Terms

1. What msmm is

msmm is a curated broker between clients and independent creatives, operated by [Legal entity — to be confirmed]. A client sends one proposal; we match it with suitable creatives and coordinate the work. Creatives are independent professionals, not our employees. The contract for the creative work is between the client and the creative; we arrange it and handle payment.

2. Proposals and matching

Sending a proposal is free and does not oblige you or us to proceed. We may decline a proposal or decide not to work with a client or creative. A project starts only when the client accepts the proposal and pays as set out below.

3. Fees

• The creative keeps 100% of their quote. Nothing is deducted from it.
• msmm charges its fee to the client, on top of the creative's quote. The fee is shown in the proposal before you pay.
• Prices are in the currency stated in the proposal. Taxes, where they apply, are added.

4. Payment

Payments are processed by Stripe. At launch the client pays through a Stripe Payment Link; later, payments and payouts run through Stripe Connect. We pass the creative's full fee to the creative once the agreed payment terms for the project are met. Stripe's own terms apply to the payment itself.

5. Non-circumvention (12 months)

Clients and creatives introduced through msmm agree not to move that work, or related work with the same counterpart, off the platform for 12 months from the introduction. Doing so deprives msmm of the fee it earned by making the match. If it happens, msmm may charge the fee that would have been due on that work. Ongoing relationships that clearly predate the introduction are not affected.

6. Ownership of the work

Intellectual property rights in the finished deliverables transfer to the client on full payment of the creative's fee and msmm's fee for the project. Until then the client may use the work only for review. The creative keeps rights in their pre-existing materials and tools, and grants the client a licence to use them as part of the deliverables. Unless agreed otherwise, the creative may show the finished work in their portfolio, and msmm may show it to promote the platform. The creative confirms the work is theirs to deliver and does not infringe anyone's rights.

7. Cancellation

• Before the creative starts, the client can cancel and is refunded, less non-recoverable payment processing costs.
• After work starts, the client pays for work completed up to cancellation, in proportion to the agreed milestones; any remainder is refunded.
• A creative who must withdraw tells us promptly; we will help find a replacement or refund payment for work not delivered.

8. Creative applications

Applying does not guarantee acceptance. You confirm that what you send is accurate and that you have the right to share it. Your application is used only to review you, as described in the Privacy Policy. Your profile is published only if you join and approve it.

9. Acceptable use

Do not misuse the site: no unlawful content, scraping, interference, or attempts to access other people's data. We may suspend access if you do.

10. Liability

msmm provides a brokerage service and does not guarantee the outcome of any creative work. To the extent the law allows, msmm is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and its total liability for any claim relating to a project is limited to the fee msmm received for that project. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for fraud or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by: [Governing law and courts — to be confirmed].

12. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version, and changes do not affect a project already accepted. Questions: info@neuromancer.studio.
