NOMAD NOW EXTORTION POLICY

Ratings and Reviews is a way for Flexi workers and Hirers to achieve more comfort, reliability and accuracy in their choices:

• They assist Flexi workers with their choices of who to provide their services to;
• They assist Hirers with their selections as to which Flexi workers to make use of.

Both Flexi workers and Hirers are able, through Ratings and Reviews (Feedback), to share their experiences with the Nomad Now community. We do not allow misuse of the Feedback process. Any attempt to use Ratings & Reviews to force a user to do anything that they aren’t obligated to do will be deemed a misuse and we do not allow this.

Examples of the applicability of the policy include:

• Users (Flexi workers and Hirers) threatening to use reviews or ratings to influence or force a Flexi workers or Nomad Now to provide a reciprocal positive review, compensation or additional compensation.
• Users requesting the other party to give a positive review or rating, or to revise a review in exchange for a partial or full refund, or reciprocal review. Flexi workers may not offer free or reduced-price services in exchange for the other party revising an existing review.
• Asking the other party to adjust a review in exchange for a resolution of a dispute between the parties.

Nomad Now policy does not prohibit a user from contacting the other party with a problem prior to leaving Feedback.

Feedback may not be edited after it is published.

By posting a Review and Rating your Hirer/Flexi worker, you agree to follow all Nomad Now guidelines and policies, including the Extortion Policy, which Nomad Now may enforce at its sole discretion. In the event of your failure to do so, Nomad Now may restrict, suspend or terminate your Nomad Now account.

If you think you've experienced extortion, please contact us.

In addition, we prohibit:

• Commercial content (eg: advertising for your business).
• Discussions or posts unrelated to Nomad Now community building (eg: Teams devoted to recruitment or agencies or activities involved in or connected to by-passing Nomad Now or using Nomad Now to offer services to their Hirers or associated parties).
• Content that endorses or promotes illegal or harmful activity or violence, or is profane, vulgar, obscene, defamatory, threatening, or discriminatory.
• Political, religious, or social commentary.
• Attempts to impersonate another person or entity.
• Content that refers to a Nomad Now investigation.
• Content that violates another person or entity’s rights, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights. For example, sometimes people use Teams to create local get-togethers or meetings. Make sure that you have permission before publishing another person or company’s real name or other identifying information.

NOTES ON COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Users of Nomad Now must consult their local intellectual property statutory bodies to clarify applicable local laws regarding copyright. A useful starting point in South Africa is the South African CIPC: https://www.cipc.co.za/index.php/trade-marks-patents-designs-copyright/copyright/

This commentary does not constitute legal advice and you must consult your own advisors.

Your use of Nomad Now is governed by our Terms & Conditions (T&C’s), Privacy Policy, and Intellectual Property policy. Failure to follow Nomad Now's policies may result in the termination of your account(s) and/or ability to interact on the Nomad Now Platform.

What Is Copyright?
Copyright is a form of protection provided by applicable law to creators of original works. This mainly applies to the creative categories. The owner of the copyright usually has the exclusive right to use or distribute the work. Violation of these rights is called copyright infringement.

Since this is not a legal document and copyright law is complex, here are a few practical tips (note: these tips do not constitute any form of legal advice and are by no means comprehensive):

• Always assume that work that is not your own is protected by copyright law unless you are able to reliably prove that it is not. This includes images or articles downloaded from the web, even if they are freely available.
• Do not take or borrow anything from the Internet in your work, because it is almost always copyrighted.
• When you use work that is licensed - read the terms of the license. You may not have the ability to use licensed work, even if you paid for it. If your license covers use of the work, be careful to include information regarding the license in the use of the work.
  

Who Owns the Copyright?
On the Nomad Now Platform, Hirers are granted all rights for the work performed in terms of an Order, unless otherwise specified by the Flexi worker on their Profile page and accepted by the Hirer by transacting with the Flexi worker. Some Flexi workers charge additional payments for commercial use of their copyrighted material.

Nomad Now retains the right to use all published Completed works for Nomad Now marketing and promotion purposes.

Can Nomad Now determine copyright ownership?
No. Nomad Now does not mediate in ownership rights disputes. Per our Terms & Conditions and Intellectual Property Policy, we promptly remove any content reported to be infringing, subject to sufficient proof, and remove repeat infringers.

How do I report a claim of copyright infringement?
