Payment Processing

Talent Share Corporation ("TSC") utilizes third-party payment processors, payment gateways, banking partners, and financial institutions (collectively, "Payment Processors") to facilitate payments, refunds, payouts, and other financial transactions on the Platform.

By using the Platform, users agree to comply with the applicable terms, conditions, policies, and requirements of TSC's Payment Processors.

TSC does not directly store complete payment card information and is not responsible for the performance, availability, security, errors, delays, interruptions, or actions of any Payment Processor.

Users authorize TSC and its Payment Processors to charge, debit, credit, refund, reverse, hold, or otherwise process transactions in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law.

Authorization to Charge

• They are authorized to use the selected payment method;
• The payment information provided is accurate and current;
• Sufficient funds or credit are available to complete the transaction; and
• They authorize TSC and its Payment Processors to charge all applicable fees, taxes, service charges, adjustments, refunds, penalties, and other amounts arising from use of the Platform.

Failed Payments

If a payment is declined, reversed, rejected, disputed, refunded, charged back, or otherwise fails for any reason:

• TSC may suspend or cancel the related enrollment;
• TSC may suspend access to programs or Platform services;
• TSC may recover amounts owed through alternative payment methods on file where legally permitted;
• TSC may require payment before restoring account access; and

Prior to initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, bank dispute, credit card dispute, or similar claim with a financial institution or Payment Processor, users agree to first contact TSC and provide a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve the issue.

TSC encourages users to utilize the Platform's dispute resolution and refund procedures before seeking a chargeback through their financial institution.

Investigation of Chargebacks

In the event of a chargeback, dispute, reversal, or payment investigation, TSC may provide relevant information to the applicable Payment Processor, card network, financial institution, arbitration body, or governmental authority, including:

• Enrollment records;
• Transaction history;
• Program attendance records;
• Login records;
• IP address information;
• Communications between users;
• Refund history;
• Terms accepted by the user; and
• Any other evidence relevant to the transaction.

Users expressly authorize TSC to use such information for dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and legal compliance purposes.

Fraudulent or Abusive Chargebacks

A chargeback may be considered fraudulent or abusive if a user:

• Files a chargeback after receiving the purchased services;
• Files repeated chargebacks without reasonable basis;
• Attempts to avoid valid payment obligations;
• Misrepresents facts relating to a transaction; or
• Uses a chargeback process as a substitute for TSC's refund procedures.

If TSC determines that a chargeback was fraudulent, abusive, or made in bad faith, TSC may:

• Suspend or terminate the user's account;
• Restrict future use of the Platform;
• Recover chargeback amounts, fees, and administrative costs;
• Offset future payments or refunds;
• Refer the matter for collection; and
• Pursue any remedies available under applicable law.

Chargeback Fees and Recovery

Where permitted by applicable law, users shall be responsible for reimbursing TSC for:

• Chargeback amounts;
• Payment Processor penalties;
• Bank fees;
• Administrative costs;
• Collection costs; and
• Reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with recovery efforts.

TSC may deduct such amounts from future payments, refunds, account balances, or amounts otherwise payable to the user.

Provider Payment Holds

TSC reserves the right to temporarily withhold, delay, reserve, or adjust payments owed to Talent Providers when reasonably necessary to:

• Investigate suspected fraud;
• Resolve customer complaints or disputes;
• Process chargebacks or refunds;
• Verify program completion;
• Comply with legal or regulatory obligations;
• Assess financial risk; or
• Protect the Platform and its users.

Such holds may remain in effect until TSC determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the matter has been resolved.

Refunds Processed Through Payment Processors

Approved refunds shall be processed through the original payment method whenever reasonably possible. Actual receipt of refunded funds depends upon the policies and processing timelines of the applicable Payment Processor and financial institution.

TSC shall not be responsible for delays caused by banks, credit card issuers, payment networks, or Payment Processors.

No Liability for Payment Processor Actions

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TSC shall not be liable for any loss, damage, delay, failed transaction, processing error, account limitation, fund hold, payment reversal, or other action taken by a Payment Processor, financial institution, credit card issuer, or payment network.
