Fees
Any fees or payments owed by you in connection with the Service are payable in advance and are not refundable in whole or in part, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the event that the instructor fails to show up for a Lesson that you have paid for in advance, and the Lesson is not provided to you, Revoluminary will issue you a refund for the missed Lesson upon request. Revoluminary charges students using the Google checkout system to collect fees associated with Lessons and the Revoluminary network fee.
Payment
Revoluminary will remit the amount received by Revoluminary in exchange for Lesson’s provided by you as an instructor, less any taxes Publisher withholds, within two (2) weeks after the close of any month in which Revoluminary receives full payment from the applicable user. Each Lesson may only have one designated instructor for the purpose of payment. Consistent with the foregoing, Revoluminary need not remit payment to an instructor for Revoluminary’s internal installation or use of the Lesson or for any unpaid purchases. Revoluminary’s service charge is charged to users as a separate line item in their purchase of a Lesson. This service charge is retained by Revoluminary as its fee for providing the Service. Revoluminary may withhold payment until the amount due reaches a reasonable minimum threshold as set by Revoluminary in accordance with its payment policy as described through the your online account with Revoluminary accessible via Revoluminary’s website, which policy may be updated by Revoluminary at its sole discretion and at any time. Returns, refunds, chargebacks and other reversals incurred by Revoluminary in connection with purchases of the Lessons will be credited to Revoluminary against sales of Lessons. Revoluminary reserves the right to charge a fee to you as an instructor, if you are late to or miss scheduled Lessons, in addition to all other remedies, including termination of your Revoluminary account.
Access to the Service; Modifications to Service
Revoluminary does not provide you with the equipment to access the Service. Revoluminary reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or part of the Service without notice.
