Electronic Check (E-Check) Payments Policy

Electronic Check (eCheck) Payments

Talent Share Corporation ("Talent Share," "we," "our," or "us") may, at its sole discretion, issue payments to eligible Talent Providers, users, affiliates, partners, vendors, or other authorized payees in the form of an Electronic Check ("eCheck"). An eCheck is an electronic representation of a paper check that may be delivered electronically, including via email or through a secure online payment portal.

By using the Platform and accepting payment via eCheck, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

1. Authorization to Receive eChecks

You authorize Talent Share to transmit eChecks electronically to the email address associated with your Talent Share account or to any other email address that you have designated in writing. You are responsible for ensuring that your contact information remains accurate, current, and secure.

2. Secure Delivery

Talent Share may deliver eChecks through secure email, encrypted electronic delivery systems, or third-party payment providers. Once an eCheck has been successfully transmitted to the email address provided by you, the payment shall be deemed delivered, regardless of whether you access, open, download, or print the eCheck.

3. Responsibility for Email Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your email account and electronic devices. Talent Share shall not be liable for any unauthorized access, interception, theft, alteration, forwarding, phishing attacks, malware, or fraudulent use of an eCheck resulting from your failure to adequately secure your email account or devices.

4. Deposit of eChecks

Recipients are responsible for depositing eChecks in accordance with the policies and procedures of their financial institution. Acceptance of eChecks is determined solely by your bank or financial institution. Talent Share does not guarantee that every financial institution will accept electronic or printed eChecks.

5. Payment Completion

An eCheck shall not be considered completed until the funds have been successfully cleared through the applicable banking system. Talent Share reserves the right to cancel, replace, void, or reissue an eCheck if fraud, technical errors, duplicate issuance, banking irregularities, legal requirements, or other legitimate business reasons require such action.

6. Expiration of eChecks

Unless otherwise stated on the eCheck or required by applicable law, eChecks may expire after the validity period specified by the issuing financial institution or payment processor. Expired eChecks may not be honored. Requests for reissuance may be subject to identity verification and applicable administrative fees.

7. Returned or Failed Payments

If an eCheck is returned, rejected, cannot be processed, or cannot be delivered because of inaccurate information, an inactive email address, banking restrictions, or any reason outside Talent Share's reasonable control, Talent Share may delay, cancel, or reissue the payment after appropriate verification. Talent Share may require updated payment information before issuing a replacement payment.

8. Third-Party Payment Providers

Talent Share may utilize one or more independent payment processors, banks, financial institutions, or electronic payment service providers to generate, process, transmit, and manage eCheck payments. Such providers operate under their own terms, conditions, privacy policies, security procedures, and regulatory obligations. Talent Share is not responsible for the actions, delays, outages, errors, or failures of any third-party payment provider.

9. Fraud Prevention

Talent Share reserves the right to delay, suspend, investigate, reverse, or withhold any eCheck payment if it reasonably suspects fraud, identity theft, unauthorized activity, money laundering, sanctions violations, compliance concerns, duplicate payment requests, account compromise, or any activity that may violate applicable law or these Terms.

10. Taxes

Recipients are solely responsible for determining and paying all applicable federal, state, local, and international taxes associated with payments received through Talent Share. Issuance of an eCheck does not alter your tax obligations.

11. No Liability for Banking Delays

Talent Share shall not be responsible for delays caused by banking systems, financial institutions, payment processors, clearing houses, internet outages, technical failures, email delivery delays, spam filtering, or other circumstances beyond Talent Share's reasonable control.

12. User Verification

Talent Share may require identity verification, tax documentation, banking verification, proof of ownership of an email account, or other information before issuing or reissuing an eCheck. Failure to provide requested documentation may result in delayed or withheld payments.

13. Administrative Fees

Talent Share reserves the right to charge reasonable administrative fees for replacement eChecks, canceled eChecks, stop-payment requests, duplicate payment requests, returned payments, or payments requiring additional manual processing, where permitted by applicable law.

14. Compliance with Laws

All eCheck transactions are subject to applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, fraud prevention, banking, tax reporting, and payment network requirements. Talent Share reserves the right to refuse or delay any payment to ensure legal and regulatory compliance.

15. Modification of Payment Methods

Talent Share may change, discontinue, or replace any available payment method, including eChecks, at any time without prior notice. Talent Share may require recipients to use an alternative payment method if necessary for operational, legal, compliance, security, or business reasons.

16. Acceptance of Electronic Payments

By accepting an eCheck or any electronic payment issued through Talent Share, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Electronic Check Payment Terms, which form an integral part of the Talent Share Terms of Service and all related agreements governing your use of the Platform.
