You can create a project and fill out details about the project, including required skills, basins and discipline. You can also limit the applicants to specific countries or hide the project from public view entirely; invite providers to bid for your project after it has been posted; attach files related to your project.

You can divide your project into smaller pieces for tracking purposes or to pay based on delivery. Milestones can be determined when you first create the project or added later. You can also change milestones during the negotiation phase of your project to fit consultants' needs; alternatively, you can also ask potential providers to create milestones for your project. You can change milestones when the project is active if both parties agree.

There are two types of projects you can post: hourly-based or fixed-budget.

You can wait while interested experts apply for your posted project; or, you can browse through the pool of experts yourself and select those that fit your requirements. Once you’ve selected your target candidates, you can send them an invite so they will be notified to look at and apply to your project.

After you have identified the expert that you would like to award the project to, you can then agree on milestones (if any) and send the offer to the expert. Upon the expert’s acceptance of the offer, the project moves to a running phase.

As milestones are executed according to the agreed upon schedule, consultants will send their invoices to you. You will need to approve and pay these invoices according to selected payment method.

You can change or add new milestones during the execution phase. You can not change milestones which have posted invoices.

You can close your project at anytime unless there are pending invoices. When you close the project, you will be asked to specify the reason. Then, you can leave feedback for the consultant.

We have a built-in messaging system as well as email notifications. It is permissible to use private emails for communication during the execution phase, but we strongly encourage consultants and clients to use our platform as a primary means of communication (especially in the beginning). That way, if a dispute occurs, we will have access to relevant information in order to arbitrate the matter.

When registering a profile, there are two main options: individual provider and integrated projects. The individual profile is intended for independent consultants who can specify their discipline and sub-discipline, if applicable. Another option is the integrated projects profile, which suits groups of experts (ex. consulting companies). This type of profile will allow you to select several disciplines.

Several forms of payment methods can be used to compensate your consultant. Simply specify your desired method before posting your first project. Payment methods are filled out in financial section of the user's menu. Accepted payment methods: Credit/Debit Card PayPal Direct deposit (for US clients only) Wire transfer *See "Fee" section for the cost of each method.

Normally, we pay providers same week as payment is received from clients. The total time between a payment and when the consultant receives their money depends on the method of payments selected by both parties. If suspicious activity is detected, PetroCubic holds the right to investigate the matter before releasing payment.

We do not charge fees for registering or posting projects. Basic account type is available for free without any subscription fees. We can may add other account types in the future with additional features for clients who need them.

The only fees payable by clients (project owners) are based on the costs incurred by PetroCubic to facilitate financial transactions: Credit / Debit Cards - 3-4% fee PayPal - reference to PayPal for information Direct Deposits - free Wire transfers - free (you pay directly to financial institution for this transaction)

With that said, we strongly believe that difficulties are better resolved without the involvement of third parties.
