The mentors are independent providers, and MentorGuia does not control the content of their programs nor is it responsible for any advice or services rendered by mentors.

    Financial Arrangement: Payments made by Clients are processed through our payment processor (e.g., Stripe). A service fee is applied to each transaction to support the operation of the MentorGuia.com platform, with the remaining funds disbursed to the respective mentor. Clients must provide accurate billing information.

  5. Payment Processing

    Payments are processed through Stripe. By making a payment, you agree to abide by these Terms and Stripe’s applicable terms and conditions. Although we may use data (such as billing addresses or IP information) to help determine your location, you acknowledge that our current systems may not be 100% accurate. Your representation regarding your geographic location is a material term of your use of the Site.

  14. Refund and Cancellation Policy

    Cancellation Method: All appointment cancellations must be initiated via the user dashboard. Each scheduled appointment will be displayed with a "Join" and a "Cancel" button. By clicking the "Cancel" button, the appointment is immediately cancelled, and an automatic notification will be sent to both the client and the mentor.

    Mentor Cancellation: If a mentor cancels an appointment, a full refund (100%) will be issued to the client. The mentor should use the dashboard cancellation feature (or contact support if needed) to ensure the client is promptly notified.

    Client Cancellation: If a client cancels an appointment via the dashboard, the refund will depend on the time remaining until the scheduled appointment:

    • - More than 24 hours before the appointment: A 90% refund for multiple sessions or a 95% refund for a single session.
    • - Between 12 and 24 hours before the appointment: A 60% refund.
    • - Less than 12 hours before the appointment: A 30% refund (late cancellation fee applies).

    No-Show Policy: In the event of a no-show (failure to appear without prior cancellation):

    • - If the mentor does not show up, a full refund will be issued to the client.
    • - If the client does not show up, no refund will be issued.

    Appointment Start Time: Once an appointment has commenced, cancellations are not permitted and no refunds will be issued.

    By scheduling an appointment on MentorGuia.com, both mentors and clients acknowledge and agree to these refund and cancellation terms.
