I, the service provider, acknowledge that I have read this Agreement in full, understood its content and its legal, operational, and financial effects, and agree to be bound by it and by all the policies and documents supplementing it, including the Terms of Use, the Financial & Regulatory Policy, the Privacy Policy, the Code of Conduct, the Reports & Disputes Policy, and any instructions, notices, or policies the platform adopts.

I also acknowledge that I provide my services via Būlum as an independent service provider, that Būlum is an intermediary and organized technology platform that does not provide the service, does not deliver it, and does not guarantee its quality, results, or the service seeker's satisfaction with it, and that I am solely responsible for the quality of my services, the accuracy of my data, and my compliance with the laws, values, and adopted policies.

I acknowledge that I am not an employee, agent, representative, partner, or subordinate of Būlum, that I may not claim that or use the platform's name, mark, or logo in a way that suggests official representation beyond the limits of the adopted use within the app.

I acknowledge that my financial entitlements do not become final merely by booking or payment; rather, they are subject to delivering the service, the end of the dispute window, reviewing reports, the platform fees and operational fees, the payment provider's and bank's procedures, the settlement schedule, and any restrictions, suspensions, deductions, or financial reviews the platform determines per the Financial & Regulatory Policy and the adopted policies.

I acknowledge that I fully refrain from circumventing the platform, dealing outside it, requesting or sharing external means of communication with the intent to bypass it, or requesting or receiving any amounts outside the app in exchange for services that arose, were offered, were booked, or were accessed through Būlum, and that any breach of this is a material breach allowing the platform to take the necessary measures, including suspending or terminating the account, holding or cancelling the entitlements, claiming compensation, or notifying the competent authorities.

I acknowledge that I bear full responsibility for any content, description, service, output, act, or obligation issued by me within the platform or by reason of a service that arose via it, and I undertake to indemnify Būlum for any damage, claim, or loss arising from my breach of this Agreement, the policies, or the laws.

I acknowledge that my continued use of the platform, offering of services, acceptance of requests, or delivery of services after the publication of any update to this Agreement or the policies, or my notification of it through the adopted channels, is deemed acceptance of and commitment to that update.

End.
