Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Bandwagon Music Pty Ltd, (“Bandwagon”, “we” or “us”), is a web and smartphone application platform (the “App”) that connects people 1-on-1 for real time, on-demand, live video Mentoring Sessions. These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) govern your access to and use of the Bandwagon Music Pty Ltd mobile application platform (the “App”) and the website located at https:/bandwagonhub.com (the “Website”), including any content, functionality and services offered on or through the App or the Website, and any of our other products or services (collectively referred to as the “Services”).

The Services are made available to both Mentors and Mentees (as defined below). For purposes of these Terms of Service, a “Mentee” is anyone who signs up for a Bandwagon Mentees profile in order to connect with a Mentor. A “Mentor” is anyone who creates a Mentor profile for the purposes of sharing his or her time and/or skills or interests for payment and/or charity.  A person can be both a Mentor and a Mentee, but not in the same transaction. In these Terms of Service, Mentors and Mentees are referred to collectively as “you”.

Please read the Terms of Service carefully before using the Services because they contain provisions that affect your rights and obligations, including a mandatory arbitration provision and a waiver of your right to participate in a class action.  By using the Services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, found

If you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the Services. If you are over 16 years of age or older but under age 18, you should review these Terms of Service with your parent or guardian to ensure that you and your parent or guardian understand all of your rights and obligations.

You acknowledge and confirm that:

  1. you have read and understand all of the terms, conditions, policies, provisions, disclosures
  2. and disclaimers contained herein,
  3. these Terms of Service have the same force and effect as a signed agreement, and
  4. you expressly accept and agree to be bound by the terms hereof.

Changes to these Terms of Service

We may modify these Terms of Service at any time at our sole discretion. We will post notice of changes to these Terms of Service on this page. Changes will not apply retroactively and will only become effective when

    1. you use the Services after you know about the change, or thirty (30) days after they are posted, whichever is sooner. However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or 
    2. changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. We will also update the Last Modified Date at the top of these Terms of Service accordingly. Your continued use of the Services after the Last Modified Date signifies your consent to the modified Terms of Service. You are expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you. If the modified Terms of Service are not acceptable to you, you should not access or use the Services after the Last Modified Date.

Data Privacy and Personal Information

If you live outside the United States, by agreeing to these Terms of Service you consent to the transfer and processing of your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy and Australian Law.

You should not submit or upload personal information or any other information about yourself or others that you are not comfortable disclosing to the general public. This information may be viewable by other members of the App’s community and may be searchable on indexing websites such as Google.

By agreeing to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and agree that we have the right to display any or all of the information on your profile, including, but not limited to your photograph, in our marketing materials, in the App and on our Website without obtaining your permission.

International Mentors and Mentees

Bandwagon and the services provided are operated from within Australia. If you access the Services from a location outside Australia, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws of that jurisdiction, including those regarding security, online conduct and acceptable content. Bandwagon Music Pty Ltd makes no claim that the content of the Services may be utilised, accessed or appropriate outside Australia. You must not access or use the Services from a territory that is embargoed by Australia or from which it is illegal to receive products, services, or software from Australia.

Third Party Links

The Services may link to independent third-party websites or social media widgets, and may give you the ability to link to social media accounts in your Profile. Such hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only. Bandwagon is not liable for the availability or accuracy of such third-party sources, and you assume all risk in using them. When you link to them, these third-party sites or services may place cookies and other tracking technologies on your computer and may have different rules for using or sharing any personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before submitting your personal information. When you access third party websites or interact or communicate with third parties, including Mentors, through the Services, you do so at your own risk. Bandwagon Music Pty Ltd is not responsible for the actions, content, information, data, practices, policies or opinions of any third parties, including Mentors. You are solely responsible for your interactions with third parties (including Mentors) and you should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline interaction with any other person.

If you have a dispute with one more third-party websites or third parties, including Mentors, you hereby release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, privacy or data. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes. The waiver states that: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favour at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Mentee Registration

Using the Services requires you to create a Profile and accept our Terms of Service. Please see our Help/FAQs for additional information on what information is required.

