Levels

Gigred is all about helping Sellers leverage their skills. We seek to empower top-performing Sellers with helpful tools to grow their business. Sellers who invest in self-promotion may achieve greater customer satisfaction. And, if they deliver on time and maintain high quality and ratings, Gigred may reward them with new statuses, special opportunities, and benefits that come with it.

Gigred Sellers can gain account Levels based on their activity, performance, and reputation. The advancement criteria can be found here.
Advancements in Levels are updated periodically by an automated system.
The current Levels a Seller can achieve are Level 1, 2, and Top Rated.
Sellers who cannot maintain their high-quality service, experience a severe drop in ratings, or stop delivering on time risk losing their Seller status and the benefits that come with it. For example, late deliveries, warnings to the Seller's account, and cancellations can cause a Seller to move to a different Level.
Advanced levels provide their owners additional benefits, including offering Gigs for higher prices through Gig Extras or selling their Gig in multiples.

Top Rate Sellers

Top Rated Sellers are chosen manually by Gigred editors through an ongoing review process based on seniority, volume of sales, extremely high ratings, exceptional customer care, high order completion rate, and community leadership. Some categories' eligibility criteria may require sellers to complete mandatory tests or other verification steps. Top Rated Sellers gain access to more extensive features than previous levels, including exclusive access to beta features and VIP support.
Top-rated eligibility is constantly evaluated by Gigred to ensure that the quality standards and expectations of the top-rated selection are kept. Gigred retains the right to change a Top Rated Seller status in light of such evaluation. In addition, Top Rated Sellers who cannot maintain their high-quality service through a severe drop in ratings, stop delivering on time, increased cancellation rate, or violate our Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards also risk losing their top Rated status and the benefits that come with it.

Seller Features

Gigred Sellers have access to several exclusive features that help customize how their services can be offered.

Custom Offer

Sellers can also send Custom Offers addressing the specific requirements of a Buyer.
Custom Offers are defined by the Seller with the exact description of the service, the price, and the time expected to deliver the service.
Custom Offers are sent from the conversation page.
Services provided through Custom Offers may not violate Gigred's Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards.

Project Milestones

Gig and Custom Offers above $100 may include up to six project milestones. The minimum amount for each milestone is $50, and the project should include at least two milestones. Each milestone is paid and delivered separately under each Gig or Custom Offer's description and timelines.
Once a milestone is delivered and marked as completed, Buyers may choose to either continue with the Order and pay for the next milestone or to stop the Order. Buyer needs to pay for the next milestone within 5 days of acceptance of previous milestones so the Order under the next milestones will start. A milestone will be automatically marked as complete if no acceptance or request for modification is submitted within 4 days after being marked as Delivered. However, in such a case, all further milestones will not start.

Gig Subscriptions

Sellers may offer Buyers a fixed term subscription for a specific Gig (the "Gig Subscription"). During the Gig Subscription term, the Seller will deliver one Order of the same Gig on a recurring basis, as agreed between the Seller and Buyer.
Buyers may cancel future Orders under the Gig Subscription before payment is made for such future Orders. In such case, the Orders under the Gig Subscription will be canceled, as applicable. Once payment is made, Gigred's Order Cancelation policy under the Payment Terms will apply.
Sellers may cancel the Gig Subscription 10 days before the next consecutive Order. Otherwise, Gigred's Order Cancelation policy under the Payment Terms will apply.

Shipping Physical Deliverables

Some of the services on Gigred are delivered physically (arts and crafts, collectible items, etc.). For these types of Gigs, Sellers may decide to define a shipping pricing factor.

Gigs with a shipping pricing factor must have physical deliverables sent to Buyers.
Shipping costs added to a Gig only pertain to the cost Sellers require to ship physical items to Buyers.
Buyers who purchase Gigs that require physical delivery will be asked to provide a shipping address.
Sellers are responsible for all shipping arrangements once the Buyer provides the shipping address.
Gigred does not handle or guarantee shipping, tracking, quality, and condition of items or their delivery and shall not be responsible or liable for any damages or other problems resulting from shipping.
A tracking number is a great way to avoid disputes related to shipping. If available, we require entering the tracking number in the Order Page when delivering your work.

Buyers

Basics

You may only offer direct payments to Sellers using payment systems outside of the Gigred platform.
Gigred retains the right to use all publicly published works for Gigred marketing and promotional purposes.
Buyers may request a specific service from the Post a Project feature. Services requested on Gigred must be allowed service on Gigred. Users should only use the Post a Project feature other than looking for services on Gigred.

Purchasing

Please refer to the Payment Terms for making Payments through the Gigred platform and to learn about fees and taxes.
In addition, Buyers can request a Custom Order which addresses specific Buyer requirements, and receive a Custom Offer from Sellers through the Site.
You may only offer Sellers to pay or make payments using the Gigred Platform. If you have been asked to use an alternative payment method, please report it immediately to Customer Support here.

