Independent Contractor Relationship

No part of Contractor’s compensation will be subject to withholding by Client for the payment of any social security, federal, state or any other employee payroll taxes. Contractor may perform the services required by this Agreement at any place or location and at such times as Contractor shall determine. Contractor agrees to provide all tools and instrumentalities, if any, required to perform the services under this Agreement.
Standards for Professional Conduct
Your subscription and potential long-term relationship with VirtuallyinCredible are subject to our Standards for Professional Conduct. By subscribing to our service/s (Phone Tenders, Virtual Assistant, Video-SEO), you agree to conduct yourselves, including but not limited to all staff members and customers, to these standards, understanding that failure to do so may result in our team not being able to deliver exceptional customer service. Below are the six standards of conduct expected from you when dealing with our firm:
- Be respectful.
We won't all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behavior. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that frustration to become personal attacks, yelling, or using inappropriate language. An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one. Our staff is trained and empowered to discontinue any conversation that is disrespectful and to note the same in our records. From time to time we choose not to renew our agreements with people who repeatedly cross these boundaries with us. - Be considerate.
We realize moving and dealing with Property Management issues can be stressful, and we go out of our way to accommodate reasonable needs and requests. Your decisions might affect your team’s workload and you should take those types of consequences into account when making decisions. - Choose your words carefully.
Always conduct yourself professionally. Be kind to others. Remember that we are here to help you and provide quality service that lives up to our reputation standards. However, when circumstances combine to make it challenging to meet the expectations of a customer, we will communicate that frankly and professionally - and appreciate your doing the same. - Be inclusive.
We welcome and support people of all backgrounds and identities in compliance with the Fair Housing Act. This includes, but is not limited to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level, color, immigration status, sex, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability. - Be truthful.
If you find it challenging to meet the terms of your agreement, tell us exactly why. We might be able to help you and pledge to do our best when given the opportunity to help you. When we cannot help and must enforce a contract with you, try to understand why. Differences of opinion and disagreements are mostly unavoidable. What is important is that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. - Make differences into strengths.
We can find strength in diversity. Different people have different perspectives on issues, and that can be valuable for solving problems or generating new ideas. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that we all make mistakes, and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere.
Billing and Payment
All VirtuallyinCredible transactions are based and calculated on the U.S. Dollar and you agree to pay VirtuallyinCredible for all rates and charges. Charges will begin accruing on the date VirtuallyinCredible receives your written, or online application. For convenience, your Independent Contractors are paid in the currency of the country in which they reside. A subscription to the Independent Contractor Service may require a credit card number or voided check for billing, depending on your program. By providing your credit card information or voided check, you grant VirtuallyinCredible authorization to submit charges to that credit card number or to debit your bank account for your use of the Independent Contractor Service each month. Charges on your Credit or Bank Statements will show as Home Property Management, II.
The rates for an Independent Contractor Service period are charged in advance of the upcoming period of service. All usage charges based on “per minute” rates will be billed in arrears based on actual usage. Any other applicable charges (such as setup fee, surcharges, taxes, etc.) will also be billed to you. You acknowledge that the amount charged by VirtuallyinCredible may vary based on your usage of the Independent Contractor Service. All invoices are due upon receipt. Any charges left unpaid for 30 days will be subject to a monthly service fee of the lesser of 1.5% of the outstanding balance, or the maximum legally allowable interest rate. If charges applied to our credit card or bank account are rejected, VirtuallyinCredible reserves the right to assess a processing fee.
If you place your account “on hold” or “on vacation,” some charges may be suspended. However, you acknowledge that you are responsible for any usage charges that may have accrued before that time, as well as the current month’s service fee and all service fees debited to your account while the service is “on hold” or “on vacation.” Please contact VirtuallyinCredible’s customer service for specific information regarding your service plan.
You understand that failure to pay charges as required will result in the disruption of your Service and your account being turned over to an outside collection agency. You agree to pay the account balance, late fees, and collection charges if VirtuallyinCredible places your account with an outside collections agency.
You grant permission to VirtuallyinCredible to check your credit history and rating, and to refuse you service or suspend your account at any time based on our evaluation of your creditworthiness. VirtuallyinCredible will establish a credit limit for your account. If the total charges on your account exceed your credit limit at any time, your alternate method of payment will be charged.
Billing Statements
You will have access to a billing statement for each month that you incur Service charges. Unless you notify VirtuallyinCredible in writing of any dispute regarding your statement within forty-five (45) days (or such longer period as may be required by law, if any) after the date the statement was made available to you, the charges on the statement will be deemed to be accepted by you for all purposes, including resolution of any inquiries made by your credit card issuer, if applicable.
Inflation Rate Indexing
Rates supplied in these terms and conditions shall be subject to review and may need to be adjusted periodically based on the actual inflation rate, to be able to afford to pay all staff members a living wage.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance:
VirtuallyinCredible and its subsidiaries warrant their compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, including the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001), and all relevant regulations promulgated thereunder. No pending or threatened action, suit, or proceeding regarding anti-money laundering laws involving VirtuallyinCredible or its subsidiaries is known.
Clients warrant that they have implemented compliance programs that are reasonably designed to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and with the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control rules and regulations. All parties agree to file appropriate notices under section 3 I4(b) of the Patriot Act. Further, if any party becomes aware of circumstances that must be reported as a suspicious transaction under applicable regulations, such party shall make reasonable efforts to provide information regarding those circumstances to the other parties, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Restoration:
Should client payment be more than 10 days overdue, VirtuallyinCredible shall require a deposit that is equivalent to the client's average monthly bill for the past three months. Also, VirtuallyinCredible requires a secondary mode of payment (ACH or credit card). This will be used if the primary method is declined. Until these requirements are satisfied VirtuallyinCredible will suspend services. Payments that go beyond 30 days will result in a termination of the account and any unpaid balances will be turned over to a collection agency or a legal firm.
VirtuallyinCredible will reserve a number for a client who's in suspension for a maximum of 60 days and the client will be responsible to pay the costs associated in order to either have the number released or to resume service.
Right to Monitor and Record all calls.
As a quality control measure and in pursuit of continuous improvement, VirtuallyinCredible maintains the right to record and/or monitor all calls received and made by your account. These recordings may be used for training, quality control, continuous improvement practices, or as otherwise deemed necessary by VirtuallyinCredible. You agree that calls made to or by your VirtuallyinCredible Service may be monitored and/or recorded.
Call Recording Feature
When the call recording feature is enabled, a message informing all parties that the call is being recorded will be enabled by default. All parties must be notified when a phone call is being recorded. By disabling the automatic ‘This call may be recorded’ message, you agree to notify each caller and callee that the call is being recorded.
Disposition of Call Records
VirtuallyinCredible will cooperate with authorities on the provisioning of voice or fax messages, call recordings, or your identification information in cases where our services have been used illegally or in an unauthorized manner.
Discretion in Sharing Content Provided by Others
When recording phone calls, remember that all parties on the call must be informed that the call is being recorded, as outlined by the FCC guidelines for recording telephone conversations. Visit www.fcc.gov for more information.
Holiday Schedule

