Provider through the Site, DrupalJob deducts the following amounts: (1) the "Service Fee" that DrupalJob earns for

creating, hosting, maintaining, and providing the Site, and for all services delivered by DrupalJob that are

accessible through the Site, and (2) the "Payment Processing Fee" to cover expenses and fees DrupalJob

incurs to banks, credit card companies, PayPal, and payment processors. After deducting such amounts,

DrupalJob transfers the remaining payment amount to the Provider. The total amount of the Service Fee plus

the Payment Processing Fee deducted by DrupalJob varies according to the Provider's volume of Provider

Services, as detailed on the Site. If you are a Provider and believe a Service Fee might be in error, please

participation on the Site, as detailed in Provider Membership Fees and on the Site.

for additional fees. Such features and fees are described in detail here. DrupalJob may also charge fees for

Inactive Accounts, as described in the Billing and Payment Service Policy, and Dormant Escrow Accounts,

as described in the General Escrow Instructions.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the parties, either party may terminate the contractual

agreement represented by this Agreement at any time upon notice to the other party. In such event, your

Account is automatically terminated and (i) DrupalJob shall continue to perform those DrupalJob Services

necessary to complete any open transaction between you and another Member; and (ii) you shall continue

to be obligated to pay any amounts accrued but unpaid as of the date of termination to DrupalJob for any Site

Services and to any Providers for any Provider Services.

Any termination of an Account will automatically lead to the termination of all related Team Accounts, and

any termination of a Team Account gives DrupalJob the right to terminate any or all related Accounts and Team

Accounts.

Without limiting DrupalJob's other remedies, we may issue a warning, or temporarily suspend, indefinitely

suspend or terminate your Account or a Job, and refuse to provide any or all Site Services to you if: (a) you

breach the letter or spirit of any terms and conditions of this Agreement or the linked policies and information

incorporated herein by reference, including our written policies and procedures posted on the Site or linked

here; (b) we suspect or become aware that you have provided false or misleading information to us; or (c)

we believe in our sole discretion that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our Members or for

DrupalJob or are contrary to the interests of the Site or the DrupalJob user community. Once indefinitely

suspended or terminated, you must not continue to use the Site under the same Account, a different

Account, or reregister under a new Account.

In addition, violations of this Agreement may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and may result in

additional penalties and sanctions.

Without limiting DrupalJob's other remedies, to the extent you engage in actions or activities which circumvent

the DrupalJob Site or otherwise reduce fees owed DrupalJob under this Agreement, you must pay DrupalJob for all

fees owed to DrupalJob and reimburse DrupalJob for all losses and costs (including any and all DrupalJob employee

such fees.

DrupalJob reserves the right to terminate any User access, Account, or Job for any reason or no reason, at its

sole discretion and to refuse to provide registration and membership to you in the future. We will notify you

if we cancel your membership, unless in our judgment giving notice would cause a risk of further violation or

damages. However, we will notify you that your Account will be canceled if the law requires such notification.

When your Account is terminated for any reason, you may no longer have access to data, messages, files

and other material you keep on the Site. The material may be deleted along with all your previous posts and

proposals. The sections entitled "RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIENTS AND PROVIDERS,"
