Excerpts:

• Buyers cannot request free work, work payable by some profit-sharing scheme, work that’s offensive, or work that promotes illegal activities including copyright violations. (page 125)
• Buyers who believe their copyrights have been violated may find refuge through the site’s copyright/trademark/patent infringement complaint procedure described in full at its Copyright Violations page. (page 126)
• Should the Buyer and Seller not be able to come to agreement on acceptance, (including but not limited to copyright to deliverables, whether deliverables meet requirements and whether work acceptance should occur), both parties agree to designate Exhedra as sole mediator and arbitrator (two distinct roles). (page 167)
• If you discover such material in your deliverable, arbitration is not only justified, it’s time critical since if you accept and distribute the deliverable as your own, you could place yourself at risk for a copyright infringement lawsuit. (page 331)
• One of the problems with overseas outsourcing however is that non-U.S. countries aren’t necessarily bound to U.S. copyright and patent laws. So while your project may be legally protected — here, there’s no telling what isn’t protected — over there (where ever “there” may be). (page 375)
• As a professional, you’re expected to follow the same copyright laws as anyone else. At RentACoder, you’re expected to check your project for copyrighted material before accepting it and paying for it. (page 378)
• All deliverables will be considered “work made for hire” under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (page 386)
