Fees and Charges

There are no Sign up or Monthly Fees.

The platform is free to use with free monthly packages. Paid packages are available for higher volume use.

Virtual Service Providers/Freelancers pay a referral fee on their earnings of 2,75% of the accepted bid amount to cover costs. This is deducted from the Hirers payment when they pay.

On Jobvir, prices are quoted in US Dollars as a reference point, but all transactions occur in Bitcoin.

Once a Dollar price has been agreed upon between Employer and Service Provider, and the employer chooses to accept the bid, the employer will make a payment in Bitcoin at the market rate of USD to BTC at that time. That is what the Service Provider will earn (minus referral fee commission).

For Employers

Projects

Jobvir is free to sign up, and allocates a set monthly amount of 5 non-cumulative free posts to list a project, receive bids from Freelancers/Virtual Providers, review the Virtual Provider’s portfolio and discuss the project requirements. If you use up your allotted free projects in the month, you may purchase more. The purchase price depends on the package you choose.

There are three package types:

FREE

You get a minimum of 5 FREE projects each month depending on your profile level. Each project will be displayed for 15 days. These are non-cumulative.

STANDARD

This plan includes 10 projects for $10. Each project will be displayed for 30 days.

PREMIUM

This plan includes 30 projects for $20 Each project will be displayed for 40 days.

Payment Return Fees

Should an Employer or Freelancer for any reason choose to cancel an ongoing project and wins the dispute a minimum network transfer fee of $1.25 will be levied for the refunded amount.

Arbitration Fees

The arbitration fee for a payment dispute is $10.00 USD or 5%, whichever is greater.

Our dispute resolution system is designed to allow both parties to resolve issues regarding payments amongst themselves without arbitration.

After 7 days of a dispute being filed either party may elect to move the dispute to paid arbitration. The other party will then have a further 7 days to agree to pay this fee and for both parties to submit any final evidence. If the other party fails to pay within time, they will lose the dispute.

The arbitration fee will then be refunded to the winner of the dispute.

There is a flat rate fee of the crypto equivalent of *$1.25 at the time of transfer to transfer your refunded Bitcoin amount to a crypto wallet of your choosing to cover network fees. Refunds may take up to 7 days to process. A Fastrack option is available for a fee. There may be additional fees levied by your wallet provider or the crypto currency transactions exchange itself.

We impose a minimum withdrawal, after fees, of BTC 0.005.

*We reserve the right to alter the network fee charge in cases of extreme  BTC volatility.

Projects Introduction Fee

For fixed price projects, if you are awarded a project, we charge you a project referral fee relative to the value of the selected bid. If you are subsequently paid more than the original bid amount, we will also charge the project referral fee on any overage payments.

The project referral fee for fixed price projects is 2,75% of the accepted bid amount, which is deducted from the Freelancers earnings when the hirer pays the accepted bid amount.

There may be additional fees levied by your wallet provider or the crypto currency transactions exchange itself.
