Thank you for using Career Navig8r!

These Terms of Service for European Users (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Career Navig8r that govern your use of the websites, applications, and other oﬀerings from Career Navig8r (collectively, the “Career Navig8r Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Career Navig8r,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Career Navig8r entity set out on Schedule 1 with whom you are contracting.

The Career Navig8r Platform oﬀers an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, oﬀer, search for, and book services. Members who publish and oﬀer services are “Mentors” (Navig8rs) and Members who search for, book, or use services are “Mentees.” Mentors oﬀer “Mentor Services”. You must register an account to access and use many features of the Career Navig8r Platform, and must keep your account information accurate. As the provider of the Career Navig8r Platform, Career Navig8r does not own, control, oﬀer or manage any Listings or Mentor Services (a listing is made when you create a description of a Job Role you wish to oﬀer Mentoring for, that can be accessed by potential Mentees on the Career Navig8r platform, and oﬀer that service at a specific price). Career Navig8r is not a party to the contracts concluded directly between Mentors and Mentees, nor is Career Navig8r an insurer or an organiser or retailer of mentoring services. Career Navig8r is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms of Service “Payment Terms”). To learn more about Career Navig8r’s role see Section 16.

Mentee Terms

1. Our Mission.

Our mission is to create a communication platform/online meeting place that enables Mentors to oﬀer their Mentoring Services to Mentees. A place where you can browse through hundreds of listings to find the ones that fit your needs. Learn more about a listing by reviewing the description and photos, the Mentor profile, and past Mentee reviews. If you have questions, just message the Mentor.

Career Navig8r provides the Career Navig8r Platform to Members for the purpose of assisting Mentees in securing the services of a Mentor who can credibly guide them on how to get and succeed in their desired Job Role. Or, if you are currently in a role, provide independent support. The Career Navig8r technology platform allows you to search for a potential Mentor by roles they have had or currently hold, and then to further specify your requirement by defining the sector they have expertise in, the organisational level they held the role at, and the Mentor cost per hour. This search will help you find a Mentor capable of supporting you to define a successful path to a desired Job Role, to successfully interview for this Job Role, and then to further excel as you begin it.

2. Searching and Booking on Career Navig8r.

2.1 Searching. You search for Mentor Services by first using the criteria of job role and then further filter these results by Sector, Organisational Level, Language, and price. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity, previous mentor sessions and saved Listings, Mentor requirements and more.

2.2 Booking. When you book a Mentor, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like Career Navig8r’s service fee, oﬄine fees, fee of our Stripe and equivalent (independent payment system used by the Career Navig8r system) and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”).

There are two types of Bookings on Career Navig8r.

A Discovery Meeting, which is a twenty-minute meeting where the Mentor and Mentee decide if they can achieve the Mentees goals through future “Full Meetings”.
A Full Meeting, which is booked in blocks of sixty minutes

A Mentee through the Career Navig8r platform sends a booking request for either meeting type to their chosen Mentor. The Mentor can in turn accept or decline this booking request. By accepting such a request, the Mentor has accepted a contract to oﬀer Mentor Services (sometimes called a booking in these Terms) which is formed directly between Mentee and the Mentor. Simultaneously to this acceptance, the Mentee receives a booking confirmation, for the meeting type they requested, and this in turn sees them now receiving a contract for Mentor Services (sometimes called a booking in these Terms). This is formed directly between Mentee and the Mentor. The cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing, during checkout, and as part of the terms of service form part of your contract with the Mentor.

For the Full Meeting booking type, Career Navig8r reserves the right to immediately deduct the booking fee from the Mentee’s credit card / payment method on submission of the booking request for the amount specified. This amount can only be held for a maximum of 90 days in advance of a meeting due to our payment platforms rules (Stripe). Within this 90-day period the meeting as such needs to occur. When it does, the monies are stored for fourteen days before they are then transferred to the Mentor’s Bank Account unless this period extends beyond the original 90-day period. For example, if the meeting occurred 80 days after the booking request, and said meeting occurs, these funds would be paid to the Mentor 10 days later as per the operating rules of Stripe.

This payment can be refunded through an Arbitration Process set out in point 15 of the Terms of Service which in turn reﬂect the rules for storing monies imposed by Stripe.

In the event that the Mentor declines that meeting then the Career Navig8r booking system will initiate a refund to the Mentee as per the conditions laid out in the Career Navig8r Cancellation Policy. It is the Mentee’s responsibility to provide the correct credit card details and other necessary information to Career Navig8r in order to receive the refund. It is the Mentor’s responsibility to provide the correct Bank Account details to ensure any monies due are paid.
Career Navig8r is not responsible or liable for any incorrect or out of date information provided by either the Mentor or Mentee that result in the refund or payment not being deposited correctly.

