1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms & Conditions form a binding agreement between you and AfterWorks Inc. ("AfterWorks", "we", "us") covering your use of the AfterWorks platform, through which we connect people with paid micro-work ("the Platform").

By creating an account you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Notice. If you do not agree, do not create an account — the Platform is not available to you on any other basis.

You confirm you are at least 18 years old, or that you have the written authority of a parent or guardian who has agreed to these Terms on your behalf. Accounts registered by anyone under 18 without that authority may be closed without notice.

2. Accounts, and one account per person

An account is created once, using an email address you control and a mobile phone number you control. Both are permanent identifiers of your account and both must belong to you alone.

• One email address may be used for exactly one AfterWorks account. One mobile phone number may be used for exactly one AfterWorks account.
• You may not create, or help anyone else create, a second account to claim a reward, work, or a referral bonus more than once.
• Accounts created in bulk, or whose identity documents do not match, may be suspended or closed, and any credit on them may be reversed.
• You are responsible for everything done through your account. Keep your password to yourself, and tell us immediately if you think someone else has access.
• We may ask you to re-verify your email or phone number at any time, and may suspend an account whose contact details stop working.

3. Identity verification (KYC)

Before you can take paid work or receive a payout we must verify your identity. Verification is carried out by our identity-verification provider; you upload your document directly to them, and the document itself is not stored on AfterWorks servers — we keep only the outcome and the reference.

We record that you were verified, when, and by which provider. If verification is declined, put on hold, or later revoked, the account returns to the corresponding restricted state: applications stop, withdrawals stop, and any referral code stops working.

4. Finding and completing work

Job listings are invitations to apply, not guarantees of work. We decide which applications to accept. You may only hold one active application per job, and you may not apply to a job you are not eligible for.

When you are accepted, you must complete the work to the standard the listing requires and submit it by the deadline. Work that fails quality review may be returned for revision; repeated failure lowers your quality score, which affects which work you are offered.

• Do not submit work that is not your own, copied from another worker, or produced with automated tools where the listing prohibits them.
• Never share a client’s data outside the Platform, and remove it once the assignment ends.
• Do not contact clients directly, or attempt to take an assignment off-platform.

5. Earnings, clearing and withdrawals

Approved work is credited to your pending balance immediately. Pending earnings sit through a clearing window so that a client can raise a quality issue before money leaves the Platform. After clearing they move to your available balance.

You may request a withdrawal once your withdrawable balance reaches the minimum withdrawal amount. A request claims the amount you asked for (shown as "held") until it is paid, rejected or cancelled, and you may only have one request open at a time.

Withdrawals are paid to payout details in your own name only. A payout to a number or account belonging to someone else is not a withdrawal and cannot be recovered.

We convert to your local currency at the rate shown on the Platform at the moment the payout is processed, and that rate may differ from the rate displayed at the moment you requested it.

6. Welcome and referral rewards

We may offer a welcome reward for completing your profile, and a referral reward for each person you successfully refer. These are promotional credits, not wages, and we may change, reduce or withdraw them prospectively — but never from an account that has already qualified.

The full referral rules — including when a referral qualifies, the weekly limit, the identity requirement, and the anti-abuse measures — are set out in the Referral Program section below and form part of these Terms.

• A reward is credited once per qualifying event and never twice, however many times a page is reloaded or a request retried.
• Reward money clears and withdraws exactly like earned money: it is not instant, and it is not a top-up of a balance you may spend immediately.
• Rewards may be reversed if the account that earned them is found to be fraudulent, duplicated, or in breach of these Terms.

6A. The referral program

You can invite people to AfterWorks with your personal referral code. When someone signs up with your code and completes their profile, $3.00 is added to your pending balance. There is no cap on how many people you can refer, but every referral must be a real person who really signed up.

The bonus clears into your available balance on the same schedule as paid work, and it is withdrawable once it has cleared and you have reached the minimum withdrawal amount.

• Earn $3.00 per qualified referral. When someone signs up with your code and completes their profile, $3.00 is added to your pending balance. There is no cap on how many people you can refer.
• A referral qualifies when their profile is complete. The bonus is released the moment the person you referred fills in their profile — name, phone, location, bio, skills and languages. Until then the referral sits as “awaiting profile” and nothing is owed.
• The bonus clears like any other earning. Referral money goes into your pending balance and clears into your available balance on the same schedule as paid work. It is withdrawable once it has cleared and you have reached the minimum withdrawal amount.
• One person, one referrer, forever. An account can only ever be attached to one referrer, and the attachment cannot be moved. You cannot refer yourself, and neither can anybody else refer you using their own address.
• Your identity must be verified. Your code only works while your own identity verification is complete. If your verification is rejected, suspended or later revoked, referral credit stops and any bonus already released may be reversed.
• Fair use. Signups are capped at 25 per referrer per rolling week. Bulk messaging, purchased lists, spam, or accounts created to farm bonuses are not referrals and will be reversed without notice.
• No guaranteed earnings. The bonus is a fixed amount per qualified referral. It is not a share of what the person you referred earns, it does not compound, and it cannot be withdrawn before the clearing window ends.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for anything unlawful, or to harass, defraud or exploit any client, worker or member.
• Attempt to access another person’s account, documents, wallet or referral code.
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, overload, or interfere with the Platform or its APIs.
• Circumvent the clearing window, the one-request-at-a-time rule, the weekly referral limit, or any other limit we set.
• Sell, rent or share your account or referral code as though it were a product.

8. Suspension, closure and disputes

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms, that fails verification, or that we reasonably believe is fraudulent. Where money is involved we explain what happened, and a suspension that turns out to be a mistake is reversed along with any credit it removed.

If you disagree with a decision, write to us at the address below with your account email and the decision. We aim to respond within 14 days.

9. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The version number and effective date at the top of this page always identify the text that applies. When a change is material we will ask you to accept the new version before you continue using the Platform, and your account will record which version you accepted and when.
