Jobber Terms 1.00

M4JAM PROPRIETARY LIMITED

JOBBER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

             1.     Introduction

1.1   Welcome to the M4JAM software platform that enables the creation and management of mobile networks for micro-jobbers and users (referred to as “the Jobber Platform”). There may be other applications that develop overtime, including the use of the Jobber Platform in conjunction with an e-Wallet facility.

 

1.2   The Jobber Platform is owned and managed by M4JAM PROPRIETARY LIMITED, a South African registered company with registration number 2003/011766/07 with its registered address at 25 Commerce Crescent, Kramerville, Sandton Johannesburg South Africa (“M4JAM”).

 

1.3   M4JAM enables third parties (“Clients”) to make use of the Jobber Platform to create and manage micro-jobs or micro-transactions (“Job Assignments”) that are then made available for acceptance by you as a Jobber.

 

1.4   As a Jobber you will have access to Job Assignments, which you may accept and complete in accordance with terms and conditions attached to the particular Job Assignment. Each Job Assignment constitutes a separate piece of work completed on a work for hire basis.

 

1.5   For your legal protection and ours, we require that you agree to these terms and conditions in order to access the Jobber Platform. The terms and conditions may change overtime as the legal and commercial environment develops. Whenever you access the Jobber Platform you will be deemed to have consented to the then current terms and conditions of use and you will be bound by the terms and conditions in force as at the time of access. Please make sure that you remain up to date on the terms and conditions as available http://www.m4jam.com/jobberTCs

 

1.6   By accessing the Jobber Platform, you agree to the terms and conditions set out herein, from time to time. These terms and conditions regulate your relationship with M4JAM and the Client/s, as the case may be.

 

1.7   You can find the glossary of terms and definitions in the table at the end of this document.

 

2.     Nature of the Relationship

2.1   At all times, You, M4JAM and the Client are independent contracting parties. Nothing in these terms and conditions and/or any Job Assignment or other agreement concluded on the Jobber Platform, is intended or should be construed as creating a contract of employment, a partnership, or a joint venture, either between you and M4JAM on the one hand, and/ or between you and the Client on the other hand.

 

2.2   The consequence of you being an independent contractor and not an employee, is that you are liable for your own tax administration and filings, your own insurances, pension and medical aid. Neither M4JAM nor the Client shall be liable for any tax or employee related contributions and deductions, including, but not limited to PAYE, UIF or disability insurance contributions, or workers’ compensation insurance and the like. Should SARS require by law that M4JAM or the Client withhold any amounts payable to you in respect of taxes, this shall not change the nature of the legal relationship between yourself and M4JAM and/or the Client/s.

 

2.3   As an independent contractor, you are free to work your own hours, have no minimum performance criteria (save for those prescribed in a Job Assignment), can run your own business and/ or be employed and/ or carry out work for others persons in your sole discretion. All remuneration is paid as a Job Fee payable upon accepted performance under a Job Assignment.

5.4   In certain circumstances the nature of the Job Assignment may require that more than one Jobber can accept the Job Assignment but that the completion thereof may be limited as to the number of successful completions that may be allowed and paid for. Accordingly, M4JAM, in its sole discretion, may allow more than one Jobber to accept a Job Assignment. In such circumstances, you accept that, the Jobber/s who first provide/s the required Job Data will be entitled to the Job Fee/s. Furthermore, for a Product Discount, the Job Assignment may only be available for a maximum number of Jobbers, in which case, the first Jobbers who accept and act upon the Jobber Assignment, up to the maximum amount will be entitled to the Product Discount.

      6.     Job Data

6.1   Most often one of the primary components of a Job Assignment is the collection and delivery of Job Data. Accordingly, the terms and conditions related to Job Data are very important. You hereby warrant that all Personal Information and Job Data entered by you onto the Jobber Platform is both true, accurate and complete.

 

6.2   You hereby irrevocably agree that Job Data submitted on the Jobber Platform in response to a Job Assignment, belongs to M4JAM or the Client (as agreed between the two of them) and that you hereby ceded and assign (to the extent necessary in law) all rights in and to the Job Data to M4JAM (or the Client, with M4JAM acting on the Client’s behalf) for no other consideration than the Job Fee and hereby waive any right in and to the Job Data, including all intellectual property rights, title and interest subsisting in or arising in connection with that Job Data.

      7.     Application of Protection of Personal Information Act (4 of 2013) (“POPIA”)

A Jobber must respect the rights of members of the public under POPIA and follow the Job Specification to the letter especially as they relate to obtaining the informed consent of the member of the public. Any failure to comply with the requirement of the POPIA may result in your forfeiting the Job Fee.
