If a dispute occurs, Members may wish to screenshot chat and include it in their evidence for any complaints or moderation. This is the only way Club Collab may see previous chats as chats are considered private.
 
  • 2. The chat features include, active statuses (active now, active 2h ago etc), Members can send files and photos to each other and each chat is linked to a collaboration.
 
  • All Members and Website users are bound by the Club Collab Code of Conduct which is Annexure 1 to these Terms & Conditions and can be found at:
  • 4. There are three different stages of a collaboration which are managed via the chat:
 
  1. “prospect” meaning there has been no agreement between the users yet,
  2. “active” meaning the Brand has initiated the start of a collaboration and it is in process; and
  • “completed” which means the collaboration has been completed. These processes are managed through the chat.
  1. Payment Process and Dispute Resolution between Members
  • 1. Club Collab uses Stripe as the safe payment gateway between users, although we have integrated our own process on the app and website to make it function properly.
  • 2. The process begins with the Brand initiating the start of a collaboration. This is a button found in the messages between the users. Once the Brand states how much the collaboration is worth they send the request to the other user (Influencer). Then, once the Influencer accepts it the payment is withdrawn from the Brands card that they have linked to their account and held as “pending” until the collaboration has been completed.
  • 3. In order to have the funds released into the Influencers CollabWallet, the Influencer must click “complete collaboration” which is found in the messages. The Brand will receive this request and if they select “complete” the funds will be released to the Influencer.
  • 4. Once the Influencer has selected “complete collaboration” the Brand has three days to respond, or funds get automatically transferred to the Influencers account. If the Brand selects “decline” a depute will occur, there are two levels of dispute, the first level is for the users to discuss the dispute and come to an agreement on their own terms, if this is unsuccessful any user can take the dispute further and it will be handled by our support team. Level two escalation cannot proceed without level one first being attempted by the parties,
  • 5. If the dispute gets escalated to the Club Collab Resolution Centre, there can be one of three outcomes:
 
  1. approve dispute (Influencer will not get paid for the job); or
  2. reject dispute (Influencer will receive 100% of the job amount); or
  3. partially approve the claim (Influencer will receive 50% of the job amount).
 
  • 6. Once the Club Collab Resolution Centre has made a decision, the decision is final and cannot be argued or appealed further.
  • 7. The dispute is submitted with comments and attached photos from the users for our team to make the most appropriate decision. Once Brand selects “accept” and funds are released, the Brand cannot request a refund or retrieve funds.
 
  • 8. All paid collaborations will conclude of payment receipts being sent to both users once complete
  • 9. Once a Brand has initiated a dispute, the Influencer has 3 days to respond before it is escalated to Club Collab resolution centre
  • 10. By Club Collab offering the Services to you, you agree that:
  • After the Services are rendered by the Influencer, the Brand will click ‘complete collaboration’ to have the funds released into the CollabWallet;
  • The Brand will have 3 days to respond until the funds are automatically transferred to the Influencer’s account; and;
  • The Brand is able to dispute the transaction by clicking on ‘decline’.
    • 11. All payments made in the course of your use of the Services are made using Stripe. In using the Website, the Services or when making any payment concerning your use of the Services, you warrant that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by the Stripe terms and conditions which are available on their website.

The Subscription fees are subject to change from time to time without notice.
 
  1. Cancelling of Collaboration payments:
 
  • 1. Club Collab offers recurring payments, when a Brand creates a collaboration ad, they set payment type, once off, weekly or monthly. This will be automatically debited from the Brand’s card to the Influencers CollabWallet on a recurring basis. These payments can be cancelled by either Influencers or Brands, and if the payment is cancelled these are the set outcomes:
 
  • 2. ONCE OFF PAYMENTS:

  • 1. Once an agency has created a Club Collab profile, they can search their client in our database and request to link that Influencer profile to their account. Their client must already have a Club Collab account in order to show up in the search.
  • 2. Once the Influencer accepts the link, their profile will now be managed by that agency, the Influencer will only have access to editing their own profile, and they will not be able to apply for any collaborations or message Brands whilst linked to an agency.
  • 3. If an agency completes a paid collaboration on behalf of an Influencer, the payment will go into the agencies CollabWallet, and agencies will receive all payments from Brands in respect of their Influencer.

  1. Refund Policy
  • 1. The Subscription fees are non-refundable and may only be refunded in exceptional circumstances at the complete discretion of Club Collab, whose decision will be final and binding.
  • 2. Once the funds are released to the Influencer, the Brand will not be able to request a refund via Club Collab and will need to deal directly with the Influencer.
  • 3. Since Club Collab is only a facilitator in introducing the Brand to the Influencer and providing a system to make a safe payment, Club Collab does not hold any liability to the Brand directly and will not refund any payments made in the use of Services. Notwithstanding the above clause, if a Brand is unsatisfied with the services provided by the Influencer or believes that they may be entitled to a refund, then Bizfluence requires the Brand to:
contact the Influencer directly to request a refund; and If contacting the Influencer is not successful after fourteen (14) days, contact Bizfluence  through the 'Contact Us' section of the Website outlining why you believe you are entitled to a refund so we can determine if the Influencer should be removed from the Services. If contacted by a Brand who is requesting a refund pursuant to the above clause, the Influencer agrees that it will immediately: complete the Bizfluence refund request form (the 'Request Form') provided on the Website; and provide both the Request Form and the email from the Brand requesting the refund to Bizfluence. If the Influencer agrees to a refund it is acknowledged that the Influencer will instruct Bizfluence to refund all or part of the payments made to the Brand directly, less any fees incurred by Bizfluence in processing the refund.