2.2.1 Length of Meetings to reflect the potential of Meetings not starting on time

What follows is the explanation as to why “Full Meetings” may not be a full 60 minutes (Full Meeting). This relates to circumstances of the Mentor or Mentee being late to their meeting type, rather than a meeting being shortened for any other reason. By using the Career Navig8r platform you are agreeing to these time reductions occurring and also agreeing that no refund will be made as a result of the meeting times being shortened. What follows is the reason why meetings could be shortened by the system and by what amount they would be shortened. Again, what follows is designed to oﬀset the impact of the Mentor or Mentee being late to a meeting type and preventing this lateness having an impact of seeing consecutive meetings that happen not being cancelled.

“Full Meeting” Time Parameters

Five minutes before this meeting starts both Mentor and Mentee receive an email with a link to join their meeting. This link is also found in both the Mentor’s and Mentee’s Career Navig8r inbox.
For the Link to function correctly, the Mentor and Mentee must be signed into their Career Navig8r account
This link will take both the Mentor and Mentee to the booking request page in Career Navig8r
As the Meeting time arrives, a button that up to this point allows the Mentor or Mentee to cancel the meeting, instead asks them to access the meeting. By pressing this button on their respective pages, both the Mentor and Mentee will enter the meeting’s virtual meeting room. A message will tell both participants if the other person has also arrived. When both parties have arrived, the Mentor’s Join Meeting button will become active and by pressing it, the Video Conferencing will launch. Once this button is pressed by the Mentor, the Mentee’s join now button becomes active and they too can join, at which point the meeting begins.

The Mentee is late – What now?

If a Mentee arrives late, they should still enter the waiting room first (to allow them to adjust their settings if required)
If the Mentor is on time, the “join now” button becomes active, and they should join the full meeting (they are told once joined that the Mentee has not arrived yet). The countdown clock will appear and start counting down from when the Mentor enters the meeting (not from when both people are in the meeting) from 60 minutes.

The Mentor is Late – What Now?

As stated, the Mentee cannot enter the meeting unless the Mentor has joined ahead of them
This means that the Join Now button only appears for the Mentee once the Mentor is in the meeting
If the Mentor arrives into the waiting room late, they will see the clock counting down from the meeting’s start down, with it having started at fifteen minutes
The Mentor can launch the meeting up to 14 minutes 59 seconds have elapsed (as measured by the countdown clock)
Once they enter the meeting, the clock will begin a 55 minutes countdown (or if it is a two-hour meeting – 1 hour and 55 minutes etc.)
Why is the clock starting at 55 minutes rather than the normal 60 minutes?
- By starting at 55 minutes, if the Mentor has another meeting with someone else in the next hour, they will arrive with roughly five minutes to spare so that meeting is not automatically cancelled
- Then that meeting will be 55 minutes and so on until they come to their last meeting
- Fortunately, the following happens with this chain reaction approach
  - Meeting One: Mentee One: Start Time 2pm. Mentor late (2.14.59): Meeting starts at 2.15 for 55 minutes
  - Meeting Two: Mentee Two: Start Time 3pm: Mentor arrives due to the above at 3.10 for 55 minutes
  - Meeting Three: Mentee Three: Start Time 4pm: Mentor arrives at 4.05 for 55 minutes
  - So, the process recorrects by the Mentor ‘s Meeting four, (the Mentor will be on-time)

By using the Career Navig8r system, you are agreeing to the above shortened meetings (five minute loss) with no refund applicable. This said, if the Mentor and Mentee both arrive on time, the meeting will be sixty minutes in length.

Mentor or Mentee Technical or Skill Faults

Career Navig8r has no control over the quality of equipment or software, or the eﬀectiveness of the internet connection that a Mentor or Mentee has access to. As a result, if a meeting cannot be attended by a Mentor or Mentee or is disrupted due to a technical fault Career Navig8r accepts no responsibility for this. It is hoped that in such circumstances, the Mentor will request a full refund (Career Navig8r is not in the position to oﬀer partial refunds) on behalf of the Mentee.
Alternatively, if the fault was that of the Mentor, but they will not oﬀer a refund, the Mentee can ask for Arbitration to be put in place as described in point 15 of this document / the Terms of Service.

PROMOTIONS: Career Navig8r reserves the right to oﬀer discount promotions from time to time up to a maximum of 20% discount. The discount oﬀered to be shared 50/50 by Career Navig8r and the Mentor. However, these discounted rates may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example they may be non-cancellable and non-refundable.

2.4 Bookings for Mentor Services. A Mentor Service booking entitles you to participate in, attend, or use that Mentor Service. You are responsible for confirming that you meet minimum age, proficiency, or other requirements. You are responsible for informing the Mentor of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend or use the Mentor Service. Except where expressly authorised by Career Navig8r, you may not allow any person to join a Mentor Service.

