1. OVERVIEW

The Site serves as an online marketplace that connects business professionals and experts offering their services (“Sellers”) with individuals or businesses looking to purchase those services (“Buyers”) (Collectively “Users” or “You” or “Your”). The Site provides a platform for Users to collaborate, communicate, and conduct transactions (“Ours Services”). The Site only serves to facilitate these interactions and will never be a party or signatory to any contractual agreements made between Users who use Our Services.

We do not supervise, direct, or control the services or advice offered by any User, nor do we provide professional, financial, legal, or other advisory services. We do not endorse, guarantee, or bear responsibility for the qualifications, licensing, competence, or conduct of any User, and we expressly disclaim any liability arising from transactions or communications between Users.

We make no representations or warranties regarding the volume or suitability of opportunities that may be found through the Site. We do not guarantee any level of business or income, and you agree that you are solely responsible for any outcomes or results arising from your use of the Site.

2. USER ACCOUNTS

To access or use the Site, you must register for an account. By doing so, you agree to provide us with a valid e-mail address and ensure that all required information you provide to us is accurate, genuine, and up-to-date. You are solely responsible for all activity undertaken in respect of that account. Your account may be personal or set up as a User Entity. If you create an account as a User Entity, you confirm that you will remain solely responsible for all activity undertaken in respect of that account.

By registering for an account, you confirm that you are:

at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
not restricted from receiving or providing services under any applicable laws;
not suspended from using the site; and
not subject to economic sanctions or trade restrictions imposed by the United States, European Union, or any other applicable jurisdiction.

If you register for an account as a Seller, you further confirm and warrant that you:

have the necessary rights, permissions, and/or licenses to provide, sell, or resell the
services you offer on the Site (“Sellers Authorizations”).

2.1. VERIFICATION

To ensure your account is genuine, we may, directly or through third parties, conduct any inquiries we consider necessary. Accordingly, you agree to provide us, upon request, information that will allow us to reasonably verify your identity and confirm that your account is genuine. Such information may include, but is not limited to, the following:

copies of identification documents (such as bank statements, passport or driving license)
copies of documents verifying Sellers Authorizations

Furthermore, you also agree to participate, upon request, in a video interview to verify any information provided in your account or on the Site.

We may, at our absolute discretion, refuse, suspend, or terminate any account, and restrict any User or User Entity from accessing or using the Site if there are any breach of provisions under these Terms. We may investigate any violations of these Terms and, where necessary, suspend or terminate your account. If your account remains inactive for the period of six (6) months, we shall further have absolute discretion to terminate your account.

3. USER SERVICES

When a Buyer awards a project to a Seller, and the Seller accepts that project, both parties form a separate, legally binding contract (“User Contract”). The User Contract governs the project’s scope, fees, deliverables, timelines, and any other mutually agreed terms. Humiint is not a party to any User Contract and does not supervise, direct, or control the services or advice offered by any User. By using the Site to offer or obtain services, you acknowledge that all contractual rights and responsibilities relating to a project lie exclusively between the Buyer and Seller, and that Humiint has no obligation to enforce or supervise the performance of any User Contract.

Each User acts as an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms or in any User Contract creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between Humiint and any User, or among Users themselves. Humiint does not provide professional, financial, legal, or other advisory services, nor does it verify, monitor, or guarantee the accuracy, legality, or quality of any information or services offered by Users. Buyers and Sellers are each responsible for determining whether the other party is suitable to engage with, and Humiint bears no liability for any dissatisfaction, disputes, or alleged damages arising from services performed or not performed.

A User Contract arises solely between a Buyer and a Seller upon mutual agreement to proceed with a project. Once the project is awarded and accepted, it is up to the Buyer and Seller to specify terms such as payment amounts, timelines, and service requirements. Sellers warrant that they have the necessary skills, qualifications, and, if applicable, licenses to perform the services offered, while Buyers agree to compensate Sellers in accordance with what both parties have decided. Each User is solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements, including the laws of Singapore, as well as any relevant domestic or international statutes.

Humiint makes no representations or warranties regarding the volume of business, potential earnings, quality standards, or outcomes of any services offered on the Site. Any ratings, reviews, or feedback are user-generated content, and Humiint disclaims liability for their content or accuracy. Users must not engage in off-platform payments, fraudulent representations, or any conduct that violates these Terms or relevant law. Any attempt to circumvent Humiint’s payment processes may result in suspension or termination of the User’s account. If one party to a User Contract fails to meet its obligations, the affected party must seek remedies directly against the breaching party, and Humiint bears no responsibility for disputes over payments, deliverables, or other breaches of the User Contract.

