7. Disputes
GOPIEN encourage our Freelancers/Sellers and Buyers to try and resolve any disagreements between themselves. However, should that not be possible GOPIEN Customer Services can provide Dispute resolution.
A Dispute can be raised:
•   by the Freelancer/Sellers manually after a Buyer has rejected an invoice;
Disputes are available to Freelancers that have qualified as trusted members of the GOPIEN community.
For Invoice Disputes specifically, the amounts taken into consideration for the Dispute are the lower of the escrow balance or invoice amount.
GOPIEN may reach out to both parties in order to mediate and try and bring the Dispute to resolution.
GOPIEN will aim to make a resolution decision on behalf of both parties within seven (7) days. If a mutual resolution has already been agreed between both parties on the workstream, then the dispute will either be cancelled or resolved in line with the mutual agreement.
In the event of having to make a resolution decision, GOPIEN will use only the communication in the chat message system as sole evidence, and consider:
•   if both parties are acting in good faith and have tried to resolve the issue between themselves before contacting us, including at least a second attempt made between both parties to complete or rectify the project;
•   if the product/service was delivered (or the milestone was met, if the Dispute is for a milestone payment) in accordance with the terms in Section 3;
•   for Disputes concerning the quality of the work delivered: GOPIEN will consider whether the Freelancer/Seller has met general quality standards. Assessments on quality i) down to perceived taste, or ii) requiring specialist technical or subject matter expertise, will not form part of the resolution decision;
•   if the Buyer and Freelancer/Seller have complied with these terms and conditions.
•   In the event of having to make a resolution decision on behalf of the parties, GOPIEN will notify both parties within fourteen (14) days of the Dispute. The disputed funds shall be dealt with in accordance with the resolution decision and these terms and conditions. Our involvement with the Dispute ends once the resolution in relation to the Dispute has been communicated
Users agree and accept that any payments and/or other actions made by GOPIEN in accordance with the resolution decision of a Dispute are made in good faith and Users shall have no cause of action against GOPIEN (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) in respect of the resolution decision or any such actions or payments made pursuant to it. Users further agree and accept that they have no right to seek to hold GOPIEN liable for a Buyer or Freelancer/Seller’s alleged actions or failures.

8. Payments

Gopien acts as an Agent of Payment between the Buyer and Freelancer/seller. In return for full invoice payment by the Buyer for the product/service, Gopien agrees to discharge the Buyers obligations relating to debts owed to the Freelancer under this agreement. Gopien agrees to make such funds available to the seller/Freelancer available balance the moment buyer approve delivery of service/product, subject to fraud an AML procedures. Freelancers/sellers are then able to withdraw those funds subject to the setting up of a valid withdrawal account. Gopien takes its obligations to prevent fraud and money laundering seriously and reserves the right to delay payments to Freelancers/sellers if fraud or money laundering is suspected.All payments for work completed must go via Gopien unless Gopien has given its express written permission otherwise in relation to a specific payment or invoice; attempts to pay outside of Gopien will lead to sanctions not limited to immediate account suspension. Users must immediately report to Gopien any offers to pay outside of Gopien made by their Buyer or Freelancer/seller

