The Independent Contractor Agreements

Please review and agree to our core operating principles.

• Platform Liability & Execution
• Platform Ownership & Reallocation
• Right of Substitution
• Absolute Freedom of Work
• Final Self-Employed Declaration
• Future VAT & Pricing Adjustments
• Platform Fee Modification
• Payment Gateway Processing Fees

01. Platform Liability & Execution

PAPEPO is a technology matching platform. While PAPEPO sets strict service guidelines and bio-security standards, you (the contractor) are solely liable for the physical execution of the service and any risks involved.

02. Platform Ownership & Reallocation

The Platform holds absolute ownership over all customer accounts, subscription data, and routing slots. Handlers are strictly prohibited from claiming exclusive rights to any specific customer or route. PAPEPO reserves the right to reallocate, modify, or remove any route at its sole discretion.

03. Right of Substitution

After accepting a route, you have the right to assign a substitute (e.g., a friend, employee, or another registered PAPEPO Handler) to fulfill the job on your behalf. The platform only requires the service specification to be met and does not restrict the work to be done personally by you.

04. Absolute Freedom of Work

You have absolute freedom to log on, log off, accept or reject jobs at any time. The platform enforces no minimum hours, no penalty mechanisms for rejected work, and does not restrict you from working for competitor platforms or private clients.

05. Final Self-Employed Declaration

I confirm that I am registering as an Independent Contractor (Self-employed). I understand that I am responsible for my own taxes (HMRC), National Insurance, self-provided equipment, and Public Liability Insurance. PAPEPO provides platform matching services only and does not establish an employer-employee relationship.

06. Future VAT & Pricing Adjustments

I acknowledge that if PAPEPO becomes legally required to register for UK VAT, standard VAT will be added to the customer's gross bill. Because the platform operates on a minimal-margin model to support handlers, PAPEPO cannot absorb this tax. I accept that this necessary price increase will be passed to the customer, which carries an inherent risk of client churn or cancellation.

07. Platform Fee Modification

I understand that the current PAPEPO Platform Fee of £1.00 per visit is a highly subsidized introductory rate designed to support small business handlers. PAPEPO reserves the right to review and adjust this platform fee in the future with prior notice to sustain ongoing technical and operational costs.

08. Payment Gateway Processing Fees

I agree that all third-party payment gateway fees incurred via Stripe—including but not limited to card processing fees, payout transfer fees, and refund fees—are my sole responsibility. These fees will be automatically deducted from my gross earnings prior to payout via Stripe Connect.
