We are continuously improving the Platform or Service for all users and reserve the right to make changes at any time. Changes we make to the Platform or Service, including discontinuing certain features, affect all users and we try to minimise disruption to users. However, these changes may affect users differently.

Talentfam receives commission ("Talentfam Fees") from Vendors for providing use of the Talentfam Service.

After the Vendor accepts your booking request, the amount of the Booking Cost is captured from your payment method (e.g., credit card) and delivered to Vendor's Stripe Account. Please review the cancellation policy prior to submitting a booking request.

While we may facilitate the booking process, the transaction of the booking cost is happening directly between the Event Organizer and the Vendor, and is processed via our Payment partner, Stripe.

Except as required by Law, we will not calculate, track or pay Taxes or submit Tax reporting on your behalf. You are responsible for all Taxes owed for Booking or Listing a Vendor Service, including, without limitation, accurate calculation of Taxes due, timely remittance of Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and maintenance of any required records and accounts. If any taxing authority demands that we pay such Taxes on your behalf, you are immediately liable to us for such Taxes and will reimburse or pay Talentfam for such Taxes upon demand. You are also responsible for any penalties arising from your failing to comply with this Agreement including those issued by regulatory or taxing authorities, law enforcement, fire code or safety agencies, or other third parties; or that may be issued by us for losses we or users incur that are based on your failing to comply with this Agreement or misuse of the Platform, or Services (collectively, “Fines”).

(c) Payment: You will timely and fully pay any Fees, Taxes, or other amounts you owe under this Agreement. If you owe amounts and we are unable to receive payment through the Platform for any reason, then we may require that you pay through other means (such as bank transfer). We may set-off any amounts owed to us through collection of funds that would otherwise be payable to you through the Platform. You are responsible for any costs or expenses associated with our recovering Fees, Taxes, or Fines owed, including our attorneys’ fees or expenses.

3 Platform Services

3.1 Booking Process

As an Event Organizer, you should review the Vendor’s profile in the Platform to confirm he/she is appropriate for your Booking. Prior to confirming your Booking, you will need to provide payment information through our partner, Stripe. Booking Cost will be shown before you pay for your Booking. You are responsible for all Fees and Taxes associated with the Booking. All Bookings are subject to the Cancellation Policy. When you complete your booking, you expect to receive Vendor Services as described in the Vendor's listing and discussed during the “Pre-Show Video Call” (if the latter has been booked), subject to this Agreement.

‍

3.1.1 Description of Vendor Services

Each booking has the following features which define the "Vendor Service" that is expected to be delivered from the booked Vendor:

Experience Type:
(i) "In-Person" experience for services conducted in-person at the Event Organizer’s specified place or venue. The Event Organizer confirms that he/she has the complete right to use this location at the specified time for the purpose of the Vendor Service.
(ii) "Virtual" experience for services conducted online via video software (e.g. Zoom). The Vendor confirms that he/she is a licensed user of the video software and the Event Organizer is aware on how to join the online meeting via a meeting link.

Duration:
The duration of the Main Show is selected during the booking process and needs to be respected during the Vendor Service.

Guests:
The maximum number of guests is selected during the booking process and needs to be respected during the Vendor Service.

Personalization:
(i) "Pre-Show Video Call": Some Vendors offer this option at no extra cost. It refers to a 15-minute video call via a video software (e.g. Zoom) during which the Vendor and the Event Organizer get to know each other, discuss the specificities of the event and the audience. This discussion should not cause extra cost or work for the Vendor. Both parties need to agree at the expectations of the Vendor Service. If no such agreement takes place you should contact us at hello@talentfam.com.
(ii) "Information Form": The Event Organizer has the option to fill a questionnaire to provide additional information to the Vendor. The Vendor needs to review this information and personalize the Vendor Service accordingly. This information should not cause extra cost or work for the Vendor. If the information is not clear you should contact us at hello@talentfam.com.
(iii) "No personalization": There is no additional information to personalize the Vendor Service.

