Payments Services

Univext Payment Services

By using the Payments Services, you agree to comply with these Payments Terms. Univext Payments may temporarily limit or suspend your access to or use of the Payment Services, or its features, to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper functioning of the Payment Services. Univext Payments may improve, enhance and modify the Payment Services and introduce new Payment Services from time to time. Univext Payments will provide notice to Users of any changes to the Payment Services, unless such changes do not materially increase the Users' contractual obligations or decrease the Users' rights under these Payments Terms.

Third-Party Services

The Payment Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources ("Third-Party Services"). Such Third-Party Services are subject to different terms of service and privacy policies, and Users should review them. Univext Payments is not responsible or liable for the use of such Third-Party Services. Links to any Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Univext Payments of those Third-Party Services.

Your Univext Account

You may not authorize a third party to use your Univext account. You acknowledge and agree that anyone using your Univext account may use the Payment Services on your behalf and that you will be responsible for any payments made by such person.

Verification

You authorize Univext Payments, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and information you provide. This may include (i) screening you against third-party databases or other sources, (ii) requesting reports from service providers, (iii) asking you to provide a form of government identification (e.g., driver's license or passport), your date of birth, your address, and other information; or (iv) requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, Payment Methods and/or Payout Methods. Univext Payments reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or limit access to the Payment Services in the event we are unable to obtain or verify any of this information.

Additional Terms

Your access to or use of certain Payment Services may be subject to, or require you to accept, additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Payments Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific Payment Service, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that Payment Service, unless specified otherwise.

Use of the Payments Service

Adding a Payment Method.

When you add a Payment Method to your Univext account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information either to Univext Payments or its third-party payment processors. You authorize Univext Payments and its payment service providers to collect and store your Payment Method information.

Payment Method Verification

When you add or use a new Payment Method, Univext Payments may verify the Payment Method by (i) authorizing your Payment Method using 3D Secure in compliance with SCA, or (ii) requiring you to upload a billing statement. When you add a Payment Method, we will automatically save and add that Payment Method to your Univext account so it can be used for a future transaction. You can remove the Payment Method from your Univext account as long as it is not associated with an active or future Usership.

Payment Authorization

You allow Univext Payments to charge your Payment Method (including charging more than one payment method), either directly or indirectly, for all fees due (including any applicable taxes) in connection with your Univext account.

Automatic Update of Payment Method

If your Payment Method's information changes as a result of re-issuance or otherwise, we may acquire that information from our financial services partners or your bank and automatically update your Payment Method on file.

Payment Restrictions

Univext Payments reserves the right to decline or limit payments that we believe (i) may violate Univext Payments' risk management policies or procedures, (ii) may violate these Payments Terms or the Terms, (iii) are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or (iv) expose you, Univext, Univext Payments, or others to risks unacceptable to Univext Payments.

Payment Service Providers

Payment Methods may involve the use of third-party payment service providers. These payment service providers may charge you additional fees when processing payments in connection with the Payment Services, and Univext Payments is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Your Payment Method may also be subject to additional terms of use. Please review them before using your Payment Method.

Your Responsibilities

Univext Payments is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payment Method information provided by you.

Collection of Payments

Timing of Payment

Univext Payments generally charges the Usership fees due for an active Usership at its renewal date. However, the billing date may be changing as a result of an unsuccessful payment in which case Univext reserves the right to pause, suspend or revoke your Usership until the payment is processed successfully. Univext Payments will collect the Usership fees due at a later point in accordance with Section 3.3.

Currency

Univext Payments will process each transaction in the currency you select via the Airbnb Platform. The currencies available to make payments may be limited for regulatory or operational reasons based on factors such as your selected Payment Method, your country of residence, and/or your Univext Payments contracting entities. Any such limitations will be communicated via the Univext Platform, and you will be prompted to select a different currency or Payment Method. Note that if your Univext Payments contracting entity's location is different than the country of your Payment Method, or your selected currency is different than your Payment Method's billing currency, your payment may be processed outside of your country of residence. As a result, certain fees may apply and the amount listed on your card statement may be different from the amount shown at checkout. Univext Payments is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Please contact your bank or credit card company if you have any questions about these fees or the applicable exchange rate.

Unsuccessful Payments

In the case we are unable to collect any amounts you owe under these Payments Terms, Univext may engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from you. Univext reserves the right to pause, suspend or revoke your Usership until the payment is processed successfully. You hereby explicitly agree that all communications in relation to amounts owed will be made by electronic mail, as provided to Univext and/or Univext Payments by you. Such communications may be made by Univext, Univext Payments, or by anyone on their behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collection agent.

Teachers Payouts

Teaching Services

Upon Booking, the Teacher agrees to deliver the Teacher Services and not to enter into any contractual provisions that conflict with the Terms or other Univext Policies. The Teacher acknowledges and agree that the reputation of the Univext Platform depends on their performance and quality of the Teaching Services they provide.

Earnings Calculations

Earnings on Univext are calculated based on the successful Teaching Services a Teacher has provided. Earnings are based on the US Dollars and Univext is not responsible for currency fluctuations that occur when Earnings are calculated or Payouts are made. The base Earnings for a confirmed Class is fourteen (14) US Dollars and for each Student present in this Class, a three (3) US Dollars increment will get added to your Earnings for this Class. For example, for a one-to-one Class with one (1) Student in it, you will earn 17 (seventeen) US Dollars. For a group Class with five (5) Students, you will earn twenty-nine (29) US Dollars. Your Earnings history will be displayed in your personal account.

Earnings and Coupons

A student using a Coupon to pay for a Class will be deducted from your Earnings calculation. Your Earnings for a Class will be calculated based on the number of Students who haven't used a coupon to pay for this Class. In the case of a group Class, the number of Students who have used a Coupon will be deducted from the total number of Students in the Class. For example, if five (5) Students are part of your Class and two (2) of these Students used a Coupon for paying for this Class, your Earnings for this Class will be 23 (twenty-three) US Dollars. In the case of a one-to-one Class, if the Student used a Coupon to pay for this Class, your Earnings for this Class will not be calculated and will be zero (0) US Dollars.

Earnings and Disputes

Sometimes, your Teaching Services may be in dispute. Univext reserves the right to hold your Earnings or Payouts while the issue is not resolved.

Time of Payouts

In the beginning of each calendar month, Univext calculates a Teacher's remuneration based on the Earnings a Teacher had in the previous calendar month. This means that the number of days for which the calculation happens may vary depending on the calendar month when the Payout happens. Univext will typically send Payouts within seven (7) days following the start of the calendar month for the previous month period.

Payout Methods

Univext typically uses direct bank transfer for sending Payouts to Teachers. You may be charged additional fees by the third-party services you may use. These fees are not under Univext's control, and Univext disclaims all liability in this regard. Payout Methods may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which we recommend that you review before using them.

Prohibited behavior

Teachers shall not to engage in any action or activity meant to circumvent Univext activities, with such actions or activities including, but not limited to, the following: (i) suggesting, soliciting, or accepting payment outside of the Univext Platform, or by other means other than through the Univext Payments; or (ii) reporting or listing an inaccurate information on the Univext Platform, or charging a fee for Teaching Services that is different from the ones Univext displays.

Your Responsibilities

Univext Payments is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payout Method information provided by you.
