In such cases, the amounts paid for the cancelled order will be returned to the User’s Hunarly Balance and will be deducted from the Freelancer’s Hunarly Balance or, if there are no sufficient amounts in the Freelancer’s Hunarly Balance, from future revenues of such Freelancer.

User Generated Content
User Generated Content (“UGC”) refers to the content added by users as opposed to content created by the Site. All content uploaded to Hunarly by our users (Users and Freelancers) is User Generated Content. Hunarly does not check user uploaded/created content for appropriateness, violations of copyright, trademarks, other rights or violations. We invite everyone to report violations together with proof of ownership as appropriate. Reported violating content may be removed or disabled.
Furthermore, Hunarly is not responsible for the content, quality or the level of service provided by the Freelancers (even if they are Pro Freelancers, Top Rated Freelancers or otherwise). We provide no warranty with respect to the Gigs, their delivery, any communications between Users and Freelancers. We encourage users to take advantage of our rating system, our community and common sense in choosing appropriate services.
By offering a service, the Freelancer undertakes that he/she has sufficient permissions, rights and/or licenses to provide, sell or resell the service that is offered on Hunarly.
Ownership
Ownership and limitations: When purchasing a Gig on Hunarly, unless clearly stated otherwise on the Freelancer’s Gig page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the User is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyrights for the work delivered from the Freelancer, and the Freelancer waives any and all moral rights therein. The delivered work shall be considered work-for-hire under the UK Copyright Act. In the event the delivered work does not meet the requirements of work-for-hire or when UK Copyright Act does not apply, the Freelancer expressly agrees to assign to User the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to User shall be subject to full payment for the Gig and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work shall be the exclusive property of User, and Freelancer assigns all rights, title and interest in the delivered work. Some Gigs (including for custom created work) charge additional payments for a Commercial Use License. This means that if you purchase the Gig for personal use, you will own all rights you require for such use, and will not need the Commercial Use License. If you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration, or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a Gig and will have broader rights that cover your business use.
For Voice Over Gigs, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the User is purchasing basic rights, (which means the User is paying a one time fee allowing them to use the work forever and for any purpose except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots). If you intend to use the Voice Over to promote a product and/or service (with the exception of paid marketing channels), you will need to purchase the Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) through Gig. If you intend to use the Voice Over in radio, television and internet commercials, you will need to purchase the Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) through Gig. For further information on the type of buy-outs, please read below.
Freelancers further confirm that whatever information they receive from the User, which is not public domain, shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared or used for any purpose whatsoever other than for the delivery of the ordered work to the User.
Furthermore, users (both Users and Freelancers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Hunarly, including Gig texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Hunarly for no consideration for marketing and/or other purposes.
Voice Over Commercial Buy-Out
When purchasing a Voice Over Gig, the Freelancer grants you a perpetual, exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the purchased Voice Over (except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots).
By purchasing a Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) with your order, in addition to the basic rights, the Freelancer grants you with a license to use the Voice Over for any corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes. Corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes means any business related use for the creation of, or to promote a for-product profit or service (with the exception of paid marketing channels), such as (by way of example): explainer videos posted to company websites, social networks or email campaigns, audiobooks, podcast intros, and strictly excludes any illegal, immoral or defamatory purpose.
By purchasing a Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) with your order, in addition to the Commercial Rights, the Freelancer grants you with a license for full broadcasting, which includes internet, radio, and TV “paid channels” including (by way of example): television commercials, radio commercials, internet radio, and music/video streaming platforms, and strictly excludes any illegal, immoral or defamatory purpose.
This Buy-Out is subject to Hunarly’s Terms of Service. There is no warranty, express or implied, with the purchase of this delivery, including with respect to fitness for a particular purpose. Neither the Freelancer nor Hunarly will be liable for any claims, or incidental, consequential or other damages arising out of this license, the delivery or your use of the delivery.