‍

3.1.2 Booking Agreement

Both parties (i.e. Event Organizer and Vendor) agree on the following:

Comply with local laws, local zoning ordinances, and tax laws at all times. Talentfam is not liable for ensuring compliance and it is the responsibility of spaces and each listing owner to ensure all local laws, zoning ordinance, local noise regulations, and also tax compliance are met.
Never engage in illegal or prohibited activity during the Vendor Service.
Communicate honestly with each other. Talentfam is a marketplace that depends on the honesty, integrity, and best interest of everyone that uses the platform. Do not make false claims, misrepresentations, do not engage in fraudulent activity, and do not willingly be deceitful.
Transact honestly and with the intended use of Talentfam. Talentfam is intended to be a marketplace for Event Organizers to explore Vendor Services and Vendors to offer their Vendor Services. Any transactions that are not intended for this purpose, are misrepresented, have fraudulent intent, or otherwise deemed harmful to either user will be immediately reviewed and if fraudulent, legal action will be taken by Talentfam if deemed necessary. All users and transactions are also applicable to the Terms of Service that is agreed upon by using the platform.
Be responsible for and accept all liability for any damage done during the Vendor Service by yourself or others in attendance whether intentional or not, for your failure to comply with applicable Laws, and for any Fines you incur.
Respect others privacy and information. Vendor Services rely on bringing the unexpected element to the audience. Therefore, many Vendors are not willing their Services to be recorded. Moreover, Event Organizers may not be eager that videos, photos or other information from their event is shared externally. In some cases, Event Organizers or Vendors may require to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) at the event location prior to the beginning of the Vendor Services. This should be discussed and agreed well in advance before the date of the Vendor Service. If there is ever an issue with privacy, venue security, or other rules, please send us an email immediately at hello@talentfam.com.
Event Organizers are responsible for the behaviour and acts of others in attendance and ensure that the use does not exceed any limitations identified in the Booking.

‍

3.2 Booking Updates - Cancellations

All cancellations and any refunds that may be available to you are subject to the Talentfam Cancellation Policy. Talentfam is not liable for any fees, expenses, or liability that is not in compliance with the Cancellation Policy.

‍

3.3 Post-Booking

After the booking takes place, the Event Organizer may receive an email to provide feedback or report an issue.

3.3.1 Feedback

The Event Organizer can rate the Vendor's Experience via a 5-star rating scale and a text box. The star rating will aggregate to the overall Vendor's rating score while the text will be placed on Vendor's profile together with the first name of the Event Organizer.

Note: Once the feedback is submitted by the Event Organizer, it is not yet public; it needs to be approved by Talentfam before it becomes visible.

3.3.2 Issue/Disputes

This section describes how disputes or claims arising under this Agreement between you and another user will be resolved. Please read this section carefully before accepting this Agreement—you may not use the Platform or Services if you do not agree to this section.

You agree to first attempt to resolve any disputes, disagreements, or claims that you have with other users (“User Dispute”) in good faith between the two parties or through the Platform within 48 hours after the booking took place by clicking "REPORT AN ISSUE" on the page mentioned above. Upon review and investigation, we will provide you and the other user our recommendation based on the summary provided. Given that the V is directly paid (direct charges) from the Event Organizer via Stripe Connect platform, the Vendor is ultimately responsible for the dispute resolution.

The party filing the User Dispute will be responsible for payment of any costs associated with that filing, including costs borne by Talentfam. As a part of the User Dispute, you may also seek to recover these costs if you prevail. Any payments held by Talentfam pending final resolution of a User Dispute shall be disbursed by Talentfam as determined by Talentfam, the arbitrator, or a court of competent jurisdiction.

We act as a data controller and a data processor in terms of the GDPR when handling Personal Information, unless we have entered into a data processing agreement with you in which case you would be the data controller and we would be the data processor.

Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving Personal Information. We act in the capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your Personal Information that is necessary to ensure your access and use of the Website and Services. In such instances, we are a data controller because we determine the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information and we comply with data controllers’ obligations set forth in the GDPR.

We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the Website and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted Personal Information, and such Personal Information is processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User providing Personal Information acts as a data controller in terms of the GDPR.

In order to make the Website and Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect and use certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:

Create and manage user accounts
Fulfill and manage orders
Deliver products or services
Send administrative information
Send marketing and promotional communications
Send product and service updates
Respond to inquiries and offer support
Request user feedback
Improve user experience
Post customer testimonials
Protect from abuse and malicious users
Run and operate the Website and Services

Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are located in the world and if one of the following applies: (i) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; this, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Information is subject to California Consumer Privacy Act or European data protection law; (ii) provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

We rely on the following legal bases as defined in the GDPR upon which we collect and process your Personal Information:

User’s consent
Performance of a contract

Note that under some legislations we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases above. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Microsoft Clarity

We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement

Payment processing

In case of Services requiring payment, you may need to provide your credit card details or other payment account information, which will be used solely for processing payments. We use third-party payment processors (“Payment Processors”) to assist us in processing your payment information securely.