Cancellations and Booking Modifications.

3.1 Cancellations. In general, if you cancel a booking, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that booking. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something outside your control requires you to cancel a booking, you may be entitled to a partial or full refund as outlined in this document. If the Mentor cancels, (as defined in our Cancellation Policy), you may be entitled to a full refund as outlined within this Policy. You may appeal a decision by Career Navig8r by contacting our customer service, (admin@careernavig8r.com).

3.2 Booking Modifications Mentors and Mentees are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Career Navig8r Platform or direct Career Navig8r customer service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts or fees associated with any Booking Modification.

4. Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk.

4.1 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions. For example, this means: you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times.

4.2 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions. For example, this means: you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times.

5.2 Contracting with Mentees. When you accept a booking request or receive a booking confirmation through the Career Navig8r Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Mentee, and are responsible for delivering the Mentor Service under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees like Career Navig8r’s service fee for each booking. Career Navig8r Payments will deduct amounts you owe from your pay-out unless we and you agree to a diﬀerent method. Any terms or conditions that you include in any supplement contract with Mentees must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our Policies, and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.

5.3 Independence of Mentors.Your relationship with Career Navig8r is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Career Navig8r, except that Career Navig8r Payments acts as a payment collection agent as described in the Payments Terms.

Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your role profiles/job roles Mentor Service and your price. You are responsible for your acts and omissions as well as for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Mentor Services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions like coverage details and exclusions.

6.2 Know Your Legal Obligations.

You should also seek permission from previous and current employers before sharing any information relating to them, the work you did for them, or any intellectual property which they own or owned by others. It is also advisable to seek legal advice on these matters as well.

6.3 Search Ranking. The ranking of Listings in search results on the Career Navig8r Platform depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:

Mentee search parameters (e.g., number of Mentees, time and duration of the session, price range),
Listing characteristics (e.g., price, calendar availability, number and quality of images, Reviews, type of Mentor Service, Mentor status, age of the Listing, average Mentee popularity),
Mentee booking experience (e.g., customer service and cancellation history of the Mentor, ease of booking),
Mentor requirements (e.g., minimum, or maximum sessions, booking cut-oﬀ time), and
Mentee preferences (e.g., previous sessions, saved Listings, location from where the Mentee is searching).

Search results may appear diﬀerent on our mobile application than they appear on our website. Career Navig8r may allow Mentors to promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the Career Navig8r Platform by paying a fee. More information about the factors that determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current promotional programs (if any) and how we identify promoted Content can be found in our Help Centre.

6.4 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible for your own acts and omissions in providing your Mentor Services. You are responsible for setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your Listing.

6.5 Mentoring as a Team or Organization.If you work with a co-Mentor or Mentor as part of a team, business or other organisation, the entity and each individual who participates in providing Mentor Services, is responsible and liable as a Mentor under these Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to enter into contracts for and bind your team, business or other organisation, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to perform those functions. If you instruct Career Navig8r to transfer a portion of your pay-out to a co-Mentor or other Mentors, or send payments to someone else, you must be authorised to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any pay-out information you provide.

6.6 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that Mentoring carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Career Navig8r Platform, oﬀering Mentor Services, or any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the Career Navig8r Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings or Mentor Services and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by Career Navig8r.

7. Cancellations, Issues, and Booking Modifications.

7.1 Cancellations and Issues.In general, if a Mentee cancels a booking, the amount paid to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that booking. As a Mentor, you should not cancel on a Mentee without a valid or applicable reason. If you cancel on a Mentee without such a valid reason, we may impose a cancellation fee and other consequences If: (i) a Mentee or Mentor experiences an Issue (issues will be defined and ruled upon through Career Navig8r’s Arbitration process as outlined in Career Navig8r’s refund and arbitration policy), (ii) an Extenuating Circumstance arises(the determination of if an extenuating circumstance has occurred will be defined and ruled upon through Career Navig8r’s Arbitration process as outlined in Career Navig8r’s refund and arbitration policy), or (iii) a booking is cancelled under Section 13 of these Terms, the amount you are paid will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Mentee, and by any other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If a Mentee receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by Career Navig8r exceeds your pay-out, Career Navig8r (via Career Navig8r Payments) may recover that amount from you, including by oﬀsetting the refund against your future pay-outs. You agree that Career Navig8r’s Cancellation Policy, and these Terms pre-empt the cancellation policy you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a booking and/or the issuance of refunds to Mentees. If we reasonably expect to provide a refund to a Mentee under one of these policies, we may delay release of any pay-out for that booking until a refund decision is made. You may appeal a decision by Career Navig8r by contacting our customer service.

