The Platform shall send only the top three Proposals to a Planner, and shall make such selection based on criteria such as price, value, length of time on the Platform, prior Planner Reviews (as defined below) submitted about each Vendor, and Vendor cancellation rates. Such criteria, and the relative weight given to them, may change from time to time at our discretion. Your Proposal may therefore not be selected by the Platform.

You acknowledge and agree that such Third-Party Services are subject to different terms and conditions and privacy policiesand you should review them independently.

We are not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, any fees charged for using the Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by us of such Third-Party Services.
      4. 4.2.4.

You hereby agree and acknowledge that the Company's obligation to pay you is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from the relevant Planner and that the Company has no liability if and to the extent such payments are not received. We guarantee payments to Vendors only for such amounts that have been successfully received by the Payment Services from the relevant Planners in accordance with the Terms.
    3. 4.3. Payment Process& hellopurple Fees
      1. 4.3.1. Your general right to access and use the Platform is currently for free, but we will charge a fee in connection with each Contract resulting from the use of the Platform. The Company reserves the right to initiate a general usage fee in the future to maintain an Account.
      2. 4.3.2. You hereby acknowledge and agree that payment for each Contract shall be done exclusively through the Platform (including via use of Third-Party Services), and no monies shall be exchanged between the Vendor and Planner outside of the Platform.
      3. 4.3.3.

The relevant Planner must pay the full amount set forth in such statement to hellopurple, via the Payment Services, within seventy-two (72) hours of the availability of the statement in the Planner’s account on the Platform. If such amount is not timely paid, the Contract will be cancelled and you will receive notice of such cancellation. You will receive no payment for a Contract cancelled in this manner.
      5. 4.3.5.

        For the sake of illustration only: if you and the Planner form a Contract for Vendor Services in the amount of USD 100, the Planner pays hellopurple USD 103.20, the Down Payment will equal USD 10, and the Remaining Balance will equal USD 77.50. Thus, for Vendor Services satisfactorily completed, you will receive an aggregate of USD 87.50. You are advised to take these amounts into consideration when formulating your Proposal.
      6. 4.3.6. Within seven (7) business daysfollowing the date that the Vendor Services are intended to have been completed according to the Contract (“Target Completion Date”), you shall upload or send to vendors@hellopurple.com a tax invoice for the Remaining Balance. The Planner may, within seven (7) business days of the intended completion date, notify hellopurple that the Vendor Services were not provided or of any other asserted cause to withhold some or all of the Remaining Balance.

      7. 4.3.7. If the Planner provides timely notice that the Vendor Services were not satisfactorily completed, we shall inform you of such and retain the Remaining Balance until you and the Planner provide joint instructions with respect thereto, including the U.S. bank account information for any indicated recipients and, to the extent applicable and not already provided, a tax invoice from each recipient.

      8. 4.3.8. You agree to negotiate informally and in good faith any dispute that may arise with respect to a Contract. You agree to notify hellopurple and the relevant Planner at least thirty (30) days before initiating any formal proceeding.

      10. 4.3.10. We shall be entitled to withhold any payment of tax required by any applicable law.
      11. 4.3.11. You hereby agree and acknowledge that the amount of the Payment Processing Fee and the Commission may change at any time, provided that such change shall apply only to Contracts that are created after you are notified of the change (which notice may be by means of a notice on our website or in your Account).
