3.2. Operation of the WEBSITE’s system of contracting.
By activating the account, YEEPLY allows Users to communicate with Clients and Developers. The Client can contract the provision of services by the Developers that may offer them, thanks to the different tools provided by YEEPLY.
The demand for provision of services (the Client posts the project), and the provision of them (the Developer makes an offer), is different depending on the situation of each during the contracting process:
1) Client: Posts a development project.
Companies, freelancers and self-employed professionals or individuals who demand the development of an application or any project related to mobile technology by third parties, will include the following project information:
- Title of the project
- Description of the requested project (development times, technical requirements, design, etc.)
- Application platforms
- Application category
- Estimated budget for the provision of the project
It is recommendable to offer as many and of high quality details as possible in order to receive better and of higher quality budgets from the developers.
2) The Developers prepare a technical-economic offer of the project
Developers interested in the project can prepare an offer for the client.
The offer must contain at least the following information, very clear and of a high quality:
- description of the offer and its content
- the list of milestones (it is recommended to include the milestones that constitute project implementation):
- development time
- the price of each milestone
In this offer the developer is responsible for suggesting the client making payments through the ESCROW system provided by YEEPLY.
3) The client can communicate with the group of Developers that make offers for him.
Communication between the Client and the group of preselected Developers is allowed in order to share doubts relevant to the project. In the offer stage, this communication will be public between the Client and the group of preselected Developers.
The User (Client and Developers) assumes that they cannot exchange contact information to manage the process externally to the WEBSITE. If a user does this, the other users are required to notify it at info@yeeply.com indicating this fact in the subject of the message so that YEEPLY proceed to the removal of the profile or profiles involved after verifying the facts.
As indicated above, the fact of exchanging contact information in the process of offers making may include removal of the profile of the involved one/ones and all their actions and contents on the WEBSITE. YEEPLY is empowered to decide the matter.
4) Selection of the winning Developer
Once all the offers have been received and analysed by the Customer and all the necessary questions and answers have been exchanged, he selects the winning Developer.
When the Customer accepts the offer, YEEPLY will notify the relevant Developer and he will have to pay YEEPLY the commission of the service according to the TCOC accepted at the registration process.
Moreover, both parties will have to accept these TCOC on the corresponding link of the notification email or on the WEBSITE in the corresponding section upon acceptance of the offer.

The contracting parties will receive a document via email that will state the agreement, terms of payment and the amount according to the following section 4 of these TCOC.
Considerations:
The project posted by the Client requesting the services of a Developer cannot be modified and is open to any of the WEBSITE’s Users that may make their offers for it unless the Client chooses the service of PRIVATE publication of the project.
YEEPLY will automatically notify the client every time an offer is received and he can accept or reject it.
Likewise, YEEPLY will communicate to the expert by email, when their offer has been accepted or rejected.
In no case will it be understood that YEEPLY has participated in the negotiation between both parties; the only service provided is the communication between the Client and the Developer.
Users (Client and Developer) are required to have all the necessary documentation to carry out the project and all permits and legal authorisations for the development of the activity, whether national or international; they are obligated to request or renew them if necessary.
The Customer may evaluate the Developer by completing a form about the service provided by the Developer in an objective way. This information will be accessible to other users of the WEBSITE and will serve for future selection processes in which the Developer is involved.
However, YEEPLY cannot guarantee the accuracy or authenticity of the evaluation the Client made about the contracted Developer who has provided him a service.