7.2 Booking Modifications.Mentors and Mentees are responsible for any Booking Modifications they agree to make via the Career Navig8r Platform or direct Career Navig8r customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification.

15. Resolving Complaints

Arbitration Process:

Career Navig8r does not provide Mentoring or Mentors. Career Navig8r’s service is to provide the means for Mentors and Mentees to find, book and pay for the Mentoring Services oﬀered by Mentors. The service provider for Mentoring is the Mentor. As such, if this service is not satisfactory, or the conduct of those involved is not appropriate, this is an issue for the Mentor and Mentee to solve independent of Career Navig8r.

This said, so that Career Navig8r is a safe place to deliver and receive Mentoring, Career Navig8r has created an Arbitration Service so that refunds are possible under some clear conditions/stipulations. By using Career Navig8r you are agreeing to the process by which this arbitration operates and the outcome of the arbitration.

These stipulations referred to above are driven primarily by Stripe (Stripe is a completely independent technology platform that Career Navig8r uses to allow you to make and receive payments). Stripe was chosen due to its security and because it oﬀers a delayed payment system. It will collect money from a Mentee and then deposit these funds into the Mentor’s bank account after a period of time (Career Navig8r has no access to these funds at any time).

What Career Navig8r can do, is while these funds are being held by Stripe (or future similar payment platforms), to arbitrate between Mentor and Mentee if a dispute occurs, and then depending on the outcome of the arbitration (which we will decide) to direct Stripe to pay either the Mentor or refund the Mentee. But Stripe has strict time limits on how long it will delay a payment which directly impact the rules of the arbitration. As such:

Directly after a Mentoring meeting is conducted, Stripe will hold the funds for payment of this meeting for fourteen calendar days. Once this fourteen-day period is concluded, Stripe will automatically deposit the funds due to the Mentor into the Mentor’s bank account, at which point Career Navig8r will no longer be able to arbitrate and make a refund. As a result of this, the following is the structure of the Arbitration process:
1. The complaint / request for refund must be e-mailed to admin@careernavig8r.com within five calendar days of the Mentoring Session. The complaint must contain all the information that the Mentee has that illustrates that a refund should be made. It is important to note that any written evidence submitted, has to be information that was communicated through Career Navig8r communication system as it is a condition of using Career Navig8r that all written communication between a Mentor and Mentee must occur through the internal communication system. The only exception to this is the verbal communication that occurs in the Mentoring meetings itself.
2. If a request for a refund is made after the five calendar days, Career Navig8r will no longer be in the position to Arbitrate, and the Mentor and Mentee will need to solve the issue independent of Career Navig8r (Career Navig8r will no longer be involved and will play no part in any refund)
3. If the Mentee attempts to provide additional evidence after the initial five days, it will not be reviewed. The reason is the overarching time limit. To be fair to the Mentor, we need to allow the Mentor adequate time to see the evidence presented against them and then time to respond.
4. Once Career Navig8r has received the complaint and the evidence from the Mentee, it will then be sent unedited to the Mentor.
5. The Mentor will now have a right to reply and is given three calendar days to prepare and send their defence. Again, any written evidence presented must be that found on Career Navig8r’s communication system (see reason above) and no evidence presented by the Mentor after this three-day period will be reviewed.
6. If there is no response from the Mentor within this three-day period, for whatever reason, then unfortunately the arbitration will only consider the evidence presented by the Mentee. The only reason for this, is that the Stripe system will only hold the funds for the fourteen days, so this drives these strict time limits.
7. With the Mentees case made and hopefully the case of the Mentor presented to Career Navig8r within the stipulated time frames, Career Navig8r will impartially adjudicate the issue and come to a binding decision before the fourteen days deadline has been reached. The findings of Career Navig8r are binding (a stipulation of using this site for all users)
8. Career Navig8r will communicate its decision to both Mentor and Mentee, but this communication will not contain the reasons for the decision but simply what has been decided.
The second impact that the Stripe system has on the arbitration process relates to the following rule that it has in place. Strip will only hold monies for a maximum of 90 calendar days from the point of collection. In this case, the point of collection is when a Mentoring Meeting / Session has been booked. The fourteen-day rule is present from the point after the meeting occurs, but the ninety-day rule is from the point of booking. This means that if a Mentees requests a refund due to a complaint, and although it is made within five days of the meeting as outlined previously, if the meeting took place within fifteen days of the ninety-day period concluding, then Career Navig8r is unable to arbitrate. As such, the refund request will be an issue for the Mentor and Mentee to solve independent of Career Navig8r.

