Unless a specific provision specifically refers to either Presenters or Users, all provisions of this Agreement apply to both Speakers and Users.

You acknowledge and agree that Company is a technology services provider that does not provide speaking services.

By accessing or using any of the eSpeakers Services, you agree to the terms and conditions that are set forth below. If you are acting on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity and that there are no conditions or circumstances that prevent the formation of this Agreement and the enforceability of this Agreement upon you and your company or other entity.

2. Use of the eSpeakers Services

2.1 IDs. Your Presenter or User ID will enable you to access and use the eSpeakers Platform in accordance with this Agreement. You are solely responsible for the use and security of your Speaker or User ID.
2.2 Provision of Speaking Services. Presenters agree to access the eSpeakers Platform as often as necessary to keep your availability calendar up-to-date. It is critical that the calendar reflect Presenters’ current availability in order to process booking requests. When the eSpeakers Platform is active, User requests for speaking services will appear to Presenters via the eSpeakers Platform on dates in which Presenters have indicated they are available. Presenters may not get a substitute to provide any speaking services. Once a User makes a booking for a Presenter to provide speaking services, the eSpeakers Platform will provide the Presenter with certain User Information via the eSpeakers Platform, including the User’s name and requested meeting location and time, as well as any requests for specific speaking services from the User. The User may also make specific requests at the time the speaking services are rendered. Presenters acknowledge and agree that once they have accepted a User’s request for speaking services, the eSpeakers Platform will provide certain information about the Presenters to the User. As between Company and you, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) you shall be solely responsible for determining the most effective, efficient and safe manner to perform and receive all speaking services; provided that you shall comply with the Presenter and User Code of Conduct generally accepted in the industry.
2.3 Your Relationship with Users. You acknowledge and agree that you will enter into a separate agreement with Presenters or Users governing the relationship between Presenter and User. Company is not responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of a Presenter or User in relation to your activities. You shall have the sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to other parties that arise from your agreements with such parties. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for taking such precautions as may be reasonable and proper (including maintaining adequate insurance that meets the requirements of all applicable laws) regarding any acts or omissions of a third party. You acknowledge and agree that Company may release your contact information to a User or Presenter upon such User’s or Presenter’s reasonable request.
2.4 Your Relationship with Company. You acknowledge and agree that Company’s provision to you of the eSpeakers Services creates a direct business relationship between Company and you as independent contractors, and not an employment relationship. You agree to abide by the terms of the Presenters and Users Code of Conducted referenced above, but no joint venture, partnership, or other agency relationship exists between you or Company. Company does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under this Agreement specifically, including in connection with your provision or use of speaking services or your acts or omissions. You retain the sole right to determine when and for how long you will utilize the eSpeakers Services. You retain the option, via the eSpeakers Platform, to control when you book speaking services or make yourself available for bookings, but you must comply with Company’s then-current cancellation policies set forth in the Presenters and Users Code of Conduct. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion to book or provide services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities. For the sake of clarity, you understand that you retain the complete right to; (i) use other software application services in addition to the eSpeakers Services; and (ii) engage in any other occupation or business. Company retains the right to, at any time at Company’s sole discretion, deactivate or otherwise restrict you from accessing or using the eSpeakers Services in the event of a violation of this Agreement, your disparagement of Company, your act or omission that causes harm to Company’s brand, reputation or business as determined by Company in its sole discretion, or for any other reason at the reasonable discretion of Company.

You shall provide your ratings and feedback in good faith and agree that Company has no liability with respect to comments or feedback left by Users or Presenters.
2.5.2 You acknowledge that Company’s intention is for all Presenters and Users to have access to high-quality services via the eSpeakers Platform. In order to continue to receive access to the eSpeakers Platform and the other eSpeakers Services, you must maintain an average rating by Presenters or Users that exceeds the minimum average acceptable rating established by Company, as may be updated from time to time by Company in its sole discretion (“Minimum Average Rating”). If your average rating falls below the Minimum Average Rating, Company will notify you and may provide you, in Company’s discretion, a limited period of time to raise your average rating above the Minimum Average Rating. If you do not increase your average rating above the Minimum Average Rating within the time period allowed (if any), Company reserves the right to deactivate your access to the eSpeakers Platform and the eSpeakers Services.
2.5.3 Company reserves the right to use, share and display Presenter and User ratings and comments in any manner in connection with the business of Company without compensation and without attribution to you or your approval. You acknowledge and agree that Company is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of Presenter and User ratings and comments, provided that Company reserves the right to edit or remove comments in the event that such comments include obscenities or other objectionable content, include an individual’s name or other personal information, or violate any privacy laws, other applicable laws, or Company’s content policies.