8.1 For services, the Freelancer/Seller must not request a release of funds from the Escrow Account prior to service completion or product delivery; the purpose of funds being held in the Escrow Account is to provide the Freelancer/Seller with the security needed for them to undertake the work. Buyers must report such cases immediately. In such cases the Freelancer/Seller's account may be temporarily or permanently suspended.
Regular payments may be made utilizing the Auto Pay feature. GOPIEN provides this facility solely to simplify the payment process. Use of this facility does not alter the nature of the relationship between GOPIEN and its Users or between Buyers and Freelancers/Sellers.
All payments between Buyer and Seller/Freelancer must be processed through GOPIEN, both for product/service sourced on GOPIEN and for any follow-on work between the Buyer and Freelancer/Seller, either for the same service/product or another. A Freelancer/Seller may seek express written permission from GOPIEN to allow payment by alternative means for a specific invoice or payment if the Freelancer/Seller intends to issue proceedings or pursue legal action against the Buyer.
Payment (or attempt of) outside of GOPIEN is a breach of these terms and conditions unless the prior express written consent of GOPIEN has been obtained. Such payment (or attempt of) and will lead to temporary and/ or permanent suspension of the Buyer and/ or Freelancer/Seller's account. The Freelancer/Seller will be liable for any loss of business and legal expenses that GOPIEN may incur in recovering it. GOPIEN reserve the right to sanction funds held in the Freelancer/Seller's Account in order to recover lost fees. Moreover, GOPIEN will not mediate any Disputes or be liable to either the Buyer or Freelancer/seller's loss of business as a result of violation of this clause. Users must report attempts or offers to make payment outside of GOPIEN by their Buyer or Freelancer/Seller to GOPIEN immediately.
Payments by Buyers are routinely checked by GOPIEN for fraud prevention purposes, before any payments are released to the Freelancer/Seller. GOPIEN aim to process these payments and credit funds to the Freelancer/Seller's GOPIEN User Account wallet within three (3) working days, however GOPIEN reserve the right to take up to ten (10) working days.
To withdraw funds from their GOPIEN User Account, a Freelancer/Seller needs to request a withdrawal on an authorized withdrawal account. An authorized withdrawal account can be either:
a)    a bank account under the user's name as registered on his profile
b)    a Paypal account with the same name and email address as registered on the user's profile
c)    a mobile money account with the same name as registered on the user's profile and an email address that has been verified by the user
GOPIEN process payments daily and will send the money to the Freelancer/Seller via their selected payment preference. Once GOPIEN has processed payments, they are then subject to timescales imposed by the banking clearing system in each country
For security reasons, GOPIEN reserves the right to request additional information from Buyers and Freelancers/Seller, including original documents, and to verify documents with issuing institutions. Therefore, we reserve the right to request the following proofs of identity:
• a copy of a Government issued ID (Passport, Driver's License or National ID Card);
•    a copy of a recent utility bill showing your name and address (less than 3 months old);
For credit/debit card users (one of the following):
•    a copy of the front and back of the card used. For Security Compliance we recommend that you blank out the central 8 digits of the card number digits, and the last three digits from the number on the back;

•   PayPal Account statement showing your PayPal registered name, email address and verification status along with any relevant transactions.
For international Bank transfers, credit to the beneficiary may be delayed by factors such as local bank holidays, delays by an intermediary bank or other local conditions. Please note that some countries have been designated as “slow-to-pay” countries, and transfers made to those countries may take several days or even weeks in crediting the receiving account.

9. Protection for Buyers
Gopien gives buyer full control over purchased goods and services on the platform. This means, when buyer make a payment for any product, seller does not get paid until buyer has approved delivery of a product or service.
Additionally, when seller deliver, buyer has the right to approve delivery or cancel and request for a refund if the quality of product or service is not as expected.
But the refund will be less 13% of total amount paid including the transaction fees. The 13% covers transaction costs, platform charges and referrers’ commissions.We therefore, advice buyers to always first communicate and agree with seller through the chat message system before making a payment. The chat message system helps both the buyer and seller to have a history of the conversations made before the buyer decided to make a payment for a product or service and also helps us to decide on who is right or wrong between the buyer/seller

They determine the terms and conditions of “products/projects”, including deliverables, any specific requirements, and for “product/projects” the price, directly between them. The Buyer and Seller/Freelancer create a direct service contract between themselves and GOPIEN are not party to that contract ('the Service/purchase Contract').

in each case for the whole term including any renewals, reversions, replacements, revivals and extensions and together with all related rights and powers arising or accrued, including the right to bring, make, oppose, defend, appeal and obtain relief (and to retain any damages recovered) in respect of any infringement, or any other cause of action arising from ownership, of any of these assigned rights, whether occurring before, on, or after the date of Commencement of the project.

b) you are not in breach of any applicable laws, rules or regulations or obligations to any other person;
