9. Payments
Upon sale of a Class to a Learner, Luma Learn will transfer the Vendor’s Fees less the fee payable to Luma Learn for hosting the marketplace (“Luma Learn Fee”) to Vendor’s Paypal account in installments. Luma Learn has sole discretion over the installment schedule of Vendor Fees with final payment occurring after all class components are delivered. To facilitate this transfer, Vendor shall sign up for a Paypal account and register that account with Luma Learn. Luma Learn has sole discretion to act on behalf of the Learner, and to not pay Vendor Fees, if Learner reports that the Classes were not provided or adequately completed. This may include but is not limited to circumstances where a Vendor did not arrive for a Class or a Class was of insufficient quality. Luma Learn will independently review such cases, seeking input from the Learner and/or the Vendor in its sole discretion, and may decide at its sole discretion to issue a refund to the Learner. Each Vendor appoints Luma Learn as the Vendor’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Vendor Fees from Learner. Each User agrees that payment of Vendor Fees by a Learner to Luma Learn, as that Vendor’s limited payment collection agent, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by such Learner to the relevant Vendor and the Vendor will provide the relevant Classes to the Learner, as outlined on the Site, as if the Vendor had received payment directly. Luma Learn, as limited payment collection agent for the Vendor, agrees to facilitate the payment of any Vendor Fees (less the Luma Learn Fee) for Classes provided after Class Delivery unless otherwise agreed between Luma Learn and the Vendor. In the event that Luma Learn does not remit such amounts, the Vendor will have recourse only against Luma Learn.
10. Refunds
As a Vendor, you acknowledge and agree that Learners have the right to receive a refund, as set forth in Luma Learn’s Refund Policy. Neither Vendors nor Luma Learn shall receive any payments, fees or commissions for any transactions for which a refund has been granted. In the event that a Learner requests a refund for a Course after Luma Learn has sent a vendor payment for that Course, Luma Learn reserves the right to either (1) deduct the amount of such refund from the next payment to be sent to that Vendor, or (2) require that Vendor to refund any amounts refunded to Learners for Vendor’s Course to the extent no additional payments are due from Luma Learn to Vendor or such payments due to the Vendor are insufficient to cover the amounts refunded to Learners.
11. Modifications to Service
Luma Learn reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Luma Learn will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service or any of its components.
12. Indemnity and Release
You agree to release, indemnify and hold Luma Learn and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of another. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee from or against any liability, losses, damages or expenses incurred as a result of any action or inaction of such Indemnitee. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine. Furthermore, you agree to hold Luma Learn harmless from any financial burdens incurred due to technical difficulties whether those difficulties be caused by the vendor’s own doing or by Luma Learn’s.
13. Modifications to These Vendor Terms
