- User Services
Upon a User awarding a Opportunity or Contest to another User, and the User acceptance on the Website, or the purchase of an item by a User from the other, both Users will be deemed to have entered into a User Contract under which the User accepting services agrees to purchase, and the User providing services agrees to deliver the agreed Services. You agree not to enter into any contractual provisions in conflict with the User Agreement.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with your obligations to other Users. If you do not, you may become liable to that User. You must ensure that you are aware of any domestic laws (including common law), international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations relevant to you as a User, or in any other uses you make of the Website.
If another User breaches any obligation to you, you are solely responsible for enforcing any rights that you may have. For the avoidance of doubt, we have no responsibility for enforcing any rights under a User Contract.
Depending on their jurisdiction, Users may have rights under statutory warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this User Agreement is intended to override a right that by applicable law may not be excluded.
Each User acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between Users is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this User Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between Users. Nothing in this User Agreement shall in any way be construed as forming a joint venture, partnership or an employer-employee relationship between Vity and the User.
- Funds
You may have funds in your Account if you have prepaid for fees or charges or for services to be provided to you through the Website. If you are User providing services, you may have funds if you have successfully completed an Opportunity and funds have been released to you. There are also circumstances where funds will have been credited to your Account in relation to an affiliate program or a referral program.
Funds in your Account are held by us in our operating accounts held with reputable financial institutions. Funds in your Account are not held separately by us and may be commingled with our general operating funds and funds of other User's Accounts. We are not responsible for the loss of funds as a result of the failure of the financial institution, provided that we exercised reasonable care and diligence in designating the financial institution.
You are not entitled to any interest, or other earnings for funds that are in your Account.
We may receive interest on funds held by us in our operating accounts (which may include funds in your Account) from financial institutions with whom we hold our operating accounts. Any such interest earned belongs to us and we will not be liable to any User for any imputed interest on such funds.
If your Account has a negative amount of funds, we may:
- set-off the negative amount of funds with funds that you subsequently receive into your Account;
- if you have funds in multiple currencies in your Account and one of the currencies becomes negative for any reason, we may set-off the negative amount against funds you maintain in a different currency balance (at an exchange rate applied by us);
- reverse payments you have made from your Account to other User Accounts on the Website;
- deduct amounts you owe us from money you subsequently add or receive into your Account; or
- immediately suspend or limit your Account until such time as your Account no longer has a negative amount.
In the event that we offset a negative amount of funds pursuant to this section, it may be bundled with another debit coming out of your Account.
We reserve the right to collect any funds owed to us by any other legal means.
You acknowledge and agree that:
- we are not a bank or other licensed financial institution and do not provide banking services or any financial services to you;
- the funds shown in your Account (which may include Payments, advanced payments, deposits, and/or any prepayment of fees and charges which you owe to us or are not yet earned by you) represent our unsecured obligations to you with respect to your rights to direct us to make payment in relation to the purchase and sale of User Services through the Website and provision of the Vity Services;
- to the extent that we are required to release funds from your Account to you, you will become our unsecured creditor until such funds are paid to you;
- we are not acting as a trustee or fiduciary with respect to such funds or payments;
- the amount of funds showing in your Account is not insured and is not a guaranteed deposit;
- funds may only loaded into your Account, or released from your Account, by us and you must only use the mechanisms available on the Website to pay for, or receive funds in respect of User Services;
- we will hold funds in respect of the amount of your Account (including Payments, advanced payments, deposits, and/or any prepayment of fees and charges which you owe to us or are not yet earned by you) in an account held by us with a financial institution (or in any manner that we decide in our sole discretion from time to time) and such funds are not segregated into a separate account; and
- we may commingle your funds with funds of other User's and our own funds and such commingled funds could be used to pay other Users or for our general corporate purposes or otherwise, however, we will remain obliged to release or refund funds at your direction in accordance with this User Agreement.
- Limits & Fraud Prevention
We reserve the right to suspend a User withdrawal request if the source of the funds is suspected to be fraudulent.
