The Service

Gigapay provides an administrative support system for handling invoicing and paying out compensation etc for task-based work. The Service enables the User and the Client to minimize their administrative burden. Gigapay is striving to reduce the friction between the different parties within the new so-called gig economy.

After the User (Client) has registered at Gigapay, they have the full responsibility to acquire and carry out tasks that generate incomes and is bound to, in relation to Gigapay, keep Gigapay free from any damages or refund claims that the Client (User) may direct towards the other party, even though Gigapay is the formal counterpart to both the User and the Client.

Use of Gigapay

To use Gigapay, the User must have a registered company in Sweden including a Swedish bank account, in addition the company must be registered for VAT and company tax (so called F-skatt) It is not permitted to act on behalf of someone else and thereby receive compensation on behalf of another physical or legal person’s work.

The compensation is fully commission-based and is conditional upon the Client paying out the commission. The following terms in relation to the task are applicable:

• The task is acquired and carried out by the User and invoiced by Gigapay towards the Client. After Gigapay has received the payment for the invoice, Gigapay will perform self-billing. This means that Gigapay, as the buyer of the task, creates an invoice on behalf of the User.
• The User accepts that Gigapay on the User’s behalf can create an invoice and that it is the responsibility of the User to control that the invoice is correct before accepting the payout. After the invoice has been accepted, Gigapay will pay the invoice to the bank account specified by the User.
• The User agrees that the task invoiced through Gigapay, means that Gigapay is the formal counterpart of the User and that there is an assignment based agreement between the Gigapay and the User. By using the Service the User and the Client have a mutual responsibility towards each other and shall keep Gigapay outside of any damages that may arise due to circumstances that are not related to the administrative support service that is provided by Gigapay.
• Every single task carried out through Gigapay constitutes a new relationship between Gigapay and the User, and between Gigapay and the Client. The relationship ceases to exist without notice at the day of the payment.
• It is up to the User and the Client to, between themselves, decide the specifics of the assignments.
• Gigapay enables the User to claim their payout as soon as the full payment has been received from the Client. In some specific cases the payment can be made available before the full payment has been made, for instance if it has been agreed upon between Gigapay and the parties.
• Gigapay will invoice the full amount specified with the exception of fees or taxes that may be connected to the usage of the Service.
• Other costs incurred by the User to acquire or carry out the Service cannot be passed onwards to the Client and will not be reimbursed or compensated by Gigapay.
• The User and the Client must handle certain administrative tasks connected to the Service, for example, but not limited to, accounting and declaring and payment of taxes.
• In the event that the representative of the User previously has used Gigapay as a physical person, these Terms and Conditions will supersede Gigapay’s Terms and Conditions related to physical persons.
