If Member desires to complete the work described in the Project Request, Member may elect to bid on the Project Request by submitting a price for the Project through the Platform. The Platform will analyze Project Requests and bid responses to match Companies with a Member or a curated team of Members (a “Project Team”). If Member is designed by GoodWork to serve as a “Creative Lead,” Member may be given the ability to select other GoodWork members for a Project Team, at GoodWork’s discretion. GoodWork may modify or remove a Creative Lead designation from Member at any time. If Member is matched to or otherwise selected for a Project Request, either independently or as part of a Project Team, Member and the Company will then work together, and with the Project Team, if applicable, in good faith to develop the applicable Project Scope.

If Member is removed, or leaves a Project, Member waives any right to, and GoodWork will have no obligation to pay to Member, the Project Fees. Performance of the work described in a Project Scope is the sole responsibility of Member, and GoodWork has no obligation to complete Project work, oversee Projects, or monitor the relationships between Member and Companies or among Project Teams. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GoodWork may, but is not obligated, to facilitate dispute resolution between Member and Companies and otherwise provide customer service and support to Member in connection with Member’s use of the Platform upon request if Member is not able to resolve any inquiries, issues, or disputes directly with Company.

4.3 Project Performance; Deliverables; Assignment. Member will deliver to relevant Companies all deliverables under a Project by electronic transmission through Third-Party Services. Member hereby covenants and agrees: (i) to execute an assignment agreement with each Company assigning to Company all work product included in or comprising the deliverables originated and prepared for Company by Member pursuant to the relevant Project Scope; (ii) to execute, at a Company’s request and expense, all additional documents and other instruments and do such further acts as are necessary to perfect, register, enforce, or otherwise effectuate such assignment; (iii) that all deliverables provided by Member for any Project, and all work product included therein, shall be the original work of Member alone, shall not include any third party material (except material provided by Companies for the relevant Project), and shall not infringe or misappropriate the patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, licenses, or other intellectual property, privacy, or rights of any third party; and (iv) if any deliverables or work product therein become subject to or are likely to become subject to any claims alleging infringement or misappropriation of third party intellectual property, to promptly re-perform and redeliver such deliverables to make them non-infringing at no additional cost or expense.

‍

4.5 Fees and Payment Terms.
(a) Fees. Company will pay the fees associated with each Project as set forth in the applicable Project Scope (“Project Fees”). Company will pay Project Fees directly to GoodWork, who will then remit the Project Fees to Member upon satisfactory completion of the Project in accordance the applicable Project Scope. For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts to Member hereunder shall become due or payable by GoodWork hereunder until and unless GoodWork has received the applicable payment from Company. All payment schedules set forth in a Project Scope are good faith estimates only and are not binding on GoodWork. GoodWork may occasionally offer promotions or incentives to Member. The availability of promotions or incentives is not guaranteed. Any such promotions or incentives will be made available at GoodWork’s sole discretion and may be discontinued, modified, or withdrawn by GoodWork at any time for any or no reason.

‍

4.6 Ratings; No Guarantee of Engagement for Work. Member acknowledges and agrees that its use of the Platform and performance under a Project may be subject to feedback from Companies (each, a “Rating”). Ratings will be made public on the Platform. GoodWork has no control over any Rating given to Member by a Company. Member further acknowledges and agrees that its Ratings may affect, impact, or otherwise influence Companies’ desire to engage Member to perform work or GoodWork’s willingness to match Member with a Project Request, and that being matched with a Project Request, engaged by a Company on the Platform, and continued membership on the Platform are not guaranteed.
