All rights not expressly granted to you remain the property of the company and its licensors.

2.Without the prior written consent of i-need, you may not: (i) use, modify, or integrate any part of the software into another software, or create a derivative work from any part of the software; (ii) sell, license (or sublicense), lease, assign, transfer, pledge, or share your rights under this agreement with or to any other person; (iii) copy, distribute, or reproduce the application for the benefit of third parties; (iv) disclose the results of any benchmarking of the application or use it for your own competitive software development activities; or (v) modify, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, revise, or improve the software, or attempt to discover the source code of the software.
3.For the purposes of this agreement, the following definitions apply:
- "We," "us," "our," and "Company" refer to i-need and its affiliated companies or businesses.
- "User(s)" generally refers to the end recipient of services who finds and contacts a professional, handyman, or technician through our mobile applications or website.
- "Professionals" refers to all registered professionals (handymen or technicians) on i-need.
- "Application" refers to the mobile or web applications owned by i-need and used by you to contact or view handymen or technicians.
- "Availability Check" refers to the automatic system of 3-position registrations per area and specialty. Once the positions are filled, the area is closed and reopens only when a position is freed. However, we reserve the right to increase the number of professional listings in an area by up to 2 positions, depending on the volume of calls in specific specialties, to ensure you always receive prompt and quality services.
- "Search" refers to our unique (in this industry) search engine, where users no longer search for a professional by area but based on the distance between them and the professional.
4.Our services consist of providing users with information about professionals and technicians by category and distance, as well as posting on our website and applications any information, observations, and comments that you (users and professionals) provide to us. Therefore, professionals are fully responsible for their details and any changes to them as they are recorded by us (in the mobile app and on the website) and for the way their profile appears in our software, which must be updated.
Although we are very careful in providing our i-need services, we are not always able to verify, nor can we guarantee, that all the information you send us is accurate, complete, or correct, and we cannot be held responsible for any errors (including obvious and typographical errors), any interruptions (due to any (temporary or partial) system failure, repair, maintenance, or upgrade of our software or for any other reason), inaccurate, misleading, or false information, or the non-delivery of information. Users are responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of the (descriptive) information displayed on our software. Despite our best efforts, our software cannot always be in a position to confirm the quality, level, services, or rating of each user to whom the service is provided, as entries are generally made by you.
5.You may use i-need only if you are registered. Only adults who are legally competent, according to the law, are eligible to register. Otherwise, you must not use i-need software and services. Additionally, if for any reason your account has been suspended or canceled, temporarily or permanently, you cannot register.
To register as a user or professional, you must complete the registration form available at https://www.i-need.gr/eggrafi/ on our software. Please note that registration forms and applications for users differ from those for professionals.
To be registered as a professional, you must have a work permit related to the technical activity you declare and a business registration. If you are also engaged in commercial activities, this does not prevent the registration of your details as long as your technical profession is included in your business registration. i-need or the user reserves the right to request and view these documents at any time. Any changes in your activity (specialty, location, phone numbers, etc.) must be immediately reported to i-need.
Registration with i-need and its use by you as a professional is strictly personal. It is strictly prohibited to grant use of your account to third parties. Violation of this rule will result in the immediate, permanent, and irrevocable termination of your cooperation with i-need.
6.In i-need, you agree and accept:
- To provide true, accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about yourself on the registration form and to update it whenever necessary. i-need is not obligated to monitor or verify the accuracy of the information you provide. If any information you provide does not comply with these provisions or if i-need has reasonable grounds to suspect that this information is not accurate, i-need has the right to refuse your registration, whether as a user or handyman, or even to suspend or terminate, without notice, your account registration and refuse any and all present or future use of our i-need services. In such a case, you will not be entitled to any compensation for the refusal, suspension, or cancellation of your registration, and the initial registration fee given at the start of our cooperation will be forfeited as a penalty, without prejudice to i-need’s right to claim compensation for any other damages not covered by this amount.
- Not to use i-need: for any illegal purpose; in any way that interrupts, harms, diminishes, or makes i-need less effective; to transfer files containing viruses, trojans, or other harmful programs; to access or attempt to access other users' accounts, or to breach or attempt to breach any security measures; to disseminate any content that is defamatory, obscene, or offensive, threatening or abusive to any person or group based on religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, or disability, or anything similar; or to advertise or promote third-party products or services.
- To treat users-customers who have been referred to you through i-need with respect and not cause any harm, annoyance, disturbance, or inconvenience to them, nor engage in any related or similar acts that may damage the reputation and honor of other users or professionals, or even our own reputation.

- Not to process or disclose to third parties the personal data of other participants that are transferred or otherwise disclosed to you, unless you have the written consent of the other user.
- Also, the website you declare in your profile and register in the form must be your professional page, and its use is strictly personal.
- That accessing and using the i-need service via mobile devices, or using certain mobile features, may involve a fee from the provider or carrier of the mobile services you use ("Provider"), and you are solely responsible for paying such fees. i-need is not liable nor does it maintain any form of collaboration with internet service providers or mobile phone companies, and therefore is not involved with these charges.
- To promptly respond to the call made by the user, informing them of your ability or inability to provide your services within a reasonable time, which shall not exceed 2 hours unless the services require immediate professional intervention.
- To allow i-need to place promotional and advertising material in your store or professional vehicle. Such material will be provided to you by i-need at no cost to you and without further claims for compensation for its use.
7.Professionals agree to be evaluated by users-recipients of their services through i-need, while users must be objective in this process, limiting their comments to the services they received.
- The user's complete comment may (a) be posted on the relevant page of our software on the professional's profile for the sole purpose of informing other users about the level of service, professionalism, reliability, and pricing of the professional; or (b) be used (in whole or in part) and made available by i-need at its discretion (e.g., for marketing, promotion, or improvement of our services) on our software or on social media platforms, newsletters, special offers, applications, or other channels owned, hosted, used, or controlled by i-need.
- Professionals have the opportunity to respond to the comment, but they cannot engage in conversations or disputes through our website.
- i-need reserves the right at its discretion to reject or even remove comments that are offensive or irrelevant to the services provided.
- The evaluation form from users must not include (further commercial) offers, invitations, or advertisements, or contain any incentives.

Users are not charged for our services. Additionally, our mobile phone app is available for free.
9.We are constantly looking for ways to improve and expand i-need. Therefore, we may modify these terms from time to time. The modified terms will take effect upon their posting. Any use after modification constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
