Article 1
To ensure a fair and harmonious business environment on EPWK (intl.epwk.com, hereinafter referred to as "EPWK" or "the Platform"), promote the prosperity of service transactions, protect the legitimate rights and interests of both parties in a transaction, and handle user reports in a just, fair, and transparent manner, these Rules are formulated in accordance with the EPWK Service Agreement.
Article 2
Within these Rules, both Employers and Service Providers (Vendors) are considered EPWK users. Each may be referred to individually as "Employer" or "Vendor" and collectively as "Users" or "both parties". The term "Bounty" refers to the funds an Employer is willing to pay a Vendor for completing a task published on EPWK.
Article 3
The term "EPWK Escrow Transaction" refers to transactions where Employers use the Platform’s escrow service to deposit part or all of the bounty into a dedicated EPWK bank account. Payment is released to the Vendor through the escrow account upon completion of the transaction.
Article 4
These Rules form an integral part of the EPWK Service Agreement and hold equal legal effect. In the event of inconsistencies, these Rules shall prevail.
Article 5
If any provision of these Rules conflicts with local laws or regulations, local laws shall apply. EPWK will handle disputes in accordance with these Rules. Parties may also resolve issues via mutual negotiation or legal channels.
Article 6
You agree that EPWK has the authority to resolve disputes arising from escrow transactions on the Platform. Our dispute resolution is based solely on your authorization. While we commit to handling disputes fairly, transparently, and impartially, EPWK is not a legal authority and evaluates evidence as a neutral third party. We do not guarantee outcomes will meet your expectations and bear no liability for the results of dispute resolution.
Article 7
Any notifications or messages sent by EPWK during the dispute process (via platform system, email, SMS, or phone) shall constitute a valid part of the dispute resolution process.
Article 8
EPWK reserves the right to amend these Rules and will announce any changes on the Platform. If Employers or Vendors disagree with any revisions, they may choose to resolve disputes independently or pursue legal channels.
Article 9
All parties using EPWK for transactions must abide by the Platform's publicly posted rules. Disputes arising from transactions that do not use EPWK's escrow service or occur offline, or those filed beyond the reporting period, will not be accepted by EPWK.
Offline transactions refer to transactions conducted outside the Platform after the Employer and Vendor establish contact.
Users bear full responsibility for any financial loss resulting from offline transactions.
Article 10
If a user violates Platform rules, EPWK may issue corrective action and impose penalties based on the severity of the offense. Penalties may include account restrictions or, for serious offenses, account suspension.
