Terms of use

These terms apply to everyone who uses alliance.itbanque.com or applies to join the itbanque Engineer Network. By submitting an application you agree to these terms and to the network rules.

1. Your account

• One account per person, signed in with your own GitHub, Google or Discord account.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us right away if someone else has used it.

2. Information you provide

• What you put in your application and profile must be true and accurate, and you keep it up to date.
• The work authorization you state must be true and remain valid while you take orders. If it changes, tell us immediately and pause.
• You confirm that taking orders does not breach any agreement with your employer or a third party, including moonlighting restrictions and IP assignment clauses.

If information is false or a statement stops being true, we may decline your application or suspend or end your membership.

3. Independent contractor

Members provide services as independent contractors. Nothing in these terms creates an employment, partnership or agency relationship between you and itbanque. You may decline any order, you choose when and where you work, you use your own equipment, and you are responsible for your own taxes and insurance.

4. Orders

• Membership does not guarantee work.
• Each order has its own statement of work covering scope, milestones, pay, timeline and IP ownership. Where a statement of work and these terms differ, the statement of work governs.
• Pay follows the network rules: your pay for each order is fixed when the order is created and written into its statement of work, milestones are paid within 15 days of acceptance, and itbanque backstops accepted milestones.

5. Confidentiality

Non-public information you receive through the network, including order briefs, client identities, code, data and pricing, may be used only to evaluate and complete the order it belongs to. This obligation continues after you leave the network.

6. Suspension and termination

• You may pause or leave at any time. Orders in progress need to be finished or handed over first.
• We may suspend or end your membership if you breach these terms, the network rules or an order's statement of work.
• Termination does not affect payment for milestones already accepted.

7. The website

The website is provided as is. We work to keep it available but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Do not interfere with it, bypass access controls or scrape other people's information.

8. Privacy

We handle your personal information as described in the privacy policy.

9. Changes

When these terms change, the version at the top of this page changes. We notify members ahead of material changes. Continuing to use the site or take orders after a change means you accept it.
