You are prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless it's for a project you (a writer) have been picked for, or you (a client) have picked a writer for. This includes giving out your e-mail address, ICQ number,instant messenger id, phone number, or any other method of contact outside of this site. WriterLance provides you with message boards, which should be sufficient for pre-project planning.Members are forbidden from providing contact information via PMB. The only exception to this is for Featured Projects. Clients who post Featured projects are allowed to post and ask for contact information. Writers who bid on featured projects may also distribute contact information. Note that Featured PMBs and regular PMBs are not distinguished, so you will receive a warning for post contact information in them.

Members are forbidden from negotiating outside of Writerlance directly with Clients who have ongoing projects, or who have closed projects, but contacted a member anyways.

Both sides are accountable for notifying Writerlance should the payment quantity amplify after the project is closed. Receiving a larger amount than the original project bid, without notifying us, will be considered as an effort to steer clear of the commissions. When a writer requests a withdrawal, we always review all payments received for every project to confirm that they equal the bid. If at the time of a withdrawal appeal the writer has failed to notify Writerlance workers of a payment established above the quantity of his/her bid (an overall payment above US $100), Writerlance holds the right to subtract double the fee for the quantity that ought to have been reported. We believe our commissions are extremely fair and reasonable for the service we provide; therefore we will absolutely not stand any of this commotion on Writerlance.

The bids Writers make must be for the entire project, and not for hourly commissions, etc This is the same for Clients as well.

New Clients are open to posting only 3 projects before they make a deposit.

THE ROLE OF WRITERLANCE

Writerlance's function is to act as a network for connecting Writers, and Clients in a cyber marketplace.
