Contra.Work Inc. provides various services to third parties via its Platform. For a full description of our Terms of Service, please see our page here. This page provides additional Terms and Conditions relating to Contra’s Client Referral Program (the “Program”). On this page, “You,” and “Referrer” collectively refer to Users who participate in the Program. We would like to offer You the ability to participate in the Program.

These Terms and Conditions, along with Contra’s standard Terms referenced above form the complete agreement between Contra and You with respect to Your participation in the Program. By creating a unique Company Referral Link, You are confirming that You have read these Terms and agree to be bound by them as well as Contra’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, in Our sole discretion. If We make changes to these Terms, We will update them here and notify You via electronic means, which may include email. It is important that You review the Terms whenever modified, because Your continued participation in the Program after such notification is Your affirmation that You agree to be bound by the modified Terms.

Notwithstanding anything stated in these Terms, in no event will either party’s aggregate liability under these Terms exceed the total fees paid by Contra to Referrer hereunder. This limitation of liability will not apply where, under the applicable law, statutory damages exceed the limitation of liability. In that instance, the indemnifying party will indemnify the indemnified party for any and all losses exceeding this limitation of liability section.
