The terms the board runs on.

Who you are dealing with

The board is run by Fractional Works from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, registered under ABN 35 910 404 693. In these terms "we" and "us" mean Fractional Works, and "you" means the person using the board or the business they act for.

You can reach us at hello@fractionalworks.com.au.

Accepting these terms

By using the board you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it. Creating an account accepts them again for that account. If you are agreeing for a company, you confirm you are allowed to.

What the board is

Fractional Works lists roles measured in days per week, holds profiles written by the people who want that work, and carries an application from an applicant to the advertiser whose role they answered. That is the whole service.

What it is not:

• It is not a recruitment agency, and it does not act for an advertiser or for an applicant.
• It does not shortlist, screen, interview, negotiate or place anyone. An application's state — submitted, shortlisted or rejected — is set by the advertiser.
• It does not represent either side in a negotiation, and it is not a party to whatever the two sides agree.
• It does not guarantee an outcome. Posting a role does not guarantee a suitable applicant; applying does not guarantee a reply, an interview or a role.

Your account

• One account per person. An account is for you, not for a team, and not for a role you are filling.
• The information on it must be accurate and kept accurate. A profile that misstates who you are, what you have done or what you charge is a breach of these terms.
• Keep the password to yourself, keep the second factor on your own device, and tell us the same day if you think someone else has the account.
• We may lock an account after repeated failed sign-ins, and we may ask you to verify your email address before it can be used.
• You are responsible for what is done with your account.

If you are an applicant

Your profile holds no email address, phone number or postal address, and you should not put one in free text. Contact happens through the application.

A profile is hidden or discoverable, and you choose which. A hidden profile is not matched to roles and cannot apply. A discoverable one may be shown to an advertiser whose role fits, and can apply. You can change it at any time, and hiding it stops future matching.

An application is your statement. Send it to roles you would take, write a cover note that is yours, and do not apply on someone else's behalf.

If you are an advertiser

Post real roles. State the work, the days a week, the day rate if you have one, the location and whether it is remote, honestly. A role that is not yours to fill, or that is already filled, should be closed.

An advert must not be unlawful, must not discriminate on a basis the law forbids, and must not ask for anything a person could not lawfully be asked for. You see a profile only because that person applied to your role; using it for anything else — passing it to a client, adding it to a mailing list, re-advertising it — is a breach of these terms.

Acceptable use

Do not:

• scrape, crawl or bulk-download profiles, adverts or applications, or collect them by any automated means;
• send an application that is spam, generic, duplicated across every role, or written by software on your behalf;
• post an advert that is deceptive, or that is a way of collecting CVs for a role that does not exist;
• impersonate anyone, or claim a role, a qualification or a company you do not have;
• try to reach a part of the board you have not been given access to, probe it for holes, or test its defences without written permission;
• use the board for anything unlawful, or to harass another person.

Content and intellectual property

What you write stays yours: your profile, your advert, your cover note. By putting it on the board you give us permission to store it and to show it to the people it is meant for — a profile to an advertiser you applied to, an advert to everyone, an application to the two sides of it. That permission is for running the board, and it ends when the content is removed, except where a record has to be kept for the audit log or the law.

You confirm that what you write is yours to publish, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

The board's own name, marks, layout, copy and code belong to the operator. You may read the board, link to a role, and quote a role's description to decide whether to apply. You may not republish the board, resell its content, or build a competing list out of it.

No payment

Nothing on this board takes payment. There is no checkout, no card field, no subscription, no listing fee and no commission. Posting a role is free, and applying is free. If a price is ever introduced it will be stated on the advertiser page before a role is posted, and it will not apply to a role already posted.

Availability and changes

The board is offered as it stands. We may change it, add or remove a feature, change how matching works, or take it down for maintenance, and we do not promise it will always be reachable. We may close a role or withdraw an advert that breaches these terms.

Disclaimers

We do not check that an advertiser is who they say they are, that a role is real, that a day rate is accurate, or that an applicant's profile is true. We carry what each side writes. Take the same care you would take anywhere else: ask, check, and do not send money or identity documents to someone you have not verified.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where the law allows us to limit our liability, our liability is limited to supplying the service again or paying for it to be supplied again. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profit, lost revenue, lost opportunity or indirect loss arising from your use of the board, from a role that was not filled, or from an applicant who did not work out.

Suspension and termination

You can hide your profile or close your account whenever you like, from your portal. We may suspend or end an account, or remove an advert, if these terms are breached, if the law requires it, or if keeping it open would put someone else at risk. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will say why.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia, and the courts of New South Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any right you have to bring a claim where you live.
