About clients
A: In many cases you can negotiate conditions such as the amount and delivery date using the messaging function on the crowdsourcing site (* varies depending on the ordering method on the crowdsourcing site and the client).
A: (1) Clients who demand direct dealing before concluding contracts.
You must be careful if the client demands direct communication without using the messaging function on the crowdsourcing site before concluding the contract. As long as you are communicating on the crowdsourcing site, messages are kept in the site; therefore, the crowdsourcing business owner can provide support to resolve the trouble. However, their support will be limited if you directly communicate without going through the crowdsourcing site because they cannot be aware of the whole situation.
(2) Clients who order work that involves incurring expenses
You must be careful if the client demands crowdworkers to bear expenses such as to purchase something on behalf of them, register for a chargeable membership, or join a business network. Such orders are likely to be a breach of regulations of the crowdsourcing site. Consult with the crowdsourcing business owner before taking the order.
(3) Clients who ask for personal information without clear purposes
You must be careful if the client asks for personal information without clear purposes. Check why the information is required, and consult with the crowdsourcing business owner before giving the information to the client.
