Sellers

Basics

  • Each task you sell and successfully deliver, accredits your account with a net revenue of % of the listed amount.
  • Buyers pay Paraplanner for orders after completion.
  • Paraplanner accredits sellers once an order is completed. See “Work Delivery & Communications” below for a definition of a completed order.
  • Sellers are paid after fees are collected by Paraplanner.
  • If an order is cancelled (for any reason), no fees will be paid.
  • Sellers may have their payments paid to an Australian bank account or via a credit card payment page only.
  • A seller’s rating is calculated based on feedback reviews received from buyers.

Seller Statuses

  • Paraplanner 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, Paraplanner may reward them with bonuses, special opportunities, benefits, and tools that come with it.

Handling Orders

  • When a buyer orders a task, the seller is notified by email as well as notifications on the site while logged in to your account.
  • Sellers are required to meet the delivery time they specified when creating their tasks. Failing to do so will allow the buyer to cancel the order and may harm the seller’s rating.
  • Both buyers and sellers have the option to cancel an order by mutual agreement. Mutual cancellations have no negative effect on rating or the sellers cancellation rate.
  • Unanswered mutual cancellation requests will automatically be accepted after 48 hours, while reducing the non-responding user’s rating.
  • A Seller may cancel an order without the buyer’s consent at any given moment (Force Cancellation) However, this will have a negative effect on the seller’s rating.

Staying out of Trouble

  • To protect our users’ privacy, user identities must be kept anonymous. Requesting or providing Email addresses, Skype/IM usernames, telephone numbers or any other personal contact details (other than your name) to communicate outside of the Paraplanner network is not permitted.
  • All communications, information and file exchanges must be performed exclusively using Paraplanner’s secure workspace system.
  • Users may receive a warning to their account for violations of our Terms of Service or any user misconduct reported to our Policy Enforcement team. If a user receives a warning, they are notified of the violation immediately on the Site. Warnings do not limit account activity, but can lead to your account becoming permanently disabled based on the severity of the violation.
  • Posting or sending adult, illegal, rude, abusive, improper, copyright protected, promotional, spam, violent, nonsense or any uncool stuff is strictly prohibited. Doing so will get your account disabled permanently.

Work Delivery & Communications

  • You are responsible for scanning all transferred files for viruses and malware. Paraplanner will not be held responsible for any damages which might occur due to site usage, use of content or files transferred.
  • Sellers must deliver completed files and/or proof of work using the secure workspace provided.
  • Responding and posting a review: Once work is delivered, the buyer has three days to respond and post a review. If no response is provided within the response time, the order will be considered completed.
  • Feedback reviews provided by buyers while completing an order are an essential part of Paraplanner’s rating system. Reviews demonstrate the buyer’s overall experience with their seller. Buyers are encouraged to communicate to the seller any concerns experienced during their active order in regards to the service provided by the seller. Our Customer Support team can help review any cases of misconduct experienced in a Paraplanner order.
  • Leaving a buyer’s feedback is a basic prerogative of a buyer. Feedback reviews will not be removed unless there are clear violations to our Terms of Service.
  • To prevent any misuse of our Feedback system, all feedback reviews given to a Seller must come from legitimate sales executed exclusively through the Paraplanner platform from users within our Community. Any purchases arranged from services outside of Paraplanner to enhance your ratings or to abuse the Paraplanner platform using fraudulent purchases will result in a permanent suspension of the seller’s account.

Buyers

Ownership and Limitations (Legal Stuff, yuck…)

Ownership and limitations: unless clearly stated otherwise in the task description text, when the work is delivered, the buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyrights for the work delivered from the seller and the seller waives any and all moral rights therein. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work shall be the exclusive property of buyer. The seller expressly agrees to assign to buyer the copyright in any delivered work that do not meet the requirements of a work-for-hire under the Australian Copyright Act. Additionally, independent of the Australian Copyright Act, the seller agrees that unless indicated otherwise in the task description, once the order is completed the seller assigns along with it to the buyer, to the fullest extent possible under the law, all of its rights, title and interest, if any, in and to the delivered work and waives any and all moral rights in connection therewith. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to buyer shall be subject to full payment for the task.

Sellers further confirm that whatever information they receive from the buyer, which is not public domain, shall not be used for any purpose whatsoever other than for the delivery of the work to the buyer.

Furthermore, users (both buyers and sellers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Paraplanner, including task texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Paraplanner for no consideration for marketing and/or other purposes.

Reported violating content may be removed or disabled. Furthermore, Paraplanner is not responsible for the content, quality or the level of service provided by the Sellers. We provide no warranty with respect to the tasks, their delivery, and any communications between buyers and sellers. We encourage users to take advantage of our rating system, our community and common sense in choosing appropriate task service offers.

By offering a service, the seller undertakes that he has sufficient permissions, rights and/or licenses to provide, sell or resell the service that they offer on Paraplanner.

Sellers advertising their task online must comply with laws and terms of service of the advertising platform or relevant website used to advertise. Failing to do so may result in removal of the task and may lead to the suspension of seller’s account.
