Welcome to PaperWeight!
This website is comprised of various web pages operated by FATbit. Paperweight is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the "Terms"). Your use of Paperweight constitutes your agreement to all such Terms.
Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.
About Paperweight
Paperweight is a work marketplace.
Paperweight is a work marketplace platform built to bridge the gap between businesses and writers. Businesses (employers) can easily post jobs based on their requirements and writers can bid on these jobs. A single job can get several bids that are placed by different writers (one writer can bid only once on a job).
Employers can review the bids, select the best ones, chat with them, negotiate terms, hire the best writer, and start the project. Once the writer is done with the project, they can submit the work and wait for the employer's response.
The task is considered completed based on mutual discussion and understanding between the employer and writer. And with this, the task can be marked as completed. When a task is completed, the payment discussed initially will be released and given to the writer. A small platform fee is deducted from this amount before the writer gets the payment.
Electronic Communications
Sending emails to Paperweight constitutes electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email, and on the site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
Your Account
If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password.
You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that Paperweight is not responsible for third-party access to your account that results from theft or misappropriation of your account.
Paperweight and its associates reserve the
right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit
content at our sole discretion.
Children Under Thirteen
Paperweight does not knowingly collect, either online or
offline, personal information from persons under the age of thirteen. If you
are under 18, you may use paperweight only with the permission of a
parent or guardian.
Cancellation/Refund
Policy
Both parties can cancel their contract at any time. However, each of them will be required to leave feedback for the other party. The amount in escrow will only be released back to the employer after a waiting period of 7 to 10 days, to ensure that no one is being mistreated and misused.
In case a writer has already completed the work and the employer cancels the contract just to avoid paying the writer, the writer can raise a dispute regarding the same with our support team. For questions please contact info@paperweight.com
