The Skillr Platform

The Platform comprises an online marketplace that connects consumers Users (“Seekrs”), in real time via one-on-one video conferencing (each video conference a “Session”) with individuals purporting to have particular subject matter knowledge or expertise (collectively “Skillrs”, their knowledge and expertise “Services of Skillrs”). The Company does not directly provide Sessions and is not an agent or representative of any Seekr or Skillr.

Skillrs and The Services of Skillrs
By providing Sessions, Skillrs represent and warrant that they are fully qualified and experienced, and licensed, certified, bonded, and insured, as required by applicable laws or regulations, for the specific knowledge or expertise they are performing.

If your account is terminated or cancelled (whether by you or Skillr), Skillr does not have an obligation to delete or return to you any Content you have posted to the Platform.
Payment
Skillr does not process payments or handle User funds (“Fees”). Rather, the Platform provides for Fees to be made from Seekrs to Skillrs (“Payments”) through our payment processing partner, Stripe. Therefore, Seekrs must review, accept and agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/legal), and any other related terms and conditions provided by Stripe. Skillrs must review, accept, and agree to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/connect-account/legal) and any other related terms and conditions provided by Stripe. By using the Platform, Seekrs authorize Stripe to charge your credit/debit card, bank account or other payment method for Sessions purchased on the Platform. By using the Platform, Skillrs authorize Stripe to charge or disburse Fees to your bank account or other payment method for Sessions provided through the Platform. It is a Users obligation to keep Seekr payment or Skillr disbursement information up to date, and the Company will not be responsible for any delays in payment resulting from your failure to do so.
Should any disputes arise regarding payments made by Seekrs or earned by Skillrs in connection with Platform, you agree to the following dispute resolution procedure. You may initiate a dispute in the Platform, or may submit any payment dispute by email to Help@skillr.com. This includes all disputes relating to alleged charges and/or payment errors, refund requests, and any other disputes relating to payments by Seekrs or earnings and disbursements to Skillrs. The Company will endeavor to review your claim and provide a written determination within thirty (30) days of receipt, unless otherwise required by law. Our review will be based on these Terms and the Stripe Services Agreement. For Seekrs, we will attempt to cause Stripe to pay you any disputed amounts we determine you are owed using the method with which you made the disputed payment, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so if your payment method information is inaccurate, incomplete, or has been cancelled. If as a Seekr you close or deactivate your account before we reach a final resolution of your claim, we will not be able to issue you any amounts you are owed and are not responsible for any resulting delays or non-payment. For Skillrs, we will attempt to cause Stripe to pay you any disputed amounts we determine you are owed using bank account or other disbursement information you provided to Stripe.

Arbitration
Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes
You, together with Skillr, agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to these Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Skillr, and not in a court of law.
You acknowledge and agree that you and Skillr are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and Skillr each retain the to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Administration
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/. The parties agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of New York.
This arbitration and class action waiver section shall survive any termination of your account or the Platform.
Process for Requesting Arbitration
Skillr believes that most disputes can be resolved by the Parties without litigation. Please contact Skillr’s customer support team at Help@skillr.com regarding any dispute, claim or other disagreement. Except as described above in connection with intellectual property claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim or disagreement directly, prior to initiating an arbitration. Good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating an arbitration.
In the event that the Parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the date that You contacted Skillr’s customer support team, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims. To initiate arbitration, you must provide Skillr with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators having applicable experience. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
You are responsible for payment of any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Skillr will pay all such fees, unless the Arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
General Provisions
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Skillr that is not subject to arbitration must be resolved by a court located in New York County, New York, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, located in New York, New York, except as otherwise agreed by the parties. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of these courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes that are not subject to arbitration. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue challenges that may otherwise be available.

Construction

Charitable Giving through SKILLR
Skillr may, from time to time, offer qualified charitable organizations (“Organizations”) access to the Platform for the purpose of soliciting donations and contributions from Users (“Charitable Programs”).

Organization’s Representations and User’s Duty to Independently Review
