These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of the services provided by Sam Mgmt, Inc. (“Sam”) and constitute a legally binding agreement between Sam and any party engaging with its services (“User,” “You,” or “Entity”). By accessing or utilizing Sam’s services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must refrain from using Sam’s services.

The term “Platform” refers to the proprietary business framework, processes, and services operated by Sam Mgmt, Inc. to recruit, vet, and manage Independent Contractors, and to facilitate the connection between these contractors and entities seeking their services.

1. Age Restrictions
Sam’s services are strictly available to individuals 18 years of age or older. Sam does not knowingly collect or process personal information from individuals under 18. If you are under 18, you are prohibited from accessing or using Sam’s services. Furthermore, Sam does not engage, contract with, or employ any professionals under the age of 18. Any violation of this provision will result in immediate termination of service access.

2. Recruitment, Vetting, and Management
Sam maintains a proprietary network of Independent Contractors who are pre-vetted through an internal recruitment and assessment process. This vetting process is conducted solely at Sam’s discretion and does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of any Independent Contractor’s qualifications, performance, or suitability for specific engagements. Sam functions exclusively as an intermediary facilitating connections between Independent Contractors and entities utilizing Sam’s platform. Sam expressly disclaims any liability for the actions, omissions, or performance of Independent Contractors once engaged. Any entity engaging an Independent Contractor through Sam does so at its own discretion and risk.

3. Engagement Terms
The Terms set forth herein, along with any referenced policies, constitute a legally binding agreement between Sam and any party utilizing its services. Any breach of these Terms may result in the immediate termination of services, suspension of access, or legal recourse as deemed appropriate by Sam.

4. Payment Structure
All payments for services facilitated through Sam are processed through Stripe. Engagements require full compliance with Sam’s invoicing terms, which are as follows:

  • Contracts of 3 to 6 months: Monthly payments are due in accordance with the agreed schedule.

  • Contracts exceeding 6 months: Payments are invoiced quarterly.

  • Initial payment requirement: Engagements shall not commence until the first payment is received in full.

Payments not received within 5 calendar days of the due date shall result in immediate service suspension and are subject to a late payment fee of 5% of the outstanding balance. Sam reserves the right to pursue legal action for unpaid fees. Failure to remit payment without following proper contract termination procedures shall constitute a material breach of this agreement.

5. Contract Duration
Contract engagements facilitated through Sam are established for a minimum term of 3 months and a maximum term of 1 year. Agreements are subject to renewal or auto-renewal in accordance with the notice terms specified in the respective service contract.

6. Termination Policy
Contracts facilitated through Sam may only be terminated under the conditions outlined in the governing agreement. If an issue arises with an Independent Contractor, Sam will make reasonable efforts to replace the contractor within 5 business days, provided that the termination request falls within the contractual terms. Unauthorized contract terminations or non-compliance with notice provisions shall be considered a material breach.

7. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sam disclaims all liability once an Independent Contractor is engaged by an entity through its platform. Sam shall not be responsible for any damages, losses, claims, or liabilities arising from the work, conduct, or contractual obligations of Independent Contractors. Liability, if any, shall be strictly limited to instances where Sam fails to provide a contractor as agreed, and in such cases, liability shall not exceed the fees paid for service facilitation.
