Terms of service

The platform

MeGC lets clients post construction jobs, vendors bid on them, and both run the resulting project and payments. MeGC is not a party to the contract between a client and a vendor, and does not carry out the work.

Accounts

• You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract to use MeGC.
• You must give accurate information and keep your password safe; you are responsible for what happens under your account.
• A vendor account is a business account. Vendors must verify their phone and identity and connect a payout account before going live.
• Staff accounts a vendor creates act for that vendor, who is responsible for them.

Jobs, bids and contracts

• Clients describe the job honestly, including budget, dates, location and anything that affects the work.
• A bid states the price, milestones and terms the vendor will work to. Awarding a bid turns those terms into the contract between the client and the vendor.
• Vendors hold every licence, permit, insurance and qualification the work requires where it is done.

Payments

• Contract payments are made through MeGC, milestone by milestone, and held in escrow until the client approves the milestone.
• Taking payment for a job found on MeGC outside the platform is not allowed.
• Refunds and disputes follow the Payments, refunds & disputes policy.

Conduct

No false or misleading information, no harassment, no spam, no attempts to get around verification or payments, and nothing illegal. We may remove content and suspend accounts that break these terms.

Content

You keep ownership of what you upload. You let MeGC store and show it to the people it is shared with, to run the service. Upload only what you own or have permission to use.

Copyright

We respond to notices of copyright infringement under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To report content, send our copyright agent through the contact form: the work you say is infringed, where the content is on MeGC, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised, a statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for them, and your signature.

• We remove or disable the content and tell the person who uploaded it.
• They may send a counter-notice; unless the complainant tells us they have started a court action, the content may be restored after 10 to 14 business days.
• We close the accounts of repeat infringers.

Liability

We provide the platform as it is. We are not responsible for the quality, safety or legality of the work, or for what clients and vendors agree between them, except where the law says we must be.

Changes

We may update these terms; we will tell you before a significant change takes effect. Using MeGC after that means you accept the new terms.
