In addition, Chisel may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Service (or any features within the Service) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICES

The Service provides a way for businesses and other entities to obtain data analytics consulting or project-based assistance (an “Organization”) from professionals that have been identified, vetted and matched (a “Consultant(s)”) to your Organization’s needs, by Chisel, for short or long term engagements, or as a permanent hire for your Organization. Additionally, the Service allows for Consultants and Organizations to use the platform to facilitate and manage a cloud-based collaborative environment for Projects. Organizations can also use the Service’s platform, without retaining a Consultant, for such collaborative environment needs. Additionally, Consultants can search for other Consultants to collaborate on Projects.

Consultants and Organizations must be accepted by Chisel to use the Service. Once accepted to use the Service, Chisel will work with Consultants and Organizations to match a Consultant to an Organization for a specific project need of the Organization (the “Project”).

Chisel requires Consultants to have sufficient and meaningful tactical experience in acquiring and managing data and using statistical modeling to assimilate, distinguish, and professionally present the data to be part of the Chisel network and to use the Service.

Depending on the nature of the Project, Chisel provides an Organization with recommended Consultants for the Project from the pool of Consultants who apply to an Organization’s Project. The Organization makes the decision about retaining the Consultant and under what terms the Consultant will be retained, for example, a permanent hire as an employee or short-term or periodic engagements as an independent consultant. The terms of the engagement are up to the Organization and Consultant. Chisel is not a party to the dealings between an Organization and a Consultant. Once an Organization hires a Consultant through the Service, the parties may use the Service to manage the Project’s workflow, communicate and collaborate. Organizations must pay a hired Consultant through the Service (see paragraph 5 below).

Regardless of any recommendation of a Consultant by Chisel, Chisel does not make any representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to any such Consultant or any of their services. While Chisel may rely on data or information provided or generated by such Consultant while making a recommendation to an Organization of a Consultant or group of Consultants, the Organization acknowledges that Chisel specifically does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any such data and information provided by the Consultant and agrees that Chisel shall not be liable for any acts or omissions based on such reliance. Accordingly, the Organization expressly hereby releases and holds harmless Chisel from and against all claims, losses, liability, damages, expenses, costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and/or actions arising therefrom.
