Innerly is commission-based, with no subscription fees.

You will receive payment for the sessions when the session is complete and marked as such on the system via completing the session outcome.

The relevant percentage will be agreed upon and discussed between the Company and Consultant and disclosed within the Consultant Agreement. 

For the avoidance of doubt, it is confirmed that the transaction charges for Client payments made using credit/debit cards will be the Company's responsibility.

By using the service as a Consultant you agree to the fees that are applicable as are agreed from time to time between you and us.

We reserve the right to change the fee structure at our discretion, and in the event of any change, you will be duly notified of the change. The fee change will not affect sessions already in progress or those already booked with the Client.

 

The Consultant shall be responsible for any and all applicable taxes and such similar levies and impositions due and payable by the Consultant in all relevant jurisdictions and which arise out of the fees received by the Consultant.

 

If a Client has a dispute or complaint concerning session payment or other session-related issues, this will be taken up directly with the Consultant.

Prior to booking, Clients are informed that they will be charged for the session if they cancel. If a Client requests a refund, it is at the Consultant's discretion to decide if an exception should be made and payment refunded. If the payment is refunded, our commission will also be refunded. However, the Client will be charged a 5% Admin Fee to cover the Company’s expenses of dealing with the refund. 

5. WARRANTIES

6.2. Limitation of liability for the Consultant's activities on this Platform

Innerly is provided strictly on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Use of the Service is at the Users’ own risk.
 

Consultants acknowledge and accept that the Owner merely provides Users with the technical infrastructure and functionalities available on this Platform. Consultants are fully responsible for their conduct in sessions.  


The Owner does not intervene in any way as an intermediary, moderator or promoter in the interactions, agreements or transactions between Users and therefore disclaims any responsibility for such interactions between Users, and for the fulfilment of any obligations by Users.

Unless otherwise specified and subject to the applicable provisions of the law on product and service liability, any claim for damages against the Owner (or any natural or legal person acting on its behalf) is excluded.
 

The foregoing does not limit the Owner's liability for death, personal injury or damage to physical or mental integrity, damages resulting from the violation of essential contractual obligations, such as those obligations strictly necessary to achieve the cause of the agreement, and/or damages caused with malice or gross negligence, provided that the use of this Platform by the User has been appropriate and correct.

 

Unless the damages were caused with malice or gross negligence or affect the life and/or personal integrity, physical or mental, the Owner is liable only to the extent of the damage typical for the type of agreement and foreseeable at the time of conclusion.

 

In particular, within the limits stated above, the Owner assumes no liability for:

 

  • any loss of earnings or other losses, even indirect, that the User may have suffered (such as merely by way of example, loss of revenue, loss of contractual or commercial relationships, loss of goodwill or damage to reputation, etc.);

 

  • damages or losses deriving from interruptions or malfunctions of this Platform due to force majeure or unforeseen and unforeseeable events and, in any case, independent of the will and control of the Owner, such as by way of example only, failures or interruptions of telephone or electricity lines, Internet connection and/or other means of transmission, inaccessibility of websites, strikes, natural disasters, viruses and computer attacks, interruptions in the supply of products, services or applications of third parties;

 

  • any losses that are not a direct result of a breach of the Terms by the Owner;

 

  • We are not responsible for the failure of insurance payment or any of the insurers' actions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following limitations shall apply to all Consultants:

In the event of the Owner's liability, the compensation due may not exceed the total amount of payments that have been, will be, or may be contractually owed to the Owner by Consultants for a period of 12 months or the entire term of the Agreement, whichever is shorter.

All communications regarding Innerly must be sent using the contact information indicated in these Terms and Conditions. Consultants must keep the Company informed at all times of up-to-date contact information. 

7.8. Severability

Should any provision of these Terms be or be deemed void, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall do their best to find, in an amicable way, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions thereby substituting the void, invalid or unenforceable parts.

In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, if so permitted or stated under the applicable law.

Without prejudice to the above, the nullity, invalidity or the impossibility to enforce a particular provision of these Terms shall not nullify the entire Agreement unless the severed provisions are essential to the Agreement, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract if they had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship on any of the parties.

7.9. No Implied Waiver

The owner's failure to exercise any statutory rights or claims under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver shall be deemed conclusive with respect to a specific right or any other right.
