How does Upwork assist with the terms and conditions of the contract?

[#1]

New to Upwork.  I have a contract I've used to hire contractors BUT does Upwork have a contract with terms and conditions I might look at to possibly replace mine?  

ALSO - I have all the software to manage the contractor and their activities (logging in, tracking time, and outcomes).  Is there reason/value Upwork would be needed in these interactions INCLUDING payments (I usually just pay through Venmo)? 

THANKS!

Hi Matthew,

You can refer to Upwork TOS here and specifically to Optional Service Contract Terms here. By using Upwork, you can benefit not only Payment Protection but also from multiple contract management tools.

Thank you!