Payment Processors adhere to the latest security standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Sensitive and private data exchange happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures, and the Website and Services are also in compliance with strict vulnerability standards in order to create as secure of an environment as possible for Users. We will share payment data with the Payment Processors only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing your payments, refunding such payments, and dealing with complaints and queries related to such payments and refunds.

Please note that the Payment Processors may collect some Personal Information from you, which allows them to process your payments (e.g., your email address, address, credit card details, and bank account number) and handle all the steps in the payment process through their systems, including data collection and data processing. The Payment Processors’ use of your Personal Information is governed by their respective privacy policies which may or may not contain privacy protections as protective as this Policy. We suggest that you review their respective privacy policies.

Through our payment processor, your payment is directly transferred to your Vendor once your booking is confirmed. Therefore your Vendor may access your personal details, such as email, name, location.

Managing information

You are able to delete certain Personal Information we have about you. The Personal Information you can delete may change as the Website and Services change. When you delete Personal Information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised Personal Information in our records for the duration necessary to comply with our obligations to our affiliates and partners, and for the purposes described below. If you would like to delete your Personal Information or permanently delete your account, you can do so on the settings page of your account on the Website.

Disclosure of information

Depending on the requested Services or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any Service you have requested, we may share your information with our affiliates, contracted companies, and service providers (collectively, “Service Providers”) we rely upon to assist in the operation of the Website and Services available to you and whose privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies with respect to Personal Information. We will not share any information with unaffiliated third parties.

Service Providers are not authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. Service Providers are given the information they need only in order to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose any of the provided information for their own marketing or other purposes. We will share and disclose your information only with the following categories of Service Providers:

Payment processors

We may also disclose any Personal Information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Retention of information

We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, as long as your user account remains active, to enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, and unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.

Transfer of information

Depending on your location, data transfers may involve transferring and storing your information in a country other than your own. However, this will not include countries outside the European Union and European Economic Area. If any such transfer takes place, you can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this Policy or inquire with us using the information provided in the contact section.

Data protection rights under the GDPR

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you have certain data protection rights and we aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Information. If you wish to be informed what Personal Information we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us. In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

(i) You have the right to withdraw consent where you have previously given your consent to the processing of your Personal Information. To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your Personal Information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

(ii) You have the right to learn if your Personal Information is being processed by us, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing, and obtain a copy of your Personal Information undergoing processing.

(iii) You have the right to verify the accuracy of your information and ask for it to be updated or corrected. You also have the right to request us to complete the Personal Information you believe is incomplete.

(iv) You have the right to object to the processing of your information if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent. Where Personal Information is processed for the public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in us, or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us, you may object to such processing by providing a ground related to your particular situation to justify the objection. You must know that, however, should your Personal Information be processed for direct marketing purposes, you can object to that processing at any time without providing any justification. To learn whether we are processing Personal Information for direct marketing purposes, you may refer to the relevant sections of this Policy.

(v) You have the right, under certain circumstances, to restrict the processing of your Personal Information. These circumstances include: the accuracy of your Personal Information is contested by you and we must verify its accuracy; the processing is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of your Personal Information and request the restriction of its use instead; we no longer need your Personal Information for the purposes of processing, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend your legal claims; you have objected to processing pending the verification of whether our legitimate grounds override your legitimate grounds. Where processing has been restricted, such Personal Information will be marked accordingly and, with the exception of storage, will be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, to exercise or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural, or legal person or for reasons of important public interest.

(vi) You have the right, under certain circumstances, to obtain the erasure of your Personal Information from us. These circumstances include: the Personal Information is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure such as where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, to exercise or defense of legal claims.

(vii) You have the right to receive your Personal Information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance from us, provided that such transmission does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

(viii) You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your Personal Information. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint directly with us, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the EEA. This provision is applicable provided that your Personal Information is processed by automated means and that the processing is based on your consent, on a contract which you are part of, or on pre-contractual obligations thereof.

California privacy rights

Consumers residing in California are afforded certain additional rights with respect to their Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). If you are a California resident, this section applies to you.

