Once a Buyer creates a business team, they become the sole owner and administrator of the team.

When inviting a Buyer to a business team, the administrator authorizes such Buyer to use the team's shared payment method. Business teams may be subject to a monthly budget limitation, as defined by the administrator. Administrators can invite and remove Buyers at any time. It should be noted, however, that removing a Buyer from a business team does not delete or affect their Banigig account in any way, but only removes them from the administrator's business team.


Buyers are asked to confirm their invitation to a business team before joining. Buyers should note that all business team members have access to information about purchases made within the team through the shared payment method.

Invoices for purchases made by Buyers using the team's payment method will be issued solely according to the billing information defined by the administrator.

Sellers must deliver completed files and/or proof of work using the Deliver Work button (located on the Order page) according to the service that was purchased and advertised on their Gig.


An order is marked as Complete after it is marked as Delivered and then accepted by a Buyer. An order will be automatically marked as Complete if not accepted and no request for modification was submitted within 3 days after the order was marked as Delivered.

We encourage our Buyers and Sellers to try and settle conflicts amongst themselves.


Handling Orders


When a Buyer orders a Gig, the Seller is notified by email as well as notifications on the site while logged into the account.

Sellers are required to meet the delivery time they specified when creating their Gigs. Failing to do so will allow the Buyer to cancel the order when an order is marked as late and may harm the Seller's status.

Sellers must send completed files and/or proof of work using the Deliver Completed Work button (located on the Order page) to mark the order as Delivered.

Users are responsible for scanning all transferred files for viruses and malware. Banigig will not be held responsible for any damages which might occur due to site usage, use of content or files transferred.

Buyers may use the "Request Revisions" feature located on the Order page while an order is marked as Delivered if the delivered materials do not match the Seller's description on their Gig page or they do not match the requirements sent to the Seller at the beginning of the order process.



Reviews


Feedback reviews provided by Buyers while completing an order are an essential part of Banigig's rating system. Reviews demonstrate the Buyer's overall experience with the Sellers and their service. Buyers are encouraged to communicate to the Seller any concerns experienced during their active order in regards to the service provided by the Seller.

Leaving a Buyer's feedback is a basic prerogative of a Buyer. Feedback reviews will not be removed unless there are clear violations of our Terms of Service.

To prevent any misuse of our Feedback system, all feedback reviews must come from legitimate sales executed exclusively through the Banigig platform from users within our Community. Purchases arranged, determined to artificially enhance Seller ratings, or to abuse the Banigig platform with purchases from additional accounts, will result in a permanent suspension of all related accounts.

Feedback comments given by Buyers are publicly displayed on a Seller's Gig page.

Work Samples are the delivered images and videos sent to a Buyer in a delivery message. Work Samples are added to a Seller's Live Portfolio on their Gig page if the Buyer chooses to publish the Work Sample while providing a public feedback review.

Withholding the delivery of services, files, or information required to complete the Gig's service with the intent to gain favorable reviews or additional services is prohibited.


Responding and posting a review: Once work is delivered, the Buyer has three days to respond. If no response is provided within the response period, the order will be considered completed.

Users are allowed to leave reviews on orders up to 10 days after an order is marked as complete. No new reviews may be added to an order after 10 days.

Sellers may not solicit the removal of feedback reviews from their Buyers through mutual cancellations.


Disputes and Cancellations


We encourage our Buyers and Sellers to try and settle conflicts amongst themselves. If for any reason this fails after using the Resolution Center or if you encounter non-permitted usage on the Site, users can contact Banigig's Customer Support department for assistance.


Order cancellations can be performed on Banigig, when eligible, by Customer Support or through the Resolution Center per order.

Filing a transaction dispute or reversing a payment through your payment provider or your bank is a violation to these Terms of Service. Doing so may get your account temporarily or permanently disabled. Note: once you have filed a dispute with your payment provider, the funds will be ineligible for a refund due to our obligations towards the payment provider.

In the event that a Buyer or Seller encounters an issue related to the service provided in an order, you are encouraged to use the Site's dispute resolution tools to attempt to resolve the matter.

Banigig, through its Payment Services Providers, reserves the right to cancel orders or place funds on hold for any suspected fraudulent transactions made on the Site.

All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer shall be subject to full payment for the Gig and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason.

If an order is cancelled (for any reason), the funds paid will be returned to the Buyer's Banigig Balance.

Revisions to deliveries can be performed by Sellers based on the Seller's Gig and customer care. Sellers may determine the amount of revisions offered to Buyers, including no revisions.

Requests for revisions can be performed through the Order page while the order is marked as Delivered.

Requesting to gain more services from Sellers beyond the agreed requirements by using the Request Revisions button is not allowed.



