Genwise Client Terms of Use
These Genwise Client Agreement ("GCA") are in addition to the Genwise General Terms of Use and apply to paying Clients of Genwise Studio.
1. Genwise Services: Description of Studio, Platform, and Matching Services
Genwise Inc. ("Genwise" or "we") provides (a) a studio for founders and businesses to support operations and facilitate company growth and the execution of company objectives, (b) a business software and services integration platform environment and (c) a network ("Network") of vetted business partners who offer business and technological services, products, and support (each a "Business Partner" and the services they provide, the "Business Partner Services"). The "Matching Services'' involve using any and all features, functions, and Content of the Platform that enable Clients to identify, review, contact, and otherwise take steps to engage a Business Partner, as well as Genwise's work in assisting you ("you" or "Client") in identifying, reviewing, contacting, and taking steps to engage a Business Partner. Nothing in this GCA obligates: (1) you to engage any particular Business Partner for any work, (2) Genwise to provide you or any Client with Matching Services, or (3) Genwise to identify a Business Partner for your particular needs.
1.1 Description of Genwise Resources. As a Genwise Studio Client, you will receive access to the following: (a) an integrated, customizable, workspace and business dashboard OS powered by Notion, a third-party software with separate terms of use and privacy policy, which you must create an account for and accept in order to gain access, (b) business operational services and mentoring provided by Genwise and its affiliates as further outlined in your specific Genwise Proposal, which is incorporated herein by reference, (c) the Matching Services and access to the Network of vetted Genwise Business Partners for a range of services and products (collectively, a), b) and c), the "Genwise Resources").
1.2 Description of Integration Services. Additionally, as a Genwise Studio Client, Genwise provides you integrated, unitary billing such that you receive one invoice for all Business Partner Services. Upon receipt of your monthly Business Partner Services invoice, you will have 7 calendar days to pay such invoice in full to Genwise for further payment to our Business Partners. Should you fail to pay such bills when due, your services may be suspended until paid. If you dispute all or any portion of such invoice, you must notify Genwise in writing of such dispute in detail, including a detailed reason for such dispute, and pay any undisputed portion of the invoice.
1.3 Genwise Studio Fees. As a Genwise Studio Client, in exchange for receiving the Genwise Resources, you shall be billed monthly on a recurring basis, payable in advance for the succeeding month until terminated or suspended at the rate provided in your Genwise Proposal (the "Genwise Studio Fees"). In order to terminate your relationship as a Genwise Studio Client, you must provide Genwise written notice of such termination in writing prior to the billing date in the next billing cycle. There are no refunds for Genwise Studio Fees.
1.4 Genwise Third-Party Fees. You acknowledge and agree that Genwise may pay referral fees to third-party referrers upon your execution of this Agreement if you were referred to us from such referral partners. You are not responsible for these fees and your costs, including Genwise Studio Fees, are not increased by these fees. Genwise carefully vets third-party service providers and Business Partners that it may refer to you from time to time. You also acknowledge that Genwise may earn commissions or other fees of up to 20% paid to Genwise from such third party partners or Business Partners on fees paid by you to third-party service providers that you engage through the Genwise Studio. You are under no obligation to use any third-party service providers that Genwise may refer to you.