In addition to the rights as explained in this Policy, California residents who provide Personal Information as defined in the statute to obtain Services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us, once a calendar year, information about the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected and disclosed.

Furthermore, California residents have the right to request deletion of their Personal Information or opt-out of the sale of their Personal Information which may include selling, disclosing, or transferring Personal Information to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. To do so, simply contact us. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

How to exercise your rights

Any requests to exercise your rights can be directed to us through the contact details provided in this document. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. Your request must provide sufficient information that allows us to verify that you are the person you are claiming to be or that you are the authorized representative of such person. If we receive your request from an authorized representative, we may request evidence that you have provided such an authorized representative with power of attorney or that the authorized representative otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests on your behalf.

You must include sufficient details to allow us to properly understand the request and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information unless we first verify your identity or authority to make such a request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time. The Website and Services do not track its visitors over time and across third-party websites. However, some third-party websites may keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

We may permit certain third-party companies to help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to Users and to collect and use other data about User activities on the Website. These companies may deliver ads that might place cookies and otherwise track User behavior.

Social media features

Our Website and Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook and Twitter buttons, Share This buttons, etc (collectively, “Social Media Features”). These Social Media Features may collect your IP address, what page you are visiting on our Website and Services, and may set a cookie to enable Social Media Features to function properly. Social Media Features are hosted either by their respective providers or directly on our Website and Services. Your interactions with these Social Media Features are governed by the privacy policy of their respective providers.

Email marketing

We offer electronic newsletters to which you may voluntarily subscribe at any time.

We will maintain the information sent via e-mail in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all e-mails sent from us will clearly state who the e-mail is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender. You may choose to stop receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails or by contacting us. However, you will continue to receive essential transactional emails.

As the security of Personal Information depends in part on the security of the device you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your credentials, please take appropriate measures to protect this information.

Data breach

In the event we become aware that the security of the Website and Services has been compromised or Users’ Personal Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will send you an email.

VENDOR Policy

If you want to offer “Vendor Services” through the Talentfam Platform, you must read and agree to be bound by these policies for Vendors ("Vendor Policy"). If you do not accept this Vendor Policy in full in addition to the "Terms of Service", you shall not use the Talentfam platform to list and provide your "Vendor Services".

This Vendor Policy is designed to encourage the highest standards of Vendor behavior in their relationships with Customers by setting clear expectations, and to provide the principles to guide Vendors when providing Services and interacting with Customers. However, our Vendors come from all over the world and are thus accustomed to a variety of different cultural norms. As a result, this Vendor Policy attempts to adopt universally accepted standards of respect and tolerance. This Vendor Policy does not attempt to address every potential situation that could arise when Vendors interact with Customers, but instead provides principles for ethical and professional behavior that can serve as guidance regarding Talentfam expectations.

1. VENDOR REGISTRATION

In order to become a Vendor, you must first submit a complete application ("Vendor Application") together with a copy of your passport or other official identification card issued by the applicable government authorities through the Talentfam Platform. Your completed Vendor Application will be evaluated by Talentfam for approval. If your Vendor Application is approved, you will have the ability to create and manage an account on the Talentfam Platform, and you can begin providing "Experiences" to your Customers.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Talentfam may obtain (i) background check reports from public records or through third party vendors regarding matters such as criminal convictions or sex offender registrations, and/or (ii) identity verification check reports. As a condition of applying to become a Vendor, you agree and authorize us to use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports.

2. VENDOR SERVICES

After your application is accepted, you can configure from your dashboard the Vendor Services ("Experiences") that will be listed on the Talentfam platform. You must only select the features that you are experienced and comfortable to perform.
Details of "Experiences" and their features can be found in section 3.1.1 of the Terms of Service.

3. SERVICE GUIDELINES

3.1 Setting up your prices and availability

After your successful registration in the Talentfam platform, you have access to your dashboard. In this dashboard you are able to:

Define your services ("Experiences"), i.e. which Booking Types you offer, for how many participants, for which duration, and in which area (in case of In-Person experiences).
Set up the prices for your Experiences. You can adjust your prices anytime from your dashboard at your own will.
Specify your availability, i.e. the time slots during the week in which you are available to offer Experiences and are visible to other Users for Booking Requests.

