§1General provisions
These Terms of Service set out the rules for the provision of services by electronic means within the website PaidFor.io (the "Service") and the conditions of its use by Users and Companies. These Terms are made available free of charge in a manner allowing them to be obtained, reproduced and stored.
The Service is owned and operated by the Service Provider identified above. The Service Provider can be contacted at kontakt@paidfor.io.
Using the Service constitutes acceptance of these Terms. Use of the Service requires a device with internet access, an up-to-date browser and an active email address; certain features require a working webcam.
§2Definitions
- Service
- the PaidFor.io online platform together with its related subpages and features.
- Service Provider / Operator
- the entity operating the Service, identified at the beginning of these Terms.
- User (Participant)
- an adult natural person who registers with the Service in order to give paid attention to Companies' offers.
- Company (Sponsor)
- a business that commissions access to Users and funds their fee for attention.
- Attention session
- a structured, typically 30-minute review by the User of a Company's offer (interactive recording: slides, narration, questions) together with the provision of honest feedback.
- Disclosed task
- an unambiguously described set of activities whose completion is a condition for payment of the fee (e.g. viewing the material and answering questions).
- Fee
- the amount due to the User for completing the Disclosed task, known in advance before the Session begins.
- Waitlist
- a list of those waiting for the full functionality of the Service to launch, which can be joined via the registration form.
§3Type and scope of services
At the current stage the Service provides free of charge: a presentation of the operating model, Waitlist sign-up, and registration of a User profile and a Company enquiry. Ultimately the Service matches Companies with Users and acts as an intermediary in organising and settling Attention sessions.
PaidFor.io is an intermediary organising Attention sessions and their settlement. The Service Provider is not a party to any purchasing decisions that may be taken after a Session and does not guarantee any commercial outcome.
The essence of the model. The Fee is due solely for completing the Disclosed task (giving attention and honest feedback) — never for a positive opinion, for scheduling a meeting or for making a purchase. "No, thank you" is paid exactly the same as any other honest answer.
§4Conditions of use
Only an adult with full legal capacity may be a User. A Company may be a business within the meaning of the applicable law.
The User undertakes to provide true, current and complete data and not to share their account with third parties. It is prohibited to supply unlawful content, to use the Service in a manner infringing the law or the rights of third parties, or to take any action disrupting the operation of the Service.
§5Registration and account
Registration takes place via a form (an account may be created by email registration or by signing in with an identity provider, e.g. LinkedIn). During registration the User provides, among other things, first name, surname, email address, telephone number, company, job title, areas of interest, level of influence on decisions and the expected fee per Session. A Company provides its business details, a product description, the target audience profile and the proposed rate.
Providing data is voluntary but necessary in order to use the relevant features of the Service. The User and the Company may request deletion of their account at any time by contacting the Service Provider.
§6Attention session rules
The Company prepares the offer material and the Disclosed task. A User who accepts an invitation reviews the material and completes the Task within the specified time. The Company states the specific rate and the scope of the Task in every invitation before it is accepted.
Any further contact by the Company with the User after a Session is possible only with the User's express, separate consent (opt-in). The absence of such consent does not affect the Fee due.
§7Fees and payments
The Fee for a Session is known to the User in advance. Payment is made after confirmation that the Disclosed task has been properly completed, within the period and in the manner indicated in the Service or in the invitation.
The Company funds the Users' Fees and the Operator's remuneration for organising the campaign. Detailed commercial terms (including full campaign pricing) are agreed by the Operator individually with the Company. Amounts shown in the Service are indicative unless expressly stated otherwise.
The Fee is settled, according to the option indicated for the Session, either on the basis of an invoice issued by a User running a business, or on the basis of a civil-law contract concluded with the Operator — in which case the Operator performs the withholding obligations arising from the applicable law. Otherwise, responsibility for the User's own public-law settlements rests with the User, unless mandatory provisions of law state otherwise.
§8Identity verification and integrity of attention
In order to confirm genuine engagement, a Session may use the User's webcam — solely as a real-time preview confirming presence and identity; the camera image is not recorded, captured or stored and is not passed to the Company — as well as interactions with the material (e.g. answers to questions). These features are used with the knowledge of the User, who is informed before accepting an invitation; refusing consent to use the camera may make participation in a given Session impossible.
Artificially simulating attention is prohibited (e.g. automation, sharing a session with third parties, misrepresenting identity). A breach may result in refusal of payment for the given Session and in suspension or deletion of the account.
§9Rights and obligations of the parties
The Service Provider makes every effort to ensure the Service operates correctly and securely, but reserves the right to technical downtime and to develop and change features. The Service Provider may suspend or delete a User's or Company's account in the event of a breach of these Terms or of the law.
The User is obliged to use the Service in accordance with these Terms, the law and good practice, and to respect the rights and data of other Users.
§10Liability
The Service Provider is not liable for the commercial decisions of Companies and Users, for the content of materials prepared by Companies, or for damage resulting from false data provided by a User or a Company. The Service Provider's liability towards Users who are not consumers is limited to actual damage and does not cover lost profits, to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this section neither exclude nor limit consumer rights arising from mandatory provisions of law.
§11Complaints
Complaints regarding the Service may be submitted to kontakt@paidfor.io. A complaint should include contact details and a description of the objections. The Service Provider considers the complaint within 14 days of receipt and informs of the outcome at the email address provided.
§12Right of withdrawal (consumers)
A consumer, and a business with consumer rights, who has concluded a distance contract may withdraw from it without giving a reason within 14 days. Registering a free account or joining the Waitlist creates no financial obligations and may be cancelled at any time by deleting the account or unsubscribing. Detailed information on withdrawal is provided when any paid contracts are concluded.
§13Personal data
The rules for processing personal data, including purposes, legal bases, retention periods and data subjects' rights, are described in the Privacy Policy. The wording of the consents used and the GDPR information clause are set out on the Consents and GDPR clause.
§14Additional Sector Rules
The Operator may introduce Additional Sector Rules for selected categories of Campaigns or Sessions — in particular for the medical and pharmaceutical sector (the PaidFor MEDmodule, governed by the PaidFor MED Terms of Service). Additional Sector Rules are made available to the User before accepting an invitation covered by those rules, and to the Company before concluding a Campaign agreement.
In matters not otherwise regulated, the Additional Sector Rules supplement these Terms; in the event of a discrepancy, the more stringent rules prevail.
§15Reporting unlawful content
Unlawful content may be reported to kontakt@paidfor.io. A report should include: identification of the content and its location (URL), a justification, the reporter's contact details and a statement of good faith. The Operator confirms receipt of the report, considers it with due care and communicates the decision taken; an appeal against the decision may be made to the same address.
§16Final provisions
The Service Provider may amend these Terms for important reasons (changes in law, changes to the scope of services, security considerations). Users will be informed of changes with appropriate notice and, for registered accounts, by email. Contracts concluded before an amendment are governed by the previous wording of these Terms, unless the law provides otherwise.
Matters not regulated herein are governed by Polish law. A consumer may use out-of-court methods of handling complaints and pursuing claims, in particular the assistance of the municipal or district consumer ombudsman, the Trade Inspection Authority and entities authorised to resolve consumer disputes out of court. These Terms are effective from 29 July 2026.