Order Cancellations


Banigig encourages Buyers and Sellers to resolve service disputes mutually using the Resolution Center.

Eligibility for requests to Banigig to cancel an order will be assessed by our Customer Support team based on a number of factors, including violations to our Terms of Service, general misconduct, and improper usage of the Banigig delivery system. See below for Order specific eligibility.

Completed orders (or, where applicable, completed milestones) may be cancelled, upon review of our Customer Support team, up to 14 days after the order (or Milestone) is marked as complete. Please be advised that orders cannot be partially cancelled (i.e. we can only cancel the entire order when it is justified).

In rare circumstances where we find it appropriate, our Customer Support team may cancel a completed order even after 14 days have passed from its completion. In such cases, the amounts paid for the cancelled order will be returned to the Buyer's Banigig Balance and will be deducted from the Seller's Banigig Balance or, if there are no sufficient amounts in the Seller's Banigig Balance, from future revenues of such Seller.


Orders are not eligible to be cancelled based on the quality of service/materials delivered by the Seller if the service was rendered as described in the Gig page. Buyers may rate their experience with the Seller on the order page, including the overall level of service quality received.

Buyers must use Banigig Resolution Center to address their concerns and desired resolution related to the service provided by their Seller prior to contacting Customer Support. Customer Support will not take any action against Orders where the Buyers failed to inform their Seller of issues related to the Seller's service and will allow Sellers to provide a resolution first. This does not include non-permitted usage of Banigig.

Any non-permitted usage of Banigig encountered during an Order, after being reviewed by our Customer Support team, may result in the order being cancelled. This includes, but not limited to; harassment, unlawful behavior, or other violations to Banigig's Terms of Service.


Banigig Customer Support will cancel orders based on, but not limited to, the following reasons:


  • Active Orders (after the Buyer submits their requirements and before the Seller delivers on Banigig)
  • The Seller is late and unresponsive for more than 24 hours while the order is marked as Late.
  • Users are abusive towards the other party through threats of low ratings or leveraging order materials (such as logins, personal information) against each other.

Note: Multiple reported offenses will result in permanent suspension of your account.

  • The Seller delivers no files and/or proof of work related to the agreed upon order requirements. Note: Subjectivity of the materials in question will be reviewed by our Customer Support team.
  • The Seller requests additional payments, on or off the Banigig platform, by withholding the final delivery of services directly related to the agreed requirements.
  • The Seller is withholding the final delivery of services for improved ratings.
  • Buyers who abuse the Request Revisions button to gain more services from Sellers beyond the agreed requirements.
  • Buyers who threaten to leave a damaging review to gain more services from the Seller not related to the agreed requirements.
  • Completed Orders (after the order is marked as complete and before the 14 day limitation)
  • Users who have been reported to use copyright/trademark infringing materials after verification and with proof.
  • Buyers who did not purchase commercial use rights and are reported to have used the materials commercially. Note: Terms of Commercial use is found on the Seller's Gig page and cannot be retroactively included once the order is completed for over 14 days.

We encourage users to take advantage of our rating system, our community and common sense in choosing appropriate Gigs service offers.

Ownership


Ownership and limitations: Unless clearly stated otherwise on the Seller's Gig page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyrights for the work delivered from the Seller, and the Seller waives any and all moral rights therein. The delivered work shall be considered work-for-hire under the U.S. Copyright Act. In the event the delivered work does not meet the requirements of work-for-hire or when US Copyright Act does not apply, the Seller expressly agrees to assign to Buyer the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to Buyer shall be subject to full payment for the Gig and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work shall be the exclusive property of Buyer, and Seller assigns all rights, title and interest in the delivered work. Some Gigs (including for custom created work) charge additional payments (through Gig Extras) for a Commercial Use License. This means that if you purchase the Gig for personal use, you will own all rights you require for such use, and will not need the Commercial Use License. If you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration, or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a Gig Extra and will have broader rights that cover your business use.

For Voice Over Gigs, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is purchasing basic rights, (which means the Buyer is paying a one time fee allowing them to use the work forever and for any purpose except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots). If you intend to use the Voice Over to promote a product and/or service (with the exception of paid marketing channels), you will need to purchase the Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) through Gig Extra. If you intend to use the Voice Over in radio, television and internet commercials, you will need to purchase the Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) through Gig Extra. For further information on the type of buy-outs, please read below.

Sellers further confirm that whatever information they receive from the Buyer, which is not public domain, shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared or used for any purpose whatsoever other than for the delivery of the ordered work to the Buyer.

Furthermore, users (both Buyers and Sellers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Banigig, including Gig texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Banigig for no consideration for marketing and/or other purposes.