3. You and Your Obligations

3.1 Your Requirements. Presenters acknowledge and agree that at all times, you shall possess the appropriate and current level of training, expertise and experience to provide speaking services in a professional manner with due skill, care and diligence. Presenters shall also maintain high standards of professionalism, service and courtesy. Presenters acknowledge and agree that you may be subject to certain background and other record checks from time to time in order to qualify to provide, and remain eligible to provide, speaking services. Presenters acknowledge and agree that Company reserves the right, at any time in Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to deactivate or otherwise restrict you from accessing or using the eSpeakers Services if you fail to meet the requirements set forth in this Agreement.
3.2 Documentation. Statements Presenters make regarding their qualifications and expertise are expected to be true. In the event of any 3rd party claims, Presenters agree that any time to provide written copies of proof of your qualifications, training, experience, or expertise, as relevant to your area of specialization.
3.3 Continuing Relationship. Presenters acknowledge and agree that your obligation to use the eSpeakers Services to serve Users, as well as any individuals they may refer to you, shall be continuing. After a User’s initial use of the speaking services, then subsequent uses of the speaking services by Presenters and Users and referrals shall be processed through the eSpeakers Platform, and Presenter shall not in any manner attempt to circumvent the payment of Fees by accepting payment outside of the eSpeakers Platform. If Company learns a Presenter is breaching this provision, it may immediately terminate this Agreement and obtain compensation for services rendered as if you had used the eSpeakers Platform to obtain those services, as well as any additional remedies provided by law.

4. Financial Terms

4.1 Service Fee. Presenters are entitled to charge a fee for each instance of speaking services provided to a User that are obtained via the eSpeakers Services (“Service Fee”). The Service Fee shall be agreed between Presenters and Users under separate agreement, which Service Fees may be paid in one or more installments. All Service Fees shall be received by Company either using the eSpeakers Platform, or by any other method or format reasonably agreed between the parties. Company makes available the eSpeakers Platform and other collection efforts only as a convenient method for the parties to facilitate payment, and Company shall have no obligation to attempt to collect any Service Fees that are not paid in the normal course. The parties do hereby assume all obligations with respect to the payment and collection of Service Fees.
4.2 Company Fee. Presenters agree to pay to Company a fee calculated as a percentage of the Service Fee (“Company Fee”). The Company Fee’s percentage shall be the amount agreed between the parties, either on the eSpeakers Platform or through separate agreement, if applicable. The Company Fee shall not be charged on any expense reimbursed by a User in connection with the speaking services. Presenters shall also be responsible for any credit card or other payment processing fees payable by Company, which currently are 2.9% of the total charged for credit cards, or $10.00 per event for eCheck or paper check (“Payment Processing Fees”). Company may deduct the Company Fee and applicable Credit Card Fees from the Service Fee before transmission of the balance to Presenter. Presenters shall be responsible for all applicable taxes upon the Service Fee, other than for taxes based on the income of Company. Your payment of the Company Fee shall be due in advance when any payments are made. If payment of the Company Fee is late, you agree to pay an additional interest charge in the amount of 1.5% per month on the overdue balance. Payments collected from Users will be deposited to Presenter’s bank account within 10 business days of receipt from the User. You agree that your failure to perform Services for User for any reason not considered force majeure does relieve you of owing the Company Fee.
4.3 Payment Authorization. You hereby authorize Company to collect the Service Fee and to deduct the Company Fee therefrom before rendering the balance to Presenter. Company intends to use a third-party provider to collect credit card and eCheck payments, and you authorize the charges necessary to implement the payment provisions contained in this Section 4. This authorization continues until payment in full of the Service Fee, including if the Service Fee is paid in more than one installment.