Unless otherwise specified in the User Contract, Sellers retain ownership of any deliverables or work product until they have received full payment, at which point such rights transfer to the Buyer to the extent permitted by law. Humiint has no control over, nor responsibility for, the creation, ownership, or use of intellectual property arising from services performed under a User Contract, and disclaims liability for any infringement or misuse of such rights. Ultimately, Humiint’s role is limited to providing an online venue that allows Buyers and Sellers to meet and transact. We do not oversee project performance, guarantee payments, or assume liability for services rendered. Any legal or equitable claims arising from a User Contract must be resolved directly between the parties involved.

4. USER OBLIGATIONS

Notwithstanding Section 2 of these Terms, you confirm that you will not, under any circumstances, transmit or submit to the Site, any software, data, reports, text, images, audio, video, and other materials (“Content”) that:

is illegal or promotes illegal activity;
defames, harasses, threatens, or incites violence against any person or group;
is discriminatory, pornographic, or sexually explicit;
relates to child exploitation in any form;
constitutes spam or unsolicited advertising;
contains malware, viruses, or any harmful code designed to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to data or systems/;
infringes on any intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets;
impersonates another person or entity; and
violates privacy rights or publishes sensitive personal information without consent.

As a Seller, you further represent and warrant that you will be truthful and genuine about your identity, skills, and experience. This means you must not:

falsify qualifications or misrepresent your expertise or services
use another person’s identity or falsely claim affiliations with individuals or organizations or entities
allow another person to use your account or mislead others about who is performing the services
falsify time records, bill for unworked hours, or demand payments without providing services.
offer services that are fraudulent or manipulate reviews or feedback in any way

Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality

Sellers should recognize that there might be a need for Buyers to disclose certain confidential information to be used by Sellers for the purpose of delivering the Services, and to protect such confidential information from unauthorized use and disclosure. Sellers agree to treat any information received from Buyers as highly sensitive, top secret and classified material. Without derogating from the generality of the above, Sellers specifically agree to (i) maintain all such information in strict confidence; (ii) not disclose the information to any third parties; (iii) not use the information for any purpose except for delivering the Services; and (vi) not to copy or reproduce any of the information without the Buyer’s permission. Buyer may require Seller to sign additional non-disclosure agreements. Humiint bears no liability for any dissatisfaction, disputes, or alleged damages arising from disclosure or breach.

Review

We may allow Buyers and Sellers to rate and review each other following the completion of a project. While we do not censor such reviews as a matter of policy, we reserve the right to remove or edit feedback that we deem to be abusive, deceptive, or in violation of these Terms. You agree that reviews posted on the Site are opinions of their respective authors, and we shall not be liable for any claims or damages arising from posted reviews.

We will have no liability to you for any corruption, deletion, destruction, or loss of any User Content.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between a Buyer and a Seller, upon the Seller’s receipt of full payment from the Buyer, all intellectual property rights (including copyright) in any custom deliverables or work product created for the Buyer under a User Contract shall transfer from the Seller to the Buyer. Until such payment is made, the Seller retains ownership in all such deliverables. We do not assume or guarantee any party’s compliance with intellectual property obligations, and any disputes over ownership or infringement are solely between the Buyer and Seller.

We do not monitor, verify, or guarantee the quality, appropriateness, or completeness of any Third-Party Content. If you choose to navigate to an external website or install third-party applications, you acknowledge that our Terms no longer apply, and you are solely responsible for reviewing the terms and privacy policies of those third-party services.

6. PAYMENTS AND FEES

Humiint’s fee structure is straightforward. We assess a flat 20% platform fee on every Seller’s transaction.

We may, at our discretion, amend, update or introduce new fees from time to time. Such updated fees schedule shall take effect immediately upon being posted on the Site or other means of communication channel/ notification to the Users. Buyer does not pay any additional fee except for the amount paid to the Seller.

All payments between Users for services arranged through the Site must be conducted via the Site’s payment methods. Engaging in or requesting off-platform payments may result in account suspension or termination. Additionally, If we determine, in our sole discretion, that a Buyer and Seller have deliberately circumvented our payment system, we may charge a non-circumvention fee equivalent to 20% of the total contract value, in addition to suspending or terminating the accounts involved.

While we may facilitate payment transfers, we are not a bank, payment institution, or fiduciary, and we do not hold funds on any User’s behalf in a trust or escrow capacity. Any funds processed through our payment methods are not insured by us, and no fiduciary relationship is created by your use of these payment methods.

You are solely responsible for determining any tax obligations arising from your use of the Site, including the collection or remittance of any value-added tax, goods and services tax, or other applicable taxes.