3.2 Booking Request

Once a Customer selects you on the Talentfam platform and finalizes the booking process, you will receive a Booking Request. To proceed, you agree to the following:

Use the Talentfam Platform to manage all Booking Requests from Customers;
Respond to all Booking Requests with “Accept” or ”Decline”. Booking requests expire after 24 hours – make sure you reply on time;
In case of Pre-Show Video Call with your Customer, ensure you keep a record of all important details of the communication between you and your Customer;
Respond promptly to all related communications, whether from a Customer or from Talentfam.

3.3 Booking Policy

All Vendors are expected to comply with the following policies when providing Experiences:

Commit to your scheduled Booking. A confirmed Booking is a commitment you make with your Customer. Cancel as a last resort. If you know you will be away and unable to respond to Booking Requests for a certain period, update the availability information on your Talentfam dashboard or change your status to “Inactive” accordingly.
Start your Experience on time. In your dashboard you can configure buffer time you may need after your bookings, consider preparation time or transportation in between your shows.
Personalize your Experience. Consider any information you have received either from the Pre-Show Form or from the discussion you had with your Customer during the Pre-Show Video Call. In case of Pre-Show Video Call, be prepared to ask relevant questions and/or offer a quick demonstration (demo) of your main Show.
Wait for a late Customer. If the Customer or other Participants are late for a scheduled Booking, you should be available until the end of the period for the scheduled Booking. You should be available to start Experiences at any time during the scheduled period for the Booking. You are not, however, required to make up for lost time due to the Customer’s late arrival.
End Experiences on time. You should politely let your Customers know that their Bookings are ending by reminding them before the end of the Booking time period. You may politely mention that you need to prepare for an upcoming Booking with another Customer.
Health & Safety above all. You must consider any potential risks associated during the interactions with the participants of the event. You should never perform any actions that may cause accidents or injuries.
Be Cultural sensitive. Respect the values and traditions of your Customers. Unless specifically requested, please avoid asking about personal lives, political or religious affiliations.
Respect Customer's privacy. Recording audio or video of a booking is not permitted without the Customer's prior written or recorded consent.

3.4 Booking rejection, cancellation, and rescheduling

If you will be unable to provide your Services, you have the following options:

When a Booking Request is sent to you, you have 24 hours to reply. You may DECLINE it if you are unable to commit to it. Customer's payment will be returned in full to the Customer.
After you have accepted a Booking Request, you may still CANCEL it if you unable to perform your services in the agreed date and time. Customer's payment will be returned in full to the Customer, and you will be charged the payment processing fee from Stripe (usually of 2.9% + 0.30). Please cancel your Bookings as a last resort and well in advance if possible. In case of several booking cancellations, your participation in the platform may be suspended or completely removed.
There is no rescheduling possible via the Talentfam platform.

3.5 Payment and disputes

To benefit of the Talentfam platform, you agree to the following:

You use your Stripe account to handle your payments. In case you do not have a Stripe account yet, you need to create one and go through the onboarding process from Stripe;
After the funds from your Customer's payment are available in your Stripe account, you have the options to withdraw them, leave them in your Stripe account or even refund your Customer if needed;
For the intermediary services, Talentfam will charge you a fee only after you have received the payment from you Customer in your Stripe account;
You must also legally report income generated via the Talentfam platform to your business and it is your responsibility to do so. If you are responsible for charging local taxes on services, you must also comply with these regulations.
In case of any disputes initiated by your Customer, you are responsible of handling them. We, Talentfam, and our partner, Stripe, can provide support in handling disputes if needed.

3.6 Additional guidelines

You also agree the following additional guidelines in connection with providing your Services on the Talentfam Platform:

Maintain the privacy of your Customers pursuant to the Talentfam Privacy Policy, including refraining from requesting any personally identifiable information, such as birth date, age, government issued identification number, phone number, or home address;
Maintain records of all invoices and payments in connection with your Services;
Cooperate with Talentfam in any anti-fraud actions;
Report any violation of the Talentfam Terms or any other Talentfam Policies, including misuse of ratings and feedback.

4. VIOLATION OF THIS VENDOR POLICY

Fail to deliver any Service for which payment was accepted;
Fail to take reasonable efforts to resolve a dispute with a Customer;
Create unacceptable levels of Customer dissatisfaction;
Violate any Talentfam Terms or any other Talentfam Policies.

Talentfam reserves the right to take any of the following actions at any time and in its sole discretion:
