Eprogrammer provides escrow as a free, bonus, and automated service only as a tool to help members transact more securely. We do not act as an arbitrator between parties, should a dispute arise, except in limited situations. Financial disputes should be resolved between members, or via another third party, and without Eprogrammer whenever possible. We do, however, reserve the right to cancel an escrow payment, at any time, if we believe we are left with no other option. We also reserve the right to complete an escrow payment if no response is received from the payer, after repeated attempts at contact, for 30 continuous days.

DEPOSIT DISPUTES

Members may not file a complaint with one of our payment processors, including PayPal or 2checkout, regarding the funds deposited into their account.
Eprogrammer staff will do its best to resolve any problem a member may have.
Refunds will be processed, if deemed necessary, at a time of Eprogrammer staff's choosing.
Due to the incompatible communication systems between our payment processors and Eprogrammer staff members, payment disputes logged directly with those processors cannot be properly managed and will cause further delays.
Due to this, members who make a complaint to our payment processor will face account termination without notice.

COPYRIGHTS

No copyright material can be posted on Eprogrammer . Only posting sections of articles or scripts, as examples, will be permitted. A "section" being no more than 10% of the contents. This is meant to protect the author's rights. We also do not tolerate enquiries requesting unauthorized internet activities or offer and we expect a very high conduct of our members as it is help oriented portal for highly intelectual programmers and respectable companies and webmasters and we have no place for fraudsters.

MODIFICATIONS IN TERMS

Eprogrammer reserves the right to change the member Terms and Conditions at any time. It is the member's responsibility to check these Terms and Conditions from time to time for such changes. In the event Eprogrammer offers any additional or replacement services then this agreement shall apply to such services in the absence of any new agreement specific to such services which is entered into between the parties.

OWNERSHIP

Members agree that all information contained on a website operated by Eprogrammer , and all information compiled by Eprogrammer through operation carried out on this site, is the proprietary information of Eprogrammer . Personal information provided by members to Eprogrammer will be kept confidential and will not be distributed to any third party. We do not mind you sell with any user name password or use any payment processor to take payments but we reserve the right to ask details of your actual business name and your company details for our own records only (it may seldom happen if we observe and unusual activity).

E-MAIL ADDRESSES

Members agree not to post their e-mail address on the site , except in the "e-mail" field of the signup form, or when asked by Eprogrammer at any other time. There should be no need to give anyone your e-mail address. It is automatically provided if you choose a programmer or service provider for (or you are the seller chosen for) an enquiry, and before that time you can use the message board to communicate (still without giving your personal contact information on message board). This does not only apply to e-mail addresses only, but to all methods of communication, including phone, ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc ... See "Avoiding Commissions" below for the reason.

PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION

You are prohibited from making direct contact with another user, unless it's for a buyer or service provider have been picked for, or you (a buyer) have picked a freelancer for service. This includes giving out your e-mail address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of contact outside of this site because we frequently check all messages on message board we provide you for your convenience and to clarify your doubts before purchase or sell. It should be sufficient for pre-purchase planning. The only exception to this is on "Featured" enquiries because they are prepaid and buyer can get direct contact information bu sellers on message board etc.
If an enquiry has the "Featured" which is prepaid , that means the sellers ,buyer or service providers has paid a flat fee in advance, and you are allowed to provide contact information in the message board.
Note that the Eprogrammer system does not distinguish between featured and non-featured message board posts, so you will still get a warning when submitting an e-mail address when bidding(a copy of such message is sent to Eprogrammer admin), even if the project is Featured but we take no notice if enquiry is featured otherwise closely monitor your conduct while using our service.

AVOIDING COMMISSIONS

(APPLICABLE ONLY WHEN SITE BECOMES PAID AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BEFORE THAT)

You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for an enquiry with another member directly (outside of Eprogrammer ) after that enquiry has been created/opened and before that an enquiry has been closed (basically, during an ongoing enquiry).
But this also applies to any enquiry that was closed without a seller being chosen, and then contacting them about the enquiry to supply this service anyway.

Both parties are responsible for notifying Eprogrammer if the payment amount increases (above the bid amount) after the enquiry is closed. Receiving a larger amount than the original enquiry bid, without notifying us, will be considered an attempt to avoid the commissions. When a seller requests a withdrawal, we always review all payments received for each enquiry to verify that they match the bid. If at the time of a withdrawal request the seller has failed to notify Eprogrammer staff of a payment received above the amount of his bid, Eprogrammer reserves the right to deduct double the fee for the amount that should have been reported. We believe our commissions are very fair and justified for the service we provide, therefore we will absolutely not tolerate any such activity on Eprogrammer

BIDDING

Sellers can only place bids that equal the total amount of money they are requesting for the job which must include final project finished price and not per hour price or any other.
This applies to buyers too.
Buyers cannot create an enquiry that directly or indirectly requires service which is more than the project left on eprogrammer as it creates confusion and disputes at later stage.

POSTING AN ENQUIRY

New users are limited to the posting of only 3 enquiries only before being asked to make a deposit. This is meant to protect other users and prevent fraudulent activity. A user is required to deposit any amount of funds before they gain the right to post unlimited enquiries.
It benefits buyers who rarely post projects but if buyer have to use it for frequent buying then you may request higher posting limits, under special circumstances, by simply contacting Eprogrammer

ADVERTISING

You are prohibited from advertising your website on Eprogrammer . Any URL posted in a bid, enquiry description, or the message board, must relate to an enquiry on Eprogrammer and by no means it should divert customers to another site and we reserve the right to outbid or close such enquiry immediately and member's account indulging in this activity will be closed.
