As a company owner using VPM Solutions, it's important to follow the Non-Circumvention policy to protect your business and ensure smooth transactions. This guide explains the policy and how to stay compliant.
Key Responsibilities for Company owners:
-
Keep All Contracts and Payments Within the Platform
- All agreements and payments related to services performed through VPM Solutions must remain on the platform.
- Avoid offering or accepting payment methods outside the platform (such as direct transfers or third-party payment platforms).
-
Respect the Non-Circumvention Period
- During the Circumvention Period (two years after the final use of the platform), you cannot directly hire virtual assistants you met on VPM Solutions outside of the platform without prior written consent.
- Doing so can lead to account termination and potential legal action.
-
Exceptions for Pre-Existing Relationships
- If you had an established working relationship with a virtual assistant before using VPM Solutions, this policy does not apply to your situation. Inform the platform accordingly.
-
Penalties for Circumvention
- Non-compliance can result in serious penalties, including account suspension or termination. Additionally, virtual assistants requesting off-platform payments may face fines and bans.
-
Opt-Out of the Non-Circumvention Period
- If you wish to formalize an off-platform work relationship with a virtual assistant you hired through VPM Solutions, you can pay a Circumvention Fee of $2,500.
- Contact VPM Solutions at Info@VPMSolutions.com for more details on opting out.
-
Maintain a Professional and Clear Work Relationship
- Ensure all work-related discussions, contracts, and financial matters are managed through the platform.
- This helps you maintain transparency and ensures compliance with platform policies.
Conclusion: Adhering to the Non-Circumvention policy safeguards your business relationships and ensures continued access to VPM Solutions' pool of talented virtual assistants. Always manage contracts and payments through the platform to avoid penalties and keep your work compliant.
