an external marketplace has a merchandise authentication service and the Underlying Parties engage with that authentication service, the progress of the Umify.io Transaction may be determined in part by the outcome of that authentication service. When the Underlying Parties engage with an external Merchandise authentication service, the following will generally apply:
-
When the authentication service and external marketplace determine that the Merchandise that is the subject of the Transaction is unauthentic or when authentication is unsuccessful, it is the responsibility of the Underlying Parties to engage with the authentication service and external marketplace to ensure the Merchandise is returned to the Freelancer.
-
When the authentication service and external marketplace determine that the Merchandise subject of the Umify.io Transaction is authentic or when authentication is successful, it is the responsibility of the Underlying Parties to engage with the authentication service and external marketplace to ensure the Merchandise is received by the Client. A determination made that the Merchandise is authentic or that authentication is successful will not affect the Client Inspection Period, and Client may reject the Merchandise for any reason by clicking the “Reject” button and following all other instructions on the Site for rejecting the Merchandise.
-
-
When Client rejects the Merchandise and the external marketplace and authentication service require re-authentication of the Merchandise before it can be returned to the Freelancer, the Client must follow all instructions from the external marketplace and authentication service as to where to return the Merchandise for re-authentication. The Client must not return the Merchandise directly to the Freelancer when the external marketplace and authentication service require the Merchandise to be re-authenticated prior to the rejected Merchandise being returned to the Freelancer. When Umify.io receives confirmation from the external marketplace that the rejected Merchandise has been successfully re-authenticated and returned to the Freelancer, Umify.io will return funds to the Client in accordance with Applicable Law.
-
In any event, the maximum number of times the authentication process can occur will be determined by the external marketplace and Merchandise authentication service, which operate independently of Umify.io.
-
The Underlying Parties authorize Umify.io to rely on information it receives from the external marketplace and authentication service regarding the authenticity and location of the Merchandise, in deciding when to release funds to the Freelancer or return funds to the Client, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
-
The Underlying Parties agree that when Merchandise is transacted through an external marketplace using Umify.io as the payment method, Umify.io will rely on information it receives directly from that external marketplace when deciding the status of an Umify.io Transaction and whether to disburse Escrowed Funds.
-
When the Underlying Parties use Umify.io in connection with a transaction on an external marketplace and use its authentication service, Umify.io shall in no circumstance be liable for goods that are not returned or in any way damaged or altered in connection with the authentication service or involvement of external marketplace in the Transaction.
-
When merchandise that is subject of a Transaction is transacted using an external marketplace, and an authentication service is used in connection with that external marketplace, this authentication service is managed and operated exclusively by that external marketplace and not by Umify.io. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, it is the sole and independent obligation and duty of the Underlying Parties to satisfy any and all obligations to the external internet marketplace and authentication service in connection with the Umify.io Transaction.
36. Shipping and Tracking of Returned Item.
-
Following rejection of Merchandise in accordance with these Terms, Client shall ship rejected Merchandise to Freelancer at its address designated in Freelancer’s profile.
-
Immediately upon shipping the rejected Merchandise to Freelancer, Client shall complete and submit the requested shipping information to hello@umify.io or any other channels as communicated by Umify.io. Upon receipt of the shipping information, Umify.io will email Freelancer the name of the carrier and tracking number supplied by Client. If Client effects the return of rejected Merchandise without following the guidelines in these Terms, then in addition to any other remedies that Umify.io or Freelancer may have, Umify.io will not return to Client any of the Escrowed Funds unless and until: (i) Freelancer confirms that the rejected Merchandise has arrived in the same condition in which it was originally sent by Freelancer; or (ii) there is a final Dispute Resolution, as specified in the Dispute Resolution section below, that requires Umify.io to return any Escrowed Funds. Should no shipping be necessary for the return, then Freelancer and Client shall be free of the shipping and tracking obligations.
