These Expert Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) govern your use of the Ethos Platform and participation as an Expert in Projects facilitated via the Platform. As used herein, “we”, “us”, and “Ethos” refer to Somo Labs Inc., the owner and operator of Ethos and the Ethos Platform, and our affiliates. By signing up, participating in Projects, or interacting with Clients through the Platform, you agree to comply with these terms, as well as the Ethos Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, available on the Ethos website, and any other policies Ethos may publish governing your use of the Platform and participation in Projects.

Overview
Ethos, via the Platform, enables knowledgeable individuals (“Experts”) and users seeking knowledge and opinions from Experts (“Clients”) to connect. “Platform” means Ethos’s proprietary online software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that (i) enables Clients and Experts to interact, including the sending, receiving, and discussion of Project requests, (ii) facilitates Projects, and (iii) provides access to and use of related services and resources. “Project” means an engagement of an Expert for a specific consulting service, including but not limited to an audio or video consultation, survey, or written report, whereby the Expert may provide knowledge and opinions to a Client.
By using the Platform and participating in Projects, you acknowledge that your role is as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, or representative of Ethos or Clients. You are responsible for your own tax obligations and are not entitled to any employee benefits from Ethos or Clients.
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, this Agreement, and any supplemental agreements or instructions provided in connection with specific Projects.
You agree to accept and perform all Projects solely through the Platform. Any work requested by or performed for Clients must be arranged and approved via the Platform, regardless of whether it is a new Project or a follow-up to a previous Project. You shall not engage in any Projects or provide any services to Clients outside of the Platform without prior written consent from Ethos.
You will be compensated only for work performed and completed through the Platform, and which has been accepted by the Client. Ethos will not compensate you for any Projects or services rendered outside of the Platform or without Ethos’s explicit approval, even if such work is related to or follows up on a Project initially arranged through the Platform.
You acknowledge and agree that you are not expected or obligated to, and Ethos will not compensate you for, any time spent on preparation, research, or other activities undertaken in advance of performing a Project, unless explicitly approved in writing by Ethos.
You are not permitted to invite or involve any third parties in any Project without obtaining prior written consent from Ethos and the relevant Client.
