Commended.ai is a digital marketplace where registered users (managers, consultants and other specialists) are matched with companies that demand specific skills for assignments. Customers create ads that are published on the platform, search for, and have the opportunity to contact / invite users who possess the required skills. Users register interest in the assignments and supplement their information via the platform. Reference persons are invited by users to submit references on the user's competencies. The matching between customer and user takes place based on the customer's specified requirements and the users' reported competencies, references, evaluations, CVs, tests, etc. with the help of AI-driven processes. Customers later evaluate the assignment performed by the user and provide feedback on the platform.
It costs nothing for you as a user to use the platform. Commended instead enters into agreements with customers who advertise on the platform and charges the customer when he finds the right competence through the platform and has entered into an assignment agreement with you as a user. Commended is not a party to the agreements that the customer enters into with users. These agreements are entered into directly between the customer and the user and are reported by the customer to the platform.
This introduction is only a brief presentation of the platform and is not part of these General Terms and Conditions.
By pressing OK, you as a User and / or Reference Person agree to be bound by these General Terms and Conditions for the use of the Platform ("Terms").
These Terms constitute an agreement between you and Commended which you undertake to strictly follow.
Commended is a platform ("the Platform") that matches managers, consultants and other specialists ("Users") with companies that demand their skills ("Customers"). The matching is made based on the User's self-assessed competencies ("Competencies"), references and grading of Competencies ("References") given by reference persons ("Reference persons"), as well as other data sources such as CV, tests, etc. (collectively "User Profile").
The platform is made available to Users and Reference Persons via the website www.commended.ai. The platform is provided by Commended AB, corporate identity number 559285-0753 (“Commended”).
Users can via the Platform select and rate their Competences, upload documents such as CVs and can specify a short "elevator pitch" to be included in the User Profile.
Through the Platform, Users can invite Reference Persons to provide References of the User's Competences. References can be given through ratings of Competences or through descriptive texts / quotes. Reference persons can also themselves describe and rate their competencies in relevant areas so that the Platform can evaluate and rate the Reference and include these weighted results in the User's User Profile. Users can also act as Reference Persons and provide References of Other Users' Competences, at the invitation of these other Users.
Customers place advertisements on the Platform regarding assignments ("Assignments") that Users may apply to perform ("Advertisement"). Customers' use of the Platform is regulated in individual agreements and is thus not covered by these Terms.
Users who respond to Advertisements on the Platform and apply to perform Assignments and are then assigned the Assignment are called "Contractors". Contractors are divided into two groups. Contractors can either perform Assignments as self-employed (eg through a sole proprietorship, limited liability company or through self-employment companies) and holders of f-tax certificates for the Customer, or for such another company as the Customer designates ("Sub-Consultant"). Contractors may perform work assignments as ordinary employees without f-tax certificates, whereby such Contractors are employed by the Customer, or for such another company as the Customer designates, for the performance of the specific assignment ("Employees").
The Customer then evaluates the User as a potential Contractor in the project. The Customer may then have contacts with the User such as telephone calls, interviews and negotiation discussions outside the Platform.
The relationship between the Customer and the User / Contractor is regulated separately in an agreement ("Assignment Agreement"). All Customer and User / Contractor transactions, incl. the more detailed description of what the Assignment consists of, payment, etc., is regulated by this Assignment Agreement. Commended is not part of these Assignment Agreements and has no rights or obligations under these Assignment Agreements.
The Customer and the User enter into the Assignment Agreement outside the Platform. Through the Platform, the Customer shall inform Commended when such an agreement is entered into with the Customer (or with a legal entity designated by the Customer) with whom they first came into contact via Commended (the Customer also reports the conclusion of the Assignment Agreement to Commended).
After completing the Assignment, the platform sends an instruction to the Customer to evaluate the User / Contractor's execution of the Assignment. This information is an additional Reference that is coded and included in the User / Contractor's User Profile.
For the User's information, the Customer has an obligation to replace Commended in the event that the Customer has come into contact with the User through the Platform ("Commission"). According to separate agreements, the Customer is obliged to report to Commended the information required for Commended to be able to calculate and invoice its Commission to the Customer. In the absence of such information to Commended, the User shall, at the request of Commended for each Assignment that the User has come in contact with via the Platform, state his invoiced amount per month as Sub-Consultant ("Invoicing"), or his total pre-tax compensation including any pension payments as Employees ( "Salary"). However, the User has under no circumstances to issue any Commission to Commended, as long as the User fulfills his obligations as above.
The conditions for the use of the Platform may change, whereby Users and Reference Persons will be made aware of it when they log in to the Platform. However, it is the responsibility of each User and Reference Person to keep themselves informed of the terms and conditions that apply at any given time.