-
The Freelancer Inspection Period shall commence upon the submission of an email from Umify to the Freelancer, informing the Freelancer of the Client’s decision to reject the services or merchandise rendered. Freelancer shall have five (5) calendar days following the date on which the Freelancer Inspection Period begins to email hello@umify.io to raise an objection to Umify and initiate a Dispute.
37. Freelancer’s Acceptance or Rejection of Return; Disbursement of Funds.
-
Freelancer shall have five (5) calendar days following the date on which the Freelancer Inspection Period begins to accept or reject by informing Umify.io through an email submission to hello@umify.io or any other channels as communicated by Umify.io.
-
During the Freelancer Inspection Period, should Freelancer:
-
fail to accept or reject by informing Umify.io through an email submission to hello@umify.io or any other channels as communicated by Umify.io; or
-
fail to follow all instructions to effectuate the acceptance or rejection of the returned Merchandise, then at the end of the Freelancer Inspection Period, Freelancer shall be deemed to be satisfied with the quality of the returned Merchandise and shall be deemed to have accepted it.
-
-
Freelancer may reject the timely return of returned Merchandise only if it is returned in a condition other than the condition when first sent to Client. Should Freelancer reject the Merchandise during the Freelancer Inspection Period, the Underlying Parties shall negotiate during the Negotiation Period. Should they fail to provide a joint instruction during the Negotiation Period to Umify.io, either of the Underlying Parties may institute binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) (in accordance with the Dispute Resolution section below) at any time within fourteen (14) calendar days following the Negotiation Period. If, as of the 15th calendar day following the end of the Negotiation Period, neither of the Underlying Parties has instituted Arbitration with notice to the other Parties, then Freelancer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to a return of all or any portion of the purchase price, the Transaction shall terminate, and Umify.io shall return the Escrowed Funds, less the Escrow Fees, as provided herein.
-
Upon the first to occur of either: (i) Freelancer’s acceptance of the returned Merchandise; (ii) the end of the Freelancer Inspection Period; or (iii) on the 15th calendar day following the Negotiation Period the failure of either Underlying Party to institute Arbitration and notify all Parties, Umify.io will disburse the Escrowed Funds as follows:
-
If the Transaction Escrow Terms reflect Client’s agreement to pay for shipping and/or any portion of the Escrow Fees, Umify.io will pay Client the purchase price, less these costs, and Umify.io will pay Freelancer for the shipping fee in the amount set forth in the Transaction Escrow Terms, disburse the Escrow Fees to Umify.io and the balance to Client.
-
If the Transaction Escrow Terms reflect Freelancer’s agreement to pay for shipping and/or any portion of the Escrow Fees, then Umify.io shall pay Client the Escrowed Funds, minus the Escrow Fees.
-
If the Underlying Parties agreed that the item will not be shipped to Client prior to the Close of Escrow, then Umify.io will not deduct shipping fees.
-
-
Once all costs are paid and funds are disbursed, the Transaction shall be deemed cancelled, with no further obligation due by the Parties under the Transaction Escrow Terms. Umify.io reserves the right and while under no obligation may provide Freelancer up to 48 hours’ notice if an Inspection Period has ended without Freelancer’s involvement.
-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for a Transaction involving IPv4 Numbers, Client’s rejection of IPv4 Numbers still registered to Freelancer in the source RIR’s Whois records shall constitute automatic return of the IPv4 Numbers to Freelancer and the beginning of Freelancer’s Inspection Period. Freelancer may reject the return of the IPv4 Numbers only if Freelancer is able to provide Umify.io (via login to the Site) independently verifiable information that in Umify.io’s absolute discretion indicates that the transfer of IPv4 Numbers from Freelancer to Client has been approved, without express reservation or condition, by the applicable RIR(s) and that the applicable RIR(s) will not agree to rescind the approval or otherwise cancel the transfer. Unless the Underlying Parties otherwise agree to a different joint instruction to Umify.io, upon Umify.io’s confirmation that the recipient Regional Internet Registry (RIR) Whois records reflect Client as the registrant, Umify.io shall close the Transaction and disburse the Escrowed Funds to Client, minus the Escrow Fees.
