  • All prices are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and include GST where applicable

Mentor Payments:

  • Payments are processed via bank transfer after invoices are reviewed and approved

  • Mentors must provide accurate bank account and tax information to receive payments

7. Buyer-Created Tax Invoices

By registering as a mentor on MentorSub and providing your payment details, you agree that MentorSub Limited will issue buyer-created tax invoices on your behalf for mentorship services you provide through the platform. This means:

  • MentorSub will create invoices on your behalf for each completed mentorship session

  • If you are registered for GST in New Zealand, these will be issued as buyer-created tax invoices and will include your GST number

  • You agree not to issue your own tax invoices for services covered by a buyer-created tax invoice from MentorSub

  • Invoice documents are available for download from your earnings page and should be retained for your tax records

  • GST status is recorded at the time of invoice creation; subsequent changes to your GST registration will not affect previously issued invoices

8. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by MentorSub and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Users retain ownership of their own content but grant us a license to use it in connection with providing the Service.

9. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Service, to understand our practices.

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason in our sole discretion.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted. In no event shall MentorSub be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which MentorSub operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
