5. Financial Terms and Payment Processing

All financial transactions on our platform are processed through secure, third-party payment processors. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect financial information, but users remain responsible for monitoring their accounts and reporting any irregularities promptly.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

The Skill Mentra platform, including its design, functionality, content, and underlying technology, is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Users receive a limited, non-exclusive license to use the platform for its intended purposes only.

User-Generated Content

Users retain ownership of content they create and upload to the platform but grant Skill Mentra a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute such content for platform operation and promotional purposes. Users warrant that they have all necessary rights to grant this license and that their content does not infringe on third-party rights.

Any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of platform content is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action. Users must respect the intellectual property rights of others and may not upload content that infringes on copyrights, trademarks, or other proprietary rights.

7. Privacy and Data Protection

We are committed to protecting user privacy and handling personal information responsibly. Our comprehensive Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, store, and protect user data. By using our platform, you consent to our data practices as described in the Privacy Policy.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based platform can guarantee complete security, and users should take appropriate precautions when sharing sensitive information.

8. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimers

Skill Mentra provides the platform "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free platform operation.

Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skill Mentra shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, regardless of the theory of liability.

Our total liability for any claims arising from or related to the platform shall not exceed the total amount of fees paid by the user to Skill Mentra in the twelve months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so these limitations may not apply to all users.

9. Termination and Account Suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate user accounts at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for violations of these terms, fraudulent activities, or behavior that threatens platform security or other users' safety. Users may also terminate their accounts at any time by following the account closure process.

Effects of Termination

  • Immediate loss of access to all platform features and services
  • Retention of certain data as required by law or legitimate business purposes
  • Continued obligation to fulfill existing campaign commitments
  • Forfeiture of any pending or future platform benefits

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or platform use shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Before initiating formal dispute resolution, parties agree to attempt good-faith negotiations to resolve conflicts. Users waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitration against Skill Mentra, except where prohibited by applicable law.
