Skimble reserves the right to terminate Trainer accounts and Training Services at its sole discretion, as described in Our Terms of Use.
7. Pricing and Payments
As a Trainer, You are responsible for setting the price You will charge Clients for Your Training Services. Skimble is responsible for billing and collecting fees from Clients. As part of Your participation in and use of the Services, You agree that Skimble has permission to share Your Training Services, and information about You and the Training Services with Skimble employees and selected partners, for which You will not receive compensation. You acknowledge that Skimble does not guarantee any minimum level of success in connection with providing Your Training Services through the Services.
Skimble will pay You seventy percent (70%) of the Net Amount received for Training Services less any applicable deductions such as Client refunds ("Revenue Share"). "Net Amount" means Gross Amount, less any applicable taxes and other administrative or other handling fees incurred by Skimble. "Gross Amount" means the amount actually received by Skimble for purchases by Clients for the Training Services. If Skimble changes the Revenue Share, we will provide You thirty (30) days notice via email or by providing notice on the Services.
Skimble uses third party payment processors to process credit and debit card transactions for Your Skimble account, as well as make deposits to Your bank account via ACH transactions. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the third-party payment processor or financial institutions in addition to Our Terms of Use and this Trainer Terms of Use.
Payments processed through Stripe are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement").

As a condition of Skimble enabling payment processing services through Stripe, You agree to provide Skimble with accurate and complete information about You and You authorize Skimble to share it and transaction information related to Your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
Payment will be made to You within thirty (30) days of the end of the calendar month in which Skimble received a fee for the Training Services offered.

Moreover, as a Trainer, You are responsible for determining whether You are eligible to be paid by a US company.
8. Refunds
As set forth in the Terms of Use, Skimble's policy is that Client payments for the services are non-refundable. As a Trainer, however, You acknowledge and agree that Skimble, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine that certain circumstances warrant a refund of payments to a Client. Under such circumstances, neither Trainers nor Skimble shall receive any payments, fees or commissions for any transactions for which a refund has been granted. In the event that Skimble determines that a refund is necessary after a Trainer has been paid for Training Services, Skimble reserves the right to either (1) deduct the amount of such refund from the next payment to be sent to the Trainer, or (2) require that Trainer refund any amounts refunded to Client for the Training Services.
9. Taxes
You understand and agree that You are responsible for any taxes on Your income. You are responsible for following the requirements of the appropriate taxing authority related to sales tax on Your Training Services (which may be different to the tax authority in Your own location). Skimble is unable to provide You with tax advice and You should consult Your own tax advisor.
10. Deletion of Your Account
Upon deletion of Your Skimble account, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make any remaining scheduled payments due and owing to You prior to deleting Your Account. You hereby understand and agree that if Clients have previously paid for Your Training Services after Your Account has been deleted, Your name and the Training Services will remain accessible to those Clients.
11. Changes or Clarifications to Our Trainer Terms of Use
We reserve the right to change these Trainer Terms of Use at any time.

If You continue to use the Services, after the effective date of any change, then such access and/or use will be deemed an acceptance of and an agreement to follow and be bound by the Trainer Terms of Use as changed.
