Terms & Conditions
for Specialists

1. ClearShift’s Role

ClearShift is not a recruitment agency, employer, or staffing platform. ClearShift introduces independent Specialists to hospitality establishments who could benefit from their services. You are not employed by ClearShift — you remain an independent operator, responsible for your own work, invoicing, tax, and business conduct. ClearShift currently operates within the Cape Peninsula.

2. What ClearShift Does

When ClearShift identifies an establishment that could benefit from your services, we make the introduction on your behalf, at no cost to you or the establishment. From that point, the commercial relationship for the work itself is between you and the establishment directly — you agree scope, pricing, and delivery with them, and you invoice them directly.

3. Commission

• Where ClearShift introduces you to an establishment, a commission of 10% is payable to ClearShift on all transactions between you and that establishment arising from the introduction, including work with any sister venue or other location under the same group or ownership as the introduced establishment
• This commission applies to ongoing work with that establishment (and any sister venue or group location) for as long as the working relationship continues — there is no fixed end date or cap
• From time to time, ClearShift may ask you to complete a short reporting schedule confirming deals and commission owed for introduced establishments. You agree to complete this promptly when asked. This does not replace the relationship-based, informal way ClearShift generally stays aware of ongoing work — it’s simply a periodic check-in
• You are responsible for paying ClearShift’s commission within 7 days of receiving payment from the establishment. ClearShift does not invoice by default — payment is self-initiated on your side. If you require a formal invoice from ClearShift for your own accounting purposes, let us know and we will provide one on request; this does not change the 7-day payment deadline

4. Confidentiality

You may not disclose the existence, amount, or percentage of ClearShift’s commission to any establishment, under any circumstance, and may not reflect it as a separate line item, deduction, or reference of any kind on any invoice or quote sent to an establishment. Establishments are told only that the introduction is at no cost to them.

Breach. If you disclose the existence, amount, or percentage of the commission to an establishment, or reflect it on an invoice, ClearShift may terminate the introduction arrangement with immediate effect, and continue to pursue any commission already owed and any commission ClearShift is unable to collect as a direct result of the breach.

5. Independence

Nothing in these terms creates an employment, partnership, or agency relationship between you and ClearShift. You are free to work with establishments ClearShift has not introduced you to, and to run your business as you see fit, subject to the commission and confidentiality obligations above for introductions ClearShift has made.

6. No Exclusivity

Engagement with ClearShift is non-exclusive. You are free to source work through other channels.

7. Liability

ClearShift is not responsible for the performance or conduct of Specialists once engaged, any disputes arising between the Establishment and a Specialist, or the quality or delivery of work performed. ClearShift’s role is limited to introduction and coordination.

8. Changes to Terms

ClearShift may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The latest version will be available on the ClearShift website.

9. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
