When you buy a Voice Over Gig, the Seller provides you with a non-commercial perpetual, exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to utilize the purchased Voice Over. However, this does not cover any commercial applications, such as radio, television, and internet commercial spots.
Opting for Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) with your order extends your rights. Alongside the basic rights, the Seller grants you a license to employ the Voice Over for commercial, promotional, and non-broadcast purposes for the agreed period (unless otherwise specified - perpetuity). Commercial, promotional, and non-broadcast purposes entail any business-related use for profit-generating products or services (excluding paid marketing channels). Examples include explainer videos on company websites, social networks, or email campaigns, audiobooks, and podcast intros. This excludes any illegal, immoral, or defamatory purposes.
Further, with Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out), you receive additional benefits.

Again, any illegal, immoral, or defamatory purposes are strictly prohibited.
These Buy-Out provisions are subject to workandhire's Terms of Service. There is no warranty, express or implied, accompanying the purchase of this delivery, including with respect to fitness for a specific purpose. Neither the Seller nor workandhire will be liable for any claims or incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from this license, the delivery, or your use of the delivery.
By obtaining a "Commercial Use License" alongside your Gig Order, you receive an enduring, exclusive, non-transferable, global authorization from the Seller to utilize the acquired delivery for Permitted Commercial Purposes. It's important to note that the Seller retains complete ownership rights. "Permitted Commercial Purposes" encompass any business-related activities, such as advertising, promotion, website creation, integration into products, software, or other business tools, while expressly excluding any illegal, immoral, or defamatory uses. This license is governed by workandhire's Terms of Service. No warranties, whether express or implied, are provided with the purchase of this delivery, including regarding fitness for specific purposes. Neither the Seller nor workandhire will be held accountable for any claims or incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from this license, the delivery, or its use.

The shipping fee applied to a Gig covers the cost incurred by Sellers to ship physical items to Buyers.

Content Generated By Users
User Generated Content (UGC) denotes content contributed by users rather than content produced by the Site itself. All content uploaded to workandhire by our users (Buyers and Sellers) falls under User Generated Content. workandhire does not conduct checks on user-uploaded or created content for appropriateness, copyright violations, trademarks, or other rights infringements. The responsibility for such content lies solely with the user who uploads or creates it, including any consequences arising from its use, disclosure, storage, or transmission. By uploading or creating content on the workandhire platform, you affirm that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power, and/or authority to use and/or upload such content. Additionally, you assert that such content, or its use on the Site, does not and will not: (a) infringe or violate any intellectual property, proprietary, privacy, data protection, or publicity rights of any third party; (b) contravene any applicable local, state, federal, and international laws, regulations, and conventions; and/or (c) breach any of your or third party's policies and/or terms of service. We encourage everyone to report violations, accompanied by proof of ownership where appropriate. Reported violating content may be removed or disabled.
Moreover, workandhire disclaims responsibility for the content, quality, or level of service provided by Sellers (even if they are Pro Freelancers, Top Rated Sellers, offer Promoted Gigs, or otherwise). We offer no warranty regarding the Gigs, their delivery, any communications between Buyers and Sellers, and the Logo Designs created through the Logo Maker. Users are encouraged to utilize our rating system, community, and common sense when selecting services.
By offering a service, Sellers affirm that they possess sufficient permissions, rights, and/or licenses to provide, sell, or resell the service offered on workandhire. Sellers promoting their Gig or Logo Design created through the Logo Maker online must adhere to the laws and terms of service of the advertising platform or relevant website used for advertising. Failure to comply may result in the removal of the Gig or Logo Design from the Logo Maker, as applicable, and may lead to the suspension of the Seller's account.
For specific terms related to Intellectual Property rights and for reporting claims of copyright infringement (DMCA notices) or trademark infringement, please refer to our Intellectual Property Claims Policy, which is an integral part of these Terms of Service. Please note that it is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
Possession
Ownership and Terms: Upon purchasing a Gig on workandhire, unless otherwise specified on the Seller's Gig page/description, the Buyer, upon delivery and payment, acquires all intellectual property rights, including copyright, for the delivered work from the Seller. The Seller renounces any moral rights associated with the work. Thus, the Seller explicitly transfers the copyright to the Buyer. However, such transfer is contingent upon full payment for the Gig, and if payment is canceled for any reason, the delivered work may not be used. In the case of custom-created work (e.g., artwork, design, report generation), the Buyer exclusively owns the delivered work and its copyright upon delivery, as agreed under the Terms of Service. Some Gigs, especially those involving custom-created work, may require additional payments (via Gig Extras) for a Commercial Use License. If the Gig is purchased for personal use, the Buyer owns all necessary rights and doesn't require a Commercial Use License. However, if the work will be used for any business-related purpose, a Commercial Use License must be obtained via a Gig Extra to ensure broader rights for business use.
For Voice Over Gigs, upon delivery and payment, the Buyer obtains basic rights, permitting perpetual use of the work for non-commercial purposes with a one-time fee payment. However, if the Voice Over will be used to promote a product and/or service (excluding paid marketing channels), the Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) must be purchased via Gig Extra. Additionally, for usage in radio, television, and internet commercials, the Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) are required via Gig Extra. Further details on the types of buy-outs are provided below.
Moreover, users (Buyers and Sellers) acknowledge that unless explicitly stated otherwise, any content voluntarily created/uploaded to workandhire, including Gig texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos, and any other information, may be utilized by workandhire for marketing or other purposes without compensation.
DisclaimerUsing the site, accessing its content, or obtaining any services or items through the site is done at your own risk. The site, its content, and any services or items obtained through the site are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Neither workandhire nor any person associated with workandhire makes any warranty or representation regarding the completeness, security, reliability, quality, accuracy, or availability of the site.
The above statement does not affect any warranties that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
LiabilityUnder no circumstances shall workandhire, its affiliates, or their licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers, or directors be held liable for any damages whatsoever, regardless of legal theory, arising from or in connection with your use or inability to use the site, any linked websites, any content on the site or such other websites, or any services or items obtained through the site or such other websites. These damages include but are not limited to direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, such as personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business or anticipated savings, loss of use, loss of goodwill, or loss of data, whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract, or otherwise, even if foreseeable.
The above provision does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