38. Cancellation.
-
Once Transaction has been agreed to by both Parties and Escrowed Funds have been deposited, Client may not cancel the Transaction without express written consent from both Parties. Freelancer may request the Transaction be canceled and the Client refunded, less Escrow Fees and any additional charges for currency exchange, at any time until Acceptance of the services or Merchandise. In the event of a cancellation after Escrowed Funds are received, or rejection of the Merchandise, Broker will not receive the commission unless otherwise stipulated in the Transaction Escrow Terms.
-
If either of the Underlying Parties requests cancellation of a Transaction pursuant to this paragraph, and the request for cancellation is alleged to be in violation of the underlying agreement, Client or Freelancer may pursue any right or remedy against each other (but not Umify.io) available. Any claim against Umify.io or involving the Escrow Services, Escrowed Funds, or Escrowed Property must be made pursuant to the Dispute Resolution process set forth below.
39. Transactions Involving a Broker. The Broker may initiate a Transaction providing the Client and Freelancer email addresses and any other required information. Once the Underlying Parties agree to the Transaction, including the Broker’s commission, Client will be prompted to send payment to Umify.io. After Umify.io verifies cleared funds, it will instruct Freelancer to transfer the Merchandise to Client. When Client or Umify.io has confirmed Client’s receipt of the Merchandise, the Client Inspection Period shall begin. Upon Client’s acceptance or expiration of the Client Inspection Period, Umify.io will disburse the Escrowed Funds, minus the Escrow Fees, to Freelancer and the Broker. In the event of a cancellation after Escrowed Funds are received or rejection occurs, the Broker will not receive the commission unless otherwise stipulated in the Transaction Escrow Terms.
40. Dispute Resolution.
-
If a dispute, claim, question, disagreement, or breach (collectively, “Disputes”) occurs between the Underlying Parties concerning the Transaction, or any aspect of the Escrow Services, the Underlying Parties shall promptly notify Umify.io in writing and use their best efforts during the Negotiation Period to resolve the Dispute. If they do so, they shall promptly notify Umify.io by joint instruction of the resolution terms. If they are unable to do so, they shall submit the matter to Arbitration on or before the Arbitration Commencement Period ends and promptly email notice of commencement to Umify.io.
-
If any Dispute occurs between an Underlying Party and Umify.io or concerning the Escrow Services, the Parties agree to submit to binding Arbitration in accordance with this Section. An Underlying Party with such Dispute must promptly notify Umify.io of the Dispute in writing. The Underlying Party and Umify.io will use their best efforts during the Negotiation Period to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute during the Negotiation Period, they shall submit the matter to Arbitration on or before the Arbitration Commencement Period ends in accordance with this Section.
YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights with respect to Umify.io to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. You agree to resolve any Dispute between you and Umify.io EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION as set forth in this Section. Your rights with respect to any Dispute with Umify.io will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the Arbitration procedures may be simpler and more limited than rules applicable in a court. You understand and agree that any final decision of an Arbitrator with respect to Arbitration between you and Umify.io is as enforceable as any court order.
Any Disputes brought by you must be brought exclusively in your own capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Additionally, the Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Disputes against Umify.io and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding or award class-wide relief against Umify.io.
-
If Umify.io has not received notice of Arbitration following the Arbitration Commencement Period, Umify.io may terminate the Transaction and refund the Escrowed Funds to Client, minus the Escrow Fees. Umify.io may (but has no obligation to) commence Arbitration, or to interplead the Escrowed Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction. If so, Umify.io may use the Escrowed Funds to pay the fees to initiate Arbitration or to file an action and serve process except to the extent restricted or prohibited by Applicable Law. The Underlying Party instituting Arbitration shall notify the other Parties by sending written notice of demand for arbitration. The Underlying Parties shall accept service of the notice of arbitration or a Complaint and summons in connection with a judicial action via email at the addresses previously provided to Umify.io by the Underlying Parties.
