User Agreement: www.antworker.co.za
AntWorker operates an online platform allowing Users to connect through the AntWorker Platform with other Users who provide Services.
Please read these terms and all Policies including the Community Guidelines and Privacy Policy carefully before using the AntWorker Platform. These Policies are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
All defined terms in this Agreement have the meaning given to them in the AntWorker Glossary.
1. SCOPE OF ANTWORKER SERVICES
Basic Principles
- 1.1 AntWorker provides the AntWorker Platform to enable Posters to publish Posted Jobs.
- 1.2 Workers may make an Offer in response to a Posted Job. Some parts of Offer details may be made publicly available, including to internet users who are not Users.
- 1.3 A Poster may revoke or modify a Posted Job at any time before he/she accepts an Offer. AntWorker reserves the right to cancel all Offers on a Posted Job made prior to the modification.
- 1.4 If a Poster accepts an Offer on the AntWorker Platform, the Posted Job is assigned to that particular Worker. At this point, a Job Contract is created between the Worker and the Poster.
- 1.5 Upon creation of a Job Contract, the Poster must pay the Agreed Price for the Posted Job into the Payment Account.
- 1.6 Upon creation of the Job Contract, AntWorker has rendered AntWorker Services and the Connection Fee is due and payable.
- 1.7 Once the Job Contract is created, the Worker and Poster may vary the Job Contract on the AntWorker Platform. The Poster and Worker are strongly encouraged to use AntWorker’s private messaging system to amend or vary the Job Contract (including the Agreed Price) or to otherwise communicate.
- 1.8 Once the Services are complete, the Poster will be notified and must respond by either releasing payment or disputing that the Job has been completed within 10 days. Should a response not be received from the Poster, the Job will be automatically deemed to have been completed satisfactorily and (subject to any restrictions noted below in paragraph 1.9) payment will be released to the Worker.
- 1.9 Following confirmation by both the Worker and the Poster that the Posted Job has been completed, or if AntWorker is satisfied the Services have been completed, subject to any restrictions (e.g. a dispute or failure to complete required verification processes), the Worker Service Fee will be payable and the Worker Funds will be released by AntWorker from the Payment Account to the Worker.
- 1.10 After the Job Contract is completed, the parties are encouraged to review and provide feedback of the Services on the AntWorker Platform.
Worker Listing
- 1.11 AntWorker may also provide a Worker Listing feature enabling Workers to publish Offers for Services.
- 1.12 AntWorker may publish Worker Listings from time to time in its absolute discretion.
- 1.13 A Poster may request to book a Worker Listing by clicking on the Request Booking button and completing the booking request. The Worker may then make an offer to perform the Job. When using Worker Listing, a Job Contract is created when the Poster accepts the offer made by the Worker and the Job is assigned to that Worker.
- 1.14 A Worker may revoke or modify its Worker Listing at any time before a Poster accepts a Worker’s offer.

By providing the Covid Documentation for assessment, you represent and warrant to AntWorker that the Covid Documentation is genuine and was issued to you by the relevant federal or state government authority. You also represent and warrant that all information you provide in relation to the Covid Badge verification process is true, accurate, and not misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent in any manner. If you provide any data that is not true and accurate or is misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent you may be barred from using the AntWorker platform in future.
Consent to Process Data
- 11.2 By submitting your personal information or otherwise using the AntWorker platform or presenting a Covid Badge on your profile, you consent to the use, processing and storage of your personal information, including sensitive medical data provided, in accordance with these terms and conditions.

Assessment Process
- 11.3 AntWorker (or its third party processors) will assess the Covid Documentation provided by a User and verify that:

You expressly release, indemnify and hold harmless AntWorker and its associates and its third-party processors from any and all loss, liability, injury, death, damage, or costs arising or in any way related to the Covid status of a User in relation to any services provided or acquired through the AntWorker platform.
Disclaimer
- 11.5 USERS OF THE PLATFORM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ONLY STEPS AntWorker HAS TAKEN TO ASSESS THE VERACITY OF THE COVID DOCUMENTATION ARE AS SET OUT ABOVE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ISSUE OF A COVID BADGE TO A USER (CUSTOMER OR Worker) BY AntWorker MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON AS VERIFICATION THAT THE USER HAS VALID COVID DOCUMENTATION ISSUED BY A RELEVANT GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY OR IS VACCINATED.

- 12.5 You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a claim is made relating to any services performed and/or goods provided by a Worker, and the insurance taken out by AntWorker (if any) responds to that claim then this clause applies. If a claim is made against a Worker, AntWorker may (provided that the Worker consents) elect to make a claim under any applicable policy and if the claim is successful, AntWorker reserves its right to recover any excess or deductible payable in respect of the claim from the Worker. Where AntWorker makes a claim and the insurer assesses that the Worker is responsible, AntWorker is entitled to rely on that assessment. If You do not pay any excess due under this clause, AntWorker may also elect to set this amount off some or all of the excess paid by it against future moneys it may owe to You.
- 12.6 You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a claim is made relating to any services performed and/or goods provided by a Worker, and the insurance taken out by AntWorker (if any) does not respond to the claim or the claim is below the excess payable to the insurer, then this clause applies. AntWorker may elect to reject or pay an amount to settle a claim not covered by AntWorker’s own insurance policies. To the extent that the Worker was or would be liable for the amount of the claim, if AntWorker elects to pay an amount to settle the claim the amount paid by AntWorker may be recovered by AntWorker from the Worker.
