To access the Services, Lawyer Users must create a Quidpro Profile on the Platform, by providing relevant information, which includes relevant individual/business name, an official email address, a phone number, a high-strength password and other standard Know-Your-User requests. Lawyer User acknowledge that We may use the phone number and email You provided to Us when You created Your Quidpro Profile or as updated by You from time to time as the primary mode of communicating with You, including with respect to updates or other information relating to any of the Services available on Our Platform. The Quidpro Profile generates a personalized booking link that Lawyer Users can share via WhatsApp, email, social media, or other channels, to enable Client Users to view and access the relevant Lawyer Users’ Profile, select available Bookings from the integrated calendar, and complete payment while Lawyer Users retain full control over their calendar and rates.

The Dashboard provided to Lawyer Users as part of Your Quidpro Profile is for the sole purpose of the Services.

6. Subscription Fees, Consultation Charges & Taxes

6.1. Subscription Fees

Lawyer Users shall pay the subscription fees as advised by Quidpro immediately as and when due in the currency and into the bank account indicated in the Subscription Plan and hereby authorize Quidpro to conduct automatic debits of Lawyer User’s designated funding source for such fees as they become payable.

Subscription fees are payable at the start of each subscription term (including any renewal terms) (“Subscription Term”), and Quidpro will automatically debit fees and any applicable charges from Lawyer User’s designated funding source in accordance with the provisions of this Section or the relevant Subscription Plan or as otherwise agreed with Quid. Other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement, subscription fees are non-refundable.

6.2. Consultation Charges, Rates, and Platform Fees Lawyer Users are solely responsible for determining and setting the rates, fees, or other charges payable by Client Users for legal Consultations and related services (“Consultation Charges”) on the Platform, subject to applicable laws. By using the Services, Client Users authorize Quidpro and Our payment processors to charge the Consultation Charges (and any applicable Platform fees) to the Client User’s designated payment method when a Booking, Consultation, or other billable event occurs in accordance with the relevant rates made available to the Client User on the Platform, and in accordance with this Agreement. We may charge Lawyer Users and/or Client Users a separate Platform, or transaction fee on each completed or processed Consultation or payment (“Platform Fees”), as disclosed on the Platform, in the Subscription Plan, or otherwise notified in writing. By using the Platform, Users agree to such Platform Fees.

6.3. If Lawyer User fails to pay the subscription fees as and when due, then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available to Quid, Quidpro may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly, provided that the interest rate shall not exceed the highest rate permitted under applicable law. Additionally, User shall reimburse Quidpro for all costs incurred by Quidpro in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys' fees, court costs, and collection agency fees. If such failure continues for 7 (Seven) days following written notice thereof, Quidpro may suspend performance of the Services until all past-due amounts and interest thereon have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to the Lawyer User, Client User, or any other person by reason of such suspension.

6.4. Quidpro may increase the subscription fees, including any amounts which the Lawyer User is required to pay under this Agreement, by providing written notice of the new subscription or other fees to Lawyer User at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement date of the new Subscription Term.

6.5. All amounts payable to Quidpro under this Agreement shall be paid by User to Quidpro in full without any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit, or withholding for any reason. All subscription fees and other amounts payable by Lawyer User under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Without limiting the foregoing, Lawyer User is responsible and liable for all sales, use, and excise taxes, value added tax and any other similar taxes, foreign exchange charges, duties, debit/credit card charges, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority or any of

our subcontractors or third parties, on the subscription fees or any amounts payable by Lawyer User hereunder.
6.6. If a User disputes any subscription fee, Platform Fee, Consultation Charge, or other amount debited or charged by Us, the User must notify Us in writing within thirty (30) days of such debit, providing reasonable details of the disputed amount. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the User to investigate and resolve the dispute promptly. If You do not notify Quidpro of any such dispute within thirty (30) days, You waive the right to dispute any such charge.

7. Metered Billing and Payment Authorization

7.1. Authorization Holds For metered consultations, We may place an Authorization Hold on the Client User’s payment method for up to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the estimated consultation cost. This is a pre-authorization only and not an actual charge. The Client User will only be charged for the actual consultation time used, plus any applicable taxes and fees.

7.2. Time Tracking Consultation time is tracked automatically from the moment the call or video session is initiated via the Platform until it ends. Billing is calculated per second (or such other minimum billing unit as We may specify on the Platform from time to time) based on the applicable Lawyer User’s rate as displayed to the Client User at the time of Booking or initiating the Consultation.

7.3. Final Charges Upon completion of the Consultation, the Client User will be charged only for the actual duration of the Consultation, plus any applicable taxes and fees, up to the amount of the Authorization Hold. Any unused portion of the Authorization Hold will be released. The timing of the release is subject to the Client User’s bank or payment provider and is outside Our control. The Client User will receive an itemized receipt or transaction summary via the Platform or by email.

7.4. Exceeded Estimates If a Consultation exceeds the estimated time, the Client User will receive notifications at five (5) minutes remaining, one (1) minute remaining, and when the estimate is exceeded. The Client User may end the Consultation at any time. Continuing the Consultation beyond the estimated time constitutes the Client User’s authorization and acceptance of additional charges based on the Lawyer User’s applicable rate and the additional time used.

8. Intellectual Property Rights

8.1. All right, title, and interest in and to the Platform and Quidpro Materials, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, are and will remain with Quidpro and, with respect to Third-Party Materials, the applicable third-party provider own all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Third-Party Materials. You have no right, license, or authorization with respect to any of the Quidpro Materials except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the applicable third-party license. All other rights in and to the Quidpro Materials are expressly reserved by Quid. Users hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to Quidpro all right, title, and interest in and to the Resultant Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto. As between User and Quid, User is and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all User Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto, subject to the rights and permissions granted in this Agreement.
