Thank you for accessing our services (the “WeShare Platform“) at www.weshare.gg (the “Site“). The WeShare Platform is provided by WeShare, which is the trading name of Singer Limited, of PO Box 247, St. Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3QF.
Please read the following Terms of Use (these “Terms“) carefully as they govern your use of the WeShare Platform and the Site. Do not use the WeShare Platform or the Site unless you wish to be bound by these Terms because, by continuing to use any part of the WeShare Platform or the Site, you confirm your acceptance of these Terms.
These Terms apply to every person who uses the WeShare Platform and the Site, including users searching for services (the “Services“) to be provided by others (“Seekers”) and users who provide those Services (“Doers”), unless otherwise specified.
You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our WeShare Platform and Site through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and other applicable terms and conditions, and that they comply with them.
We may amend these Terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use the WeShare Platform or our Site, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the Terms that apply at that time.
If any future changes to Terms are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in compliance with these Terms, you must immediately stop using the WeShare Platform and the Site. Your continued use of the WeShare Platform and the Site following any revisions to these Terms constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes.
We may update and change the WeShare Platform and our Site from time to time. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any significant changes to the WeShare Platform that may affect the Services. This includes, but is not limited to, modifications to any services requested via the WeShare Platform to maximise the chance of successful completion of the requested service, such as the addition of further categories.
The WeShare Platform is solely a venue for enabling Seekers to contact Doers. WeShare does not provide the Services, or complete any requested Services, but rather facilitates the identification, arrangement payment and review of the Services. The provision of all Services is up to the Doers, which may be scheduled using the WeShare Platform. WeShare does not provide any assurances or guarantees in relation to the Services arranged using the WeShare Platform and it does not provide any assurances on the accuracy of information users post on the Site. Where the WeShare Platform allows you to post information, rate and review past Services and develop profiles, we expect you to always be transparent and honest in any posts that you make.
Once a Service has been accepted by a Seeker and a Doer, it constitutes a legally enforceable agreement between the parties involved. The terms of the agreement for the provision of the Service are between the Seeker and the Doer, and WeShare is not a party to those terms and it is not acting as an agent or partner of either of the Seeker or the Doer.
The WeShare Platform is currently only for use in the Island of Guernsey. You must not access the WeShare Platform from any other jurisdictions or territories. You are responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations which apply to you when using the WeShare Platform.
Reviews and ratings are an essential element of the WeShare Platform, and as such users are asked to complete reviews and ratings for the Services. Feedback should be related to a specific Service, and the content of the review should be respectful and constructive.
WeShare reserves the right not to publish, or to remove, any reviews or comments at our sole discretion without notice to you. If we consider that any comments or reviews are abusive, threatening, offensive, defamatory or otherwise inappropriate, we will seek for them to be immediately removed from the Site.
WeShare may contact a user (either directly or by one of the Doers) once a job has been posted in order to facilitate a review and rating. In the absence of any reply received within 7 days of contact, WeShare can award the purported Doer a 5 star rating and remove the job from the live To-Do list. Equally, WeShare reserve the right to undertake the same action once a job has been live on the To-Do list for 14 days after posting if WeShare deem that the job has been responded to and has been completed by the purported Doer.
When posting a request for a Service, Seekers are expected to act in good faith and by doing so are confirming an intention to have a Service carried out by a Doer who meets the criteria detailed in the description of the Service.
It is the responsibility of the Seeker to agree on what work will be done as part of the Service, how the Service will be done, how much the Service will cost, and when the Doer will be paid.
WeShare makes no guarantees about the accuracy of information that Doers post on the Site, including any credentials or qualifications the Doers may hold, and any information, documents, evidence or photos they post on the Site.
The Doers must act in good faith and be genuinely willing and able to provide the Services that they use the WeShare Platform to advertise. The Doers must also at all times fully comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements that apply to them.
When quoting for a Service requested by a Seeker, the Doer must provide quotes that are as accurate as possible, based on the information available to the Doer. All quotes should also clearly show what is included in the quote, any applicable assumptions or qualifications, as well as describe any relevant scenarios that could significantly alter the quote.
It is expected that Doers will maintain an accurate and up to date profile on the Site. Credentials, qualifications and other information relating to Doers may be displayed using the WeShare Platform to help build a profile. By doing so a Doer is confirming that the information that they provide is accurate, legitimate and that they have the appropriate permissions to publish that information.
The WeShare Platform’s system of ratings and reviews is intended to manage Seekers’ and Doers’ expectations when engaging with each other. Doers warrant that they will always:
The WeShare Platform and the Site are free to use for Seekers. Doers may subscribe to the WeShare Platform to register for as many categories of Services as they wish in accordance with these Terms. Subscriptions for Doers will renew automatically each calendar month, unless cancelled by the Doer or WeShare on the last day of each month. Should a subscription be cancelled by a Doer at a time other than the last day of the month, WeShare is not obliged to refund any part of the subscription fee. Subscription fees are detailed in the Fees and Charges section below.
Upon a job or service being awarded, all parties should agree the payment terms and method.
We do not act as a middleperson for payment. We don’t take deposits, or hold onto payments for a while before passing them on.
If there are any payment disputes between Doers and Seekers (including about non-payment or refunds), Doers and Seekers are responsible for managing this directly themselves. We expect you to be open, honest and respectful with each other. We are not responsible for resolving payment disputes.
You will pay our fees and charges in accordance with these Terms, or as otherwise agreed in writing by us.
The subscription fee for Doers is stated in the Doers’ Subscription page. From time to time, we may offer different subscription terms, and the fees for such subscriptions may vary.
Our fees and charges for each of the Services and for the Doers’ subscriptions is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms. You are responsible for all taxes that may apply on our fees and charges in respect of each Service and the Doers’ subscription fees.
If all eligible payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of any applicable fees and charges, you must provide to us a new eligible payment method promptly or your subscription will be cancelled. If you provide us with a new eligible payment method and are successfully charged, your new subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

We may share your personal data with third parties for the purposes set out above, including payment services providers, and other users of the WeShare Platform, include Seekers and Doers. In some instances we may also disclose your personal data to third parties where this is necessary to perform our services or otherwise in furtherance of an outsourcing or other data processing arrangement. In those circumstances WeShare will ensure that the third party is contractually bound to only process personal information in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws, and at all times in a manner that protects your data protection rights.

Under certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights in relation to your personal data:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request“). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Right to make a complaint at any time to the Guernsey Data Protection Authority (DPA), the Guernsey supervisory authority for data protection issues (https://odpa.gg), or to your local data protection supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the DPA or your supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at hello@weshare.gg.
