1. Services:

1.1.  The services provided by Jump Mentors (the “Services”) are primarily related to the management and operation of a network for the purpose of facilitating the engagement of various industry experts (“Mentors”) to Mentees (“Mentees”) seeking engagements with mentors (“Engagements”), including but not limited to the following types of Engagements:

 

(a)  Career consultation;

(b)  Mentorship/coaching; and

(c)  Resume review services.

 

2. Terms of Engagement

2.1.  All Engagements are subject to the Company’s Code of Conduct, which can be found here: www.jumpmentors.com/code-of-conduct. By participating in an Engagement, you agree to adhere to the Code of Conduct, whether as a Mentor or a Mentee, and not to engage in any action or inaction that will result in a breach of the Code of Conduct. This also means that a Mentee should not in any way encourage or facilitate the breach of a Mentor’s obligations.

 

2.2.  If you have registered as a Mentor, you acknowledge and agree that the Company may reach out to you for Engagements. 

 

2.3. All Mentors must provide a compliance declaration and undertaking in the form prescribed by the Company from time to time, including but not limited to at the time of registration as a Mentor.

 

2.4.  As a Mentor, your participation in the Services shall at no time be construed to create a relationship between you and the Company other than that of an independent contractor unless a separate written agreement to the contrary is entered into.

 

2.5.  In order to use or participate in the Services, you consent to providing any reasonable information (including personal data) that the Company may require to conduct essential background checks or verify the information you have provided to us.

 

2.6.  The Company is entitled to,  at all times and in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) refuse any request to use or participate in the Services; (ii) cancel your registration with the  Company; and (iii) determine if an Engagement is allowed to take place. The Company is under no obligation to ensure or procure any Engagements for you.

 

3. Fees and Refunds

3.1. The amount due and payable to a Mentor by a Mentee for the Engagement (“Fees”) shall be agreed between the Mentor and us at the start of our cooperation and prior to a Mentor being listed on our website. The Fees payable will be listed on the website in Singapore Dollars, and quoted based on the session length listed.

​

3.2. Payment of the Fees shall be made through the Site, and shall be collected by the Company, as set out below. The Company will retain a portion of the Fees (“Company Fee”), and remit the remaining monies to the Mentor after the Engagement has been completed. The Company Fee is currently 15% of the Fees, or S$15 (whichever is higher). The Fees are non-refundable, save as provided for herein.

​

3.3. In case of any changes to the Company Fee, the Company will notify Mentors in writing prior to effect any changes. All changes in the Company Fee shall not affect existing Engagements.

​

3.4. For Mentors who agree to offer a 4 session pack (“Package”), this will consist of 4 single Engagements that Mentees will pay upfront for. The Fees for a Package will be 10% off the equivalent Fees for 4 single Engagements. The Company Fees as set out in clause 3.2. shall be charged on the basis of this discounted rate. 3.5. If you are a Mentee, you undertake to pay the Fees once an Engagement or Package has been booked. The Company or our authorised third party payment processor will collect the Fees payable via your credit card, and you will be required to provide the necessary billing information for such payment to be processed. You acknowledge and agree that if the transaction is conducted by a third-party payment processor, you will have to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of the third-party payment processor. Kindly review all applicable terms and conditions of the third-party payment processor before making payment. Payment of the Fees shall be net of any bank fees or credit card fees charged by your bank or credit card company for the payment of the Fees, and you shall be responsible for the payment of such bank fees or credit card fees.

​

3.6. If you are a Mentor, you agree to provide, and you agree to the Company’s collection of, your current, complete and accurate bank account details, so that the Company can remit any monies owed to you for an Engagement, which shall be made within thirty (30) Singapore business days after the completion of said Engagement. 

​

3.7. You may change the timing of your Engagement through the Site upon giving notice to the Mentor (if you are a Mentee) or the Mentee (if you are a Mentor). Should such change be made within twenty-four (24) hours of the Engagement, the Company shall charge you a S$20 administrative fee. Should a Mentor change the timing of the engagement more than two (2) times in a row, the Mentee will be entitled to terminate the engagement and seek a refund of the Fees, upon request to the Company. In such an event, the Mentor shall be liable to the Company for the fees due to the Company for the Engagement. In the event of two (2) or more such events involving a Mentor, the Company is entitled to terminate the Mentor’s registration with the Company, and the Company shall owe no liability whatsoever to the Mentor for such termination. Should you fail to attend an Engagement at the agreed timing, the Engagement will be counted as completed. In such an event, if you are a Mentee, the Fees will not be refundable; if you are Mentor, the Mentee will be entitled to a refund upon request to the Company, and you will be liable to the Company for the Company Fee for the Engagement.
