Using the Services as a Client
As a Client, the Platform provides you with the opportunity to:
engage Snooper to manage a campaign of Missions that Shoppers can complete (the “Campaign”), including:
nominating the number of Missions that the Campaign is to cover; and
selecting the specific checkpoints that Shopper is to complete as part of the Campaign
pay the Snooper an agreed fee for the Campaign (the “Campaign Fee”), which is to be held by Snooper and distributed to the Shoppers as payment from the Client for completing the Mission (the “Mission Fee”).
You acknowledge and agree that the Campaign Fee must be transferred, in full to Snooper prior to the Mission being listed on the Platform, unless Snooper agrees to provide you the services on a credit basis.
Commission Fee and Refund Policy
You acknowledge that Snooper assists you in posting the Missions making up the Campaign, connecting you to the Shoppers and then engaging a Shopper to complete the Mission. By Snooper offering the Services to you, you agree that:
you will transfer the Campaign Fee, in full, to Snooper prior to having the Missions posted on the Platform unless Snooper agrees to provide you the services on a credit basis.
Snooper will hold the whole of the Campaign Fee until a Shopper has completed the relevant checkpoints, at which time the Mission Fee will be paid to the Shopper less a percentage commission, payable by you to Snooper as commission for the provision of the Services (the “Commission Fee”);
The remaining percentage of the Mission Fee (the “Shopper Payment”) will be held on behalf of the Shopper by Snooper until such time as they choose to withdraw it, at which time the Shopper Payment will be transferred to the Shopper minus any merchant banking service charges incurred by Snooper in effecting the transfer.
You acknowledge and agree that Snooper only facilitates the introductions between the Client and the Shopper and is not liable, in any capacity, for the actions of the Shoppers once engaged. You further acknowledge and agree that Snooper is entitled to the Commission Fee irrespective of whether or not the Shopper completes the Mission to a satisfactory standard, or at all, once engaged by the Client.
If, for whatever reason, you are unsatisfied with the Services or believe you may be entitled to a refund with respect to the Commission Fee paid by you, then please contact Snooper by sending an email to info@snooper-app.com outlining why you believe you are entitled to a refund of the Subscription Fee so we are able to determine if same should occur. Any refunds granted will be at Snooper’s absolute discretion.
Using the Services on Credit
Snooper may, at its sole discretion, agree to provide you the services on a credit basis, with payment of the Campaign Fee within an agreed period of time, where this arrangement is reflected in the Purchase Order or otherwise recorded in writing to the satisfaction of Snooper (the “Credit Arrangement”).
For the avoidance of doubt, where you are provided with a Credit Arrangement, you warrant that you will pay the Campaign Fee in line with the time frame set out in the Purchase Order and, where you fail to do so, you will be immediately liable for a penalty fee in the amount of the full Campaign Fee.
This clause 7 act as a bar to any defence of Snooper enforcing the penalty fee referred to in clause 7.2 above.
Engagement of the Shopper
You acknowledge and agree that, in engaging a Shopper to perform a Mission, the Shopper will be engaged as an Independent Contractor.