16. Career Navig8r’s Role.

We oﬀer a platform that enables Members to publish, oﬀer, search for, and book Mentor Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Career Navig8r is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members. Career Navig8r is not acting as an agent for any Member except for where Career Navig8r Payments acts as a collection agent as provided in the Payments Terms. While we work hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using Career Navig8r, we do not and cannot control the conduct or performance of Mentees and Mentors and do not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Mentor Services or (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Reviews, or other Content provided by Members. You acknowledge that Career Navig8r has no general obligation to monitor the use of the Career Navig8r Platform and verify information provided by our Members, but has the right to review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the Career Navig8r Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) address Member Content that we determine is harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria. Where we remove or disable Content, we will notify a Member and provide the reasons for such a measure, unless such notification would (i) prevent or impede the detection or prevention of fraud or other illegal activities, (ii) harm the legitimate interests of other Members or third parties, or (iii) contravene applicable laws. You may appeal such a decision by contacting our customer service. Members agree to cooperate with and assist Career Navig8r in good faith, and to provide Career Navig8r with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Career Navig8r with respect to any investigation undertaken by Career Navig8r regarding the use or abuse of the Career Navig8r Platform.

17. Member Accounts.

You must register an account to access and use many features of the Career Navig8r Platform. Registration is only permitted for legal entities, partnerships and natural persons who are 18 years or older. You represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from using the Career Navig8r Platform under the laws of the United States, your place of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up-to-date. You may not register more than one account or transfer your account to someone else. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You must immediately notify Career Navig8r if you suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, or your account is otherwise compromised. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through your Career Navig8r Account, unless such activities are not authorised by you and you are not otherwise negligent (such as failing to report the unauthorised use or loss of your credentials). If and as permitted by applicable law, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background, (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, and (iv) obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex oﬀender registrations or their local equivalents.

18. Disclaimer.

We do not endorse or warrant the existence, conduct, performance, safety, quality, legality or suitability of any Mentee, Mentor, Mentor Service, Listing or third party and we do not warrant that verification, identity or background checks conducted on Members (if any) will identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct. Any references to a member being "verified" (or similar language) indicate only that the Member or Career Navig8r has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. We are not responsible for outages or disruptions of the Internet and telecommunications equipment which are beyond our control and can lead to interruptions in the availability of the Career Navig8r Platform. Career Navig8r may, temporarily and under consideration of the Members’ legitimate interests (e.g., by providing prior notice), restrict the availability of the Career Navig8r Platform or certain features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Career Navig8r Platform.

19. Indemnification.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Career Navig8r’s option), indemnify, and hold Career Navig8r (including Career Navig8r Payments, other affliates, and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature) or our Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the Career Navig8r Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member, participation in Mentor Service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights. The indemnification obligation only applies if and to the extent that the claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses have been adequately caused by your culpable breach of a contractual obligation.

20. Contracting Entities.

Based on your country of residence or establishment and what you are doing on the Career Navig8r Platform, Schedule 1 below sets out the Career Navig8r entity with whom you are contracting. If we identify through the Career Navig8r Platform, a Career Navig8r entity other than the one set out on Schedule 1 as being responsible for a product, feature or transaction, the Career Navig8r entity so identified is your contracting entity with respect to that product, feature or transaction. If you change your country of residence or establishment to a country outside of the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the Career Navig8r company you contract with and the applicable version of the Terms of Service will be determined by your new country of residence or establishment, from the date on which your country of residence or establishment changes.

21. Applicable law and Jurisdiction.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with Irish law. If you are acting as a consumer and if mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain provisions that are more beneficial for you, such provisions shall apply irrespective of the choice of Irish law. As a consumer, you may bring any judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before the competent court of your place of residence or the competent court of Career Navig8r's place of business in Ireland. If Career Navig8r wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.

22. Miscellaneous.

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than you and Career Navig8r.

23. United States Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement.

23.1 Application. This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of residence or establishment is not the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against Career Navig8r in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 24 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.

23.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Career Navig8r is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 24 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Career Navig8r’s customer service team (described in paragraph 24.3, below), and if necessary (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and Career Navig8r each retain the right to seek relief in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.

23.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Career Navig8r each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send your notice of dispute to Career Navig8r by mailing it to Career Navig8r’s agent for service: admin@careernavig8r.com. Career Navig8r will send its notice of dispute to the email address associated with your Career Navig8r account. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).

23.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Career Navig8r mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the Career Navig8r Platform, Mentor Services, or any Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Career Navig8r agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

23.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Career Navig8r each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 22 of the Terms of Service for Non-European Users): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief. You and Career Navig8r agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

23.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules “) then in eﬀect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified

23.7 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defence that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.

23.8 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgement on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

23.9 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Career Navig8r acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

23.10 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Career Navig8r acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiﬀ or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

23.11 Severability. Except as provided in Section 24.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and eﬀect.

23.12 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If Career Navig8r changes this Section 24 after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is eﬀective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Career Navig8r (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in eﬀect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Career Navig8r.

