Добрый день.
Подскажите, пожалуйста. На Upwork имеется Пользовательское соглашение, в котором прописана вроде бы довольно немалая ответственность фрилансера. Там прямо сказано: "Вы обязаны возместить весь ущерб в случаях ...." Вот текст:
spoiler19. INDEMNIFICATION
You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Upwork, our Affiliates, and our respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to any claim, suit, proceeding, demand, or action brought by you or a third party or other User against an Indemnified Party relating to: (a) use of the Site and the Site Services by you or your agents, including any payment obligations incurred through use of the Site Services; (b) any Service Contract entered into by you or your agents, including, but not limited to, the classification of a Freelancer as an independent contractor; the classification of Upwork as an employer or joint employer of Freelancer; any employment-related claims, such as those relating to employment termination, employment discrimination, harassment, or retaliation; and any claims for unpaid wages or other compensation, overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, retirement benefits, worker’s compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other employee benefits; (c) failure to comply with the Terms of Service by you or your agents; (d) failure to comply with applicable law by you or your agents; (e) negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud by you or your agents; and (f) defamation, libel, violation of privacy rights, unfair competition, or infringement of Intellectual Property Rights or allegations thereof to the extent caused by you or your agents.
Поскольку на Upwork есть немало российских ИП (у которых ответственность - всем имуществом), насколько опасно работать на Upwork с этой точки зрения? Разве не может возникнуть (хотя бы теоретически) ситуация, когда заказчик обвинит фрилансера в ущербе и выставит огромные иски? Можно ли как-то себя обезопасить от подобных проблем, и нужно ли вообще? Может, надо как-то дополнительно с заказчиком договариваться?