To be an Underkonsult, you are required to state the name, telephone, e-mail and organization number of the legal person (companies, associations, etc.) who is the Underkonsulten when registering, and continuously at the request of Commended. The sub-consultant must also hold an F-tax slip. Furthermore, you who represent the Sub-Consultant when registering, and continuously at the request of Commended, can state your name, social security number, as well as any other e-mail address and telephone number. The Deputy Consultant hereby certifies that he has the right to represent the Deputy Consultant on the Platform.
For each Execution of the Assignment, you are included as an Assignment Agreement with which regulates the conditions for the Execution of the Assignment, your compensation therefor, and more. Under no circumstances does the sub-consultant have any right to direct claims against Commended due to any non-compensation from the Customer.
The mediation of Assignments does not mean that Underkonsult is in any way in an employment or assignment relationship with Commended. The responsibility for these issues always lies with the Sub-Consultant and the Customer. Commended is also not responsible to any extent for employer contributions or other social contributions.
Users may not circumvent Commended by entering into a corresponding cooperation with the Customer as Advertised on the Platform, in other ways than through the Platform and in accordance with these Terms, without informing Commended about this to [email protected]. This applies within 2 years after use of the Platform where the User and Customer have been in contact via the Platform. This applies to both the Customer and companies close to the Customer, such as parent, sister or subsidiary. If the User violates this, Commended is entitled to a fine of SEK 50,000.
To be an Employee, you are required to provide the name, social security number, e-mail address and any telephone number to Commended when registering, and continuously at the request of Commended.
For each Execution of the Assignment, you as an Employee enter into an Assignment Agreement with the Customer or the Client which regulates the terms of the Execution of the Assignment, your compensation therefor, and more. Under no circumstances does the employee have any right to make a claim against Commended due to any non-compensation from the Customer.
The mediation of Assignments does not mean that Employees are in any way in an employment or assignment relationship with Commended. The responsibility for these issues always lies with the Employee and the Customer. Commended is also not responsible to any extent for employer contributions or other social contributions.
Users may not circumvent Commended by entering into a corresponding collaboration with the Customer as the Platform and in accordance with these Terms, without informing Commended about this to [email protected].

You undertake to provide only genuine and honest References regarding Users and their Competencies, based on your own, relevant experiences of the User and his Competencies.
Users are responsible for ensuring that the information and documents that the User uploads on the Platform are correct and that they do not contravene current legislation. Specifically, the User is responsible for stating only Competences he possesses and that his grading of these is honest and in accordance with reality. Furthermore, the User is responsible for only inviting Reference Persons to submit References with which the User has / has had a professional relationship such as employer, colleague, customer or the like. The user is also responsible for ensuring that the content of documents that the user uploads as a CV is truthful.
Reference persons are responsible for, when submitting a Reference regarding a User, correctly describing their relationship to the User, to only rate the User on Competencies where he has personal (and professional) experience / insight into the User's Competencies and that the rating given corresponds to the Reference Person's personal assessment. The same applies when Users act as Reference Person and provide References regarding other Users.
The User is also aware that information in the form of feedback from Customers regarding Assignments that the User / Contractor has performed through the Platform will be coded and included in the User / Contractor's User Profile and can be both positive and negative.
A User / Reference Person's account may only be used by the User or Reference Person to whom the registration information relates. It is forbidden to use another User or Reference Person's account.
The User / Reference Person is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account and the services that the User or Reference Person uses to log in (eg LinkedIn). The User or the Reference Person undertakes to notify Commended in the event of any unauthorized use of your account.
Users may at any time stop using the Platform and request that its information incl. User profile, deleted by contacting Commended at [email protected] . With the exception of 2.2, 2.3, 6, 7 and 8, these terms cease to apply when Users have notified Commended that they wish their data deleted from the Platform. Commended reserves the right to delete the User's account and its information after a long period of inactivity. Even then, conditions 2.2, 2.3, 6, 7 and 8 shall continue to be valid.
Reference persons may at any time stop using the Platform and request that its information, incl. User profile, deleted by contacting Commended at [email protected]. After such deletion, the Reference Person's submitted References are anonymized on Users so that it is not possible to see that it is a certain Reference Person who has submitted a certain Reference. Even after such deletion, however, the grading of the User's Competence remains, the way in which the Reference Person's Reference is weighted and coded in the User's User Profile and possibly descriptive texts / quotes (but the content of the reference left cannot be traced back to the Reference Person personally). With the exception of 2.4, 6, 7 and 8, these terms cease to apply when the Reference Person has notified Commended that they wish their data deleted from the Platform.
Commended may without prior notice to the User restrict, suspend, terminate or otherwise restrict a user account or delete certain content from a user account belonging to a User who does not comply with these Terms or who otherwise abuses or mismanages the Platform, incl. by posting illegal or otherwise inappropriate content on their User Profile.