-
Arbitration may be initiated with the International Court of Arbitration (“ICC”), the Judicial and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) or Net-ARB Inc. (“net-ARB”) (each an “Arbitration Provider”), at the discretion of the commencing Party. The Arbitration shall take place in Singapore, unless the involved Parties all agree to a different venue. Except as modified by these Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the Arbitration will be governed by the Arbitration Provider’s published rules and procedures. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and one of the Arbitration Provider’s rules or procedures, these Terms shall control to the extent of such conflict.
-
Unless the involved Parties agree otherwise, Arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator who is a member of the ICC, JAMS, or net-ARB, (“Arbitrator”) with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes. The commencing Party shall provide the Arbitration Provider with a copy of this arbitration provision and the names, contact information, and contact persons associated with the Underlying Parties and Umify.io, with a copy to all other Parties (“Arbitration Request”). Umify.io shall not be a party to the Arbitration to resolve a Dispute between the Underlying Parties unless Umify.io voluntarily elects to participate. The Arbitration Request will request the Arbitration Provider to select an Arbitrator pursuant to the Arbitration Provider’s procedures. If the Arbitration Provider does not have such a procedure, the Arbitration Request will request the Arbitration Provider to identify three potential Arbitrators (“Arbitration Provider List”). No Underlying Party may request any specific Arbitrator be included on the Arbitration Provider List. Each Underlying Party may, within five (5) days after receipt of the proposed names, strike one name from the list. Thereafter, the Arbitration Provider shall appoint as Arbitrator a person whose name has not been struck and an alternate. If the Arbitration Provider does not timely appoint an Arbitrator and alternate, either Underlying Party may petition a court of Singapore for such appointment. Within ten (10) calendar days after the appointment, the Arbitrator shall schedule a planning hearing, which will be conducted by telephone and shall be held within the next ten (10) calendar days, to discuss scheduling, discovery, and any other issues in the Arbitrator’s discretion.
-
The Arbitrator shall decide all gateway issues of arbitrability including whether the Dispute is subject to Arbitration in whole or in part and whether a Party’s litigation conduct constitutes a waiver of the right to demand Arbitration.
-
The Arbitrator shall enter a default award if an Underlying Party fails to participate in the Arbitration.
-
Unless the Underlying Parties (and Umify.io if involved) agree otherwise as set forth herein, the Arbitration for transactions shall take place in Singapore, at a date, time and location selected by the Arbitrator. The final hearing must be commenced within 120 calendar days after notice of the selection of the Arbitrator is served. The parties must use commercially reasonable efforts to have the hearing concluded within 90 calendar days after it is commenced, although the parties agree an Arbitrator may, in its sole discretion, take a longer period of time to set the time for the hearing or make its determination or order. A decision shall be reasoned. Except where the Arbitrator determines to take a longer period of time, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the decision rendered within 20 days after the conclusion of the final hearing.
-
Subject to the prevailing-party shifting award specified below, each Underlying Party shall advance a pro-rata share of the Arbitrator’s expenses and fees, and the other arbitration expenses incurred or approved by the Arbitrator. Umify.io will not be responsible for any portion of the Arbitration expenses and fees unless Umify.io is a party to a Dispute under paragraph (b) above. An Underlying Party that fails to pay its share shall not be allowed to participate in the Arbitration and shall be subject to an order of default and resultant award by the Arbitrator. If an Underlying Party fails to pay its share, the other Underlying Parties shall pay pro rata the remaining costs. The Arbitrator shall add such payment in the final award to return the Underlying Parties to their position had proper payment been made.
-
The Arbitrator shall award the prevailing Party his/her/its expenses and fees of Arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and witness fees in accordance with these Terms and, as necessary, the applicable Arbitration Provider’s rules and procedures.
