You may receive Customer requests for Contractor Services via the Application, which will include basic information related to the requested Contractor Services, such as the quoted pay rate, the type of work requested, equipment or tools needed and the name of Customer. You may choose to submit a proposal in response to any Customer requests that you are willing and able to fulfill via the functionality of the Application. If your proposal is accepted by the Customer, you have entered into a binding legal agreement to provide the Contractor Services for the Fees agreed upon between you and the Customer. Do not submit a proposal to a Customer request unless you are sure that: (a) you understand what you are being asked to deliver; (b) you can perform the Services identified in the Customer request; (c) you can deliver the Services in the requested time period; and if required, you can get to and from the Customer’s location. You will be notified if your proposal has been accepted and at that time the Customer request will no longer be available to other Contractors. You acknowledge and agree that once a proposal has been submitted to a Customer, you authorize EOD to provide your name, biographical and experience information, including address, contact information (e-mail or social media address), picture (if provided) to the Customer. We will not provide Customers with any personally identifiable information (social security number, financial or credit card information, phone number, etc.)

Your interactions with Customers and/or other third parties found on or through the Services are solely between you and such Customers and/or third parties. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any Customer.

​

5.2 No Benefits or Contributions. You are not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that we may make available to our employees, such as group insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. Because you are an independent contractor, we will not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on your behalf. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, you are reclassified as an employee of EOD by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S. Department of Labor, or any other federal, state or foreign court or agency, you agree that you will not, as the result of such reclassification, be entitled to or eligible for, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, any employee benefits under any plans or programs established or maintained by either the Customer or by EOD.

Specifically, in the event that you are injured while working in the course and scope of providing Contractor Services for a Customer, you acknowledge that you will not be covered by any workers compensation insurance coverage that EOD may provide to its employees. Further, in the event that your actions cause an injury to a third party while you are working in the course and scope of providing Contractor Services for a Customer, you acknowledge and understand that you will not be covered by any general liability or automobile liability insurance coverage that EOD may have, and that EOD is not making any commitment to defend and/or indemnify you in such circumstances, and specifically denies such obligation.

​

5.5 Taxes. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for filing all tax returns and paying all applicable taxes as required by any federal, state, local, or foreign tax authority arising from any Fees paid to you under this Agreement, and you agree to do so in a timely manner. You will comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws governing self-employed individuals, including laws requiring the payment of taxes, such as income and employment taxes, and social security, disability and other contributions. To the extent required by the IRS, EOD will report the Fees paid to you pursuant to this Agreement by filing Form 1099-MISC with the IRS. You consent to electronic delivery of Form 1099-MISC, if such form is required or filed.
