Payment will occur after the successful completion of a Job within the Payment Period included on the Job Profile and you will be sent a tax invoice for that payment.

Your payment is processed by electronic funds transfer.

You acknowledge and agree that if you cancel a Job you will not be entitled to the Talent Service Fee.

Talent Relationship with the Client

As Talent, you will at all times perform your obligations and provide your services to the Client as an independent contractor and not in the capacity of an employee, partner or agent or in any other capacity.
