LEGAL & POLICIES
Terms of Service
Last updated: September 2026 · Effective immediately for all VERORA members and clients.
1. The Proof-First Principle
VERORA operates on a deliverables-first model. Freelancers showcase verifiable source repositories, live applications, design systems, and verified platform deliverables. Misrepresenting authorship, plagiarizing source code, or falsifying repository commit history constitutes grounds for immediate account termination.
2. Milestone Escrow & Payments
All agreements are structured around transparent milestone escrow. Clients fund or record agreed contract amounts prior to work commencement. Funds are released exclusively upon client approval of the milestone deliverables. Commission fees are assessed only upon successful contract completion according to our published sliding scale (10% on the first $500, 7.5% up to $5,000, 5% thereafter).
3. Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual property in custom work created pursuant to a paid contract transfers to the client upon full release of milestone escrow payment, subject to explicit contract amendments. Pre-existing tools, open-source libraries, and portfolio demonstration proofs remain the property of their respective creators.
4. Anti-Spam & Platform Integrity
Clients are limited to 5 concurrent active job postings to prevent clutter. Automated application bots, generic proposal spam, and off-platform payment circumvention are prohibited to preserve network trust.
