These terms apply to anyone we pay through letsorbit, such as a referral partner, or a community's steward receiving the community's share of its dues. They add to our terms of use, our privacy notice and the terms under which you earn what we pay, all of which still apply.
Before we pay you
- Give us the accurate information we ask for, including tax forms and the details of the account we pay.
- Pass the identity checks that we or our payment provider require.
- We pay nothing until both are done, and we hold what you earn meanwhile.
- If we pay you through a payment provider, you agree to its terms for receiving payments, and we may share with it the information it needs to pay you.
- If you are paid for a community or an organization, you confirm you may receive its payments.
When we pay
- We pay a share only after we receive the payment it comes from, and after any hold we set. Holds may be longer for new payees.
- We pay on a schedule we set, in US dollars, to the account you give us, and we may wait until what we owe you reaches a minimum.
- If the account details you gave us are wrong, a payment sent to them counts as paid.
Refunds and corrections
- If a payment a share came from is refunded, disputed or reversed, the share is cancelled. If we already paid it, we take it from what we owe you next, or you repay it when we ask.
- We may correct any mistake in what we paid, either way.
- We may hold payments while we look into suspected fraud or a breach of our terms.
Taxes
You are responsible for your own taxes. We may report what we pay you to tax authorities, and withhold tax where the law requires.
Our relationship
Being paid by us does not make you our employee, agent or legal partner. You act for yourself and cannot bind us.
Ending
We may stop paying you, or stop paying anyone through letsorbit, at any time. When we do, we pay what you have earned and is due, less anything you owe us, except shares cancelled under these terms or the terms under which you earned them.
Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. A change applies to shares earned after we post it, and never to a dispute that began before it.