23.13 Survival. Except as provided in Section 23.12, and subject to Section 13.6 of the Terms of Service for Non-European Users this Section 24 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Career Navig8r Platform or terminate your Career Navig8r Account.

Last Updated: October 2021

Thank you for using Career Navig8r!

These Terms of Service (“Terms”)are a binding legal agreement between you and Career Navig8r that govern your use of the websites, applications, and other oﬀerings from Career Navig8r (collectively, the “Career Navig8r Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Career Navig8r,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Career Navig8r entity set out on Schedule 1 with whom you are contracting.

The Career Navig8r Platform oﬀers an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, oﬀer, search for, and book services. Members who publish and oﬀer services are “Mentors” and Members who search for, book, or use services are “Mentees.” Mentors oﬀer “MentorServices”. You must register an account to access and use many features of the Career Navig8r Platform, and must keep your account information accurate. As the provider of the Career Navig8r Platform, Career Navig8r does not own, control, oﬀer or manage any Listings or Mentor Services (a listing is made when you create a description of a Job Role you wish to oﬀer Mentoring for, that can be accessed by potential Mentees on the Career Navig8r platform, and oﬀer that service at a specific price). Career Navig8r is not a party to the contracts concluded directly between Mentors and Mentees, nor is Career Navig8r an insurer or an organiser or retailer of mentoring services.
Career Navig8r is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms of Service “Payment Terms”). To learn more about Career Navig8r’s role see Section 16.

We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms like our Privacy / GDPR Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data, and our Payments Terms, which govern any payment services provided to Members by the Career Navig8r payment entities ("Career Navig8r Payments").

If you are a mentor, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Mentor Services.

Schedule 1 - Contracting Entities

1. Our Mission.

Our mission is to create a communication platform/online meeting place which enables Mentors to oﬀer their Mentoring Services to Mentees. A place where you can browse through millions of Listings to find the ones that fit your needs. Learn more about a Listing by reviewing the description and photos, the Mentor profile, and past Mentee reviews. If you have questions, just message the Mentor.

Career Navig8r provides the Career Navig8r Platform to Members for the purpose of assisting Members in securing the services of a Mentor who can credibly guide you on how to get and succeed in your desired Job Role. Or, if you are currently in a role, provide independent support. The Career Navig8r technology platform allows you to search for a potential Mentor by Job Roles they have had or currently hold, and then to further specify your requirement through defining the sector they have expertise in, the organisational level they held the Job Role at, and the Mentor cost per hour. This search will aid you to find a Mentor capable of supporting you to define a successful path to a desired Job Role, to successfully interview for this Job Role, and then to further excel as you begin it.

2. Searching and Booking on Career Navig8r.

There are two types of Bookings on Career Navig8r.

A Trial Meeting, which is a twenty-minute meeting in which the Mentor and Mentee decide if they can achieve the Mentees goals in future “Full Meetings”.
A Full Meeting, which is booked in blocks of sixty minutes

For the Full Meeting booking type, Career Navig8r reserves the right to immediately deduct the booking fee from the Mentee’s credit card / payment method on submission of the booking request for the amount specified. This amount can only be held for a maximum period of 90 days in advance of a meeting due to our payment platforms rules (Stripe). Within this 90-day period the meeting as such needs to occur. When it does, the monies are stored for fourteen days before they are then transferred to the Mentor’s Bank Account unless this period extends beyond the original 90-day period. For example, if the meeting occurred 80 days after the booking request, and said meeting occurs, these funds would be paid to the Mentor 10 days later as per the operating rules of Stripe.

This payment can be refunded through an Arbitration Process set out in point 15 of the Terms of Service which in turn reﬂect the rules for storing monies that Stripe impose.

In the event that the Mentor declines that meeting then the Career Navig8r booking system will initiate a refund to the Mentee as well as a result of the conditions laid out in the Career Navig8r Cancellation Policy. It is the Mentee’s responsibility to provide the correct credit card details and other necessary information to Career Navig8r in order to receive such a refund. It is the Mentor’s responsibility to provide the correct Bank Account details to ensure any monies due are paid.
Career Navig8r is not responsible or liable for any incorrect or out of date information provided by either the Mentor or Mentee to result in the refund or payment not being deposited correctly.

For the Trial Meeting booking type, Career Navig8r reserves the right to immediately pre-authorise the Mentee’s Credit Card for the booking request for the amount specified. This pre-authorization can only be in place for six days, and hence bookings for Trial Meetings must be made within a window of six days. As detailed in the Career Navig8r Cancellation Policy, if the Mentee cancels this meeting up to 24 hours before the meeting start time, or attends this meeting, or the Mentor does not attend this meeting then this payment is not taken from the Mentee’s credit card.

