This agreement made and entered into on the date last written below, by and between StratAffect SA [owner of the platform Tyoch] (the "Company" & the “Platform”; “Company/Platform” ), and:
an independent contractor ("Contractor"), an individual residing at:
for the purpose of setting forth the specific terms and conditions by which the Company/Platform will acquire the Contractor’s services on a temporary basis.
In order to ensure that this document is as inclusive as possible, ‘they’, ‘their’, ‘them’, ‘theirs’, ‘themselves’, etc. are used as singular and plural pronouns, in place of the more ‘bi-gender-heavy’ equivalents.
The Contractor is an independent contractor, not an agent or employee of the Company/Platform, and is not authorized to act on behalf of the Company/Platform. The Contractor shall render services as a SERVICE PROVIDER [TRAINING AND/OR COACHING/MENTORING] for the Company/Platform. The Contractor MAY NOT issue any additional orders for work to another (sub)Contractor without written acceptance by the Company/Platform. The Contractor should not commence services under this Agreement until this Agreement is signed and delivered to an authorized representative of the Company/Platform. Should the Company/Platform permit The Contractor to use any of the Company/Platform’s equipment, tools or facilities during the term of this Agreement, such permission will be gratuitous and The Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company/Platform and its officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any claim, loss, expense, or judgement of injury to person or property (including death) arising out of the use of any such equipment, tools or facilities, whether or not such a claim is based on its condition or on the alleged negligence of the Company/Platform in permitting its use.
The Company/Platform acknowledges that the Contractor may, during the term of this Agreement, be engaged in other business activities and may render the same or similar services to pre-existing clients. It is required, however, that any coaching, training courses, workshops, etc., either in person or performed virtually, that bear a strong resemblance to or draw upon the same content and/or are targeted toward the same audience as those promoted on the Tyoch Platform, must be offered to the public from the Tyoch Platform, not other event consolidation software such as EventBrite, billetweb.fr, etc.
I accept this condition
The Contractor acknowledges that the Company/Platform is built on the good reputation and credibility of the community of Service Providers from which it is populated. Therefore, any lack of transparency of misinformation about the level of expertise and/or quality of professional services will negatively impact the community but also severely damage the public reputation of the Company/Platform. The Contractor confirms that all evaluations, testimonials, and/or other collateral provided to the Company/Platform are a true representation of their skill/expertise.
The Contractor attests that they have not been convicted of, plead guilty to, been subject to judgements or admitted committing a felony, fraud, or other crime that could negatively reflect upon the credibility of the Company/Platform and other members of the community. The Contractor shall at all times act in good faith and to the best of their ability adhere to any regulations, association guidelines, and applicable laws set out in their region, especially in accordance with certification and or accreditation represented on the Company/Platform. The Contractor will devote reasonable time to ensure that services rendered to the clients of the Company/Platform are of impeccable quality.
The Contractor will adhere to the existing standards, goals, guidelines (eg, training structure & design, membership collaboration, etc.), budgets, directives, services descriptions, policies and procedures and Terms & Conditions of the Company/Platform or established and approved by Company/Platform Management at some later date. The Contractor will receive notice of all changes to Terms and Conditions, Contracts and/or other binding documents/agreements via email. The modified document/information will be posted centrally for access by all Contractors’ for comments/feedback for a minimum of 5 business days before changes take effect. If a binding document is not signed by the cut-off date, and the Contractor has not contacted the Company/Platform representative regarding issues/feedback, the Company/Platform will take this as a sign of non-compliance and remove the Contractor from the Platform.
The Company/Platform strives at all times to be inclusive and to afford its community members the opportunity to grow and evolve their skills and offering. The Company/Platform will not require the Contractor to withdraw from the platform due to poor evaluations, concerns about quality, reputational issues and/or other negative feedback, but may suspend the offer of their services. Communication about the nature of issues will be prompt and robust and may include meetings with the end user and/or client. If the Contractor takes immediate remedial action to improve gaps and/or insufficiencies and provides evidence of improvement, the Company/Platform will re-activate their service offering, unless substantial and/or long-term reputational damage has occurred. I accept this condition
Either the Company/Platform or Contractor may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach of the Agreement which is not resolved within thirty (30) days of written notice to the other of such breach. Material breaches include, but are not limited to, the filing of bankruptcy papers or other similar arrangements due to insolvency, the assignment of The Contractor’s obligations to perform to third parties, damage to reputation by activities and/or actions of The Contractor.
The Company/Platform may terminate this Agreement for its sole convenience by giving a 30-day advance notice in writing to the contractor. In such event, the Contractor shall cease work immediately after receiving notice from the Company/Platform unless otherwise advised by the Company/Platform, and provide an invoice within 5 business days for any outstanding fees for work performed. The Company/Platform will pay such invoice within 5 business days of receipt. I accept this condition

The compensation payable for services rendered is activated upon receipt of client payment.
