Introduction

This website (MarineHub) provides a platform for individuals seeking contract work ("Contractors") to connect with companies and individuals seeking to hire contractors ("Clients"). This Agreement governs the terms under which the Website provides its services.

Services

The Website allows Contractors to create profiles, search for contract opportunities posted by Clients, and apply for such opportunities. The Website allows Clients to post contract opportunities and review and manage applications received. The Website does not vet Contractors or Clients. The Website merely provides a venue for the parties to connect.

Limitation of Liability

The Website is not involved in the actual transactions between Contractors and Clients. As such, the Website is not responsible or liable for any issues arising in relation to the performance, terms, payment, or fulfillment of any contract between a Contractor and Client, including but not limited to:

• Travel, transportation, or relocation required for the contract work
• Workplace injuries, accidents, or death occurring during the contract work
• Sickness or illness occurring during or related to the contract work
• Non-payment, underpayment, or late payment by the Client
• Any other failure or complication in the contractual relationship

Additionally, the Website is not responsible or liable for any harmful, unlawful, or problematic conduct by any Client using the platform, including but not limited to financial fraud, misrepresentation, discrimination, harassment, or other misconduct.

Offers

Any offer made by a Client and accepted by a Contractor through the Website constitutes a negotiation between the parties. The Website does not represent that the offer and acceptance form a legally binding contract. Any legal obligations, rights, or responsibilities created by such transactions are between the Client and Contractor and are outside the Website’s purview.

Contract Terms

The Website is not responsible for establishing, enforcing, or providing advice on the terms of the contracts entered into between Contractors and Clients. All agreements, including work terms, payments, and deadlines, must be negotiated and agreed upon directly between the Client and Contractor. The Website disclaims any responsibility for the performance or fulfillment of any contract.

Electronic Acceptance

Contractors and Clients acknowledge that offers and acceptances made electronically through the Website may have legal significance. However, it is the responsibility of the parties to ensure they understand the legal consequences of such actions. The Website does not guarantee the formation of a legally binding contract as a result of the acceptance of an offer through the platform.

Dispute Resolution

The Website is not responsible for resolving disputes between Contractors and Clients. Any disputes must be resolved directly between the parties. The Website may, at its discretion, suspend or terminate the accounts of users involved in disputes or misconduct.

Client and Contractor Responsibilities

Clients are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of job offers and for honoring any accepted offers. Contractors are solely responsible for evaluating the terms of any offers and for performing any work according to the agreed-upon terms. The Website disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or enforceability of any offer, acceptance, or agreement between the parties.

Compliance with Local Laws

It is the responsibility of both Contractors and Clients to comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, including those related to taxation, employment, and contracting. The Website assumes no responsibility for ensuring compliance with any legal obligations.

Disclaimer

The Website provides the venue for Contractors and Clients to connect for contract opportunities, but is not involved in and disclaims any liability related to the actual relationships formed. Users proceed at their own risk. The Website does not make any representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the job postings on the site. The Website makes no guarantees regarding the availability of contract work, the awarding of contracts, the acceptance of offers, or the payment of contractors. The Website disclaims any liability related to missed opportunities, non-payment, or other contractual failures between parties.
