The GME makes the platform available to enable Experts to identify and determine the suitability of Clients for themselves and to enable Clients to identify and determine the suitability of Experts for themselves. The GME does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control any Expert or Expert’s work. In providing the services to Clients, Experts are free to retain and use their own employees and contractors, and Experts have sole control over those individuals GME makes no representations about, and does not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of, the Expert Services; the truth or accuracy of any Expert’s listings on the GME; the qualifications, background, or identities of Users; the ability of Experts to deliver the Expert Services; the ability of Clients to pay for the Expert Services; or that a Client or Expert can or will actually complete a transaction.

When a Client pays an Expert, as required by the applicable payment instructions, Client ( User) will credit the GME who will hold the payment and then pay out the amount to the Expert at the end of the month, less a pre-agreed percentage commission fee as per subscription plan that the GME earns (the “Service Fee”) for creating, hosting, maintaining, and providing the GME Services.

You are responsible for providing your payment details and keeping the information updated. Unless otherwise agreed in writing or stated in any project offer, the Clients are expected to pay your agreed rate only for the time you spend interacting with Clients on projects arranged solely through the GME. A Client will not pay you for preparation time, wait time, or time set aside if a project with the Client does not occur. You may not assign projects or delegate any portion of your work to others (including without limitation to any other employees of your firm) without written consent of the Client.
The GME is not responsible for any non-payment or any continued non-payment of dues, expense reimbursements by the Client.
