Client – Freelancer Contract Terms

Effective Date: Date of Contract Acceptance

Platform: InterJob

Operated by: SDLC Services Private Limited

This Client–Freelancer Contract (“Contract”) is a legally binding agreement solely between the Client and the Freelancer using the InterJob platform.

By sending, accepting, or continuing this Contract, both parties agree to be bound by the terms below.

This Contract is a direct agreement between the Client and the Freelancer.

InterJob is not a party to this Contract and does not act as an employer, agent, partner, or guarantor for either party.

The Freelancer acts as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Client or InterJob.

This Contract is a fixed price contract.

The scope of work is defined by:

• the job posting
• the freelancer’s proposal
• mutually agreed written communication

The Client may choose to structure the Contract as:

• milestone based, or
• full payment based

Any changes to scope must be mutually agreed upon.

3.1 Client Payment Requirement

The Client must pay at least 50% of the contract value after the Freelancer accepts the Contract.

The Client must complete 100% payment before ending the Contract.

InterJob does not allow contract completion unless full payment is made.

3.2 Payment Processing Acknowledgement

All payments are processed through Razorpay and held in escrow via Razorpay Route until the contract is completed.

When the client confirms contract completion, escrowed funds are released directly to the freelancer's registered bank account (typically within 1-2 business days). A tiered platform commission and applicable GST are deducted at the time of payment.

Banking requirements:

• Completed KYC verification
• Activated Razorpay linked account with verified banking details
• Compliance with platform policies

Until full payment is completed:

• The Freelancer must deliver work with reasonable watermarks or access restrictions
• Final usable files may be delivered only after full payment

If the Client fails to pay the remaining amount:

• The Client account may be terminated
• The Freelancer will not receive the remaining unpaid amount
• InterJob shall not be liable for unpaid balances

A Contract is considered completed only when the Client ends the Contract after making 100% payment.

Ending the Contract by the Client confirms:

• work has been delivered
• the Client is satisfied
• payment obligations are fulfilled

After Client completion, the Freelancer may then end the Contract.

Based on this review:

• InterJob may approve or reject termination
• Refunds or payouts, if any, are decided solely by InterJob

6.3 No Payment Scenario

• InterJob will not interfere
• Client and Freelancer may mutually ignore the Contract

In any payment, contract, or refund related issue:

• InterJob reserves the right to study the case

• make a final decision on refund or payout

InterJob’s decision shall be final and binding.

Revisions are based on mutual understanding between Client and Freelancer.

• No additional payment is required for revisions unless mutually agreed
• Unlimited revisions are not guaranteed
