Schedule 1

This Schedule sets out the Services offered by Buzzzy, Inc. on the terms of this Agreement.

Part 1 - Buzzzy Payment Facilitation

Where the Client has selected to use the Buzzzy Payment Facilitation service, Buzzzy, Inc. will make payments to the Freelancer(s) on behalf of the Client based on Agreements.

At the end of each calendar month or more frequently as may be agreed in writing with the Client, Buzzzy, Inc. will send a single invoice to the Client. The invoice will include:

  • all approved Invoices within the Client’s ‘Organization’ (as defined in the Buzzzy Platform Terms and Conditions) and per project;
  • the corresponding Buzzzy Fee for the Service; and
  • any applicable Value Added Taxes (VAT)

Where Buzzzy, Inc. provides Payment Facilitation to Client, it will only pay Freelancer(s) once it has received funds from the Client of the total amount to cover the full invoice, including the Fees owed to Buzzzy, Inc., unless Buzzzy Credit is agreed between Buzzzy, Inc. and the Client.

The Client acknowledges that Buzzzy, Inc. engages the services of third-party payment providers to deliver the Payment Facilitation services. Buzzzy, Inc. does not pass on any costs and/or bank transaction charges incurred in processing payments by third parties, however, if there are intermediary bank charges these will be passed on to the Client.

Part 2 - Buzzzy Credit

Buzzzy Credit is only applicable if Buzzzy Payment Facilitation services have been agreed. Buzzzy Credit enables Client’s Freelancer(s) to be paid before Buzzzy has received funds from the Client. Buzzzy, Inc. will settle the invoiced amounts for the preceding month up to the monthly credit cap amount, which is set out in the Request Form.

Buzzzy, Inc. reserves the right to provide Buzzzy Credit service with the aid of external third-party providers in the form of Debt Factoring, or Invoice Discounting at an extra fee, which will be disclosed to the Client, and will be equal to the sum which Buzzzy, Inc. is charged by the credit provider.

Buzzzy, Inc. reserves the right to increase, decrease or close the Buzzzy, Inc. Credit facility for the Client at any time by providing 15 days written notice to notify of its intention to do so.
