Exchange of services between customer and freelancer
If there are contractual relationships between customers and freelancers, the respective exchange of services between the parties takes place on their own responsibility and without interference by PMR. The activity of PMR is limited to the mere transfer of orders or the placement of freelancers. The PMR does not undertake any obligation to provide services or trades; it assumes no responsibility for the service or the work. PMR specifically assumes no warranty or guarantee of type and quality of services provided by the freelance services.
PMR reserves the right to continuously develop the platform and to expand, change, reduce or even completely discontinue the range of services. Under certain circumstances, this can lead to a change in the usual range of functions. Users are not entitled to the use of free services. PMR can change or limit the functional scope of free services at any time at its own discretion, without (warranty) claims for reduction or compensation. Insofar as the functional scope of chargeable services is changed or restricted, the parties shall proceed in accordance with § 12 (2).
PMR endeavors to make the services available to the user as comprehensively as possible.

In any case, the PMR will inform the user concerned about the main reasons for doing so.
After the platform has exchanged services, the users are given the opportunity to carry out a reciprocal evaluation. If this option is used, these ratings follow the requirement of objectivity. § 4 para. (4) applies accordingly.
The parties provide materials to PMR in the use of the platform to describe their projects or the knowledge and skills of the freelancer. The parties guarantee that they have all rights of use required for this purpose, in particular to those designated in § 4 (4) (a).
