Individual Agreements

If a client or an applicant decides to engage with Uptalent, we will enter into an individual agreement outlining the specific terms and conditions in that standard service agreement. These individual agreements will take precedence over any conflicting terms in these general Terms and Conditions.

Independent Contractors; No Professional Services; Licensing

Independent .

Contractors and service providers listed on or engaged through the Website (“Contractors”) are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of Uptalent. Uptalent facilitates introductions between Clients and Contractors but does not supervise or control the professional work of Contractors.

Licensing and Regulated Services.

Contractors are located outside the United States and may not be licensed or authorized to provide regulated engineering, architectural, or other professional services in the United States or in the jurisdiction where services are performed. Clients are solely responsible for verifying whether any Contractor is appropriately licensed, registered, or otherwise authorized to provide the specific professional services required for their project.

Uptalent’s Role.

Uptalent acts only as a connector and marketplace. Uptalent is not an engineering, architecture, design, or other regulated professional services firm and does not provide professional engineering, architectural, or licensed services. Any engagement for professional services will be directly between the Client and the Contractor under a separate individual agreement.

Acknowledgement.

By using the Website or entering into any individual agreement, you acknowledge and agree that Contractors are independent third parties and that Uptalent does not provide regulated professional services. You further acknowledge that you are responsible for verifying Contractor qualifications and licensing prior to engaging them.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  1. As-Is Basis: The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Uptalent makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the website’s operation or the information, content, or materials included on the website.
  2. Limitation of Liability: Uptalent will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use of the website, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages.
  3. Because Contractors are independent third parties and may not be licensed to perform regulated services in all jurisdictions, Uptalent specifically disclaims any responsibility or liability for the professional qualifications, licensing, accuracy, or performance of Contractors; Clients retain responsibility for verifying qualifications and compliance with applicable laws.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Uptalent, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms or any activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the website using your Internet account.

 

Claims Arising from Contractor Services; Defense and Insurance.

(a) Client Indemnity. Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Uptalent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and affiliates (each, an “Uptalent Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, demands, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation and litigation) arising out of or relating to: (i) any services, deliverables, communications, or work product provided by a Contractor to Client; (ii) any claim that Client’s use of Contractor services violated applicable law, professional standards, or licensing requirements; (iii) any claims of professional negligence, malpractice, errors or omissions, breach of contract, or negligence asserted against Client or a Contractor in connection with Contractor-performed services; (iv) any allegation that a Contractor was not licensed, registered, or otherwise authorized to perform regulated services in the applicable jurisdiction; or (v) any intellectual property or third-party claims arising from materials provided by Client to a Contractor or resulting from Contractor-performed work.

(b) Defense Procedure. Uptalent will promptly notify Client in writing of any claim for which an Uptalent Indemnitee seeks indemnification. Client will have the right to assume and control the defense and settlement of any such claim with counsel of its choice, provided that Client may not enter into any settlement that imposes any obligation or admission of liability on an Uptalent Indemnitee without Uptalent’s prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld). Uptalent will cooperate reasonably with Client in the defense and at Client’s expense.

(c) Insurance. Where applicable, Client agrees to maintain appropriate insurance coverage (including, where relevant, professional liability / errors & omissions insurance) in amounts customary for the Client’s industry and sufficient to cover potential claims arising from Contractor-provided services, and to provide proof of such insurance upon Uptalent’s reasonable request.

Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the website will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
