This Agreement governs the relationship between Outsiders Network and the User . If the User does not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, the User must discontinue their use of the Services, as defined below.

1. Services: The User will have access to the various services provided by the Outsiders Network online services (the “Services”) from time to time, consistent with the level of service purchased by the User. Clients  may choose to obtain custom Services from Outsiders Network by entering into a custom Services Agreement that will incorporate these Terms of Service by reference (the terms of the Services Agreement shall be paramount to [and will govern] this Agreement solely to the extent that there is an inconsistency between these Terms and the custom Services Agreement).

2. Fees: User will pay Outsiders Network  its standard fees set out on the Outsiders Network website (www.outsidersnetwork.com) (the “Website”) from time to time for the level of service or level of subscription selected by the Client or Talent or if applicable as set out in a Services Agreement. Outsiders Network may change its standard fees or levels of service at any time, provided that such changes will not apply in respect of any then outstanding Services Agreement. Each Client  will be responsible for the payment of all fees Client has agreed to pay Talent for each job.  Talent will invoice the Client directly and the Client is solely responsible for paying Talent directly in accordance with the terms defined on the invoice and Talent Project Contract.  In addition, the Client will pay Outsiders a processing fee of 20% of the value of the day rate for each Talent, multiplied by the number of days for the project [plus GST]. Clients and Talent will also pay to Outsiders a subscription fee of $250 per year for the applicable Subscription service.  If the Client requests an Executive level of service, the Client will pay a fee to be quoted on a job per job basis.
