Listings
You (as an Expert) will generate a Listing to offer your services to other Members. To this end, you may need to provide information regarding the expertise you offer as well as pricing, your available time schedule, and other financial terms applicable to your offering. Listing will be made publicly available via the Application, Platform and/or Services.
Clients will be able to schedule an Appointment with you via the Application, Platform and/or Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Client requests an Appointment, the price quoted under your Listing may not be altered. Once a Client requests an Appointment by selecting one or more time slots that you made appear available on the Application, you (as an Expert) will be deemed to confirm your acceptance of such Appointment request immediately upon the Client’s request.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your Listing. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that your Listing and the agreements you enter into with Client (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) will (a) comply with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to you and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.

By using the Application, Platform or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from Xpersity with respect to such actions or omissions.
Appointments and Financial Terms
Appointments and Financial Terms for Experts: If you (as an Expert) have received an Appointment request from a Member for a time slot you have made available on your Listing, the request is deemed accepted by you unless you contact Xpersity to request rejection of the request 48 hours (as determined by Xpersity in its sole discretion). As an Expert, you may also receive an Appointment request including a long-term consulting project from a Member via an Xpersity administrator for time slot(s) that you have not made available on your Listing. When an Appointment is requested with you via the Xpersity administrator, you will be required to either confirm or reject the request within 24 hours or the request will be automatically cancelled. In case that an Appointment is requested through the Xpersity administrator, we will share with you information that the Client who has requested the Appointment has agree to share, so that you can view this information before confirming or rejecting the Appointment. When you confirm an Appointment request, Xpersity will send you an email, calendar invitation and/or notification message via the Application confirming such booking.
The amount due and payable by a Seeker relating to Appointment time with you is referred to as an “Appointment Fee”. Appointment Fees are quoted in each Listing, in U.S. dollars and in a price per minute format (the “Appointment Fee Rate”). Please note that it is Experts, and not Xpersity, which set all Appointment Fee Rates.
In consideration of the Services, Xpersity charges you a fee (the “Service Fee”) based on a percentage of Appointment Fees collected on your behalf. The current applicable percentage is twenty percent (20%). The Service Fee is deducted from the Appointment Fee payable to you in respect of an Appointment. After deducting the applicable Service Fee, Xpersity remits the balance of the Appointment Fee to you via its third party provider or via the Application, in U.S. dollars. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.
Appointments and Financial Terms for Clients
You (as a Client), not Xpersity, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed Appointments. If you choose to enter into a transaction with an Expert by scheduling an Appointment via the Application or Platform, these Terms and other terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Appointment as set out in the Listing may apply. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Xpersity, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, and Xpersity is not a party to such agreements and disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.
You agree to pay Xpersity all Appointment Fees due in connection with any Appointment. In order to initiate an Appointment, you understand and agree that Xpersity reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to obtain a pre-authorization of your credit card, Paypal account or other payment methods, and/or charge your credit card, Paypal account or other payment methods a nominal amount, not to exceed one U.S. dollar ($1), in order to verify your credit card, Paypal account or other payment methods. At the end of each Appointment, Xpersity will process and collect the Appointment Fees payable in accordance with these Terms and the terms of the Listing. Please note that Xpersity cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Member by his or her bank related to Xpersity’s collection of the Appointment Fees, and Xpersity disclaims all liability in this regard.
In connection with your payment, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address, credit card information, Paypal account information and/or other payment method related information either to Xpersity or its third party payment processor. You agree to pay Xpersity for any consummated Appointments in accordance with these Terms, by one of the methods described on the Application or Platform. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card, Paypal account or other payment methods provided as part of requesting the Appointment, either directly by Xpersity or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Application or Platform. If you are directed to Xpersity’s third party payment processor, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email, online calendar invitation and/or notification message in the Application summarizing your confirmed Appointment.
General Financial Terms

Feedback and Reporting Misconduct
We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Application, Platform and Services (“Feedback”). You may submit Feedback by emailing us at support@xpersity.co. You acknowledge and agree that all Feedback will be the sole and exclusive property of Xpersity and you hereby irrevocably assign to Xpersity and agree to irrevocably assign to Xpersity all of your right, title, and interest in and to all Feedback, including without limitation all worldwide patent, copyright, trade secret, moral and other proprietary or intellectual property rights therein. At Xpersity’s request and expense, you will execute documents and take such further acts as Xpersity may reasonably request to assist Xpersity to acquire, perfect, and maintain its intellectual property rights and other legal protections for the Feedback.
In addition, If you feel any user is acting or has acted inappropriately, including but not limited to, anyone who (i) engages in offensive, violent or sexually inappropriate behavior, (ii) you suspect of fraud, or (iii) engages in any other disturbing conduct, you should immediately report such person to the appropriate authorities and to Xpersity.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Xpersity’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Xpersity may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Notices
Unless otherwise specified herein, any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by Xpersity (i) via email (in each case to the email address that you provide) or (ii) via the Application or by posting to to the Platform. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Controlling Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Singapore, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Severability
These Terms are intended to govern the agreement between Xpersity and you to the extent permitted by all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. If any provision of these Terms or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, for any reason or to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Dispute Resolution
You and Xpersity agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Application or Platform (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and Xpersity are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Xpersity otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (the “SIAC Rules”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be in Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of 3 arbitrator(s). The language of the arbitration shall be English.
Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Xpersity and you regarding the Application, Platform, Services, Collective Content and any Appointments or Listings made via the Application, Platform and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Xpersity and you regarding the same.
General
The failure of Xpersity to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Xpersity. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
