1. Services
The Services constitute a technology platform that allows members to utilize their individual personal skills and time by creating tasks and finding help for them through Shouter. In this regard, it is made clear that Shouter merely facilitates the overall contact between the members, as the members themselves arrange and plan all tasks (shouts) individually and together (hereinafter referred to as the "Final Agreement"). Any Final Agreement is entered into between users without any liability on Shouter.
All information about tasks and transactions offered through Shouter is based solely on the information provided by the users who offer the necessary personal and task-related information, and Shouter assumes no obligation to review individual members' accounts and qualifications to either carry out projects and tasks or engage with each other through the Services. However, Shouter always ensures that only identity-verified users can bid on tasks. The Services are provided as a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license.

Members are fully responsible for all information, such as images, text, and other content advertised and subsequently provided in a final agreement. If a member wishes to enter into an agreement, the member can send a request and a message in a bid. When a Doer wants to make an agreement, they can send an offer with a message and price. All communication regarding the task must take place via chat for both the Shouter (task owner) and the Doer (task taker). It's important to note that exchanging phone numbers, addresses, and other personal details, as well as attempts to pay outside the app, are strictly prohibited. Shouter reserves the right to review all communication between users if there's suspicion of violating these rules. Violations can lead to users being suspended from the platform without prior notice. These guidelines ensure that members are not cheated, left behind, or try to circumvent the service Shouter offers.
The final agreement is entered into through the Services, and if online payment is enabled, members will be able to pay by credit card via a secure payment terminal provided by Shouter's third-party payment provider.
