By utilizing Croux, you agree to abide by the Talent Guidelines.
Payment processing services for Users through Croux are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms or continuing to operate as a User on Croux, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time.

Upon scheduling of a Gig, any Talent compensation and Service Fee shall be transferred to Croux’s Stripe Account and held in escrow.

Prior to payout for a Gig, Croux shall deduct $0.50 per hour of services completed by Talent to cover Occupational Accident Insurance.
Croux Members will be charged a fee for "Instant Payout" withdrawals from their Croux balance. Croux reserves the right to change the Instant Payout fee at any time.
In consideration for the services provided by Croux, all charges include a service fee, and the Employer agrees to pay Croux the applicable service fees then in effect (“Service Fees”).

Clerical errors include without limitation minor mistakes or unintentional or duplicate Charges.
Employers will also be required to pay an ongoing membership/subscription fee to Croux for use of the Services for each location or unique operation that Croux supports.

If Employer does not agree to the membership fee, Employer must terminate their membership by contacting Croux at support@croux.co.
Subscriptions to the Platform shall be auto-renewing and the applicable rates for access to the Platform may increase at Croux’s sole discretion. In the event of a rate increase, Croux shall supply all users thirty (30) days’ notice of any rate increase prior to that increase going into effect.

The Direct Hire Fee shall be charged regardless of (a) how the opportunity came about (Talent contacting Employer, Employer contacting Talent, or Talent applying to public job posting), (b) whether there are different Employer personnel involved in the direct hire of the Talent and previous engagement of the Talent through Croux; or (c) Employer notifies Croux of such direct hire or engagement of the Talent.