In the event that the Mentor declines this meeting then the Career Navig8r booking system will not claim any funds from the Mentee’s Credit Card. Again, it is the Mentor’s responsibility to provide the correct Bank Account details to ensure any monies due are paid. Career Navig8r is not responsible or liable for any incorrect or out of date information provided by either the Mentor or Mentee to result in the refund or payment not being deposited correctly.

2.2.1 Length of Meetings to reflect the potential of Meetings not starting on time

Five minutes before this meeting starts both Mentor and Mentee receive an email with a link to join their meeting. This link is also found in both the Mentor’s and Mentee’s Career Navig8r inbox.
A Full Meeting, which is booked in blocks of sixty minutes
For the Link to function correctly, the Mentor and Mentee must be signed into their Career Navig8r account
This link will take both the Mentor and Mentee to the booking request page in Career Navig8r
As the Meeting time arrives, a button that up to this point allows the Mentor or Mentee to cancel the meeting, instead now asks them to access the meeting. By pressing this button on their respective pages, both the Mentor and Mentee will enter the meeting’s virtual meeting room. A message will tell both participants if the other person has also arrived. When both parties have arrived, the Mentor’s Join Meeting button will become active and by pressing it, the Video Conferencing will launch. Once this button is pressed by the Mentor, the Mentee’s join now button becomes active and they too can join, at which point the meeting begins.

The Mentee is late – What now?

If a Mentee arrives late, they should still enter the waiting room first (to allow them to adjust their settings if required)
If the Mentor is on time, the “join now” button becomes active, and they should join the full meeting (they are told once joined that the Mentee has not arrived yet). The countdown clock will appear and start counting down from when the Mentor enters the meeting (not from when both people are in the meeting) from 60 minutes.

The Mentor is Late – What Now?

As stated, the Mentee cannot enter the meeting unless the Mentor has joined ahead of them
This means that the Join Now button only appears for the Mentee once the Mentor is in the meeting
If the Mentor arrives into the waiting room late, they will see the clock counting down from the meeting’s start down, with it having started at fifteen minutes
The Mentor can launch the meeting up to 14 minutes 59 seconds have elapsed (as measured by the countdown clock)
Once they enter the meeting, the clock will begin a 55 minutes countdown (or if it is a two-hour meeting – 1 hour and 55 minutes etc.)
Why is the clock starting at 55 minutes rather than the normal 60 minutes?
- By starting at 55 minutes, if the Mentor have another meeting with someone else in the next hour, they will arrive with roughly five minutes to spare so that meeting is not automatically cancelled
- Then that meeting will be 55 minutes and so on until they come to their last meeting
- Fortunately, the following happens with this chain reaction approach
  - Meeting One: Mentee One: Start Time 2pm. Mentor late (2.14.59): Meeting starts at 2.15 for 55 minutes
  - Meeting Two: Mentee Two: Start Time 3pm: Mentor arrives due to the above at 3.10 for 55 minutes
  - Meeting Three: Mentee Three: Start Time 4pm: Mentor arrives at 4.05 for 55 minutes
  - So, the process recorrects by the Mentor ‘s Meeting four, (the Mentor will be on-time)

Mentor or Mentee Technical or Skill Faults

2.2.1 Length of Meetings to reflect the potential of Meetings not starting on time
What follows is the explanation as to why “Full Meetings” may not be a full 60 minutes (Full Meeting). This relates to circumstances of the Mentor or Mentee being late to their meeting type, rather than a meeting being shortened for any other reason. By using the Career Navig8r platform you are agreeing to these time reductions occurring and also agreeing that no refund will be made as a result of the meeting times being shortened. What follows is the reason why meetings could be shortened by the system and by what amount they would be shortened. Again, what follows is designed to oﬀset the impact of the Mentor or Mentee being late to a meeting type and preventing this lateness having an impact of seeing consecutive meetings that happen not being cancelled.

6. Managing Your Listing.

6.2 Know Your Legal Obligations.You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Mentor Service Listing or Mentor Services. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Mentees and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms, including our Mentor Privacy Standards. You should also seek permission from previous and current employers before sharing any information relating to them, the work you did for them, or any intellectual property which they own or owned by others. It is also advisable to seek legal advice on these matters as well.

6.3 Search Ranking. The ranking of Listings in search results on the Career Navig8r Platform depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:

Mentee search parameters (e.g., number of Mentees, time and duration of the session, price range),
Listing characteristics (e.g., price, calendar availability, number and quality of images, Reviews, type of Mentor Service, Mentor status, age of the Listing, average Mentee popularity),
Mentee booking experience (e.g., customer service and cancellation history of the Mentor, ease of booking),
Mentor requirements (e.g., minimum, or maximum sessions, booking cut-oﬀ time), and
Mentee preferences (e.g., previous sessions, saved Listings, location from where the Mentee is searching).

