As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
Authorized User- individual who a Customer has authorized and enabled to use Customer’s OnFrontiers account, through the granting of login credentials.
Book- schedule a Video Consultation on the Platform.
Booking Fee- the fee charged on the first Custom Match with a particular Expert, as set out in the OnFrontiers Customer Charging Policy. No Booking Fee applies where a Client engages an Expert directly through self-service rather than through a Custom Match.
Charges- the fees payable by the Customer to OnFrontiers as agreed in an Order Form or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the relevant Terms of Service. Charges may include: Guided Launch fees, subscription fees, credit fees, Credit Top-Ups, Booking Fees, and Expert Work Fees (comprising, for a Scoped Engagement, the Expert Fee together with the Platform Fee).
Circumvention- engaging, hiring, contracting with, or otherwise compensating an Expert outside the Platform — whether for Expert Work, employment, or other services — in order to avoid fees payable to OnFrontiers, in respect of an Expert introduced to the Customer or Client through the Platform. The performance of Scoped Engagement work outside the OnFrontiers Website is not Circumvention where payment for such work remains Platform-mediated.
Client- the party that receives Expert Work in a given interaction (an Expert’s counterparty), which may be the Customer, an Authorized User, or a Guest. Client denotes a role and is not necessarily a contracting party; the Customer is responsible for its Clients.
Confidential Information- means any non-public information, however obtained, which by its nature should be understood by a reasonable person to be confidential or a trade secret and which, if released, would likely have a material adverse impact on an individual’s privacy or a business or organization’s competitiveness, programs, reputation or foreign relations. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the general or specific subject matter of any Expert Work or Opportunity Call, and the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of a Customer or Client, or their respective clients. Confidential Information also includes the fact of the existence of any agreement with OnFrontiers, a Customer or Client, and the terms thereof, the details of any information received by an Expert from a Customer or Client in the course of performing or being evaluated to perform Expert Work or an Opportunity Call, and the nature of the subject areas, issues or questions in connection with which a Customer or Client seeks or sought Expert Work from an Expert. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any such information which an Expert can establish (i) was publicly known or made generally available prior to the time of disclosure to the Expert; (ii) becomes publicly known or made generally available after disclosure to the Expert through no wrongful action or inaction of the Expert; or (iii) is in the rightful possession of the Expert, without confidentiality obligations, at the time of disclosure by the Expert.
Content Election- the election presented to the Customer when a Video Consultation or a Written Response is ordered and confirmed by the Customer On-Platform, which sets whether the resulting content may be included in the Library, the Customer’s rights in the Work Product (license, exclusive license, or assignment), and the corresponding Charges. A Content Election is binding on the Customer’s confirmation and no separate signed instrument is required.
