Our Pricing
GrowthMentor is a subscription based community that offers a suite of value added services to it’s members such as access to mentors with rates listed as free, access to the help request feature, and access to a private Slack community.
Subscriptions are to be associated to a single person and cannot be shared with others. Sharing GrowthMentor services with a non-registered person will result in a suspension of services.
The pricing of our services may change, at any time without prior notice and at our discretion. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of our services.
Fees for Mentors
The amount due and payable to a mentor is agreed between the mentor and us at the start of our cooperation and prior to a mentor being listed on our website. These fees will be listed on the website in US Dollars, and quoted as in the session length listed (15 min, 30 min or 60 min).
We will collect a percentage of the mentor fee directly from the payment received from the mentee and remit the remaining monies to the mentor via Stripe in US Dollars. Our current fee for mentors is 15%. Service Fees are non-refundable.
In case of any changes to our fees or methods of payment, we will notify you in writing prior to effecting any changes.
Fees for Mentees
You undertake to pay the fees charged to you for completed sessions.
Once a session is booked, we or our authorized third party payment processor will collect the fees payable via your credit card. In order to process your payment, you will be asked for billing information including name, billing address and your credit card details. We will ensure that in case payments are processed by a third party these are via a secure payment method. Please note that where transactions are undertaken by a third party processor the terms and conditions and privacy policy which apply to the processors services will be applicable to your transaction. Please review the third parties’ terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. You must also check if your credit card provider charges fees related to the payment of these services. We disclaim liability for credit card processing transactions charged to you by your provider.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate billing information, including your email address, credit card number and expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
At the booking of a session you authorize us to charge your credit card to collect the fees listed in relation to your selected Mentor on our website.
If you do not attend a paid call and the mentor was present, this session will count as completed. As the mentor plans their time for these calls, cancellations within 6 hours of the scheduled start time are also considered as completed calls.
Fair Usage Policy
At our discretion, we may implement a fair usage policy to ensure that all our mentees have access to our mentors and to prevent any single user from monopolizing their time. A cap of 20 sessions per month will be automatically activated after a mentee has requested more than 100 sessions within a 6-month period. However, if a mentee has a valid justification for why they need to request more sessions, they may appeal the cap. We reserve the right to review and assess each appeal on a case-by-case basis, and our decision will be final.
Confidentiality
All mentors must adhere to a strict confidentiality agreement. This means that any information shared with you by your mentees during sessions—be it personal data, business strategies, marketing plans, or any other sensitive information—must be kept strictly confidential.
Mentors are not permitted to share, disclose, or discuss any data or information provided by mentees with third parties, including but not limited to other mentors, colleagues, friends, family members, or any external entities, unless you have explicit permission from the mentee.
Non-Circumvention
All mentorship sessions are to be scheduled within the GrowthMentor platform. It is a breach of the terms of service for mentors or mentees to suggest making or receiving a payment outside of the GrowthMentor platform for services rendered and connections established via the GrowthMentor platform.
Subscription Details
Your subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel your plan at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period.
Your account will be charged for the renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current subscription period. Automatic renewals will cost the same price you were originally charged for the subscription (unless there was a 1 time promotion).
Refunds
Refunds are possible within 14 days of the start of membership when no call has been scheduled in the system.
Refund possibilities are forfeited when a call with a mentor is requested and accepted within the platform or the direct messaging function has been used to solicit advice from mentors or connect outside of the platform.
