We will not be responsible for User’s reliance on Feedback or the results of such reliance.

4. BOOKING SESSIONS

Calendar and Time zones. When you book a Session, the Site’s calendar functionality will automatically adjust for the difference in time zones between the Mentor’s time zone and yours using the time zone information from your browser/computer. Nonetheless, you are responsible for ensuring that your time zone settings are correct (according to your location at the time of booking the Session), and your availability at the selected time. Additionally, Mentors and Users are committed to attending the scheduled Sessions at their scheduled time. Any cancellations or rescheduling must be made according to the below terms.
Required equipment. Sessions take place through video calls. You are responsible to ensure that you have the appropriate equipment for this purpose. This includes a functioning computer or mobile phone, an updated web browser (for Google Meets) or updated version of Zoom, a working webcam or camera, and a microphone, together with a reliable internet connection that provides sufficient download and upload speed. To guarantee the best experience, make sure that you are in a quiet place.

5. SERVICE FEES, CANCELLATIONS, RESCHEDULING, AND ‘NO-SHOWS’.

Service Fees. You may browse the Site free of charge. However, if you want to enjoy the Site’s services and/or Sessions with the wonderful Mentors then you will be required to pay the applicable fee (the “Service Fee”) which appears on the page of the applicable service that you are requesting or on the specific Mentor’s page. The Service Fee will be charged using the payment details that you provided when requesting the service. We may limit or change the available payment methods in our sole discretion. Never pay Mentors directly (out of the Site). All Service Fees should only be done through the Site. We will not reimburse or compensate you for payments made not through the Site.
Payment Processors. The payment processing system that we use is provided or supported by a third party (for example purpose only: PayPal, Cardcom and/or other international or local providers). Such third parties use accepted industry security standards. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that this service will be free of errors and do not take any responsibility, other than specifically stated in these Terms, for any faults, errors and or any other damages caused by these third-party payment Sites.
Payment Processor Fees. In certain cases, your selected method of payment may incur you additional fees. For example, PayPal may charge a fee/commission for online payments or currency conversion. These third-party fees are charged directly, and taken by, the relevant third-party payment processor and not by us. Any questions relating to these additional third-party fees should be raised directly with the relevant third-party payment processor.
Changes to Service Fees. Any applicable Service Fees (including any applicable taxes) charged by the Site (excluding additional fees deducted by the payment processor) will be displayed prior to confirming your request for the service. Although this is rare, the Service Fee may vary based on your geographical location due to exchange rates and payment processing fees. The specific industry in which the services are provided has a wide range of prices, and these often fluctuate. Therefore, we reserve the right to change the Service Fees at any time and at our sole discretion. Additionally, all Sessions with Mentors are priced by the Mentors themselves, and the Mentors, in their sole discretion, may adjust their prices. Despite the above, Mentors may not change their prices for a Session that has already been booked and paid for (unless the Session was cancelled, and the price was updated between the cancellation and the re-booking).
Cancellations and Refunds. You may cancel a session up to 24 hours before the scheduled Session time, in which case you will receive a refund of the Service Fee you paid, minus any payment transfer fees that we are charged by the payment processor (this fee is usually between 4%-10% of the Service Fee, depending on your method of payment, currency etc.).
For example, if you scheduled a Session with a Mentor for the 24^th of July at 20:00pm, you can cancel it by the 23rd of July at 19:59pm.
Refunds will usually be made within 14 business days but in some cases the refund period may take longer. If any refunds are made, they will be done through your original method of payment, or any other reasonable method currently available to us.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours and up to 3 hours before will receive a refund of 50% of the Service Fee. Cancellations made less than 3 hours before, or not showing up to a Session will not be refunded. You can reschedule the Session (see details below).

Although we strive to accept only the best Mentors to the Site, we do not guarantee that you will be satisfied with your Mentor, and do not provide refunds for this reason. We have a wide variety of Mentors on the Site, and you are responsible for selecting the Mentor that suits you best. If you were not satisfied with the service you received, please let us know through our contact page (include the Full name of the Mentor, the date of the Session, and why you were unsatisfied) and we will look into the matter.

Never refund Users/Mentors directly. If a User/Mentor asks you for a refund (not through the Site), please refer them to customer support via our contact page. We will not reimburse you for any payments that you make directly to a User/Mentor (and not through the Site).
Rescheduling. You can reschedule your Session up to 3 hours before the Session. That said, and while we understand the need to reschedule sometimes, and out of respect to our mentors, if you reschedule a session (that has already been rescheduled in the past) less than 24 hours in advance, or reschedule a session for a third time (even if done more than 24 hours in advance) you will be charged a 50% cancellation fee.
Not appearing at a scheduled Session will be considered a “No Show” (see next section – “Multiple Cancellations”).
Multiple Cancellations. If you cancel or reschedule numerous Sessions in a relatively short time frame, we might remove you from the Site and you will no longer be able to offer Mentor services or schedule Sessions with Mentors (as applicable).
No-Shows. A ‘No-Show’ is when a User or Mentor doesn’t appear to the scheduled Session (excluding up to 5 minutes ‘late arrival’ time). If the Mentor did not show, the User will receive a full refund. If the User did not show, the Mentor will receive the full-Service Fee (and the User will be charged the full-Service fee and not be entitled to a refund).

Additionally, when creating an account/profile, we will add you to a specific category or categories. We do so based on the information we received or collected about you.

All Service Fees are to be paid (or refunded) only on and through the Site. Attempting or asking for additional fees and/or payments will result in your suspension or banning from the Site and permanent deletion of your account.
Declining requests for Sessions and cancellations. You may cancel a Session that a User booked with you (as detailed in sub-section 5 – “Cancellations and Refunds” in chapter 5 = “Service Fees” here above), but please note that if you cancel or reschedule numerous Sessions, in a relatively short time frame, we might remove you from the Site and you will no longer be able to offer Mentor services.
Synchronizing your calendar. you are advised to synchronize your Google and/or Outlook Calendar to the Site, so that our booking system will not offer time slots in which you are already busy and so that sessions booked, cancelled, or rescheduled will appear in your calendar.
Payments, transfer fee and Site commission.
Transfer of payment. Payments to Mentors are made via PayPal, or other payment providers available to us at the time of payment. If you do not have a PayPal account, it is your responsibility to create one and we will not be responsible for any delays in payments due to the above.

Transfer fee. PayPal and/or other payment providers may charge fees for sending and/or receiving money. Any such fees will be deducted from the due amount. The percentage of the transfer fee deducted may vary based on your account type (private or business), it’s status and other factors which are not in our control, and which you can look into with PayPal.

Additional information. Additional personal information might be requested before we issue payments in order to confirm your identity. Refusal to provide such information might prevent payment for completed Sessions. Please see our Privacy Policy for more details.

Complaints/Disputes. Payments may be withheld if a dispute and/or a complaint has been filed by a User. The payment will be held until the result of the dispute has been decided by the Site. In the event that the complaint was found to be just, any payment returned to the user will be deducted from the payment due to the Mentor. In order to be eligible for Payment, you must reach a certain minimum due amount. The exact amount is published under our Mentor FAQs and may change from time to time in our sole discretion..
Site commission. We charge a 30% commission from each Session, or package of Sessions, booked through the Site. This fee is used, among other things, to enable the marketing of the Site and to maintain the high level of quality support to the Users and Mentors.
No-Solicitation.
