You also acknowledge that any future engagement between the Freelancer and the Enterprise beyond the original SoW even if the same has been entered into by and between the parties outside the BeGig website/ ecosystem will continue to be governed by the terms of this Agreement for a period of 3 years from the date on which the first Service Contract through BeGig was signed.
9.2 COMMUNICATING THROUGH THE SITE; NOT SHARING CONTACT DETAILS
For purposes of the Terms of Service “Means of Direct Contact” means any information that would allow another person to contact you directly, including, without limitation, phone number, email address, physical address, a link to a contact form or form requesting contact information, any link to an applicant management system or means to submit a proposal or application outside of the Site, or any information that would enable a user to contact you on social media or other website or platform or application that includes a communications tool, such as Skype, Zoom, Webex, or Facebook. For the avoidance of doubt, information is a Means of Direct Contact if it would enable another user to identify any of the information above through other sources, such as going to a website that included an email address or identifying you on social media, such as through Facebook or LinkedIn.
Users agree to use the communication services available on the Site to communicate with other Users prior to entering into a Service Contract. You agree that prior to entering into a Service Contract and at the stage of negotiation pertaining to SoW you (a) will use BeGig as the sole manner to communicate with other Users; (b) will not provide your Means of Direct Contact to any other User or another person that you identified or were identified by through the Site; (c) will not use Means of Direct Contact of another user to attempt to or to communicate with, solicit, contact, or find the contact information of a User outside of BeGig; (d) will not ask for, provide, or attempt to identify through public means the contact information of another User; and (e) you will not include any Means of Direct Contact or means by which your contact information could be discovered in any profile, proposal, job posting, invitation, or pre-hire communication through the Site’s communications services (including in each case in any attached file), except as otherwise provided on the Site.
You acknowledge and agree that a violation of any provision of this Section 9.2 is a material breach of the Terms of Service. Your Account may be permanently suspended if you violate this Section 9.2.
9.3 Enterprise acknowledges that BeGig has the right to blacklist the Enterprise and seek appropriate damages as well as injunctive reliefs in case it circumvents any of the terms under Section 9.1 and 9.2 of this Agreement.
10. RECORDS OF COMPLIANCE
Users will each (a) create and maintain records to document satisfaction of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, their respective payment obligations and compliance with tax laws, and (b) provide copies of such records to BeGig upon request. Nothing in this subsection requires or will be construed as requiring BeGig to supervise or monitor a user’s compliance with this Agreement, the other Terms of Service, or a Service Contract. You are solely responsible for creation, storage, and backup of your business records. This Agreement and any registration for or subsequent use of the Site will not be construed as creating any responsibility on BeGig’s part to store, backup, retain, or grant access to any information or data for any period.
11. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

15. AGREEMENT TERM AND TERMINATION
15.1 TERM AND TERMINATION
These Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect till the time you use the Site and Site Services. Unless both you and BeGig expressly agree otherwise, in writing, either of us may terminate this Agreement in our sole discretion, at any time, without explanation, upon written to the other, which will result in the termination of the Terms of Service, except as otherwise provided herein. You may provide written notice to legal@begig.io. In the event you properly terminate this Agreement, your right to use the Site and Site Services is automatically revoked, and your Account will be closed. BeGig is not a party to any Service Contract between Users. Consequently, User understands and acknowledges that termination of this Agreement (or attempt to terminate this Agreement) does not terminate or otherwise impact any Service Contract or Gig entered into between Users. If you attempt to terminate this Agreement while having one or more open Gigs, you agree (a) you hereby instruct BeGig to close any open Gig; (b) you will continue to be bound by this Agreement and the Terms of Service until all such Gigs have been closed on the Site; (c) BeGig will continue to perform those Site Services necessary to complete any open Gig or related transaction between you and another User; and (d) you will continue to be obligated to pay any amounts accrued but unpaid as of the date of termination or as of the closure of any open Service Contracts, whichever is later, to BeGig for any Site Services or such other amounts owed under the Terms of Service.
Without limiting BeGig’s other rights or remedies, we may, but are not obligated to, temporarily or indefinitely revoke or limit access to the Site or Site Services, deny your registration, or permanently revoke your access to the Site and refuse to provide any or all Site Services to you if: (i) you breach the letter or spirit of any terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other provisions of the Terms of Service; (ii) we suspect or become aware that you have provided false or misleading information to us; (iii) we believe, in our sole discretion, that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our Users, or BeGig or our Affiliates; may be contrary to the interests of the Site or the User community; or may involve illicit or illegal activity; or (iv) we are required to by law, legal process, or law enforcement. If your Account is temporarily or permanently closed, you may not use the Site under the same Account or a different Account or re-register under a new Account without BeGig’s prior written consent.
You acknowledge and agree that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site depend on transparency of User’s Account status to all Users, including both yourself and other Users who have entered into Service Contracts with you. You therefore agree as follows: IF BEGIG DECIDES TO TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, BEGIG HAS THE RIGHT WHERE ALLOWED BY LAW BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION TO: (A) NOTIFY OTHER USERS THAT HAVE ENTERED INTO SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH YOU TO INFORM THEM OF YOUR CLOSED ACCOUNT STATUS, (B) PROVIDE THOSE USERS WITH A SUMMARY OF THE REASONS FOR YOUR ACCOUNT CLOSURE. YOU AGREE THAT BEGIG WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY NOTICE THAT IT MAY PROVIDE TO ANY USER REGARDING CLOSED ACCOUNT STATUS OR THE REASON(S) FOR THE CLOSURE.
15.2 ACCOUNT DATA ON CLOSURE
Except as otherwise required by law, if your Account is closed for any reason, you will no longer have access to data, messages, files, or other material you keep on the Site and any closure of your Account may involve deletion of any content stored in your Account for which BeGig will have no liability whatsoever. BeGig, in its sole discretion and as permitted or required by law, may retain some or all of your Account information.
15.3 SURVIVAL
After this Agreement terminates, the terms of this Agreement and the other Terms of Service that expressly or by their nature contemplate performance after this Agreement terminates or expires will survive and continue in full force and effect. For example, the provisions permitting audits, protecting intellectual property, indemnification, payment of fees, reimbursement and setting forth limitations of liability, by their nature, contemplate performance or observance after this Agreement terminates. Without limiting any other provisions of the Terms of Service, the termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release you or BeGig from any obligations incurred prior to termination of this Agreement or that thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination.

You and BeGig then will seek informal voluntary resolution of the Claim. Any Notice must include pertinent account information, a brief description of the Claim, and contact information, so that you or BeGig, as applicable, may evaluate the Claim and attempt to informally resolve the Claim. Both you and BeGig will have 60 days from the date of the receipt of the Notice to informally resolve the other party’s Claim, which, if successful, will avoid the need for further action.

The seat and venue of the arbitration shall be New Delhi. The Arbitral Tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English, and all documents submitted to the arbitration shall be in their original form together with any English translations.
