3. What cOMmon Provides

cOMmon provides an online infrastructure where Members can create profiles, share spaces and projects, organize activities and events, and communicate and coordinate arrangements.

cOMmon is a facilitator only. cOMmon is not a party to Member-to-Member Arrangements.

​

4. No Agency, No Employment, No Guarantees

cOMmon does not act as an agent, broker, representative, employer, or partner of any Member.

cOMmon does not guarantee the identity, quality, safety, legality, suitability, or performance of any Member, space, project, activity, or arrangement. Members are solely responsible for assessing risks and making informed decisions.

​

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into agreements.

​

6. Registration and Account Security

You must provide accurate, current information and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity on your account.

cOMmon may suspend or terminate accounts in cases of fraud, misuse, harmful behavior, or violation of these Terms or community guidelines.

​

7. Member Responsibilities

All Members agree to:

1. Act with respect, honesty, and integrity.

2. Communicate clearly and in good faith.

3. Comply with applicable laws, permits, insurance duties, and safety requirements relevant to their own activities.

4. Take responsibility for health, safety, and sustainability in their activities.

5. Represent themselves and their offerings accurately.​
    

8. Member-to-Member Arrangements

All arrangements are made directly between Members.

Members are solely responsible for:

• defining terms (scope, timing, expectations, pricing or contribution form),

• ensuring permissions, safety measures, and compliance for their activity,

• handling changes, cancellations, and any outcomes.

cOMmon may provide tools that support coordination (for example confirmations, status updates, logs), but does not enforce performance and does not provide legal adjudication.

​

9. Jobflow Confirmations and Statuses

If the platform provides a jobflow with statuses (for example Request, Confirmed, Cancelled, Completed, No-show), these statuses are operational indicators within the platform.

They may be used for internal features such as reliability signals, reviews, or access decisions, but do not mean that cOMmon is a contracting party or guarantees any outcome.

​

10. Payments and Financial Responsibility

Unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific feature, any payments, exchanges, or contributions between Members happen directly between those Members and are their responsibility.

cOMmon is not responsible for collecting, holding, transferring, or refunding Member-to-Member payments.

​

11. Credits and Commitment Credits

Credits are internal units used within the platform. Credits are not money, not redeemable for money, and cannot be paid out by cOMmon.

If Commitment Credits are enabled in a flow:

• they function as a community incentive to encourage reliability,

• they may be transferred or adjusted within the platform based on clearly stated platform rules,

• they do not constitute a deposit, escrow, insurance, or legal compensation,

• they do not replace direct communication, fairness, or human judgment in exceptional circumstances.

• ​

12. Cancellations and Changes

Cancellations and changes for Member-to-Member Arrangements are determined by the Members involved, unless a specific platform feature clearly states internal platform consequences.

Contributions to cOMmon (such as memberships) are non-refundable unless required by applicable law.

​

13. Dispute Resolution and Community Process

Members are expected to first attempt to resolve disagreements directly and respectfully.

If unresolved, Members may request a community-based review or mediation facilitated by cOMmon as a voluntary process.

cOMmon may take platform measures based on observed behavior and community guidelines, including warnings, feature limitations, reduced visibility, or account suspension. cOMmon does not determine legal rights, does not award legal damages, and is not liable for dispute outcomes.

​

14. Reviews and Reputation

cOMmon may offer reviews, reliability indicators, or reputation signals.

Members agree that reviews must be respectful and factual, and must not include private data, harassment, discrimination, or allegations presented as fact without basis.

cOMmon may moderate, remove, or limit reviews that violate these standards and may allow responses or context where appropriate.

​

15. Platform Logs and Records

cOMmon may generate or display logs or summaries of interactions as a convenience feature.

Such logs are not guaranteed to be complete, accurate, or suitable for any legal purpose. Members remain responsible for their own record keeping if they need it.

​

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, cOMmon is not liable for any loss, damage, injury, or dispute arising from:

• Member-to-Member Arrangements,

• interactions between Members,

• use or inability to use the platform,

• reliance on content, profiles, reviews, or logs.

Members remain fully responsible for their own choices, agreements, and activities.

​

17. Privacy and Data Protection

Processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, aligned with GDPR principles where applicable.

​
