Relationship between Client and Freelancer

Freelancer does not have authority to enter into written or oral - whether implied or express - contracts on behalf of Client. Freelancer acknowledges that FINDNERD does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Freelancer's work or Services performed in any manner. FINDNERD does not set Freelancer's work hours and location of work, nor is FINDNERD involved in determining if the compensation will be set at an hourly or fixed rate or in setting the particular rate for a service contract. FINDNERD will not provide Freelancer with training or any equipment, labor or materials needed for a particular Contract.
