If you provide students an access code to create an account, you represent and warrant that you have provided appropriate disclosures to the school and to parents regarding our use of student personal information. Both parties agree to uphold their obligations under FERPA. You agree to comply with these Terms and all laws and regulations governing the protection of personal information, including children’s information, and to notify us of any changes in your specific jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise specified by the school, Time2Talk will retain personal information only as long as is needed to deliver school-based services to each student, but no longer than five (5) years. You may request that we delete student personal information in our possession at any time or return it by providing such a request in writing. We will respond to these requests as soon as possible, but in most instances within 45 days.
4. Fees and Payment.
4.1 Student Fees. You understand that use of the Services as a Student may result in charges to you for the services you receive (the “Student Fees“). We will receive and/or enable your payment of the applicable Student Fees for services obtained through your use of the Services. The Student Fees will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. The Student Fees applicable to you are set forth when you sign up for your Account, or when you elect a Service, and may be amended by us, from time to time, in our sole discretion and with advance notice to you. The Student Fees comprise of a connection fee for initiating a Session (the “Connection Fee”) and a time-based fee determined by our current per minute rate (the “Minute Fee”). Where a Student initiates a Session that never connects or is cutoff in less than two minutes, at no fault of the Student, no Student Fees shall be assessed. Where a Student initiates a Session that is cutoff between two minutes and five minutes, at no fault of the Student, the Student will incur a Minute Fee, but any Connection Fee will be waived. Where a call exceeds five minutes, the Student will incur both a Connection Fee and a Minute Fee, irrespective of how or why the call eventually terminates.
All Student Fees and payments will be enabled by us using the preferred payment method designated in your Account. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that we may use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available. Student Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by us.
4.2 Coaching Fees. Coaches will earn Coaching Fees (the “Coaching Fees”) for conducting Sessions with Students. Coaching Fees are based on how many minutes a Coach logs in Sessions with Students, and may range based on a variety of factors, determined in Time2Talk’s sole discretion, including availability, reviews, experience.
Time2Talk shall not withhold, nor be held liable for, Federal or state payroll taxes, including but not limited to Federal Withholding Tax, Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), any state unemployment or similar taxes of any nature. If required by applicable law, regulation or rule, Time2Talk shall report all compensation paid to the Coach under this Agreement to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and any applicable state and local taxing authorities at the end of each calendar year.
All payments of Coaching Fees will be enabled by us using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which you will receive a confirmation of payment by email. Time2Talk shall pay Coaches in accordance with its standard processes and timing that it utilizes for the payment of all of its independent contractors, which is typically once per calendar month, for the Coaching Fees earned during the previous calendar month. Time2Talk reserves the sole and exclusive right to reasonably amend the schedule according to which it pays Coaches.
4.3 Third Party Payment Processor. All financial transactions made in connection with the Services will be processed by a third party in accordance with their respective terms of use, privacy policy, and/or any applicable payment terms and conditions.

In no event will we be responsible for the actions or inactions of any third party payment processor, including, but not limited to, system downtime or payment service outages.
As between you and us, we reserve the right to establish, remove and/or revise Student Fees or Coaching Fees for any or all services obtained through the use of the Services at any time in our sole discretion.
