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
From time to time, We may update these Vendor Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect
new or different practices, such as when We add new features, and Luma Learn reserves
the right to modify and/or make changes to these Vendor Terms at any time. If We make
any material change We will notify You using prominent means such as by email notice sent
to the email address specified in Your Account or by posting a notice on Our Services.
Other modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated
otherwise. 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 Vendor Terms as changed. The revised Vendor Terms supersedes all
previous Vendor Terms.
