Currently, the plans available from Shakers are:

  1. 4.DURATION

Access to the Website Services as a Client will begin once the data required for registration have been entered, after acceptance of the Privacy Policy, the General Conditions of Use and these Subscription Conditions.

  1. CONDITIONS OF EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT.

The Project will be executed by the Talents that, as a result of the negotiation made by the Client, are designated to carry out the same, as provided in the preceding clause. By virtue of these Subscription Conditions, the Client expressly agrees to make all communications related to the negotiation, development and execution of the Project through the Website.

The Client acknowledges that access to the Website and the Talent profiles contained therein is made on the understanding that the Projects shall be carried out outside the Client's offices. Therefore, as a general principle, it will not be required to travel to the Client's premises for the execution of the Project.

When, due to the needs of the Project, the physical presence of the Talent in the Client's offices is necessary, the latter will ensure that the Talent will also come with their own means and tools to carry out the Project in question and to reserve and grant them the spaces and conditions proper to those external to the company in accordance with their condition as Talent. Likewise, if occasionally this displacement is required by the Client to its offices, it will be the Client's responsibility to adopt all those internal measures that must be followed so that the Talent develops its activity as such and is identified in the Client's offices as an external professional who comes to the facilities in a timely manner to perform a specific work for a specific Project. The costs and expenses of such travel shall not be included in the fee previously negotiated with the Talent, unless otherwise agreed in the Project Documents.

The Talents shall execute the tasks and work established in the Project Documents according to the "Shakers Agile" methodology(https://www.shakersworks.com/nuestra-metodologia) and with their own material, technical and organizational criteria, having full freedom of schedule and vacation regime, all without prejudice to the execution deadlines and other circumstances that may be freely agreed in the Project Documents, according to the needs of the Client within the framework of the Project.

The Company guarantees the Client that it is an essential condition for registering on the Website, as Talent, to declare that he/she is a self-employed professional who does not have the status of an economically dependent employee of the Company or of any other entity. The Client shall inform Shakers if he/she becomes aware that such status has been changed or has reasonable doubts to understand that the Talent is or has become self-employed dependent of the Client.

Client acknowledges that the Talent(s) shall be given as much freedom as possible to perform the Project, all without prejudice to any deadlines for performance, the daily availability of the Talent and such other circumstances as Client and Talent may freely agree in the Project Documents for the performance of the Project.

The Client expressly agrees to provide the Talent with the necessary tools for the development and execution of the Project, in accordance with the provisions of the Project Documents. Likewise, the Client undertakes to adopt all such measures as may ensure its compliance and verification at all times, and shall hold Shakers harmless from any liability, damage or prejudice that may arise for it in case of breach by the Client with Talent of the obligations set forth in these Terms of Subscription and in the Project Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client, if so requested, may rely on Shakers Customer Success service for any analysis related to the Project.

If Client wishes to hire a Talent to whom it has entrusted the development of a Project through the Website, it must inform Shakers.


  1. 6.PRICE.

The Final Price that the Client will have to pay for the provision of the Website Services will be the one expressly indicated in the Project Documents and that will be validated between the Client and the Talent. In this regard, and depending on the plan chosen by Talent, the Client shall pay the Final Price as follows:

Hour Pool: the Client shall pay the Final Price directly to the Talent, in accordance with the contracted hour pool and other conditions set forth in the Project Documents.

Shakers Payments Plan: Client will pay Shakers in accordance with the payment schedule and other conditions set forth in the Project Documents. Shakers retains the amounts paid by the Client until the specific delivery of each milestone. Upon Talent's specific delivery of each milestone, Shakers shall pay to Talent the pro rata portion of the Final Price, in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the Project Documents. In case the Talent has chosen the Shakers Payments plan, Shakers shall be entitled to receive from the Client % of the agreed amount of the Final Price as remuneration for the services provided through the Website.

In the event that the Project is only partially executed, the Client shall be obliged to pay the proportional part of the Final Price corresponding to the work performed by the Talent within the framework of the partial execution of the Project.

All payments of the Final Price shall be made in Euros (€), unless payment in another currency is agreed in the Project Documents. The Final Price includes the commission due to Shakers for the Website Services.

Once the Project Documents have been validated, in the event that the Client requests the Talent to perform additional work within the framework of the Project, the Client and the Talent shall inform Shakers of the new conditions agreed upon, so that Shakers can generate the new Project Documents to be validated.