Orders

Basics

Once payment is confirmed, your Order will be created and given a unique Gigred order number.
Sellers must deliver completed files and/or proof of work using the Deliver Work button (located on the Order page) according to the service purchased and advertised on their Gig.
The Deliver Work button may not be abused by Sellers to circumvent Order guidelines described in these Terms of Service. Using the "Deliver Work" button when an Order was not fulfilled may result in a cancellation of that Order after review, affect the Seller's rating, and result in a warning to the Seller.
An Order is marked as Complete after it is marked as Delivered and then accepted by a Buyer. An Order will be automatically marked as Complete if not accepted and no request for modification was submitted within 2 days after the Order was marked as Delivered.
An Order is marked as Complete after it is marked as Delivered and then accepted by a Buyer. An Order will be automatically marked as Complete if not accepted and no request for modification was submitted within 2 days after the Order was marked as Delivered. The Buyer may extend such period by up to 4 additional days.
We encourage our Buyers and Sellers to settle conflicts amongst themselves. If, for any reason, this fails after using the Resolution Center or if you encounter non-permitted usage on the Site, users can contact Gigred's Customer Support department for assistance here. Please refer to the Payment Terms for more information about disputes, Order cancellations, and refunds.
A milestone (on an Order with milestones) is marked as Complete after it is delivered by the Seller and then accepted by the Buyer. A milestone will be automatically marked as complete if no acceptance or request for modification is submitted within 4 days after being marked as Delivered. However, the Order will be stopped in such a case, and all further milestones will not start. Once a milestone is delivered and accepted, Buyers may choose to either continue with the Order and pay for the next milestone or to stop the Order. Buyer needs to pay for the next milestone within 5 days of acceptance of previous milestones so the Order under the next milestones will start. Please note that if you choose to stop the future milestones, the current ordered milestone will continue.
Buyers may purchase a Gig Subscription if available on the Seller's Gig page. During the Gig Subscription term, a new Order of the same Gig will be automatically created on a recurring basis, as agreed between the Seller and Buyer. By purchasing a Gig Subscription, you authorize us to automatically charge you for each Order under the Gig Subscription from your Gigred Balance or saved payment method, as applicable. If you do not have any Gigred Balance or a saved payment method, you will be requested to approve the payment before the next Order. If payment is not processed or made by the Buyer, the Orders under the Gig Subscription will be canceled for any other reason. Buyer may also cancel future Orders under the Gig Subscription before payment is made for such future Orders. Once payment is made, Gigred's Order Cancelation policy under the Payment Terms will apply. Please note that Sellers can cancel future Orders under the Gig Subscription 7 days before the next consecutive Order.
Certain Gigs that offer local services might require Buyers and Sellers to meet in person for the Seller to perform the service. In such cases, users should note that Gigred does not guarantee the Buyer's or Seller's behavior, conduct, safety, suitability, or ability. Both Buyers and Sellers agree that the entire risk arising from their meeting and/or their use or performance of local services remains solely with them. Gigred has no responsibility or liability related to any local services provided by the Sellers. If the service is performed on the Buyer's premises, the Buyer is encouraged to maintain proper insurance policies to cover their liability as the Premise Owner. Gigred's Terms of Service and Community Standards apply to Orders performed outside of the marketplace (including, among others, the below restrictions on Unlawful Use, Inappropriate Behavior and language, and Targeted Abuse).

Handling Orders

When a Buyer orders a Gig, the Seller is notified by email as well as notifications on the Site while logged into the account.
Sellers are required to meet the delivery time they specified when creating their Gigs. Failing to do so will allow the Buyer to cancel the Order when an Order is marked as late and may harm the Seller's status.
Sellers must send completed files and/or proof of work using the Deliver Completed Work button (located on the Order page) to mark the Order as Delivered.
Users are responsible for scanning all transferred files for viruses and malware. Gigred will not be held responsible for any damages that might occur due to site usage, use of Content, or files transferred.
Buyers may use the "Request Revisions" feature located on the Order Page. At the same time, an Order is marked as Delivered if the delivered materials do not match the Seller's description on their Gig page or they do not match the requirements sent to the Seller at the beginning of the order process.

Reviews

Reviews provided by Buyers are an essential part of Gigred's rating system. To learn more about Gigred's review system, please see here.
Reviews will only be removed if there are clear violations of our Terms of Service and/or Community Standards.
To prevent misuse of our review system, all reviews must come from legitimate and eligible orders, as further detailed here. Purchases arranged, determined to artificially enhance Seller ratings, or abuse the Gigred platform will permanently suspend all related accounts.
Withholding the delivery of services, files, or information required to complete the Gig's service with the intent to gain favorable reviews or additional services is prohibited. Sellers may refrain from soliciting the removal of feedback reviews from their Buyers through mutual cancellations.
Once both Seller and Buyer have completed their reviews, or the applicable review period has passed, all posted reviews are made public.
Work Samples are added to a Seller's Live Portfolio on their Gig page if the Buyer chooses to publish the Work Sample while providing a public feedback review. Work Samples are the delivered images and videos sent to a Buyer in a delivery message.

Disputes and Cancellations

We encourage our Buyers and Sellers to settle conflicts amongst themselves. If, for any reason, this fails after using the Resolution Center or if you encounter non-permitted usage on the Site, users can contact Gigred's Customer Support department for assistance here.

By uploading to or creating content on the Gigred platform, you represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power and/or authority necessary to use and/or upload such content and that such content or the use thereof in the Site does not and shall not (a) infringe or violate any intellectual property, proprietary or privacy, data protection or publicity rights of any third party; (b) violate any applicable local, state, federal and international laws, regulations and conventions; and/or (c) violate any of your or third party's policies and/or terms of service.

Ownership

When purchasing a Gig on Gigred, unless clearly stated otherwise on the Seller's Gig page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyright in the work delivered from the Seller. The Seller waives any and all moral rights therein. Accordingly, the Seller assigns the Buyer the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer shall be subject to full payment for the Gig, and the delivery may not be used if payment is canceled for any reason. For removal of doubt, in custom-created work (such as artwork, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work and its copyright shall be the exclusive property of the Buyer and, upon delivery, the Seller agrees that it thereby, according to these Terms of Service, assigns all right, title and interest in and to the delivered work to the Buyer. Some Gigs (including for custom-created work) charge additional payments (through Gig Extras) for a Commercial Use License. If you purchase the Gig for personal use, you will own all the rights you require and will not need the Commercial Use License. If you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business or other undertaking intended for profit, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a Gig Extra and will have broader rights that cover your business use.
