Terms of use

These terms cover your use of this website, which is an information and introduction site. Your contract for staff is with the provider, not with Distal Desk: the provider employs, supervises and bills your agents.

1. Who we are

This site is run by Joseph, an individual in Davao City, Philippines, not a registered company ("Distal Desk", "we", "I"). Contact: hello@distaldesk.com. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

2. What this site is

Distal Desk publishes information about hiring dedicated, office-based support agents in the Philippines, and introduces businesses to our partner provider in Davao City. Booking a call, sending an email or reading a page does not create a contract for staffing services with Distal Desk. We do not employ, supervise, place or bill agents.

3. Your contract is with the provider

If you decide to hire, you sign a contract directly with the provider. That contract sets the start date, notice, replacement and any other terms, and the provider bills you at the rate shown on this site. If anything on this site differs from your signed contract, the contract wins.

4. Prices and figures on this site

We publish provider facts only after the provider has confirmed them in writing, and each page shows the date we last reviewed it. The hourly rate on this site is the rate the provider bills you; it can change after that date. The calculator gives estimates only, from that rate and public wage benchmarks, each with its source and date. It is not a quote: ask the provider for a written quote before you decide.

5. What we do not promise

We introduce you to the provider and stay on the email thread, but we do not control how the provider or its agents perform. We make no promise about the provider's work, its agents, or the results you will get. Any promise about the service, such as a replacement or a start date, is the provider's, and it is set out in your contract with the provider.

The information on this site is general. It is not legal, tax, employment or financial advice. Check anything important for your business with a qualified adviser.

6. How we are paid

I am paid a commission by the provider for clients I introduce. The provider bills you at the rate shown on this site. We set that rate under our referral agreement with the provider, and the provider pays our commission out of it. We charge you no separate fee. Details are on how I'm paid.

7. Using the site

  • Please give true details when you book a call or email us, and only for your own business or one you are allowed to act for.
  • Do not send forms automatically, try to break the site, or copy large parts of it.
  • You may quote short parts of a page with a link back to it.

The text, design and calculator on this site belong to Distal Desk, except where another source is named.

We link to laws, government pages and other sources so you can check our figures. We are not responsible for what those sites say or do.

9. Our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that comes from using this site, from relying on its information, or from the provider's services. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, and the courts of the Philippines will decide any dispute about them.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions: hello@distaldesk.com. See also our privacy policy.