If we become aware that any funds received into an Account from another Account as a result of a fraudulent transaction (e.g. a payment initiated using a stolen credit card) it will be reversed immediately. If those funds have already been released to you, you must pay the funds back to Vity. If you do not do so, we may suspend, limit or cancel your account, or take action against you to recover those funds.
We may, in our sole discretion, place a limit on any or all of the funds in your Account (thereby preventing any use of the funds) if:
- we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions, including if we believe that there is a risk that such funds will be subject to reversal or chargeback;
- we believe that the beneficiary of the payment is someone other than you;
- we believe that the payment is being made to a country where we do not offer our Service; or
- we are required to do so by law.
If you are involved in a dispute, we may (in certain circumstances) place a temporary limit on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of any potential liability. If the dispute is resolved in your favor, we will lift the limit on your funds and those funds may be released to you. If the dispute is not resolved in your favor, we may remove the funds from your Account.
- Refunds
You may ask for a refund at any time for any funds that you have paid into your Account except if the amount to refund relates to a Payment or relates to fees or charges payable to us.
If the amount the User has asked to refund relates to: (1) a Payment, the Dispute Resolution Process may be followed; or (2) our fees and charges, the process set out in the Clause "Disputes with Us" must be followed.
If we agree to the refund, the funds will be received by the User through the same payment method(s) that the User used to make the original payment to us. We may, in our sole discretion, use an alternative payment method in exceptional circumstances.
We may refund funds to Users irrespective of whether a User has requested funds be refunded if: (1) we are required by law or consider that we are required by law to do so; (2) we determine that refunding funds to the User will avoid any dispute or an increase in our costs; (3) we refund funds to the User in accordance with any refund policy specified by us from time to time; (4) we find out that the original payment made by the User is fraudulent; (5) the User made a duplicate payment in error; or (6) we consider, in our sole opinion, that it is likely that the refund of funds is necessary to avoid a credit card chargeback.
You can request a refund by using our Contact Form or emailing us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) . If you have done so, you must not initiate a chargeback request with your credit card issuer until such time as all reasonable efforts have been exhausted with us to resolve your request.
If you have already initiated a chargeback request with your credit card issuer, you must not request a refund of funds by contacting us and must not seek double recovery.
If we reasonably determine, having considered all the relevant circumstances, that you have made an excessive or unreasonable number of requests to refund funds back to you or chargebacks, we may suspend, limit or close your Account.
There is no minimum amount for a refund.
- Chargebacks
A chargeback (being a challenge to a payment that a User files directly with their credit card issuer) and a reversal instruction is made by the payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) and not by us. We are bound to follow their instructions.
You acknowledge and agree that we will be entitled to recover chargebacks and reversals that may be imposed on us by a payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) on funds paid to you by another User through the Website.
You agree that we may reverse any such payments made to you, which are subject to chargeback or reversal instruction via your payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors).
- Inactive Accounts
We reserve the right to close an Inactive Account. We reserve the right to close an account with zero or negative balances.
- Right To Refuse Service
We may close, suspend or limit your access to your Account without reason. Without limiting the foregoing, we may close, suspend or limit your access to your Account:

We do not operate an escrow service. We do however, provide a service which allows time controlled payments to be made with respect to a service called Payments.

- both Users agree that the funds can be claimed by the User providing services;
- if there is a dispute, both Users have concluded the Dispute Resolution Process and the Dispute is resolved in the User providing services' favor;
- User accepting services instructs us to pay User providing services for services performed by the User providing services in respect of an Opportunity or contest; or
- a User acknowledges that the User providing services has completed the services fully and satisfactory.
If a User acception services does not approve of a User providing services' work product, the parties may elect to resolve the issue under the Dispute Resolution Process.
If the terms and conditions of an Opportunity have been satisfied but we have not received any instructions from a User in respect of a Payment within the shorter of: (i) the time period specified in an Opportunity or (ii) six (6) months after the day that the Payment was paid and the User providing services has not logged into their Account during that time, we may return any funds back to the User paying for services.

Subsequent Payments may be delayed where our fraud prevention policies dictate that a delay is required.
We may impose a minimum Payment amount for funds earned. This is set out in our schedule of Fees and Charges
