Can I use client's feedback I receive here, as a testimonial outside Upwork?

[abhibth91]

The feedback provided by the clients on my profile is public. So, I was just wondering, if a freelancer can copy those feedbacks and use as a testimonial on social media or other forums outside Upwork. Would that violate the Terms of Service or anything?

I have not seen anything indicating it would. It would also serve as a benefit to UW particularly if you mention UW or point back to your profile here. A win-win.

Yeah, if the feedbacks can be used outside, I can mention Upwork.

But I don't want someone complaining to Upwork that <this> freelancer used <this> feedback here, which may be violating the terms. Don't want my account suspended. So, it would be great if someone can confirm that it's good to use.

Hi Abhijeet, 

I can confirm that this does not violate any of Upwork's Term of Service.