By registering, you represent and warrant:

  1. that all of the information that you provide, including any social media profiles and other links that you choose to add to your profile, is correct, current, and complete;
  2. that you have created an account for yourself and have not  misrepresented your identity or created a false identity; and facilitate any illegal topic, or otherwise for the purpose of providing any illegal information. If you believe that your identity or someone else’s identity has been misrepresented, contact us immediately. You may also report Mentees or Mentors who you believe to be in breach of this paragraph.

You agree that all information you provide to register with or use the Services or otherwise is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

You agree to keep your account information confidential and to not share your account with others.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your username or password or any other breach of security.

Payment; Credits

To book a Bandwagon session with a Mentor, Mentees must add their credit card or debit card information (“Payment Method”), including full name on the card, card number, expiration date, CVC number, and the complete billing address (including country). The personal information that you provide to us will be collected, and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your credit card information will be stored on Stripe, as described below.

The Payment Method will be charged at the time of booking. By entering your payment information, you confirm that the Payment Method being used is yours or that you have been authorised by the owner of the Payment Method to use it.  All Payment Methods are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the issuer.  If the credit or debit card issuer refuses to authorise payment, we will not be responsible for any delay in your ability to access and use the Services.

All payment transactions made through our App are processed by Stripe, a service offered by Stripe, Inc., and your payments are processed by Stripe in accordance with Stripe’s terms and privacy policy, available on Stripe, Inc.’s website, https://stripe.com/. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by Stripe Inc.’s terms and privacy policy.

To help ensure that your use of our App is secure, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Bandwagon does not store credit or debit or bank information. Payment information is passed directly via SSL encryption to Stripe for payments and payouts for payroll. We secure the transport using HTTPS to encrypt data to and from the servers, Mentees, and third-party providers. Please note that while we take reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, in the absence of negligence on our part we are not liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any information that you provide.

Mentor Registration 

Registration as a Mentor requires you to be invited to create a mentor profile. Please see our Help/FAQs for additional information. By providing this information, you:

  1. represent and warrant that all of the information that you provide in your profile is current, correct;
  2. complete, and not misleading, and that you have not registered for any illegal purpose, to facilitate;
  3. any illegal topic, or otherwise for the purpose of providing any illegal information and;
  4. consent to the display of the information that you provide in your Mentor Profile to Mentees. 

Prior to receiving compensation for serving as a Mentor you will need to either designate Stripe as your preferred payment method and enter the information necessary or enter your bank name, account number, routing number, account holder name, account holder type, address and country, all which will be subject to verification by us. This information is not part of your public Mentor Profile. As a security precaution, bank details cannot be edited once verified; instead, you must delete the bank details and add new information as necessary. 

You cannot get paid as a Mentor until your payout details are complete and verified, which may take up to three (3) business days. By entering your bank details, you confirm that the bank account being used is yours or that you have been authorised by the owner of the bank account to use it. To help ensure that your use of our App is secure, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. We do not store credit or debit or bank information. 

Please note that while we take reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, in the absence of negligence on our part we are not liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any information that you provide. Once your Mentor account is set up, your Mentor Profile will be viewable to all Mentees.

Once you become a mentor, you will not be able to delete your Profile. However, you may freeze your Profile in order to not appear in search results or be available for booking Sessions.

We will not be responsible to you for any claims or damages in connection with such freeze, including but not limited to claims for lost profits.

Bandwagon Commission

Bandwagon Administration and Management fees will be 20% of all revenue earned by Mentors from Bandwagon sessions. 

Payments to Mentors

After we deduct our 20% Commission fee, the remaining 80% of all monies earned by the Mentor(s) will be transferred to their selected account directly through Stripe or PayPal, with merchant transfer fees being deducted. 

Mentor and Mentee Ratings

Mentors and Mentees are prompted to rate each other after each Bandwagon session has ended. Mentor ratings are viewable publicly in Mentor profiles.

We will review Mentee and Mentor ratings and take appropriate action as we deem necessary in our sole discretion, up to and including banning a Mentee or a Mentor. By using the Services, Mentors and Mentees agree that we have no liability for any action or failure to take any action as a result of ratings or reports given by Mentors or Mentees.

Despite this provision, you may file a claim in a small claims court that has jurisdiction to hear the matter.
