1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account on lucidping.com ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our")
and clicking "I agree," you enter into a binding legal agreement with us and confirm you are
at least 16 years of age. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.
2. Description of Service
lucidping.com is a remote startup and opportunity marketplace that connects
founders with contributors, developers, designers, and other professionals. We provide:
- A platform for listing and discovering startup, project, and collaboration opportunities.
- Application and recruitment tools for managing candidates.
- Profile and portfolio pages for contributors to showcase their work.
- Communication tools including notifications and invite systems.
3. User Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
You must not share your password, use another person's account, or create accounts for others
without their explicit permission. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.
You may only create one account per person. Duplicate, fake, or bot accounts are prohibited
and may be removed without notice.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Platform to:
- Post fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive listings.
- Harvest or scrape user data, email addresses, or profile information.
- Send unsolicited commercial communications (spam).
- Impersonate any person, company, or legal entity.
- Circumvent security measures, rate limits, or access controls.
- Upload malicious code, viruses, or any content designed to disrupt the service.
- Discriminate against applicants on the basis of protected characteristics.
- Post content that is defamatory, threatening, or violates any applicable law.
5. Listings and Content
You retain ownership of content you post on the Platform. By posting, you grant us a
non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, distribute, and promote your
content within the Platform. We do not claim ownership of your intellectual property.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of your listings. We reserve the right
to remove listings that violate these Terms without prior notice.
6. Applications and Hiring
The Platform facilitates introductions between founders and contributors. We are not party to
any employment, contracting, or collaboration agreements made through the Platform. Any such
agreements are solely between the parties involved.
We do not guarantee that listings will result in a hire, nor that applications will receive a response.
7. Services Marketplace
Members who purchase Seller Access may publish a service listing ("Service") describing work they
offer, and other members ("Buyers") may contact them through the Platform. We are a venue
only. lucidping.com is not a party to, and does not broker, mediate,
escrow, invoice, or guarantee, any agreement between a Seller and a Buyer.
- No commission. We take no percentage, fee, or cut of any amount a Seller
and Buyer agree between themselves. The only amounts we charge are the Seller Access fee and
optional promotion credits, which are paid to us for use of the Platform and not for any
individual engagement.
- Payment and delivery happen off-platform. Pricing, scope, deadlines,
payment method, invoicing, taxes, refunds, and delivery of work are agreed and handled directly
between the Seller and the Buyer. We do not hold funds, process payment between members, or
verify that payment or delivery has occurred.
- No guarantees. We do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or
timeliness of any Service, the accuracy of any listing, the identity or qualifications of any
Seller, or the ability of any Buyer to pay. "Verified" indicates only that a Seller has passed
our internal listing review; it is not an endorsement or a warranty.
- Disputes. Any dispute arising from a Service engagement is solely between
the Seller and the Buyer. You release us from claims, demands, and damages of every kind arising
out of or connected with such disputes, to the extent permitted by law.
- Reports and strikes. A Buyer may report a Seller, and a Seller may report a
Buyer, through the Platform's report form. Our staff review each report and may uphold or
dismiss it at our sole discretion; a review is not an adjudication of the underlying dispute
and creates no obligation on us. An upheld report is recorded as a strike against the reported
account. Two upheld strikes suspend a Seller's listing (it is hidden and marked "under review"
and cannot receive requests) or, for a Buyer, remove the ability to send requests, leave
reviews, or file further reports. We may also suspend or restrict any account immediately,
without waiting for a second report, where we consider the conduct to be fraud, abuse, or a
risk to other members. A report that our staff find to be knowingly false or malicious is a
strike against the account that filed it. Suspension of Seller Access for these reasons is
without refund. Reports and their contents are confidential to our staff; the reported party
is told the outcome and the reason, never the identity of the reporter.
- Seller obligations. Sellers are responsible for their own tax, licensing,
and legal compliance in their jurisdiction, for honouring what their listing promises, and for
keeping their availability status accurate. Only one Service per account may be published.
- Reviews. Reviews may only be left by a member who contacted the Seller through
the Platform. Reviews must reflect a genuine experience. We may hide or remove reviews and
suspend or reset the ratings of any account where we detect reciprocal, purchased, self-authored,
or otherwise manipulated reviews, and may revoke that account's verified status and Seller
Access without refund.
- Seller Access fees. Seller Access is billed monthly, annually, or as a one-time
lifetime payment and is separate from Contributor Pro and Founder Pro. Member discounts on
Seller Access are re-evaluated at each renewal based on your subscription at that time.
Seller Access does not entitle you to any minimum number of requests, views, or engagements.
8. Subscriptions and Payments
Paid features are available through Contributor Pro and Founder Pro subscriptions and Seller
Access, billed monthly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime payment. Promotion credits ("coins")
are a one-time purchase, are not redeemable for cash, and are consumed when spent.
Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment
method on the applicable billing cycle.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. Lifetime plans are a
one-time payment with no recurring charges. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods,
except where required by law.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for material violation of these Terms.
You may delete your account at any time via your account settings. Upon deletion, your data
is permanently removed per our data retention policy in the Privacy Policy.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, lucidping.com shall not be liable
for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use
of the Platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount
you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding
arbitration or in the courts of the jurisdiction where we are incorporated, unless otherwise
required by consumer protection law in your country.
12. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, the version number and effective date
will change. We will notify you within the Platform and require re-acceptance if the changes
are material. Continued use after the grace period constitutes acceptance.