-
A failure to respond or otherwise comply with a demand for Arbitration or to participate in the Arbitration will result in forfeiture of all rights of the non-complying Underlying Party concerning the dispute, including rights to the Escrowed Funds or any property associated therewith, and may result in a default judgment against that Underlying Party.
-
An Arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the participating Parties to the Arbitration and judgment confirming the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator shall serve a copy of the award on all Parties (including Umify.io even if not involved in Arbitration).
-
Except as required by Applicable Law, Umify.io will take no action to close the Transaction or otherwise dispose of the Escrowed Funds until receipt of: (i) a joint instruction signed by all the affected Underlying Parties; or (ii) an order of the Arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction directing action by Umify.io. Umify.io shall have no responsibility to initiate and/or continue to update the Underlying Parties regarding status of the Transaction, Arbitration, or judicial proceeding. If required by Applicable Law or if instructed by the Arbitrator, provided that all fees required of the Underlying Parties under these Terms are paid in advance, Umify.io will place the Escrowed Funds into an interest-bearing account. The disposition of the interest earned to the Underlying Parties shall be decided concurrently with the resolution of the dispute. THE OBLIGATION OF UMIFY.IO AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE HOLDING AND DISBURSEMENT OF THE ESCROW FUNDS UPON INSTRUCTIONS SIGNED BY ALL UNDERLYING PARTIES OR AN AWARD FROM THE ARBITRATOR AND/OR JUDGE. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Umify.io reserves the right at its sole discretion to interplead disputed funds related to any Transaction to a court.
-
Umify.io may, in its discretion, institute Arbitration or a judicial proceeding (including interpleading the Escrowed Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction) to resolve any Dispute in a Transaction.
41. Integrated Affiliate. If an entity’s site is integrated to the Site in whole or in part for the purpose of data transmission, that entity shall be considered an integrated affiliate (“Integrated Affiliate”) and shall be bound by the Transaction Instructions and Supplemental Instructions (if any) effective when the terms pass from Freelancer’s site (and Broker’s site when applicable) to the Site. Freelancer (and Broker when applicable) shall be bound by the Transaction Escrow Terms and any Supplemental Terms effective when Client clicks the “Agree” button, thereby attaching Client’s Digital ID.
42. Time Limits.
-
Should the Site or the Escrow Services be unavailable, or the Underlying Parties jointly desire to extend the Client or Freelancer Inspection Periods, then Umify.io may in its discretion extend such times, and will provide prompt email notification to all Underlying Parties. Except for Umify.io extensions, the Inspection Periods shall not be modified.
-
The affected Underlying Party shall notify Umify.io within the applicable time limit either by emailing hello@umify.io or any other email communicated on Umify.io’s Site for the purpose of receiving such communications. This notification will not be considered effective until Umify.io notifies the Underlying Parties of receipt via email or by updating the Transaction Detail Screen.
43. Payments.
-
All Escrowed Funds payable to one of the Underlying Parties shall be paid as soon as possible to the applicable Account following Client’s acceptance, Freelancer’s acceptance, or the resolution of a dispute. If Client overpays, Umify.io shall reimburse the overpayment upon the Close of Escrow. If an Underlying Party is overpaid, the recipient shall promptly return the overpaid amount to Umify.io. The recipient shall also pay any postage costs and/or wire fees if an alternate payment is requested. The Underlying Parties shall also hold Umify.io harmless from any loss arising from currency conversion.
-
If Client chooses credit card as the method of payment, Umify.io may charge Client’s credit card when Client selects the Form of Payment from the Transaction Detail Screen. Client shall provide documentation to validate identity. Umify.io may refuse a credit card or other form of payment for any reason and need not disclose the reason. If refusal occurs, the Transaction shall be considered cancelled twenty (20) calendar days after Umify.io’s notification to Client of the refusal and Client’s failure to cure within that period. All Escrowed Funds disbursements shall be made by mailing a regular check, unless otherwise requested by the payee. Alternatively, the payee may receive a credit back to a credit card or other payment source if authorized to do so by the credit card company or other payment source.
