In this Offer, where the context admits, the definitions given below shall have the following meanings:
“Confidential Information” means results of the Services, and any other information, including any text, documents, files, photos, images, videos and other media files, provided to, or created by, the Contractor under this Agreement, regardless of whether in tangible, electronic, verbal, graphic, visual, or other form.

Any natural person who has an intent to provide the Services shall send an e-mail to Customer’s e-mail address with evidences supporting his/her skills and experience attached. Customer shall at its sole discretion evaluate skills and experience of such person and provide either the Quote for Services or refusal to conclude the Agreement for any or no reason. If Eligible Individual accepts the Quote for Services by sending an e-mail to the Customer e-mail address with the following wording “I have read and agree with the Quote for Services and the terms of the Offer available at http://helpo.company/public-offer.html”, the Agreement is deemed to be concluded and comes into force on the date when the relevant e-mail is received by the Customer (the “Effective date”).
By accepting the Quote for Services, the Contactor and the Customer (the “Parties”) consent to electronically receive, via their e-mail, all records and notices, such as terms, notices, and communications, in respect of the Services provided to the Customer under the Agreement.
