2.1 Independent status
The Consultant acts as an independent contractor, not an employee, worker, agent, partner, franchisee or representative of Consulty, and has no authority to bind Consulty. The Consultant controls delivery subject to agreed scope, law, professional standards and Platform rules.
2.2 Eligibility, verification and licences
The Consultant must provide accurate identity, address, business, banking, tax, qualification and licence information and authorises verification by Consulty and payment/compliance providers. Approval does not constitute endorsement, certification or a guarantee of competence.
2.3 Service standards
Consultants must act professionally, respond reasonably, attend confirmed meetings, deliver agreed work, protect Client information, disclose conflicts and avoid misleading claims or guaranteed outcomes. Material subcontracting requires Client consent.
2.4 Pricing and 15% commission
Unless a written commercial schedule states otherwise, Consulty charges 15% of the gross Client payment for each booking or service. Commission is earned on successful payment and remains payable where a transaction is moved off-platform, refunded because of Consultant breach or charged back for reasons attributable to the Consultant, subject to law and the Refund Policy.
2.5 Consulty-managed payout
Consultants may receive payouts through Stripe Connect or another supported provider after completing onboarding, KYC, tax and bank requirements. Commission, processing costs, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, reserves, conversion, taxes and lawful deductions may be deducted before net payout.
2.6 Consultant’s own payment account
Where available, a Consultant may connect an eligible Stripe or other payment account in the Consultant’s own name for a USD 29 monthly technology, integration and account-management subscription billed in advance. The 15% marketplace commission continues unless Consulty confirms a different rate in writing. The Consultant remains responsible for provider fees, reserves, tax configuration, disputes, chargebacks, account standing and provider compliance.
2.7 Payout timing and reserves
Payout estimates are indicative. Payouts may be delayed, reversed, withheld or reserved due to provider review, sanctions, fraud, missing KYC, chargebacks, refunds, legal process, bank holidays, conversion or negative balances.
2.8 Refunds, disputes and recovery
The Consultant authorises Consulty to decide marketplace refund requests in good faith using booking records, messages, attendance, deliverables and other evidence. Amounts owed may be recovered from current or future payouts, authorised payment methods, invoices or other lawful means.
2.9 Taxes
The Consultant is solely responsible for registration, invoicing, reporting and payment of VAT, corporate, income, withholding and other taxes arising from earnings, except taxes Consulty must legally collect or remit.
2.10 Confidentiality and data protection
Client personal and confidential information may be used only to perform the booked service, with appropriate security, limited access and deletion or return when no longer needed. It must not be sold, reused or disclosed for unrelated marketing without lawful authority.
2.11 Intellectual property and insurance
Consultants retain pre-existing tools and know-how. On full payment, the Client receives the rights expressly described in the scope; if none are specified, a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual licence for internal business use. Consultants must maintain legally required or reasonably appropriate insurance.
2.12 Termination
Consulty may suspend or terminate a Consultant for poor performance, repeated cancellations, misleading credentials, safety concerns, non-payment, high dispute rates, provider restrictions, unlawful activity or policy breach. Termination does not affect accrued fees, refunds, indemnities, confidentiality, intellectual property or outstanding disputes.
