Last updated: July 3, 2025

This Agreement is made between:

You (the “Contributor”) and TradeSource360, a platform currently in development, operated by its founder and leadership team.

By submitting this form or offering your time and skills to support the development of TradeSource360 in any way — including (but not limited to) design, development, content creation, research, marketing, or strategy — you agree to the following terms:

1. Nature of Relationship

  • You are joining voluntarily, and no payment or compensation is promised at this time.
  • This contribution does not create an employment, contractor, or partnership relationship.
  • You are free to stop contributing at any time, and we will respect your decision.

2. Ownership of Work

  • All contributions made to TradeSource360 — including code, content, designs, research, or strategies — become the exclusive intellectual property of TradeSource360 and its founder.
  • You agree that your work can be used, modified, and published as part of the TradeSource360 platform or brand.
  • You waive any personal claim to the use, ownership, or resale of your contributed work within this context.

3. Confidentiality

  • You agree to keep confidential any private or internal information shared with you — including platform roadmaps, monetization plans, user data, or technical designs.
  • You will not share or distribute any private TradeSource360 materials outside the team without written permission.

4. Attribution

  • You may be publicly recognized on the platform (e.g., “Founding Contributor,” “Volunteer Team”) if you opt in.
  • You are allowed to list your role in your CV or portfolio (e.g., “Volunteer Contributor, TradeSource360”) with a brief description of your contributions.

5. Non-Competition

  • You agree not to reuse or clone the ideas, code, or structure of TradeSource360 to build a competing platform without express written permission.

6. Good Faith Clause

  • You agree to act in good faith to support the vision of the platform and not act in ways that harm its growth, reputation, or safety.
  • TradeSource360 reserves the right to remove any contributor who violates these terms or engages in unethical behavior.

7. Future Opportunities

  • While no compensation is offered now, contributors may be considered for future paid roles, partnerships, or equity, based on involvement, trust, and mutual agreement.
  • This agreement does not guarantee any future compensation, but your support will be highly valued.

8. Legal Jurisdiction

  • This agreement is governed by the legal standards of Nigeria and the United Kingdom, depending on the context of enforcement.
  • Any disputes will first be addressed informally and privately before considering legal steps.

By joining the TradeSource360 volunteer team, you confirm that:

  • You understand and accept the terms above
  • You are contributing voluntarily and in good faith
  • You assign all relevant work to the platform as part of its future development