-
Payments made by check shall be subject to a 10-day hold.
-
Due to processing delays, payments by credit card, debit card or PayPal Account shall not be on deposit with Umify.io until the Business Day on which the funds are actually deposited into Umify.io’s designated account.
-
Umify.io does not accept forwarding or ‘pushing’ of ACH payments to escrow accounts. An ACH payment will only be accepted where it has been expressly approved and authorized by Umify.io in writing and in advance of that ACH payment being made. Where the Underlying Parties request approval for payment by ACH, and where this method of payment is approved by Umify.io for a Transaction, the ACH payment will be initiated by Umify.io or its payment gateway and not by the Underlying Parties. In no circumstances will an ACH payment be accepted as a valid payment where it is forwarded, initiated, or ‘pushed’ into an escrow account by the Underlying Parties to a Transaction. It is understood that any ACH transaction must comply with U.S. laws and NACHA rules. Except as required by Applicable Law, Umify.io is not responsible for any errors in the completion, accuracy, or timeliness of any transfer properly initiated by Umify.io in accordance with joint written instructions occasioned by the acts or omissions of any third-party financial institution or a party to the transaction, or the insufficiency or lack of availability of Your funds on deposit in an external account. In the instance that a refund is required from a transaction funded via ACH, Umify.io requires the party responsible for funding the transaction to submit a recall request from the originating institution. If the institution is unable to execute a recall, we must receive written notification stating that the institution cannot perform a recall. With further consideration, a refund may be executed by Umify.io.
-
Upon any payment or other disposition of the Escrowed Funds, the Transaction shall be deemed closed and final with no further obligation by the Parties. If after a Transaction is closed and Umify.io has distributed proceeds, a Client (and Broker when applicable) who has made a payment by ACH or credit card instructs the bank or card issuer to stop payment or make a charge back so that Umify.io does not receive the payment or the previous credit from the bank or card issuer is reversed or “charged back”, Client (and Broker when applicable) shall be deemed to have materially breached these Terms. If such breach occurs after the Transaction closes, damages in the amount of the stopped payment, reversal or chargeback plus an additional amount equal to Umify.io’s actual costs, losses, or damages as a result of such stopped payment, reversal, or chargeback will be imposed, which amount is reasonable in light of (i) the anticipated or actual harm caused by the breach; (ii) the difficulties of proof of loss; and (iii) the inconvenience or non-feasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy.
44. Escrowed Funds. Umify.io will hold Escrowed Funds in a non-interest-bearing deposit account with any institution engaged by Umify.io in its discretion. The maintenance of such accounts may result in Umify.io’s or its Affiliates’ receiving certain bank services, accommodations, or other benefits by the bank, none of which shall redound to the Underlying Parties’ benefit.
45. Unclaimed Funds. Umify.io will escheat unclaimed Escrowed Funds in accordance with Applicable Law.
46. Changes to Contact Information. You agree to notify us immediately of any changes to your contact information, including your email address, residential, business and/or mailing address, and telephone number(s), so that all Your records at Umify.io can be updated accordingly. You authorize us to send information and inquiries to the email address we have on file for your Account.
47. Indemnification.
-
The Underlying Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Umify.io, its Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and assigns of Umify.io and its Affiliates from, against and in respect of any and all third party tort claims, suits, actions, and proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) to the extent that such third-party Claims arise from the negligent acts, errors, or omissions of the Underlying Parties relating to the use of the Escrow Services or a breach of the Umify.io Terms of service, including: non-payment or insufficient payment of Escrow Fees or any other charge; any chargeback from a card organization; or reversal or nonpayment of any credit or debit entry. The foregoing also applies to all judgements, settlements, liabilities, damages, demands, taxes, charges, expenses and legal and other expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses of attorneys), arising out of such third-party Claims. The indemnification obligation shall be due from the Underlying Party(ies) causing the harm to Umify.io.
