1. About CoBuildr
CoBuildr ("we", "us", "our") operates the platform at cobuildr.co. CoBuildr acts solely as a passive intermediary facilitating introductions between project owners who have ideas and defined outcomes, and contributors who have the skills to help deliver them, through structured, time-boxed trials. We are not a party to any arrangement, agreement, or working relationship that results from those introductions.
CoBuildr is currently operated as an unincorporated business in England. Once incorporated, these Terms will be updated to include the registered company name, number, and address.
By using CoBuildr, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, representation, or promise not expressly set out in these Terms.
For any questions about these Terms, contact us at support@cobuildr.co.
2. Who can use CoBuildr
You must be at least 18 years old to use CoBuildr. By using the platform, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
Users may act in a personal or business capacity. Where you are acting as a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under applicable UK consumer protection legislation, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in these Terms affects any rights you may have under law requiring services to be provided with reasonable care and skill.
Use of the platform for any unlawful purpose is not permitted.
3. What CoBuildr does and does not do
CoBuildr provides a platform that allows project owners to post projects and contributors to submit applications. If a project owner accepts an application, we send an introduction email to both parties so they can communicate directly.
CoBuildr does not employ, engage, or contract with any user. Nothing in these Terms or through use of the platform creates any employment, worker, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between CoBuildr and any user, or between users themselves. CoBuildr does not manage, oversee, or guarantee the outcome of any trial or working arrangement between users. CoBuildr does not handle payments between users. Any financial, contractual, or intellectual property arrangements made between a project owner and a contributor are entirely their own responsibility.
We do not verify the identity, qualifications, experience, or background of any user. Any trial work undertaken through connections made on the platform is undertaken entirely at the risk of the parties involved. No expectation of payment exists between users unless explicitly agreed between them. The scope of any trial is defined solely by the users involved, not by CoBuildr. CoBuildr does not guarantee that users will receive applications, opportunities, or any particular outcome from using the platform.
We act as an introduction platform only. Once an introduction has been made, the relationship between a project owner and a contributor is entirely independent of CoBuildr.
4. Project owner responsibilities
If you post a project on CoBuildr, you agree to the following.
Your project listing must be genuine. You must have a real project with a clearly defined outcome and a sincere intention to work with a contributor.
Your project must not be misleading, deceptive, or designed to extract free work without genuine intent to collaborate.
You will not use CoBuildr to recruit employees or to circumvent employment law. The trial model is intended for collaborative project work, not as a mechanism to obtain employment-level services without corresponding obligations.
You will treat contributors with respect and professionalism throughout any application or trial process.
You will not share a contributor's personal data with any third party or use it for any purpose other than evaluating and progressing their application.
CoBuildr reserves the right to review and approve project listings before they are published on the platform. We may, at our sole discretion acting reasonably, decline to publish any listing, including listings that do not meet our quality standards or appear misleading
5. Contributor responsibilities
If you apply to a project on CoBuildr, you agree to the following.
Your application must be genuine. The information you provide about your skills, experience, and availability must be accurate and honest.
You will not submit speculative or bulk applications with no genuine interest in the specific project.
You will treat project owners with respect and professionalism throughout any application or trial process.
You will not use contact details shared by CoBuildr for any purpose other than communicating with the relevant project owner about the project to which you applied.
6. Prohibited conduct
The following is not permitted on CoBuildr.
Posting false, misleading, or fraudulent project listings or applications.
Submitting spam applications or using automated tools to submit applications.
Attempting to harvest contact details or personal information from other users for any purpose other than the specific introduction facilitated by CoBuildr.
Using the platform to harass, threaten, or abuse any other user.
Attempting to circumvent CoBuildr's introduction process by soliciting direct contact through the platform in bad faith.
Posting content that is unlawful, discriminatory, offensive, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.
Using CoBuildr for any purpose that violates applicable law or regulation.
We may, at our sole discretion acting reasonably, remove any content that violates these rules and suspend or terminate access for any user who breaches them.
7. User content licence
By submitting a project listing, application, or any other content to CoBuildr, you grant CoBuildr a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, display, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating the platform. This licence ends when your content is removed from the platform.
You retain ownership of any content you submit. You are responsible for ensuring that any content you submit does not infringe the rights of any third party.
8. Intellectual property
Any work produced during a trial between a project owner and a contributor is a matter entirely between those two parties. CoBuildr makes no claim to any intellectual property created during or as a result of a trial.
Users are responsible for agreeing the ownership of any work product between themselves before or during a trial. CoBuildr strongly recommends that both parties agree in writing on intellectual property ownership before any trial work begins. CoBuildr accepts no liability for any dispute arising from a failure to do so.
All content on the CoBuildr platform, including the website design, copy, and branding, is owned by CoBuildr. You may not reproduce, copy, or use any part of it without our written permission.
9. Data protection and privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal data. It is available at cobuildr.co/privacy and forms part of these Terms.
CoBuildr is the data controller in respect of personal data it collects from users. Once an introduction is made between a project owner and a contributor, each party becomes an independent data controller in respect of the other's personal data. CoBuildr is not responsible for how users handle each other's personal data following an introduction.
Where necessary to facilitate introductions, your contact details may be shared with another user as described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Disputes between users
CoBuildr facilitates introductions only. We are not responsible for resolving disputes that arise between project owners and contributors, including disputes about work quality, intellectual property, payment, or conduct during a trial.
If you have a dispute with another user, we encourage you to attempt to resolve it directly and professionally.
CoBuildr may, at its sole discretion acting reasonably, investigate complaints about user conduct that violates these Terms and take appropriate action, including suspending or removing a user from the platform. We are under no obligation to mediate, arbitrate, or take sides in any dispute between users.
11. Suspension and termination
CoBuildr reserves the right to suspend or permanently remove any user from the platform where reasonably necessary, including but not limited to breach of these Terms, conduct that is harmful to other users or to CoBuildr, or misuse of the platform.
If your access is suspended or terminated, you must not attempt to re-register or access the platform through any other means without our permission.
We may also suspend or discontinue the platform itself at any time. We will endeavour to give reasonable notice where possible.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CoBuildr and its officers, employees, and representatives from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) to the extent that such claims arise from your breach of these Terms or misuse of the platform, except to the extent caused by our own negligence.
13. Limitation of liability
CoBuildr provides the platform on an "as is" basis. We do not guarantee that the platform will be available at all times, free from errors, or that any particular outcome will result from its use.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CoBuildr excludes all liability for indirect, consequential, or incidental loss or damage, including loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data, or loss of opportunity, arising from your use of the platform or any working arrangement between users.
Our total liability to you for any claim or series of related claims arising from these Terms or your use of the platform shall not exceed one hundred pounds (£100).
Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law including the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
14. General provisions
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and CoBuildr in relation to your use of the platform and supersede any prior agreements or representations.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
CoBuildr may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms to any third party, including in connection with a sale or transfer of the business. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
Failure by CoBuildr to enforce any provision of these Terms at any time does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
CoBuildr shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, network failures, or government action.
You agree that communications and notices from CoBuildr may be delivered to you electronically, including by email.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of CoBuildr will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live.
