These Terms govern your use of the VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD platform https://go-work.co/. VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD ("VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD", "we", "us") is a company registered in England and Wales. By using our website or services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our platform.
01About Us
VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD is registered in England and Wales (company number 16834535). Our registered office is at 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, England, W1W 5PF. You can contact us at [email protected].
We operate an online platform that connects customers who need design work ("Clients") with designers who provide it ("Designers"). Together, Clients and Designers are "Users."
02Our Services
2.1Design Contests
A Client creates a design brief, pays the contest fee, and Designers submit design concepts. The Client picks a winner.
Standard Contest: The Client must pick a winner within 60 days of payment. If no winner is chosen and fewer than 60 days have passed, the Client may request a refund — provided no finalists have been selected.
Guaranteed Contest: The Client must pick a winner. Refunds are not available. If no winner is chosen within 60 days, the contest fee is distributed among eligible Designers. If a selected Designer fails to respond or complete the transfer process within 30 days of being requested to do so, VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD may cancel the award and select another Designer or issue a refund at its discretion.
2.2Design Projects
A Client works one-to-one with a Designer. The Client creates a brief, the parties agree on terms and price, and VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD invoices the Client. There are two types:
Fixed Price Project: The Client picks a package at a set price.
Individual Price Project: The Client and Designer negotiate a price. The Designer sends a quote through the platform, and VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD invoices accordingly. For Individual Price Projects, VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD acts as the Designer's limited payment collection agent — payment to VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD counts as payment to the Designer.
2.3Project Disputes
If a Designer has not delivered any work, the Client may cancel and request a refund within 60 days of payment. If work has been delivered but the parties cannot agree on a final design, either party may raise a dispute through the platform. Both parties should try to resolve it in good faith. If they cannot, VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD will decide the outcome, including any refund amount. If a project is cancelled for any reason, the Client has no right to use any design concepts produced during that project. VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD determination of disputes under this clause shall be final and binding unless required otherwise by applicable law.
03Intellectual Property
3.1Design Ownership
Intellectual property in a winning or final design transfers from the Designer to the Client only once both parties sign a Design Transfer Agreement. Until that point, the Designer retains all rights. The Client has no right to use any design concept other than the winning design transferred under the Design Transfer Agreement.
3.2Content You Upload
You keep ownership of any content you upload to the platform ("User Content"). By uploading it, you grant VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, display, and distribute your User Content for the purpose of operating the platform and providing the services. You confirm that you have the right to grant this licence and that your content does not infringe anyone else's rights.
3.3Platform Ownership
The platform itself — its design, code, branding, and all related intellectual property — belongs to VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of the platform to you.
04Payments
4.1How Payments Work
All prices are shown in pounds sterling (£) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable. Clients pay VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD directly. VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD then pays the Designer their fee after the Client selects a winning or final design. The Designer has no payment claim against the Client — only against VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
4.2Refunds
Refunds are made using the same payment method the Client originally used. VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD may issue a refund where:
- The delivered design is defective (both parties agree, or a credible third-party IP claim exists).
- VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD is required by law to do so.
- The Client placed a duplicate order in error.
- The order is found to be fraudulent.
Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Where a Client requests that services begin immediately and acknowledges that performance has commenced, the Client may lose any statutory right to cancel once the services have been fully performed.
4.3Credits
VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD may issue platform credits to your account. Credits are denominated in pounds sterling and can be used toward future services on the platform. Credits are not legal tender, cannot be transferred to third parties, and cannot be exchanged for cash except as expressly permitted by VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD. Credits are a contractual benefit only, and do not constitute electronic money, a deposit, or any other regulated financial product; VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD does not hold Credits as client funds on your behalf. Unused credits may be forfeited if your account is terminated for breach of these Terms.
4.4Tax
You are responsible for any tax obligations arising from your use of the platform, including VAT, income tax, or corporation tax as applicable. VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD is not responsible for calculating, collecting, or remitting your taxes.
4.5Third-Party Payment Providers
VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD is not a bank, payment institution, electronic money institution, money service business, or payment service provider. VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD does not itself process, hold, transmit, or settle payment card data.
All payment transactions on the platform are processed by independent third-party payment providers that maintain industry-standard security controls and PCI DSS compliance (or equivalent standards required by applicable law). The availability of any payment method is subject to the terms, conditions, and operational requirements of the relevant payment provider.
Your use of payment services may be subject to separate terms, conditions, privacy policies, and verification requirements imposed by the relevant payment provider. By making or receiving payments through the platform, you agree to comply with those requirements.
VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD is not responsible for the acts, omissions, errors, delays, security incidents, service interruptions, chargebacks, account restrictions, or other actions of any third-party payment provider. To the fullest extent permitted by law, VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD shall have no liability arising from payment processing services provided by third parties.
VIGILANTDEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LTD may change, add, or remove payment providers at any time without prior notice where reasonably necessary for operational, legal, security, or commercial reasons.
