Just want a clear answer in regards to Skype

Now I read the safety stuff and I even did a search in the community. Now in regards to when clients reply back when you put in a proposal, I have noticed that basically all of them have messaged me about going to skype or whatnot. Is all communication about any particular job supposed to be all on this site. Looks like I get conflicting answers when I did a search on the message boards here.

Hi Heidi,

 

Taking communications with a client off of Upwork before a contract is in place is against our Terms of Service. All conversations before a contract is started must be through Upwork Messages, where you can send messages, have video calls, and more. 

 

Thank you!
