A. Subscription. The Worksmith Service is provided hereunder on a monthly subscription basis. Client may utilize the Worksmith Service to engage Local Providers to perform the Provider Services subject to a Service Order. Each Service Order contains fields that Client may use to describe the requested service. Upon submission of a Service Order, the Worksmith Service will notify Client that the Service Order has been accepted by a Local Provider and such notice shall include the Local Provider’s information, service delivery timeframes or any other pertinent information as applicable.
B. Subscription Fees. The basic subscription for the Worksmith Service is provided free of charge.

As such, Worksmith shall not be responsible for the quality of the services, risk of loss, defective services or other non-performance by a Local Provider. All payments by Client for Provider Services shall be made through the Worksmith Service and shall be due immediately upon receipt of the Worksmith invoice.
