Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

Welcome to Clustr ("App"), operated by Clustr App  ("Company", "we", "our", or "us"). By accessing or using Clustr, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the App.

2. Use of the App

• Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old to use Clustr. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

• Account Registration: To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate and complete.

• Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Membership and Fees

• Monthly Membership Fee: Users (referred to as "moms" in this document) will be charged a monthly membership fee to access the App. By subscribing to Clustr, you agree to pay the monthly membership fee specified at the time of your subscription. Membership fees are subject to change, and we will notify you in advance of any changes.

• Billing and Payment: Membership fees are billed on a monthly basis in advance. You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for the applicable membership fee. If your payment method fails, we may suspend or terminate your access to the App until payment is received.

• Refund Policy: Membership fees are non-refundable. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to Clustr until the end of your current billing period, but you will not receive a refund for any unused portion of that period.

4. Payment for Expert Services

• Expert Services and Payments: When a mom wants to engage the services of an expert, the expert will provide a price for the services via the chat/messaging feature within the App. Once the price is confirmed, the mom can make full payment via the "pay" button within the App.

• Processing of Payments: All payments made for expert services will be processed through Stripe. The full payment made by the mom will be transferred to the Company’s account.

• Expert Compensation: At the end of each week, the Company will remit 80% of the total payments received from moms for expert services back to the expert. The remaining 20% of the payments will be retained by the Company as a service fee.

• Responsibility for Disputes: The Company acts solely as a payment facilitator and is not responsible for the quality or outcome of the services provided by the expert. Any disputes regarding services must be resolved between the mom and the expert. The Company will not mediate disputes and retains the 20% fee even in the event of such disputes.

5. Communication and Contact Information

• In-App Communication and Payments: All communication between moms and experts, including the negotiation of services and pricing, must take place through the messaging feature within the App. Payments for expert services must also be processed through the App's payment system.

• Sharing of Contact Information: Sharing personal contact information, including but not limited to email addresses, phone numbers, or other methods of direct communication, is strictly prohibited unless necessary for the provision of expert services. If sharing such information is required as part of the service (e.g., for consultation scheduling or service delivery), it must be done with caution and only for the intended purpose. Outside of such necessity, all communications must remain within the App.

• Prohibited Direct Payments: Direct payments or transactions between moms and experts outside of the App's payment system are not permitted. All payments for services must go through the App's designated payment system to ensure proper processing, record-keeping, and the application of the Company's service fee.

6. User Conduct

• Prohibited Activities: You agree not to use the App for any unlawful purpose or in a way that infringes the rights of others. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, spamming, harassment, impersonation, and sharing inappropriate content.

• Content Ownership: You retain ownership of the content you post on Clustr. By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display your content in connection with the operation of the App.

7. Experts

• Independent Experts: Experts are independent professionals who provide personalized support to individuals. We do not endorse or verify the qualifications of experts. You acknowledge that interactions with experts are at your own risk. We are not responsible for any advice or services provided by experts or for any disputes that may arise between you and any expert.

• Service Fees: Experts set their own fees for services provided through the App. Payments for expert services are subject to the 20% service fee retained by the Company.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the App.

• Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid us, if any, for using the App.
