CONSULTANTS
Consultants provide Remote-how with specialized, productized services. These allow Buyers to purchase said services through Remote-how’s marketplace platform. Each service to be sold through the platform that is successfully completed will accredit the Consultants’ accounts with an amount of revenue equal to 83% of the service’s purchase amount. Remote-how may temporarily disable the withdrawal of revenue or security concerns, to prevent fraudulent or illicit activity. This could come as a result of user-reported improper behavior, security issues, or creating and associating multiple Remote-how accounts to a single withdrawal provider. Consultants are responsible for obtaining any general liability insurance policy that offers coverage amounts sufficient to cover all risks associated with the offering of their services. Consultants may not offer any form of direct payments outside of the Remote-how platform. In the case that you have been asked to use or provide an alternative payment method by a Buyer, please report this immediately to support@remote-how.com
SERVICES
Services created on Remote-how platforms are User Generated Content.
Through offering a service, the Consultant agrees to undertake that Consultant has the sufficient permissions, licenses, and/or rights to be providing, selling, or reselling the service offered on the Remote-how platform. Consultants that are advertising online their services have to comply with any terms of service and laws of the advertising platform or relevant website they are using to advertise. Failing to do this can result in the removal of said service and possibly lead to the suspension of the Consultant’s account.
Remote-how is not responsible for the violation of the above-mentioned permissions, rights, licenses, etc.
Services and/or Users may be removed by Remote-how from the website and marketplace for violating these Terms of Service. This may include (but is not limited to) the following violations and/or materials:
- Trademark infringement, copyright infringement, and violations of a third party’s terms of service
- Pornographic and adult orientated services, or inappropriate/obscene
- Fraudulent or illegal services
- Spam, or violent/deceptive services
- Services that mislead Buyers or others
- Regulated goods reselling
- Low-quality or poor services
- Promoting Remote-how and/or Remote-how services through activities that are specifically prohibited by any regulations, laws, and/or third parties’ terms of service. This may also arise through any marketing activity that can negatively affect the relationships with our Users or partners.
Services that end up being removed for the violations mentioned above can lead to the suspension of the Consultant’s account. Services removed for violations are not in any way eligible to be edited or restored. Services can also be removed from our Search feature due to user misconduct and/or poor performance. Services can include some pre-approved website URLs contained within the services’ requirements and description box. Services that contain websites that promote content that violate Remote-how’s Terms of Service will be promptly removed. Services are also required to have an appropriate image related to the services on offer. Services may link/embed a pre-approved Service Video. Statements on the Services Page that undermine or circumvent these Terms of Service are strictly prohibited.
BUYERS
On the marketplace, the Buyer can purchase services that are available within the Remote-how platform. If a Service does not come with a price, the Buyer should ask for a quotation based on the Buyer’s needs. If the Buyer fails to find any Services that specifically meet the Buyer’s needs, they may choose to post a Project. The Buyer is not allowed to offer direct payments to the Consultant using payment systems outside of the Remote-how platform. In the case that you are asked to use an alternative payment method by a Consultant, please report this immediately to support@remote-how.com. Remote-how retains the right to use all publicly published delivered works for Remote-how promotional and marketing purposes.
HANDLING ORDERS
When the Buyer orders a Service through the marketplace, the Consultant and the Buyer are connected by Remote-how. The Buyer and the Consultant then establish together details of the service to be delivered. Based on the service type, this can include such details as a specific date, time, topic, deliverables, etc.
HANDLING PROJECTS
When a Buyer posts a Project, Consultants can see their Project on the platform. If the Consultant matches a Buyer’s criteria, the Consultant can “Apply for a project” by sending a message to the Buyer through the platform.
Once the Consultant applies for a Project, the Buyer will be notified by email. The Buyer can receive applications from different Consultants and will receive them as long as the Project is online and open. To close a Project please reach out to us at support@remote-how.com
The Buyer can approve or decline any application.
– Approval of an application lets the Buyer converse with the Consultant. This doesn’t mean the Buyer is obligated to hire the Consultant.
– The declination of the application reflects the fact that the Buyer doesn’t find the Consultant’s application and service offered to be suitable for the Project.
– The Buyer can approve more than one application and then proceed to decide who they want to hire.
Once the Buyer and the Consultant agree on the scope of work and budget, the Buyer is obliged to escrow the agreed amount of money. The Consultant and the Buyer should then proceed with the Project according to what was established and agreed upon.
After the Project is completed from the Consultant’s side, the Buyer has to Accept or decline the work done by the Consultant. Only if the Job is accepted as finished will Remote-how be able to make a pay-out to the Consultant. If the Buyer does not accept the work as completed within 30 days after the Consultant marks it completed, Remote-how recognizes the Project to be accepted.
NDA, COPYRIGHTS, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Buyer and the Consultant are forbidden to share or divulge any information regarding the Project, the Service, and its execution to the public or any third party without clear, written consent from the second party. This includes the Buyer and Consultant’s details, the content of the Project, and any documentation shared before or after hiring. This goes regardless of if the Consultant applied for the project or not, or was hired or not.
If the Buyer and the Consultant feel that they need to sign any additional documents regarding non-disclosure, copyright, intellectual property, etc. then they are free to do so.

The User will not be refunded for the month of the incident. A member’s subscription will be canceled immediately so that they will not be charged for any further months.
