Terms and Conditions

By accessing and using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms and conditions. Your continued use of this website means your acceptance and agreement to be legally bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms and conditions, kindly refrain from using this website.

Restrictions and Responsibilities

You will not, directly or indirectly: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to the Services or any software, documentation or data related to the Services (“Software”); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services or any Software (except to the extent expressly permitted by Lectron or authorized within the Services); use the Services or any Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party; or remove any proprietary notices or labels.

You represent, covenant, and warrant that you will use the Services only in compliance with Lectron’s standard published policies then in effect (the “Policy”) and all applicable laws and regulations. You hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lectron against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements and expenses (including without limitation costs and attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim or action that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing or otherwise from your use of Services. Although Lectron has no obligation to monitor our use of the Services, Lectron may do so and may prohibit any use of the Services it believes may be (or alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing.

You shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, servers, software, operating systems, networking, web servers and the like (collectively, “Equipment”).

You shall also be responsible for maintaining the security of the Equipment, your account, passwords (including but not limited to administrative and user passwords) and files, and for all uses of your account or the Equipment with or without your knowledge or consent.

Confidentiality, Proprietary Rights

You will pay Lectron the then applicable fees described in the invoice for the Services in accordance with the terms therein adjusted for any discounts (the “Fees”), regardless of being higher than any quotes or estimates provided to you before or during the time period the Services were provided. A change in pricing or fee structure will not apply to an agreed Service identified by a unique project number (a “Project”), for which you have or should have received a Project Confirmation email. However, Lectron reserves the right to change its prices, fee structures or applicable charges and to institute new charges and fees at any time without notifying you. Changes in prices or fee structure or other charges will apply to any Project started thereafter, regardless of you having used Lectron Services prior to such changes. All Projects are subject to a minimum cost of USD 99. It is your responsibility to review the Lectron pricing page or inquire Lectron about the latest prices and fee structure. If you believe that Lectron has billed you incorrectly, you must contact Lectron no later than 7 days after receiving the Project Closed email or invoice, in whichever the error or problem first appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to [email protected]. It is your responsibility to terminate a Project if progress is not deemed satisfactory, and hours used by you on the Lectron platform must be paid in full, regardless of satisfaction with end product. It is your responsibility to inquire for progress reports sufficiently frequently to evaluate progress. In the event that freelancers on the Lectron platform have performed unsatisfactory, it is your responsibility to report to Lectron as soon as possible, to allow Lectron to handle the dispute and potentially credit you.

By using or agreeing to use the Services, you commit to provide a valid payment method with available funds to pay for any Fees through an account on Lectron.com, and to maintain a valid payment method until all Services are paid for. Lectron reserves the right to not provide any Services before you have provided a valid payment method through an account on Lectron.com.

Lectron may choose to bill through an invoice. In any case, full payment for invoices issued, and for amounts that have been attempted charged on your credit card or by another payment method, in any given month, must be received by Lectron no later than fourteen (14) days after the emailing date of the invoice, or date of the attempted charge to credit card or other payment method, respectively. If any outstanding amount has not been paid within 14 days, a USD 50 late payment fee will be added to the unpaid amount. Furthermore, unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service. Unpaid amounts that have not been paid after 30 days will be sent to a Debt Collection agency. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Lectron’s net income.

Payment by bank transfer or wire transfer is subject to a USD 50 transaction fee that will be added to your invoice.

Lectron will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you the Services agreed upon and you shall pay Lectron the Fee in accordance with these Terms. In cases where the Service has been cancelled, terminated or aborted, either by you or by Lectron , you will pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided. All sections of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

You hereby authorize Lectron to run, or have run, credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided by you, to store credit card details as your method of payment for Services, and to charge your credit card (or any other form of payment authorized by Lectron or mutually agreed to between you and Lectron ).

We reserve the right to invoice incurred amount on a Project at any time, including but not limited to situations where we await your feedback or your confirmation that the Project has been completed. In situations where we do not receive feedback or confirmation of completion within 14 days from delivery of any Service, either complete or incomplete, incurred amount on the Project will be invoiced automatically. Lectron reserves the right to close and invoice a Project if it is still ongoing 30 days after you received or should have received the Project Confirmation email. Subject to these Terms, Lectron will provide reasonable support to start a new Project for any remaining work.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, and that organization defaults or in any other way is not able to pay any outstanding amount owed to Lectron, you are personally jointly liable for payment, unless it is evident that you had no knowledge of the causes for the organization’s inability to pay.

Credits

Lectron reserves the right to give and withdraw credits at its own discretion. All credits given expire 6 months after creation, regardless of being unlocked or activated at a later point in time. Lectron reserves the right to change its credit reward functionality at any time without notice. It is your responsibility to inquire Lectron about the latest credit functionality and the status of your credits.

Warranty and Disclaimer

Lectron shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Lectron or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Lectron’s reasonable control, but Lectron shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. However, Lectron does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free; nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of the Services.