Search results may appear diﬀerent on our mobile application than they appear on our website. Career Navig8r may allow Mentors to promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the Career Navig8r Platform by paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current promotional programs (if any) and how we identify promoted Content can be found in our Help Centre.

6.4 Your Responsibilities.You are responsible for your own acts and omissions in providing your Mentor Services. You are responsible for setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your Listing. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the Career Navig8r. Do not encourage Mentees to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside the Career Navig8r Platform in violation of our Terms of Service Policy.

6.6 Your Assumption of Risk.You acknowledge that Mentoring carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Career Navig8r Platform, oﬀering Mentor Services, or any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the Career Navig8r Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings or Mentor Services and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by Career Navig8r.

13.6 Survival. Parts of these Terms that by their nature survive termination, will survive termination of this agreement, including Sections 2 through 26.

14. Modification

15. Resolving Complaints

Arbitration Process:

This said, so that Career Navig8r is a safe place to deliver and receive Mentoring, Career Navig8r has created an Arbitration Service so that refunds are possible under some clear conditions /stipulations. By using Career Navig8r you are agreeing to the process by which this arbitration operates and the outcome of the arbitration.

Directly after a Mentoring meeting is conducted, Stripe will hold the funds for payment of this meeting for fourteen calendar days. Once this fourteen-day period is concluded, Stripe will automatically deposit the funds due to the Mentor into the Mentor’s bank account, at which point Career Navig8r will no longer be able to arbitrate and make a refund. As a result of this, the following is the structure of the Arbitration process:
1. The complaint / request for refund must be e-mailed to admin@careernavig8r.com within five calendar days of the Mentoring Session. The complaint must contain all the information that the Mentee has that illustrates that a refund should be made. It is important to note that any written evidence submitted, has to be information that was communicated through Career Navig8r communication system as it is a condition of using Career Navig8r that all written communication between a Mentor and Mentee must occur through the internal communication system. The only exception to this is the verbal communication that occurs in the Mentoring meetings itself.
2. If a request for a refund is made after the five calendar days, Career Navig8r will no longer be in the position to Arbitrate, and the Mentor and Mentee will need to solve the issue independent of Career Navig8r (Career Navig8r will no longer be involved and will play no part in any refund)
3. If the Mentee attempts to provide additional evidence after the initial five days, it will not be reviewed. The reason is the overarching time limit. To be fair to the Mentor, we need to allow the Mentor adequate time to see the evidence presented against them and then time to respond.
4. Once Career Navig8r has received the complaint and the evidence from the Mentee, it will then be sent unedited to the Mentor.
5. The Mentor will now have a right to reply and is given three calendar days to prepare and send their defence. Again, any written evidence presented must be that found on Career Navig8r’s communication system (see reason above) and no evidence presented by the Mentor after this three-day period will be reviewed.
6. If there is no response from the Mentor within this three-day period, for whatever reason, then unfortunately the arbitration will only consider the evidence presented by the Mentee. The only reason for this, is that the Stripe system will only hold the funds for the fourteen days, so this drives these strict time limits.
7. With the Mentees case made and hopefully the case of the Mentor presented to Career Navig8r within the stipulated time frames, Career Navig8r will impartially adjudicate the issue and come to a binding decision before the fourteen days deadline has been reached. The findings of Career Navig8r are binding (a stipulation of using this site for all users)
8. Career Navig8r will communicate its decision to both Mentor and Mentee, but this communication will not contain the reasons for the decision but simply what has been decided.
The second impact that the Stripe system has on the arbitration process relates to the following rule that it has in place. Strip will only hold monies for a maximum of 90 calendar days from the point of collection. In this case, the point of collection is when a Mentoring Meeting / Session has been booked. The fourteen-day rule is present from the point after the meeting occurs, but the ninety-day rule is from the point of booking. This means that if a Mentees requests a refund due to a complaint, and although it is made within five days of the meeting as outlined previously, if the meeting took place within fifteen days of the ninety-day period concluding, then Career Navig8r is unable to arbitrate. As such, the refund request will be an issue for the Mentor and Mentee to solve independent of Career Navig8r.

Except for our obligation to transmit payments to Mentors under these Terms, or make payments under the Career Navig8r Mentor Guarantee, in no event will Career Navig8r’s aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your interaction with any Members, or your use of or inability to use the Career Navig8r Platform, any Content, or any Mentor Service, exceed: (A) to Mentees, the amount you paid as a Mentee during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, (B) to Mentors, the amount paid to you as a Mentor in the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or (C) to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

20. Indemnification.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Career Navig8r’s option), indemnify, and hold Career Navig8r (including Career Navig8r Payments, other affliates, and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature) or our Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the Career Navig8r Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member, participation in an Experience or other Mentor Service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights.
