THESE TERMS OF CONDUCT ARE A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN UPCALL, INC. AND ITS WEB SITE USERS, CUSTOMERS AND FREELANCE CALLERS. BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE WEBSITE OR THE UPCALL SERVICES, OR BY ACTING AS A FREELANCE CALLER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF CONDUCT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE SO BOUND, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE WEB SITE, THE SERVICES, OR PERFORM ANY FREELANCE CALLING SERVICES.

These Terms of Conduct are a set of policies governing the use of the Upcall Platform (as defined below) operated by Upcall, Inc. (“Upcall” or “Company”). It contains specific policies governing use by customers seeking calling or telemarketing services (“Client Users”) and independent contractors who work through Upcall to provide freelance calling services (“Freelance Users,” “Freelancers” or “Upcallers”).
These Terms of Conduct are in addition to the SaaS and Service Agreement for Clients and the Upcall Independent Contractor Agreement for Freelance Users, the terms of each which are solely applicable to the class of users based on the service they are seeking or providing. For more information on your legal obligations, please consult the document applicable to you.
The Upcall Platform is to be used to help Client Users find Freelance Users to serve as calling agents for telemarketing and phone outreach campaigns. The Upcall service (“Services”) provides access to Upcall’s virtual community of Freelancer Users, easy collaboration through Upcall’s management tools; and simple, secure payment and invoicing tools (“Platform”).
Upcall’s Platform is a software platform not a call center nor is it an employment agency. Upcall does not initiate calls or offer call services directly, but brings together a team of freelance, independent contractors to serve the needs of Client Users.. At no point will Upcall be held liable nor is responsible for the actions or omissions of any Freelancer User performing calling services nor does any use of the Services by Client Users imply an endorsement.
Upcall does not make any warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the ability, competence, quality, or qualifications of any Freelancer User.
Freelancer Users are independent professionals who offer to perform calling and outreach services for Customers directly and not for or to Upcall. They are not employees or agents of Upcall, which is merely a software solution for businesses to find and hire callers.
Freelance Users must comply with and provide complete and promptly provide up to date information on the Services at all times. Failure to complete the sign-up process within thirty days of initiating the process will result in accounts not being activated. Further, failure to apply for call campaign opportunities within seven days of completing the registration will result in such accounts not being activated. Freelance Users shall also comply with, and be subject to Upcall’s Freelance User Rules and Policies.
Upcall may remove or terminate any Freelancer User at any time in its sole discretion with or without cause, including without limitation if Freelancer is determined by Upcall to have violated any agreements with Upcall, these Terms of Conduct or any legally permissible, relevant instruction of the Customer on whose behalf the Freelancer is making calls.

Customers may post Call Campaigns through the Service. Freelancer Users may join or accept assignments for the Call Campaigns at their own discretion. Upon acceptance, the scope of a Freelancer User’s representation is strictly limited to the matter agreed upon in the Call Campaign.

Communications requiring confidentiality should take place outside the Upcall Service.
Any Freelancer User must ensure that their services are in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Upcall does not assume responsibility for ensuring that Freelancer’s User meets applicable legal requirements. Rather, Upcall relies primarily on its Customers to ensure that the Call Campaign is compliant. To the extent that Freelancer User makes any of their own compliance decisions, with the consent of the Customer, Freelancer User must comply with the law. Upcall will not assume any liability if Freelancer User or a Customer suffers any loss due to an actual or alleged law violation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Freelancer User acknowledges that Upcall has and is taking active steps to ensure the compliance of its vendors and affiliates, including by having Freelancer User agree to these terms and otherwise.

To the extent allowed by law, Freelancer User shall at all times be a 1099 independent contractor of Upcall, and not of the Customer, and shall not be an employee, co-venturer or co-owner of either. Freelancer shall take all necessary steps to file appropriate tax statements and will cooperate with Customer and Upcall as necessary to facilitate any necessary filings on Freelancer User’s behalf. Freelancer will not work more hours than would be permitted for an independent contractor in the jurisdiction in which Freelancer resides or performs the services.

Freelancer User shall provide Upcall with documentation demonstrating such insurance is in place, upon request.

Upcall may, in its discretion or if requested by the Customer, require Freelancer User to take and pass reasonable tests regarding performance, competency and compliance, but is not responsible for or liable for Upcall Freelancer User behavior or conduct.

Customer will be solely responsible for ensuring that, with respect to their conduct and communications, the work environment is safe and free from harassment and discrimination as required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Upcall does not tolerate discrimination or harassment in violation of the law.
Payment of Freelancer Users. Freelancer Users who accept and perform Call Campaigns through the Service must receive payment through the Service relating to that User. Upcall will terminate a Freelancer User’s access to and use of the Website if such Freelancer User is found to be accepting payment outside the Service for Customers found through the Service.

If a Customer disputes incentive eligibility for a Freelancer User for any reason, Upcall will withhold payment of the incentive, review and make a determination in its sole discretion as regarding eligibility.

Customer’s compliance obligation also includes, without limitation, refraining from initiating any call, text or message for marketing purposes, to any individual on any federal or state DNC list, without express written consent or an established business relationship, as defined by law.

In the case of an ACH Transaction being rejected for Non Sufficient Funds (NSF) Customer understands that Upcall may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again within 30 days, and agree to an additional $15 charge for each attempt returned NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized recurring payment. Customer acknowledges that the origination of ACH transactions to their account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. Customer certifies that they are an authorized user of the credit card/bank account and will not dispute these scheduled transactions with their bank or credit card; so long as the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this Agreement.