We will operate with limited staff on the following USA Holidays:

Cancellation
Your Service may be canceled with written notice by either party at any time, with or without cause. VirtuallyinCredible may suspend, interrupt, or cancel your service, without notice, for non-payment, or if VirtuallyinCredible reasonably suspects it will not receive payment, or for any violation by you of these Terms and Conditions.
After your Service is cancelled for any reason, you agree that VirtuallyinCredible is authorized to invoice you for any outstanding balance and you agree to pay it. VirtuallyinCredible will not refund a prorated portion of monthly service fees in the event that you cancel Service part way through your billing cycle. If a refund is due, it will be done in the same way the payment was made, or in a form of credit. Subsequent reinstatements of Service after cancellation are subject to a Service reinstatement fee.
Compliance and Cooperation
VirtuallyinCredible requires its Services to be used lawfully and in compliance with all regulations and governing bodies. You agree that your access to and your use of your Service account is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
VirtuallyinCredible will cooperate with federal, state, and local authorities and with injured third parties when asked for information about an account or a telephone number or during the investigation of any suspected crime or civil wrong attempted or perpetrated by using, or attempting to use, the Service. You understand that VirtuallyinCredible will examine any and all portions of your Service to cooperate with such requests and you hereby consent to such examination. You also understand that VirtuallyinCredible will provide the contact information for your account to any federal, state, or local authority who makes a reasonable written request for such information or if necessary to clear up VirtuallyinCredible’s involvement in a regulated activity associated with your Service. You grant consent to VirtuallyinCredible to provide this information.
VirtuallyinCredible reserves the right to identify and restrict the same or substantially similar electronic mail and/or fax messages, whether or not commercial, to a large number of recipients (sometimes known as spamming). Because VirtuallyinCredible has no practical ability to restrict all communication, conduct, or content which might violate these Terms and Conditions prior to its transmission on VirtuallyinCredible’s systems, and because VirtuallyinCredible cannot ensure prompt removal of any such communications or content after transmission or posting, VirtuallyinCredible does not assume liability for you or others for any failure to enforce the terms of these Terms and Conditions.
Fraudulent and Abusive Use of the Services
VirtuallyinCredible helps protect you against fraudulent use of your Services with private usernames and passwords, credit card verification upon sign up, and daily and monthly usage limits. You are responsible for controlling access to and maintaining the security of your username and password. You shall notify VirtuallyinCredible of any usernames and passwords which are lost, stolen, or suspected of being used fraudulently by contacting VirtuallyinCredible’s customer service. You agree that you are liable for all charges incurred prior to and within 24 hours after you request VirtuallyinCredible customer service to deactivate your usernames and passwords. You agree to not engage in or assist others in fraudulent or abusive use of the Services.
Limited Access to Your Data
You hereby authorize your Independent Contractor(s) ‘limited right and access’ to use your software as needed to perform only the tasks for which they are paid.
