Overview of Our Services
To ensure the quality of the ClearDesk, LLC experience, we have established terms of service for mutual benefit. Violation of these rules may result in the termination of your account.
-
Non-Transferability: Requests and tasks assigned to your ClearDesk remote team members are non-transferable. You may purchase a plan for others, but ownership of your ClearDesk, LLC account is not transferable.
-
Weekly Hour Limits: All ClearDesk, LLC plans are subject to weekly hour limits based on plan type. Unused hours do not carry over to the following week.
-
Price Adjustments: ClearDesk, LLC reserves the right to adjust monthly subscription prices without notice after the contracted period. Additional fees may apply for custom solutions outside standard service offerings.
-
Payment Issues: If a credit card or form of payment is declined, the client has 48 hours to resolve the issue. Failure to do so may result in termination or suspension of service by ClearDesk, LLC.
-
Material Breach: Any agreement for services requiring payment outside ClearDesk, LLC constitutes a material breach and may result in cancellation without a refund.
Term
ClearDesk, LLC's plans are structured as monthly agreements, commencing on the onboarding date of your remote team members. It should be noted that specific industries and groups may have time commitments that override this standard arrangement.
Requests & Tasks
Each request (task) for your ClearDesk remote team members must be submitted by phone, email, or SMS. You’re welcome to submit multiple tasks at one time. You will have one ClearDesk remote team member dedicated to your tasks and needs. Furthermore, you may request a change of remote team members at any time, at no additional cost. This process will be completed by us within a reasonable time frame (usually 1-2 weeks), though exceptions may occur.
If you ever feel your service could be improved, you can contact us by telephone or email at help@cleardesk.com.
Ownership and Confidentiality of Work Product
If a ClearDesk remote team member creates original work for you, such as research projects, reports, templates, spreadsheets, forms, etc. (“Work Product”), ClearDesk, LLC grants you a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-transferable license to use the Work Product for your own personal and commercial purposes.
You retain sole ownership of your confidential information and intellectual property. To avoid doubt, if your confidential information or intellectual property is incorporated into the Work Product, it will be removed before any use or disclosure by ClearDesk, LLC to a third party.
As used in these Terms of Service, your confidential information means non-public information that you provide to ClearDesk, LLC or a ClearDesk remote team member, including your personal information (e.g., name, social security number, credit card information), but excludes information that (1) becomes public other than through unauthorized disclosure; (2) was known to ClearDesk, LLC or a ClearDesk remote team member before disclosure; (3) is developed independently by ClearDesk, LLC or a ClearDesk remote team member without using your confidential information; or (4) ClearDesk, LLC is required to disclose by law.
As used in these Terms of Service, your intellectual property means patents, trademarks, copyrights owned by you, and any insights, knowledge, or ideas provided by you related to the creation of the Work Product.
7-Day Money-Back Guarantee
If for any reason you are not fully satisfied with your assistant within the first 7 days of service, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee. To request a refund, please notify us in writing by the 7th working day of service.
Termination of Service
We reserve the right to terminate a ClearDesk, LLC client’s service at any time, for any reason. If this occurs, you will receive a prorated refund at the standard monthly rate for any prepaid period.
Rarely and under exceptional circumstances, we may terminate our relationship with a client for reasons including:
-
Constant requests for tasks outside the service plan without feasible solutions.
-
Abusive behavior towards ClearDesk remote team members or others.
-
Requests for illegal or unethical tasks.
To terminate service, we require a written request a minimum of 5 business days before the beginning of the next service period.
Non-Solicitation Provision
I acknowledge that ClearDesk has made substantial investments in recruiting, training, and matching skilled ClearDesk assistants with each of its members including me, and that ClearDesk has a legitimate interest in earning a reasonable return on those investments. I also acknowledge that ClearDesk has agreements with ClearDesk assistants that protect this interest by requiring that ClearDesk assistants obtain ClearDesk's prior written consent before accepting any direct engagement (whether as an employee, consultant, contractor, or otherwise) with the ClearDesk member to whom they were assigned.
Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, I agree that during my membership and for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with ClearDesk for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, I shall not directly or indirectly solicit any ClearDesk assistant who is assigned to me at that time or who was assigned to me within the six months preceding termination of my relationship with ClearDesk to leave his or her employment with ClearDesk and to work for me in any engagement directly or indirectly.
Should any solicitation by me become a substantial factor resulting in a ClearDesk assistant leaving ClearDesk and accepting an engagement with me directly or indirectly without ClearDesk's consent, I agree to pay ClearDesk as liquidated damages calculated to compensate ClearDesk for its lost investments and not as a penalty of any kind, a one-time fee equivalent to two years of my monthly ClearDesk subscription in effect at the most recent date that the ClearDesk assistant had been assigned to me by ClearDesk.
