5. Platform operation
5.1. Service offer
When a Business meets a one-time need for a specific service, the Business generates a Service Offer containing the essential characteristics of the required Service.

The Business may also configure certain functionalities so that the Service Offer is addressed as a priority to the Talents it has chosen to identify. Talents can choose to indicate their unavailability and availability in respect of potential Services to be rendered via the Platform. By doing so, Talents do not receive Service Offers corresponding to times when it has indicated that it is unavailable. Businesses have the opportunity to view the unavailability and availability of Talents they have chosen to identify. For the avoidance of doubt, the decision as to when time is allocated as available or unavailable is at the sole discretion of the Talent, and may be changed by them at any time.
A Service Offer is considered unprovided if no Talent responds within a time limit freely determined by Brigad. When the Service Offer is considered as such, the Talent can no longer accept it and it is no longer visible.
5.3. Acceptance of the Service
Talents receive Service Offers through a push notification via the Application and may accept the Service Offer using the corresponding functionality.
The first Talent responding positively to the push notification is allocated performance of the Service with the Business. The information that he/she has entered in his/her Account will then be sent to the Business, which is informed of the Talent’s acceptance.
Once the Talent has accepted the Service, the Service Agreement is formed between the Talent and the Business and it is generated on the basis of the Service Provision Contract template provided in Appendix 1 of these GTCU. The Talent performs the Service and the Business remunerates the Talent in return for the Service.
The Talent is never required to respond to nor accept any Service Offer and will not face any adverse consequences on the Platform in relation to their rate of acceptance of such Service Offers.

11. Duration, suspension
11.1. Duration
The GTCU, if applicable as amended under the conditions provided for in Article 3.4, apply throughout the duration of the relationship between Brigad and a User, i.e. from their acceptance by the User concerned at the time of the creation of his/her Account (and at the time of his/her first connection following the modification of the GTCU) and throughout the period when the User uses the Platform, without prejudice to the cases of suspension provided for in these GTCU.
11.2. Suspension of access to the Platform
When a User has breached any of its commitments under the GTCU, Brigad may temporarily and without notice suspend certain features of the User Account concerned and/or certain Platform Services to which it has access, and in particular the ability, for Talent, to receive Service Offers and, for Business, to create them.
After a period during which the Talent whose account has been suspended may provide explanations, access to all the functionalities of the Platform and/or all the Platform Services may be restored, or the Account of the User concerned may be permanently suspended in accordance with the stipulations below.
11.3. Permanent suspension of the User Account for convenience subject to compliance with a notice period
Brigad and each User is free to permanently suspend, at any time and for convenience, the Account of the User concerned (his Account, in the case of the User), by sending an email or letter to the other party, with acknowledgement of receipt (if by letter and confirmation of sending if by email), subject to notice that varies according to the duration of existence of the User Account concerned from its creation date:
- during the first 6 months of existence of the Account, 15 days;
- between 6 months and 1 year of existence of the Account, 1 month;
- between the first year and the second year of existence of the Account, 2 months;
- between the second and third year of existence of the Account, 3 months;
- and so on.
11.4. Permanent suspension of the User Account without notice and without formal notice
In the event of a serious breach of one of the stipulations of the GTCU, Brigad and each User may permanently suspend, without prior notice and without prior formal notice, the Account of the User concerned (his Account, in the case of the User) by sending an email or letter to the other party, with acknowledgement of receipt (in the case of a letter, and proof of sending in the case of an email). For example, it is considered a serious breach leading to the definitive suspension of the Account of the User concerned automatically, without this list being exhaustive:
- For Talent: failure to comply with the tax and social obligations incumbent on it in the country in which it operates or failure to provide the elements mentioned in Article 7.9 above, failure to honour the Services under the conditions of Article 6.2 of the GTCU, violent, inappropriate or inappropriate behaviour on the Platform or with regard to a Business.
- For the Business: non-payment of a Service due to a Talent or means of payment that do not work on a recurring basis (for example resulting in repeated payment delays), violent, inappropriate or inappropriate behaviour on the Platform or with regard to a Talent.
- For Brigad: repeated technical malfunctions preventing the proper use of the Platform by Users.
11.5. Suspension of the User Account
Each User undertakes to fully perform the commitments that he/she has subscribed to before the suspension of his/her Account (for example, for Talent, to complete the Services in progress and to honour the Services provided under a Service Offer accepted before the suspension of his/her Account (or withdraw at the latest 24 hours before the start of the Service), and for Business, to allow Stripe to deduct the price of the Services in progress or planned).
The suspension (temporary or definitive) of an Account may not give rise to any compensation between Brigad and the Users.
In any event, the suspension of an Account (including definitive) does not necessarily result in the deletion of the Account concerned, which can be maintained with limited access to certain Platform Services and/or functionalities (for example, in order to allow the User concerned to have access to the information necessary to comply with his/her tax and social obligations). The suspension of an Account also does not result in the cancellation of the Service Agreements concluded between a Talent and an Business before the suspension of the Account concerned.(including final)
The provisions of these GTCU shall in any event survive the suspension of an Account, (i) until the completion of the Services in progress and/or provided for under a Service Offer accepted before the suspension and (ii) for the purpose of asserting and/or executing all the rights and obligations of Brigad and the Users concerned, provided for herein, in connection with said Services (in particular invoicing, payment and any recourse/liabilities under the conditions provided for in these GTCU).
12. Autonomy and independence
The Users and Brigad each carry out their activities in total autonomy and independence, each bearing the risks related to its activity.
As an independent self-employed service, Talent with an Account is free to use the Platform as much as he/she wishes in compliance with these GTCU. Brigad has no leadership powers with respect to Talent. Similarly, when receiving a Service Offer, Talent is free to accept or refuse it in compliance with these GTCU. As for the Business, it is not subject to any minimum obligation to use the Platform.
Users are not subject to any obligation of exclusivity vis-à-vis Brigad. Talent is free to use other platforms, to find services that meet their skills by any other means or to provide their services to their personal clientele or through other intermediation platforms.
